Deidre Marinelli Episode S01 EPS 236

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Deidre Marinelli. Born and raised in Simcoe, Ontario.  Youngest of 3.  My mother raised the 3 of us while working full time as a nurse.  Strongest woman I know. Despite her own emotional struggles from the divorce she showed up every single day for us and never missed a beat. Looking back now I realize how difficult some days must have been but she never let it impact us.  Not only was she an awesome mom to us 3 but she was always giving her time and cooking for the church and community. I just assumed this was normal and didn’t think much of it at the time.  I knew she was the best mom but I didn’t realize her independence, strength and courage until much later in life. I went through a pretty messy divorce when my daughter was 3 and this is when I realized I was raised by a super hero! I had a long 10 year battle in family court – which felt like a lifetime. I was thankful I was raised by such a strong independent woman because I now had to be strong for my daughter.  I had a great role model growing up. I got through it but this is when life gave me a serious wakeup call.  Shit got real. I had to learn how to manage stress and tap into my personal resilience and be very aware of how to balance my mind and emotions to be the best possible version of me. This does not define me but has contributed to my personal grow immensely. In this episode we discuss media, marketing, brand relationships, Empathy Brand Inc., charity, gratitude, courage and life lessons.
