Episode 284-Resilience and Empowerment: Overcoming Physical Differences and Mentoring the Next Generation with Rahz Slaughter
Imagine growing up knowing that one leg is significantly shorter than the other, with no quadriceps or hamstring on your right side. Our guest shares the profound impact this physical difference had on their life, shaped by their grandmother's unwavering love and wisdom. They recount a crucial moment in childhood when a proposed surgery promised a semblance of normalcy but ultimately led to a lifelong brace. Through the heart-wrenching experiences of bullying and societal judgment, they found inner strength and resilience that became their guiding light. I also open up about my own journey with outer ear microtia, finding common ground in our shared experiences of moving beyond physical differences to discover our self-worth.
Rahz Slaughter, a passionate advocate for at-risk youth, joins us to share his transformative journey. After losing his gym business during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rahz redirected his focus to mentor young boys, teaching them the power of the mind. From a bullied child without a father figure to a successful trainer and author, Rahz's story is one of resilience and triumph. We delve into the critical role of mentoring youth in today's rapidly changing world, discussing the importance of instilling values, love, and dignity early on to shape a better future. Rahz's insights and personal stories are a beacon of hope for parents and mentors alike.
Parenting in the modern world comes with its own set of challenges and responsibilities. We discuss the need to break negative generational cycles and foster environments that nurture independence and self-expression. Highlighting the analogy of a bow and arrow, we emphasize the importance of guiding children up to a point and then allowing them to navigate the world on their own. Practical techniques for building confidence through positive communication and understanding love languages within the family are shared, offering actionable steps for parents. Our conversation with Rahz Slaughter culminates in insights on how to connect with him on social media, underscoring the value of mutual growth and understanding within families. Join us for an episode brimming with real, raw stories and empowering messages!
Welcome to the SJ Child Show, where a little bit of knowledge can turn fear into understanding. Enjoy the show. Hi and welcome to the SJ Child Show. Today I have a fantastic, exciting guest that we are going to have a really engaging conversation. You know, isn't it wonderful how serendipitous life can be when you're moving through and you have these things coming up in your life, around you and sometimes you just don't know how to either get out of it or how to ask for help, how to kind of get reality back in for people and and inspire and engages. And I'm so excited to have you here today. Thank you so much for coming.
Speaker 1:Thank you so much for being here and allowing me to come and be on your platform. I'm excited to be here. I think this is going to be an amazing conversation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know my audience is just. They're so, um, I think, and and hope, and, from what I see from their messages and stuff, just uplifting people that want to learn, want to, and, you know, help themselves, help those around them, and I think that's exactly the kind of conversation we're going to have today is how can you really harness that power within yourself and that power through your experiences to help shape your journey? And that's I mean, I'm just so excited, I feel like I have all of this information that I'm like I know what we're going to talk about. So, yeah, let's just get started at the beginning. Give us an introduction and tell us a little bit about yourself and what brought you here.
Speaker 1:Sure what brought me here? I guess my mom. I was born, you know. And then I woke up and here I was, on the show.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, it started. My journey started, you know, a pretty long time ago, but I, like this, started where I was born with my right leg shorter than the other. I have no quadriceps or hamstring on my right leg and it's a three and a half inch difference from my right and my left leg, so it's a physical dysfunction that has kind of shaped who I am today, my mindset and the goals that I've set for myself to impact and inspire others to just really embrace their unique abilities. And I give a lot of the credit to my grandmother, who had a second grade education, but she was the one that took me into her home at 12 years old and allowed me to see my own unique abilities and said you know what? God blessed you with this leg and you don't need to change it for anyone.
Speaker 1:And at that point I had just come off having a surgery where I was one of the first people in the States to have this special surgery and it had three different rings, pins that went through my knee and a crank. And it had three different rings, pins that went through my knee and a crank. And it was designed to straighten my leg because the doctor said he's going to make me normal, just like all the other kids. And that's what I wanted at that time and my mother believed it at that time because she wasn't well versed in, you know, surgical procedures and in orthopedics. And we went through the surgery for six months and at the end of it my leg was straight and I was like, wow, for the first time in my life my leg is straight. And I looked up at this doctor who was a you know, handsome six foot two man, and I said so what's next? And he says well, you're going to have the second phase of the surgery, which is the length in the leg. So now that you'd have both your legs equal size.
Speaker 1:And in my little naive self I said so how is it going to stay that way? And he looked down at me and said you're going to wear a brace for the rest of your life. And he said that very proudly. But I realized that I didn't come into the hospital with a brace and if I were going to live with a brace for the rest of my life, that wasn't going to make me normal, that wasn't going to make me like all the other kids. That was actually going to be another strike against me to make me stand out, and at that time I didn't want to. I'd already been taken the short bus, I'd already been bullied, I'd already had crutches for my entire life. I didn't want to have another challenge to deal with, and my grandmother just gave me the thumbs up and said you're going to be okay. And that's where, you know, the whole story ends.
Speaker 2:Love that. Grandmothers. Oh, I'm going to be a grandmother in a week. Can you believe it? A week Wow.
Speaker 2:You got me having all the feels over here, okay, fields over here, okay, thank you, thank you. Thank you to her for knowing that a person's value comes from within their heart and within the way they make relationships, the way they work with people in the world, not what their physical body can do for themselves and for others, which is ridiculous to even have to think. But you know, it's such the way our world is and what a way that we have to move through this world. I mean, I always have this strange sense of like I guess imposter syndrome, if you will, because I was also born with a physical difference, which is these little tiny ears, which is called outer ear microtia, which made me grow long hair my whole life and cover myself up and not want to be different. And I went I think I was 33 and pregnant in a grocery store and somebody yelled across the grocery store hey, there's little ears and it's just so discontent. You're just like, are you kidding me? Like haven't we gotten far enough in society that, like I can just be known as my name and not for the difference that you see in one of us?
Speaker 2:And I know that you know the length that people to to I don't know why to be that way, but I think that the strength that comes from the resilience that comes from realizing that those things aren't who. The people who matter most in my life, those are the things they love about me the most. You know, I have a husband of 20 years and he thinks that big ears look horrible on women. They just are the most ridiculous thing ever, and I mean that's just the sweetest thing that could ever be for me, because he's just acclimated for so long. So, you know, I think that we find those people that accept us for who we are and those are the people we keep in our lives and try not to, you know, let those other ones enter our perceptions of things.
Speaker 1:Absolutely A hundred percent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sorry, I just spent my podcast on my own podcast there Telling my story. No, you know so. When you, when did this kind of deciding that you were going to make it a career for yourself? When did that begin and what did that look like?
Speaker 1:So it goes a little bit. High school was tough for me, you know, just kind of navigating, and so I had to find something that really would help me have some self-esteem, some confidence. And I started working out at 14 and I started to lift weights and do pushups and just really get into my physical body because I felt like, if I had this disability, I was going to strengthen my body as best as possible so I could be resilient and strong throughout the process, and in doing so, I fell in love with fitness and I fell in love with being in the gym and I fell in love with inspiring people. People would always come to me wow, I can't believe you could do that many pull-ups or you're so strong. And before you knew it, I was a personal trainer and I started to really just work with a lot of different people, from athletes to actresses, and I was in New York at the time living, and then I went to Manhattan and started that part of my career and I just love coaching. And my style of fitness was not about reps and sets and lifting weights and losing weight. It was really about the six inches between your ears. It doesn't matter what the transformation you want to create. It starts with your intention and your thoughts. And when I figured that out, I was like, okay, I want to work with youth, that's, the at-risk youth and kids who are struggling. And then we have, you know, I went on to create a great career for many, many years almost 16 years and as a trainer.
Speaker 1:And then we hit COVID and I had to close my gyms. And I closed my gyms and I was sitting at home kind of going through my own little depression and saying, hey, whoa, whoa me, I can't believe this happened. I lost my business. And my wife says, take a couple of weeks. And I want you to just redirect Focus on what it is that you would have wanted to do if you didn't have the gyms, if you didn't start that process.
Speaker 1:And it went right back to, wow, that little kid named Roz who was getting bullied and getting picked on. I wish I would have been able to have somebody to tell me hey, here are the secrets to understanding yourself, to understanding how to become successful utilizing the power of your mind. And it was a book that I needed to read at 13, because I didn't have a father, I didn't have a role model, I didn't have anybody in my life that was willing to say hey, you know what, roz, here is the path you take to success. Here's how you go from a boy to a man and I know there are a lot of young boys out there that are struggling with not having a mentor, not having a father and I wrote the book, and that's a long story short. Three and a half years Now I've been just dedicated to making an impact and inspiring and motivating youth.
Speaker 2:I love that and youth are, so it's such like a wonderful place to put your intentions and work into.
Speaker 2:I believe that the earlier we teach children how to foster a love for one another and human and dignity, the easier the path will be for all of them to bound together and realize that we all should have each other's backs as humans and not be so divisive and and uh, you know that doesn't, social media doesn't help.
Speaker 2:But I love that you're starting with the youth, because that is our future of our world and our society and communities, and I think that's where all the focus should really go, because even today, in our era, you know, we're there now getting so much more information at such higher speeds than we could even perceive as adults that we are, because we never received that kind of information as fast as they did. They're way ahead of us and a lot of us as adults can't step into that mindset, can't believe, can't imagine that these young kids, as early as you know 10, 8, 9, 10, 12, like they're. They are so smart and because their processing speeds are enormously different than ours, and I think that that when we have strong individuals that are able to say you know, your value comes from these things like reassess your values. These are what the things you should live by. That's where kids can decide where and who and how they're going to spend their time, and it's so important. And even just as a mom, do you have kids yourself?
Speaker 1:I do. We have. I have two step boys, 20 and 24. I came into their lives at nine and 12.
Speaker 2:You look a little too young for those two ages Mine's 24 as well. I just said I'm going to be a grandma.
Speaker 2:My step daughter's 24 as well.
Speaker 2:So I get that and I feel like, and I have a 10, or, excuse me, a 12 and a 14 year old and I feel like, oh, I've been in this parenting game for quite a long time here and it's so different this time around with this third and bright, you know, child with autism, and it's different.
Speaker 2:It's a different sense of kind of guidance and it's different than the world was even a decade, 15 years ago, raising a child in that same, you know, grade level, if you will. Everything is so different and it's like I feel like I'm just every day teaching myself new ways to do it. It's like a constant making, my own manual making, you know, creating all of these things, because these things haven't ever existed, and I'm having to pave the way of my own, you know, pioneering, if you will, of my own parenting styles. But I love that there's people like you out there like rallying these kids, and I watched your video, like I said, right before we were coming on, and I mean I was like getting you know, getting excited, and I'm like moving around in my chair and I could just tell like how much in, how energetic and how impactful those types of speaking events are for you. Tell us a little bit about that, how that got started for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've always wanted to be a speaker and one of my mentors is the great Tony Robbins, so I got to spend some time around Tony and taking his courses and going through. So I just wanted to be that conduit for youth that you know and and share. Stories were real raw and Roz with them where it was. Sometimes you get these motivational speakers and I don't call myself, that is just an easy title to understand, but I'm someone who shares stories and then practical, actionable steps that they can take in order to utilize what I'm sharing with them in the moment, in the present moment, to change how they think, to change their belief systems, their attitude, their self-talk, so that whatever they decide they want to create they can.
Speaker 1:And some of the clients that I get to work with are kids with autism, are kids that have struggled. They're a little bit different and I love to say, hey, you know what we're all different, but get people, get to see our differences, they get to experience our differences. A lot of people are holding theirs in and they look normal, but they're not. We're all different. And when you get a kid to have that clarity and then can build that self-concept, it's amazing what they can do and I know what you you, I know you can relate because you're doing it like you. You said you're pioneering and that is what we need to champion more proactive parents to embrace their children as they are not how they wish they were and not to be worried about what norms are or what milestones markers they're reaching or what grades they're getting, but really just to say, hey, I love you and you can do and be anything you want.
Speaker 2:I love that, right, when you were saying that, this quote that I just saw this morning or yesterday popped into my head and it was like if a flower's not growing, you change the environment, not the flower, and I love that. Isn't that the truth, right? You don't change a plant's anatomy because it's not growing properly. You put it in a new pot, you put it in the sun, you take away the sun, you do whatever you need to do, you use that special app that shows you what the lamp looks like, right? And then, yeah, exactly, and then you can make your plants healthy.
Speaker 2:But it's so much the same, and I think that as a third I'm going to call myself a third time parent here that is something that maybe I hadn't didn't have sight of and didn't know, and didn't have those perceptions of that first time around 24 years or, you know, 20 years ago. But, moving forward, how much I've learned since then and the style that I want to raise my children in is, I hope, something that they take with them. Raise their children this way instead of you know, and of course, they'll have to morph it to whatever's best for them and their lifestyle, but I hope that it's something that is taken generationally like. When you break that generational like abuse pattern, I hope that it continues in a good pattern Like is that a possibility? Is it a possibility to break the pattern and then restart a whole new like trend? If you will, in your, in your family's light, and so I hope that's something that's possible, if you will, in your family's light, and so I hope that's something that's possible.
Speaker 1:I definitely. I think it absolutely is. It's if I didn't, I couldn't do what I do. I believe that we all have and I don't blame any parent. When you first go at it you really didn't know. They don't come with a program book or a playbook or a manual, right. You just kind of learn. And who do we learn from? Book or a manual, right? You just kind of learn. And who do we learn from?
Speaker 1:We take the programming from our parents, parents, parents and if we don't decide to break that cycle, as you said, then we're going to be. I mean, I know I had to in my house because I came from a family that were yellers and they would just scream and they believe that authority came from tonality. And I was like I don't want to to be that. I don't want my kids to fear me because of the tonality. I want to be able to set expectations and say, hey, let's have a conversation. I mean we agreed on this and I tell parents all the time, hey, we set the frame for how our children will decide to do things and if they're either going to fall in line or they're going to fall out of line, but either way, it's on us to correct it and be open minded to why.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. And then you know, as you and I both well know, it's very likened to a bow and arrow that you are the bow and they are the arrow, and once you release them out to the world, at 18 or whatever age, they go, that direction that they take is their own and you can no longer take responsibility or have it fall back on you. I think you have to realize this is there, that you know. There's only so much trajectory that you can change once the arrow is let out of the bow basically, the arrows let out of the bow, basically. And so I think that that's so important, but hard for for that, those years of transition in into that adulthood stage.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean I, we have to. I, I'm sure you, cause you already have. I have a 20 and a 24, so I don't feel like I'm responsible for them anymore. I have gotten them to that level. I want them to thrive. But I know that and I tell my wife this all the time these boys have to fall down, and when they fall down we cannot go and pick them up. They got to dust themselves off, figure out what size bandaid to put on and keep it moving, because if we keep doing that, we're actually not allowing them to grow, we're not allowing them to evolve into the men that they need to become for their families, and it's so essential to not do that today and a lot of parents I see they still kind of think that, oh, they're a reflection of them. It's not. You did your job. Release and let them go and become their own person.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and I think that we had a separation where we were disconnected for a long time with our oldest and we had to come to that conclusion that this wasn't our fault that this ended.
Speaker 2:This wasn't our decision.
Speaker 2:We're still putting in all the effort, like, if it's not being reciprocated, that's not our like duty to you know, feel responsible for anymore, but it's also you have to take a step back, like you're doing, and realize okay, well, there's two other youths, young ones here that need all of the attention, that need all of the direction, all of the you know support, and you know support can show up in so many different ways and I think it's important to kind of create that relationship with your kid where they maybe know your love language and then maybe they can learn about theirs, so that you can have this reciprocal relationship with one another.
Speaker 2:I think I've I've tried to tell that to my child like I love acts of service and I do like I'm the mom that brings everybody food on a plate everywhere I go, ever, all the you know, all the time, all this, here you go, here you go. And so I tell her like this is how I show you I love you and I tell her all the time, but if there's ever a question, oh wait, my mom bought me 365 sandwiches in a year.
Speaker 1:You know what I?
Speaker 2:mean. So I'm pretty sure. Yeah, she showed me in every way. What kind of like ways do you tell kids to show up for themselves and for others? How do you kind of make that conversation start with them?
Speaker 1:Great question. So I always like to let them know that it starts with three Cs Clarity you can't show up authentically in yourself if you're not clear in who you are. So you really need to know what are your strengths, what are your limitations, because we all have them and if you wind up and we don't realize, default by default we will focus on our limitations, because that's what society tells us. Focus on the things you're not good at. I want you to focus on the things you're good at, because that's going to build your confidence, that's going to build your ideal self right. And then we got to go communication.
Speaker 1:What is that dialogue that you're having with yourself? Is it disempowering thoughts that you're repeating over and over every day? I'm not good at math, I'm not really pretty, I'm not tall as him I'm not. If we don't change those statements consistently, it's like playing a record. Over and over we start to actually hear that song and manifest and it manifests in who we are. So we wonder why we have kids that are bullying. We wonder why we have people who are mean and they don't show up and smile and say hi and shake your hand and things. It's because they don't have the programming going.
Speaker 1:And the last C is the confidence. And if you want to teach a child how to be confident, first and foremost as a parent, you have to be proactive and intentional about your confidence. And confidence doesn't mean that you're arrogant, it just means that you show up and you bring people sandwiches and you smile at people and you hold doors and you say hello, because that is energy and we're human and we're all transferring that energy. So if a kid wants to show up, and as a parent, if you're listening or I always say, let's lead from the front, let's be the example, you know. And if we're that example, our kids are watching us, they're listening to us. Anything you tell your kid to do, if you haven't done it, they're not going to hear you, and that's essential.
Speaker 1:So when kids are struggling, I say let's work on who you are. What do you like about yourself? What do you know? That is a superpower for you. And when you get that kid to say, well, I'm really good at playing Minecraft or I'm really good at creating videos, I love drawing. And then you say, oh, that's amazing. Why don't you tell me a little bit more about that? What inspires you to draw? And then you see them lighten up because we're telling them that they're not all of these things. You're not going to the NBA, you're not going to be an astronaut, you're not. So why should they feel good about themselves if that's what they're hearing every single day? So the first thing is just really working on those strengths.
Speaker 2:I love that. The three C's, I completely agree Clarity, communication and confidence. I love it. I think that that's so important. I hope that I am instilling those in at least one of my kiddos. The other one, I think, has a little different life journey on ahead of him.
Speaker 2:But I think that it's so important that we especially show up for our kids as good examples in the world. And you know that kind of it's so good and interesting to say as well. It goes right back to kind of the bow and arrow thing too. It doesn't matter how good or wonder it does, it matters. But it also your child doesn't have to show up like you. That is so important to hear and understand. Because, guess what, I have a child who's quiet and reserved and not bubbly and energetic and everything and and does that make them like less of a wonderful person? Absolutely not. Like that's their choice of their. You know kind of how they feel moving through the world.
Speaker 2:And, um, I think that when we realize, like I had said earlier, that the people that really love you and support you love you for those things that you find weird about yourself or love you for the things that you might hate about yourself and self-talk, you know, and those things.
Speaker 2:So practice maybe when you have those thoughts in your mind, to sing some song lyrics or think about things you're grateful for instead and really switch your thoughts and your mindset in that moment to give you that up and give you that edge, to kind of you know, and I think that the more we talk to our kids about our own, like I'm going through something where I'm doing just that, obviously that's why I'm bringing it up, because every time I am having like these conversations in my head that are imaginary number one may never happen with anyone or the person intended I don't feel good about it afterwards and I've been thinking how can I make myself feel good in those moments when I catch myself having these weird conversations?
Speaker 2:Well, I'm going to sing a song or I'm going to think about things I'm grateful for. I'm going to think about a healthy choice I can make next and I it's a training process, right, it's just like training, physical training, like you're mentally training. You're intentionally tracking your thoughts, if you will, to help better align yourself and not get caught up in this. It feels like sledge or like you know. It just like pulls you in and draws you into these places, and then I personally just don't feel good after that.
Speaker 1:No, I hear we. I would love to say that I'm always motivated and fired up, but one of the things that I teach a lot of my parents as well as teens, is having a power move, and a power move allows you to shift your state instantly. So because you're so used to using that in an empowered state of mind and for me, you attach it to a word or a movement I won't do it because I don't want to break the mic, but I do scream it and of course it's across my chest. Boom is my word that I add with a movement Boom. And I teach kids. One of them is yes as well.
Speaker 1:A lot of kids go yes, yes, right before they have to take a test to get their energy change, their physical physiology. It's so easy to do and we can all do it. All we have to do is stand up and feel that energy change. Because if you want to change and go from stinking thinking to positive thinking, the easiest way is to change your physical body first. If you sit down, lay down, we're going to stay in that lull, sludge, move mindset that you shared, and it's so easy to do if we just start practicing it and for the listeners. Give it a shot. Create your own power. Move with a word. Make it happen and let us know how it works out for you.
Speaker 2:I love that. I'm going to try a word. I think that's a really exciting thing. I, I, yeah, I really like that. That's a great way to to measure, I guess that how many times are you using this word in your mind?
Speaker 2:I like to be able to, to measure those things as well so that you can see, because then you can step back and be like wow, you know, when I was, uh, you had mentioned about coming from a household of yellers and that that was certainly the case for me. Bless my dad's heart. He's a major general in the Air Force and it was always, just like always high tones of everything. So when I went into parenting, I literally thought that's the way that I had to discipline, that's the way to get things done, that's the way people listen, right? Oh boy, and it wasn't until I had this non-speaking child who could not communicate. I could not yell, it had no effect. It only made me look and feel horrible that I recognized this and thought, oh my gosh, so kind of the same way I said to myself every time I yell, I'm going to yell, I'm going to yell right now.
Speaker 2:And then, soon enough, it got to sound so ridiculous coming out of my mouth that I was just like okay, I'm over this, and I mean that was a decade or more ago, 15 years at least ago, and so long ago that I'm so happy to say that I don't even remember what that person was like, really Like I don't know how. I lived my life that way for so many years. I don't even remember what that feels like and I wouldn't want to go back there either, right.
Speaker 2:Absolutely not these little tests we have to give ourselves, the universe gives us, or whoever you believe that is your higher power of support, and just being able to just understand that really that power ultimately comes from within yourself. And how to settle with yourself and find that like because nobody else is going to yell your special word for you, you have to do it yourself. You've got to take accountability and responsibility for that. To change that, absolutely.
Speaker 1:You got to put your mask on first before you can help anyone else yes, yes, 100%.
Speaker 2:It's so fun talking to you. I mean, we already knew it was going to be a great conversation. So what's new? What's coming up? Anything exciting in the pipeline?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I'm always I'm a creative person, so I'm always setting goals to really kind of focus on the mission. The mission is to inspire and motivate 1 million teens to master to six inches between their ears. So in doing so, I started a empowered parenting masterclass I'm going to be doing every twice a month really just to empower parents to really step into their own unique parenting style and figure out their own parenting journey so that they don't have to conform, they don't have to accept what other people believe is their norms and they really can have the opportunity to really embrace parenting their unique child. And that's what I'm excited for throughout the summer. And just really speaking as much as possible on resilience and on just anger management all of the topics that really get me all jazzed up and and I love studying and learning about.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, I agree and I'm really excited to follow your journey. And maybe you know, if you ever come through Salt Lake City, utah, we can, you know, say hello and and talk about how much we've grown since we've seen each other last.
