Guest: JAMES SWEIGERT; and Musical Guest: DAVE KIM
JAMES SWEIGERT
James Sweigert is not only an author and motivational speaker, he’s a successful executive producer and director for film and television. Over the past 25 years he has built, run, and sold several multimillion-dollar, award-winning production companies. During the same time, he mentored and coached celebrities, rockstars, and movie executives. The successes in his life were hard-fought; nothing came easy until he changed his story.
The youngest of seven, James struggled to be seen and stay safe. He began to be molested at the age of 7. To cope with the chaos and abuse he turned to drugs and alcohol, which led to severe depression and a suicide attempt at the age of 25. This self-destructive pattern continued until he changed his story – and his life.
James has not only survived addiction, depression, homelessness, suicide, and molestation, he has triumphed. He is a storyteller who was able to understand that how he was telling his own story and the power behind his words could shape his life. He is teaching others the same through his work as a mentor, motivational speaker and “Life Cheerleader.”
James currently lives in Beverly Hills, California with a loving partner, a close community, and an incredible dog, with the ultimate purpose to help others change their stories to transform their lives.

I had received more bad news from my doctor and struggling already w the endless pain that never gives me a break to just breathe wout crying. Sat. I was looking at my dogs face and thinking who could I leave him to that would love him and my other four dogs. Who would not seperate them or leave them in a shelter? I so desperately want to leave and go to sleep and never wake up to another day of suffering with the constant pain in my back, hips, and legs. And then there is the loneliness and the pain of knowing I have noone but my dogs and I know this will never change because after failed relationships, a marriage, and something I never ever thought would happen but a failed relationship w both of my grown children….Who I kno cant wait for me to die so they can sell my house and land for their interest. Just typing that hurts beyond any words to possibly describe. But, scrolling through Facebook I saw a post for a book…..Ifyousayso. So I left a quick comment and tagged a couple of my girlfriends who I thought would like what I saw. Then by the Grace of God the Author or maybe someone who works for him sent me I think its 5 steps to start applying to my life daily. My naturally negetive programmed mind automatically thought ugggg, ok, maybe for someone else but my pain goes to deep and this uppity successful person doesnt know what im going through. BUT, as I read these very thoughtful and in my gut steps something clicked. So I pray to God these steps do work and this constant urging to die so the pain will stop….they just might slow down or go away. Because I know my dogs need me as I do them and maybe I will find a way to allow humans back into my life. Thank you for giving us this book and exposing us people like me to good souls like the Author. ❤
