Episode 110: Cassie Nadeau "I will survive" The Power of Survival and Embracing Impermanence

”Inspire Us” with J. Paul Nadeau

Welcome to "Inspire Us," hosted by the motivational speaker and acclaimed author Jay Paul Nadeau. This episode opens with a touching performance from Nadeau's daughter, Cassie, who sings a poignant rendition of "I Will Survive." Using the song as a catalyst, Nadeau delves into an engaging discussion about impermanence and the courage it takes not only to let go of toxic relationships but also to face life's challenges head-on.

Nadeau reflects on his personal experiences and teachings from Buddha. He explores the concept of 'anika' or impermanence and how it relates to our relationships and everyday life. Alluding to the loss of loved ones and relationships gone awry, Nadeau echoes the Buddha's wisdom that "everything that has a beginning has an ending." He empowers his listeners to take control of their lives, accept the transient nature of attachments, and realize that our reactions and adaptations truly define us, rather than what happens to us.

Nadeau's gentle exhortation to live in the present, cherish relationships while they last, and be ready to let go when the time comes is deeply moving. A reminder that nothing is permanent, his message imparts the strength to turn despair into wisdom and liberation, echoing the sentiment of Cassie's song "I Will Survive."

Besides engaging in meaningful discourse, Nadeau also encourages listeners to support his talented daughter, Cassie, by subscribing to her music on various platforms.
