Who Judges The Judge? Hosted By Jordana H. Goldlist
Jordana H. Goldlist spent her teens as a homeless, high school dropout; a junkie fully entrenched in street life by 17 years old. Today, she runs a boutique criminal law firm, owns property, invests in the market, and travels the world. She built the life she has today by recognizing and using skills she developed during the most trying times of her life, and she believes that some of the most successful people are those that find their strength through struggle and adversity. In “Who Judges The Judge?”, named after her TEDx Talk, Jordana invites listeners to explore the untold stories and unexpected backgrounds of her guests, all successful and productive individuals who have overcome adversity and the stigmas that society attaches to those of us who side step the status quo. From reformed criminals to the falsely accused, from former addicts to refugees escaping war and poverty, each episode will feature an individual who defies stereotypes and expectations and will navigate difficult conversations to highlight the personal journey of each guest.
Jordana’s unique perspective, grounded in her own tumultuous past but developed over a 15 year career in criminal justice, adds authenticity and depth to the conversation. Please join Jordana on “Who Judges The Judge?” a podcast that challenges both guests and listeners to question the way we judge ourselves, others, and the world at large.

Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe: From Struggle to Teaching Others How to Thrive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
DR. ROBYNE HANLEY-DAFOE is an educational behaviorist, bestselling author of I Hope So, and international speaker who teaches resilience and well-being.
She shares her journey from struggling with undiagnosed ADHD as a child to dropping out of high school, being institutionalized at 16, and surviving a near-death car accident—and how her mother's question "how do you want to feel?" instead of "what are your goals?" changed everything.
She explains:
◼ How undiagnosed ADHD in young girls can lead to rejection sensitivity, self-harm, and addiction
◼ The difference between hope and optimism—and why hope is what makes resilience possible
◼ Why high performers often succeed despite their habits, not because of them
◼ What "making yourself savable" means
◼ The cost of hopelessness in society today
