Positive Solutions 4 Life-Transforming Your Mind & Body from the Inside Out

In this episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer speaks directly to the pressure-filled season so many of us are experiencing—and offers a powerful reminder: peace is still available, and it’s not too late to choose it. Between family gatherings, travel, school activities, holiday preparations, volunteering, and end-of-year expectations, this season can quietly steal our joy.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to: Recognize where overwhelm and stress are really coming from Shift your focus from “getting it all done” to how you want to feel Check in with your body, mind, heart, and soul Release unrealistic holiday expectations Ask for help, slow down, and refill your own cup Remember the true reason for the season and reconnect with peace This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and give yourself permission to choose peace over pressure—one intentional moment at a time. ✨ It’s not too late to take the rest of the year back.

In today’s powerful and heartfelt episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer sits down with Ron Souers, whose journey from homelessness and addiction to faith-filled purpose and mental health advocacy will inspire and encourage anyone navigating life’s hardest battles. Ron opens up about waking up homeless on the National Mall, breaking free from addiction through Narcotics Anonymous, rediscovering his ADHD, and learning to ask for help.

Together, we explore: 💡 Key Topics Ron’s raw and honest journey from addiction to six years clean How ADHD nearly cost him jobs—and ultimately became his purpose Why “asking for help” is one of the greatest forms of strength The difference between niceness (surface-level) and true kindness (rooted in boundaries and love) Why so many breakthroughs happen for men after age 40 How God uses our mistakes, pain, and detours for growth Fulfillment vs. achievement—and how Ron learned to find joy in the process Turning spiritual longing into a real relationship with God How fierce kindness transformed Ron’s relationships and coaching approach 🎁 Free Gift from Ron Get Ron’s brand new free resource:“Master the Moment” – a short 3-minute video teaching the 3 keys to owning your presence and connecting deeply in conversations.👉 Available at yourADHDguy.com 🎙 Connect with Ron Podcast: Your ADHD Guy https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-souers-9162b1a0/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085316747632 https://www.instagram.com/ronnyreel/ https://www.youtube.com/@YourADHDGuy   📌 Connect with Peggy & Positive Solutions 4 Life Website: https://positivesolutions4life.com

In this powerful episode, Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her extraordinary journey from sudden disability to becoming one of the leading patient-researchers on POTS and invisible illnesses. After contracting a virus on a mission trip, her life changed overnight—hallucinations, heart rate issues, digestive shutdown, insomnia, tremors, and countless symptoms that left her bedridden. With little help from the medical system and even being told POTS patients are “perfectly healthy,” she decided to search for answers herself. What followed was a decade-long research journey—leading to new genetic insights, biomarkers, and five medical patents. Dr. Driscoll explains why many “invisible illnesses” aren’t invisible at all—we’re simply not measuring the right things. She helps patients uncover the real causes behind autonomic nervous system dysfunction and chronic inflammation, often leading to full recovery. This conversation offers science, hope, and empowerment—not just for those with POTS or chronic illness but for anyone wanting to live a healthier, more purposeful, and more resilient life. 🔑 Key Topics We Discuss: The virus that triggered Dr. Driscoll’s sudden disability What POTS really is—and why it’s so misunderstood Why inflammation and oxidative stress are at the root of many “invisible” illnesses The groundbreaking eye research that helped identify POTS clues Using genetics and biomarkers to find REAL answers How she developed patented supplements to support autonomic nervous system function Steps anyone can take to stay healthier as they age Why purpose—not pleasure—is the real foundation of happiness How hope and humor protect the mind during hard seasons What to do when people tell you “you can’t” The signs you're actually onto something big when naysayers appear 💡 Key Takeaways: Invisible illnesses are often measurable — we just need the right tests. Chronic inflammation plays a huge role in POTS and many other conditions. Health foundations like movement, nutrition, nervous system support, and reducing oxidative stress matter for everyone. Hope is not optional — it’s chemistry. Purpose is the cornerstone of long-term happiness. You are capable of more than people think — and more than you think. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Diana Driscoll POTSCare: https://potstcare.com Vagus Nerve Support & Supplements: https://vagusnervesupport.com Books, research, and more available on her sites. 🔗 Connect with Peggy Meyer Website: https://positivesolutions4life.com

In today’s episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy breaks down Matthew Kelly’s powerful book Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy — a message that cuts through our cultural obsession with “hustle,” overcommitment, productivity pressure, and the myth of time management. This episode challenges the belief that more efficiency or better scheduling is the key to a fulfilled life. Instead, Kelly offers a transformational truth: Joy comes from slowing down.Not from doing less — but from living more. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✔️ Why the “jar of life” metaphor is flawed — and how it tricks us into believing we can fit in everything✔️ The hidden cost of hurry: your joy, your health, your relationships, your soul✔️ What “the speed of joy” really means — and why it isn’t slow or lazy✔️ How Jesus modeled a life of presence, margin, and holy interruptions✔️ Why we need margin — and the consequences of living at our breaking point✔️ The one powerful practice that can transform your entire week: taking back your Sundays✔️ The difference between wanting more… and wanting the right things✔️ How gratitude creates contentment and restores spiritual balance✔️ Practical steps for living your life at the speed God designed Key Takeaways Busy is not a badge of honor — it’s a thief of joy. Joy has a speed — and it’s human, not hurried. Sabbath is a rhythm of rest that realigns your life with God and your soul. Margin = breathing room = the space where love, wisdom, and clarity grow. Contentment is enough + gratitude. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to flourish.
