For this episode, we have Barbara Belger. 2020 was a big year for Barbara: She turned 60, published her (first) book co-authored with 16 other "little old ladies", and became a grandmother.

She started a new program called Living from the Heart and is currently re-working due to need for adapting the original plan with the current times.

Barbara grew up in Germany. She spent a year in France at the age of 16 as an au-pair, finished High school, went on to study languages, and then worked as a translator/commercial foreign correspondent in large multi-national companies in Germany until age 30. She got married, moved to Japan, had two sons, and spent 17 years in Japan, Thailand, Mainland China, and Hong Kong.

Then Barbara moved to New Zealand with her sons and the family dog after she got divorced. She had begun training for her new career in 2003, opened her first coaching business in Hong Kong in 2005, and set up her company "Walk Your Talk" in New Zealand after moving there in 2007.

2010 / 2011 were Christchurch earthquake years, and Barbara provided trauma recovery support under a government contract. 2012 and 2013 was her caravan journey through New Zealand, and she ended up at the other end of the country. By then, she had become more active in volunteering, leading social change groups such as guerrilla gardeners, anti-plastic campaigns (sewing bags), various activities with the local Transition Town team: a visionary and idea seeder.

Her passions are trauma and everything related to the "big T's" and "small T's", the evolution of our individual and collective consciousness, and new leadership models.

Barbara's training background is life coaching, hypnotherapy, NLP, mental health & addiction, energy psychology, and organisational psychology. She got trained and became a trainer in a modality - Meta Medicine and is currently working part-time as a Health Consultant alongside naturopaths in a Health Store where she also sees her coaching clients.
