Today we are speaking with the
Life Coach and Author, Robert Pardi. Robert, born in NYC, is one of those rare
individuals who embrace change and live what he calls “possibility
in action”. He received his MBA from Columbia University and was
quickly recruited by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the
largest sovereign wealth funds. Shortly after, his wife Desiree,
was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. Unfortunately, she passed
11 years later. In 2014, throwing caution to the wind, Robert
leaped from his comfort zone. He changed careers and moved to
the same Italian village his great grandfather immigrated from over
100 years ago. He is now a certified life coach, adjunct
professor, international guest speaker, and the author of Chasing
Life - The remarkable true story of love, joy, and achievement
against all odds.
In
this episode we discuss:
1) Robert shares his thoughts on
our imperfections and how it relates to a mosaic or a kaleidoscope
and how our imperfections add character and depth to our
character.
2) The meaning we give to words like loss,
grief, joy, and how our perspective can shift the meaning of all of
it.
3)
Robert dives into the expectations, how we continue to push through
and not listen to or address what our body is dealing with.
His body forced him to slow down, stop, be hospitalized, and
actually grieve the loss of what he thought his life was supposed
to look like.
4) The role of caregiving and how it is a
challenging role, not one we are trained for, and the purpose is to
support someone with living the remainder of their life.
Caregiving is not fixing their health, it is supporting the family
member through this time.
