Summary

Join me every Monday for a quick burst of inspiration on our Live Inspired Podcast Monday Moments segment.

Today I welcome back three-time cancer survivor, author, speaker, and self-proclaimed expert in trauma Michele Cushatt. Michele shares her latest book Relentless and simple tips to respond to our circumstances in a more positive manner. This inspiring conversation will help start your week on fire!

Are we going to let our lives be bigger than our diagnosis, divorce, grief, or are we going to let it define us?
Choose how you respond to your circumstances: You can let your circumstances: Define you, derail you, or develop you.
Often we feel being “relentless” is something done to us; but what if we choose to be relentless in overcoming + moving forward?
“When I decide to reach out of my own pain and connect with somebody else’s, then we both experience redemption. We both experience healing. That’s beauty.”
"Healing happens in relationships. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation."
"Pain and suffering is a great leveler. There is no one immune from losses and grief."

Michele joined me for a full interview on Live Inspired Podcast ep. 132. She shared her story, how hope got her through struggles and how it will help you through yours, too. Listen here.

0:00.0	Hello, my friends, and welcome to Live Inspired Podcast with John O'Leary for this week's Monday moment.
0:14.2	We create these to help start your week on fire with a quick burst of inspiration.
0:19.7	On this episode, I want to spend just a couple minutes of
0:22.5	your time, your day, talking about being relentless. I think if you could ask yourself,
0:28.5	what would guide you for professionally, spiritually, relationally, in any endeavor that you
0:33.4	choose in your life, there may be no greater gift that you could pick up and run with today
0:37.4	than relentlessness. And to guide us into that conversation is actually one of my dear friends,
0:43.0	Michelle Kushad, Michelle joined us for episode 132 of the Live Inspired podcast. It is still one of our
0:50.5	most downloaded. It's one of our most favorite it. It's a phenomenal interview with a
0:54.6	phenomenal woman. And today, Michelle is going to talk a little bit about being relentless in your
0:58.7	own life. Michelle, welcome to live inspired with John O'Leary. Thank you, John. I always love
1:03.3	hanging out with you. I was looking forward to a second opportunity to hang out. This is the abbreviated
1:07.9	version, but I'm looking forward to the much fuller version. We can really unpack Relentless in your book by the same name.
1:14.4	When you hear the word relentless, what jumps off at you?
1:17.5	Well, it's one of two things.
1:18.9	Initially, the word relentless sounds like something negative, like relentless circumstances,
1:23.6	things that are relentless, like a toddler that asked a thousand questions before nine o'clock in the morning.
1:30.3	They're relentless with their curiosity, right? And I have had life circumstances over the last 25 years
1:37.0	that have literally been relentless. But relentless in that standpoint is passive, right? We just have to
1:44.0	sit back and receive whatever happens.
1:45.7	So my question is, what if we turned that around and we became relentless?
1:49.7	That means no matter what comes at us, we just keep fighting back.
