156. Whats Next When Disaster Strikes Your Family with Dr. David Phelps the author of “What’s Your Next?: The Blueprint for Creating Your Freedom Lifestyle”
Dr. David Phelps the author of “What’s Your Next?: The Blueprint for Creating Your Freedom Lifestyle” is Dr. Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 156 of the Beyond Adversity Podcast.
In an in-depth conversation, Dr. Phelps talks to Brad about what actions you can take when you are faced with profound adversity involving your family.
Dr. David Phelps owned and managed a private practice dental office for more than 21 years. While still in dental school, he began his investment in real estate by joint-venturing with his father on their first rental property in 1980. Three years later, they sold the property and David took His $25,000 capital gain share and leveraged it into 31 properties that later produced $15,000 monthly net cash flow.
Life was good, the sky was the limit –until the dark day that David’s daughter, Jenna, was diagnosed with Leukemia. In the midst of cancer treatments, epilepsy and ultimately a liver transplant for Jenna, David made the crucial decision to leave clinical practices so that he could spend every moment with his daughter.
David’s “Plan B” (a portfolio of cash-flow producing real estate assets) gave him the Freedom to focus 100% on what mattered most to him. Jenna won the battle with the disease, and David still enjoys the Freedom to cherish every moment with her that he can.
Today, David is a nationally recognized speaker on creating Freedom, building real businesses, and investing in real estate. He also combines his professional and personal experiences to illustrate how the tactical and aspirational work together. David helps other logical, rational professionals become dreamers, then strategically manifest those dreams into Freedom. He authors a monthly newsletter, “Path to Freedom” and hosts “The Dentist Freedom Blueprint” podcast. Freedom Founders Mastermind Community grows exponentially, year by year, providing the pathway to Freedom for many professionals.
David is the author of What’s Your Next: The Blueprint for Creating Your Freedom Lifestyle, along with two other books: The Apprentice Model: A Young Leader’s Guide to an Anti-Traditional Life and From High Income To High Net Worth for Dentists.

154. How to be Happy Through Meditation with Tamy Khan the “Happy Meditator”
In Episode 154 of the Beyond Adversity Podcast, Dr. Brad Miller talks with the “Happy Meditator” Tamy Khan
Tamy Khan is happiness, mindfulness, meditation coach, yoga teacher and founder of Happy Meditator found at happymeditor.com
Tamy helps people discover a calmer, more meaningful, and happier life that is more centered, grounded, and resilient. She does this with the help of mindfulness techniques, meditation & scientifically proven happiness strategies.
Tamy believes that anybody can create a life with less stress, anxiety, and better-balanced emotions.
Tamy worked for several years as a mental health therapist, there she encountered a lot of people who were unhappy and dissatisfied with their life. As a therapist, she was required to use traditional counseling practices to help them. However, she always felt that these techniques weren’t fully effective in helping people regain control of their lives. It often led to people become dependent on therapy and it would take a long time for them to be able to deal with their problems.
In her own personal life, she also experienced similar dissatisfaction just like many of the clients she worked with. Tamy started looking into non-traditional psychology and practices to improve her own sense of control and wellbeing. She decided to focus on positive psychology, mindfulness, and meditation. She started implementing these scientific-based practices in her own life and experienced positive results quickly.
Tamy knows how it feels to be unhappy and to lack any sense of direction in your life. But as she developed a better understanding of her own needs and learned to establish a positive mindset, she experienced a transformation from within. She began regaining a sense of balance, purpose, and wholeness in her life which inspired her to launch the Happy Meditator.
At happymediator.com Tamy shares her personal and professional experiences with others so they can experience what it feels like to live a mindful happy life. Helping others and teaching has always been a passion and a strong drive is what fills me with joy and gratitude.
The Happy Meditator is Tamy’s life dream of creating a place where people can get inspired and get help with creating the happy life that they want. She believes we all have the potential for happiness and having some guidance in the process can help things fall into place.
She works with people to remap their minds and grow the skills needed for a more mindful wholesome life.
In Episode 154 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast, she shares deeply her story to Dr. Brad Miller about the powerful transformations her happy mediator process can offer to the person who promises themselves to face their adverse life events and to navigate beyond them to a life of peace, prosperity, and purpose.
