Ruth Rotkowitz is a novelist, including the book Escaping a Whale which focuses around holocaust survivors. Join Ruth and Pete in this episode where they talk all about inherited trauma, how Ruth was inspired to write and why at 73 Ruth has finally realised her dreams and is living her truth as a novelist.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Ruth has always wanted to write. She loves reading, literature and writing. She became an English teacher where she taught at a specialist New York school as well as community colleges in New Jersey but also wrote too.
As a child of holocaust survivors, Ruth has suffered from what is called inherited trauma. One of the many side effects of this is children feeling like they have to make their parents suffering worthwhile, often by being extremely successful. Recent research has also found that the trauma affects children biologically, that they are literally inheriting the trauma as DNA.
Networking and finding other people who had suffered similar experiences to Ruth is what pushed her to take her book to a publisher.
The fear that parents passed onto their children is very real. Many holocaust survivors for example, wouldn’t trust certain countries and would even be scared to be honest about their religion.

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“The holocaust is over but is it for the next generation?”

 

“The reaction I have gotten [to the book] has been wonderful”

Fire in The Belly

What is Inherited Trauma? with Writer Ruth Rotkowitz

Join Pete as he speaks to entrepreneur, founder and director Stephen Rudolf.

Stephen talks to Pete all about his journey to the realisation that he had much to learn as well as teach eventually leading to the development of his programme: Feed Your Tigers.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Steven Rudolph

Founder-Director,

Multiple Natures International

steven@multiplenatures.com

www.feedyourtigers.com, www.multiplenatures.com

In 1989, while pursuing a career in music in New York, Steven Rudolph took up a part-time teaching job to make ends meet. In his first class, he had an epiphany: that he had an innate capacity to teach. Though he had no formal training, it was as if he already knew how to do it. The realization led him on a 21-year quest to India, where he uncovered 5,000-year-old secrets to self-understanding and achieving one's potential. He later found that the same discoveries made by the ancients about human nature were consistent with what modern neuroscientists had to say about how the brain functions. Steven has crafted those principles into an easy-to-use, enjoyable program--Feed Your Tigers. Steven lives in Cambodia where he serves as CEO of Multiple Natures International and explores how ancient Eastern wisdom can help people (and their tigers) become more aligned.

Feed Your Tigers - Speaking With Stephen Rudolf

Jeff Cohen is an entrepreneur, author, business coach, writer and speaker. Jeff works with CEOs and small and midsize businesses that are interested in growing into the new culture we are seeing post-pandemic.



He talks to Pete about leadership, vulnerability and how we can all shift our mindset to create working environments where everyone feels valued and want to work.



 KEY TAKEAWAYS 


Post-pandemic people are re-assessing their lives and deciding what they really want. This means businesses have to start adapting and changing to continue to recruit good candidates.
Jeff’s life has been a contrast between great success and big failure. He has had to overcome a lot of knockbacks in his life.
When Jeff first ran his own business, he felt he had to be the most important person in the business. He now knows this was a huge mistake and ensures his clients don’t make the same problem for themselves.
Your children will model your behaviours, if you want them to spend time with you as teens and adults, invest your time with them when they are young.
Jeff advocates allowing your employees to not be accountable but instead “Account-on-able”, eliminating the restrictive nature of being accountable and instead being empowered and passionate about the work they do.
The number one thing is for people to have the confidence to say no. This confidence is filtered down to people from the leader.
You need to aim to align your people with the things they do best, this allows them to feel both valuable and valued.
As a leader, if you want to trust both ways, then you can’t just boss people around, you have to be vulnerable and show that vulnerability to your people too.





BEST MOMENTS  


“It’s ok for me to actually accept the love”



“It’s a shift in the mindset, it’s a shift in the way you operate”



“We hire people and we don’t know what their strengths are”

“You’ve Got to be Vulnerable and Let Your People Flourish” Speaking with Jeff Cohen

Stacy is the founder and CEO of journey fuel and a life transformationalist. She has been helping people transform their lives for over 20 years.

She joins Pete to talk about how she is on a mission to share her knowledge with as many people as she can, how she developed her unique set of skills and why she has such a passion for personal development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Fire in the belly to Stacy relates directly to fire in the soul and that we need fire in the soul to live our best life. Being able to feel like this life is about something you want to live and experience.
It was a decade ago when Stacy was burning out, this is when she realised, she needed to change things in her life, she just needed to figure out how.
There are often many more options available to us in life, to change things, it just requires open-mindedness and reflection.
If you are struggling to make decisions or feeling overwhelmed, Stacy advises you to think about how you feel right now and how you want to feel instead. This allows you to start evaluating options to get closer to what you want.
The more choices that we make in alignment with what matters to us, the more we attract what and who we want in our lives.
People go through life with a lot of ‘shoulds’. If you can start to change your ‘should do’ to wants instead it will help you have the motivation to change things.

BEST MOMENTS  

“Life’s a journey, enjoy the ride, but how do you enjoy the ride if you don’t have any fuel in your heart, in your soul”

“When you’re in that level of overwhelm, the idea of anything different, it can be paralysing” 

“Life is a collection of feelings”

“What resources do I have available to me that will help me learn something about myself?
