About madelyn Blair

 Thursday, June 1 
It's an Honor to...

If you’ve ever been impressed when you heard someone say, It’s an honor to introduce my friend and then talks about their strengths. Imagine being able to say, It’s an honor to introduce you to me and then talk about your own strengths!

Sometimes we become overwhelmed with the challenges and failures of our lives. It's time to learn how to use them as keys to understanding the strengths beneath them. In fact they are often the means of developing our strengths. 

 

Resilience begins with self-knowledge, but it really takes wing when you discover the deeper, stronger you. My guest, Indya Clark, a therapist, coach, and speaker, talks about how to heal from trauma and adversity and discover the deeper, stronger you.  Join me.

 

Indya Clark, has dedicated her life to helping others overcome adversity, trauma, and life detours. As a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience in handling trauma, PTSD, and life transitions, she has the knowledge and expertise to help people navigate the challenges they face in life.

What some of my guests have said...

“[Madelyn’s] deep and insightful questions allowed me to discuss topics in a multidimensional manner. As a result, we had a rich, interesting and very dynamic conversation. At the same time, Madelyn was kind, respectful, made me feel comfortable and welcomed." 

Miriam Zylberglait, MD

 

"It was such a delight to be in conversation with Madelyn. Her genuine interest in my work and the benefits it can bring, shows her to be utterly open to all possibilities in real terms and not just as a theory. She brought out the total best in me.”
