MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! What better way to celebrate Christmas than to release an episode about LOVE!!! Ben Higgins was America's Bachelor when he appeared on the TWENTIETH SEASON. Ben is also the founder of Generous Coffee, now his launching a new book called 'Alone in Plain Sight' You can get your copy here.  The story of how Jessica and Ben met is something you need to listen too for yourself!! How they have been able to establish a relationship based around love, kindness and fulfilment will certainly leave many listeners in awe. You will get to listen to Jessica's story first then Ben's. In Alone in Plain Sight, Higgins shares Ben's perspective as a fellow sojourner on the journey to find connection and meaning. Examining the questions he has wrestled with personally, he invites us to realize that the measure of how connected we are with ourselves is how connected we are with others; discover why connection with others is essential and how shared pain can bridge even the widest gaps between two very different people; deconstruct the fairy-tale view of love that culture advertises and address the lie that being single is a disease that needs to be cured; and understand that the God who seeks connection is the answer to the deep yearning we have to connect to something bigger than ourselves.Follow Ben and Jessica on Social Media Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jessclarke_/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/higgins.ben/?hl=enFollow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcastFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125781678801513YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXHMRPxW0qoxV8kKjaFdYwWebsite - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thestorybox.

Josh Perry was born and raised in Cape Cod, MA. His father bought him his first BMX bike when he was just a kid and it almost immediately consumed his life. Josh worked tirelessly at perfecting his craft while his mother drove him all over the country for camps, sessions and competitions. At 17 years old Josh was given an opportunity to train with the best of the best, and though it was thousands of miles from home and he had not yet graduated high school, he didn't think twice and moved to Greenville, NC. Josh moved up to the professional level of competition quickly and was riding Dew Tours, X-Games and competing internationally at the highest possible level.​Josh felt as if everything he had been working for his entire life, and everything he had dreamed about was playing out in front of his eyes. He was only 21 years old and felt like he had everything. But, after a nasty crash, his life was threatened. Josh had hit his head and went to local urgent care to make sure something more serious wasn't happening. He had no damage from the crash, but there was a brain tumour taking up the left half of his brain. Immediate surgical removal was necessary. Josh came out okay and defied all odds by getting back on his bike only five weeks later.That was in 2010. Now, almost a decade later Josh's life has shifted in some wonderful and very unexpected ways. After two more brain tumour diagnosis, he began researching health and nutrition. He was determined to prioritize his health and take the longevity of his life and the vitality of his brain into his own hands. Josh became certified through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as a health coach, became certified through Ketogenic.com as a Keto Specialist, read countless research articles, stacks of books and communicated with every expert he could.All of Josh's research led him to cultivate a life where consciousness, love, health and happiness are his first priority. He takes full responsibility for his mental and physical state of being and he feels like a healthier, happier and more productive individual because he prioritizes his brain health. Josh's goal is to share the knowledge that he has gained with anyone who is ready to CHANGE! He wants the world to know how good they can feel by prioritizing their well being and making simple changes. He will do this continuously and tirelessly through supporting others to become empowered to consciously design their lives by optimizing their health and performance as well as public speaking, his podcast, and any content he creates.Josh's goal in life is to impact the world the most positive way and leave it better, stronger and healthier than when he came into it.Follow Josh on Social Media Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joshperrybmx/?hl=enFollow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcastFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125781678801513YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXHMRPxW0qoxV8kKjaFdYwWebsite - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thestorybox.

Najwa Zebian is a Lebanese-Canadian activist, author, speaker, and educator. Her passion for language was evident from a young age, as she delved into Arabic poetry and novels. The search for a home—what Najwa describes as a place where the soul and heart feel at peace—was central to her early years. When she arrived in Canada at the age of sixteen, she felt unstable and adrift in an unfamiliar place. Nevertheless, she completed her education and went on to become a teacher as well as a doctoral candidate in educational leadership. Her first students, a group of young refugees, led her back to her original passion: writing. She began to heal her sixteen-year-old self by writing to heal her students. Since self-publishing her first collection of poetry and prose in 2016, Najwa has become an inspiration to millions of people worldwide. Najwa has become a trailblazing voice for women everywhere and was name-dropped by the New York Times and CBS News, among others. She has also creatively collaborated with Google, RBC, Kohls and Cirque du Soleil. Drawing on her own experiences of displacement, discrimination, and abuse, Najwa uses her words to encourage others to build a home within themselves; to live, love, and create fearlessly.Follow Najwa on Social media Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/najwazebian/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/najwazebian1Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcastFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125781678801513YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXHMRPxW0qoxV8kKjaFdYwWebsite - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/Subscribe for more!This episode is sponsored by THICC Cookies and MyMateDave Cold Brew CoffeeFor 20% off THICC cookies visit https://biggandthicc.com.au/ and at the checkout use discount code "storybox" to order yours today.

"I’m Alexi Panos, and I am an artist of life. Some would label me an Impact Entrepreneur, others would say I’m a Thought Leader, Author or Speaker, and most would say I’m a BOSS MAMA to the cutest twins and a toddler (3 under 3)…but I believe it is all just amazing forms of ART. Through my art, I am insanely committed to empowering others to activate and own their greatness and live a life they are completely OBSESSED with. I am on a mission to reinvent “personal development” into what my hubby and I call the EMERGENT WISDOM MOVEMENT–creating a container of transformational work that elicits remembrance of what we’ve always known…and who we’ve always known we are."Follow Alexi on Social Media Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alexipanos/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcastFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125781678801513YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXHMRPxW0qoxV8kKjaFdYwWebsite - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/This episode is Sponsored by Danette May's superfood blend Cocao Bliss.
