Sarasota, FL - Sally Gabriel runs Epilogue End of Life Care, her company that provides end-of-life doula and grief coaching services.In her radio show, Sally will explain what an end-of-life Doula does. While formalized programs to train death doulas began in the early 2000s, the practice goes back ages. Dying in the comfort of your own home, with the care and support of loved ones, is more traditional than our modern and impersonal practice of dying in hospitals and nursing homes. And, while most people have heard of birth doulas, who help to bring a life into this world, they may not have heard of death doulas, who attend people at the end of their lives.While Sally is not a lawyer, she does make sure that people have certain legal documents prepared and filed, along with their advance directive. Sally offers 8 specific services that are outlined on her website. Working with clients is a custom process; not all families will utilize all of these diverse services“It is important when people can no longer speak or make decisions with a clear mind that they have someone to make those decision for them. This person is called their ‘health care surrogate’ or their ‘medical power of attorney’.Sally invites people to explore what it means to have support through grief and life’s final chapter She advises that as you contemplate the end of your life, consider what it might be like to have a dedicated companion to guide you and your loved ones through the journey. Sally assures us that people’s wishes for a dignified and comfortable experience will be honored.For more information about Sally and her work, please visit www.epiloguecare.com

He has accomplished this by serving as a teacher, supervisor, an educational consultant, and as an author of several books related to mathematics education. “In my working with teachers as a consultant, I try to become part of the school community to advance the learning of mathematics on the part of children,” summarizes Frank.“Students come first, mathematics come second,” asserts Frank.At Hunter College, Frank has a program called the Elementary Mathematics Specialist Program. With this program, elementary teachers study mathematics and how it is effectively taught.Frank identifies one of the main concerns regarding the education of mathematics the top-down approach that is often utilized, especially with national standards and national curriculums.

Westlake Village, CA - The Glass Arts Collective, founded by Nancy Dillingham Marks, is a new glass art studio promising to enrich the vibrant landscape of artistic expression for beginners, glass enthusiasts, and professional artists. Nestled in the heart of the Conejo Valley, this niche studio specializes in fused glass—a unique category of glass art known for its warmth and versatility.“Glass art is far more than a craft; it’s an invitation to explore creativity in the middle ground between the fiery intensity of hot glass and the serene sturdiness of stained glass,” says Dillingham Marks.Fused glass, considered “warm glass,” occupies a middle ground between the high-temperature processed hot glass/glass blowing and the unheated crafting of cold glass/stained glass. This medium emerged around 50 years ago thanks to innovative engineers at Bullseye Glass Co. in Portland, Oregon, who set out to push the boundaries of traditional glassblowing.“We source sheets of colored glass made by hand, ensuring each piece is unique. This glass, typically shipped in large 20 by 35-inch crates, can be mixed into stunning creations,” Dillingham Marks explains. “The glass transforms as it’s heated between 1400 to 1500 degrees, akin to thick molten honey, allowing it to blend, soften, and create myriad forms, which fused the glass together”The fusion process can involve multiple firings: initially to flatten the glass and then to slump or drape the softened glass over molds for shaping into bowls, platters, trays, wall art, garden art, and more. This process opens innumerable possibilities for artists.For more information about Nancy Dillingham Marks and the Glass Arts Collective, please visit https://glassartscollective.com/

This time she has returned as part of our Empowering Women in America series.Jenny has a message for all the women out there: “Never give up.

Westlake Village, CA - The Glass Arts Collective, founded by Nancy Dillingham Marks, is a new glass art studio promising to enrich the vibrant landscape of artistic expression for beginners, glass enthusiasts, and professional artists. Nestled in the heart of the Conejo Valley, this niche studio specializes in fused glass—a unique category of glass art known for its warmth and versatility.“Glass art is far more than a craft; it’s an invitation to explore creativity in the middle ground between the fiery intensity of hot glass and the serene sturdiness of stained glass,” says Dillingham Marks.Fused glass, considered “warm glass,” occupies a middle ground between the high-temperature processed hot glass/glass blowing and the unheated crafting of cold glass/stained glass. This medium emerged around 50 years ago thanks to innovative engineers at Bullseye Glass Co. in Portland, Oregon, who set out to push the boundaries of traditional glassblowing.“We source sheets of colored glass made by hand, ensuring each piece is unique. This glass, typically shipped in large 20 by 35-inch crates, can be mixed into stunning creations,” Dillingham Marks explains. “The glass transforms as it’s heated between 1400 to 1500 degrees, akin to thick molten honey, allowing it to blend, soften, and create myriad forms, which fused the glass together”The fusion process can involve multiple firings: initially to flatten the glass and then to slump or drape the softened glass over molds for shaping into bowls, platters, trays, wall art, garden art, and more. This process opens innumerable possibilities for artists.For more information about Nancy Dillingham Marks and the Glass Arts Collective, please visit https://glassartscollective.com/

He earned many distinctions as a government leader and also with private sector CEOs while supporting them with leadership development, large scale crises, and the development/execution of finely honed plans. His company’s service offerings also include conferences, personnel training, development tools and programs, teambuilding, and organizational change. You can learn more about Gyeand his team’s offerings by looking at their LEADZ website and browsing the team members.Gye says that many organizations have a chain of command similar to the government, where different VPS are at the top and then stovepipes down from there. Getting the leadership tier and the worker bees aligned on a mission can be difficult and discovering that someone construed as a leader is really only a middle manager also creates opportunities for dialog and training. The government, he says, is an interesting study in leadership.“Leadership is not positional--it’s not about command or authority. Leadership is about inspiring others toward the vision you have. So, lead from where you are. Think beyond the current situation and see the bigger picture. Don’t wait for a title to be a true leader.”Gye also reminds people that our greatest danger is not in aiming too high, but rather aiming too low and then reaching that goal.For more information on Gye and the business, visit https://www.leadzcoach.com/

SEATTLE, WA - When faced with challenges, many of us slip into familiar reactive roles: the helpless victim, the blaming persecutor, or the heroic rescuer. These roles form the Dreaded Drama Triangle, a destructive cycle first identified by Dr. Stephen Karpman in the 1960s. Today, Donna Zajonc champions a powerful alternative: TED (The Empowerment Dynamic)®, a framework developed by her business partner, David Emerald, Together, David and Donna co-founded the Center for The Empowerment Dynamic, where they continue to share this transformative work.With almost 25 years of professional coaching experience -- and sometimes called “a coach’s coach” -- Donna leads courses designed to teach coaches, HR professionals, and leaders how to break free from the drama cycle and embrace TED. Instead of falling into reactive roles, TED empowers individuals to shift into the more empowering TED roles of Creator, Challenger, and Coach—offering a more constructive way to navigate both personal and professional challenges.Donna explains, “The shift to TED is a not a quick 'one and done', rather it is a journey. It requires self-awareness and an ongoing commitment to make more empowering choices.” Her work, rooted in her book Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want, empowers coaches to help others transform their lives by embracing TED* roles.For more information about Donna and TED visit her website: www.powerofted.com

Long Branch, NJ --Claire Chandler is the founder of Talent Boost (2013) and a leadership coach and strategist with a long history of expertise in human resources functions. She has also been called, tongue in cheek, a leadership therapist.Sometimes it is an executive who needs to hone their skills, sometimes it is tactical support for hiring and performance, and ever more so it is a matter of shaping the future of HR.

When looking at things through the lens of people, the most impactful growth is achieved. Claire and her team help plan hiring strategies, build an incubator for talent, and establish growth milestones. She sees the different lenses in a Venn Diagram, and designs programs around the criteria in the central sweet spot.Claire will delve into such human resource concepts in her upcoming radio show. She will also talk about the book she authored, Growth on Purpose. The book enables leaders at all levels to learn the 4-pillar methodology that will attract, retain, engage and advance the right talent---people who can grow their business. She refers to these pillars with A words: Aspiration, Awareness, Acceleration and Alignment.She says people want a future they can buy into and accomplish more if they’ve been invited to create, as well as follow, the roadmap.For more information on Claire’s work and book please visit: www.talentboost.net or www.growthonpurpose.com

Bowie, MD - Film historian and academic scholar Dr. Rory Palmieri is a man on a mission—a mission to bring long-overdue recognition to Miklós Jancsó, the Hungarian filmmaker who is the most under-appreciated major filmmaker of the 20th century. Despite devoting four and a half years of his life to this monumental project, Palmieri acknowledges he still has two more years to go before he can complete his manuscript.He emphasizes that Jancsó’s work is almost entirely unknown outside of Hungary, despite the filmmaker’s critical acclaim domestically. “Jancsó’s films are rarely seen; even scholars and critics who attended international film festivals often missed them,” Palmieri laments. Although the director is mentioned and briefly discussed in numerous textbooks and articles in English, only a few early masterpieces have made it into film festivals and home video in the U.S. The bulk of this great artist’s work is unavailable anywhere in the world, except perhaps in the Hungarian Film Archive in Budapest.Rory Palmieri is an accomplished film historian and language expert with a doctorate in English focused on American literature and film. He has worked in government service as a translator and has a long-standing passion for literature, cinema, and languages. In addition, he is an amateur filmmaker and has worked on other amateur films and as an extra on Hollywood productions. He is now dedicated to bringing attention to Miklós Jancsó, through his upcoming manuscript.For more information about Dr. Rory A.

San Diego, CA - LEANwRIGHT, Inc., an award-winning firm specializing in Lean Six Sigma Training and Business Management Consulting, helps medium to large-sized companies address critical challenges they face managing inventory efficiently. Jerry M. Wright, a seasoned industry expert and the founder of LEANwRIGHT, Inc., highlights significant flaws in the traditional approach to MRP.Established in 2013, LEANwRIGHT, Inc. is known for its transformational Lean Six Sigma training programs. While Lean Six Sigma is widely known for its rigorous, continuous improvement philosophy and structured belt system (White, Yellow, Green, and Black Belts), Jerry believes the firm’s true strength lies in practical business applications rather than just theoretical knowledge.At LEANwRIGHT, the objective is to alleviate frustrations that supply chain and inventory professionals face. Wright paints a vivid picture of this workplace stress, from long hours and job dissatisfaction to being unfairly blamed for systemic issues beyond their control.One of the core messages in Wright’s newly released book, “The Insanity Trap: What Your MRP Consultant Won’t Tell You” is the necessity of moving away from speculative forecasting. Instead, inventory management should rely on actual orders and demand signals. Wright shares an analogy involving AI and flipping coins to illustrate how even the most sophisticated forecasting tools fall short in providing exact predictions.“Our business management consulting service isn’t just about reducing costs. It’s about making life better for employees and optimizing overall business performance,” concludes Wright.For more information about Jerry Wright, please visit https://LEANwRIGHT.com/

Easton, PA - After almost a decade of enduring the challenges of private practice—including pre-authorization hassles, insurance complications, and overhead costs—Dr. Chukwudi Ogbolu discovered a niche solution that significantly enhances the quality of care for the geriatric population.In his role as Medical Director and attending physician at a local nursing facility, Dr. Ogbolu is happy with the percentages, offering 60% skilled nursing and 40% long-term care.Dr. Ogbolu’s transition from private practice to a nursing home setting has been transformative. On the skilled nursing side, there’s high patient turnover, which brings in diverse cases and keeps the work environment dynamic. Conversely, the long-term care side allows Dr. Ogbolu to build lasting relationships with his patients, akin to his experience in private practice. This dual approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive, individualized care.“Compared to private practice, the facility provides the office space, staff, medication, and testing,” Dr. Ogbolu shares. “It also reduced my practice overhead, in addition to making to making my revenue more predictable.”Dr. Ogbolu is part of a shifting trend in nursing homes, where having attending physicians on staff is becoming the norm. “In the past, nursing homes did not have medical doctors on staff. Today, patients arrive with an average of 27 medications. For example, a patient wit a knee injury will need physical therapy. We can’t do physical therapy until the patient is medically stable. Having an attending physician is increasingly a necessity,” Dr. Ogbolu notes.For more information about Dr. Ogbolu, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/chudi-ogbolu-ab7bba68

Sacramento, CA -Lori Bartle is a business advisor and coach for marketing agencies, and the founder of Cultivagency. Now if you separate that into its two root words; you’ll realize her consultancy is about cultivating human agency in advertising and marketing agencies; driving professional growth and self-efficacy, for starters.The concept and benefits of human agency – which are linked to self-efficacy and feeling empowered among other things – can be correlated to proactivity, initiative and making more intentional choices. These principles are explored more fully in a book she authored which is titled, The Agency Within Us. The research that led to the book was found to be beneficial to more than just advertising and marketing and communication industries, revealing what Lori believes to be more of a universal insight, and that is the connection between human agency and leadership. Effective leaders are likely to have a highly developed sense of human agency – and people with a highly developed sense of agency are more likely to tackle the challenges of leadership successfully. Thus, intentionally working to develop high agency can help to foster a leadership mindset and positive behaviors which can boost the attainment of goals and revenue targets in any industry. Should any listeners be interested in reading the book, you can register for a discounted, pre-sale copy at www.TheAgencyWithinUs.comFor more information about Lori’s work and book, please visit https://cultivagency.com/

Savannah, GA - According to a 2023 article by Scientific American, “Two Thirds of American Kids Can’t Read Fluently.” According to renowned educator Dr. Clifford King, the problem is that an insufficient amount of time is being devoted to reading. According to Dr. King, recent trends have shifted focus predominantly to writing and arithmetic, leaving reading to fall by the wayside.“Reading is the cornerstone of all learning,” Dr. King argues. “It influences every subject area and is essential for students whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the workforce. Without strong reading skills, students are disadvantaged across the board.”The crux of the issue, as Dr. King sees it, is in how time is allocated within the curriculum.Another concern raised by Dr. King is the increasing class sizes and the scarcity of paraprofessionals, particularly in higher grades.In smaller class settings, peer tutoring can be an effective strategy.Dr. King is an advocate for blending traditional methods with modern techniques to foster a balanced approach to reading.A significant aspect of Dr. King’s philosophy is parental involvement in education. He suggests that parents can play a crucial role in reinforcing lessons at home. While acknowledging the benefits of technology, Dr. King cautions against over-reliance on tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI).He emphasizes the importance of adapting successful past methods to today’s educational needs.Dr. Clifford King calls for a reevaluation of current educational priorities to better serve students.For more information about Dr. Clifford King, please visit https://marquistopeducators.com/2024/03/11/clifford-king/

Savannah, GA - According to a 2023 article by Scientific American, “Two Thirds of American Kids Can’t Read Fluently.” According to renowned educator Dr. Clifford King, the problem is that an insufficient amount of time is being devoted to reading. According to Dr. King, recent trends have shifted focus predominantly to writing and arithmetic, leaving reading to fall by the wayside.“Reading is the cornerstone of all learning,” Dr. King argues. “It influences every subject area and is essential for students whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the workforce. Without strong reading skills, students are disadvantaged across the board.”The crux of the issue, as Dr. King sees it, is in how time is allocated within the curriculum.Another concern raised by Dr. King is the increasing class sizes and the scarcity of paraprofessionals, particularly in higher grades.In smaller class settings, peer tutoring can be an effective strategy.Dr. King is an advocate for blending traditional methods with modern techniques to foster a balanced approach to reading.A significant aspect of Dr. King’s philosophy is parental involvement in education. He suggests that parents can play a crucial role in reinforcing lessons at home. While acknowledging the benefits of technology, Dr. King cautions against over-reliance on tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI).He emphasizes the importance of adapting successful past methods to today’s educational needs.Dr. Clifford King calls for a reevaluation of current educational priorities to better serve students.For more information about Dr. Clifford King, please visit https://marquistopeducators.com/2024/03/11/clifford-king/
New Albany, IN – Katie Morgan is the founder and executive director of Vulnerable Adult Care Advocates (VACA), a non-profit where she offers low-cost guardianship and advocacy services for seniors that are no longer able to make decisions for themselves and have no one to make those decisions for them, in their advanced and incapacitated state.“Our volunteer guardians and advocates act as my eyes and ears,” summarizes Katie. “We become their default decision-maker, when they are no longer able to make decisions.”Serving a five county region of Southern Indiana – Harrison, Floyd, Clark, Scott, and Jefferson, services include guardianships, advocacy, supported decision making, and guardianship training. While Katie emphasizes that it’s essential to have a plan in place, such as a Power of Attorney, the seniors that utilize VACA usually have no one to take care of them, and no one to make the appropriate decisions regarding care. Most important is affordability where most of Katie’s clients are on Medicaid. VACA offers affordable services for a nominal monthly fee on a sliding scale. “The people that need it the most don’t have much money,” corroborates Katie.“I am most proud of creating this non-profit and keeping it going,” declares Katie. “It’s a needed service that even I was unaware of.”As for the future, Katie looks to hire more guardians so that VACA can increase its caseload. There is currently a wait list for seniors to receive services. “We are looking to expand our reach and make sure everyone is taken care of,” shares Katie.For more information, please visit https://vulnerablecare.org/

Imnaha, OR – When asked how she communicates with animals, Shirley Scott explains, “When I’m communicating with an animal, I really am open to the animal sending me pictures and feeling their emotions in my body. To understand what they’re saying, you have to really get out of your humanness. I always say dogs and animals cannot come into the human world; rather, we have to go into theirs. And that means without judgment, living in the present, and understanding where they’re coming from.Animals know how we feel. “We have to remember that all animals can smell pheromones, which are hormones produced by our glands. At every mood change, humans put out a different smell. We’ve all heard about dogs that can smell cancer. Animals have this ability for survival; in the wild, they have to know what’s going on around them. Domesticated animals don’t lose this ability, so they know what’s going on often long before we even know. They know when we’re sick before we actually know because we smell different. Animals can also see auras and the energies around us—they’re good at seeing spirits. Many dog owners have noticed their pets looking just above the top of their heads instead of their eyes—these animals are looking at auras. Between pheromones and auras, animals ’awareness of what’s going on is really heightened compared to humans,” explains Shirley.Shirley offers her psychic readings for both pets and humans over the phone, email or zoom in increments from 15-minutes to an hour. She also offers individual classes on animal communication and how to live a more peaceful, less stressful life.For more information about Shirley Scott, please visit https://www.shirley-scott.com

Imnaha, OR – When asked how she communicates with animals, Shirley Scott explains, “When I’m communicating with an animal, I really am open to the animal sending me pictures and feeling their emotions in my body. To understand what they’re saying, you have to really get out of your humanness. I always say dogs and animals cannot come into the human world; rather, we have to go into theirs. And that means without judgment, living in the present, and understanding where they’re coming from.Animals know how we feel. “We have to remember that all animals can smell pheromones, which are hormones produced by our glands. At every mood change, humans put out a different smell. We’ve all heard about dogs that can smell cancer. Animals have this ability for survival; in the wild, they have to know what’s going on around them. Domesticated animals don’t lose this ability, so they know what’s going on often long before we even know. They know when we’re sick before we actually know because we smell different. Animals can also see auras and the energies around us—they’re good at seeing spirits. Many dog owners have noticed their pets looking just above the top of their heads instead of their eyes—these animals are looking at auras. Between pheromones and auras, animals ’awareness of what’s going on is really heightened compared to humans,” explains Shirley.Shirley offers her psychic readings for both pets and humans over the phone, email or zoom in increments from 15-minutes to an hour. She also offers individual classes on animal communication and how to live a more peaceful, less stressful life.For more information about Shirley Scott, please visit https://www.shirley-scott.com

Washington, DC - Renowned for his unwavering determination and passion for tackling challenges, Dr. Mark Kestner, a prominent figure in the medical systems consulting industry, is spearheading significant advancements in telehealth and healthcare management. In an era where the healthcare landscape is rapidly evolving, Dr. Kestner’s expertise and innovative approach offer a beacon of hope for a more efficient, integrated, and patient-centered system.During the pandemic, telehealth emerged as a vital tool, bridging gaps and ensuring continuous patient care. “Telehealth was a godsend during the pandemic,” says Dr. Kestner. “Lack of clarity regarding reimbursement of telehealth has delayed health systems from making long-term investments in telemedicine technology. In addition, variation in state laws and systemic policies can result in significant differences in whether and how telemedicine is delivered across state lines.”Dr. Kestner firmly believes in addressing these issues and creating a seamless healthcare experience. “Going full throttle, when possible, with telehealth, the entire business side of healthcare can be simplified with an easier workflow that puts less strain on staff.”In his consulting practice, Dr. Kestner focuses on creating strategic plans for healthcare organizations nearing the end of their existing contracts.Dr. Kestner remains optimistic about the future of healthcare.

Easton, PA - After almost a decade of enduring the challenges of private practice—including pre-authorization hassles, insurance complications, and overhead costs—Dr. Chukwudi Ogbolu discovered a niche solution that significantly enhances the quality of care for the geriatric population.In his role as Medical Director and attending physician at a local nursing facility, Dr. Ogbolu is happy with the percentages, offering 60% skilled nursing and 40% long-term care.Dr. Ogbolu’s transition from private practice to a nursing home setting has been transformative. On the skilled nursing side, there’s high patient turnover, which brings in diverse cases and keeps the work environment dynamic. Conversely, the long-term care side allows Dr. Ogbolu to build lasting relationships with his patients, akin to his experience in private practice. This dual approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive, individualized care.“Compared to private practice, the facility provides the office space, staff, medication, and testing,” Dr. Ogbolu shares. “It also reduced my practice overhead, in addition to making to making my revenue more predictable.”Dr. Ogbolu is part of a shifting trend in nursing homes, where having attending physicians on staff is becoming the norm. “In the past, nursing homes did not have medical doctors on staff. Today, patients arrive with an average of 27 medications. For example, a patient wit a knee injury will need physical therapy. We can’t do physical therapy until the patient is medically stable. Having an attending physician is increasingly a necessity,” Dr. Ogbolu notes.For more information about Dr. Ogbolu, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/chudi-ogbolu-ab7bba68

Escondido, CA - A revolutionary interpretation of our reality aims to transform the way we perceive ourselves and others. During a time when judgment and negativity seem ubiquitous, Tarra Judson Stariell invites us to reconsider our beliefs and embrace a more compassionate, forgiving way of being in the world.Holographic Duality: A New Perspective:Tarra introduces us to the concept of “holographic duality,” a groundbreaking idea that our reality is not as it seems.The Power of Non-Judgment and Self-Love:Tarra emphasizes that judgment creates a karmic effect, disrupting not only our own peace of mind, but that of those around us. By understanding that we don’t possess the right to judge others, we can minimize negative karmic influences and foster an environment where love and acceptance are the guiding principles.Emotions: Tools for Learning:Emotions, particularly negative ones, are often misunderstood. They are not faithful reflections of our true selves, but distorted by the ego-mind, acting as defense mechanisms rooted in past experiences. By examining these emotions instead of reacting impulsively, we can mitigate harm to ourselves and others.Legacy of Intellectual Giants:Tarra’s philosophy was not developed in isolation. It joins the voices of great thinkers throughout history.Tarra’s approach is a call to action for everyone seeking to improve their lives and the world around them.Sanity Lost and Found and Flashpoints of Awareness are available on Amazon.Tarra can be reached by visiting her websites, https://sanitylostandfound.com or https://flashpointsofawareness.com.

Dubuque, IA – Dan Avenarius is the author of Father Forgive Us For We Have Sinned. The book, whose title was inspired by Dan’s faith in God, addresses the sin of racism and the subjugating of people of color by a white male caste system in the United States. In a continuation from his previous show, he will discuss in further detail the growing concern of the Christian nationalism.A Christian nationalist, as defined by Dan is “a person who believes in a power system where white people who sit at the top, use Christianity to support the fact that there should be a Caste system that white people are superior to everyone else.”Dan, who identifies as politically independent, asserts that the problem exists on all sides of the political spectrum.“What is wrong with Christian nationalism is that the Christian nationalist wants to instill their interpretation and ideology, which is very narrow-minded,” Dan concerns. “They want Christianity to be the only religion in the United States, and do not want other religions around.”“In an ideal society without Christian Nationalism, we would not have political parties,” concludes Dan. “We would have true multi-cultural involvement in our day-to-day society. We go back to the roots of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, where every person, not just man, is created equal. They are entitled to the same privileges and pathways being successful.”For more information, please visit https://danavenarius.com/You may also purchase his book on Amazon

Portland, OR - According to the official Olympics website, over 11,000 athletes participated in the 2024 Paris event. We all know the road to the Olympics is long and hard, but where does it all begin?For basketball and American football, it all starts with John McCallum of Prime Time Sports. “We prepare that next generation of athletes for high level of competition, both on the men’s and women’s side,” explains John. “We use our events as a springboard for these elite basketball and football players.”Prime Time Sports works hard to find the best talent. “We know who’s projected to be of NBA/NFL caliber potential. Players are chosen from a team aspect as well as an individual player aspect,” explains John.John works with parents worldwide to navigate ever-changing regulations within the sports industry, or lack thereof. “It’s crazy right now in Division 1 College sports,” admits John. “Because NCAA Division 1 sports, specifically football and basketball which we deal with, does not have a lot of regulations, it really comes down to what is allowed. Basically, you can go to college and get paid more than you can by playing in the NFL. And once you start, there’s no going back. Elite athletes are younger and more talented than ever, si we work hard to make sure that everything is in place. We advise parents in many different areas. We have been around long enough and have a lot of knowledge and friends within the industry. We have the contacts for whatever you’re looking for, whatever that is legitimate on both sides – both the athlete and the brand.”For more information about John McCallum and Prime Time Sports, please visit https://www.primetimepdx.com
Red Springs, NC - John F. Kennedy famously said, “I’m concerned about the recklessness of public policy that endangers people’s lives, especially in minority communities, where crime often is such a scourge.” Professor of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Dr. Alice Kay Locklear, cannot agree more.Working through all levels of social work for over 20 years, Professor Locklear was challenged by individuals who did not really understand social work and the importance of ethics. “For example, when services were provided to clients with a dual diagnosis, let’s say substance use and a mental health diagnosis, that client could be assigned to two different professionals—one for substance use and another for mental health. This policy not only depletes resources, but it can also be confusing to clients,” explains Dr. Locklear. “The reason overlapping services and waste exists is because policy makers may not have a solid understanding of social work or ethical social work practices. Policy makers may tend to pay attention to financial considerations as they are mostly individuals with business focused degrees.”As a member of the Lumbee tribe, Dr. Locklear is the first and only female Native American who holds a Ph.D. in her social work department. Dr. Locklear serves as the NASW-NC Chair for Pembroke-Lumberton Local Program Unit and is a member of the National Association of Social Workers and serves on the NASW Board of Directors, Executive Board, and further serves on the National Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity.For more information about Alice Kay Locklear, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-alice-kay-locklear-08700b36
Lexington, MA – Richard Larson has been an operations researcher for over five decades. His success in this area earned him the nickname “Dr. Queue”. In addition, he also describes himself as an “MIT Lifer.” In other words, besides being an alumnus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he also is a tenured professor at MIT.According to Brittanica, operations research (OR) is the “application of scientific methods to the management and administration of organized military, governmental, commercial, and industrial processes.”“It’s bringing the scientific method to the world in which we live,” confirms Richard.

Lawrence, KS - Signature Design + Studio, in collaboration with the non-profit organization Designing for Veterans, is proud to announce pioneering advancements in Wellness Design. This initiative emphasizes the profound impact that well-conceived interiors can have on health and wellness, addressing the impact of design from a holistic perspective including physical, emotional, mental, and overall well-being within the built environment.“Interior design is more than aesthetics,” says Carol Cisco, Principal of Signature Design + Studio and founder of Designing for Veterans. Based on years of providing designed environments to severely disabled veterans, her research in this work discovered how design can impact one’s life. While there are the standard interior design elements there are others not identified until now. Those need careful application in designing a home or any built environment by looking through a new and holistic lens.Carol Cisco’s journey into interior design began as a child. At six years old, she built a house out of cardboard and intuitively understood the concept of scale. This innate understanding of space and proportion set her on a path to becoming a visionary in interior design.“By blending health & wellness with design, we can create spaces that heal and nurture,” says Cisco. “It’s about looking beyond aesthetics to understand how our surroundings impact our lives every day.”For more information, please visit https://www.signaturedesignstudio.net/ and https://www.designingforveterans.org/home.html.

Imnaha, OR – When asked how she communicates with animals, Shirley Scott explains, “When I’m communicating with an animal, I really am open to the animal sending me pictures and feeling their emotions in my body. To understand what they’re saying, you have to really get out of your humanness. I always say dogs and animals cannot come into the human world; rather, we have to go into theirs. And that means without judgment, living in the present, and understanding where they’re coming from.Animals know how we feel. “We have to remember that all animals can smell pheromones, which are hormones produced by our glands. At every mood change, humans put out a different smell. We’ve all heard about dogs that can smell cancer. Animals have this ability for survival; in the wild, they have to know what’s going on around them. Domesticated animals don’t lose this ability, so they know what’s going on often long before we even know. They know when we’re sick before we actually know because we smell different. Animals can also see auras and the energies around us—they’re good at seeing spirits. Many dog owners have noticed their pets looking just above the top of their heads instead of their eyes—these animals are looking at auras. Between pheromones and auras, animals ’awareness of what’s going on is really heightened compared to humans,” explains Shirley.Shirley offers her psychic readings for both pets and humans over the phone, email or zoom in increments from 15-minutes to an hour. She also offers individual classes on animal communication and how to live a more peaceful, less stressful life.For more information about Shirley Scott, please visit https://www.shirley-scott.com

Boston, MA - “The challenge facing many businesses today is not that remote employees are less productive, but rather that remote teams require a different leadership approach to reach peak productivity,” explains Cecilia Dahl founder of Remote Leadership Lab.“What’s really happening is that many businesses are continuing to lead remote teams the same way they have always led co-located teams, often because they were forced into remote work during the pandemic. But the same approach simply doesn’t work.”So, what can leaders do? “I firmly believe that one of the most effective ways to engage a team is through inspiration—showing team members their potential, reinforcing their value, and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to their success,“ says Cecilia. “When employees understand their worth and see how their contributions, alongside those of their teammates, support the organization’s broader goals, they begin to feel connected to the business and develop a sense of community and belonging. Once that foundation is established, it becomes much easier to build essential skills around communication, productivity, planning, goal setting, decision-making, and more.”The tug of war between companies pushing for a return to the office and employees advocating for remote work won’t last forever. “Remote work isn’t a new concept,” acknowledges Cecilia,Cecilia co-authored Unlocking the Secrets of Remote Leadership with Katherine Brand to help leaders master necessary skills with expert insights and time-tested strategies.

Players are chosen from a team aspect as well as an individual player aspect,” explains John.John works with parents worldwide to navigate ever-changing regulations within the sports industry, or lack thereof. “It’s crazy right now in Division 1 College sports,” admits John. “Because NCAA Division 1 sports, specifically football and basketball which we deal with, does not have a lot of regulations, it really comes down to what is allowed. Basically, you can go to college and get paid more than you can by playing in the NFL. And once you start, there’s no going back.

Dr. Ramzan Zakir, founder of the Heart & Vascular Institute of Central New Jersey, is working hard to soften the impact.“What I find fascinating about the heart is that our interventions can have immediate impact on patients.

Farmer City, IL - While the FCC claims that everyday exposure to electromagnetic radiation like WiFi, Bluetooth, cellphone frequencies, radio frequencies and other EMFs are not causing health problems, many are wondering if an increase in mild to acute discomfort, fatigue, dizziness, inflammation and chronic issues might be due to this everyday exposure.

Fulshear, TX - Because Mexico doesn’t conduct an official national census of orphaned children, knowing the whereabouts and living conditions of these children is impossible. Nancy Nystrom, who has a second home in Manzanillo, Mexico, never really thought much about these children—until her son died in 1994.“In 1995, we first set up the Children’s Foundation International in Colorado as a 501c3 to solicit donations to support Mexican children who had fallen through the cracks; kids who had no hope for the future who couldn’t move on without extra help. In 1996, we opened Casa Hogar Los Angelitos. In 2014, we were able to expand by establishing a second non-profit in Canada.In 1996, she was able to finally get permission to open a full-time facility.In 2020 the Children’s Foundation International moved their office from Colorado to Fulshear, TX.The Children’s Foundation International has a documentary regarding the Casa Hogar called “Unconditional” on YouYube and its web site and has videos of performances and blog at https://tcfcares.org where visitors can find information on donating and Nancy’s books, I See You, Cries of the Heart, and Each Day a Portion. You can also find videos about Nancy on YouTube by searching for Casa Hogar Los Angelitos. The Children’s Foundation, Casa Hogar Los Angelitos, and Ballet Folklorico Los Angelitos are non profits funded through donations.For more information about Nancy Nystrom and The Children’s Foundation International, please visit https://tcfcares.org/
Indianapolis, IN – Eve Carson is the author of the book Simple, Safe & Secret: The 1981 Murder of Joan L. Webster. Recently, she founded a non-profit known as Victims of Injustice Speak (VOIS). “Be a VOIS!” she encourages.VOIS provides individuals with resources who have been the victim or knows someone who was a victim of malfeasance regarding a shoddy investigation. Malfeasance can include a botched investigation, cover up from said investigators including law enforcement, corrupt attorneys, and even witness tampering. Resources currently include information on how to access public records via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as well as contacts with legal professionals such as investigators and attorneys.What makes VOIS different from other initiatives that call for justice surrounding mysterious cold case files, is that with other non-profits, their main purpose is whodunnit. With VOIS, the main purpose is why did they (the investigators) do it (malfeasance). “We’re investigating the investigators,” clarifies Eve. “I am providing a place for people to go to get resources.”Eve’s motivation for starting VOIS came as a result, surrounding the mysterious November 1981 disappearance and death of her sister-in-law, Joan Webster.As for the future, Eve seeks to expand her current library of resources by expanding contacts with additional investigators, attorneys, and other legal professionals. She also hopes to use VOIS as a springboard to take part speaking in conferences about crime activity and crime resolution.“When you KNOW something, say something!” Eve concludes. “I will continue to be a VOIS!”For more information, please visit https://www.beavois.org/

She graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA in 1982, and Penn State/Hershey College of Medicine in 1986.She is Certified in Functional Medicine through the Institute For Functional Medicine and is also Certified in Integrative Pediatrics.For so long, the standard of care psychiatrist has centered on overprescribing medications.

We require a holistic approach focused on changing dietary patterns, lifestyle imbalances, movement, and practicing techniques to prevent future issues in addition to addressing any infections, toxins, or other physical illnesses.Dr. Heffner uses mind-body practices like yoga, meditation, neurofeedback, massage, herbs, therapy, and electro-acupuncture, which all evidence-based examples of how we can meet our physical, mental, and spiritual needs. Other treatment strategies include antibiotics and/or herbs or homeopathy to treat vector-borne infections and mold illness, as well as addressing hormonal, digestive system dysfunction, and detoxification methods such as sauna and ionic foot baths. Dr. Heffner feels operating on a holistic health paradigm is what medicine should be all about.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service requires all organized companies and their unions to notify them of upcoming negotiations.“Negotiating High Performance-Focused Partnerships, written with John Butler and Thomas Posey, outlines how companies and unions can survive this economy with increasing non-union competition. In a nutshell, it’s about how to negotiate and build partnerships that yield mutual gains, in the form of high performance while sharing those gains with employees when it comes to wages, benefits, and the like,” explains Professor Cooke.Negotiating High Performance-Focused Partnerships is available on Amazon.For more information about Professor Cooke, please email cookew@msu.edu

OTTAWA, ON -- Amy Friesen noticed the confusion surrounding the senior living industry, how older folks and their families had a tough time sorting through the sea of choices and matching their individual needs to what retirement homes were offering.Amy decided to become their advocate and to develop a personalized service where seniors and their families could engage one person. That is how Tea & Toast was born. The name has several meanings for the senior population. For one, many older folks who are no longer truly independent end up eating tea and toast instead of a well-rounded meal. A second and more heartening meaning is the special intimacy and comfort that go along with sharing a cup of tea with someone. Thirdly, there is the old adage My Cup of Tea, which relates to a perfectly fitting situation.Since Amy has such strong knowledge of the options available in her native Canada, the majority of their work is centered in Ottawa and Ontario. However, the company works with clients all over the world, especially when it is a child or other family member making the decisions for the senior person. Providing virtual tours of possible Canadian locations is easily accomplished for those as far away as the UK or Australia. Virtual tours and Zoom meetings are also one of the ways Amy and her team save time for people whose time is surely crunched.Amy recently published a few years back and just updated it. Breadcrumbs is a comprehensive guide than empowers readers to make informed decision and navigate the complex system of care. The book is filled with personal and professional insights that make it an essential resource for caregivers.For more information about Amy and her work please visit www.teaandtoast.ca
Farmer City, IL - While the FCC claims that everyday exposure to electromagnetic radiation like WiFi, Bluetooth, cellphone frequencies, radio frequencies and other EMFs are not causing health problems, many are wondering if an increase in mild to acute discomfort, fatigue, dizziness, inflammation and chronic issues might be due to this everyday exposure. Regardless of the debate, Alina Phoenix, founder of PhoenixHealingCreations.com, has a solution. Alina is creating a variety of products that harmonize toxic energies in our environment, such as emf radiation, into a form that no longer bothers our body’s energetic field. These orgonite products can be worn as jewelry, attached to electronics, or simply placed around our homes and offices to help us feel more comfortable and balanced.“Orgonite in its modern form refers to a blend of metals and crystals in a resin matrix. It creates a high vibration, highly organized energetic field, which elevates and harmonizes unwanted, unintentional and negative energies into beneficial form,” explains Alina.She is certified in Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code, EMF balancing techniques, aromatherapy, Ho’oponopono, and offers a range of Energy Healing session options.Alina is also passionate about empowering others.

Kennesaw, GA - Kathleen Fleiszar founder Life House Atlanta Children’s Respite, Inc. (DBA: Life House Atlanta). She now serves as the co-founder and executive director. Fleiszar is leading the effort to increase community awareness of the urgent need of a freestanding pediatric respite house in Georgia.Life House Atlanta, a 501c3 public charity, is composed primarily of volunteers who have been working ceaselessly to expand their database of potential and current donors to raise funds to build this house.“We are looking to construct a 12,000 square foot, freestanding building with ample ground space for a playground and quiet time in nature. The building committee has been looking at a variety of places in metro Atlanta and has located several prospective sites. Additionally, we have a conceptual design that provides a solid foundation of the anticipated cost of $8 million. There will be opportunities to donate toward individual therapy rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, a playground, or a child’s private bedroom. The ultimate, of course, would be to find someone who is willing to donate land, with or without a structure that can be renovated. I have a vision of staking a post on that piece of land with a sign that reads, “Future home of Life House Atlanta,” says Fleiszar.Life House Atlanta will be a warm and cheerful home uniquely designed to provide palliative care, which essentially means helping children with extensive medical needs live as well as possible for as long as possible.For more information about Kathleen Fleiszar and Life House Atlanta Children’s Respite, Inc., please visit https://lifehouseatlanta.org

Savannah, GA - In a 2024 article, the Pew Research Center states that “About half of U.S. adults (51%) say the country’s public K-12 education system is generally going in the wrong direction,” with the majority of the 51% saying schools are not spending enough time on core subjects. Retired elementary school principal Dr. Clifford King respectfully disagrees. “We are getting so caught up in academia that we are bypassing or forgetting how to teach children. Too much emphasis is placed on reading, writing, and arithmetic, regardless what form they come in, to the point where key issues in life are being put on the back burner. Once students leave school, the world expects them to know how to do certain things. And not only know how to do them, know how to do them well. Some students will succeed, and some won’t. The bottom line is that we are not sure how many students will go to on to college and become professionals. For the most part, students will likely go directly into the workforce which means they need to know basic job skills, how to get along with coworkers, how to be respectful toward bosses, how to manage money—that kind of thing.”As well as serving as an educator and principal, Dr. King is active in his church and community, helping to feed the hungry and homeless with his church’s food bank. “It’s amazing how many underserved people are out there. We normally serve food the second and third Wednesday of each month. And it has worked very well so far. Our church assists in whatever ways we can—whether it’s financially, academically, or whatever,” shares Dr. King. “We are hoping to start a new food bank, I already have the application.”For more information about Dr. Clifford King, please email chrisking@aol.com

Gywnn Oak, MD - ”With over 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, working closely with youths and families impacted by the foster care system, I’ve witnessed firsthand the immense pressures mothers face. I’ve seen how a mother’s absence affects her child’s educational needs, mental health, social life, and overall well-being. The hard truth is that many mothers are running on empty, far from reaching their maximum potential. My own 22-year journey through a tumultuous relationship, a difficult divorce, and various medical challenges taught me the critical importance of self-awareness. I had to learn the hard way how to prioritize my own well-being. The pain from my divorce and health struggles gave birth to my business, To Know Thy Self LLC. As a Moach, I work with women to help them rediscover who they are as dynamic individuals. Through our work together, they align with their purpose and gain clarity, which translates into a thriving life and business that brings abundance. Through my work with clients across the globe, I’ve come to understand that motherhood is a universal language. Everywhere I go, I hear the same stories from the women I serve: mothers struggling with the discomfort of putting themselves first. It’s a global phenomenon—motherhood often seems to come with an underlying sense of guilt for prioritizing self-care. But the reality is, you can’t show up fully for your children, spouse, work, or any other aspect of your life if you’re not operating at your maximum potential.I offer one-on-one coaching, group coaching, and host events throughout the year, in addition to speaking at various engagements.For more information about Nikia Pratt, please visit https://nikiknows.com/

New York, NY - Donna Schwarz, founder of Schwarz Consultants elucidates, “Stories provide context and a way for people to understand what a business does, the value it provides. Stories evoke our imagination, new ways of thinking, and are highly memorable. Most importantly, when people hear stories, they begin to form mental images in their own heads that apply directly to their needs, and they begin to imagine a company’s services or product in our environment. In fact, storytelling is probably the number one thing that clients are asking me to help them with because stories are key to influencing.”With over eight years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, Donna understands the psychology behind effective business leaders. “Leaders who are self-aware calibrate stories to their audiences in a way that resonates with them. Being self-aware also means knowing how to pay attention to emotional needs and speak to what they really care about.”“Being a leader is about people. And to be effective with people, self-awareness is key. In my coaching practice, I use the EQI 2.0, which is one of the leading emotional intelligence assessments we have. The EQI 2.0 breaks emotional intelligence down into usable components so we can measure EQ areas that are highly developed –strengths, and areas that are not as developed. By using one’s natural strength, I help clients learn new approaches to challenging situations.”The ability to develop a fluid personality also helps leaders be inspirational. “Great leaders are able to read the room, connect with people, build trust, and motivate.”For more information about Donna Schwarz, please visit https://www.schwarzconsultants.com

Ashburn, VA - Americans spend a lot of time avoiding and not thinking about death, but like taxes, death is inevitable. Talking about where you’d like to be, who you’d like to be, and what you’d like to do is essential to entering this life-stage with confidence and grace. As the former Vice President of Regulatory and Compliance at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and a longtime advocate for hospice services under Medicare, Judi Lund Person has been working hard for more than 40 years to protect the definition of hospice care and to provide resources and guides for hospice providers to meet the Medicare requirements and provide high quality hospice care.Many people think that hospice is a place. Other people think that hospice means that you will be required to die at home. The reality is that hospice is a service that provides care wherever the patient is.Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team, including nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, aides and other people who might be needed, like music therapy and massage. The team works together to develop a plan just for the patient and their family. The patient and the patient’s chosen family all receive care from the hospice team—and support for physical symptoms; psychosocial and spiritual concerns for both the patient and their family. After the patient’s death, bereavement support is available to the family for 13 months to help with the adjustments to the loss of their loved one.Since leaving NHPCO, Ms. Person founded LundPerson & Associates Hospice Consulting for hospice providers looking for resources and expert guidance.For more information about Judi Lund Person, please visit https://hospiceconsultant.com/

Lloydminster, SK - Close Up Radio welcomes back highly regarded Empowerment Strategist, Emotional Resilience Expert, and Mentor Bonnie Wirth, in this must listen to three-part series, where she will share interesting insights on relationships. She will discuss the importance of giving and receiving equally in relationships, self-love, and how to handle conflicts in a healthy way.Whether it’s marriage, friendship, family, or any other personal connections, these relationships can bring us challenges and heartache if we don’t have a positive experience. But rather than trying to heal from our wounds, we may resort to blaming other people for being cruel and betraying us.Bonnie affirms that love comes with honoring ourselves and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable to all our feelings and emotions. In fact, part of the human experience is getting hurt, healing, and loving again. That’s the only way we grow and evolve. After all, we are all worthy of healthy, loving relationships.When we engage with one another attentively and empathetically, we are showing our loved ones how blessed we are to have them in our lives.Bonnie advises us to not be so dependent on our smart phones which disconnects us from the people around us.Our lives were meant be lived with purpose, love, and making sure to spread kindness and compassion to every living being on earth. Undoubtedly, satisfying relationships will lead to longer and happier lives. They help us navigate life’s challenges so much better, so we look forward to every day with positivity and optimism. It’s up to every single one of us how much joy and fulfilment we bring to our own lives.For more information, visit www.bonniewirth.ca
Winchester, OH - Dr. James Obney has spent his life preparing to run a medical system. As a practicing Cardiothoracic surgeon skilled in robotic surgery, he holds a Master of Jurisprudence in health care law, policy, and management from Texas A&M University School of Law, and served 17-years in the military. “I am passionate about learning, and am always learning something new,” shares Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney loves learning and operating so much, he is also trained as a robotic lung surgeon. “Operating robotically is a completely different technique, much less invasive than traditional surgery. With robotic surgery, the surgeon controls up to four different instruments while sitting at a computer console—you’re not even standing next to the patient.,” explains Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney pursued a Master of Jurisprudence degree. “I see a lot that can be improved and it’s a challenge. Health insurance companies currently play a big role running the show. They determine what kind of fees will reimburse for what services. Physicians see allowed fees as independent of the amount of work required. When we seek medical help, we are definitely not going into our doctors who help us and we pay them. That system is gone, and what’s happening, in my mind, is just out of control. So, this is an area that can be debated and addressed through administration. America, by far, offers the very best healthcare in the world in terms of the delivery. I’m still not sure I know how the system got this way, but I hope to help open the debate.”For more information about Dr. James Obney, please email seamusmd@aol.com

St. Louis, MO - Occupational therapy and aging aren’t two concepts that are often brought together, but Karen Frank Barney has spent her life helping older and incarcerated adults achieve a better quality of life with occupational therapy. Author of Occupational Therapy with Aging Adults, Promoting Quality of Life Through Collaborative Practice, Karen worked with 82 leaders in gerontology and occupational therapy to publish the second edition, coming out this fall.“Since earning my emeritus status at Saint Louis University, I wanted to include content I have been working on since 2013 related to a rehabilitation model for people being released from prison,” shares Karen.Thirty years of age is typically human’s physical peak. “That’s why the book is geared toward aging adults, as we’re all aging after age 30. I wanted to include everyone who is on decline, whether physical, or psychological, for a variety of reasons. We know that, on average, older adults have 40% less muscle mass than younger adults. Physical decline is a natural part of life. Keeping our bodies functional throughout our adult ages, is essential for quality of life. With proper therapy and other interventions, that 40% can be mitigated and even reversed. Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk to the store rather than driving. My husband and I are both in our early 80s and we’ve been working with a trainer for a decade,” shares Karen.Occupational Therapy with Aging Adults is available on Amazon.For more information about Karen Frank Barney, please visit https://www.slu.edu/doisy/faculty/barney-karen.php

Boulder, CO - Relationships can be wonderfully joyful and they can be overwhelmingly messy and hurtful and everything in between. And yet, they’re still the single most important aspect of our lives and we help people thrive in them.As relational life coaches, “the foundational lens we coach through is that we believe you are your own best expert in yourself, and we help you access that expertise and wisdom through learning to cultivate a skilled, compassionate relationship with yourself.

New York, NY - Donna Schwarz, founder of Schwarz Consultants elucidates, “Stories provide context and a way for people to understand what a business does, the value it provides. Stories evoke our imagination, new ways of thinking, and are highly memorable. Most importantly, when people hear stories, they begin to form mental images in their own heads that apply directly to their needs, and they begin to imagine a company’s services or product in our environment. In fact, storytelling is probably the number one thing that clients are asking me to help them with because stories are key to influencing.”With over eight years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, Donna understands the psychology behind effective business leaders. “Leaders who are self-aware calibrate stories to their audiences in a way that resonates with them. Being self-aware also means knowing how to pay attention to emotional needs and speak to what they really care about.”“Being a leader is about people. And to be effective with people, self-awareness is key. In my coaching practice, I use the EQI 2.0, which is one of the leading emotional intelligence assessments we have. The EQI 2.0 breaks emotional intelligence down into usable components so we can measure EQ areas that are highly developed –strengths, and areas that are not as developed. By using one’s natural strength, I help clients learn new approaches to challenging situations.”The ability to develop a fluid personality also helps leaders be inspirational. “Great leaders are able to read the room, connect with people, build trust, and motivate.”For more information about Donna Schwarz, please visit https://www.schwarzconsultants.com

Dubuque, IA – Dan Avenarius is the author of Father Forgive Us For We Have Sinned. The book, whose title was inspired by Dan’s faith in God, addresses the sin of racism and the subjugating of people of color by a white male caste system in the United States. He also discusses the concern of the Christian Nationalist.“This book is not a war on the Republicans or Democrats,” assures Dan. “I am not a political person and have never been a member of either party. I don’t believe in being told by someone else what I should believe or who I should vote for. It’s neither the Republicans’ fault nor the Democrats’ fault, because if you look back at history, they both had equal roles in being complicit.”A Christian nationalist, as defined by Dan is “a person who believes in a power system where white people who sit at the top, use Christianity to support the fact that there should be a Caste system that white people are superior to everyone else.”“That caste system has entered into our law enforcement system, which was my career for thirty years,” concerns Dan. Not only does this injustice permeate law enforcement, but also the entire criminal justice system. In his book, Dan first recounts his experiences in law enforcement and the racial unrest that had occurred during his career. “My whole career was an epiphany,” declares Dan.Dan’s book extensively explains the issues and incidents surrounding racism, and what he feels can be done about it.For more information, please visit https://danavenarius.com/You may also purchase his book on Amazon
Ann Arbor, MI - Author of sixteen scholarly books, Kim Cameron’s latest release is Positively Energizing Leadership. “The purpose of the book is to highlight three points. The first is to make the empirical case that all human beings flourish and thrive in the presence of positive energy. The second point is that when a leader demonstrates positively energizing practices, the organization’s overall performance goes up markedly—that is, profitability, productivity, quality, and so forth. Positively energizing practices are simply behaviors we all know: kindness, gratitude, compassion, and forgiveness which are embedded in the organization’s culture. The third point of the book is to explain and illustrate the effectiveness of the behaviors that characterize positively energizing behaviors," explains Cameron.“The major criticism of positive leadership is that being held accountable for profitability, productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction cannot simply be managed with just a smile or thinking happy thoughts. Leaders are responsible for bottom-line results. Empirical evidence shows, however, that when leaders implement positively energizing practices, when positive behaviors are embedded in the culture of an organization, profitability goes up—often dramatically.In addition to his work on positive leadership practices, Cameron is also the creator of the widely used Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) and the Management Skills Assessment Instrument (MSAI). These assessment tools measure organizational culture and the leadership competencies that are associated with different types of cultures.For more information about Kim S.

St. Louis, MO - Occupational therapy and aging aren’t two concepts that are often brought together, but Karen Frank Barney has spent her life helping older and incarcerated adults achieve a better quality of life with occupational therapy. Author of Occupational Therapy with Aging Adults, Promoting Quality of Life Through Collaborative Practice, Karen worked with 82 leaders in gerontology and occupational therapy to publish the second edition, coming out this fall.“Since earning my emeritus status at Saint Louis University, I wanted to include content I have been working on since 2013 related to a rehabilitation model for people being released from prison,” shares Karen.Thirty years of age is typically human’s physical peak. “That’s why the book is geared toward aging adults, as we’re all aging after age 30. I wanted to include everyone who is on decline, whether physical, or psychological, for a variety of reasons. We know that, on average, older adults have 40% less muscle mass than younger adults. Physical decline is a natural part of life. Keeping our bodies functional throughout our adult ages, is essential for quality of life. With proper therapy and other interventions, that 40% can be mitigated and even reversed. Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk to the store rather than driving. My husband and I are both in our early 80s and we’ve been working with a trainer for a decade,” shares Karen.Occupational Therapy with Aging Adults is available on Amazon.For more information about Karen Frank Barney, please visit https://www.slu.edu/doisy/faculty/barney-karen.php
Ashburn, VA - Americans spend a lot of time avoiding and not thinking about death, but like taxes, death is inevitable. Talking about where you’d like to be, who you’d like to be, and what you’d like to do is essential to entering this life-stage with confidence and grace. As the former Vice President of Regulatory and Compliance at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and a longtime advocate for hospice services under Medicare, Judi Lund Person has been working hard for more than 40 years to protect the definition of hospice care and to provide resources and guides for hospice providers to meet the Medicare requirements and provide high quality hospice care.Many people think that hospice is a place. Other people think that hospice means that you will be required to die at home. The reality is that hospice is a service that provides care wherever the patient is.Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team, including nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, aides and other people who might be needed, like music therapy and massage. The team works together to develop a plan just for the patient and their family. The patient and the patient’s chosen family all receive care from the hospice team—and support for physical symptoms; psychosocial and spiritual concerns for both the patient and their family. After the patient’s death, bereavement support is available to the family for 13 months to help with the adjustments to the loss of their loved one.Since leaving NHPCO, Ms. Person founded LundPerson & Associates Hospice Consulting for hospice providers looking for resources and expert guidance.For more information about Judi Lund Person, please visit https://hospiceconsultant.com/

Dallas, TX - Ketamine has been in the news recently, but how much does the general public really know about it? Dr. Lisa Bassili of On The Mend Recovery knows all about it from research and practice. “Ketamine is a medication I use in my anesthesia practice every day. After researching its healing effects in mental health illness, I knew I needed to be a part of the revolution,” shares Dr. Bassili. “That’s why I started On the Mend Recovery. While ketamine is most famous for being abused in club settings, in therapeutic settings with very small doses, it can transform a person’s life.”Ketamine therapy is a small IV infusion based on weight that lasts 40 minutes. “During the infusion, most people feel a slight euphoria. We don’t want them to disassociate or disconnect; rather, want them to be present and aware of their surroundings and what’s going on. The objective is to lift patients out of negative feelings, which is nothing like ‘K-hole’ where people are abusing the medication in club settings,” explains Dr. Bassili. “The brain is like a muscle that we have to train. Ketamine therapy actually regrows the happy neuron tracks in the brain, otherwise known as neuroplasticity. When we’re having healthy, happy thoughts and feelings with ketamine in our system, ketamine actually helps regrow neurons to map those healthy, happy feelings in the amygdala of the prefrontal cortex. The end result is patients walk away with new neural pathways to process those happy, positive feelings.“Regardless, I am dedicated to this practice as the results are very exciting. I love what I’m doing for my patients,” shares Dr. Bassili/For more information please visit https://onthemendtx.com/

Apex, NC - AI has been in the news lately and it sounds exciting. But how do you know if AI is right for your business? Robert Lake of Focal Point Coaching can help. With over 30 years of experience working in data science, natural programming language, Bayesian belief networks, and AI, he understands not only the history of AI, but the future as well.“The big problem we have today is that we don’t understand what’s being presented to us and we have a very young generation that’s grown up using IT and some of the AI tools. This generation is using these tools unquestionably without really understanding how simple these tools actually are. The answers we’re getting from AI do not come down to the person—they come down to the data being used and how the model or network was trained,” explains Robert.Using AI just for the sake of using AI is a costly mistake. “Once the business fundamentals are in place, we can discuss where a leader wants them to be and what to do next. Only then can we potentially use AI as a strategy to help uncover more cost-effective ways to accomplish long-term goals. No amount of AI or technology, no matter how big of a business methodology, will ever help a leader overcome faulty fundamentals,” shares Robert.“Looking holistically at the entire business is vital for any technology to succeed,” concludes Robert.To get a free Business Growth Score for your business, visit Robert’s website at https://businessgrowth-robertlake.scoreapp.com/For more information about Robert Lake, please visit https://robertlake.focalpointcoaching.com/

Bridgewater, NJ - A 2018 analysis by Clinical and Translational Medicine of chemotherapies shows failure rates of 90% (±5). While chemotherapy has been proven to prolong the life of cancer patients, chemotherapy is very hard on the patient and not a cure. Ajay Ohri of The Alka Ohri Foundation experienced these statistics when his wife, Alka, was diagnosed with Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (MTNBC HER2–), which accounts for 10 to 20% of all breast cancer cases.“When my wife was first diagnosed, not knowing what to do, even with my background in pharmaceuticals, we went with the flow and she started taking chemo.”“A year later, Alka was still with us but suffering from the side effects of chemo and radiation. Not until her stage of cancer went from one to three in one month and the cancer had metastasized in her lungs did we begin learning about the holistic side of cancer treatment. Alka began meditating, exercising, and practicing yoga,” shares Ajay.“The Alka Ohri Foundation is working on a program to put all of these variables in place,” explains Ajay. “We are currently working with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Sloan-Kettering, who are each looking at 50 cancer patients on chemo and as well as holistic therapies. These patients will receive yoga training, work with an oncology nutritionist, and other holistic therapies. After the 12-month studies, the resulting programs will be phenomenal.“I don’t want any woman to suffer the way my Alka suffered,” shares Ajay.For more information about Ajay K.

Escondido, CA - Trauma is an aspect of life few of us escape. From psychology to pharmaceuticals to spirituality, many therapies are available for healing and yet, healing from intense trauma remains elusive. Author Tarra Judson Stariell knows all too well the challenges and benefits healing from trauma can bring. After joining the Peace Corps in the 1970s she returned to her native California to share a paranormal message she had received, asking her to “return home and share with your family and others that life as you know it on Planet Earth will end if humans do not change the way they are living.” After having desperately sought a way to impart this message from various disciplines, philosophies, religions, and modalities, she ended up living in a spiritual cult. Along with the others, she was brainwashed and battered until finally able to extricate herself. All this and her subsequent recovery and licensure as a psychotherapist is chronicled in her first book Sanity Lost and Found: A True Story of Brainwashing and Recovery. Her second book, Flashpoints of Awareness: Lessons Learned from a Life is her continued sharing of quantum physics, A Course in Miracles, and using healthy coping mechanisms for life’s challenges.Sanity Lost and Found and Flashpoints of Awareness are available on Amazon. Tarra can be reached by visiting her website at https://thecenterforselfdiscovery.com/.For more information about Tarra Judson Stariell, please visit https://www.flashpointsofawareness.com, https://www.sanitylostandfound.com, and https://thecenterforselfdiscovery.com/
Winchester, OH - Dr. James Obney has spent his life preparing to run a medical system. As a practicing Cardiothoracic surgeon skilled in robotic surgery, he holds a Master of Jurisprudence in health care law, policy, and management from Texas A&M University School of Law, and served 17-years in the military. “I am passionate about learning, and am always learning something new,” shares Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney loves learning and operating so much, he is also trained as a robotic lung surgeon. “Operating robotically is a completely different technique, much less invasive than traditional surgery. With robotic surgery, the surgeon controls up to four different instruments while sitting at a computer console—you’re not even standing next to the patient.,” explains Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney pursued a Master of Jurisprudence degree. “I see a lot that can be improved and it’s a challenge. Health insurance companies currently play a big role running the show. They determine what kind of fees will reimburse for what services. Physicians see allowed fees as independent of the amount of work required. When we seek medical help, we are definitely not going into our doctors who help us and we pay them. That system is gone, and what’s happening, in my mind, is just out of control. So, this is an area that can be debated and addressed through administration. America, by far, offers the very best healthcare in the world in terms of the delivery. I’m still not sure I know how the system got this way, but I hope to help open the debate.”For more information about Dr. James Obney, please email seamusmd@aol.com

So, he decided to move back to New England to live with his dad. Kimberley went six years without any communication. “That was a very long six years, and I thought about him almost every day. But I knew that I had to let go and stay strong so he could return.“When he was 23, he resurfaced, coming back into our lives. He seemed very sorry for the lost time, said he missed me, his step-dad, and his sister. He shared that the six years apart had been tough, saying he didn’t know how I raised him as such a young mom, adding, ‘I’m on food stamps, working, but I’m not making enough money.”As founder of Life by Design Solutions, Kimberley is helping individuals and small businesses maintain their mental health and build their prosperity with Pinterest. “In the digital world, I am able to leverage my time by getting in and getting out while still making a lot of money.

Marathon, FL – Sherrie Schwab is the CEO of Domestic Abuse Shelter of The Florida Keys (DAS), where they offer services to those individuals, both women and men that are the victims of intimate partner domestic violence.The Domestic Abuse Shelter, which services all of Monroe County, Florida, maintains three outreach locations – Key Largo serving the Upper Keys, Marathon serving the Middle Keys, and Key West serving the Lower Keys. The Domestic Abuse Shelter specializes only in intimate partner violence.They provide emergency shelter and a 24/7 crisis line, to which all services can be accessed.“Domestic violence and intimate partner violence is a power and control issue,” explains Sherrie. “It’s pervasive situations that are ongoing which keep control of the intimate partner. It doesn’t necessarily have to be physical violence, although it could be.” Very often, the abuser will shift blame to their victims – “If you didn’t do this, I wouldn’t have done this.” Sadly, there isn’t a lot of awareness, with many not directly involved having the false sense that it doesn’t happen in their community, while it can and does. “It’s often kept behind closed doors, where people cannot see it,” summarizes Sherrie.“You are not alone,” encourages Sherrie. “There are places where you can go to find safety, and to learn ways to continue toward a life free of domestic violence. Someone cares about you.”For more information, please visit https://domesticabuseshelter.org/If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1 (800) 799-7233 / 1 (800) 799-SAFE
Oakwood, GA – Dr. Benjamin Arthur is the founder and president of Informnity LLC, a portmanteau of the words information and infinity. “We’re the ones that create and design the products used for regenerative medicine,” summarizes Dr. Arthur. “We cover many areas of this emerging discipline of healthcare which includes stem cell therapy. We believe in personalized precision medicine, since one-size-does-not-fit-all and keeping our solutions as close to their natural as possible, in product sourcing and functionality.”According to Dr. Arthur, regenerative therapy “seeks to develop procedures and products, preferably naturally sourced, to help regenerate, repair, replace, and remodel, damaged or diseased tissues or organs.”Dr. Arthur defines stem cells as “Undifferentiated cells that are defined by their capabilities to self-renew and give rise to several types of differentiated cells under the appropriate conditions.”One of the more unique and ethical aspects of Dr. Arthur is that he utilizes stem cells from either the placenta or the umbilical cord, as opposed to embryonic stem cells, which in the past, have originally raised serious ethical concerns because of their source.The products that are available through Informnity are administered either topically or via injection in the form of tissue allograft suspensions or as tissue allograft patches as opposed to an autografts. “Prevention is better than the cure,” and also “a stitch in time saves nine” concludes Dr. Arthur. “The body can also heal itself – if you can provide it with the right support.”For more information, please visit https://www.informnity.com/

Novi, MI - Research shows, as does experience, that change is often difficult and that most attempts at change fail at a staggering rate of over 70%. With over 40 years in IT and Organizational Readiness Management, Carla Lewis, founder of CJL Innovations, knows from experience how difficult change can be. She has solutions.Carla explains, “Change is propelled when something isn’t working, isn’t comfortable, isn’t giving you what you need. Change always comes with a reason, and it has to be compelling. So, on those days when the change we had planned to set in motion starts to feel hard, I ask clients, ‘How serious are you about it?’ In the absence of a compelling reason, in the absence of that compelling picture of what succeeding looks and feels like, what it means, anything can come along and bump you off your path.Carla offers Strategic Leadership Coaching that focuses on Organizational Readiness, Managing the Root of Risk, Strategic Alliance from Within, Fortifying the Future, and Reconnaissance. Her Organizational Readiness Framework© facilitates individual and organizational success on two strategic fronts. And her Readiness Recon Roadmap© guides tactical planning for leadership team responsibilities, deliverables, and timing for inclusion in the master project plan. This is grounded in harnessing the single most powerful influence for project success: leadership accountability for organizational readiness. It is time to take the chance out of change.For more information about Carla Lewis, please visit https://www.carlajlewis.com/ and https://www.thechangeportal.com
Washington, DC - According to a 2023 Gallup poll, 54% of Americans feel moral values in America are poor with 83% of Americans feeling that our morals are in decline. Dr. Jean-Francois Orsini, OP, Ph.D., KHS, founder and president of the Alexander the Great Personality Test is helping business leaders identify their moral ground.The Alexander the Great Personality Test (or The Alex Test) measures and identifies a business leader’s current alignment with the four cardinal virtues. “The four cardinal virtues are very common. Prudence is often misunderstood to mean almost being fearful. That is incorrect. Prudence is the equivalent of good judgment and involves reasoning, memory, and understanding. The second virtue is justice, the third is courage, and the last is temperance, explains Dr. Orsini.With an MBA and PhD from the Wharton School of Business, Dr. Orsini came to understand that problems in all fields of management can be best described and resolved with these four virtues. “For example, in business, communication is not the same as communicating with a teacher or with a student. In business situations, leaders must be able to help employees feel truly cared for and that changes are a win-win for everyone. When leaders can communicate a sense of justice and authentic caring, success happens.”Author of Virtue Based Management, Dr. Orsini offers his book along with The Alex Test for $49.99. The Alex Test alone is available to everyone for $1. Dr. Orsini also offers customized coaching services for business managers and executives.For more information about Jean-Francois Orsini, PhD and The Alex Test, please visit https://goalextest.com
Sherwood Park, AB - Gail McDonald is an ICF Certified Coach with a keen sense of curiosity and compassion. Beyond any of her credentials is the significance of her own journey of self-awareness, which taught her that being fearful of change is natural and we must feel that fear and shift beliefs to move outside our comfort zone. This enables us to move forward, and even more so, transcend—rising above our anxieties, circumstances, and mistakes. This is why she named her coaching practice Transcendent Self.Gail helps people succeed in both their personal and career goals.Gail also talks often about her son, who she lost last year, and how she learned (and is still learning) to focus on the positives, such as the way he lived large, (and not on the grief, emptiness, or pain.) How interesting that there are ways to use our discomfort to maintain a joyful heart!Gail creates a safe space for people to step into their own self-empowerment.Gail applies the same philosophies about choice and moving on from her personal coaching work to leadership coaching principles.Gail also notes that many of us don’t reach our full potential because we give into the inner critic. We fear we are not enough; not pretty enough or smart enough. We all have innate doubts and fears; the Amygdala part of our brain tends to sense a danger that is not truly there. Gail says we need to try overcoming such negative thought patterns and learn that there is really no good reason to sweat over things.Build the courage and confidence to know just who you really are and all that you can be.For more information about Gail and her work please visit her website www.transcendentselfco.com
Port Saint Lucie, FL -- While Dorothy Williams possessed a Master’s degree in business she didn’t really begin to capitalize on it until she became a young mother trapped by credit card debt and finding it nearly impossible to save money. That is when she did some research into smart saving habits, learned techniques from Dave Ramsey, and discovered the power of cash stuffing.A couple of years ago she launched Flower Budgets, a company that is more than just a means of saving, but also an e-commerce site selling adorable products which include budget binders and wallets.Dorothy notes that the majority of Americas are living paycheck to paycheck and looking for a way out of the trap. For her, dedicating money envelopes and folders to specific monthly purposes was the means to pay off debt and start saving a specific amount from every pay period. One of the many techniques she explains on her website and in the youtube videos is the 100 Envelope Challenge. Participants purchase a box of 100 envelopes and label them 1 to 100. Then they place progressive amounts of cash into each one of them ($1, 2,3,5,10,18, 25, 40 etc.) daily until all 100 are filled and they will discover over $5,00 has been saved! People can use plain envelopes or the specially designed, colored ,and handcrafted ones that Dorothy sells on her site (she made many of them with craft tools in the past). The envelopes and wallets come with unique styles and tracking mechanisms.Dorothy believes everyone deserves financial freedom and she is dedicated to helping people take control of their finances and saving/spending habits.For more information on Dorothy and Flower Budgets please visit her website: www.flowerbudgets.com

Research shows that approximately 30% percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage or stillbirth, and these numbers do not include the families faced with difficult decisions such as termination for medical reasons (TFMR). “I support birthing people by explaining all the options, which are incredibly overwhelming, as no one prepares for this to happen.

Palmer Lake, CO - The military and vulnerability seem like oil and water, but together, they make stronger leaders, teams, and bonds. After serving for 17 years in the Air Force, both enlisted and as an officer, Theresa “Athena” Gathers has experienced the power of vulnerability. “Yes, there are reasons why the military, or any system, operates the way it does. But transformational leaders must expand their skillsets in order to be successful. People need more than rules and regulations. They want to be valued and cared for. Even in the military, I showed those I led every single day how much they meant to me,” shares Theresa.After reading Brené Brown’s book, Dare to Lead, Theresa had to read all of Brené’s books.For the last few years, Theresa has been building Athena UNCHAINED to provide people with a supportive space to connect with themselves on a deeper level, uncover their intuition, and take control of their lives.In May 2024, she published Conversations UNCHAINED. “I wish I had this book throughout my leadership journey. It came out of a workshop that I created in June 2023 for the Joint Women’s Leadership Symposium, which is comprised of all six branches of the military. The book centers around the concept of cultivating ACT – authenticity, connection, and transparency, and walks through developing an approach to five types of critical conversations: task-oriented, performance-based, personnel-related, climate/culture, and contentious. In addition to the book, I also offer a one-day workshop for small to medium businesses, both online and in person, that gives a deep dive into these concepts.”For more information about Theresa Gathers, please visit https://www.athenaunchained.com
Charlottesville, VA - Irene Bradford, PhD has over 30 years of leadership experience which encompasses a time when she had a topnotch role in the financial industry, but sensed it was not her true calling. Her real passion was knowing people, their identities, goals, strengths, and motivations. So, she pursued Psychology first, with an MA in Counseling, and then a PhD in Clinical Psychology. Young Irene became a doctor but not in the medical sense her father once envisioned.Dr. Bradford’s special insight into people’s strengths and leadership style help to set her apart as a leadership coach. Knowing that she has done her own dreamwork and it won’t feel like a doctor-patient relationship but more like a conversation with someone who has been down this river before is yet another distinction for this leadership development professional.Her unique systems, tools, and psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories are used while helping people uncover it all.Dr. Bradford has a singular method of guiding clients towards getting to know themselves. It is grounded in psychology, and she once maintained a small clinical practice. She co-founded (with now-retired husband and partner Bob) The Bradford Leadership Group in 2004. Client missions include staffing support, leadership development services, or someone to help them develop bench strengths.Dr. Bradford put some of this strategic approach into a book manuscript that she is currently shopping around to publishers. The book’s title is Being You: We Are So Much More Than an Algorithm.For more information about Dr. Bradford and her work, please visit the website that bears her name: www.irenebradford.com

Winchester, OH - Dr. James Obney has spent his life preparing to run a medical system. As a practicing Cardiothoracic surgeon skilled in robotic surgery, he holds a Master of Jurisprudence in health care law, policy, and management from Texas A&M University School of Law, and served 17-years in the military. “I am passionate about learning, and am always learning something new,” shares Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney loves learning and operating so much, he is also trained as a robotic lung surgeon. “Operating robotically is a completely different technique, much less invasive than traditional surgery. With robotic surgery, the surgeon controls up to four different instruments while sitting at a computer console—you’re not even standing next to the patient.,” explains Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney pursued a Master of Jurisprudence degree. “I see a lot that can be improved and it’s a challenge. Health insurance companies currently play a big role running the show. They determine what kind of fees will reimburse for what services. Physicians see allowed fees as independent of the amount of work required. When we seek medical help, we are definitely not going into our doctors who help us and we pay them. That system is gone, and what’s happening, in my mind, is just out of control. So, this is an area that can be debated and addressed through administration. America, by far, offers the very best healthcare in the world in terms of the delivery. I’m still not sure I know how the system got this way, but I hope to help open the debate.”For more information about Dr. James Obney, please email seamusmd@aol.com
Albany, NY - What exactly do diversity, equity, and inclusion mean? According to Professor Tamu Chambers of Hudson Valley Community College, “Diversity, equity, and inclusion translate to a better understanding of each other. When someone lives differently than you, talks differently, walks differently, loves differently, believes in God differently, that just means that person has something to give. When we understand that everyone has something to offer, we are more able to respect our differences. We are all special. Understanding and respect are the keys.”As a UNITE leader, Professor Chambers is working to teach students from different cultures that they’re often not all that different.When some people hear about DEI, they’re concerned someone wants to take away their traditions. “Too many think one group wants to take over—that is not the case. Everyone wants to have opportunities, to participate, and that’s what DEI provides. DEI is not about someone coming along taking anything away. This is why education is so important,” shares Dr. Chambers.At Hudson Valley Community College, Professor Chambers is happily celebrating as many traditions as possible. “Every month we have something to celebrate, from St. Patrick’s Day to Black History and Women’s History. I love to dress up, so for me, DEI is a wonderful opportunity to try out new outfits, for example, a jahab for Muslim students. And how much fun is mehndi! All cultures have special days and they’re all fun. If people are willing to at least try new ideas and celebrations, confusion and fear just melt away.”For more information about Tamu Chambers and Hudson Valley Community College, please visit https://theprofessorschambers.com/

Because I would travel a lot from country to country, I found it more convenient to train people at home.”As for the future, Esther looks to create online content where she educates others about health. Esther plans to launch this during 2025.

At the age of 16, she went to her mother’s medicine cabinet, grabbed a handful of pill bottles with every intent to kill herself.That all changed in January 2008 when Kimberley was pregnant with her first daughter and second baby. “I received a phone call that my 22-year-old sister had taken her own life,” shares Kimberley.“8 months pregnant, 3 days after Christmas, I got a phone call saying, ‘Your mother has been shot.’ She had killed herself in the same manner as my sister, except Mom did a suicide note to me.”That’s when Kim looked at her husband and said, “I cannot do this anymore.

Palmer Lake, CO - The military and vulnerability seem like oil and water, but together, they make stronger leaders, teams, and bonds. After serving for 17 years in the Air Force, both enlisted and as an officer, Theresa “Athena” Gathers has experienced the power of vulnerability. “Yes, there are reasons why the military, or any system, operates the way it does. But transformational leaders must expand their skillsets in order to be successful. People need more than rules and regulations. They want to be valued and cared for. Even in the military, I showed those I led every single day how much they meant to me,” shares Theresa.After reading Brené Brown’s book, Dare to Lead, Theresa had to read all of Brené’s books.For the last few years, Theresa has been building Athena UNCHAINED to provide people with a supportive space to connect with themselves on a deeper level, uncover their intuition, and take control of their lives.In May 2024, she published Conversations UNCHAINED. “I wish I had this book throughout my leadership journey. It came out of a workshop that I created in June 2023 for the Joint Women’s Leadership Symposium, which is comprised of all six branches of the military. The book centers around the concept of cultivating ACT – authenticity, connection, and transparency, and walks through developing an approach to five types of critical conversations: task-oriented, performance-based, personnel-related, climate/culture, and contentious. In addition to the book, I also offer a one-day workshop for small to medium businesses, both online and in person, that gives a deep dive into these concepts.”For more information about Theresa Gathers, please visit https://www.athenaunchained.com

West Edina, MN - What do Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, George Clooney, and Kathleen Turner have in common? They suffer from Cervical Dystonia, which affects an estimated 60,000 people every year. Lisbeth Overton, RN and coach is on a mission to help women overcome the pain, anxiety, and fear of this mysterious and debilitating condition.“Cervical Dystonia is a neurological disorder, also known as a movement disorder, where communication from the brain to the body does not work properly and causes muscle spasms in the neck which creates abnormal postures and movements. The head can position itself in a forward, backward, left or right lateral position and remain stuck. The presentation can also involve twisting of the neck. A person can also have a head tremor where the head is moving involuntarily with repetitive movements. Cervical Dystonia affects women twice as often as men and tends to occur between the ages of 40 and 60. We don’t really know why people have this condition,” explains Lisbeth. The biggest problem is that we don’t yet have a diagnostic tool other than the patient’s report and physical exam to diagnose this condition.”As a nurse who is living with Cervical Dystonia, Lisbeth is uniquely qualified to help.“I also offer a podcast, A Divine Twist, to shine a light on Cervical Dystonia by interviewing people living with this, as well researchers and providers who are working with the condition.”Lisbeth is helping organize Zoo Day in the Twin Cities this year.

Winchester, OH - Dr. James Obney has spent his life preparing to run a medical system. As a practicing Cardiothoracic surgeon skilled in robotic surgery, he holds a Master of Jurisprudence in health care law, policy, and management from Texas A&M University School of Law, and served 17-years in the military. “I am passionate about learning, and am always learning something new,” shares Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney loves learning and operating so much, he is also trained as a robotic lung surgeon. “Operating robotically is a completely different technique, much less invasive than traditional surgery. With robotic surgery, the surgeon controls up to four different instruments while sitting at a computer console—you’re not even standing next to the patient.,” explains Dr. Obney.Dr. Obney pursued a Master of Jurisprudence degree. “I see a lot that can be improved and it’s a challenge. Health insurance companies currently play a big role running the show. They determine what kind of fees will reimburse for what services. Physicians see allowed fees as independent of the amount of work required. When we seek medical help, we are definitely not going into our doctors who help us and we pay them. That system is gone, and what’s happening, in my mind, is just out of control. So, this is an area that can be debated and addressed through administration. America, by far, offers the very best healthcare in the world in terms of the delivery. I’m still not sure I know how the system got this way, but I hope to help open the debate.”For more information about Dr. James Obney, please email seamusmd@aol.com
Foley, AL – Michael Donohoe is the president of Preparedness Plus. Founded in 2024, it serves as the culmination of his decades-long experience in the U.S. Coast Guard, and as a civilian, handling, preventing, and mitigating the effects of oil and hazardous material spills.“I travel around the world visiting bulk storage facilities, helping them assess, and hopefully improve their overall prevention, preparedness, and response programs for oil receipt, storage and distribution,” summarizes Michael.“One of the big concerns is when you have large quantities of fuel stored, you have the potential for small and large oil spills,” explains Michael. “After the Exxon-Valdez Oil Spill, there was a new piece of legislation known as the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. It really stepped up the game in terms of expectations – especially crafting preparedness plans to respond to oil spills.”“Unfortunately, a lot of people get a plan written, but they don’t necessarily develop the details on HOW they are going to execute the plan,” Michael believes.“As for the future regarding Preparedness Plus, I am primarily available to help organizations examine their thoughts on preparedness, and what we can do so that they understand their preparedness process,” explains Michael/“When you have a task, don’t just think about completing the task,” encourages Michael. “Think about the value that you achieve, when the task that you complete, delivers a quality OUTCOME for you, your organization and the environment.”For more information, please visit https://www.preparedness-plus.com/
Cedar Park, TX - As founder of 6SStrategies and co-founder of The Tucker Project, Jennifer Stevens is seeing firsthand what is happening on our southern border and to our children. “The media just isn’t reporting the severity of what’s happening with Fentanyl. 98 percent of every single drug (not just pills …heroin cocaine meth and ecstasy) that has been seized at the border is laced with Fentanyl, and close to 80% has been laced with a deadly amount of fentanyl which is equal to three grains of salt.For Jennifer, the opiate problem is personal. “I have three godchildren who spend a lot of time with me now because they lost their mother to addiction.Jennifer explains, “We started hearing about Fentanyl about three or four years ago, and we know much of it is coming from Chinese cartels. The situation got bad in 2020 when the current administration left our borders open. Since then, Fentanyl has killed more people than our largest wars combined, and in the US, we are losing a classroom full of kids every day.”When Jennifer is not working on the Tucker Project, 6S Strategies keeps her busy. “6S is a full-service education and government affairs consulting firm.

Gainesville, FL - Although the study of exosomes is still in its infancy, Mercedes Kweh, Ph.D. of KweHealth wants everyone to know how cool exosomes truly are. “Essentially, exosomes are like bubbles formed by our cells that carry biomaterial, and what makes them so remarkable, is that exosomes are actually how cells communicate,” explains Mercedes. “For a long time, we thought that the cells in cellular therapy were the key players. However, now we are learning that much of their functionality is a result of the signaling aspect of exosomes—not of the cells themselves”.Researchers are looking into how to package therapies for exosome delivery. “By utilizing exosomes, we can deliver essential factors, such as proteins and RNAs, directly to where our body needs it. This capability opens up new avenues for treating complex conditions, which is very exciting,” shares Mercedes. “Pharmaceutical drugs typically focus on addressing a single problem. However, exosomes offer a unique advantage: they provide a means of delivering treatments that are multi-functional. This capability allows us to address multiple aspects of a disease simultaneously, rather than targeting just one symptom or condition."KweHealth is also focusing on neurodegenerative disorders.What is known is that exosomes are great at delivering messages. “In the not-so-distant future, exosomes will be used to instruct cancers to self-destruct. They will signal skin cells to start regenerating and they will communicate to a site of injury to start angiogenesis, and promote the growth of new blood vessels. So yes, with exosomes, it’s all about delivery.”For more information about Mercedes Kweh, please visit https://www.kwehealth.com

They will signal skin cells to start regenerating and they will communicate to a site of injury to start angiogenesis, and promote the growth of new blood vessels. So yes, with exosomes, it’s all about delivery.”For more information about Mercedes Kweh, please visit https://www.kwehealth.com

Sociologist and advocate Nanette Davis, Ph.D. wants everyone to know that mental illness is not only a mental disorder, but also a physical disease. “The topic of mental illness is slow to percolate through our culture.

He has served in capacities (not a chronological list) that included successful junior jobs, commanding officer, executive officer, Warfare R&D (Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Warfare Defense), and other officer positions. He holds a Dedicated Service Award, an Anchor Award, a Presidential Valuable Service Award, and was honored with many other recognitions during his tenure and reserve time.He has participated in many impactful committees, both Naval, Federal, and civilian. Captain Little served on a destroyer during the Vietnam War, and recent findings show just how historically valuable what the Army and Marine Corps accomplished together for our country was back then ( in establishing the gun line.)Just prior to beginning his naval career, Captain Little earned his Master’s Degree in Animal Sciences. People would always tease him about what that might have to do with being in the Navy or steering a huge ship. One area that readily connects is in maintaining careful logs of data (for instance on a female horse’s production of colts.) You see Captain Little has a special passion for the wild mustang population in America, aiming to help keep them roaming free and their bloodline pure.Captain Little has a noticeable sense of purpose and integrity, a soft Southern voice, and clear intelligence and wit. One favorite quote of his came from one-time President Calvin Coolidge.Morgan Little is now into his eighties and still he presses on. He might live to be 100 and add to his legacy story.Visit Captain Morgan Little profile on LinkedIn
Lutz, FL - With many Americans feeling an economic squeeze at the grocery store and with housing, John Silvia wants you to know that the situation is improving. “The cost of living is an interesting subject. From the policy maker’s point of view, the Federal Reserve, the Administration, the argument is that the rate of inflation has come down over the last 18 months. That’s a very positive development. The problem is that on an individual level, people are seeing that eggs are up 100% over what they were seeing 4 years ago. Meat, coffee, bread, all those essentials are up. For many, prices have gone up faster than wages or income. For many, real income has actually declined over the last 3 years because inflation has picked up at a faster pace than wages and salaries. We see this convergence more critically than we did in the last 2 decades. So there is a big disparity.”Author of 4 books on economics, John’s latest book, Financial Markets and Economic Performance: A Model for Effective Decision Making, focuses on the details and mechanics of the economy and the financial system. “It’s not glamorous, not about making a ton of money after investing for 5 days. It’s about the fundamentals of economics and finance that came out of an MBA course I taught at Lake Forest University and Northwestern University.”Although officially retired, John is in demand offering limited consulting services to investment managers, bankers, and finance experts around the world through his consulting company, Dynamic Economic Strategy. He also lectures and holds seminars for select groups, and offers a weekly newsletter for subscribers at JohnSilvia.com/newsletters.For more information about our guest please visit https://www.johnesilvia.com/

Orlando, FL -- Patricia Burlaud is a respected speaker and executive coach, a member of the Forbes Coaches Council, and the owner of P. Burlaud Consulting.“Human needs are the same in every geographical location, but the filters of each culture make certain approaches problematic. Once I open the world to one of my clients, they realize leadership is different than what they might have learned from any book, job situation, or program.”She stresses that when women focus on being businesswomen or company leaders, they must act in a certain way. As they develop awareness, they realize human skills and leadership might not align with who they are-- with the inner self or leadership style, which is not as dry or mechanical as we once thought. Decision making requires more than a toolbox, you have to integrate the personalities of the leaders and the team into it all. Doctor Burlaud shares such advice for women leaders as a board member of 100 Women Strong, an executive coalition and giving circle in her home state of Florida.Ms. Burlaud hopes to meet more clients who are at the senior management through executive VP level, and owners of individual companies with 100 or more employees. She can help them enroll now for her 2025 Master Class and learn some principles from her forthcoming book -- which equates leadership skills with those used in the game of golf. The Golf Game of Leadership is about how we align our thinking and find our way through the toughest challenges, both on the course and in business doings. Be sure to hear this powerhouse.For more information about this coach, speaker, women’s advocate, and more, please visit: www.pburlaud-consulting.com

Sarasota, FL - Until the 1950s, most people were born and died at home. Many aspects of life have been medicalized, including death and dying. “Today, most of us are uncomfortable and unfamiliar with being with someone who is dying,” explains Sally Gabriel of Epilogue End of Life Care. “In the past, family members held a vigil and sat with a family member until they died. In the 19th century, the deceased family members were laid out in the parlor, in what we call the living room today. All that has changed as death and dying has moved away from public view; more people today die in hospitals and facilities than at home.” There’s a movement worldwide to bring death and dying back into the home and make it more personal and less medical. End-of-Life Doulas are playing a large role in making this happen.Another important role of an EOLD is advance care planning. An advance directive, which includes a living will and a health care surrogacy appointment, lets families and medical professionals know what type of care you want and don’t want when you can no longer make their own care decisions. As part of an advance care plan, a person appoints a healthcare surrogate to speak for them. Shares Sally, “We recently created the Sarasota Area End-of-Life Doula Collective and will hold workshops on advance care planning. I work with clients who want to talk about their fears of death so they can fill out their advance directives and make plans for the event of dying.A list of services Sally provides is available on her website at www.Epiloguecare.com. Visitors can find articles about death and dying on Sally’s blog.For more information about Sally Gabriel please visit https://www.epiloguecare.com

Sacramento, CA - Women are much better at handling change than men. Men are just trying to survive and too many are wondering, “Now that I am a VP and have a perfect wife, how come I’m not happy?” John Van Vleet of Susan Van Vleet Consultants, estimates “The rate of alcoholism and drug abuse in the boardroom is far greater than on the shop floor (the drugs may be prescribed but they’re still drugs). The problem is that as you move up a corporate ladder, you are allowed to express less and less emotion. Getting to the top has a subtle yet devastating effect.”The current rate of change is astronomical. Expressing emotion is the first stage of the change process. “Susan and I deliver a Managing Corporate Change© course that teaches that the first reaction to change is always emotional, putting men at a disadvantage right out of the gate. Women are much more expressive about emotions with multiple outlets for those emotion to get through this first stage.”In his Advanced Men’s Course©, which he offers every year in a retreat setting for mostly executives, John sees men struggling. “I teach this class with amazing men from all over the world; with men who know it’s possible to be better than what they are.”In addition to his Advanced Men’s Course, John offers Men Relationships, and Work© and Managing Corporate Change©, as well as individual coaching sessions, in-person and virtually.

Brookfield, WI - In this complex and ever-changing world, good leadership creates a brighter and better future for all of us. The best leaders bring new thinking, fresh perspectives, and contribute to a more inclusive world. Studies show time and time again that when leaders adopt a cognitive leadership style, it is a key component for a more productive and profitable workplace that accelerates growth, innovation, and performance. But how can we exactly identify what the qualities of a good leader are? Based on his own experience and an inquisitive perspective, Darrin S. McCall, author of the newly released book, The Recipe to Seasoned Leadership – Basic Ingredients to Transform Your Work Presence, lays out the methodology to change your leadership approach and create a more inclusive culture.Written in an upbeat conversational tone with helpful advice and personal anecdotes for reference and explanation, Darrin’s book provides practical tips and questions for deep reflection and theorizing from a practical viewpoint. Darrin delves deep into core attributes that are the paramount qualities of leadership.These attributes are the foundation and components consistently found in “seasoned leaders” within an organization. They are often carried outside the workplace and play an important role in our communities as well, as you will find out in the book.His book contains exercises, and the readers are encouraged to score themselves at the end of each chapter. Once we discover the real meaning of those attributes it shifts how leaders deliver leadership to their teams, so it is absolutely life changing.“We haven’t solved our world’s most pressing problems,” Darrin says.

Bay Village, OH - How do you learn to breathe with diminished lung capacity and still feel peace/find peace? According to Lynelle Kristine, RN, EOLD, Energetic Healing Practitioner, “When I intuitively look inside people with diminished lung capacity, be it from disease or energetic disharmony within the body, we work together to learn tools to best be able to learn how to release the energy held within to give more space to breathe, bring peace. If one has limited space due to disease, scarring, etc., we work together to learn how to expand and create space as long as able, but then also learning coping techniques to slow the breath, slow movements to conserve energy, limit stress, all to lessen the effects of ‘air hunger,’ which is often one’s greatest fear at end of life difficulty breathing. It has been beautiful to observe a patient or client use these techniques, the caregivers implementing the techniques and being patient with the slower movements or dialogue the person transitioning is needing and then watching the peaceful transition as they birth out of their body. For many Americans, the thought of death and dying is so frightening, we cannot even think about it, much less talk about it. Lynnelle saw this in her work as a pediatric oncology nurse. Since then, Lynelle has been supporting children and adults peacefully transition during and at the end of life. Families also benefit as they are able to grieve during the process, rather than clumped after.Lynelle also works with individuals and hospitals privately outside the Clinic, in-person and remotely.For more information about Lynelle Kristine, please visit her page on Facebook

Brookfield, WI - In this complex and ever-changing world, good leadership creates a brighter and better future for all of us. The best leaders bring new thinking, fresh perspectives, and contribute to a more inclusive world. Studies show time and time again that when leaders adopt a cognitive leadership style, it is a key component for a more productive and profitable workplace that accelerates growth, innovation, and performance. But how can we exactly identify what the qualities of a good leader are? Based on his own experience and an inquisitive perspective, Darrin S. McCall, author of the newly released book, The Recipe to Seasoned Leadership – Basic Ingredients to Transform Your Work Presence, lays out the methodology to change your leadership approach and create a more inclusive culture.Written in an upbeat conversational tone with helpful advice and personal anecdotes for reference and explanation, Darrin’s book provides practical tips and questions for deep reflection and theorizing from a practical viewpoint. Darrin delves deep into core attributes that are the paramount qualities of leadership.These attributes are the foundation and components consistently found in “seasoned leaders” within an organization. They are often carried outside the workplace and play an important role in our communities as well, as you will find out in the book.His book contains exercises, and the readers are encouraged to score themselves at the end of each chapter. Once we discover the real meaning of those attributes it shifts how leaders deliver leadership to their teams, so it is absolutely life changing.“We haven’t solved our world’s most pressing problems,” Darrin says.
Highland, IL - Retired Brigadier General Tom Kolditz is redefining the role of leadership. With over 35 years in leadership roles on four continents, Tom Kolditz founded Saxon Castle to offer leadership education for corporations and individuals worldwide. Clients have included Ford, GE, Google, Mercedes Benz, Boeing, All State, Goldman Sachs, as well as thousands of exceptional individuals.Tom’s 2007 release, In Extremis Leadership: Leading As If Your Life Depended On It, addresses another aspect of Tom’s expert knowledge—leadership in crisis and in dangerous circumstances. “When people feel that they are in danger, everything that we refer to as ‘management’ gets stripped away. Nobody cares; they will write any check to get out of the situation, will break rules and policies. In fear situations, it’s all pure leadership based on trust. Building trust is essential for good leadership.For a flat monthly fee based on income, Saxon Castle clients receive 2 scheduled sessions/month. “If a client would rather have 4 sessions, that’s fine, no extra charge. And if you are having a problem at three in the morning, no problem, call me. I work with clients worldwide, their time zone is my time zone.”Tom admits that his ideal clients are individuals, and his favorites are relatively young leaders with minimal experience, preferably running a company that’s success will help the world. As a teacher and professional competitive skeet shooter, he has seen how the best learners start knowing very little. “New leaders have few bad habits,” quipped Tom.For more information about General Kolditz and Saxon Castle, please visit http://tomkolditz.com/

Upper Marlboro, MD - With 98% of Americans looking for remote work, it is estimated that 32.6 million Americans will be working remotely by 2025. What does remote work mean for corporations?According to Organizational Development Consultant Pamela Dudoff, “We know that organizations perform best when they are able to create a strong culture, where employees feel there is a common purpose and feel connected to the people they work with. Today’s biggest struggle for executives and CEOs is figuring out how to create that culture of community while being respectful that employees really are capable of doing good work remotely. Remote work is outside leaders’ experiences, and managers don’t know how to create a strong culture with remote employees. The reality is that positive cultures can be cultivated remotely and a lot of leaders and managers still have the very outdated belief that people won’t do good work from home.”The role of a Coach is also very different from traditional HR. “We all have biases, what we are comfortable with. What makes coaching so valuable is we ask questions to help clients find new solutions. I like to ask, ‘What is it that makes you think that? Are there other options?’ The goal is to help clients think differently and to ask, is what they’re doing now working, and if it’s not, what else could they be doing? It’s very hard to see how things can be different on your own. That’s what a coach does—opens clients to move beyond their biases so they can see situations in a different way.

Albuquerque, NM - While Dr. Harrigan always knew she was going to become a physician, she had no idea she would find herself in a strong position to improve patient care while securing the long-term financial health of medical facilities. She got here by being opinionated.As a family medicine hospitalist at a hospital system in Albuquerque, NM, Dr. Harrigan understood the programming behind their electronic health records (EHR) system, and she had questions. “The EHR system was inefficient and had lots of room for streamlining. Because I always come to the table with solutions instead of problems, I began asking, why not do this?”EHR systems have been evolving with the goal of improving efficiency. When computers started appearing, we had a natural progression to go to electronics.Some experts have argued that EHR systems are making hospitals less efficient. Dr. Harrigan sees this as a regulatory issue.Right now, Dr. Harrigan is working as Interim Chief Medical Informatics Officer for a 22-hospital medical system in the middle of a large EHR merger. “This exciting project involves taking their existing medical records and consolidating them into one single EHR system to establish standardized practices of care. We are looking at regulatory components to determine whether or not hospital staff are in compliance. I am evaluating the entire system—policies and protocols, everything that makes a health system a true health care system,” shares Julie.As for the future, Dr. Harrigan’s finishing up a fellowship in Clinical Informatics this year as she plans to continue working with EHR systems.For more information about Dr. Julie Ann W.

Front Royal, VA - Susan O Schall PhD is one of the brightest minds of our generation and has often been saluted in the media for her accomplishments. It is not just that she has an advanced education in Engineering but that she made her entrance into the Industrial Engineering field at a time when women did not have much of a presence in STEM careers.Susan notes that there are two meanings to the name she chose for her business, SOS Consulting. Of course, it is connected to her initials and a name well known in certain circles. But there is also the maritime meaning of SOS, and when companies seek her support they usually are in need of quick help. Even her website has a meaningful URL Execute2Compete.com (once they execute the plans she designs, each firm is in a more competitive position.) Her firm focuses on organizational health, which is achieved through more effective leadership, strategic team building, clarity, and tangible opportunities for improvement. Susan and her teams collaborate with the client at every step of the engagement -- from defining the strategic goals to results. Together, they help organizations to strengthen and affirm their leadership, improve production, and better engage their employees.Susan will be appearing on Close Up Radio as part of their Empowering Women Series. She recalls a time when she was the only woman at the table during engineering meetings. Growing up as the only female in a house with three brothers taught her to speak out and stand up for herself. She is proud to be recognized as a trailblazer; someone who broke the proverbial glass ceiling.To learn more about Susan and her stellar work, visit www.execute2compete.com

Indianapolis, IN – Eve Carson is the author of the book Simple, Safe & Secret: The 1981 Murder of Joan L. Webster. Eve seeks to keep alive the memory of her sister-in-law, Joan Webster, a Harvard Student, who perished in November of 1981, under very suspicious circumstances. Despite being a cold case and meeting resistance at every turn, Eve continues to seek justice for Joan.“I investigated the investigation itself, and that’s where the problems were,” explains Eve. “It was a fabricated story – verifiably false. Authorities even today have circled the wagons to cover up malfeasance. There are a lot of things that can contribute to authorities being involved.”In this new two-part radio series, Eve will offer a more detailed perspective surrounding this decades long cold case. Some of the material that Eve will discuss includes the cab driver at Logan Airport that last saw Joan alive, observations surrounding the Webster family, and how the documents that she was able to acquire do not match up with the investigation. She then will conclude with her views on how this case can and should be resolved. “To be silent, would make me complicit,” declares Eve. “Knowledge is very empowering, and has been healing in some regards.”Eve actively calls for justice even to this day.

Englewood, FL -- Denise Clark is a long-time nurse with a mission: to help attorneys and plaintiffs win their cases, and to help spread the word that this specialty she considers her second career exists.Denise was always a skilled RN interested in expanding her knowledge base, in fact she has a Board Certification in Emergency Nursing, a clinical area she worked in for about 35 years. Few nurses have the initiative to undergo additional training and sit for an exam to attain that honor. Denise then went on to explore a new career, one that would utilize her clinical instincts and ability to explain things to patients in terms they could grasp. It was also a career that had more flexibility in scheduling. Denise is now an independent Legal Nurse Consultant with full certification.It means she is a nurse who gives attorneys involved in medical cases a competitive edge, helping them analyze electronic medial records, develop reports and discovery questions, and prepare briefs or depositions.“As an ER nurse there were many times I had to explain things to a patient. The doctors didn’t have time or used complicated terms. This is similar. We collaborate with attorneys to educate them and their clients on the nursing aspect of what happened to the patient. It helps jurors understand once the case goes to court. This is also lifesaving work.”All those years in the Emergency Department helped Denise realize that no two cases are ever the same, even people with the same symptoms or diagnosis are after all, two different people, with distinct needs and desires that have to be taken into account.For more information about Denise and her work visit https://www.deniseclarklegalnurseconsultant.com

With her IT background, a Master's in Science and Technology, and a Doctorate in Business and Innovation, she is excited to help IT rethink how it engages with supply chains, rethink how they build and consume services, and rethink the challenges of product lifecycle."When you consider that humans are depleting Earth's resources so quickly and creating so much waste, that by 2030 we're going to need two planets to continue live, the message comes home. What we're doing today impacts our future. ReThink Strategies’ objective is to help shape our future so we can sustainably live on this one planet."The word sustainability is very broad. Too many people immediately imagine tree-hugger. To add to this confusion, sustainability has different meanings to various industries and businesses. For Katia, addressing sustainability in IT is incredibly exciting because it's invisible.If they aren’t already, businesses will start feeling pressure to report on these ESG activities (especially those that are SEC-based) . All businesses working or selling in the EU will have to adapt, and of course, if their consumers start to make sustainability important to their buying decisions, that will help create change. These companies have to begin rethinking now. ReThinkIt Strategies is ready to help guide them today for a sustainable tomorrow.For more information about Katia Chaban and ReThinkit Strategies, please visit https://www.rethinkitstrategies.com/
Indianapolis, IN – Eve Carson is the author of the book Simple, Safe & Secret: The 1981 Murder of Joan L. Webster. Eve seeks to keep alive the memory of her sister-in-law, Joan Webster, a Harvard Student, who perished in November of 1981, under very suspicious circumstances. Despite being a cold case and meeting resistance at every turn, Eve continues to seek justice for Joan.“I investigated the investigation itself, and that’s where the problems were,” explains Eve. “It was a fabricated story – verifiably false. Authorities even today have circled the wagons to cover up malfeasance. There are a lot of things that can contribute to authorities being involved.”In this new two-part radio series, Eve will offer a more detailed perspective surrounding this decades long cold case. Some of the material that Eve will discuss includes the cab driver at Logan Airport that last saw Joan alive, observations surrounding the Webster family, and how the documents that she was able to acquire do not match up with the investigation. She then will conclude with her views on how this case can and should be resolved. “To be silent, would make me complicit,” declares Eve. “Knowledge is very empowering, and has been healing in some regards.”Eve actively calls for justice even to this day. In fact, she is in the process of starting a nonprofit called Victims of Injustice Speak (VOIS).For more information, please visit https://www.justiceforjoanwebster.com/To purchase Eve’s book, please visit Genius Book
Phoenix, AZ – According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as reported by Fundera, approximately 20% of small businesses fail within the first year. By the end of the second year, 30% of businesses will have failed. For too many of us, success can be elusive. According to Kathy Taylor Salsbury of TaylorMade Consultants, that's because we all define success differently. "We all have different meters for success," explains Kathy."For example, one person can feel successful after 30 years on the job, while another will find that lifestyle stifling," Kathy elaborates. Entrepreneurs first need to think about how they define success."I created TaylorMade Consultants to eliminate these roadblocks to success," Kathy shares. "I'm also thrilled to be creating a legacy for my family with this family-run business."Kathy and her daughter, Jazzmine Jacks, also offer personal styling services. "We've had clients who just didn't know what to wear to a meeting, so we go shopping for them, help with makeup, and work on presentation skills." TaylorMade doesn't stop there—personal style and branding is also offered for social media and websites.TaylorMade also offers financing support, collaborating with lenders which work with challenging credit.TaylorMade Consultants offers free 15-minute consultations. As Kathy explains, "I am in this for the joy of seeing people succeed. Taylormade's goal is to improve the percentage of failed businesses statistic in the best way that we can."For more information about Kathy Taylor Saulsberry and TaylorMade Consultants, please visit https://www.taylormadeconsultants.ne

Neither as a medical doctor, nor having a doctorate, his highest education is a master’s degree.“A perfusionist is a highly trained medical professional that works mainly in cardiac and pulmonary surgery to assist the blood flow during such surgeries,” explains Ralph. “The devices known as a cardiopulmonary bypass machine or a bypass heart-lung machine, acts as the heart and lungs during heart and lung surgeries. It contains an oxygenator, a reservoir, tubing, and a pump. The oxygenator is similar to the lungs. The reservoir is to hold the blood. Tubing connects from the reservoir to the pump which acts as the heart.”He also started a charity known as Friends of Togo. Having become an official nonprofit in 2021 and later earing the 501c3 status from the Internal Revenue Service in 2023, Friends of Togo pays it forward to Ralph’s native country of Togo by improving education and health. In terms of education, his nonprofit provides school supplies to students and supports teachers by building classrooms. His ultimate goal is to build a library. In terms of health, one key objective of Friends of Togo is to vaccinate children against preventable diseases.Through his medical skills and his nonprofit, Ralph hopes to one day bring cardiac surgery to Togo.

San Diego, CA -- Edward Smink, PhD is a mostly retired caregiver who nearly lost it all until he came to the realization that he had an issue that he could not solve alone. He reached out for help and he credits his coach in saving his life. He learned the value of self-care, sharing his story, and valuing his emotions. Now he runs a coaching business, publishes books, and speaks on the topic of The Soul of Caregiving.Dr. Smink notes that caregiving is a dance, a dance between caring for others and selfcare. We are hardwired as humans to give instead of receive, and we frequently neglect to care for our own selves. He has defined the term compassion fatigue, which is different from burnout, as being exhausted from doing something that you love to the point where it hurts.Whether the caregiver is a family member, a healthcare worker, or a first responder such as a fireman, they can all reach that same point of exhaustion. They care because they are human. In his radio show, he will go over what he calls The Big Three Cultural Taboos caregivers face. Healing means to do the opposite of what we were culturally taught.Dr. Smink will also talk about the new edition of his book which has questions and pages one can use to journal. It is not a how-to book, but a series of stories that will inspire caregivers and help them reflect on their individual emotions and experiences. It can help the provider do what they do best and still be supportive—without feeling overburdened or alone.“Caregivers are notorious for not developing skills of self-care. Yet it’s not their fault alone,” he stresses.For more information about the business and book please visit https://www.soulofcaregiving.com

This inspirational book provides a roadmap to overcome self-doubt and trauma and build a more abundant life.Kathy says that often we don’t adequately process trauma and stress through our lymphatic system, and it can alter our biochemistry and create disease. Once we learn about the quantum energy field, it can all be released or transmuted. It is also important to rewire our brains to generate new, more positive beliefsAs a coach she helps people acknowledge their unprocessed trauma and cut the ties to anything that is disempowering. She guides them to understand the signals from their body and make a wise decision on what to do next. Some of her teaching is based on the universal laws of attraction, but Kathy notes that no one combines this with energy healing and empowerment tools quite the way she does. Kathy helps people realize that we can create ourselves and our futures.“We can all create a new chapter and a new identity. Find the transition point and then, wow! It’s like a second puberty.

She has paid it forward by shifting her focus to training and mentoring other auditors.“I am not a financial auditor for the IRS,” clarifies Jenniffer. “I am a performance auditor in the oversight community that helps to promote efficiency and effectiveness in agency programs and operations.”“I have a lot of international experience combined with domestic experience, recalls Jenniffer. “The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DODIG) is where I started my work. I then moved to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is where I temporarily stepped out of the audit world and became a certified project manager for information technology and got involved in major transformational initiatives.

The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) is where I became a board-certified senior executive.

Gambrills, MD – Dr. Richard Benjamin is currently doing economic consulting in the realm of energy. This encompasses various sub-disciplines within energy economics.Currently, his focus is on the development of renewable energy resources. He plans to offer a research proposal to optimize the integration of variable, renewable, energy resources on electric grid operations. The paper in which Dr. Benjamin intends to do this is titled Optimal Pacing of the Energy Transition. He plans to submit it to energy publications, with the goal that it will also be seen by politicians, academia, and especially the general public.“It’s regarding the necessity of firming up variable and renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar, through technologies such as energy storage while maintaining enough natural-gas-fired electrical generation to ensure the reliable transition of the grid to greater renewable penetration,” explains Dr. Benjamin. “The most basic issue that the world is dealing with right now is the transition to renewable energy in hope of attaining a lower carbon footprint. The issue is regarding energy windmills and solar and having so much renewable energy being produced on the grid. With renewable energy, the issue is variability. With renewables, you need to have a backup generation available to pick up the slack that wind and solar create when you aren’t getting much energy from them. That puts more stress on fossil fuel facilities.”“It’s not necessary that we be in a great rush that we reach a certain amount of renewable energy usage within a specific timeline,” concludes Dr. Benjamin.

Kearney, NE - Doris Burby can help you finally meet the guy of your dreams. As a certified Jungian life, Jungian mindset, and relationship specialist coach, Doris’ work is focused on working with our unconscious mind.Doris explains in most cases, we choose these wrong partners for a variety of psychological reasons. We are literally attracting someone based on our unconscious so our unconscious attracts someone else’s unconsciousness. It’s a recipe for disaster.According to Doris, we need to evolve and develop psychologically, and when we do so we won’t attract these types of people anymore.So until we change ourselves, we will not only attract the same guys, but we will continually fill our wounds with alcohol, over spending, eating junk food, and vaping, and other maladaptive habits. When we find our romantic partners, we hope they will fill the void and rescue us. We expect them to give us something that we lack in ourselves. But that’s not what a partner is meant to do. Not until we do our inner work, and embrace the amazing potential we have, can we ever find the right relationship no matter where we search.The answer resides in the unconscious, and Doris with her warm, practical, down to earth nature, expertly and magnificently assists us in doing the inner work. By asking us the right questions and helping us dig deep, she probes us into finding what we can’t see. Finally, we can love our authentic selves and let go of all the unconscious patterns that have been holding us back from genuine happiness.Through her intense coaching work, Doris helps us connect with ourselves, find inner happiness, gratitude, and self-acceptance.For more information, visit https://dorislifecoach.com/

BILLINGS, MT -- Jennifer Tipton is a model of tenacity both for her work as an entrepreneur and previous career as an equine (horse) dentist. For years she bonded with animals, observing their behaviors, and understanding some of their natural grooming tendencies. She noted what felt good and comfortable and also what tugged, itched, or prickled during grooming times. It led her to develop an innovative grooming tool that can make any type of curly, shaggy, wiry, or horribly long coat neater and sleeker. Because it performs so quickly and simply, she worked the word easy into its name – SleekEZ.In 2018, Jennifer’s SleekEZ (www.sleekEZ.com), became one of the top selling products on Amazon. But the journey of this specially bladed and toothed comb was long and hard, including personal battles with early stakeholders, resistance from patent attorneys, and rip offs by certain marketers and distributors. Jennifer launched the fledgling company with her own money and has since become an expert at living simply (instead of with extensive debt.) She even bought her last home for all cash.Jennifer is a true animal lover and has always lived with a 4-legged family. For many years she was situated in Billings Montana. Most recently she has been living “off the grid” in a 40’ trailer with acres of land around her. She has 6 horses and 6 dogs with her, one of them just turned 14. Jennifer says the dogs are her eyes and ears in a remote area akin to the Wild West of US past. The animals also enjoy their property in the Northeast corner of Nevada which includes a creek that runs into a mysterious underground river. And that is just the tip of the phenomena around her.To learn more about Jennifer’s history and products visit www.sleekez.com
Peterborough, NH – Deb Mills is an Energy Medicine Practitioner and the founder of The Radiant Soul. Established in 2019, her primary focus is using Biofield Tuning to help bring harmony and wellness back to our systems.Biofield Tuning is a form of sound healing, developed by Eileen McKusick, that uses tuning forks in our energy field to help clear up the static and noise in our system. Where does this “noise” come from? Every thought, every emotion, every life situation affects our personal energy. Unprocessed emotions, negative thought patterns, or any kind of trauma, can trap energy in our field. The result is that this energy is no longer in flow. Using this transformational energy healing technique, the tuning fork’s coherent sound helps the body recognize the distortions and bring them back into balance.Deb’s healing journey started when she was in the hospital for a chronic illness and a volunteer did Reiki on her. This opened her to the world of energy medicine. With 30 years of experience as a research scientist in Academia and the Biotech industry, Deb is always interested in learning. Since that first experience of Reiki, she has studied to become a Reiki Master, a Certified Crystal Healer, attended the Rhys Thomas Institute for Energy Medicine, and became a Biofield Tuning Practitioner.Deb’s mission is to help people feel seen and heard; to break down the walls that are holding them back from living up to their highest potential, so their inner light can shine through, and they can experience happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in their lives.

Morris, IL – Garrett Glass is the author of several historical fiction books which provide hypothetical, non-canonical accounts surrounding the growth of Christianity as described in The Bible. His first book in the series starts on the day of Christ’s crucifixion, and from there his books contrast two storylines: the path the earliest followers of Jesus took in response to his death; and the response of the Roman empire to this growing threat to imperial rule.“The focus of these books is to contrast what was going on at the highest levels of the Roman Empire, against the activities and struggles of the small Christian communities that were popping up in all major cities of the Empire,” summarizes Garrett. “My approach is not to make this Biblical, though I am using individuals cited in The Bible. In writing Jehoshua: Signs and Wonders, and Jehoshua: Conflagration, I tried to explain why people at the time would construe certain events as miracles. Fundamentally, my novels follow major events as described in The Bible, or in the historical record.”As a result of the Jesus Movement, Garrett became disenfranchised with the Catholic Church and religion.To explain his own religious beliefs, Garrett authored Who Cuts God’s Hair. “I describe myself as an atheist, but with a big difference,” says Garrett. “I believe God exists, but I also know where he lives. In Who Cuts God’s Hair, I establish both where he resides, and why belief in God is the default position of mankind. It’s not delusional to believe in God.”For more information, please visit https://whocutgodshair.com/
Auburn Hills, MI – Tarla Gernert is the founder of Homeschool Connections Educational Services, a homeschooling program based in Southeast Michigan. By utilizing classroom-like facilities, such as in churches, Homeschool Connections has provided a plethora of interesting, in-person classes for homeschoolers since 2002 and currently maintains five different campuses throughout the region.Tarla identifies several myths around homeschooling. One is that the student is home all the time and has virtually no socialization with peers. Another, is that the parent has to teach their children everything themselves. A third myth is that homeschooling children miss out on many opportunities that other children have. Fourth, and most pertinent to current trends, is that a remote, online curriculum is best, but what Tarla expresses is that homeschooling can be very different.“We provide educational opportunities for people who homeschool their kids,” explains Tarla. “We offer interesting classes taught by people who are passionate about what they know and want to pass that on to our students. Parents pick and choose the classes they want their child to take for the semester or year. Our classes are hands-on, and activity-based so It’s multifaceted learning where the students are engaged and everyone is participating. It’s designed similar to a college model, where the students get a syllabus, have to be prepared for class, and come in-person once a week for classes to do labs, experiments, projects, and activities that will enhance their learning.”“Homeschooling is like a secret door,” concludes Tarla. “Whenever you enter into it, you find a rich, full world of learning opportunities to help you educate your children.”For more information, please visit https://www.mihomeschool.com/

BILLINGS, MT -- Jennifer Tipton is a model of tenacity both for her work as an entrepreneur and previous career as an equine (horse) dentist. For years she bonded with animals, observing their behaviors, and understanding some of their natural grooming tendencies. She noted what felt good and comfortable and also what tugged, itched, or prickled during grooming times. It led her to develop an innovative grooming tool that can make any type of curly, shaggy, wiry, or horribly long coat neater and sleeker. Because it performs so quickly and simply, she worked the word easy into its name – SleekEZ.In 2018, Jennifer’s SleekEZ (www.sleekEZ.com), became one of the top selling products on Amazon. But the journey of this specially bladed and toothed comb was long and hard, including personal battles with early stakeholders, resistance from patent attorneys, and rip offs by certain marketers and distributors. Jennifer launched the fledgling company with her own money and has since become an expert at living simply (instead of with extensive debt.) She even bought her last home for all cash.Jennifer is a true animal lover and has always lived with a 4-legged family. For many years she was situated in Billings Montana. Most recently she has been living “off the grid” in a 40’ trailer with acres of land around her. She has 6 horses and 6 dogs with her, one of them just turned 14.

And that is just the tip of the phenomena around her.To learn more about Jennifer’s history and products visit www.sleekez.com
LAS VEGAS, NV - Madison Gulli is a professional known as a sexologist, which is not a term everyone will immediately get, but makes perfect sense—she is a trained clinical psychotherapist who focuses on issues that relate to sex. After obtaining her Master’s Degree and Licensure in Marital and Family Therapy, Madison decided the area she wanted to focus on next was sex, which can actually be a mental health issue but is often just a matter of wanting to have more enjoyable sexual relations..She coaches people on many things that can interfere with their bliss—whether it is a matter of fears, rigid cultural upbringing, changing hormones due to childbirth or aging, or loss of libido. Many occurrences– even just the pressure of managing bills and daily life—can leave people feeling they are not themselves. Add in family demands and depressing current events, and it’s difficult to maintain one’s enthusiasm nowadays.“People should not be too worried about life, and particularly, a sex life. Individuals, both men and women, need to be adventurous, playful.”Giving and receiving pleasure, she says, should not be a teeter totter. Both men and woman need to understand they can give or accept pleasure without a sense of obligation.“Sometimes one partner, or a couple, will come to realize that what happened in the past may not be sufficient now. They want to deepen their understanding of different skills and techniques. To learn to relate to the other one with a richer level of intimacy. I help them achieve their goals.”For more information about Madison and her work, please visit www.madisongulli.com

Las Vegas, NV -- Dr. Adah Kennon has accomplished much but she is perhaps best known for her work as a novelist – writing romance novels that feature characters treated unfairly through no fault of their own, or who make self-destructive decisions. Free will is the unknown element. Will they overcome barriers which stand between them and their ability to evolve, accept help from the most unlikely sources and reach their true destiny?A prime example is her most recent novel. The Blessing: Responsibility to Redemption is paranormal in nature. The main character, Ra, is a walking, talking aura that can shape shift and move from ethereal to human form to carry-out his mission in different dimensions. A stand-alone product in it’s own right, The Blessing: Responsibility to Redemption is the first book in the Your Vibe…Now Mine trilogy. The provocative story line makes it Adah’s personal favorite and she hopes it will evolve into a television series.In addition to relatable morals, Adah’s books feature a lot of vibrant imagery and a raw writing style. She doesn’t sugar coat anything. “Writing creatively is quite different than when I wrote reports as a psychologist.”The Blessing; Responsibility to Redemptionand all of Adah’s books are available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble online, her website and book signing events she does in her Las Vegas home area.For more information about the author and her work, please visit https://www.adahkennonauthor.com/

Edinburg, TX - Today, systemic racism continues to persist in our communities and while the nation has undoubtedly made progress structural racism is still embedded and deeply rooted in our culture. Data and research show how Black Americans experience different treatment from their white counterparts. Even though we have become more racially and ethically diverse, hate crimes have been on the rise not only has it pervaded our economic, social, and civic systems but also how we interact with one another on a daily basis. Through individual and collective efforts, we have made meaningful progress where people have become determined to never give up till all people have equal rights.The tragic cases of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd all killed at the hands of police incited such outrage that massive protests ignited across the country as a cry for racial justice. The Black Lives Matter movement was formed from these horrific incidents of police brutality sparking major transformation across policing, education, entertainment, and more.Dr. Peter Kranz is a highly esteemed retired clinical psychologist and Professor who has worked at mental health clinics, colleges and universities but is most notably known for his valuable contributions to improving race relations.Peter obtained his Bachelor’s degree from Grinnell College in 1963 and his PhD in 1969 from Utah State University.

It helped Marty to find her future path.Today, as an HR professional with FTI Consulting and as the Founder and Principal of Nascent Leadership Coaching, she supports all types of individuals, particularly emerging leaders, as they weigh their options and assess their strengths, and strive to get to the next rung of the ladder. Marty also helps people adapt to the changing nature of the leadership role, which is often more about business development or technology deployment nowadays.Marty named her business Nascent Coaching because whatever work she does, it is always a matter of growing, changing, things taking shape and emerging (the many shades of meaning in that word.) Her coaching practice has become a stellar success in a short time.In addition to her PCC, which stands for Professional Coaching Certificate awarded by the ICF, Marty has more than 35 years of cumulative experience in leadership and human resource development. She also holds a Certificate from Georgetown University, a Master’s degree in English and Certification in the Leadership Circle 360⁰ assessment tool.

Indianapolis, IN – Eve Carson is the author of the book Simple, Safe & Secret: The 1981 Murder of Joan L. Webster. Eve seeks to keep alive the memory of her sister-in-law, Joan Webster, a Harvard Student, who perished in November of 1981, under very suspicious circumstances. Despite being a cold case and meeting resistance at every turn, Eve continues to seek justice for Joan.“I began researching this case back in 2006, because the former prosecutor announced that he was writing a book about this case.” mentions Eve. “Having understood the case from the beginning, I understood that what he wrote was similar to the story that was promoted through the media. However, it did not match up with documents that I recovered.”“The case is forty-two years old, and no one has been tried or charged with the crime,” explains Eve. “The state of Massachusetts alleged that Leonard Paradiso picked up Joan at Logan Airport, took her to a boat, murdered her, and then dumped her in Boston Harbor. Her body was missing until 1990, when her remains were discovered in a wooded area in Hamilton, Massachusetts – and NOT in Boston Harbor.”Eve’s passion for this case manifested itself into a book that she authored – Simple, Safe & Secret: The 1981 Murder of Joan L. Webster. This book offers a more detailed account of the events, evidence, and people surrounding Joan Webster. She has dedicated the book in memory of Joan.For more information, please visit https://www.justiceforjoanwebster.com/To purchase Eve’s book, please visit Genius Books

TUCSON, AZ - Robert Douglas has formed a coaching business, and it is a coaching business unlike any other. While he focuses on leadership, he does it in a way that blurs the lines between business consultant and life/transformational coach—by helping people make new and better choices and identify the leader they were meant to be (as opposed to the position they may have been assigned.) He molds real champions.Robert is getting ready to retire from a long career in the US Army that has involved leadership roles. He says that the way they do things in The US Military Service is not always a best-case scenario—assigning leadership titles based on education or length of deployment. People in The Service must implicitly trust their leaders when a true leader should be earning the trust of their teams.“I believe good leadership is more essential today than at any other time in history; a time when influencers are seemingly everywhere thanks to regular and social media. We need to grasp the responsibilities that come with influence and leadership.”Robert has put some of his insights into a book titled Leaders Make Time: Leadership Philosophy Made Simple. He will discuss this book in his November radio interview, including a favorite chapter called Cowards Always Say Yes, which addresses how to set healthy limits, say no with grace, and ensure that we are agreeing to do is something we really can do.For further information and resources please visit Robert’s Website: https://www.leadersmaketime.com/

Chesapeake, VA - The author known as J. Marcelo Baqueroalvarez, has at times been called Marcelo Baquero or even BeeZee, the nickname for his Blog, known as Half Life Crisis.Marcelo was born in Ecuador and came to the US in 1995, living in Florida. He owned a business with other members of his family dedicated to video and web production, and his degree was in commercial art and video production. In his 20s he was persuaded by those slick ad promises to join the Navy but was not initially assigned to the kind of unit he aspired to.One day while on leave, Marcelo saw his true self reflected in the eyes of his old friends, and that’s when the realization that we are not truly living life to our fullest struck him. When he launched his website and blog, it was an effort to give voice to his own little rants, and to talk about things like music and art again, as well as create a platform for the work of his daughter, Samantha. She has used tools like abstract painting and black and white photography to voice the thoughts going on in her head, because she has a nonverbal form of Autism.Marcelo has put his various thoughts into book-length manuscripts too, and on the radio show, he is going to talk about them. His debut book Authoritarianism & Propaganda: The Puppet Master Tools examines authoritarians from the Bolshevik Revolution to modern times.Far from giving away Naval or Government secrets, Marcelo simply tells us all to take a closer look at what we have seen going on in the world these past few years.“I get an opportunity to speak to the world and express what I find most interesting or relevant”To learn more about Marcelo and his writing work, please visit www.halflifecrisis.com

The evidence is what people can unmistakably recognize that it’s their loved one. They bring specific pieces of evidence. This includes mannerisms, likes and dislikes, how they dressed, what they looked like, where they lived and other pieces of proof.”In trance speaking and trance healing, a spirit guide named Star Bright, speaks through Melitta. “I am just a vessel,” elaborates Melitta. “Healing can take place on the emotional level, physical level, mental level, or spiritual level.” Trance is different from hypnosis in their approach but both are altered states of consciousness.Melitta also does tarot card reading. What makes Melitta different is that she feels that the future is not always set in stone because people have free will and can make decisions with an infinite number of possible trajectories and outcomes.In the near future, Melitta plans to host more workshops where she plans on teaching how to awaken psychic abilities and spiritual awareness. “It’s not a gift, but an ability,” declares Melitta. I let spirit guide me to serve to the best of my ability to help people with their innate talents.”“I am just so grateful that I have this ability to help people on both sides,” concludes Melitta.For more information, please visit https://mediumspiritual.com/
Los Angeles, CA -- Partnerships have been an integral part of business in every industry, yet with the recent push toward “everything” being offered as a service, the dynamic of partnerships has evolved. When delivering customer outcomes, companies have more ways to partner now, not less. It is this dynamic that motivated Elaine Goodman to offer channel advisory services aimed at enhancing the performance of her clients’ channels and partnerships.A channel, for those of us who are not experts, is an extension of a business’s salesforce and delivery mechanisms. It can consist of partners, resellers, independent sales representatives and a distribution network that all help to move a company’s solutions to customers. The channel takes care of functions that a company either can’t execute or chooses not to, by creating greater scale, breadth, and depth. Elaine says that her vantage point as an advisor is unique because her experience unites best practices from multiple industries. In addition to high-tech and software as a service (SaaS), she has worked with clients in automotive, consumer electronics, sports, and hospitality/travel, to name a few. Each one of these experiences brings compelling learnings and processes that can later be applied to strategy and execution for go-to-market plans, programs, incentives, or demand generation. Elaine‘s home base is in the Los Angeles area. As a channel leader for the last 13 years with a global technology company, she has launched multiple global initiatives, including new programs and a route to market.For more information, please visit her new website http://www.elainegoodman.com

Hermantown, MN – Dr. Prince Singh is a highly sought after kidney disease specialist and the founder of Kidney Solutions Pro LLC. Dr. Singh is trained in general nephrology (Mayo Clinic, MN) and transplant nephrology (Duke University) with a background training in Internal Medicine.As a nephrologist, Dr. Singh can diagnose and treat kidney disease and if needed.Kidneys as an organ are primarily responsible for cleaning your blood by filtering out unwanted and excesses substances. Kidney disease is defined as any kidney condition that can interfere with the function of the kidney. It ranges from chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and urinary tract infection.According to Dr. Singh, diabetes and high blood pressure are among the leading causes of kidney disease among other causes such as kidney stones, chronic use of pain killers (NSAIDs) and autoimmune diseases.Dr. Singh urges us to take proactive steps to protect our kidneys. Some important tips include drinking plenty of water, avoiding chronic use of NSAIDs (Aleve, ibuprofen, Advil), controlling your diabetes and high blood pressure among other things.If kidney disease gets worse over time, your kidneys may stop working completely and at that point dialysis will be required to perform the function of the kidneys. Dialysis cannot cure kidney disease, but it can prolong your life. In some cases, a kidney transplant may be recommended. Hope is on the horizon for treating chronic kidney disease as new drugs emerge where people may be able to delay dialysis or kidney transplants.For more information, visit https://www.kidneysolutions.online/

Send him back to Korea." Dr. Kim thus went to his old Princeton professor for help, but his reaction was even worse. "Never come to Princeton again." However, the University of Maryland looked at Dr. Kim's case carefully, and he was promoted to an associate professor with permanent tenure in 1968.After retiring from teaching duties in 2007, Dr. Kim became a Professor of Physics Emeritus at the University of Maryland.

Beltsville, MD – Dr. Young Suh Kim was born in a farming-and-fishing village known as Sorae in Korea. Dr. Kim spent his teenage years in Seoul and completed his high school education in 1954.In September of 1954, Dr. Kim came to the United States to become a freshman at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is now Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While studying physics there, he heard about many famous people in the United States including Albert Einstein, who was based at Princeton University."I went to Princeton University in 1958 to pursue graduate work in physics, and to also meet Albert Einstein,” recalls Dr. Kim, “even though Einstein died in 1955.”In 1962, Dr. Kim became an assistant professor of physics at the University of Maryland.However, the reaction from American physicists was "Dashen is a genius, but Kim is only a Korean. Send him back to Korea." Dr. Kim thus went to his old Princeton professor for help, but his reaction was even worse. "Never come to Princeton again." However, the University of Maryland looked at Dr. Kim's case carefully, and he was promoted to an associate professor with permanent tenure in 1968.After retiring from teaching duties in 2007, Dr. Kim became a Professor of Physics Emeritus at the University of Maryland. As a result, he retired from teaching, and he has been focusing full-time on research.Other physicists that Dr. Kim has respected include Murray Gelman, Richard Feynman, and Paul Dirac.“I believe in what I believe in,” concludes Dr. Kim. “I endured a lot of hardship in delays in promotion and I succeeded.

Scotch Plains, NJ – Susan Lieberman is one such professional. She is a highly regarded Certified Holistic Life Coach, nurse, energy healer, meditation teacher, Keynote speaker, and owner and CEO of Pathways to Mind Body Wellness.As a nurse for over thirty years, Susan has experienced first-hand a dysfunctional health care system where people are not being offered holistic healing. Instead, the system focuses on symptoms and prescription of medications that can have major side effects. Western medicine is very effective, especially for acute rather than chronic conditions. Many times, it forgets about the emotional component of healing that tremendously affects our mental and physical health.Susan’s work is deeply rooted in an integrative approach as she supports us on our healing journey by viewing each person as a whole-body, mind, and spirit.As an example, through somatic healing, Susan addresses trauma symptoms that can create dysfunction in our nervous system, which is affected by our life experiences and everything we think and feel.Jin Shin Jyutsu, another energetic healing art, facilitates the flow of energy in our body. Energy blockages in the body due to stress, diet, lifestyle, and even environmental factors, can be a contributing factor to “dis-ease.”Another healing modality she works with is Medical Qi Gong, which harmonizes the energy pathways (aka “meridians”) in our body by balancing our life-force energy or “chi.”Susan’s warm, practical, and evidence-based approaches make her relatable to all the clients who seek her services for profound healing.For more information, visit https://www.susanhlieberman.com/

Kidney disease is defined as any kidney condition that can interfere with the function of the kidney. It ranges from chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and urinary tract infection.According to Dr. Singh, diabetes and high blood pressure are among the leading causes of kidney disease among other causes such as kidney stones, chronic use of pain killers (NSAIDs) and autoimmune diseases.Dr. Singh urges us to take proactive steps to protect our kidneys. Some important tips include drinking plenty of water, avoiding chronic use of NSAIDs (Aleve, ibuprofen, Advil), controlling your diabetes and high blood pressure among other things.If kidney disease gets worse over time, your kidneys may stop working completely and at that point dialysis will be required to perform the function of the kidneys. Dialysis cannot cure kidney disease, but it can prolong your life. In some cases, a kidney transplant may be recommended. Hope is on the horizon for treating chronic kidney disease as new drugs emerge where people may be able to delay dialysis or kidney transplants.For more information, visit https://www.kidneysolutions.online/

Charlotte, NC – Melissa Domingo is a Certified Emotion Code and Body Code Practitioner at Purely Elevate. In addition, Melissa is a Complementary and Alternative Healthcare Practitioner and trained in Naturopathy, who specializes in energy medicine.Created by retired chiropractor, Dr. Bradley Nelson, Emotion Code is according to Melissa, “a modality with a fundamental basic, where you are finding a heart wall, trapped emotions, or compound emotions, and then releasing those through magnetic therapy. These trapped emotions can create blockages, or emotional and physical ailments.”Melissa observes that there are several types of trapped emotions. These include common trapped emotions, pre-natal where the trapped emotions were absorbed by the fetus in the womb by either one or both parents, pre-conception trapped emotions, inherited trapped emotions, and absorbed trapped emotions where you absorb an emotion from someone else because you don’t want them to hurt. People can even share trapped emotions with one another.“The body code is much more detailed where there are six main imbalances,” adds Melissa. “There is energy, circuit/systems, toxicity, pathogens, misalignments, and nutrition/lifestyle.”In addition to Emotion Code and Body Code, Melissa provides additional services. Her most prominent is Reams Biological Theory of Ionization (RBTI).

Green Bay, WI – Michelle Poole is an energy healer and the founder of Reclaim Balance. Established in 2018, she currently specializes in sound therapy, emotion code, and body code.According to Michelle, energy sound therapy is more than just singing bowls. “While singing bowls are more for a group setting, energy sound therapy is targeted for the individual with one-on-one sessions,” clarifies Michelle. “I start my sessions by asking the client what they would like to work on. They can tell me as little or as much as they want.”“Every emotion has its own frequency and its own frequency card,” adds Michelle. “The body identifies that emotion by its own frequency and they are all unique. Taking the average adult between sixty to ninety minutes in a typical session, the speakers are placed on the body with the objective of releasing the trapped emotions.”Emotion Code, like sound therapy also addresses trapped emotions. What makes Emotion Code different is that in addition to addressing trapped emotions, it also addresses inherited emotions, absorbed emotions, and heart walls.“Body Code is a Level 2 to the Emotion Code,” explains Michelle. “Body Code has Emotion Code within it, but it focuses on rebalancing the entire body. Emotions, if stored long enough, can wreak havoc physically. Energetically, with the use of a magnet, we can realign the physical body.”In addition to the current modalities practiced by Michelle, she currently is working on her certification in a new energy healing modality known as Belief Code.For more information, please visit https://www.reclaimbalanceenergysoundtherapy.com/

New York, NY - As Maureen Santora prepares for her two radio appearances this September, the nation is preparing to observe Patriot Day, a name designated for September 11th. Then President Obama proclaimed it as “a time for Americans to honor all those who lost their lives to the heartbreaking attacks of September 11th and made the ultimate sacrifice to our country.”
Maureen’s only son Christopher was one of those special Americans. He had always wanted to be a hero as a child and had his chance to do that on 9-11. But sadly, he perished, and it changed Maureen’s life forever.
Christopher had also wanted to be a firefighter, as close as he could get to the comic heroes he’d loved as a child. Chrisopher eventually became one and also achieved goals in his mother’s field, teaching.
To honor his legacy Maureen took the government issued funds, as well as a chunk of her own retirement money, and launched a scholarship fund in his name. The happiest people, she believes, are givers.
“He was such a scholar and loved life. He was an athlete and so gracious. I wanted to honor him and to perpetuate his work.”
Now, 20 years later, The Christopher Santora Memorial scholarship has given out $ 700,000+ and helped foster the dreams of numerous students.
Marueen herself was a teacher from 1967 until a recent retirement. She wishes debate teams and cursive writing were part of the school experience the way they were in her best years of teaching.

Gloucester, MA – Annette Dion is a top-notch spiritual life coach, psychic, and podcaster.
Rather than providing cookie cutter readings and telling us “In three months, your ex will come back to you,” or “You are destined to win the Powerball,” or “Your Prince Charming is coming,” and suddenly all of life’s problems are solved, Annette’s readings are more profound. Annette gets to the core of our issues by tapping into our energy, guiding us towards self-awareness. This help us ascertain why certain situations are happening in our lives, allowing us to focus our energy on moving forward with fresh perspective and renewed self-assurance.
In other words, no matter what obstacles arise, we are creating the very best version of ourselves with self-love and confidence.
According to Annette, we co-exist simultaneously with a different dimension and, as a uniquely gifted psychic, she has the unique ability to tap into our core energy and receive information accordingly. Annette describes herself as a “messenger” or an “interpreter.”
Her readings are not about predicting our future, but rather seeing the trajectory of our lives, helping us become empowered on a spiritual level, and healing us in mind, body, and spirit.
Annette doesn’t believe that we are victims of circumstance—instead, we have monumental influence over what is going to happen in our lives. We are co-creators of our lives and we can choose happiness, live in unconditional love, and spread kindness, compassion, and happiness throughout the universe.

She has discussed novel therapies in the past, including the purest collagen supplements, blended medicine, bio-identical hormone replacement, and wellness models.

She will also address aging and anti-aging, exploring the shades of difference between Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and novel approaches to treatment for them both. The doctor will also revisit favorite topics from past shows and her books, such as auto immune disease and hormone balancing therapy.

He is a multi-dimensional achiever, and it consistently puts him in demand as an executive coach, business advisor and trainer-- focused on management, leadership, cultural transformation and other aspects of enhancing performance at any level.
In his September series, Doctor Mike is going to discuss an intriguing topic that applies in both personal and Business/Executive coaching scenarios: Abundance, and more specifically, Abundance as a State of Mind. Week-by-week he will talk about creating a sense of abundance within, why abundance is a mindset, and the aspects of leadership that inspire abundance in the workplace.
Doctor Mike holds a PhD from UCLA and has achieved impressive strides in many different fields, from naval intelligence to university administration, to motivational speaking (much like Covey and Marshall Goldsmith. ) He even spent time in the ministry, a wonderful platform for his passion and eloquence. Doctor Mike later founded his flagship company--SLDI or Strategic Leadership Development International. It is a means to reach, inspire, and educate executive level leaders. In each milieu, a sense of abundance can be beneficial, particularly if it comes with the best of intentions (helping not hoarding) and the desire to reach a professional peak.

While in high school, Thomas’s interest in Broadway musicals and their cinematic versions came to life after seeing My Fair Lady and West Side Story. The subject matters, performances, and musical numbers spoke to him so powerfully it launched his writing career and beginning in the early 90s’s he started writing. Although most of his books pertain to musical theater he has also written about film and popular music of the past as well as lesser- known parts of Broadway musicals. Now retired from the university and happily living in St. Augustine Florida he teaches theater and film part time at Flagler college.
In his upcoming interview, Thomas will be discussing his latest release, his well-researched Broadway Decoded, an excellent resource about Broadway musicals. He chose fifty of the most produced and well know musicals and lists all the expressions and idioms that we don’t typically understand and brings them to light. It’s a fun read as well as useful and practical.
Thomas graciously emphasizes that he writes books not for the “scholars,” but your average run of the mill individuals. Even though impeccably researched they are not meant be boorishly academic but lively and fun.

Hollywood, FL – Let’s admit it: we are a society that lives to eat. In fact, we are continually centering everything we do around food. Every social event we attend is paired with food.
According to Joe Carvalho, even eating just one meal a day can be very beneficial. This is otherwise known as intermittent fasting. It can help you burn fat and improve your metabolic health. Simply put, humans don’t need to overstuff themselves with food.
Joe also insists we must greatly reduce or eliminate sugar consumption because cancer and many “diseases” have been linked to consuming massive amounts of sugar, as seen in the SAD (Standard American Diet). He suggests drinking unsweetened coffee and iced tea, if not just water.
Moreover, it’s a myth, he says, that cholesterol per se is bad for us when it’s actually essential for good health. We need cholesterol to make hormones and build cells.
Joe also has some interesting thoughts for those of us who are on vegan diets to take precautions on what ingredients are actually in our meatless burgers, and other non-meat products, as many are filled with sugars, vegetable oils and various chemicals. He urges us to be wise consumers and check all food labels.
“Clearly food is double-edged straight line to both health and illness” says Joe.

New York, NY - As Maureen Santora prepares for her two radio appearances this September, the nation is preparing to observe Patriot Day, a name designated for September 11th. Then President Obama proclaimed it as “a time for Americans to honor all those who lost their lives to the heartbreaking attacks of September 11th and made the ultimate sacrifice to our country.”Maureen’s only son Christopher was one of those special Americans. He had always wanted to be a hero as a child and had his chance to do that on 9-11. But sadly, he perished, and it changed Maureen’s life forever.Christopher had also wanted to be a firefighter, as close as he could get to the comic heroes he’d loved as a child. Chrisopher eventually became one and also achieved goals in his mother’s field, teaching.To honor his legacy Maureen took the government issued funds, as well as a chunk of her own retirement money, and launched a scholarship fund in his name. The happiest people, she believes, are givers.“He was such a scholar and loved life. He was an athlete and so gracious. I wanted to honor him and to perpetuate his work.”Now, 20 years later, The Christopher Santora Memorial scholarship has given out $ 700,000+ and helped foster the dreams of numerous students.Marueen herself was a teacher from 1967 until a recent retirement. She wishes debate teams and cursive writing were part of the school experience the way they were in her best years of teaching.For more information about the Christopher Santoro Educational Scholarship Fund, check out this video interview Maureen and her husband Al had with our host Jim Masters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE4jmeaYusA

Brenda is best known for her exemplary work on interpersonal violence and sexual harassment with a dedicated focus on elevating awareness. Her recent research investigates domestic violence myths towards male victims, exploring how the legal and criminal justice systems can evolve to recognize and serve all victims equally.
She recognizes that this traditional gender paradigm with its notions of masculinity and femininity, does not fit in our evolving society. Her mission is to shine a light on the obscured reality that abuse is not confined to gender and that heterosexual male and LGBTQ individuals are also victims of these crimes often at similar or higher rates.
Brenda does not intend to minimize the abuse of women, but rather seeks to create a society where all victims of abuse are treated with the dignity, compassion, and understanding they deserve, no matter the gender identity or sexual orientation. She assertively stands against the trivialization of abuse for all victims and works to help others recognize these crimes as a human issue, not a gendered issue.

MILWAUKEE, WI -- Victoria J Mondloch is an inspiring physician who is doubly certified and has changed her career focus several times—from group to private practice, from OB/GYN to General and Internal Medicine, and later to holistic, wellness, and alternative therapies.
The doctor has spoken often on this web radio channel and is about to wrap up an extensive series. She has discussed novel therapies in the past, including the purest collagen supplements, blended medicine, bio-identical hormone replacement, and wellness models. Doctor Mondloch, or Dr Vicki as patients affectionately refer to her, has also been most vocal on her feelings about disparities in the way American Medicine is provided, and the demise of old-fashioned doctor-patient relationships.
She is going to approach some of the most provocative topics yet—from Regenerative Medicine (once referred to as Stem Cell Therapy) to Energy Medicine. She will also address aging and anti-aging, exploring the shades of difference between Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and novel approaches to treatment for them both. The doctor will also revisit favorite topics from past shows and her books, such as auto immune disease and hormone balancing therapy.
This is a can’t miss opportunity to hear from an authority in medicine who has more than 35 years of practice experience and treated patients with unprecedented success—and that includes the hormone balancing she did for herself. Mondloch is also a noted author, with two books and numerous articles published, and a trainer and curriculum developer for other physicians at the leading edge of care.

Victoria J Mondloch has more than 35 years of experience in private practice with the bulk of it focused on wellness. She blends traditional medicine with alternative health modalities to help people stay out of hospitals, avoid select medications with scary side effects, and feel more vital and youthful. She also emphasizes lifestyle changes for optimal health. She has made a name for herself in the field of hormone balancing, a subject many other practitioners pass on, and an area of health management that affects many other aspects of disease, particularly as we age.
Dr. Mondloch has written two books about the changes our hormones go through as women reach certain life stages. It is a subject of high interest to women, yet also applicable to men. Of course, women facing menopause are known to experience certain symptoms, say night sweats or changes in libido, yet balancing hormones can impact many other areas of wellness: improved sleep, better short -term memory, healthy skin/less skin rash; even less muscle cramps and less restless leg syndrome. And further, improvements in GERD, even reducing the risk of heart disease and some cancers! Hormones regulate EVERY facet of our physical, emotional and mental health and well-being.
In her upcoming shows, Dr. Mondloch will explain the various hormone-secreting glands in the body and what they control.
Mondloch will further introduce the topic: The Fragmentation of Medicine. There was a time when hormone disorders, were something a general practitioner would oversee, but today the trend is a trip to the Urologist or Endocrinologist.

Helena, MT - Brielle Gurr is a top-notch practitioner certified in The Emotion Code, working towards certification in The Body Code, and owner of Spring Seed Wellness.
“The reason the Emotion code is such a miraculous, powerful, life changing energy healing technique is that it removes the energy of trapped negative emotions like anger, fear, depression, and shame, that have been lodged in our bodies that can date back to our childhood and even earlier. Through the Emotion code, I help you to connect to your subconscious mind, find and release the root cause of the problem, and free you from these trapped emotions. This can alleviate chronic pain and bring profound healing to your mind, body, heart and spirit.”
Brielle says that healing from our old wounds is critical to healthy living because left to fester in our bodies, we begin to feel resentment, anger, and disconnected to our loved ones and people in general. As evidence has suggested, when we continue to suppress our feelings over time our negative emotions can lead to disease, chronic illness, and mental health conditions. On the other hand, when we begin to heal, we can live with gratitude, joy, self-love, and be aligned with our authentic selves, which are all key to greater happiness and fulfillment.
Brielle underwent her own struggles and dark times. It was when she heard about Energy healing that she began furtively researching natural healing modalities that she instantly connected with the Emotion code. Over time she began to feel like a new person. Renewed, re-energized, ready to take on the world. In fact, she became so inspired that she realized becoming an emotion code practitioner was her true calling. Today, with her warm, approachable, down to earth practical style, she is helping many other individuals find their own path to most optimal health and wellness.

Huntington Beach, CA – Daniel Anselmi is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) at Guiding Empathy Inc.
“I provide mental health therapy services for a variety of individuals and age groups,” explains Daniel. “Often times, people come to me with relationship issues, communication issues, difficulty controlling their emotions, being confused about who they are and who they would like to be.”
Daniel offers both in-person and telehealth services. He works with a broad group of individuals with diverse backgrounds and situations. The person seeking him out may be an adult, adolescent, or child. It may be an individual or a couple. It may be someone with a chronic medical condition which affects their mental health. Due to a new law (H.R. 2617) regarding Medicare that recently passed, LMFT’s like Daniel will also be eligible to work with seniors as of 2024. He works with all and does it all.
One of the common misconceptions that Daniel mentions is that a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is not only relegated to work with married couples. In fact, he emphasizes that he treats individuals as well as couples. Also, of the couples that work with Daniel, some are not married. They are either dating, engaged, or otherwise co-habitants.
Officially becoming licensed as an LMFT in August 2017, Daniel started working as part of a group mental health practice. Then, in November 2019, Daniel left the practice and founded Guiding Empathy Inc., established on Daniel’s principle of “empathy first, problem-solving second”.
“You matter,” concludes Daniel. “You have the individual right to form your own beliefs and to reinterpret situations.”

NAPA, CA -- Jayson Uribe is a talent whose name is synonymous with achievement.

“I have to know more about what happened and find out the genuine answer to the puzzle,” Jayson explains.

NAPA, CA -- Jayson Uribe is a talent whose name is synonymous with achievement. For this amazing young man, it is not a matter of achieving for self-grandeur; the quests that count most to Jayson are ones that enable him to solve nagging problems and help other people. That holds particularly true for his work as a volunteer firefighter and his Code 3 Consultations services.
While Jayson is recognized for his career as a motorcycle rider and motor sports trainer, his recent focus has been as an accident investigator who specializes in vehicular analysis of car, truck and motorcycle-related incidents. Jayson carefully determines the probable cause of them and helps clients uncover the truth in court cases. When diagnosing such situations, he uses 3-D recreation technology, an advanced degree, and an innate understanding of vehicle mechanics and road conditions.
He also boasts 20+ years of experience in the motorsports industry, a coaching background, a 5-year EE degree plus apprenticeship, and several years of experience in private vehicle investigations. In addition to his expert witness testimony and analyses, Jayson continues to ride and fight blazes
Jayson had been interested in firefighting for a long while and finally found the means to make his wish come true. He underwent the 6-month training program from the Napa County Fire Department in June of 2019, and has been a member of the volunteer-staffed Station 21 in Deer Park ever since.
“I have to know more about what happened and find out the genuine answer to the puzzle,” Jayson explains.

Brooklyn, NY – Lance Growth is the co-founder of Growth 1031, Inc., an exchange accommodator headquartered in Brooklyn, NY and San Diego, CA.
According to Lance, a 1031 exchange is a “tax shelter where people who sell investment properties can use to defer paying capital gains tax.”
According to the tax laws, an investor has 180 days to make a 1031 exchange, with the first forty-five days given to identify a property that they want to invest in.
“People think that a 1031 exchange is a tax loophole for the rich, but it’s a tax loophole for the informed,” explains Lance. “Anybody can do it with a property worth $5,000,000 or $50,000.”
“Because people are nervous when they do this, we offer personalized service and will offer our cell number to them,” touts Lance. “We want to assure them that they have a support system throughout the entire process.”
As Lance is eager to get the word out about 1031 exchanges, he hosts a webinar every two weeks which offers additional information and opportunities. “We’re very big on education,” confirms Lance.
Lance has been featured in Opportunity Zone Magazine as one of the Top Ten Most Influential People in the realm of Tax and Real Estate.
“People have to start making decisions about their money,” concludes Lance. “People should learn more about the benefits of a 1031 exchange and how to reinvest their money into real estate.”

Milwaukee, WI - Dr. Victoria J. Mondloch is a practicing physician with 35 years of experience specializing in Women’s Health, Family Medicine, and Preventive Health & Wellness. Her innovative practice format allows patients to partner in their own healthcare and she has a mission to empower patients with an understanding of how to work together on medical diagnoses – and by educating them on the best steps to keeping them healthy. Often, the root of it lies in hormone balancing and she has become a subject matter expert on that approach. Dr. Mondloch has written about this in two books for women at different life stages and also teaches current/future doctors her approach in professional seminars. She is known as a doctor with a classic, highly devoted approach that is rare to find in contemporary medicine.“When I was a teen, there was a TV show called Marcus Welby MD. He was known as The Doctor People Want to See. There is also that famous picture of a doctor by Norman Rockwell, who reflected a more humble, kind, and gentle culture. In it, the doctor is checking a little girl’s doll with his stethoscope, his black travel bag at his feet. We wonder what happened to such doctors. But I know it is the kind of doctor I want to be known as.”Dr. Vickie, as patients affectionately call her, believes there is a giant disconnect between what a patient’s perception of good healthcare is and what the medical field has created today. People want to be heard, they want to take time on their visits, they want to have their questions heard and answered.She will go to any length to preserve patient’s health and dignity.For more information, please visit https://rhm.care/vjmondlochmd/
Napa, CA - Just what does it mean to be an expert witness? It means you have intimate knowledge and specific skills that enable you to say what happened at a scene even when you weren’t physically on the scene. For competitive motorcycle driver Jayson Uribe, that intimate knowledge is of cars, bikes, vehicle mechanics and electrical systems, all of which enable him to analyze and reconstruct accidents and vehicular occurrences on public roads. His skills also come from years of professional riding/driving and advanced studies in Electrical Engineering.Jayson’s quest to investigate and understand accidents began when a good friend of his faced jail time for a vehicular issue. Jayson felt the right tools and knowledge might have helped to clear his friend and vowed to make a difference in the future. It led to a new career path for him and the formation of his blossoming Code 3 Consulting practice (Code 3 is a term Jayson took from firefighting, where it is used to indicate the severity of an occurrence.)Jayson is now an expert witness and accident investigator who specializes in vehicular analysis of car, truck and motorcycle-related incidents—who carefully determines the probable cause of them and helps clients uncover the truth in court cases.When Jayson was just three years old he attended his first racing event at a local track and was determined to enter the motor sports field one day. That same spirit of determination led him to pursue firefighting and an advanced education in electronics. It also led him to launch this consultancy, and Jayson wants all people to embrace that positive stick to your dreams kind of mindset.For more information about Jayson and expert witness services, visit www.code3consultations.com

Napa, CA - Just what does it mean to be an expert witness? It means you have intimate knowledge and specific skills that enable you to say what happened at a scene even when you weren’t physically on the scene. For competitive motorcycle driver Jayson Uribe, that intimate knowledge is of cars, bikes, vehicle mechanics and electrical systems, all of which enable him to analyze and reconstruct accidents and vehicular occurrences on public roads. His skills also come from years of professional riding/driving and advanced studies in Electrical Engineering.Jayson’s quest to investigate and understand accidents began when a good friend of his faced jail time for a vehicular issue. Jayson felt the right tools and knowledge might have helped to clear his friend and vowed to make a difference in the future. It led to a new career path for him and the formation of his blossoming Code 3 Consulting practice (Code 3 is a term Jayson took from firefighting, where it is used to indicate the severity of an occurrence.)Jayson is now an expert witness and accident investigator who specializes in vehicular analysis of car, truck and motorcycle-related incidents—who carefully determines the probable cause of them and helps clients uncover the truth in court cases.When Jayson was just three years old he attended his first racing event at a local track and was determined to enter the motor sports field one day.

Silver Spring, MD – Cecilia Sepp, Principal and Founder of Rogue Tulips Consulting, is an experienced and sought after non-profit management consultant, a leader in her profession of nonprofit management, and an advocate for professional development for nonprofit professionals. In addition to her work with clients and developing education for nonprofit professionals, Cecilia is the host of her own podcast "Radio Free 501c” where guests discuss current trends and themes affecting the non-profit sector today.The term “non-profit” means that all income is put back into the organization, as opposed to a for-profit that might pay out dividends. A benefit for non-profits is that they are exempt from federal income tax which allows them to keep more resources to support their mission. Another major differentiator for non-profits is that they are required to have a Board of Directors while for-profits have options for incorporation. This is why Cecilia is an advocate for consistent and in-depth board training and education. Well-educated and thoughtful board members are essential for the success of non-profits.She notes that for the non-profit community to move into the future, they cannot wish for the old pre-pandemic days. Non-profit organizations need to fundamentally rethink strategies and position themselves to handle change with agility and resilience. For Cecilia, the coming year ahead looks extremely bright and promising. With more speaking gigs lined up, a full course catalog for 2023, plans to write a book, and plans to further her own education, the sky’s the limit.For more information, visit https://www.roguetulips.com/

NEW YORK, NY - Emmanuel Joseph Ajala is a biomedical researcher and principal investigator on a relentless quest to resolve some of the scariest diseases of our times.

WAUKESHA, WI - Victoria J. Mondloch is a doctor who has both experience and credentials as an Internist and OB/GYN. Throughout her years of practice, she has watched her chosen discipline evolve and nearly implode, as the values and delivery models of “Western Medicine” and traditional healthcare shifted. Her desire to be a doctor, uphold her oath, and heal people never wavered though. So, Dr. Mondloch, or Dr. Vicki as many patients call her, has moved away from the larger health systems and group practices, and on to a more independent and wellness-oriented style of practice.Wellness means different things to different people, she notes, and her version of wellness medicine is not always what a patient might expect. For this novel doctor, wellness is switching from chemical and pharmaceutical solutions to symptoms and diseases to the more natural ones. Sometimes, conventional medicine needs to be added back in, and then it becomes more like blended medicine, but still, with the best of intentions – getting more answers and helping the patients to feel and function better.In her upcoming radio shows, Dr. Mondloch is going to talk about what a patient can expect from a wellness doctor, and what they should be getting as part of their annual exam.Dr. Mondloch notes that many doctors work on an actuarial based model, ordering this or that test when people present with certain symptoms, but that may not always get to the heart of what’s wrong. People should always come before profits, and doing real discovery is more important.For more information, please visit https://rhm.care/vjmondlochmd/

Throughout her years of practice, she has watched her chosen discipline evolve and nearly implode, as the values and delivery models of “Western Medicine” and traditional healthcare shifted. Her desire to be a doctor, uphold her oath, and heal people never wavered though. So, Dr. Mondloch, or Dr. Vicki as many patients call her, has moved away from the larger health systems and group practices, and on to a more independent and wellness-oriented style of practice.Wellness means different things to different people, she notes, and her version of wellness medicine is not always what a patient might expect. For this novel doctor, wellness is switching from chemical and pharmaceutical solutions to symptoms and diseases to the more natural ones. Sometimes, conventional medicine needs to be added back in, and then it becomes more like blended medicine, but still, with the best of intentions – getting more answers and helping the patients to feel and function better.In her upcoming radio shows, Dr. Mondloch is going to talk about what a patient can expect from a wellness doctor, and what they should be getting as part of their annual exam.Dr. Mondloch notes that many doctors work on an actuarial based model, ordering this or that test when people present with certain symptoms, but that may not always get to the heart of what’s wrong. People should always come before profits, and doing real discovery is more important.For more information, please visit https://rhm.care/vjmondlochmd/

We build these mental muscles so in the future, they can navigate their own course more easily and they walk away with strategies and tools and no longer need my coaching. Through my consulting work I advise people on how corporations and law firms view high potential and how to fall in that bucket. I work with them to understand how critical leadership and soft skills is in achieving their goals so I’m giving the path, but I work with their unique strengths.”“If you are looking to improve your performance or help your organizations reach and surpass their goals and objectives, I can help you develop the skills to advance and lead effectively.”For more information, visit www.focus-forward-consulting.com

West Bloomfield, MI - Dr. Josefino Tunac is a disease expert and the chairman and president of ArterezDiseases are the bane of our existence. Throughout history diseases have been the major killer of humans.In the Medieval period, doctors thought the Bubonic plague was created by air and fumes produced by poor sanitation. Because of the ravages of smallpox, in desperation, Benjamin Jesty, a Scottish farmer in 1774 injected (vaccinated) a pus from a cow infected with cowpox to his family and found protection from smallpox. Vaccination was later championed by Edward Jenner and credited for the eradication of smallpox.Just like Jesty with the smallpox, Alexander Fleming serendipitously discovered the antibiotic penicillin which was introduced in 1940 as the panacea for bacterial infection. Thereafter, smallpox and bacterial plagues were under control. The next challenge for modern society is effective treatment of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and now Alzheimer’s. More recently (2020), the government enacted “Operation Warp Speed” (OWS) and identified the spike-protein component of COVID-19 as target for diagnostics and vaccines. Dr Tunac agrees with government’s effort to fund and solve problems, but what Dr Tunac does not agree is the platform of reducing the diseases into component parts or symptoms as treatment targets and ignoring the global nature of the disease.Alternatively, Dr Tunac addresss the global etiology of diseases as target(s) for drug treatment, which he calls “Burglar Proofing”. This involves the design of a multicomponent drug to fortify or restore the innate (physical) and immunological defense system.For more information, visit www.arterez.com

Greensboro, NC – Mary Ellen Hettinger is an evidential medium, Certified Angel Guide, psychic, and animal communicator at HeavenlyVisitors.com. An award-winning reporter and writer with 40 years as a professional communicator, Hettinger discovered her communication skills extended to the afterlife—i.e., she “talks to and sees dead people”--only eight years ago.As a medium, Hettinger acts as a bridge between the spiritual world and the physical world. Her heartfelt, evidence-based messages of hope can help bring comfort and closure to those grieving the loss of loved ones. Another fascinating aspect to her mediumship is that currently all consultations are by phone—yet she can connect with people around the globe.“As an animal communicator, I ‘speak’ with animals telepathically, both living and those who have crossed over, so I can convey their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. When I communicate with pets this can help create positive changes in their behavior, or I can discover what is bothering them. This helps us form an even stronger bond with our animal companions who have so much to teach us.”“More people are interested in learning about topics such as mediumship, accessing their intuition, interpreting dreams, raising their ‘frequency’ and what that means, etc.,” notes Hettinger.“All of these things are, I believe, part of a transformation where we are becoming aware of a ‘collective consciousness.’ That is, we are all connected.”When I provide my clients with messages from their loved ones, they get closure and comfort.” Hettinger says.To learn more, see reviews or book an appointment, visit www.HeavenlyVisitors.com

Fallbrook, CA – Heart disease, cancer, strokes, and diabetes are just a few of the devastating illnesses that send millions of people to the hospital every year. However, traditional treatment options, such as surgery or harmful drugs, often only mask the symptoms and fail to address the root causes of the disease. Recognizing the shortcomings of the current healthcare system, which prioritizes profit over patient well-being, Board Certified Nurse Coach, Founder and CEO of Bondaventure Wellness & Coaching, Luanne Bond, set out to create a different approach.Drawing from her 27 years of experience as a nurse, Luanne saw firsthand how patients were suffering and how traditional treatment methods were not effective. She observed that hospitals lacked a focus on preventive care and often left patients feeling isolated and alone. Additionally, she experienced severe burnout in her role as a nurse. As a result, Luanne decided to become a Nurse Coach, with the goal of helping people avoid devastating illnesses and the need for hospitalization.As a Nurse Coach, Luanne guides clients to make healthy lifestyle changes and achieve total wellness in every aspect of their lives. She emphasizes the importance of a holistic lifestyle, including eating nutritious foods, and recognizes that the Standard American Diet has been a major contributor to poor health for decades.She also offers wellness retreats at her avocado and vineyard farm property located in Fallbrook, CA where attendees can experience deep connections with other like-minded individuals and learn how to live their best lives.For more information, visit www.bondaventurewellness.com

WAUKESHA, WI - When it comes to their health and well-being, people have different relationships with health providers. Sometimes they passively listen to a doctor or other skilled practitioner. Sometimes they do research, take an active role, and even seek a specialist’s advice. Sadly, there are times when people have complaints that might be dismissed by the doctor, or labelled unresolvable, and the relationship ends. The best results though, can be achieved from a partnership—when patients who are knowledgeable and inquisitive, and want to explore treatment options work with a doctor who takes a highly personalized approach. Dr. Victoria J. Mondloch, a long-time provider of OBGYN and Internal Medicine care in the Midwest, is that kind of foresighted and committed doctor.“As a teaching doctor, I have a sense of duty to empower people with knowledge. So, you will understand what is going on inside your body to a greater extent. And become an excellent steward of your own health. And so that you can navigate the medical system more easily and successfully for the rest of your healthy life.”Dr. Mondloch describes herself as a wellness physician, someone who works to keep people out of hospitals, away from costly medical office visits, and off of the common medications that can have scary side effects. She accomplishes her goals with promising options that have included bioidentical hormones and exosomes (the name for the new protein serum and a more portable generation of stem cell therapy.) And she also taps into a rare and deep level of concern for each individual and their health complaints.To learn more about Dr Mondloch please go to one of her websites such as https://rhm.care/vjmondlochmd/

Malvern, Worcestershire, United Kingdom – Julie Angel is an International highly sought-after Psychic Medium. Julie is also a real-life psychic detective who also finds missing people, pets and objects. Her national and global predictions can be found on her new page on this website "Global predictions"“As a professional psychic, I shed light on some of your most pressing questions. As a Medium I will help you communicate with your loved ones who have passed on; this brings peace and solace to grief-stricken hearts and souls.”Julie says that as a psychic and medium they are sharply distinct from one another. Psychics tune into the energy of people and places. They sense elements of their past, present and future through their psychic ability. On the other hand, a Medium will help communicate with our loved ones who have passed on. As a clairvoyant medium, she sees pictures in her minds’ eye and around her client’s aura that relay messages.Although Julie Angel does in fact bring much needed healing to many of her clients she strongly emphasizes that she is not a grief counselor or psychologist. Her role is to bring insight and clarity into what is likely to happen given someone’s current circumstances and she is the catalyst for what Spirit divulges to her.“No matter what our past holds we can live in gratitude and consciously create an abundant life. I am dedicated to giving you a reading to the best of my ability so you can make better life choices and live every day grateful for your life and looking forward to the next chapter ahead.”For more information on our guest visit www.julieangelinternationalpsychicmedium.com

New York, NY – Donna McGrath is a former NIH Molecular Biologist, highly sought-after Master Energy Healer and Intuitive Medium and author of From Corporate Mentality to Spiritual Reality, A True Out-of-Body Journey to Enlightenment, who has worked with over 60,000 clients since her 1994 transformation.She says, “Our thoughts, words, emotions and surrounding environment (epigenetics) absolutely affect our health. What people do not realize is that disease is actually formed from the outside in. Therefore, negative thoughts, words and patterns, spiral around and around. Finally, when repeated long enough, negative patterns eventually cause dis-ease, or an un-easeful state in the body.In my 1994 experience, I was gifted with the knowledge of which emotion effects which body part. With my energy work, I then intuitively identify, target and remove the specific core emotional traumas from the past that originally caused the problem. When this is done, the good news is that miraculous results often occur!Through my Healing Your Feelings, Change your Life workshops, Conscious Communication workshops and Quantum Manifestation workshops, I teach how to transform your pent up emotions from a negative to a positive state and how to communicate and manifest miracles into your life. The result of the work helps people of all walks of life to find a life of health, abundance, love, peace and joy.”“The idea is for us to live on this earth in peace and love so we are literally in control of our emotions and for all of us, collectively, to be interacting with each other compassionately, lovingly, creating earth as it is in heaven, literally.”For more information, visit www.donnamcgrath.com

Mount Prospect, IL – Tim Wolfe is a Certified Tax Coach (CTC), Certified Public Accountant (CPA), tax planner, and author of Fight Back: Successful Income Tax-Savings Tips and Strategies to Keep More of Your Own Money, which is available on Amazon, and is complete with strategies on how to use the tax code as a tool to significantly reduce income taxes.“A tax strategist is literally the opposite of a tax preparer. The tax preparer helps you file a tax return based on last year’s transaction that is now set in stone. However, the tax strategist looks at your future transactions and advises you on how to modify or recast transactions, that enables a taxpayer to substantially reduce taxes. You may only see your tax preparer once a year. However, a tax strategist will become a trusted adviser you can rely on through the years to work with you to achieve your financial goals.Tim explains that there really is no cost to use his services, only a risk-free investment from which you will receive a great return. How can it be free of risk? Because if there are no tax savings, there is no investment. And the investment is based only on first year tax savings even though there will be similar tax savings every year, unless circumstances change.Tim also encourages taxpayers to become business owners, including those side gigs, to turn personal expenses into tax deductions like business related mileage and home office expenses. Employees on the other hand with W2s are limited to what they can use as tax deductions.“I very much care about you.

New York, NY - COVID Long Haulers can find a new resource to learn how to turn their lives around, with the help of Sally Riggs, psychologist and polyvagal coach, and her new Facebook community group.Sally Riggs is a psychologist and polyvagal coach who helps COVID Long Haulers—people suffering with Long COVID—understand how to navigate the different states of their nervous system and to improve vagal flexibility and tone. Once they can do that, long haulers can spend more time in a "rest and digest" state so that their body can start the healing process and ultimately enhance physical and mental health.Long COVID—recognized as a physiological and vascular disease—is, in fact, associated with the nervous system, which mediates many of the symptoms experienced in the disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, nausea, dizziness, etc.Polyvagal Theory, initially put forward in 1994 by scientist Stephen Porges, focuses on a cranial nerve known as the vagus surrounding the parasympathetic nervous system. Polyvagal Theory offers implementing strategies and resources to help long haulers seek a healthy connection with their nervous system in order to enable us to respond more appropriately to stressful situations and trauma.While she is not a physician and cannot give medical treatment, Sally plays a crucial role in two ways: First, in connecting people with the doctors who have significant knowledge about Long COVID. Second, in helping clients calm their nervous systems so that they can reduce overwhelm and make the next right decision.For more information, visit www.sallyriggs.co

Lloydminster, SK - Bonnie Wirth is a highly regarded Empowerment Strategist, Emotional Resilience Expert, and Mentor.“Genuinely happy people grow through their hurts and experiences, they look past the difficult times, and hold unwavering faith.

Once we start choosing to do our part, in big ways or small, we will experience more harmonious living and joy. Life will smile back at us and anything we dream of will absolutely become possible.

The dental team handles the ins and outs of the business from accounting to hiring or firing, a well-trained staff is always one of the biggest components to an organization’s success.”“In dental school, dentists are not taught the business side of dentistry that’s why they may incessantly struggle to efficiently run an office.

Warwick, NY – Every lawsuit has three components: The evidence (the case itself), the law, and the subject matter. Most people – including all lawyers – think that the most important element is the law. Most experts realize that what is far more important is a knowledge – hopefully a mastery – of the subject matter. This insight led Close-Up News Radio to launch a series about expert witnesses – aimed largely at an audience of attorneys. Among those experts we sought was Ned Einstein, with 47 years of experience in the public transportation field, 34 years spent mostly as an expert witness, with 700 cases and more than 300 magazine articles (among other publications) “under his belt.”
Mr. Einstein is unusual not only as an expert, but unusual for anyone in his field. He had the good fortune of spending time directing or participating in projects, at the highest levels, in every single ground transportation mode: Transit, paratransit, schoolbus, special education, motorcoach, non-emergency medical transportation, taxis, TNC’s, shuttles and passenger rail services. He also spent a full decade directing the operations of his own 70-vehicle door-to-door paratransit system. Even more uniquely, he directed the design and marketing efforts associated with a European-manufactured schoolbus and motorcoach. He has the unique ability to see every mode from every angle. He also has a mastery of the industry standards of care in every sector, and a mastery of key regulations at the Federal level, and a working knowledge of many at the State level.
Mr. Einstein hopes that his presentation will be highly-informative, and that every attorney, good, bad or excellent, will learn a lot.

New York, NY - COVID Long Haulers can find a new resource to learn how to turn their lives around, with the help of Sally Riggs, psychologist and polyvagal coach, and her new Facebook community group.
Sally Riggs is a psychologist and polyvagal coach who helps COVID Long Haulers—people suffering with Long COVID—understand how to navigate the different states of their nervous system and to improve vagal flexibility and tone. Once they can do that, long haulers can spend more time in a "rest and digest" state so that their body can start the healing process and ultimately enhance physical and mental health.
Long COVID—recognized as a physiological and vascular disease—is, in fact, associated with the nervous system, which mediates many of the symptoms experienced in the disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, nausea, dizziness, etc.
Polyvagal Theory, initially put forward in 1994 by scientist Stephen Porges, focuses on a cranial nerve known as the vagus surrounding the parasympathetic nervous system. Polyvagal Theory offers implementing strategies and resources to help long haulers seek a healthy connection with their nervous system in order to enable us to respond more appropriately to stressful situations and trauma.
While she is not a physician and cannot give medical treatment, Sally plays a crucial role in two ways: First, in connecting people with the doctors who have significant knowledge about Long COVID. Second, in helping clients calm their nervous systems so that they can reduce overwhelm and make the next right decision.

WAUKESHA, WI - Dr. Victoria Mondloch has returned to Close Up Radio this fall to discuss her theories, case studies, and research into health and wellness solutions that can keep women more balanced, effective, healthy and youthful at every age and every hormonal stage. In the coming weeks she will be speaking on topics like Progesterone and its role in balancing women’s health and wellness, Postpartum Depression, and diseases of the female organs such as Endometriosis, Fibroids, Ovarian cysts and even Uterine, Ovarian and Breast Cancer. She will also talk about the gap in women’s health care and life expectancy, and how more preventive and specialized care bears on the statistics, particularly during the years she has been an OB/GYN.
She empowers patients so that they work together on diagnoses, care, and treatment. Often the key is hormone balancing. Since balancing, she looks much younger and is more vital than her true age would tell you. Dr. Mondloch wants to help other women take the same journey, so they can be highly functional, comfortable and valued throughout perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mondloch discusses much of this in one of the two books she has written about hormones and women’s health, titled Full Bloom.
Beyond recognition from patients, Dr. Mondloch has received many professional accolades. She was 4-star rated by US News and World Reports and named Best in Medicine by the American Health Council, each honor for her for her achievements in the Women’s Health field.

Verona, WI - Andrea Andree is a top-notch Empowerment Coach and Energy Healer and owner of The Empowered Living Space.
“Through my coaching, I help you identify the thought patterns keeping you from creating your optimal life and becoming the most authentic version of yourself. As an energy healer, I guide you to releasing the painful emotions behind those thoughts that weigh you down. Done continuously, this allows you to move into a greater unity with your higher self.”
Andrea accomplishes all this not by encouraging us to ignore or block out our thoughts and feelings but by embracing the thought, releasing the emotion, and tapping into the energy that we wish to feel.
Once we start to lose those old patterns, we have an opportunity to live more fully, unapologetically, to be more conscious, and consequently to achieve more of what we want in life.
Andrea says we can achieve this through our own life experiences and opportunities that help us grow because you “can’t heal till you learn to feel.”
“My coaching focuses on the connection between mindset work and body awareness. I help you reframe your thinking and develop a more empowering outlook on life. I inspire my clients to live as aligned to their soul as possible. When we do this our lives will become more joyful, vibrant, and profoundly empowered, with a more cohesive link between mind, body, and soul.”
Andrea teaches us to never be afraid to chase our dreams and to create a better way of thinking. To embody what we wish to see in the world and live fearlessly. By connecting with our spirit, living by our core values, and projecting positivity we can live meaningful lives that we love.

Canmore, AB – TLin Heidt is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, a form of body centered therapy, a certified yoga teacher and founder of LinHeidt.com and Earth Fire Water Air (EFWA)
Somatic Experiencing (SE) ™ is an extremely valuable approach because it recognizes that our mind and bodies are connected and that distressing experiences are stored in our tissue on a cellular level and in areas of the brain. Stress and anxiety can cause irreparable harm to our immune and other bodily systems, but somatic therapy releases these stuck energies that have remained in our bodies for possibly long periods of time. The work of Somatic Experience (along with Polyvagal theory) integrates mind, body and soul brings us back into clarity and coherence.
This work allows the nervous system to release and discharge locked energy and to return to balance. By using any of the tools of SE, yoga, meditation, and breathing and relaxation exercises, your heart and soul will be gently nourished and restored and you will begin to finally live the life you absolutely love.”
In Lin’s sessions, we are guided to connect with our internal state, foster receptivity and deep listening, and to pay attention to people, places, and things that bring us joy, so we begin to radiate and love ourselves more fully and unconditionally.
Along with somatic experiencing, Lin practices and teaches meditation and yoga from the Hatha and Vinyasa traditions. She describes yoga as the process of self awareness and coherence of the body mind and soul, and emphasizes how yoga is not simply a physical practice of fancy poses.
Lin’s mission is to help us live the most authentic, joyful lives possible.

Recently celebrating their 10th anniversary, she is a leader in the industry living her dream to the fullest and working tirelessly to educate us about the benefits of her company.
“Our products are individually made in Seattle, Washington because I am a firm believer in keeping jobs right here in the United States. We use highly technical materials with no harmful chemicals for the environment and our pups. Many of our components including tags, labels and packaging materials are even made here.

Fay purchased jackets for their long walks together. Hiring a talented seamstress, she designed a fashionable, warm, durable jackets and coats for Louie derived from the highest quality technical materials that are offered by top athletic brands.

Santa Monica, CA – Michelle King is an experienced registered Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, and addiction, with a focus on EMDR therapy.
Developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro, EMDR, which stands for “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing,” treats anything from trauma to addiction, anxiety, eating disorders, and panic attacks.
Describing EMDR as a brain-based therapy, Michelle explains how EMDR actually works. The brain has three parts: what we can call the “thinking brain,” the “feeling brain,” and the “primitive brain.” When a “regular” memory is processed, it is stored in the thinking brain, while traumatic memories are stored in the primitive brain, which is where the fight/flight/freeze response can get activated. In an EMDR session, Michelle facilitates bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, which reprocesses a traumatic memory and basically moves it from the primitive brain to the thinking brain. Afterwards, a person’s responses to trauma change, and the negative thoughts that have been causing them so much pain no longer have a strong emotional charge. They can become more at peace and once again, life can be good. Of course, every case is unique and results can vary, but EMDR therapy is scientifically proven to be very effective.

WAUKESHA, WI - Dr. Victoria Mondloch has returned to Close Up Radio this fall to discuss her theories, case studies, and research into health and wellness solutions that can keep women more balanced, effective, healthy and youthful at every age and every hormonal stage. In the coming weeks she will be speaking on topics like Progesterone and its role in balancing women’s health and wellness, Postpartum Depression, and diseases of the female organs such as Endometriosis, Fibroids, Ovarian cysts and even Uterine, Ovarian and Breast Cancer. She will also talk about the gap in women’s health care and life expectancy, and how more preventive and specialized care bears on the statistics, particularly during the years she has been an OB/GYN.
She empowers patients so that they work together on diagnoses, care, and treatment. Often the key is hormone balancing. Since balancing, she looks much younger and is more vital than her true age would tell you. Dr. Mondloch wants to help other women take the same journey, so they can be highly functional, comfortable and valued throughout perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mondloch discusses much of this in one of the two books she has written about hormones and women’s health, titled Full Bloom.
Beyond recognition from patients, Dr. Mondloch has received many professional accolades. She was 4-star rated by US News and World Reports and named Best in Medicine by the American Health Council, each honor for her for her achievements in the Women’s Health field.

Lloydminster, SK - Bonnie Wirth is a highly regarded Empowerment Strategist, Emotional Resilience Expert, and Mentor.
“Genuinely happy people grow through their hurts and experiences, they look past the difficult times, and hold unwavering faith. No matter what happens, from the personal upheavals or to the disastrous events occurring in the world around us, keeping faith in our Higher Power will always keep us grounded, strong, and give us hope when we need it the most.”
Bonnie encourages us to not only engage in self-care and loving who we are but to extend this love right in our very own homes, at work, among our circle of friends. We can literally make the world a better place by being kind and empathetic.
Her work is centered on healing mind, body, and soul. When we are genuinely happy, we become a light, an inspiration to everyone around us.
“By turning to harmful ways of coping like alcohol, drugs, or other addictive behaviors, mistreating our selves or even striking out in violence or discriminating against others, we are not allowing for the positive change we want to see in the world. How can that happen when we are harming ourselves and others in the most detrimental and traumatic ways?”
Healing the world starts within each of us. We are all responsible for this. Once we start choosing to do our part, in big ways or small, we will experience more harmonious living and joy. Life will smile back at us and anything we dream of will absolutely become possible. Life moves in cycles and it’s not about resisting change but opening to it in the kindest and most compassionate ways. This is how we embrace our evolution. This is how we evolve.

"The goal or vision you ultimately have for yourself, or your organization should sincerely be treasured. You should keep your ears open, and your eyes peeled to people that can add to it and make it flourish and come to fruition. Think of it as a seed planted in your heart. Some people you meet might add droplets while others might pour into it the nutrients it needs to grow and prosper. Regardless, we can never give up on that vision and that's the type of guidance I provide people and organizations.”

Hustontown, PA – Dr. Sharon Martin is a highly sought-after shamanic energy healer and allopathic physician. She is a rare physician who blends traditional Western medicine with shamanism.
“As an internal medicine physician trained at one of the most prestigious Ivy league medical schools, over the years I started to realize that regardless of how many medications people take, recovery came from a variety of healing practices. We can be fighting cancer and yet feel healed if we are aligned with our soul and feel right with the world. Through my years of practicing medicine, I have perceived the limits of today’s modern drugs and how people are not empowered over their own health and well -being. As humans, we all have access to a life force that exists outside of the realm of prescription medicine. And as physicians and healers if we can successfully help people tap into that, then the possibilities to heal are absolutely limitless.”
Doctor Martin practices traditional Internal Medicine in a rural clinic in South Central PA. She works with her shamanic and alternative medicine clients remotely, and she can be contacted by email at sharon@drsharonmartin.com.
Doctor Martin is the author of “Maximize Your Healing Power: Shamanic Techniques to Shift Your Health Challenges” to be published by Inner Traditions in May 2023. This book can be preordered on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
She is also the host of two radio shows, hosted on the Transformation Talk Network, titled Maximum Medicine and Sacred Magic. These shows are streamed live on Facebook and details can be found on Doctor Martin’s website:.www.drsharonmartin.com

Sewaren, NJ – Connie Elek is a psychic medium, clairvoyant, empath, Reiki master, Tarot reader and angel power therapist.
Connie channels souls who have passed over to help clients find a sense of closure when a loved one has died.
“When I was a child, everyone just thought I had an active imagination,” recalls Connie. “I knew that I had abilities that other people didn't have. I knew what was going to happen before it happened.”
Today, Connie says it’s her soul's calling to help people who are in distress and in transition. Connie says she is almost always able to make contact with the deceased loved one to bring them messages of what actually happened.
The future can scary. If we don't have someone to talk to, it's difficult to take that first step toward the future. In assembling all these modalities, it's one thing to have the talent, but Connie has created structure around her abilities.
In addition to her work as a psychic medium, Connie also helps clients navigate transition in their lives, like marriage, separation, divorce, illness, death, loss of jobs, children leaving home. All are stress factors that people face every day. Some people cope better than others dealing with life's ever changing conditions.
“It's enabling people to find what is it that they love to do,” says Connie. “What are you passionate about? It doesn't matter, as long as you find joy in what it is that you're doing. For me, it's helping people.”
“I’m most proud of helping people find their passion and their joy. It's what gives me a great sense of accomplishment.”

Los Angeles, CA – Luz Chacon is a highly sought-after Wellness Coach and EFT/Tapping Practitioner.
After becoming a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2013, Luz recognized that most of her clients who were struggling to stick to healthy eating were doing so because they had an ingrained pattern of escaping from their emotions with food.
With Luz’s practical, holistic approach she helps us create a new mindset around food so we can step into a lifestyle enriched with self-care, self-love, and tools to better manage stress and emotions. One of the most effective tools she uses to help us on our healing journey is Emotional Freedom Techniques, which involves tapping on the end points of “energy meridians”. While it may sound or look strange, EFT/Tapping is a scientifically-proven modality that lowers stress hormones and has been shown to help with cravings, weight loss, phobias, anxiety, emotional distress, pain, and more. Luz wholeheartedly incorporates Tapping into her work with amazing results.
Another part of her work entails offering workplace wellness services. She offers workshops and programs to help employees and companies prioritize self-care and well-being in order to reduce stress and burnout. The pandemic has significantly increased stress among employees in many sectors resulting in high turnover rates.
Luz reminds us that a health coach doesn’t tell you what to do; they guide you in the right direction and support you to get there. She is our cheerleader, our partner, and biggest advocate.

Mount Pleasant, SC - Alisa Turner is a highly sought-after Integrative Nutrition Coach and founder and owner of Alisa Turner Health.
Alisa notes, “My work is focused on helping people heal their relationship with food. Most clients who seek me out have intense and distorted emotional relationships to food, and they feel powerless over their food choices. Many are on a drug/alcohol addiction or eating disorder recovery journey. Some are nighttime emotional eaters, and others are trying to break an unhealthy familial relationship to food that has been passed down generationally.
Alisa’s work is rooted in an understanding that physical and emotional health is everything. Her role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you tap into your body’s intuitive healing ability by challenging you with some strategic incremental improvements and by being a voice of encouragement and validation. She offers tools to combat your critical, self-defeating thoughts and to restore you to balance in mind, body, and spirit. When we have inner peace, it’s much easier to make healthy food choices.
Alisa decided to pursue a career as a health coach from her own personal journey with eating disorders, addiction, and ending a toxic career.
Today, she is helping hundreds of clients heal old patterns in order to achieve their health goals and love life again by connecting the dots to figure out what negatively affects their health. Her evidence-based, strategic tracking system gives her a bird’s eye view of the biggest culprits, and it enables her to customize a plan to precisely tackle health concerns.

WAUKESHA, WI - When it comes to women’s health complaints, many doctors fail to listen to patients or get to the root cause of their problems. They are not always able to help women separate myth from reality and come to grips with what is going on inside them. So, their problems with perimenopause, menopause and even menstruation are shrouded in wonder and disinformation. There is one doctor, however, who cares deeply. She is a top-ranked OB/GYN with nearly 35 years of practice experience, and she not only looks at the hormone connection to women’s health concerns but has made it her mission to raise awareness of it! That Doctor is Victoria J. Mondloch.
As the cover of her second book, Full Bloom says, we must all learn “The Ground-Breaking Truth about Your Hormones & Health.”
Patients applaud Dr. Mondloch, or Doctor Vicki as most call her, for listening, testing, and looking more deeply into their multiple health issues. Beyond recognition from patients, Dr. Mondloch has received professional accolades too. She was 4-star rated by US News and World Reports and named Best in Medicine by the American Health Council, each honor for her for her achievements in Women’s Health.
Dr. Mondloch is going to divulge truths found in Full Bloom (oriented to women in their 30’s and older), and her first book Blossoming (which centers on the pubescent years to age 30). She will also discuss a youtube channel she launched called Hey Doc,What’s Up? and information women can find there.

San Francisco, CA – Ellen Rothstein is a certified Life Transition Coach, an exhibiting artist, and a contributing author for She Is You, a supportive community helping women in their 40s, 50s reinvent their lives with passion and confidence.
“As a coach I guide and assist individuals facing any type of life transition to help them acquire self-assurance as they envision what their transition will look like, ensuring they gain new insight and fresh perspective. Together we create strategies that are customized and actionable so that they can work through barriers and live life on their own terms.”
Before becoming a coach, Ellen received a B.A. from University of California, Berkeley, and worked as a successful artist for a number of years. After she married and had two children, she worked in advertising and digital media, and after many years of dedicated work she ended up getting laid off. It was an eye opener - as an older woman being in a young tech town it was difficult to get hired. But she worked with a Life Coach who asked her what had given her the greatest satisfaction at work. She realized it was when she was acting as a liaison with people, and she had often been told she was very intuitive. This led her to become a Life Transition Coach, helping others to feel more empowered themselves.
Ellen encourages us to always be true to ourselves.
“When we listen to our inner voice, we are being authentic to who we really are because we are being honest about what is most important to us. By confronting our fears and roadblocks and freeing our innate wisdom and experience to guide us, we can then develop an actional plan to achieve our aspirations.”

Guelph, ON - We have been so influenced by our limiting beliefs of what constitutes a successful woman that we are easily caught off-guard and without resources when the structures start to crumble around us.
We are adrift and a sense of disempowerment can easily creep in as a societal and internally perceived decline into mediocrity takes hold.
Society does not define us. We have always defined ourselves, even within the structures that we operated within. The real challenge is how to step outside of those structures of beliefs that create our value and decisions about who we are as self-actualizing human beings to our very last breath and beyond.
As an experienced Certified Practitioner of NLP, Timeline and Hypnosis, utilizing a virtually content free, evidence driven, results based ‘Do With’ vs. ‘Do To’ proven system, I serve as your Guide to real and lasting change from your unwanted patterns served by outdated beliefs about yourself and the world you live within. From the first visit, my clients have been known to experience inner shifts and change that they never imagined possible, and with ease. I treat Health, Wealth, Love issues, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Phobias, and any trailing feelings, thoughts and behavior that get in the way of living to our full potential.
I believe all of what I do is even more important as we move out of the systems that have rewarded us into being ourselves, more fully and completely, into the truest time of freedom of our lives, The freedom to choose who we Are, with all of our magnificent wisdom and skills that we have built and continue to build, as an integral, meaningful and vital part of society as a whole.

Boulder, CO – Avinash Phipps, along with his partner Punitama Phipps are the founders of The Sattva Institute for Transformation integrating Western Psychological models and Eastern Philosophy and Mindfulness work for overall holistic health and healing.
“Through my unique teachings from mindfulness techniques, mediation, and trauma resolution. Through the unique teachings of mindfulness, meditation, and trauma resolution I bring more consciousness, wholeness, and wellness into your life. By uncovering personality blocks you will feel more energetic and literally improve your mental and physical health achieving harmony and balance mind, body, and spirit.”
Recent scientific evidence supports the fact that mindfulness meditation helps us resolve trauma. Avinash emphasizes that his distinctive unique approach is not external, based on the world around us, but who we really are internally. In fact, he says, our personalities are based on masks, because we are living in superficiality since our past conditionings, beliefs, worries, and anxieties block us from experiencing who we really are because we generally “act” as society expects us to causing us to feel lost and disconnected.
As a sought-after group leader meditation mentor, much of Avinash’s teachings are done through his engaging workshops, seminar and individual sessions where he teaches a variety of modalities like self-exploration and Breath and Trauma Release.
“We all face adversity and grief but we can manage these issues when we are physically and emotionally healthy and whole.”

WAUKESHA, WI - There are many health conditions that impact the lives of women. Many doctors fail to listen to patients and get to the root cause of their problems, but one doctor, a top-ranked OB/GYN with nearly 35 years of practice experience, not only looks at the hormone connection but has made it her mission to raise awareness of it! That Doctor is Victoria J. Mondloch.
Dr. Mondloch listens to patients so well that they view her as a partner and ally, and most refer to her as Doctor Vicki. As her website notes, she aims to empower patients, work together on diagnoses, partner in care and treatment, and discover the best steps to take towards optimal health. Often the key is hormone balancing, something the doctor herself learned when she had various skin and auto-immune symptoms back at the peri-menopausal stage.
Beyond her recognition and accolades from patients, Dr. Mondloch was 4-star rated by US News and World Reports and named Best in Medicine by the American Health Council, each authority honoring her for her achievements in Women’s Health.

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY - Maureen has dedicated her life to education and Christopher taught for a time as well. Two of her daughters also became teachers. She made one more notable contribution to the education field when she established The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund in honor of her son.
“He wanted to be a firefighter from the youngest age. So, we decided to honor him in a way that would help other students pursue their dreams too. Children need to hear that nothing should stand in the way of achieving what you wish for.” Over these years, the scholarship fund has endowed about three-quarters of a million dollars at many levels and continues to have influence for high school students.
Maureen is a noted education advocated and a teacher whose career began in 1967 and stopped only a few years ago. There was a small gap while she raised her four children, three of whom went into the education field as well. Maureen believes the first, best, and most constant teacher any child could have is their parent, and that every aspect of life together should center on education—from dinner table debates to family outings.
Maureen has nurtured families, students and other educational professionals, and participated in shaping curriculum, sharing effective methods, and creating the latest programs and policies. She focused on early childhood education (usually grades K to 2). She wishes we could get back to basics, and teaching geared to the most intelligent students. She loves to see parents and teachers thoroughly involved in education, both at home and in the community.

Wauconda, IL – Lila Solnick is a Certified Emotion Code® and Body Code™ Practitioner and the owner of Whole Heart Alchemy.
“I help people release trapped emotional baggage picked up from any traumatic experience throughout their lives. Research supports the fact that, if left untreated, emotional trauma often negatively impacts our wellbeing. This makes us more susceptible to chronic health conditions, strokes, diabetes, and all types of debilitating diseases that can affect us years after the trauma has occurred. After all, our minds and bodies are connected and when we don’t heal from our emotional wounds it stops us from fully connecting with ourselves and others and living our best lives.”
The Emotion Code® and Body Code™ were created by Dr. Bradley Nelson, a holistic chiropractor and medical intuitive. Dr. Nelson is one of the world’s most notable experts in the emerging fields of Bioenergetic Medicine and Energy Psychology. When he discovered that releasing trapped emotions allows the body to truly heal, he made it possible for every single one of us to live free from the physical and emotional wounds we experience in our daily lives.
Lila emphasizes how we are all energetic multi-dimensional beings having a human experience. We create our physical health and mental condition by the thoughts and emotions we choose. By embracing elevated emotions, we can create wholeness and joy which will lead to health and wellbeing. This is a partnership, where the client takes responsibility for consciously changing their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions to maximize the potential of working together. The Emotion Code® and Body Code™ make this journey much easier.

Verona, WI – Andrea Andree is a top-notch Empowerment Coach and Energy Healer and owner of The Empowered Living Space.
“My focus is working with moms who are feeling stuck and seeking to improve their lives, leverage their potential, and improve the ongoing process of being in a relationship with their child. I help you break through your energetic blocks and restore the balance and flow of energy throughout your body and soul, clarify what is important to you so you can overcome obstacles, and empower you to create strategies for achieving your goals.”
Before going into coaching, Andrea was working at a corporate job that left her feeling drained every day, while undergoing her own struggles as a new mom. One behavior that took her by surprise was how often she was yelling at and reacting to her small child. Seeking a more compassionate approach to parenting, she began exploring ways to regain control. It led her to learn about energy healing and how it helps diffuse triggers. She uses these techniques in her coaching, which helps her clients enhance their sense of confidence and look towards the future with optimism and hope.
The key is to let go of the disempowering thoughts, release the suppressed emotions, then call in the energy we want to feel instead. Once we feel the energy within our body, we can direct it out toward the goals we have in mind.
One of her favorite quotes is, “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” because it’s easier to change ourselves than convince someone else to change.

Asheville, NC – Tara Chandler is an experienced counselor focused on Somatic and EMDR treatment interventions that help individuals deal with emotional, psychological, and physical trauma and co-owner of Appalachian Counseling and Psychological Services.
For over ten years, Tara has been helping clients heal from their past wounds and pain through a specific type of somatic therapy, EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This therapy uses bilateral stimulation by moving the eyes in a directed way, to blur the emotions connected to any horrible experiences we have gone through. It can also help with anxiety disorders, depression, and even panic attacks.
Aside from EMDR, another therapy tool she uses somatic therapy, examines the body’s relationship to the mind and actually helps us get connected to our bodies. Because when we undergo trauma, our bodies hold on to memories of that trauma and we need to release them in order to fully recover. Through techniques like breathing exercises, dancing, and meditation we begin to genuinely feel better, lighter, with a better sense of purpose and renewed confidence.
Tara’s work is also tremendously focused on working with women going through any life transition, from divorce or relationship breakup, dealing with the loss of a loved one, becoming empty nesters, career changes, menopause, motivating us to achieve greatness and not get stuck in our limiting beliefs.
“If you are struggling with trauma and other challenges and issues you don’t have to suffer in silence and pain. There is no shame in reaching out for help and the benefits will be incredible. You can move from inner conflict to harmony and I am here to help you get there.”

Brooksville, FL - Dr. Sastry was inspired to become an infectious diseases doctor so she could help people live longer lives free of pain and diseases. She emphasizes how a simple vaccine or drug could mean a lifetime of freedom from illnesses. Infections can be absolutely cured with a proper diagnosis and her life- long mission is being able to help patients live healthy and successful lives.
Today, she says we are much more equipped to fight COVID-19 should there be a surge because of the number of people who have gotten vaccinated and boosted. In fact, unvaccinated people still face the most risk from COVID-19. She stresses how we should stay up to date on our vaccines and precautions they should take based on their health history and risk tolerance. Vaccine boosters targeted to combat the omicron subvariants and new vaccines are arriving soon and be widely available.
Other infectious diseases are looming. For instance, a global outbreak of mosquito diseases such as malaria and west Nile virus are of huge concern The common diseases that are spread through a mosquito bite are Malaria, West Nile, and Zike. With global temperatures rising, ecosystems shifting and mosquitos are spreading into new places formerly unwelcoming to their species, spreading malaria, West Nile virus, and dengue.
According to studies, over half of all known infectious diseases have been even made worse by climate change a dire consequence of human activities like deforestation. It’s critical we cut greenhouse gas emissions not only to decrease the spread and gravity of infectious diseases but for the health and longevity of our planet. Research supports by staggering numbers that climate hazards like heat waves, droughts, and ocean warming, are all linked to infectious diseases. We are being crippled by the incumbrance of these deadly diseases and every one of us is at risk.
WAUKESHA, WI - There are many health conditions that impact the lives of women. Many doctors fail to listen to patients and get to the root cause of their problems, but one doctor, a top-ranked OB/GYN with nearly 35 years of practice experience, not only looks at the hormone connection but has made it her mission to raise awareness of it! That Doctor is Victoria J. Mondloch.
Dr. Mondloch listens to patients so well that they view her as a partner and ally, and most refer to her as Doctor Vicki. As her website notes, she aims to empower patients, work together on diagnoses, partner in care and treatment, and discover the best steps to take towards optimal health. Often the key is hormone balancing, something the doctor herself learned when she had various skin and auto-immune symptoms back at the peri-menopausal stage.
Beyond her recognition and accolades from patients, Dr. Mondloch was 4-star rated by US News and World Reports and named Best in Medicine by the American Health Council, each authority honoring her for her achievements in Women’s Health.
In this new radio series, Dr. Mondloch will discuss Full Bloom, her first book Blossoming (which centers on the pubescent years to age 30) and the section she contributed to a new book published by The Professional Women’s Network. She will also reveal firsthand experiences with her health and her daughters, and why she turned her back on a successful group practice to explore leading edge medical approaches.

Eden Prairie, MN – Ursula Pottinga is a highly sought after Thought Leader, keynote speaker, a certified Neuro-Transformational Coach, and the owner of Profound Growth which utilizes coaching tools based on brain science.
Ursula reveals what is invisible to us, what is not serving us, and how we can change it. When we live in a way that is more integrated, and aligned, it creates a healthier body and a powerful mind. Ursula says there is also a spiritual nature to creating abundance. Her passion is to help people wake up to that reality. Ursula has created an effective coaching program to help people who are on that journey of discovery.
“When you attune to your heart you can access inner truth and what you truly want. Without this knowledge it will be difficult to ascertain or figure out your contribution to the world. It can’t just be about making money but something more profound. By contributing to the greater good we discover greater purpose.”
Ursula affirms, “My work is scientific as well as spiritual because everything is connected.”
Moreover, it’s absolutely essential she says that we live mindfully, not anticipating that happiness lies only in our future, like buying a new car or retiring, it’s about our present happiness. Today is what matters because today we create the future.
“Allow your life to be something bigger than you are and recognize that awareness of who you are is the most important step in the process.

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY - Maureen has dedicated her life to education and Christopher taught for a time as well. Two of her daughters also became teachers. She made one more notable contribution to the education field when she established The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund in honor of her son.
“He wanted to be a firefighter from the youngest age. So, we decided to honor him in a way that would help other students pursue their dreams too.

Maureen is a noted education advocated and a teacher whose career began in 1967 and stopped only a few years ago. There was a small gap while she raised her four children, three of whom went into the education field as well. Maureen believes the first, best, and most constant teacher any child could have is their parent, and that every aspect of life together should center on education—from dinner table debates to family outings.
Maureen has nurtured families, students and other educational professionals, and participated in shaping curriculum, sharing effective methods, and creating the latest programs and policies. She focused on early childhood education (usually grades K to 2). She wishes we could get back to basics, and teaching geared to the most intelligent students. She loves to see parents and teachers thoroughly involved in education, both at home and in the community.

Bedford, NY - Anne Reid is a dynamic personal development coach and keynote speaker who was always willing to step outside the box into a new challenge. It started back in her college days, when she travelled to Europe by herself and ventured on a post-graduation cross-country car trip with her roommate – taking nothing but a tent, a road atlas, and an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. Anne still consciously chooses to do something slightly outside her comfort zone daily. She describes this process of seeking and embracing discomfort as providing opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth. Such practices help set the tone for Anne’s life and contributed to her decision to become a coach full-time.
There was another element to her decision, a personal experience that led Anne to realize the full value of the coaching relationship. It was when this avowed outdoorsperson who had never walked or biked more than 10 miles in a single day, decided to enter a 100-mile bicycling event.
Anne believes it is also important to help clients identify the resources they’ll need for their journey—whether that might be more funding, equipment, specialized training or just mental fortitude.
Before becoming a coach and increasingly popular speaker and workshop leader, Anne spent many years rising through the ranks of the financial industry, dealing with the sale of securities and real estate projects. When her daughters reached a certain age in the early 2000’s, Anne wanted to be more flexible, more available, and to do something that felt more like a calling than work. So, she underwent her first coaching training. The rest is history.

Dr. Vatsala Sastry provides her unique insight in the fight against infectious diseases.
Dr. Sastry was raised in India from hard working, intellectual parents who were sharp-witted, positive role models instilling in from an early age the high value of education.
She went to Tulsa and acquired her undergraduate degree at University of Tulsa in computer/electrical engineering. At that point, she decided to attend medical school at M.S.

Murrells Inlet, SC - The horror of human trafficking takes place in almost every area of the world. Everyday millions of adults and children worldwide are bought and sold, exploited, and violently abused through forced labor or sexual exploitation.
Betty Houbion is a human sex trafficking educator, advocate, and one of the most influential voices in raising awareness.
“Tragically, thousands of victims are trafficked into the United States annually. I encourage all of us to become involved in making change. For instance, spreading awareness in schools and universities. Also making certain to find local, state, and federal government representatives and encourage them to make stricter laws and make trafficking a policy priority.
Men are also diabolically lured into forced labor with false promises of a better life. No matter what race, color, religion, age, gender socioeconomic status, or education level, human traffickers relentlessly prey on their victims but generally exploit the most vulnerable people they can lure or trick into slavery. Remaining vigilant, knowing the signs of potential traffickers, and becoming more aware of our surroundings are also key to protecting ourselves and loved ones.
“Monitor your child’s online friends. Love them wholeheartedly and speak with them with understanding and love so they don’t become runaways and end up on the streets as easy prey. Everything you do makes all the difference in the world to keeping yourself and your family safe.”
Don’t miss Betty’s two-part radio interview where she will also go over current cases and share some poignant survival stories that will inspire you.

Raleigh, NC - Lena Jackson is a young businesswoman with a story similar to that of many job seekers she supports in their efforts. She had risen to the top of the corporate ladder, but instead of being joyful about her accomplishments she felt a sense of dread at the thought of returning to work each Monday. By starting her own business, she satisfied her creative side, and feels more passion for what she’s doing. Lena’s team provides solutions that are effective, starting with the cornerstone service that gives the consultancy its name, The Resume Fix. Guidance is available for job transformations at every level, from the recent graduate to a top tier executive.
“We offer professional and creative resume writing, and several other services that facilitate results.”
Lena notes that her small team does a lot of career coaching with clients, whose challenges fall into three buckets. One is that they need help with interviews, especially once their enhanced resume gets them to the interview stage. The Resume Fix people walk job hunters through the process from A to Z, so they “show up in a major way” and have a more successful interview.
Lena mentions other services they provide for the modern job search, such as helping people evaluate their role or employment situation to see if that is truly the right spot. They assess benefits, work/life balance, and individual skills, particularly when it comes to working remotely. The Resume Fix team’s last area of focus is the enthusiasm for the work we do.

Saskatchewan, Canada - Elaine Unruh is a woman’s health advocate and owner of Ask Big Sister.
“My website and community page Hot Flashes to Menopause were developed based on candid conversations I had with clients and friends over the years who felt free to talk straightforwardly about their lives and sexual health issues. Women to women, we openly discussed health and sexual health, living with debilitating conditions and straight talk about everything from hormones, intercourse, relationships and being a woman. Through these candid conversations, I watched women open up thus eliminating the shame and stigma surrounding vaginal health by allowing them to view their sexuality with positivity and joy.”
Using the Sisterhood approach, Elaine’s website is designed for all of us to enjoy these frank discussions about everything from sexuality, healthy relationship behaviour, and reproductive health so we can stay informed and know we aren’t alone no matter what issue we face as our bodies evolve over time. Her site and community page are styled in an open forum format so women can actively ask questions and learn from the experiences of other women facing the same issues.
She became inspired to help others and pave the way for her own daughters and other women as they encounter issues so they won’t have to struggle to find answers as she did. Ask Big Sister allows you to ask the sisterhood for support and answers.

Bedford, NY - Anne Reid is a dynamic personal development coach and keynote speaker who was always willing to step outside the box into a new challenge. It started back in her college days, when she travelled to Europe by herself and ventured on a post-graduation cross-country car trip with her roommate – taking nothing but a tent, a road atlas, and an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. Anne still consciously chooses to do something slightly outside her comfort zone daily. She describes this process of seeking and embracing discomfort as providing opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth. Such practices help set the tone for Anne’s life and contributed to her decision to become a coach full-time.
There was another element to her decision, a personal experience that led Anne to realize the full value of the coaching relationship. It was when this avowed outdoorsperson who had never walked or biked more than 10 miles in a single day, decided to enter a 100-mile bicycling event.
Anne believes it is also important to help clients identify the resources they’ll need for their journey—whether that might be more funding, equipment, specialized training or just mental fortitude.
Before becoming a coach and increasingly popular speaker and workshop leader, Anne spent many years rising through the ranks of the financial industry, dealing with the sale of securities and real estate projects. When her daughters reached a certain age in the early 2000’s, Anne wanted to be more flexible, more available, and to do something that felt more like a calling than work. So, she underwent her first coaching training. The rest is history.

Murrells Inlet, SC - The horror of human trafficking takes place in almost every area of the world. Everyday millions of adults and children worldwide are bought and sold, exploited, and violently abused through forced labor or sexual exploitation.
Betty Houbion is a human sex trafficking educator, advocate, and one of the most influential voices in raising awareness.
“Tragically, thousands of victims are trafficked into the United States annually. I encourage all of us to become involved in making change. For instance, spreading awareness in schools and universities. Also making certain to find local, state, and federal government representatives and encourage them to make stricter laws and make trafficking a policy priority.
Men are also diabolically lured into forced labor with false promises of a better life. No matter what race, color, religion, age, gender socioeconomic status, or education level, human traffickers relentlessly prey on their victims but generally exploit the most vulnerable people they can lure or trick into slavery. Remaining vigilant, knowing the signs of potential traffickers, and becoming more aware of our surroundings are also key to protecting ourselves and loved ones.
“Monitor your child’s online friends. Love them wholeheartedly and speak with them with understanding and love so they don’t become runaways and end up on the streets as easy prey. Everything you do makes all the difference in the world to keeping yourself and your family safe.”
Don’t miss Betty’s two-part radio interview where she will also go over current cases and share some poignant survival stories that will inspire you.

Yerington, NV – Patricia L. Blake is a retired police lieutenant and the author of Touched by the Hand of God in the City of Angels – Sent Me!
Patricia’s story began in her early childhood growing up in Oregon. As the firstborn of four children each born one year apart, she was expected by her parents to watch over her brother and two sisters. They would play cops and robbers and “Catch the Bad Guys”. In 1972, when she was 19, Patricia experienced a devastating traumatic event when her husband of four months, returning from serving two tours in the Vietnam War, tragically took his own life with a rifle. In the midst of her grief and pain, Patricia experienced a powerful miracle when she felt the hand of God or one of his Angels on her right shoulder. Instantly, her pain and grief was replaced by an incredibly loving presence and power of peace, love, and comfort.
Filled with new profound sense of awareness of God and his Angels watching over us guided her path into the field of law enforcement as First Responders and warriors for God’s Will, as she endearingly words it, “To be the devoted protectors of our most innocent and vulnerable.”
In 1983, Patricia was one of the first female police officers working the streets in Los Angeles.
Today, retired but still active as a Reserve with the LAPD in the local community, her mission reminds us of the transformative power of our own humanity, that even in these overwhelming difficult times of struggle, God surrounds us and protects us and shields us with his eternal love, forgiveness and power. Her book “Touched by the Hand of God in the City of Angels – Send me,” will be released soon during the beginning of August through Amazon and Barnes and Nobel on Kindle, hard cover and paperback.
Toronto, ON - Jason Young is the President and founding partner of Advantage Forensics, a forensic engineering firm based in Toronto. Jason has been featured in the media across Canada and on expert panels in the U.S. for his vast knowledge in Collision Reconstruction, Human Factors, and Biomechanics.
“As an expert forensic engineer, I investigate collisions, biomechanics, and all kinds of slips, trips, falls, and unfortunate accidents people get into on daily basis. I testify on slippery conditions, on vehicle speeds, on injury fraud, and on all human factors contributing to accidents. Ultimately, my job is to assist the court by explaining the science and engineering behind the case in clear-cut language that they will understand.”
One of the highlights that sets Advantage Forensics apart from other firms is their incredible attention to detail using the most state of the art analysis tools. Advantage Forensics uses highly sophisticated collision simulation software, forensic video analysis software, and vehicle download software for infotainment consoles that most experts have never been trained in.
“We are also recognized world-wide experts in night time collision investigation and re-enactment. We have re-enacted the most complex night time collision scenarios that most other firms won’t even attempt.”
All of these cases either proceed to trial with a judge and jury, or settle out of court. In fact, one of the major frustrations in the industry, according to Jason, is throroughly preparing for court on a case that ends up settling at the doorsteps of trial.

Atlanta, GA – Lisa Edmondson is a Leadership Coach and founder of Leadership Reno, LLC
“My primary goal is to convince organizations to redefine the characteristics of a successful people leader, recalibrate the metrics used to measure their success, and raise awareness about the severity of the consequences that result when organizations don’t get it right. Toxic leaders and bullying in the workplace have become a global pandemic that is a key contributor to the Great Resignation. Unequivocally, people-leaders have the most influencial role in an organization when it comes to employee engagement and productivity. They can make or break the success of an organization. For instance, when people-leaders engage with their employees with authenticity, genuine empathy, self-awareness, and strong communication skills, they inspire personal and professional growth. This results in the innovation and productivity that positively impact the bottom line.”
Before starting her coaching practice, Lisa experienced her own personal struggle as a target of workplace bullying. Having worked at a company successfully for almost 11 years, she suddenly found herself in a scenario where she experienced intimidation, harassment, and sabotage that ultimately cost her a job where she was revered by her employees. Today, she finds fulfillment speaking about her experience and collaborating with other industry experts to fight the battle against workplace bullying.
Lisa believes great people-leaders are the solution to companies struggling with a disengaged and disconnected work force. A leader who puts their people first creates an optimistic, collaborative workplace destined for success.

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY - Maureen Santora has dedicated her life to education. She also embraced education professionally, as a teacher since 1967 who only retired a few years ago. There was a small gap while she raised her four children, three of whom went into the education field as well. Maureen believes the first, best, and most constant teacher any child can have is their parent.
Maureen has been a vocal advocate for education and is a notable expert in the field. She supports families, students and other professionals in shaping curriculum, sharing effective methods, and creating programs and policies. She made another notable contribution to education when she established The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund in honor of her son, who was a history major, then a substitute teacher and a firefighter. Sadly, Christopher passed away in the September 11th national tragedy.
“He wanted to be a firefighter from the youngest age. So, we decided to honor him in a way that would help other students pursue their dreams too. Children need to hear that nothing should stand in the way of achieving what you wish for.” Over these past 20 years, the scholarship fund has endowed about three-quarters of a million dollars at many levels and continues to make a difference for high school students.
Maureen has particular expertise in early childhood education. She wishes we could get back to basics, and teaching geared to the most intelligent students.
Maureen also encourages parents to take a more active role in their child’s education, at the home and school levels.

Columbia MD – Tom Glenn is a Vietnam vet who has had multiple careers including intelligence operative, musician, linguist in seven languages, cryptologist, caregiver for the dying, and leadership coach. He has a BA in Music, a master’s in government, and a doctorate in Public Administration. A public speaker, he is the author of a series of novels and short story collections: Friendly Casualties, Last of the Annamese, The Trion Syndrome, No-Accounts, Secretocracy, and Coming to Terms.
“It’s unbelievable how the U.S. essentially and unapologetically glorifies combat. I stopped reading books on war because they never truly captured the savagery, carnage, and the unimaginable devastation that surrounded us on the battlefield. How we had to witness our buddies horrifically killed when their mutilated body parts landed all over us. The helplessness, suffering, and anguish of combat is indescribable.”
With such gut wrenching accounts, how does it not evoke our sense of humanity? Yet we continually disengage and desensitize ourselves and enjoy watching bloodshed depicted in movies which moastly are purely made for entertainment and profit.
Tom emphasizes how today the similarities of the atrocities in Ukraine remind Tom of the senselessness and depravity of putting young soldiers through the horror of battle.
Tom says the United States must restore its international leadership role. “It is crucial that we lead the world toward universal democracy and freedom.”

Clarksville, TN - Margaret Rennerfeldt has an MFA in Dance and Performance and is a member of ISMETA, the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association, as well as SEI Somatic Experiencing International. Several years ago, while continuing to teach reading and dance, she launched a new venture. Mindful Movement is dedicated to authentic and creative movement, innovative and technical approaches, and the ability to spur emotional growth and heal trauma via the physical body.
“My work is different from any psychologist or talk therapist in that it’s not about the story, or about talking, it’s about discovering what is left in the body that was not completed during a traumatic event.”
Margaret understands that when you move the body in distinct ways stuff comes up. People don’t always understand what is happening and what they are feeling and that’s where her role as a teacher, somatic educator and somatic experiencing practitioner comes in. In a typical one-on-one session, Margaret invites the sensations to arise, encourages people to be curious about them, and observes movements as well as subtle changes in the nervous system. Together, they explore all that is taking place. Sometimes people will identify a certain trauma, pain, or unresolved aggression.
Margaret has not performed in recent years but says she will always be a dancer and use her body as long as she can. She believes her passion for dance and knowledge of how the body works are invaluable in helping others to explore movement and achieve optimal wellness.

On the other hand, astrology is based more on archetypes and how they relate to one another, although Tarot and astrology strongly intertwine to help us reconnect with our inner selves. While astrology focuses on planetary movements, Tarot depends on the reader’s interpretation of the cards. With positive, encouraging guidance, Rose helps us become self-aware of our issues and concerns so can take our next steps with renewed confidence and greater perception.
As a medium, Rose connects us with those who have passed on.
Aside from her readings, Rose expertly shares her gifts by teaching classes in psychic development, mediumship, and reading Tarot cards. Additionally, she helps writers, actors and artists tap into their intuitive, creative sides so they can thrive in their professional careers.
“I absolutely love guiding my clients and helping them find comfort and purpose through my guidance. My mission is to help you obtain a wonderful life that is right within your reach.”

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY - Maureen Santora has dedicated her life to education. She also embraced education professionally, as a teacher since 1967 who only retired a few years ago. There was a small gap while she raised her four children, three of whom went into the education field as well. Maureen believes the first, best, and most constant teacher any child can have is their parent.
Maureen has been a vocal advocate for education and is a notable expert in the field. She supports families, students and other professionals in shaping curriculum, sharing effective methods, and creating programs and policies. She made another notable contribution to education when she established The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund in honor of her son, who was a history major, then a substitute teacher and a firefighter. Sadly, Christopher passed away in the September 11th national tragedy.
“He wanted to be a firefighter from the youngest age. So, we decided to honor him in a way that would help other students pursue their dreams too. Children need to hear that nothing should stand in the way of achieving what you wish for.” Over these past 20 years, the scholarship fund has endowed about three-quarters of a million dollars at many levels and continues to make a difference for high school students.
Maureen has particular expertise in early childhood education. She wishes we could get back to basics, and teaching geared to the most intelligent students.

Every nurse coach has their own niche for instance one does women’s empowerment, another coach works with divorce, another one with relationships. Although Bina works in all facets of each individual’s personal and professional lives her main passion and expertise is working with parents of special needs children.

Columbia MD – Tom Glenn is a Vietnam vet who has had multiple careers including intelligence operative, musician, linguist in seven languages, cryptologist, caregiver for the dying, and leadership coach. He has a BA in Music, a master’s in government, and a doctorate in Public Administration. A sought-after public speaker, he is the author of a series of novels and short story collections: Friendly Casualties, Last of the Annamese, The Trion Syndrome, No-Accounts, Secretocracy, and Coming to Terms.
“It’s unbelievable how the U.S. essentially and unapologetically glorifies combat. I stopped reading books on war because they never truly captured the savagery, carnage, and the unimaginable devastation that surrounded us on the battlefield. How we had to witness our buddies horrifically killed when their mutilated body parts landed all over us. The helplessness, suffering, and anguish of combat is indescribable.”
With such gut wrenching accounts, how does it not evoke our sense of humanity? Yet we continually disengage and desensitize ourselves and enjoy watching bloodshed depicted in movies which, for the most part, are purely made for entertainment and profit.
Tom emphasizes how today the similarities of the atrocities in Ukraine remind Tom once again the senselessness and depravity of putting young soldiers and civilians through the horror of battle.
Tom says the United States must restore its international leadership role. “It is crucial that we lead the world toward universal democracy and freedom.”

Dave also worked on the many detours taken by the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas and Oklahoma.
“I look at the earth with imaging technology, like satellites and aerial photography. LANDSAT data are distributed by the US Geological Survey team, and SENTINEL data comes from the European Space Agency. My clients all need the same thing: information."
That is how Dave explained a recent focus of his consulting work, expert witness. Wildfires damage crops, buildings, fences, equipment, and habitat...and literally scorch the soils. Where the wildfires started was critical information for several Central Texas ranchers, where wildfires had been costing them dearly year-after-year. In another case, an oil operator didn’t want to clean up after himself, so Dave gathered proof of damages and pollution on the land and nearby lake.
Dave says that his work as a systems trainer taught him valuable lessons about sharing techniques and learning from colleagues. He looks forward to sharing his knowledge and discoveries with others in his July talk radio appearance.

Betty’s unwavering mission to make certain that one day, we will eliminate the horrors of human trafficking and she is determined to achieve it.
“The bigger challenge, besides fighting against it, is to reduce demand.

In addition, we must teach political officials, children, parents, and police officers the reality that it’s also more rampant and must be addressed more frequently in our communities.”

Beverly Hills, CA -- Diane J. Weiss, M.D. is a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist who has been named among our Empowering Women in America because of the way she approaches patient needs and helps them take part in their own discovery and improvement. Doctor Diane, as she is best known, has been approaching mental health treatment in this distinct manner for nearly all of her 34 years in private practice.
“They come to me looking for a magic pill that will make their pain and troubles go away,” she says, “but I work with them to help them see there is no such thing. Once you can connect with what is at the core of your emotional and mental pain and suffering, you can become more effective and productive, overcoming such challenges as crippling depression, fears and anxieties.”
Doctor Diane says she enjoys working with serious and often long-standing issues, getting deep. She has treated people with anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADD, stress, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, PTSD, unhappiness, unwanted habits, eating disorders, medical difficulties, chronic pain, and other mental illnesses.
Prior to attending medical school Doctor Diane studied languages, literature and cultures. She then earned a master’s degree from the Population, Family and International Health Division of the School of Public Health. Her desire to do good for the public has always been a strong one. Helping someone be the person they can be is more important to her than any label or diagnosis. She finds individualized analyses more appealing than just going by the book.
“I want to help people, to join them on a journey to find the underlying cause of their problems.”

“My focus is on building a sustainable and scalable operation where emerging leaders can seek and have access to dedicated coaching resources within the organization. There is reliable data backing up the fact that working with a coach is one of the most highly effective ways to help people optimize performance and growth, especially in the face of unprecedented change. As a coach I leverage my natural curisoty, along with a vision and strategically aligned approach to help people accelerate and heighten their engagement, satisfaction and productivity levels with a clear focus on goals.”
Internal coaching refers to a relationship where coaches and coachees work within the same organization. An important component of building an internal coaching culture is to infuse coaching skills in all people leaders and influencers within an organization. When you couple this with strong mentorship and advocacy programs, you start to promote a clear commitment to helping employees succeed. You will magnify an employee’s contributions and development when you layer this with a program that enables people to work with coaches within their organization, with shared experiences and who have “skin in the game”. An internal coach understands the company’s culture, mission and goals. An effective internal program is one where the coaches are focused on coaching as a primary role and responsibility and are specifcially trained to work with people who do not report to them.
Currently Joe is engaged in mergers and acquisitions assisting two company cultures grapple with how to assimilate in their new roles and helping leaders find their voice.

SANTA BARBARA, CA- If there were such a thing as a professional worrier, it is a title that Cassandra “Cassie” Anne Shea nearly adopted. She once fretted over everything. Then one day Cassie found her inner voice and it changed everything. She became a book author and a Life Experience Coach, using all she had learned to help others from being robbed of pure happiness.
When it comes to life experiences, Cassie notes it’s the quality, not the quantity, that counts. While she might be young, Cassie has already faced some of the toughest crossroads—things like a job change, a divorce, moving to a new place. Now she helps others who are at a transition point in their life to reshape their life experience. The first step she says, is to realize you have to be someone different to get to the other side.
This requires dealing with things deeply and soulfully, which is not necessarily the same as seriously. Cassie says approaching things from a point of humor can take the sting out of the stories we don’t want to tell. In fact, her forthcoming book Let’s Worry About Everything relates her own life story with a healthy dose of humor. Cassie shares her feelings of being lonely or hollow, all that stress from earning an MBA then taking on multiple responsibilities for people and marketing strategies, and even her failed personal relationships. But her life story changed to a positive one when she decided to stop worrying so much.
According to Cassie, “I help them to narrow the focus, set priorities and design the change. And I give them the tools to get to their goals.”

Conroe, TX – Vanessa Correa is founder and CEO of Correa Pearson and Associates an accountant, tax strategist and and financial coach taking accounting to a whole new level of financial services.
"We are an accounting firm with a non-traditional, holistic approach towards financial literacy. What's different about CP&A is they are not just an accounting firm that files taxes. They provide long term value by coaching and educating their clients year-round to teach them smarter ways of handling their money.”
During a college internship at an accounting firm, Vanessa noticed how little CPAs seemed to focus on the value being provided to their clients with regard to guidance in their overall financial goals.
Vanessa's goal through her company is to ultimately help individuals and entrepreneurs achieve financial abundance and to help them create the freedom needed to grow their business and live a life of wealth and success. She is enthusiastic about a new generation of business owners and freelancers starting out in the new workforce but also cautions those new business owners who may want to manage their own finances.
"So many people want to do their own taxes. They see it as a necessary evil. That's the tax process. For us it starts the day they open their business."
Vanessa encourages us to invest wisely from the start in our financial future by seeking out firms like hers that will not just file taxes, but help navigate them through the many pitfalls that failing businesses succumb to in the end.

Long Island City, NY - While preparing for this series, Maureen had just returned from a camping trip with her family. Camping, she notes, is one of many family experiences, such as sports activities and global travel, that Maureen has enjoyed all her life, and experiences that provide teachable moments,
“There is a teaching moment in everything. If a child loses a game, if a student doesn’t get an excellent grade, that is a teaching moment. It works for everyone and in every situation.”
So says this dynamic educational expert who has been teaching since 1967 and only retired a few years ago. There was a small gap while she raised her four children, three of whom went into the education field as well. Maureen believes the first, best, and most constant teacher every child can have is their parent.
Maureen has been a vocal advocate for education her entire life, helping families, students and other professionals to shape curriculum, share effective approaches, and participate in program and policy making. She made another notable contribution to education when she established The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund in honor of her son, who was a history major, then a substitute teacher and a firefighter. Sadly, Christopher passed away in the September 11th national tragedy.
Maureen has particular expertise in early childhood education. She wishes we could get back to basics —like phonics, math by formula/repetition, and teaching geared to the most intelligent students (which she considers top down instead of bottom up.) Maureen says teachers know better than anyone else just how kids learn.

Additionally, Magdalena was struggling with her own poor health including pre-diabetes and the stress of her nursing job. Once she made the decision not to undergo surgeries or radiation loaded with toxins, Magdalena began her own amazing natural healing process.

Placerville, CA – Janet DeMaria is an inventor, entrepreneur, owner, and founder of Skadoosie, an online apparel for newborns.
An interior designer by trade, Janet decided to leave her corporate job after her husband tragically and unexpectedly passed away from asbestos cancer. In deep mourning, feeling she needed positive change, she decided to start babysitting. One day, while she was changing the diapers of a 4-month-old she found herself extremely frustrated with the snaps on the baby’s onesies. These snaps were the cause of sweating and rashes when her own son was a baby. At that point, it dawned on her that she could design her own onesie, so she expertly began creating prototypes. Gone are the days of discomfort, rashes, and sweating for our pampered little babies.
Soon after, Janet began diligently working with a manufacturer, and started attending trade shows and expos all over the country, officially becoming an online business. In 2016 Janet acquired her patent. Skadoosie has received, Parents Magazine Editor Pick 2018 titled “Why didn’t I think of that”, The National Parenting Seal of Approval, and Mom’s Choice Award Gold.

Santee, CA – Dr. Wayne Whalen is a highly sought after chiropractor and founder and owner of Whalen Chiropractic.
According to Dr. Wayne Whalen, a full service chiropractor who has practiced chiropractic medicine for over 35 years and has co-authored multiple peer reviewed guidelines for the profession.
"I recommend seeing a chiropractor at the onset of minor pain before it becomes a serious problem."
He sees the problem from a mechanical perspective and has co-authored the national guidelines to address these ailments in a more holistic approach rather than rely on over-the-counter or prescription drugs. His first recommendation would be a 6 visit trial including spinal manipulation, exercise advise and other options. Most spinal problems relate to mechanical dysfunction, and respond well to mechanical, rather than chemical treatments. He recommends a thorough evaluation, trial of care, and assessment for improvement after treatment.
Dr. Whalen also points out that seeing a chiropracter is a much safer option than taking drugs or having surgery.
"There is a reason we have an opiode crisis in this country.and a lot of it stems from all the physicians over prescribing drugs that are both addictive and deadly."
Dr. Whalen now works with a team of practicing chiropractors who have created national guidelines on addressing lower back pain. A couple of years ago, he published a guideline on neck pain, and most recently chronic pain.
“My work is all evidence based and although I do not make promises, I explain how I approach pain management."

Las Vegas, NV – Kashif “Chief” Brown is a top-notch counselor and Founder and President of Chief Counseling, which offers effective tailored therapeutic approaches with a main focus on an evidence-based psychotherapy called EMDR.
“My counseling work is centered on allowing people suffering from past disturbing or traumatic experiences to successfully heal,” says Chief. “No matter what type of emotional suffering, anxiety, panic, or anxiety they have, I help them decrease those symptoms so they go about living life again before the trauma impacted them or discover a new, magnificent way of living they never thought possible.”
EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses bilateral stimulation, in the form of rapid eye right/left movement which activates both sides of the brain, much like what occurs in REM sleep. This releases emotional experiences “trapped” in the nervous system assisting the neurophysiological system to free itself of blockages.

Waterloo, Ontario – Jan Yordy is the founder of Waterloo Brain Connections, where she specializes in NeurOptimal®, a neurofeedback system designed to help your nervous system become more flexible and resilient.
According to Jan, we have to train our brain like we train our muscles. NeurOptimal® is a non-invasive way of addressing our hidden beliefs that allows us to make changes without getting stuck in old patterns and reactions.
Traditional linear neurofeedback systems only work with the conscious mind, but the conscious mind is only a very small percentage of the whole activity of the brain. NeurOptimal® is unique in that it is the only neurofeedback system that works in a non-linear, dynamical way; it works with the whole brain, not just the conscious mind.
Jan compares NeurOptimal® to holding up a mirror to our nervous system so it is informed about what it is doing.
Jan was a therapist for over twenty-five years and has used NeurOptimal for over fourteen of those years. On January first of this year she launched Waterloo Brain Connections and decided to focus exclusively on NeurOptimal®..
“I've always been fascinated with the brain and energy,” recalls Jan. “For many years I was using NeurOptimal® with most of my therapy clients.”
Not only does Jan see clients in person at her location in Waterloo, but she also rents out neurofeedback systems, assists in the sale of systems and teaches NeurOptimal® certification classes for those who want a more in depth understanding of NeurOptimal® and how it works.

Lynette uses what are known as heightened intuitive sensitivities: she is clairaudient, clairvoyant, clairsentient and claircognizant, as well as being an adept empath, telepath and medium and a channel.
Through the use the heightened intuitive sensitivities, Lynette guides her clients through the process of becoming self-actualized. Thus, allowing them to truly live the life of their dreams.
Lynette says her birth was predicted 45 years before she was born.

By the age of 17 Lynette clearly knew what she was here to do. “When you're born to do this, life does not give you a choice,” says Lynette. “It's a calling.”

Columbia, TN – Danielle Rose is a certified Emotion Code practitioner and the founder of Risen Light Works.
“My mission is to bring people into a place of wholeness spiritually, emotionally and physically,” says Danielle. “I want to bring people into a place of a faith, abundance, health, and peace so they can walk in the fullness of their God-given talents. Nothing brings me greater joy.”
According to Danielle, our emotions play a major role in our overall well-being. Our emotional state and stress, particularly trauma, can feed disease processes in the body and create unhealthy thought patterns in the soul.
The Emotion Code, developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, is an energy healing modality, which helps the body to achieve higher vibrational states. Dr. Nelson has defined 60 negative emotions that can become trapped in the body, like balls of energy, which may lead to physical discomfort and pain, as well as create anxious thought patterns, fears, sleep issues, among other emotional difficulties. Through the Emotion Code, Danielle can release that energy.
“What we're doing is removing the energetic blocks that prevent the body from returning to a place of healing and homeostasis,” says Danielle.
Everyone is on a journey, and Danielle says her journey has been challenging in many respects. Before she discovered the Emotion Code, Danielle suffered from severe anxiety. Her son had various challenges, and she was desperate to find healing for him.
More people are beginning to understand the connection between mind, body and spirit for our overall health. Holistic modalities like The Emotion Code offer patients an alternative path in their quest for healing.

Long Island City, NY - While preparing for this series, Maureen had just returned from a camping trip with her family. Camping, she notes, is one of many family experiences, such as sports activities and global travel, that Maureen has enjoyed all her life, and experiences that provide teachable moments,
“There is a teaching moment in everything. If a child loses a game, if a student doesn’t get an excellent grade, that is a teaching moment. It works for everyone and in every situation.”
So says this dynamic educational expert who has been teaching since 1967 and only retired a few years ago. There was a small gap while she raised her four children, three of whom went into the education field as well. Maureen believes the first, best, and most constant teacher every child can have is their parent.
Maureen has been a vocal advocate for education her entire life, helping families, students and other professionals to shape curriculum, share effective approaches, and participate in program and policy making. She made another notable contribution to education when she established The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund in honor of her son, who was a history major, then a substitute teacher and a firefighter. Sadly, Christopher passed away in the September 11th national tragedy.
Maureen has particular expertise in early childhood education. She wishes we could get back to basics —like phonics, math by formula/repetition, and teaching geared to the most intelligent students (which she considers top down instead of bottom up.) Maureen says teachers know better than anyone else just how kids learn.

Becket, MA -- Gail Valentin is a date coach and former matchmaker who helps high-achieving women over 40 to attract the love of their lives—without wasting time dating the wrong men. With her strategic support and coaching steps, women can find love, and do so in months, not years.
Gail says her coaching is about love mastery. Once a woman finds her irresistible and magnetic self, it makes attracting the right man inevitable. But love is an inside job and requires work on ourselves. More than shifting your thinking, it’s about re-programming your beliefs and the powerful words we tell ourselves.
Gail emphasizes that we only accept the love we think we deserve, and we must change that by erasing negative thoughts of being unworthy, unlovable or even uninterested. We must heal past wounds so that we make choices from our worth rather than our wounds. We must make better choices in finding a nurturing partner who will give us all that we deserve. Also, when we do find that wonderful guy, we have to work at the love relationship. Address conflicts. Agree to disagree. Discuss dreams and even intimacy openly without fear.
Learn more about the five key steps to uncover your love blocks, become magnetic, and attract and keep the perfect mate when you listen to the show. Gail will give us a mini master class on how to win at love during her chat with Jim Masters and invite interested women to get a copy of The Dating Woman’s Guide to Spotting Red Flags by visiting https://bit.ly/grab-dating-guide.

SONOMA, CA -During the 25-years Maggie Huffman was busy building two substantial careers in male-dominated industries (winemaking and information technology), the business world was transforming, becoming more diverse, and welcoming multiple viewpoints into decision-making. So, when Maggie officially became a coach in 2014, it was a boost for all those women who wanted to move into leadership but who may not have had confidence that their experience, skills and knowledge were enough. Maggie, who already had a master’s degree that included counseling, and had been building and inspiring teams all along, then pursued several new certifications. Since becoming a certified coach, she’s helped countless women to reflect, peel away layers, and discover their hidden talents and worth.
Maggie created a coaching program to help people, particularly women, become new or more effective leaders. The process, named Your Leadership Color Palette, guides clients to assess, close gaps, gain clarity and confidence, and become the leader they aspire to be. This program evolved from a book she published, and one of four she wrote on personal development subjects, The Rainbow Onion: The Transformative Power of Color Thinking. Maggie is currently working on a card deck for step-by-step execution of this incredible color-based development process.
Maggie stresses that women are often more critical of themselves and their skill sets, because they were socialized to be that way. She challenges women to re-examine their skills and leadership abilities.
Close Up Radio will feature Maggie Huffman in an interview with Jim Masterson Thursday, June 2nd at 12pm Eastern

Naples, FL – Weather and climate are huge influences on nearly every aspect of our lives. This includes our everyday activities, the clothes we wear, the foods that can be grown, our livelihoods, our travel (local and vacation), the cost of heating and cooling our homes, our health, and much more.
Yet, the concepts of climate and weather are often muddled, while the two are actually fundamentally different. According a colleague of Mike’s, “Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get.”
Today, we have daily weather forecasts, hurricane season forecasts, and longer-term climate and climate change predictions. The latter are often presented with the same authority as the shorter-term weathercasts we have come to love on TV and on the Internet. When the media, social media, schools, and tv meteorologists all preach human-caused climate change, it’s hard to get the whole story.
This interview will explain that climate change is real, but that it goes beyond just carbon dioxide. It will challenge you to think about the many implications surrounding climate change.
To help listeners better understand the two science areas, Mike routinely writes a blog where he explains weather. You can reach this blog by visiting his web site http://www.weatherworks.com and scrolling down to the link to “Lifelong Learning Blog.” He also has a published book entitled “Extreme Weather,” in which he explains weather of all types and goes into detail about climate and climate change. Feel free to contact him at learning@weatherworks.com for more information.
Kitchener, ON – Cheryl Himburg is a certified Mindset & Leadership coach and the founder of Key Element Solutions, where she empowers women to shatter their glass ceiling and achieve ambitious results.
“Key Element Solutions is a space for women to be able to explore their goals and visions of success and be supported in developing their own styles of leadership,” says Cheryl.
Cheryl is a catalyst for growth and success. She understands the need to continue evolving individually and in business, and she has developed an approach to overcome barriers standing in the way of success.
“Growing up, I was told if I wanted to be successful, I had to work hard and have a good attitude,” recalls Cheryl. “Well, I worked hard and I had a good attitude, but it didn't bring me what I desired.”
Cheryl struggled she says, because she was never taught how to cultivate the right mindset.
According to Cheryl, we can never outperform our subconscious beliefs. By understanding how we think and how our experiences have shaped us, we can reshape our limiting beliefs into beautiful confidence.
“I wanted to create space for women to be able to move beyond the feeling that the world is against them,” says Cheryl. “We always have that capability within ourselves to make decisions that are empowering for us. I’m most proud of the relationship I've built with myself. The impact I'm having, the shift and the change I get to bring into the world would not be possible without my journey. I leaned in when it was uncomfortable and built myself into the woman I am.”

Springfield, MA – Winning the fight against breast cancer is reason for celebration, but the physical and emotional scars remain.
When Linda Washington finished treatment, she proved she was much more than just her disease, but the dating world had changed.
“When some men hear you had breast cancer, their whole demeanor changes, and the coldness and the rudeness that comes after is beyond cruel,” says Linda. “They said I’m not a real woman anymore, nobody is ever going to want me, and I needed to get used to that. I thought you were supposed to love people for who they are.”
Linda says her experience is something that happens to a lot of women, but they usually stay silent, so she launched a blog called Strength of Survivors. She wanted women facing these same challenges to not lose hope.
Today, Strength of Survivors is a place breast cancer survivors can go to express their concerns about dating after breast cancer. Linda helps motivate and comfort her fellow warriors to let them know finding love again is possible.
Linda also writes and records music to lift up breast cancer survivors.
Linda says she would like to fall in love again and enjoy the rest of her life with someone who sees her for who she is.

Double Oak, TX – How do airlines ensure they do not discriminate against people with disabilities, but treat them with respect and dignity?
In 1986, the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) was enacted to ensure people with disabilities are treated fairly when flying and that all services offered by airlines are accessible to them. This important legislation, signed into law four years prior to the American with Disabilities Act, provides passengers with disabilities rights and expectations when traveling by air.
With a near 40 year career with American Airlines, Bonnie Hayes has extensive experience in serving passengers with disabilities, training front line employees on how to deliver services and developing policy and procedures that impact the travel experience for people with varying types of disabilities.
“I can remember the years before the ACAA was enacted and how passengers with disabilities were treated,” says Bonnie. “This regulation has brought about many necessary improvements to the aviation industry.”
Today, Bonnie is an expert on 14 CFR Part 382 and the founder of Access 382, where she specializes in litigation consulting and expert witness testimony relating to cases involving with airline passengers with disabilities. Many aviation consultants or expert witnesses are pilots whose focus are aircraft incidents and safety of flight. They aren’t familiar with accessibility for people with disabilities and how federal regulations protect them from discrimination.
As for the future, Bonnie says she would like to see airlines partner with the disabled community to not only meet their needs but exceed their expectations.

Garland, TX – Dr. John Lundell is an anesthesiologist and expert witness.
“Explaining to patients what I plan to do and why is great practice for writing a report that is easy for a judge or a jury to understand,” says Dr. Lundell. “Even though attorneys and judges have lots of knowledge, it’s not medical- or anesthesia-related knowledge. It’s a lot like teaching—explain medical terms in words the audience can understand. Pictures and charts help, but I like analogies. If people can relate a complex medical concept to something they know already, it is easier to understand.”
“You have such a good bedside manner—why waste it in anesthesia where your patients are all asleep?”
Dr. Lundell has been answering that question since 1994 when he first began training to be an anesthesiologist.
“As an anesthesiologist I give patients medication to induce sleep,” explains Dr. Lundell, “but I also place breathing tubes, arterial catheters, central venous catheters and nerve blocks. I manage consciousness, patient safety and positioning, blood pressure, heart rate, respirations, urine output, blood loss and transfusions under changing surgical conditions. I transport critical patients between the OR and the ICU, manage critically ill patients for emergency surgery and run intraoperative codes. Complications can happen during any of these activities.”
The question, says Dr Lundell, is always: “Did the anesthesiology team meet the standard of care?
“I know being an expert witness has made me a better anesthesiologist,” says Dr. Lundell.

Morgantown, WV – Disaster can strike at any moment. Do you know what to do in an emergency situation?
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Jeanie Edwards is the founder of The CPR Gals, specializing in disaster preparedness education and first-aid training.
“The question is not if something is going to happen, but rather when,” says Jeanie. “Once you accept that, you can start preparing for the inevitable. With training, you will feel a whole lot more comfortable and confident because you can handle pretty much anything that gets thrown at you.”
The CPR Gals teach people how to help save lives, offering classes in CPR and First Aid classes so people can be prepared and confident enough to act until uniformed first responders arrive.
“Keep the patient calm, make sure 911 has been called, and begin administering CPR because every second counts,” says Jeanie. “CPR is cardio pulmonary resuscitation. When the body stops breathing, and you can no longer feel a pulse, you need to take over the body’s job: breathing and pumping the heart to keep the vital organs alive until advanced medical care can begin.”
Jeanie was inspired by her grandparents, who were British Red Cross in the 1920s. Jeanie herself has been a volunteer with the American Red Cross since 1968 and an EMT for 20 years.
“I’m most proud of knowing that I have made a difference in people's lives,” says Jeanie. “There is a ripple effect.”

Double Oak, TX – How do airlines ensure they do not discriminate against people with disabilities, but treat them with respect and dignity?
In 1986, the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) was enacted to ensure people with disabilities are treated fairly when flying and that all services offered by airlines are accessible to them. This important legislation, signed into law four years prior to the American with Disabilities Act, provides passengers with disabilities rights and expectations when traveling by air.
With a near 40 year career with American Airlines, Bonnie Hayes has extensive experience in serving passengers with disabilities, training front line employees on how to deliver services and developing policy and procedures that impact the travel experience for people with varying types of disabilities.
“I can remember the years before the ACAA was enacted and how passengers with disabilities were treated,” says Bonnie. “This regulation has brought about many necessary improvements to the aviation industry.”
Today, Bonnie is an expert on 14 CFR Part 382 and the founder of Access 382, where she specializes in litigation consulting and expert witness testimony relating to cases involving with airline passengers with disabilities. Many aviation consultants or expert witnesses are pilots whose focus are aircraft incidents and safety of flight. They aren’t familiar with accessibility for people with disabilities and how federal regulations protect them from discrimination.
As for the future, Bonnie says she would like to see airlines partner with the disabled community to not only meet their needs but exceed their expectations.

Garland, TX – Dr. John Lundell is an anesthesiologist and expert witness.
“Explaining to patients what I plan to do and why is great practice for writing a report that is easy for a judge or a jury to understand,” says Dr. Lundell. “Even though attorneys and judges have lots of knowledge, it’s not medical- or anesthesia-related knowledge. It’s a lot like teaching—explain medical terms in words the audience can understand. Pictures and charts help, but I like analogies. If people can relate a complex medical concept to something they know already, it is easier to understand.”
“You have such a good bedside manner—why waste it in anesthesia where your patients are all asleep?”
Dr. Lundell has been answering that question since 1994 when he first began training to be an anesthesiologist.
“As an anesthesiologist I give patients medication to induce sleep,” explains Dr. Lundell, “but I also place breathing tubes, arterial catheters, central venous catheters and nerve blocks. I manage consciousness, patient safety and positioning, blood pressure, heart rate, respirations, urine output, blood loss and transfusions under changing surgical conditions. I transport critical patients between the OR and the ICU, manage critically ill patients for emergency surgery and run intraoperative codes. Complications can happen during any of these activities.”
The question, says Dr Lundell, is always: “Did the anesthesiology team meet the standard of care?
“I know being an expert witness has made me a better anesthesiologist,” says Dr. Lundell.

Jeanie Edwards is the founder of The CPR Gals, specializing in disaster preparedness education and first-aid training.

Tustin, CA – Unexpected deaths happen all the time as a result of complications from surgery. Some deaths are unpreventable. This was not one of those times.
Dr. Darwish is a board-certified internal medicine physician and full-time practicing hospitalist at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center.
Dr. Darwish is currently the director of the Morbidity and Mortality Conference at UCI. Any unexplained deaths are submitted for his review.
“From the time I started, I was always interested in learning from mistakes in the hospital,” says Dr. Darwish.
As a hospitalist in the university setting, Dr. Darwish teaches the doctors of tomorrow to improve their skills, knowledge, and bedside manner.
“I try to put my feet in the physician’s shoes,” says Dr. Darwish. “I have young doctors around me all the time, but I see it from the young doctors, as well as the most experienced, where things could have been missed.”
Expert witness work is an extension of what Dr. Darwish already does at UCI.
“It's detective work. I like trying to figure out like the true reason behind what happened,” explains Dr. Darwish. “Was there something that could have been done before or after surgery that could have prevented this from happening? Was there a deviation from the standard of care? I review that based on the written record.”
Of course, the jury eventually decides. But Dr. Darwish says being an expert witness allows him to be a part of the system trying to find balance.
“It helps to deliver justice and it helps improve the health care system.”

Canandaigua, NY – Kristen Fragnoli is a life and leadership coach and the founder of Quest Potential Coaching where she helps people integrate their life with their work.
“Life and leadership go together,” says Kristen.
According to Kristen, a life consisting of two disparate parts actually creates more stress, because you are not being authentic. That’s why Kristen works primarily with executive leaders on how to prioritize their authentic selves.
Kristen coaches her clients to connect with those gifts and talents in themselves and in others to see leadership in new ways, allowing teams to bring their skills and talent to the table, so they can bring enthusiasm and find meaning.

That’s when Kristen discovered coaching as a new way to apply her skills and integrate her life while helping other people integrate their lives as well.
“We want you to be a whole person. We want you to bring your strengths and your talents. We want to hear your true voice.”

St. Louis, MO – Percy Menzies is a respected and sought after speaker and President and founder of Assisted Recovery Centers of America one of the top centers in the country for the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction.
According to Percy, our health care system continues to be sluggish in effectively responding to addictions and we must ramp up ongoing efforts to treat addiction as a prolonged, but absolutely curable, condition.
“Addiction throws people into a survival mode and human beings are meant to thrive not survive, which is a dangerous state to be in and not a sustainable way to live,” says Percy.
Prior to opening up his own treatment center, Percy worked for over 18 years for DuPont Pharmaceuticals where he recognized how naloxone and naltrexone, largely underused at the time, had a tremendous potential as key medications to battle the opioid and alcoholism addiction.
Part of Percy’s success is based on the meds he offers such as buprenorphine and naltrexone which protects patients and curbs craving for drugs and alchohol. The key, he emphasizes, to treating addictive disorders, is that patients must stay on meds indefinitely. Once you successfully curve their craving and their withdrawal systems they will get better.
Through Assisted Recovery Centers of America, Percy creates a purpose driven atmosphere to protect the patient living in drug infested environment be encouraged to seek self-care. With so many drugs continuing to come in it’s troubling that we have a supply driven problem and Percy emphasizes we must curve the supply and demand and make certain the demand is gone.

Long Island City, NY – Maureen Santora has been a powerful advocate for education her entire life. The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund has awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarships to New York City’s elementary, middle school and high school students.
“I see everything in terms of: “How are we going to teach our children to become responsible accountable adults?” says Santora. “Teachers, students and parents form a trinity. They are partners in the development of a human being. They have to work in tandem to create a wonderful person. My philosophy is that all of us can be teachers.”
Maureen has been in teaching since 1967, but she says parents are still the primary educators of their children. She says parents have the right to be involved and to empower themselves to be actively involved in their kids' education.
“The core problem right now is a school districts, principals and administrators, don't believe parents have the right to ask questions,” says Santora, “but they're our children, and we are ultimately responsible for them. That’s where the parent voice can be loudest. The bottom line is that parents have a lot of power, and more and more are speaking out, but we need to have a real movement.”
“As a child, the most important person in your life besides your mom and dad is your teacher,” says Santora. “When they can have a constructive dialogue with each other, when they can be on the same page, it doesn't matter who has more power.”

Dobbs Ferry, NY – We are all given a superpower, and we must leverage our superpower to add value to the world.
Patty Franco is an executive coach and the founder of Patty Franco Coaching, where she works with leaders in both entrepreneurial roles and corporate roles to go from surviving to thriving and navigate their career with more ease.
Patty spent the first 15 years of her career in HR working for Fortune 500 companies. She could have stayed on that path, but the longer she stayed, the more she saw the limitations to her happiness.
And so Patty became the owner of a massage therapy franchise location in New York, but that brought its own challenges.
“I was working seven days a week, 12 hours a day with two small children at the time, and at one point, we were not making any revenue at all,” recalls Patty. “It was very challenging from a physical and mental standpoint. I felt like I wasn't adding value to my family. In hindsight, I wish I had access to the tools I now use with my clients.”
Still, Patty says the experience was the equivalent of earning a master’s degree in business. Patty learned marketing, sales, recruitment, staffing and payroll. Patty also worked with a coach to figure out how to pivot in her career.
“My coach helped me realize that throughout all of my roles what I loved most was coaching and training and mentoring,” says Patty. “This is my superpower: helping people grow and develop and see their blind spots.”
Patty’s niche is executives who are also parents. She helps them build self-awareness and leverage their strengths for overall success.

Waterloo, Ontario – Jan Yordy is the founder of Waterloo Brain Connections, where she specializes in NeurOptimal®, a neurofeedback system designed to help your nervous system become more flexible and resilient.
According to Jan, we have to train our brain like we train our muscles. NeurOptimal® is a non-invasive way of addressing our hidden beliefs that allows us to make changes without getting stuck in old patterns and reactions.
Traditional linear neurofeedback systems only work with the conscious mind, but the conscious mind is only a very small percentage of the whole activity of the brain. NeurOptimal® is unique in that it is the only neurofeedback system that works in a non-linear, dynamical way; it works with the whole brain, not just the conscious mind.
Jan compares NeurOptimal® to holding up a mirror to our nervous system so it is informed about what it is doing.
Jan was a therapist for over twenty-five years and has used NeurOptimal for over fourteen of those years. On January first of this year she launched Waterloo Brain Connections and decided to focus exclusively on NeurOptimal®..
“I've always been fascinated with the brain and energy,” recalls Jan. “For many years I was using NeurOptimal® with most of my therapy clients.”
Not only does Jan see clients in person at her location in Waterloo, but she also rents out neurofeedback systems, assists in the sale of systems and teaches NeurOptimal® certification classes for those who want a more in depth understanding of NeurOptimal® and how it works.

Long Island City, NY – Maureen Santora has been a powerful advocate for education her entire life. The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund has awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarships to New York City’s elementary, middle school and high school students.
“I see everything in terms of: “How are we going to teach our children to become responsible accountable adults?” says Santora. “Teachers, students and parents form a trinity. They are partners in the development of a human being. They have to work in tandem to create a wonderful person. My philosophy is that all of us can be teachers.”
Maureen has been in teaching since 1967, but she says parents are still the primary educators of their children. She says parents have the right to be involved and to empower themselves to be actively involved in their kids' education.
“The core problem right now is a school districts, principals and administrators, don't believe parents have the right to ask questions,” says Santora, “but they're our children, and we are ultimately responsible for them. That’s where the parent voice can be loudest. The bottom line is that parents have a lot of power, and more and more are speaking out, but we need to have a real movement.”
“As a child, the most important person in your life besides your mom and dad is your teacher,” says Santora. “When they can have a constructive dialogue with each other, when they can be on the same page, it doesn't matter who has more power.”

Bridgewater, NJ – They say in many professions you have to be a jack of all trades and a master of none, but in the field of Emergency Medicine, doctors have to do their best to be a master of all.
Emergency medicine is by its nature unscheduled care. Most first presentations of anything emergent or urgent, like a heart attack, stroke or severe abdominal pain, are typically first examined by an emergency medicine doctor in the sometimes frenzied location of a hospital Emergency Department.
Due to the unselected nature of patients and the limited time that can be spent with patients, many factors not under a physician’s control can affect the attitudes and even the clinical outcomes of patients.
It’s no wonder the majority of emergency physicians have been named in a claim for malpractice at least once.
Dr. Edward Gosselin is a board-certified residency trained Emergency Medicine physician, a graduate of Boston University School of Medicine and the founder of EMG Consulting & Contracting LLC. He has several decades of practice both clinically as well as administratively. He has been an Emergency Department director for 3 separate facilities. He also provides litigation support services and expert witness investigation and testimony in the field of Emergency Medicine for Consultations, Affidavits of Merit, depositions and trials.
To become an expert witness, you have to be an expert, and Dr. Gosselin has spent more than 30 years in emergency medicine and continues to practice.
“It's very hard to both be an expert witness in this field unless you continue to practice,” says Dr. Gosselin. “I have seen some doctors attempt to do this work soon after their residency, and although they may be board-certified with the full complement of education, they may not necessarily have the expertise or nuanced experience.”
St. Louis, MO – Percy Menzies is a respected and sought after speaker and President and founder of Assisted Recovery Centers of America one of the top centers in the country for the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction.
According to Percy, our health care system continues to be sluggish in effectively responding to addictions and we must ramp up ongoing efforts to treat addiction as a prolonged, but absolutely curable, condition.
“Addiction throws people into a survival mode and human beings are meant to thrive not survive, which is a dangerous state to be in and not a sustainable way to live,” says Percy.
Prior to opening up his own treatment center, Percy worked for over 18 years for DuPont Pharmaceuticals where he recognized how naloxone and naltrexone, largely underused at the time, had a tremendous potential as key medications to battle the opioid and alcoholism addiction.
Part of Percy’s success is based on the meds he offers such as buprenorphine and naltrexone which protects patients and curbs craving for drugs and alchohol. The key, he emphasizes, to treating addictive disorders, is that patients must stay on meds indefinitely. Once you successfully curve their craving and their withdrawal systems they will get better.
Through Assisted Recovery Centers of America, Percy creates a purpose driven atmosphere to protect the patient living in drug infested environment be encouraged to seek self-care. With so many drugs continuing to come in it’s troubling that we have a supply driven problem and Percy emphasizes we must curve the supply and demand and make certain the demand is gone.

Mundelein, IL - Susan Finerty is the founder and CEO of Finerty Consulting, author of three highly acclaimed books: Master the Matrix: 7 Essentials for Getting Things Done in Complex Organizations; Cross-Functional Influence: Getting Things Done Across the Organization and The Cross-Functional Influence Playbook. She and her team help clients maximize their expertise.
Finerty Consulting offers keynotes, workshops, coaching and assessments. Their approach is steeped in the research that is the foundation of her books , and tailored to their client organizations’ culture and needs.
“We believe strongly in the power of people coming together to learn and solve problems simultaneously. There is great power in learning together, because you can’t learn to tackle—let alone actually tackle--our complex organizational issues in isolation. When we are connected and working in the collective, it is amazing what we can achieve.”
Susan acknowledges that these connections aren’t easy to establish and maintain in our global, virtual work environments.
“At work, we are missing the three typical ingredients for solid relationships—proximity, chemistry and time. We don’t run into each other in the hall, we may not have commonalities that drive natural chemistry, and we don’t have the luxury of building relationships over time.”
“The most satisfied and successful people I work with have channeled the power of connection and curiosity,” Finerty says.
Susan is also excited to announce the new edition of her book Master the Matrix: 7 Essentials for Getting Things Done in Complex Organizations.

Greensboro, GA – Education creates opportunity. Career plans provide structure. Coaching delivers inspiration. Hard work guarantees success.
That’s the philosophy of Dave Thillen, founder of the Thillen Education Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit community-based mentoring program offering personal coaching for underprivileged students.
Thillen Education Foundation has partnered with Greene College and Career Academy to deliver an innovative, coaching, scholarship and financial assistance initiative that will enrich the lives of thousands of students for years to come.
“I'm driven by a passion to help kids,” says Thillen.
“I grew up in poverty, but I went on to receive a master's degree in math,” recalls Thillen. “When I retired from IBM 24 years ago, I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity building houses. After two years, I asked, “How can I do more to help the kids that live in these Habitat for Humanity houses?’ so I started installing refurbished computers donated by the community and coached the kids who lived in the houses. Almost all of them graduated high school and many of them went on to college.”
Now in its fourth year, Thillen Education Foundation has 120 volunteer career coaches from the community.
Students also have the opportunity to earn “Dave Dollars,” which they can cash in for real dollars upon graduation.
“We put together what I call ‘the promise,” says Thillen. “If you continue your education, start your career or join the military, we promise you financial assistance to get started.”

Southborough, MA – Anesthesiologists are often faced with patients suffering from severe or significant pain following surgery.
As a result, they possess the most comprehensive understanding of the neuroanatomy of pain pathways in the body, with the most experience using medications and nerve blocks to treat pain.
That’s why anesthesiology and pain management go hand-in-hand.
Dr. Thomas Simopoulos is anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
In addition to his work as a pain management specialist, Dr. Simopoulos is also an expert witness, offering litigation support services to attorneys of both plaintiffs and defendants for 15 years.
“Expert witness work found me rather than I found it,” laughs Dr. Simopoulos. “What I like about the expert witness work is I just have to stay within the facts and the evidence.”
So while most of cases are standard chart reviews, there are cases that require Dr. Simopoulos to perform his own medical examination. These cases are typically complex nerve injury cases that may develop into chronic pain syndromes that at times may be diagnosed correctly or incorrectly and are difficult to treat or resolve.
“In the legal system, nerve injury related pains and chronic pains are tough to define. This creates a lot of challenges in our system. I come in as an as an expert witness to shed some light and create a direction,” says Dr. Simopoulos. “Sometimes we reach maximum medical improvement. That may not be satisfactory for either the patient or the employer, but some patients never improved adequately with their chronic pain condition.”

Reno, NV – Osteoporosis means bones become more fragile due to structural bone loss from aging. Bones become porous so they don't have the structural integrity they once had.
According to board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic physician Dr. John V. Foley, osteoporosis is a nationwide epidemic, and the problem is only getting worse.
One half of the women in the US will experience a fragility fracture at some point in their life, and the risk factors for men aren’t much better. As the baby boomer generation continues to age, Dr. Foley expects we will see more and more fractures.
“In my 30 years doing orthopedics, it's still a whisper and not a scream,” says Dr. Foley. “I see billions of dollars being spent treating fractures instead of preventing them unless we have a national wake up call.”
One of the main problems for preventing osteoporosis, says Dr. Foley, is that osteoporosis is a silent disease: you do not know you have it until you fracture a bone.
“Unless you kind of stir the pot with your doctor, you won't know you're at risk,” says Dr. Foley, “but there are ways to diagnose your bone health.”
“There is a low dose radiologic study called a DEXA scan that assesses your bone health and the structural integrity of the bone,” says Dr. Foley.
“We start very simply with lifestyle changes like not smoking, not drinking to excess, resistive bone weight bearing exercises to maintain current bone health. We also worry about fall risk, and we talk a lot about fall prevention.”

Stuttgart, Germany – When it comes to psychics, it's hard to know who is real and who is a fake.
Lisa Lanno is a psychic medium, "Seer” and paranormal researcher offering life path guidance, healing from past life trauma, connection with your guides, increased intuition and paranormal research.
Still, she says her favorite thing to do is spotting and busting fake psychics.
“This work is all about helping people, and I can help and guide the average person not to get taken advantage of by fakes,” says Lisa.
This is really useful information for people to know.
“If you go to someone for a reading, and they say they see negativity around you, or they try to sell you candles, I hope to God you walk out,” says Lisa. “I tell people to beware of generalities, pushing things on you, telling you that you are cursed, or you have to buy crystals from me or nothing good will happen, or they end the session on a cliffhanger.”
All mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums, explains Lisa.
While mediumship is about communicating with the deceased, psychic work is more focused on your potential future: When am I going to meet somebody in my life? Where did my parents stash the money? Where do you see me in five years for work?
“If you ask me about your future, I tune into you your energy,” says Lisa. “It's validations as well as predictions, and the predictions are only going to happen, if you want them to.”
“If I say I see you with four children, that just means there are four entities that would like to have you as a mom. It doesn’t mean you have to have four children,” says Lisa. “It's still your life. Psychic work allows people to see the choices before them.”

Toronto, ON – The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the trajectory of all of our lives, and the impact of these changes will be felt for decades to come.
We had no choice but to navigate our way through it best we could together. Some of the rapid adjustments were more successful than others: the healthcare sector adapted very quickly; education for millions of children was irreversibly disrupted.
Whatever our world will look like after the pandemic is finally over will be determined by organizations and institutions committed to change and willing to take the lead.
Being involved in community organizations and giving back has always been a big part of Dr. Dan Andreae’s life.
An expert in leadership, education, health, neuroscience and philanthropy, Dr. Andreae describes himself as an academic-practitioner, or a “pracademic.” Pracademics focus on translating concepts into real action that makes a difference in people's everyday lives.
“Imagine a plane: one wing is the theory and developing critical thinking skills; but the plane won’t fly without the second wing: the human side,” explains Dr. Andreae. “Things are not isolated. Everything revolves around the human element. The pracademic asks, “What can we do about it?”
Dr. Andreae has devoted significant energies over his career to educating about health issues from a broad perspective including stress and neuroscience. He sees his role as strengthening partnerships between organizations to ensure the road back is navigable and smooth.
“The circumstances have changed through COVID, but I think my philosophy has actually been reinforced,” says Dr. Andreae.
San Tan Valley, AZ – Judy Holt is an intuitive health guide specializing in the Emotion Code and Body Code, energy healing modalities designed to release trapped negative emotions from the physical body.
“The Emotion Code and Body Code instructional program teaches you techniques to use with a knowledge based guide when investigating a person's symptoms or concerns,” says Judy. “By identifying the root causes, I can remove or release the specific negative energy that's causing the issues both emotionally and physically in a person's body.”
According to Dr. Bradley Nelson, creator of the Emotion Code and The Body Code, there are 60 common trapped emotions. Trapped emotions can build up inside over time through our experience in this life or they can be inherited from previous generations.
Using the Emotion Code and the Body Code, Judy receives messages if her client has a trapped emotion and releases it. Releasing trapped emotions makes conditions right for the body to heal physically. Emotional difficulties often disappear or become much easier to deal with.
Prior to becoming a Intuitive Health guide, Judy spent 40 years in elementary education as a classroom teacher and a PE teacher.
As a teacher, Judy said her job was to teach her student's skills, nurture their self-esteem and encourage them to always do their best. She says it’s not that different from the work she does today: helping clients along their journey by teaching them how to succeed and developing their spirit in a positive way.”
“I want to help people identify their purpose or directional path,” says Judy.

Richmond, VA – When a case contains digital evidence, it requires testimony to clarify what evidence was found and how it was found.
Digital forensic investigators collect and analyze digital evidence, including everything from text messages, pictures, email and web history to document metadata that may be relevant in civil or criminal cases.
Patrick Siewert is the founder of Pro Digital Forensic Consulting, a one-stop shop for electronic evidence collection, analysis and expert witness testimony in support of litigation and investigations at the governmental, corporate and private levels.
Siewert began his career in law enforcement in 2000 at the patrol level in Richmond, VA. He later transitioned to serving as a school resource officer in both middle schools and high schools to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community.
It was in this role that Siewert was introduced to the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, where he learned how to conduct online undercover investigations.
“ICAC is responsible for tracking down online sexual predators of children and purveyors of child sexual abuse material on the internet,” says Siewert.
Siewert left law enforcement in 2014 to launch Pro Digital Forensic Consulting full-time.
Combining best practices in forensic methodology with the most modern investigative techniques, today, Pro Digital Forensic Consulting offers a 360-degree litigation support approach, with highly-trained forensic examiners to conduct the analysis, report findings and testify as expert witnesses as needed.

As a psychic medium can commune with the deceased.
Prior to embracing her psychic abilities, Lisa was a pharmacist.
“I always saw things and knew things when I was a kid, but I shut it down because it scared my mom,” recalls Lisa. “Still, I have always wanted to help people. That's why I pursued medicine, but the times I was able to really make a difference were few and far between.”
As Lisa progressed further in her pharmacy career, a level of dissatisfaction crept up, and she started to have physical problems as well. So Lisa began to explore alternative therapies, which resurfaced her psychic abilities.
In addition to her work as a psychic and medium, Lisa has worked with law enforcement investigators and private detectives involving missing persons and homicide victims in multiple states.
“My perspective has changed since I got immersed in this work,” says Lisa. “You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You're a spiritual being having a human experience. And when you think of it in those terms, there's nothing to fear.”

Long Island City, NY – Maureen Santora has been a powerful advocate for education her entire life. The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund has awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarships to New York City’s elementary, middle school and high school students.
“I see everything in terms of: “How are we going to teach our children to become responsible accountable adults?” says Santora. “Teachers, students and parents form a trinity. They are partners in the development of a human being. They have to work in tandem to create a wonderful person. My philosophy is that all of us can be teachers.”
Maureen has been in teaching since 1967, but she says parents are still the primary educators of their children. She says parents have the right to be involved and to empower themselves to be actively involved in their kids' education.
“The core problem right now is a school districts, principals and administrators, don't believe parents have the right to ask questions,” says Santora, “but they're our children, and we are ultimately responsible for them. That’s where the parent voice can be loudest. The bottom line is that parents have a lot of power, and more and more are speaking out, but we need to have a real movement.”
“As a child, the most important person in your life besides your mom and dad is your teacher,” says Santora. “When they can have a constructive dialogue with each other, when they can be on the same page, it doesn't matter who has more power.”

Stuttgart, Germany – When it comes to psychics, it's hard to know who is real and who is a fake.
Lisa Lanno is a psychic medium, "Seer” and paranormal researcher offering life path guidance, healing from past life trauma, connection with your guides, increased intuition and paranormal research.
Still, she says her favorite thing to do is spotting and busting fake psychics.
“This work is all about helping people, and I can help and guide the average person not to get taken advantage of by fakes,” says Lisa.
This is really useful information for people to know.
“If you go to someone for a reading, and they say they see negativity around you, or they try to sell you candles, I hope to God you walk out,” says Lisa. “I tell people to beware of generalities, pushing things on you, telling you that you are cursed, or you have to buy crystals from me or nothing good will happen, or they end the session on a cliffhanger.”
All mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums, explains Lisa.
While mediumship is about communicating with the deceased, psychic work is more focused on your potential future: When am I going to meet somebody in my life? Where did my parents stash the money? Where do you see me in five years for work?
“If you ask me about your future, I tune into you your energy,” says Lisa. “It's validations as well as predictions, and the predictions are only going to happen, if you want them to.”
“If I say I see you with four children, that just means there are four entities that would like to have you as a mom. It doesn’t mean you have to have four children,” says Lisa. “It's still your life. Psychic work allows people to see the choices before them.”
Los Angeles, CA – From incarceration and financial ruin to cancer and divorce, Rhonda Farrah emerged empowered.
“I made some very poor choices with people who were not reputable, and I did not do my due diligence. I take total responsibility for that,” recalls Rhonda. “I missed every holiday with my daughter and my family for six years, but I needed to be incarcerated in order to be liberated, to regain my sense of self.”
While incarcerated, Rhonda became an advocate and teacher for her fellow women inmates to make some Life changes…and truly Live the best Life they could regardless of their circumstances. What followed was a journey of transformation.
“I realized that the only person I could take responsibility for was myself. That’s when I began the journey of helping people help themselves,” recalls Rhonda. “I was coaching women to lead a better life and understand the strength within to help themselves.”
With a background in psychotherapy, Rhonda began coaching upon her release in 2005.
“I was in a prison physically, but many people are in prison mentally, spiritually, emotionally,” says Rhonda. “It’s my life goal to help others conquer their most negative habits and build new, healthy and successful lives for themselves based on their needs and desires.”
Today, Rhonda is a Lifestyle Empowerment Alchemist and the founder of Help Me Rhonda Now, where she assists people in living the life they desire.
“I'm passionate about awakening hearts and minds, and especially the Spirit,” says Rhonda.

Alpharetta, GA – Marsha Butler is an executive coach, business consultant, and the founder of The Butler Initiative, where she specializes in helping leaders who are focused on their personal and professional growth, leadership development, as well as organizational innovation and transformation, to help align organizations with their business goals and strategic priorities.
“Organizations got very used to only caring about the bottom line with limited intention behind changing their culture,” says Marsha. “The 21st century organization means more women, more people of color and more intergenerational workers. Organizations must prepare for this future now. Diversity, equity inclusion impacts us at all levels, and there's much more work to be done.”
Prior to launching The Butler Initiative, Marsha was a transformative, executive-level leader in a global consumer products company, with a primary focus on corporate social responsibility, global marketing, social impact and non-profit engagement.
With an understanding of corporate America as an African American woman and how to navigate the obstacles to grow and develop, Marsha empowers women and people of color to reach their maximum potential and grow into the leaders we need.
“I enjoy working with leaders who are looking to grow and transition in their lives,” says Marsha. “My role as a coach is to help them become aware of who they are today and help them to understand their emotional and social capacity for growth, change and to reach their set goals in the future.”

San Tan Valley, AZ – Judy Holt is an intuitive health guide specializing in the Emotion Code and Body Code, energy healing modalities designed to release trapped negative emotions from the physical body.
“The Emotion Code and Body Code instructional program teaches you techniques to use with a knowledge based guide when investigating a person's symptoms or concerns,” says Judy. “By identifying the root causes, I can remove or release the specific negative energy that's causing the issues both emotionally and physically in a person's body.”
According to Dr. Bradley Nelson, creator of the Emotion Code and The Body Code, there are 60 common trapped emotions. Trapped emotions can build up inside over time through our experience in this life or they can be inherited from previous generations.
Using the Emotion Code and the Body Code, Judy receives messages if her client has a trapped emotion and releases it. Releasing trapped emotions makes conditions right for the body to heal physically. Emotional difficulties often disappear or become much easier to deal with.
Prior to becoming a Intuitive Health guide, Judy spent 40 years in elementary education as a classroom teacher and a PE teacher.
As a teacher, Judy said her job was to teach her student's skills, nurture their self-esteem and encourage them to always do their best. She says it’s not that different from the work she does today: helping clients along their journey by teaching them how to succeed and developing their spirit in a positive way.”
“I want to help people identify their purpose or directional path,” says Judy.

Westport, CT – A successful expert witness needs to be capable of multiple perspectives, have in-depth knowledge bordering on being an academic, stay within the bounds of ethical restrictions and be able to assemble and deliver an understandable “story,” always giving a professional opinion and leaving the legal opinions to the lawyers, and the courts.
Fred Lott is an expert witness specializing in preparing counsel for both trial and deposition on issues related to architecture and construction management. Fred Lott brings a broad depth of experience in 28 different fields of litigation experience.
With a broad depth of experience leading cross-discipline teams of design and engineering professionals and construction management teams, Fred has offered expert testimony throughout his career as an architect and construction executive for nearly 30 years.

Toronto, ON – The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the trajectory of all of our lives, and the impact of these changes will be felt for decades to come.
We had no choice but to navigate our way through it best we could together. Some of the rapid adjustments were more successful than others: the healthcare sector adapted very quickly; education for millions of children was irreversibly disrupted.
Whatever our world will look like after the pandemic is finally over will be determined by organizations and institutions committed to change and willing to take the lead.
Being involved in community organizations and giving back has always been a big part of Dr. Dan Andreae’s life.
An expert in leadership, education, health, neuroscience and philanthropy, Dr. Andreae describes himself as an academic-practitioner, or a “pracademic.” Pracademics focus on translating concepts into real action that makes a difference in people's everyday lives.
“Imagine a plane: one wing is the theory and developing critical thinking skills; but the plane won’t fly without the second wing: the human side,” explains Dr. Andreae. “Things are not isolated. Everything revolves around the human element. The pracademic asks, “What can we do about it?”
Dr. Andreae has devoted significant energies over his career to educating about health issues from a broad perspective including stress and neuroscience. He sees his role as strengthening partnerships between organizations to ensure the road back is navigable and smooth.
“The circumstances have changed through COVID, but I think my philosophy has actually been reinforced,” says Dr. Andreae.
Mundelein, IL - Susan Finerty is the founder and CEO of Finerty Consulting, author of three highly acclaimed books: Master the Matrix: 7 Essentials for Getting Things Done in Complex Organizations; Cross-Functional Influence: Getting Things Done Across the Organization and The Cross-Functional Influence Playbook. She and her team help clients maximize their expertise.
Finerty Consulting offers keynotes, workshops, coaching and assessments. Their approach is steeped in the research that is the foundation of her books , and tailored to their client organizations’ culture and needs.
“We believe strongly in the power of people coming together to learn and solve problems simultaneously. There is great power in learning together, because you can’t learn to tackle—let alone actually tackle--our complex organizational issues in isolation. When we are connected and working in the collective, it is amazing what we can achieve.”
Susan acknowledges that these connections aren’t easy to establish and maintain in our global, virtual work environments.
“At work, we are missing the three typical ingredients for solid relationships—proximity, chemistry and time. We don’t run into each other in the hall, we may not have commonalities that drive natural chemistry, and we don’t have the luxury of building relationships over time.”
“The most satisfied and successful people I work with have channeled the power of connection and curiosity,” Finerty says.
Susan is also excited to announce the new edition of her book Master the Matrix: 7 Essentials for Getting Things Done in Complex Organizations.

Long Island City, NY – In our society today, everything is divided in into right and left politics. It's very difficult to have conversations with people who are on the opposite side of the political divide, even people that you love.
Education advocate Maureen Santora believes we need to rethink where we are heading and how the conversation is evolving for young people to be successful in life.
She has been a powerful advocate for education her entire life. The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund has awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarships to New York City’s elementary, middle school and high school students.
“Being an American was always about being concerned for the next generation,” says Maureen. “We're trying to educate young people to know they can pursue a variety of possibilities.”
“When we had dinner every night, we would have debates. My son was always on the opposite side of his sisters,” recalls Maureen. “The reason a person goes to college is to open his or her mind. It doesn't necessarily give you a job. It enables you to see a different vision, and things that you've never, ever thought about.”
Maureen has been in teaching since 1967, but she says parents are still the primary educators of their children. They have the right to be involved and to empower themselves to be actively involved in their kids' education.
“We have to be brave enough to speak out, even if the opinion that we possess is not the popular opinion.”

Washington, DC – Dr. Philip Cross is the founder of Kenyon Consulting LLC, where he provides economic and statistical consulting services to law firms, businesses, non-profits and government agencies.
Dr. Cross specializes in econometrics, which combines statistical analysis with economic theory to draw inferences about economic outcomes. Dr. Cross has worked on a wide range of litigation matters both on the plaintiff side and the defense side. He says both sides are happy to retain him because they know he will deliver unbiased, scientifically-grounded economic and statistical analysis.
Unlike the economists one might see on cable news, who are typically macroeconomists, Dr. Cross is a microeconomist; he doesn’t study the economics of large entities like countries, but rather the economics of small entities, like workers or customers or firms.
In a wrongful termination lawsuit, for instance, Dr. Cross’s job is to calculate how the worker’s future wages are impacted by the alleged wrongful termination.
Originally from Australia, Dr. Cross has spent 20 years as an economist in academia, government and consulting.
Prior to launching Kenyon Consulting, Dr. Cross taught in the Economics Department at Georgetown University.
“Some of the analysis that I do can be a little bit high tech, and one of the skills of being an expert witness is breaking down technical concepts in a way that a lay audience can understand,” says Dr. Cross. “So when I testify in front of a judge or a jury, I draw on my experience teaching college students, finding the right level of detail to explain what I'm saying in a way for to understand.”

Reno, NV – Osteoporosis means bones become more fragile due to structural bone loss from aging. Bones become porous so they don't have the structural integrity they once had.
According to board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic physician Dr. John V. Foley, osteoporosis is a nationwide epidemic, and the problem is only getting worse.
One half of the women in the US will experience a fragility fracture at some point in their life, and the risk factors for men aren’t much better. As the baby boomer generation continues to age, Dr. Foley expects we will see more and more fractures.
“In my 30 years doing orthopedics, it's still a whisper and not a scream,” says Dr. Foley. “I see billions of dollars being spent treating fractures instead of preventing them unless we have a national wake up call.”
One of the main problems for preventing osteoporosis, says Dr. Foley, is that osteoporosis is a silent disease: you do not know you have it until you fracture a bone.
“Unless you kind of stir the pot with your doctor, you won't know you're at risk,” says Dr. Foley, “but there are ways to diagnose your bone health.”
“There is a low dose radiologic study called a DEXA scan that assesses your bone health and the structural integrity of the bone,” says Dr. Foley.
“We start very simply with lifestyle changes like not smoking, not drinking to excess, resistive bone weight bearing exercises to maintain current bone health. We also worry about fall risk, and we talk a lot about fall prevention.”

Lexington, MA – Successful leaders recognize there are many unknowns, and each level of leadership is a new paradigm, a new chapter they will have to engage with and master.
Beth Masterman is the founder of Masterman Executive Coaching, where she works with C-suite leaders, as well as emerging leaders and managers, to help them find the clarity and confidence they need to succeed.
“No matter what my client brings into the room, we always consider, “How does that affect you at work?” says Masterman. “I help people unbundle the issues that are impeding their flow.”
Masterman says she has always had an affinity for psychology, leadership, and understanding human behavior. She has a MA in Psychology and practiced law as an attorney in criminal and civil public law.
Masterman worked as general counsel in the Massachusetts State Senate. She describes the experience as an education in leadership, group dynamics, influence, and how to build coalitions necessary to execute one’s vision.
Masterman helps her clients identify the issues that keep coming up for them at work. She uses her professional coaching skills as well her psychology and legal training to help her clients feel safe as they probe deeper into how they experience their inner world and external work environment. The objective is alignment, impact, and enjoyment.
“People often know what they need to do,” says Masterman. “The execution is what gets fraught. People can't help how they react emotionally and it's okay to be uncomfortable, anxious, and even afraid. The question is: what do you do with all that discomfort?”

Sparks, NV – John Haut is a financial and accounting consultant and expert witness with 20 years of experience with working with major firms on high-stakes matters.
Prior to launching his consultancy, John spent over 20 years at Charles River Associates and Compass Lexecon. Today, he brings big firm experience with small firm prices.
John operates at the intersection of law and accounting, but to call him a forensic accountant understates his capabilities. He has done forensic tracing, but he can do far more.
Unlike most CPAs, John can understand both financial and legal aspects of the case, and tailor his analysis to address issues without improperly rendering legal conclusions.
John’s specialties include business valuation, economic damages, securities litigation and shareholder appraisal actions.
In college, John majored in business administration with a concentration finance, which included the full complement of accounting courses. He received his MBA, passed the CPA exam, then attended law school at UCLA to become an attorney.
“That's where I really got into litigation support,” recalls John. “Although I like the law, I love working with numbers. I love to perform analyses, supervise cases, draft expert reports, and create demonstratives for depositions and trial. I’m most proud when my clients are able to resolve the situation favorably without requiring additional testimony and additional cost to their clients.”

Chicago, IL – Post-traumatic stress disorder is typically associated with veterans who have experienced the trauma of war, but PTSD can develop from many different sources. PTSD has been referred to as a disorder, yet many claim it is an injury. Stella and others have suggested a new term – Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PSTI) – in place of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
When we experience trauma, our brain’s fight-or-flight response becomes stuck in high gear. This may cause an injury to the brain, resulting in the symptoms of trauma like hypervigilance, insomnia and irritability.
Dr. Jason Brajer is a board-certified clinical anesthesiologist and interventional pain management specialist with the Stella Center, where he administers a fast, effective, and lasting treatment for the symptoms of emotional trauma: the Stellate Ganglion Block.
The Stellate Ganglion Block is an injection of a local anesthetic into the stellate ganglion, a nerve bundle in the neck, to suppress the fight-or-flight reflex. The SGB resets spinal cord pathways to the brain and the patient experiences an almost immediate sense of calm. The procedure has been shown to provide relief from symptoms like continual sleep disturbance, surges of anxiety and irritability, hypervigilance, difficulties concentrating and jumpiness.
With the SGB, a patient’s trauma no longer needs to be part of their everyday life. It doesn't mean the trauma is not still lingering there—patients should continue to see their mental health provider—but more than 80 percent of Stella patients have found relief from their trauma symptoms.
“I've been doing pain management for 25 years and I'm most proud of how many people I've helped,” says Dr. Brajer.

El Segundo, CA – When you buy an insurance policy, you hope you never have to use it. As a result, you don't really know if you bought a good policy until you need it.
The truth, according to Frederick Fisher, is that as much as you may expect your insurance agent or broker to advise you and make recommendations, their obligation is only to obtain the coverage a consumer requests.
Frederick Fisher is a professional liability specialist, risk management consultant and the founder of Fisher Consulting Group, where he provides specialty lines of insurance-related consulting services, including expert witness services, litigation strategies and support and claim prevention.
Fisher has spent decades in the insurance industry. He spent the first 20 years of his career as a professional liability claims investigator. Through The Fisher Associates, he provided claims investigation services and resolution services for insurance companies, as well as management consulting, loss control consulting and claims auditing for numerous self-insured and reinsurance clients. Later, as the founder of ELM Insurance Brokers, he provided financial security to his customers.
“I have always been concerned with the financial security of my customer,” says Fisher. “That's how I conducted our business affairs when I ran a claims company and it’s how I ran an insurance brokerage.
“My entire career has been about making sure that the policy provided is what any reasonable person would expect it to cover, whether you are a doctor, lawyer or an architect,” says Fisher.
Today, Fisher provides his expertise to help others provide the same to their clients.

Cincinnati, OH – Dr. Jonathan Gully is a family medicine doctor and expert witness specializing in medical malpractice.
As an expert witness, Dr. Gully’s work relies heavily on reviewing charts
“When you are doing chart analysis for a medical malpractice case, you need to find out exactly what happened, so you have to be a student of history, but it’s mostly a matter of experience,” says Dr. Gully.
According to Dr. Gully, everything comes down to the standard of care. The modern standard is that a doctor must provide “minimally competent care.”
Instead, says Dr. Gully, while diseases sometimes present in a classic way, they often do not, and it can be harder to discern the right course of action.
“When you dissected a frog in high school biology class, they give you a color-coded diagram of what everything is and where it should be, but when you open it up, it doesn't look like that at all. Everything is grey,” says Dr. Gully. “That’s what it's like being a doctor.”
“What I deal with is mostly missed diagnosis,” says Dr. Gully. “You can often be forgiven for missing something once, but the second time, you should have thought more. When I look at charts, a lot of these doctors were a bit lazy in their documentation. You have to show you're thinking about the possibilities.”
A graduate of the University of Cincinnati Medical School, Dr. Gully says what he enjoys most about expert witness work is he gets to use his expertise in a different way.
“I was deposed several years ago, and I really enjoyed the process of being grilled by lawyers,” recalls Dr. Gully.

Oconomowoc, WI – Susan is a well-regarded speaker, leadership advisor, and founder of Backbone Institute working with high performance leaders in the public and private sector, non-profit agencies, and public education. Susan is also the acclaimed author of four books Mom’s Gone Missing: When A Parent’s Changing Life Upends Yours,How to Grow A Backbone: 10 Strategies for Gaining Power and Influence at Work, Of Beauty and Substance: A Backbone Guide for Women, and Life. Be In It.
Before launching her own company, Susan led a turnaround of a private marketing firm in the mid-1990s, which was the practical culmination of years of learning.
When she started her own company, she became instrumental in helping clients learn strategic and marketing planning and professional development. The common thread through all her work was leadership growth. In perhaps an ironic twist of fate, this work fortified her for a more personally grueling chapter of assisting her parents through their battles with Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.
Several years after her parents' deaths, Susan established monthly online Compassion Chats, which have rapidly become an indispensable resource for caregivers needing guidance with the challenges associated with Alzheimer's and Dementia.
In fact, Susan was inspired to write Mom’s Gone Missing the true story of both her parents' battle with Alzheimer's and dementia. Susan says many of us are unpredictably thrown into caregiver roles without being taught how to cope.
All of Susan’s work is indicative of her passion to help others lead with purpose and intentionality.

Seattle, WA – We live in an engineered world. If someone has an idea, it is up to an engineer to make it a reality. From a building to an airplane, to the shirt on your back, engineers take those desires and figure out how.
Civil engineers design roads and structures. Aeronautical engineers design airplanes. Electrical engineers work with electrical power. Chemical engineers work with chemicals
And mechanical engineers do everything that is left over.
VA:W stands for "Value Added by Werner."
The “Werner” in question is Alan Werner, and the value added is his expertise in engineering, specifically mechanical engineering.
As a mechanical engineering consulting firm, VA:W has performed mechanical design projects relating to equipment installation, process design or support structures. Werner’s experience and skills range from process industry design to product development, and his expertise spans district energy, plant boilers, pulp and paper, gypsum wallboard, cement production, food processing and brewing.
Today, Werner’s clients are typically lawyers and insurance companies. While Werner retired from design eight years ago, he retained his professional engineering license for the credibility it brings him in his current role as an expert witness.
“My job is to take a situation and put it into layman's language and translate the information to the lawyers in a way that they can understand,” says Werner.
“It goes back to the fact that I have skills and experience that I can still apply, and I can bring satisfaction as a result of what I'm doing,” says Werner. “I'm most proud of the results I can deliver for my clients.”

“When we had dinner every night, we would have debates. My son was always on the opposite side of his sisters,” recalls Maureen. “The reason a person goes to college is to open his or her mind. It doesn't necessarily give you a job. It enables you to see a different vision, and things that you've never, ever thought about.”
Maureen has been in teaching since 1967, but she says parents are still the primary educators of their children. They have the right to be involved and to empower themselves to be actively involved in their kids' education.
“We have to be brave enough to speak out, even if the opinion that we possess is not the popular opinion.”

Boulder, CO – The need for forensic engineers has never been greater than it is today. Civil and criminal litigation often rely on forensic engineers and their expert testimony to help resolve cases in the courts.
Forensic engineers apply engineering and scientific principles in legal proceedings to determine why and how something happened. They investigate and analyze complex evidence to help lawyers, judges, and juries understand how technical evidence relates to a case. Forensic engineers also serve as expert witnesses when they provide expert testimony at depositions and trials.
"As a forensic electrical and telecommunications engineer, I consult on civil and criminal cases nationwide," says Mark McFarland. "I provide unbiased, clear, and meaningful explanations. My goal is to inform lawyers, judges, and juries so they have the best information available to make their important decisions."
Mark has contributed to a broad range of cases. Many of the civil cases involve personal injury and product liability arising from problems such as electrocution, faulty electronics, and malfunctioning communication systems. Other types of civil cases Mark has investigated include insurance claims, and license and contract disputes.
Mark has investigated criminal cases involving murder appeal, securities fraud, home invasion, and even sex trafficking. Many of these cases involve cellular and GPS evidence.
Mark aspires to continue to grow his practice, and he is deeply passionate about his work.
"I've been really blessed with some great work experience---industry, government, research, and forensics---and a lot of education."

My abilities have not only saved my life, but the lives of those near and dear to me, and will continue to save the lives of countless others.”
Lillian is one of the youngest people ever featured on Close Up Radio, but do not be fooled: her soul is an ancient and wise one whose sight pierces through the illusions of time, death and man.
“At the end of the day Mediumship is Me. There is no separation, it is literally how my brain is wired. Green Mountain Medium was me and my pure to Spirit long before it ever became my business.”

Gig Harbor, WA – Alayna Hale is an educational consultant, teen mentor, master certified life coach and the founder of Infinite Potential For You, where she engages clients to embrace their unique learning languages for success and happiness.
Alayna launched Infinite Potential For You almost eight years ago after she left the classroom as a teacher.
“There were so many children in my classes who were suffering from anxiety, stress and depression at a very early age, nine and 10 years old,” recalls Alayna. “As a teacher in a classroom of 36 kids, I was unable to reach all of those children in differentiated instructions and strategies to create success for them.”
Alayna says parents usually seek her out when they are at their wit's end and don't know how to support their child’s needs.
“Coaches look at what is happening now in order to create for the future,” says Alayna. “We send them off with the tools to go forth and become successful in their own way.”
Of course, the pressures of academics are oftentimes placed on children by the parents. That’s why Alayna requires parents to also work with her.
As for the future, Alayna says she would like more parents and academic institutions to be aware of what is possible when teaching kids from a place of question and opportunity.
“Part of learning is exploring and making mistakes,” says Alayna. “Our world, especially the classroom, is designed to be right or wrong with expectations of success or failure, but to me, failure is actually one of our greatest assets.”

Sparks, NV – John Haut is a financial and accounting consultant and expert witness with 20 years of experience with working with major firms on high-stakes matters.
Prior to launching his consultancy, John spent over 20 years at Charles River Associates and Compass Lexecon. Today, he brings big firm experience with small firm prices.
John operates at the intersection of law and accounting, but to call him a forensic accountant understates his capabilities. He has done forensic tracing, but he can do far more.
Unlike most CPAs, John can understand both financial and legal aspects of the case, and tailor his analysis to address issues without improperly rendering legal conclusions.
John’s specialties include business valuation, economic damages, securities litigation and shareholder appraisal actions.
In college, John majored in business administration with a concentration finance, which included the full complement of accounting courses. He received his MBA, passed the CPA exam, then attended law school at UCLA to become an attorney.
“That's where I really got into litigation support,” recalls John. “Although I like the law, I love working with numbers. I love to perform analyses, supervise cases, draft expert reports, and create demonstratives for depositions and trial. I’m most proud when my clients are able to resolve the situation favorably without requiring additional testimony and additional cost to their clients.”

Washington, DC – The law attempts to make things black and white, but medicine is very gray.
Some people will respond to a drug while others may not respond because everyone’s genetic makeup is very different.
With so many people using different type of drugs, drugs are used, abused and misused.
Forensic pharmacologists take that information into court:
Forensic pharmacology is the intersection of the applied nature of pharmacology in an everyday setting and the law.
Dr. Robert Copeland PhD chairs the Department of Pharmacology at Howard University’s College of Medicine.
He is an expert on forensic pharmacology and toxicology and serves as an expert witness.
As a forensic pharmacologist, Dr. Copeland’s role is to analyze, assess, review legal cases and help attorneys prepare to cross-examine the expert on the opposite side. Dr. Copeland’s area of expertise includes a broad range of cases such as blood alcohol level (BAL), DUI, adverse drug reactions to medicines, overdose of medicines, drug interactions, and personal injury resulting from an exposure to medicines, effects from drug abuse or industrial chemicals, and induction of cancer by chemicals.
Dr. Copeland says his expert witness work grew out of the work he does at Howard, where he teaches the fundamentals of pharmacology to medical students, dental students, pharmacy students, and graduate students.
Dr. Copeland has been teaching for over 35 years. Whether it’s a college class or a jury, he is always educating people.

Greenville, SC – Deb Bucci is the founder of Life Well Strategies, where she specializes in helping organizations transform workplace culture by offering pathways to increase engagement, improve well-being, and live a healthy rewarding life.
Bucci is a thought leader preparing business for the future of work.
“When employees are engaged, it affects more than just their productivity. It affects their personal health, physical health, mental health,” says Bucci. “When the pandemic first began, employees were more engaged than ever out of fear of losing their jobs, but now engagement has dropped to an all-time low and employee wellbeing with it. The only way that this is going to shift is if we really hear what employees are saying.”
A lifelong nurse, Bucci works in the energy/stress management/well-being niche as a coach/consultant helping organizations provide research-based programs and resources for their people.
“I really believe in the talent of the millennials and Gen Z,” says Bucci. “They are the best and the brightest and the most fearless group of people I've ever had an opportunity to be around.”
Performing well in a business environment requires us to be whole and resilient while engaging with our fullest energy.
“I don't believe in the term work-life balance. I just call it Life,” says Bucci. “Performance is a function of ability X motivation. We can expand our knowledge, but our ability remains fairly stable. The variable in this equation is motivation, and the factors that influence motivation are everything we've been talking about autonomy, flexibility and freedom.”

Naples, FL – H. Michael Mogil is a certified consulting meteorologist, national weather educator and the founder of How the Weatherworks, where he specializes in providing forensic weather services to attorneys and insurance companies.
How the Weatherworks’ services include reconstruction and interpretation of past weather events and as well as expert witness testimony and consultation for criminal investigations, automobile accidents, and personal injury and property damage cases.
Mogil has practiced meteorology for more than 50 years, having worked for both the National Weather Service as well as the satellite service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Mogil grew up on the 14th story of a 14-story building in New York City. When he was nine years old, two hurricanes hit New York City, and Mike’s nose was firmly planted on his apartment window watching the storm unfold.
To present himself as a credible consulting meteorologist, Mogil must demonstrate scientific knowledge, ethics, and communicate information in a way an attorney, a court and a jury can understand it.
“We pride ourselves in being able to take complex weather and related information and translate these into easy-to-understand interpretations, presentations, and visualizations at all legal levels,” says Mogil. “I want to be credible. I want to be honest and forthright and find the truth. If the truth helps my client, that’s great. If my research says they don't have a case, I can tell them that and they respect that.”

Oconomowoc, WI – Susan is a well-regarded speaker, leadership advisor, and founder of Backbone Institute working with high performance leaders in the public and private sector, non-profit agencies, and public education. Susan is also the acclaimed author of four books Mom’s Gone Missing: When A Parent’s Changing Life Upends Yours,How to Grow A Backbone: 10 Strategies for Gaining Power and Influence at Work, Of Beauty and Substance: A Backbone Guide for Women, and Life. Be In It.
Before launching her own company, Susan led a turnaround of a private marketing firm in the mid-1990s, which was the practical culmination of years of learning.
When she started her own company, she became instrumental in helping clients learn strategic and marketing planning and professional development. The common thread through all her work was leadership growth. In perhaps an ironic twist of fate, this work fortified her for a more personally grueling chapter of assisting her parents through their battles with Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.
Several years after her parents' deaths, Susan established monthly online Compassion Chats, which have rapidly become an indispensable resource for caregivers needing guidance with the challenges associated with Alzheimer's and Dementia.
In fact, Susan was inspired to write Mom’s Gone Missing the true story of both her parents' battle with Alzheimer's and dementia. Susan says many of us are unpredictably thrown into caregiver roles without being taught how to cope.
All of Susan’s work is indicative of her passion to help others lead with purpose and intentionality.

Regina, SK – Darci Lang has been a motivational speaker since she was 24 years old.
Born in Biggar, Saskatchewan, a town of 2,600 people, Darci’s mother was only 16, so until she was eight years old, she lived with her father, her first mentor.
“I get my entrepreneurial blood from my dad. He ran a Volkswagen repair shop in the backyard of our home,” recalls Darci. “I grew up working in my dad's garage.”
When Darci was 18, she packed up her Volkswagen Beetle and moved two provinces away to interview for a tuxedo rental company. From the first day she was hired, she sought mentors.
“Every day I had a leadership team of 125 years combined experience. They would all ask me the same question every day: what can I teach you today?” recalls Darci.
Pretty soon, Darci was running the store. At 24, she convinced the eleventh bank she walked into to give her a loan to buy her own store.
She got to know the bank manager really well. In his last year of retirement, he became another mentor for Darci.
Darci has had a 100% referral-based motivational speaking business for 28 years.
Now 52, Darci says her duty is to be a mentor to others, to pay it forward.
It's very hard to see what's good, the 90%’s when you don't feel good. says Darci. ”You need to keep asking the person in the mirror - the only person you can control - “What do you need?” What do you need mentally, physically or spiritually to take care of yourself, so you can focus on what is good? Once you do the difficult job of making yourself happy then you can carry the 90% magnifying glass to work and see your job through a 90% lens.”

Long Island City, NY – In our society today, everything is divided in into right and left politics. It's very difficult to have conversations with people who are on the opposite side of the political divide, even people that you love.

Delray Beach, FL – Bees don't just make honey. They are critically important to nature, more so than people ever realize. They play a vital role as pollinators, ensuring we have beautiful flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Tragically, bees have been dying worldwide at an unsustainable rate, with serious consequences for our natural world. The number of honey bee hives in the U.S. has decreased from 6 million in the 1940s to about 2.5 million today.
Nina M. Kelly is the author of HoneyBee TreeHouse, a children's picture book that introduces young readers to the importance of saving bees, and what they can do to help.
Nina was inspired to write HoneyBee TreeHouse doing what we all did at the beginning of pandemic: walking in nature.
Of course, most children, and even adults, are afraid of bees.
“Truthfully, if you leave bees alone, they will not harm you,” assures Nina. “Bees are much smarter than you think. They are very community minded. They have jobs and they do their job. Writing the book, I learned not to be afraid of them. I love bees!”
HoneyBee TreeHouse has even drawn the attention of the World Bee Project’s founder Sabiha Rumani Malik, who writes, “In this beautiful book children discover wondrous facts about these little creatures who we depend on for most of the food that keeps us healthy.”

Phoenix, AZ – Shelli Hendricks is an executive coach and the founder of Blue Horizon Solutions. Shelli works with leaders to unlock extraordinary team performance, personal effectiveness and organizational excellence.
Shelli has served as an instructional designer, executive coach, organization consultant and strategic business partner inside Fortune 500 companies. Shelli has built global teams, managed global executive coaching practices, delivered leadership programs for high potential future leaders at every level in organizations, and coached executive teams through strategic business transformations.
“What I do is develop enriched content and programs that give people a customized learning journey,” says Shelli. “The learner is in the driver's seat, whether they're an individual leader in an organization or a team of leaders in an organization. When we learn a new skill or capability, and then that forms the foundation for good, strong, capable leadership to emerge, that is authentic and genuine.”
If an organization is operating on every cylinder, their people are happy and highly productive and connected and engaged with meaningful work. It’s less management and more creativity, innovation, collaboration and communication. There is a foundation of trust in place.
“To diagnose a culture, you ask people: how do you view leadership? How do you view your supervisor? How well does your team work together?” says Shelli. “Leaders grow future leaders. When you have a culture that fosters leadership growth, everyone wins.”

West Palm Beach, FL – Reinsurance allows multiple insurance companies to share risk by purchasing insurance policies from other insurers to limit their own total loss and protect their surplus.
Dorothy Muir is an accomplished insurance and reinsurance executive with over 30 years of experience handling claims.
“Some of our clients pay us a hundred million for coverage, hoping if they need it, that we are there to assist them in good faith,” says Dorothy. “The biggest part of my job was to make sure that when we dealt with our clients, we dealt with them fairly. If you’re not handling claims properly, that's when you get suits, and it affects everyone's bottom line.”
When insurers do not want to cover claims, even though they should, policyholders will litigate. When they litigate, they need experts to testify as to why a claim should be covered or why not.
Today, Dorothy provides expert witness opinions on insurance, reinsurance and insurance claims handling matters.
“If the claims handlers are not working in good faith and they deny claims that shouldn't be denied, this is where bad faith claims handling comes in and where expert witnesses are needed,” says Dorothy. “As an expert witness, I have to read everything. I have to go back to the insurance contract and the claim file to decide if it should have been covered or not. I submit my opinion to the attorneys who hired me. They may settle. They might decide to go to court. In which case I have to be deposed and testify at trial. So it's an interesting field.”
“You have to be fair in your assessment,” says Dorothy.

Eagle Mountain, UT – New leaders must learn to navigate the waters of middle management, where you have one foot in the field and one foot in corporate. They must shed the thought process of a sole contributor and become more strategic.
Desiree Musselman is a Leadership Development Coach and Trainer and the founder of Desired Effects Coaching, where she works with new and mid-level leaders to enhance their leadership skills and take their businesses from good to great.
I help them create their own motivation, figure out what they wanted to do, where they wanted to go, and learn patience, says Desiree.
Desiree has designed full leadership development programs for existing and upcoming leaders focusing on soft skills, including emotional intelligence, communication skills, team dynamics, and work/life integration.
Desiree was certified as a coach in 2016. At the end of 2019, she left corporate and started coaching on her own.
More recently, Desiree has developed a passion for neuroscience and how it can be incorporated into leadership
“Our brain is fascinating. What we're really trying to do is outsmart it,” says Desiree. “Emotional intelligence is based on understanding how our brain functions and how we intake information and how it passes through our brain. If we can understand how that computer system in our head works, it's a lot easier to understand why challenges are coming up for us and move past them. When I can help my clients understand how their brain works, they can create new neural pathways and get out of those default tendencies.”

Santa Monica, CA – Melanie Klein is an empowerment coach and an expert on Embodied Resilience.
“Embodied Resilience is the gateway,” says Melanie. “It’s the ability to truly have flexibility and bounce back in the midst of challenges. When you have the ability to be adaptable, to be flexible, to bounce back from challenge and adversity, it creates that opening to step into an incredibly empowered state.”
Embodied Resilience, says Melanie, is about stepping into that version of yourself that feels incredibly aligned with your own truth. It's the part of you that feels confident and authentic.
Melanie says the pandemic revealed how much change we need to make to our world. Through Embodied Resilience we have the ability to feel what is happening as it is happening.
“No matter what's happening, there is always constant change occurring,” says Melanie. “Most people either don't notice it or they resist it. So it’s about really pushing people to their boundaries and forcing them to take a look at the fact that we need to be flexible. I'm glad that people are paying attention more. I'm glad that people are engaged more. I'm excited for people to be challenged a little bit in their thinking. If people allow it to be, this can be a really powerful time for everyone. If we begin to focus on purpose and meaning, we recognize we have more choices about how we think feel and do.”
Melanie is the co-editor of the new anthology Embodied Resilience Through Yoga: 30 Mindful Essays About Finding Empowerment After Addiction, Trauma, Grief, and Loss. Her work blends yoga mindfulness and meditation practices.

Paradise, AZ – The hand is the way the body interacts with its environment. As a result, it is the most commonly injured part of the body; people are always putting their fingers where they shouldn't.
A hand surgeon uses one’s hands in the finest, most manipulative way possible.
Dr. Ralph Purcell is an orthopedic surgeon and hand surgeon, who is the founder of the Purcell Orthopedic Institute, where he offers “orthopedic excellence with a personal touch.”
Dr. Purcell has been a practicing physician for over 30 years and has extensive experience in General Orthopedics and Hand Surgery. He is a former Director of Hand Surgery and Attending Orthopedic Surgeon in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Columbia University and a former Attending Surgeon at Beth Israel Hospital at Harvard University. He is currently an Attending Orthopedic Surgeon at the HonorHealth hospital system in Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ.
Dr. Purcell pursued a microsurgery/hand surgery fellowship at New York University, which required an additional year of training following his orthopedic residency.
Unlike almost every other hand surgeon, however, Dr. Purcell never gave up his general orthopedic surgery practice.
By pursuing a career as both a general orthopedist and a hand surgeon, Dr. Purcell is able to provide the necessary overview required for a multi-trauma case, without the need to enlist multiple specialists with their limited focus. This has served him particularly well in his additional career as a medical expert witness.
As an expert witness, Dr. Purcell provides clarity to the most complex general orthopedic and hand issues, including injury causation and extent of impairment.

Corona del Mar, CA – If you exercise or play sports, the older you get, the more your body will begin to break down due to injury, illness and hormonal changes. It begins with inflammation, then muscle fatigue, decreased range of motion, a greater propensity for injuries, invariably leading to chronic pain.
It is possible we could stimulate cell regeneration, tissue repair, enhance blood flow, accelerate metabolism, and relieve pain.
Using the latest advances in LED technology, photobiomodulation or Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a stunning scientific breakthrough that harnesses the natural therapeutic power of light to treat inflammation, wounds, aches and pains, and strengthen your immune system.
Brooke Luciano is the founder of UltraRed Light Therapy, a wellness clinic specializing in pulsed red and near infrared light therapy.
Nicknamed the “Light Ninja Warrior,” Brooke has been using light therapy herself for nearly 20 years. It changed her life so profoundly that she felt compelled to help others through the same approach.
According to Brooke, Ultra Red Light Therapy stimulates healing at a cellular level. Flexible pads of light, with over 1200 LEDs, are positioned on the body and different wavelengths and frequencies are determined for treatment.
The FDA-approved LightMD system we use is the most powerful device on the market. Clients can buy or rent the LightMD device through UltraRed Light Therapy.
Says Brooke: “We are passionate about LightMD and providing it to our community and expanding the community nationwide and around the world.”

El Segundo, CA – When you buy an insurance policy, you hope you never have to use it. As a result, you don't really know if you bought a good policy until you need it.
The truth, according to Frederick Fisher, is that as much as you may expect your insurance agent or broker to advise you and make recommendations, their obligation is only to obtain the coverage a consumer requests.
Frederick Fisher is a professional liability specialist, risk management consultant and the founder of Fisher Consulting Group, where he provides specialty lines of insurance-related consulting services, including expert witness services, litigation strategies and support and claim prevention.
Fisher has spent decades in the insurance industry. He spent the first 20 years of his career as a professional liability claims investigator. Through The Fisher Associates, he provided claims investigation services and resolution services for insurance companies, as well as management consulting, loss control consulting and claims auditing for numerous self-insured and reinsurance clients. Later, as the founder of ELM Insurance Brokers, he provided financial security to his customers.
“I have always been concerned with the financial security of my customer,” says Fisher. “That's how I conducted our business affairs when I ran a claims company and it’s how I ran an insurance brokerage.
“My entire career has been about making sure that the policy provided is what any reasonable person would expect it to cover, whether you are a doctor, lawyer or an architect,” says Fisher.
Today, Fisher provides his expertise to help others provide the same to their clients.

Louisville, KY – Ever since motorcycle riding became a popular leisure activity, women have traditionally sat in sidecars or on the back as passengers.
Now, it’s about being on the front of the bike.
Women’s participation in the male-dominated motorcycle culture has jumped leaps and bounds in the last 20 years.
“I can get anywhere I want to go faster taking side roads than I ever could taking regular roads in a stupid car,” laughs Roxane Maliszewski.

Ferrit It Out is the motorcycle shop for every rider. With her experience in the industry of motorcycle mechanics and motorcycle racing, Roxane says Ferret It Out is hard to beat

Inverness, IL – Today’s pharmacists have evolved beyond the traditional transactional role of the drug store Rx to become a crucial contributor to the clinical healthcare team.
PharmDs work alongside the clinical team to look at a patient's medications and provide consultation on how to adjust drug dosage. PharmDs observe healthcare in action in real time, learn from it, and provide guidance on how to manage it.
Forensic pharmacy is the intersection of the law and prescribed medication.
A forensic pharmacist can be a valuable resource in legal cases involving medicines and medications. They combine the science of pharmaceutical drug research with criminal justice and legal practice.
Forensic pharmacists may be called upon to testify about the side effects of a drug or perform research to determine the effect that a drug had in a person's death.
Dr. Gourang Patel is the PharmD Expert, a clinical pharmacist in the Intensive Care Unit and Perioperative area, as well as a consultant specializing in the areas of pharmacy, toxicology and pharmacology.
Dr. Patel has served as an expert and consultant in the areas of pharmacy, toxicology and pharmacology, and consults equally for defense and plaintiff.
The foundation of the field is based on the principle of learning, so it is always evolving. It never stops. What are the ramifications of utilizing drug A versus B versus C in the same type of surgery? Is there a safer alternative? Is there a more cost effective alternative? How do these medications interact with other medications?
“It's a deeper dive past what's in a text book.”

South Jordan, UT – Structural and civilengineers are deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of creating and maintaining the built environment in which we all live. Maintaining safe and serviceable infrastructure is a complex process, and things can and do go wrong from time to time. Failure occurs when all or part of the built environment becomes unsafe or unfit.When large-scale structural failure occurs, like the collapse last June of the Champlain Towers South in Miami wherein lives were lost, we question our built environment.
Marcor Platt, a forensic structural engineer, says: “There is a phenomenon I often encounter when I investigate the cause of a failure, which is that there were signs beforehand that failure was likely.
Growing up, Marcor says he loved math, physics, logic, and how these are applied in the physical world. He was also raised on cattle ranches in central Utah and eastern Arizona. He built fences, sheds, and other infrastructure with his father to support the ranching operations. Later, at his own house, he designed and built a swing set and chicken coop with his children.
Today, he lives in Utah and works with Precision Systems Engineering where he specializes in both structural and civil forensic engineering services, structural design, and providing expert testimony regarding many of the facets involved in creating and maintaining our built environment.
“I don't focus on generating a high volume of expert witness work. I will accept a forensic or expert witness study only when I have the resources and expertise to do it very well,” says Marcor.

Delray Beach, FL – Bees don't just make honey. They are critically important to nature, more so than people ever realize. They play a vital role as pollinators, ensuring we have beautiful flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Tragically, bees have been dying worldwide at an unsustainable rate, with serious consequences for our natural world. The number of honey bee hives in the U.S. has decreased from 6 million in the 1940s to only about 2.5 million today.
Nina M. Kelly is the author of HoneyBee TreeHouse, a children's picture book that introduces young readers to the importance of saving the bees, and what they can do to help.
Nina was inspired to write HoneyBee TreeHouse doing what we all did at the beginning of pandemic: walking in nature.
Of course, most children, and even adults, are afraid of bees.
“Truthfully, if you leave bees alone, they will not harm you,” assures Nina. “Bees are much smarter than you think. They are very community minded. They have jobs and they do their job. Writing the book, I learned not to be afraid of them. I love bees!”
HoneyBee TreeHouse has even drawn the attention of the World Bee Project’s founder Sabiha Rumani Malik, who writes, “In this beautiful book children discover wondrous facts about these little creatures who we depend on for most of the food that keeps us healthy.”

Springfield, MA – A medium is the person in the middle of this world and the "Other Side.” Speaking with a medium offers a way to connect with somebody who has passed as an alternative means of coping through grief for people who want guidance on their life path.
“It’s another dimension,” explains psychic spirit medium "Seer” and paranormal researcher Lisa Lanno. “We tend to look up to the heavens and the sky because it's beautiful, but it's a dimension close to ours, like they are in another room maybe with the door shut. Sometimes you can hear them clearly, sometimes it’s a bit muffled. I deliver the mail. I don't necessarily know what the mail means.”
Lisa started playing with tarot cards when she was 19 but she was not a medium and professional psychic until she was 54 years old.
“My daughter's friend committed suicide, and my daughter asked me for a reading on the girl,” recalls Lisa.
After that, says Lisa, it just kept happening.
I just said to the universe said, “If this is going to keep happening, I need you to put me where you need me.”
In addition to Mediumship, Lisa also offers life path guidance/tarot, healing from past life trauma, connections with your guides, teaching others to increase intuition, paranormal research, and guidance for the average person not to get taken advantage of by fakes.
She is also the author of the children's juvenile fiction novel, The Secret Cave, an adventure/mystery for readers 8-12. The books helps young readers use creative thinking.

Cranberry Township, PA – When a business is trying to grow, especially in the digital realm, search engine optimization is essential.
SEO boosts a business’s visibility online by tailoring its website to match the preferences of its users as well as Google’s algorithm.
Alicia Cleary is an SEO specialist and the co-founder of Cyber Writers Ink, a full-service SEO and website development company specializing in content optimization for small businesses.
“Our favorite thing to do is empower small businesses,” says Alicia, “but our mission is to help businesses of all sizes grow to their fullest potential.”
On a fundamental level, says Alicia, Google for example, looks for customer value. If Google continues to deliver relevant websites in their search results, people will continue to use their platform, in turn, the overall experience on a website must meet the needs of its users.
“We have to strike a balance between what the owner wants and what their audience needs,” says Alicia. “It’s a long term process, but the results are longer lasting. If we build a user experience that people come back to, and continue to build on what people respond to through engaging content, those results only get better and better and last for a longer period of time.”
Alicia has been a published writer since she was a teenager, but her love for numbers led her toward the world of SEO and digital analytics.
“SEO may seem intimidating, but businesses will have to compete because things are not going backward,” says Alicia. “The data gets better every day and this realm is expanding constantly.”

Denver,CO – Too often, people who are divorcing get caught up in intense emotions that prevent them from being able to think clearly about how to move forward successfully in their lives.
As a licensed Clinical Psychologist, trained Divorce Mediator, Certified Divorce Coach, and Collaborative Divorce Facilitator, Dr. Joyce Fine works with couples to facilitate the healthiest divorce possible for them and their families. She encourages her clients to use their thinking skills, rather than acting from an emotional state when making critically important decisions.
“I want to help people have the best divorce possible,” says Dr. Fine. “As a divorce coach, I think of myself as a thought companion. When people are making these colossal decisions about their family and how to split their finances and how to get along with each other in the future, I can help them make decisions from a thoughtful place rather than out of emotional reactivity.”
Dr. Fine had an amicable enough divorce, yet 5 years post divorce her relationship with her ex-husband became high conflict because of his new partner. According to Dr. Fine, about 23 percent of divorces become high conflict, meaning the parents have trouble working together on their children’s behalf.

Clifton, NJ – Jill Witte is a personal trainer and the founder of True Fit Balance, where she specializes in providing personal training services for the body and the mind.
Through a combination of personal training, brain health training, nutrition and life coaching, Jill strives to help her clients become the best version of themselves by bringing body, mind and life into harmony.
Jill was inspired to create True Fit Balance because of her past experiences trying to find an exercise and nutrition program that worked for her.
According to Jill, we can achieve and maintain a healthy body simply by understanding a little bit more about exercise and a little bit more about nutrition.
When it comes to getting healthy, most people lack patience. We want what we want right now. Who has time for trial and error to figure out what needs to be changed in our exercise routine and nutrition?
That’s why working with Jill is so powerful. Her favorite thing to do is start from scratch.
“Let's start at the beginning,” says Jill. “I’m not a big fan of the word dieting. When I was growing up, dieting meant I'm going to lose weight for an event. it's all about changing the mindset of food, not being on a diet. It's a lifestyle change.”
Jill says she is most proud that she is able to help people get healthy and find their potential.
“Happy feelings nowadays can be hard to come by,” says Jill. “I was unhappy, and it became a comfort zone for me; being happy felt awkward. So this work helped me rewire my brain in a way. It taught me that the sensation of joy stays with you. That’s what I teach my clients.”

Vancouver, BC – Jonalyn Greene is the founder of True Healing Potential, an alternative healthcare practice specializing in mind and body energy medicine.
“To move past our issues, we need to process the stuck emotions that are embedded in the physical body. Emotions are really energy in motion,” says Jonalyn. “That's why mind body energy medicine has such a profound, lasting effect. It’s a whole energetic shift. And it just makes me feel so good to see my clients shed those layers of sadness or pain so their light can shine.”
In her practice, Jonalyn uses two specific energy healing modalities: BodyIntuitive and BodyTalk. BodyTalk and BodyIntuitive explore the deeper layers of the imbalance causing symptoms or disease. These modalities help to uncover the story behind the symptoms. Like a detective, Jonalyn does an intuitive scan of the mind and body to uncover the systems that are out of balance and then helps to reconnect these areas with different techniques.
Wherever you live, you can receive the healing benefits of mind body energy medicine sessions. Jonalyn provides sessions over Zoom from the comfort and safety of your own home which are just as effective.

Naples, FL – Robin Jelinek is a conscious channeler of Athena in Truth, a group of 10 entities delivering messages from universal consciousness.
“Something else speaks through me,” explains Robin. “The primary reason is to assist humans to get a better understanding of how to manifest. They want everyone to feel and be free of resistance.”
The group inhabits Robin’s body, and she receives the download of information. Robin allows it to happen and simply steps aside.
“We are moving through her,” says Athena. “I am the one that speaks for the group.”
Athena in Truth is helpful to people who are struggling in their lives, whether it be in their relationships or their business. It’s hard to prepare someone for what to expect, but the one thing you will receive is the truth.
According to Athena, when we are on this emotive plane, the ups and downs of our emotions are oftentimes what messes us up. Athena helps Robin’s clients move into a higher state of connection.
“We want to say hello and introduce you to yourself,” says Athena. “We want you to enjoy your life. We want to be in your joy.”
“Living without reflection is what we would call unconscious living. There are so many joyous events that are going unnoticed. Humans become victims and they feel downtrodden,” says Athena. “We would love humans to be more conscious of everything, even the coffee they drink. When you are conscious, you find appreciation. We are ecstatic about this opportunity to link with Robin and help humans understand that they are the creator.”

Shorewood, IL – David Lombardo is a court-qualified expert witness in the design, maintenance, operation and levels of force relating to the use of firearms for personal protection.
“Very few attorneys know anything about firearms,” says Lombardo. “As an expert witness, my job is to know more about that case than anybody else to help the attorney know the right questions to ask.”
Firearm related cases have a strong emotional element. Lombardo’s testimony must not only inform the court of the facts surrounding the issues in simple, easy-to-understand language juries can understand, but also counteract the emotional element.
As an expert witness, Lombardo helps attorneys maximize the best case scenario for their clients. With a background in counseling and psychotherapy, as well as two years at Chicago’s famed Second City, Lombardo has a unique flair for persuading juries.
Lombardo is the founder and president of SAFER USA Consulting Group.

“The republic is run by the citizens. If you disarm the citizen, you no longer have a republic. You have authoritarian rule,” says Lombardo. “Of course, this is where it gets difficult. There are people saying it should be totally unfettered. I believe with privilege comes responsibility.”
Lombardo also works with local governments to develop shooting range ordinances. He conducts indoor and outdoor range safety audits and provides management consulting and strategic planning for shooting clubs.

Denver,CO – Too often, people who are divorcing get caught up in intense emotions that prevent them from being able to think clearly about how to move forward successfully in their lives.
As a licensed Clinical Psychologist, trained Divorce Mediator, Certified Divorce Coach, and Collaborative Divorce Facilitator, Dr. Joyce Fine works with couples to facilitate the healthiest divorce possible for them and their families. She encourages her clients to use their thinking skills, rather than acting from an emotional state when making critically important decisions.
“I want to help people have the best divorce possible,” says Dr. Fine. “As a divorce coach, I think of myself as a thought companion. When people are making these colossal decisions about their family and how to split their finances and how to get along with each other in the future, I can help them make decisions from a thoughtful place rather than out of emotional reactivity.”
Dr. Fine had an amicable enough divorce, yet 5 years post divorce her relationship with her ex-husband became high conflict because of his new partner. According to Dr. Fine, about 23 percent of divorces become high conflict, meaning the parents have trouble working together on their children’s behalf.
As a clinical psychologist for 25 years, Dr. Fine says the best interests of the children is of paramount importance.
Dr. Fine also works as a Collaborative Divorce Facilitator, divorce mediator and a child custody evaluator.
She is currently working with a colleague on a book about divorce entitled Move Out, Move On, MoveIn, a road map to ending a marriage and beginning a new family with a new marriage.

Westport, CT – Norman R. Klein, Ph. D. has been in private practice in New York City and Westport, CT with board certifications in Clinical and in Forensic Psychology for more than 30 years. He has taught undergraduates and medical students at leading schools. He is published in textbooks and in peer-reviewed professional journals.
CLINICAL WORK
Life is difficult. We get into trouble when our reality doesn’t match our expectations. We believe we should be happy, at peace, safe, unconflicted, successful. This is a common source of much discontentment and distress. The bigger the gap is between expectation and reality, the more the suffering. A seasoned therapist can guide you to learning ways to lead a more satisfying life.
FORENSIC WORK
Forensic psychology is where the profession of the behavioral sciences interface with the criminal, family and civil courts.
Dr. Klein serves the legal profession when the trier of fact—judge and/or jury—needs an expert opinion to serve as evidence regarding a question involving psychology (e.g., competence to stand trial, parental fitness, malpractice by another psychologist). Such evidence-by-opinion is beyond the general lay public’s scope. It is vital to understand that the expert witness (in any field) is NOT there to win the case for the retaining attorney. The expert witness IS there to defend her or his opinion, ONLY, as persuasively as possible.

Penfield, NY – A migraine is much more than a bad headache. It is extreme, throbbing head pain accompanied by dizziness, nausea, neck pain, anxiety, depression, brain fog, extreme exhaustion, and digestive issues.
Debbie Waidl suffered from chronic migraines every day for 10 years.
Today, Debbie is the founder of In the Balance Health Coaching and The Freedom From Migraines Method, where she supports women who have been suffering with migraines to find a way to end their pain without using pills, quick fixes or risky procedures.
“Our mission is to reduce the number of women who suffer with migraines to zero one woman at a time,” says Debbie. “Each woman can experience their version of migraine freedom and it’s our job to help them achieve that in a way that’s simple and life lasting.”
According to Debbie, migraines are caused by chronic inflammation: our body's way of telling us something is wrong.
Debbie says it all boils down to migraine threshold: the approach she uses in her Freedom From Migraines Method, which focuses on raising the Migraine Threshold and living beneath it. While knowing some of our triggers can be helpful, it really isn't necessary to know every single one. As long as we shift our focus toward living a life that is less inflammatory, we can improve.
Finding migraine freedom alone is challenging, which is why so many women are still searching for ways to end their pain. In the Freedom From Migraines Method program, members work towards ending their migraines with support from Debbie, her team, and a community of women who are working on the same goal-migraine freedom.

San Diego, CA – Dahlia Maman is the founder of Parent Coach Me where she works with parents to engage their children with intention and purpose.
According to Dahlia, effective parenting is about the relationship you have with your child and honoring them as a unique person. Parent Coaching teaches parents to be more focused on their children's strengths.
“The hard truth of parenthood is that we are going to make mistakes; there is no instruction manual for being a parent,” says Dahlia. “With education and awareness, we can appreciate everyone for their differences and what makes them unique, even our own children.”
As the mom of four kids, Dahlia knows firsthand the trials and tribulations of parenthood.
Parents face different problems based on the ages of their children, says Dahlia. Problems with younger children are more about discipline issues. As the kids get older, the challenges become more about homework battles and behavior with siblings. Dahlia says when we change our parenting method, the behavior shifts.
“I handle the toddler problems and the high school problem all the same way, because it all comes down to your relationships with the kids,” says Dahlia. “When you have a solid relationship, with a structure and boundaries, things fall into place.”
Dahlia says what children need is to feel evidence of your love for them every day. That's why it's so important to have such a joyful connection.
“No matter how old the children are, when you start connecting with them on a different level, there's a respect,” says Dahlia. “As you become more connected, the behavior shifts as well.”

Charlotte, NC – On the streets of Argentina, the Tango is a true partnership: one person may lead and the other may follow; sometimes there is no leader; sometimes both dancers lead. The true beauty of the tango is the relationship between the dancers and the trust both dancers have in each other’s willingness to challenge and take risks.
Successfully navigating the evolving business environment as a leader is not much different from the tango. It requires true partnership, the magic of collaboration and the willingness and ability to lead through change.
Featuring a diverse team of executive coaches, senior consultants, strategists, facilitators, trainers, and speakers across north America, Tango Leadership provides highly personalized services to meet individual and organizational leadership needs, including leadership development, transition support, leadership assessment, team coaching, individual coaching, group coaching, and mentor coaching.
“Like the tango, I see leadership as a creative process,” says June Carter, founder of Tango Leadership. “They may be creating a product or a service or a new culture for an entire organization, so there must be a set of values underlying operations and informing the vision of what’s next.”
With a core team of 13 and an expanded network of almost 80 professionals, Tango’s clients experience true partnership.
Setting a vision is only part of a leader’s job, says June. Their other job is developing a culture that allows leaders to emerge. Strong leaders grow more leaders. She says what leaders need right now is agility and resilience.

Santa Clarita, CA – April Grossinger is the founder of Career Rises, where she specializes in helping job seekers market themselves more effectively for their next ideal job.
“The people I work with are highly committed to their careers, upwardly mobile, and want to do work that is meaningful, but they often struggle with how to articulate their strengths,” says April. “By understanding the unspoken rules of job searching, candidates can move past their vulnerabilities and into their effectiveness.”
April is the author of the forthcoming If You Want To Ace Interviews, Stop Answering Questions. According to April, the questions don't matter, only the answers matter. Once you know the answers, you can answer pretty much any question.

April helps her clients with everything from resume writing and search strategy, to interviewing and negotiating salaries and other benefits. Her process gets people from stuck thinking into empowered action.

It’s not always about moving up but it’s more about moving forward toward a better life.”

Long Island City, NY – Maureen Santora says when you remove parents from the equation, children will not receive a good education.
“Parents are the primary educators of their children,” says Santora. “They have the right to be involved. They have a right to question and to empower themselves to be actively involved in their kids' education. Shame on anybody in education who denies that. It’s outrageous.”
Maureen has been a powerful advocate for education her entire life. The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund has awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarships to New York City’s elementary, middle school and high school students.
She says what's missing from education today is the humanity.
“I'm very sad to see what's happening in the school system. Education has eliminated the aha moments, the opportunities for a teacher capitalize on a child’s interest and expand that interest in whatever the topic may be,” says Santora.
Santora is clear that her disappointment lies with administrators. Teachers are doing their best, but they are always expected to do more with less.
“I have great respect for teachers, but teachers are never included in any of the administrative conversations when decisions are made,” says Santora.
Santora herself has been in teaching since 1967.
“When I was a young teacher and a young mother, there was no school better than a local public school,” recalls Santora. “I was involved in my kids' education. I felt that was part of my responsibility.”

Inverness, IL – The number of medicines on the market are in the tens of thousands. What is not entirely known are all of their effects on the body or how healthcare teams can best utilize them.
To best support the patient, today’s pharmacists must be even more of an expert than the traditional drug store Rx with a more robust understanding of disease states than they can learn in the classroom.
Enter the PharmD.
PharmDs attend an additional year after school where they rotate through hospitals, similar to a medical student, to experience the bedside and clinical piece firsthand.
Dr. Gourang Patel is the PharmD Expert, a clinical pharmacist in the Intensive Care Unit and Perioperative area, as well as a consultant, specializing in the areas of pharmacy, toxicology and pharmacology.
As a PharmD, Dr. Patel works with the physicians and the team to look at the patient's medications and provide consultation on how to adjust a drug dose.
“Maybe it's what side effect to look for. Maybe it's dealing with a side effect that the patient had that they come into the hospital,” says Dr. Patel. “You evaluate all that clinical information, chronic disease states, laboratory values, medicines and then you make a recommendation on how to adjust their treatment.”
According to Dr. Patel, pharmacists have been included in the perioperative area only in the last 10 years. Prior to that, the pharmacist never left ‘the box.’ PharmDs have evolved the pharmacist beyond its transactional role to become a crucial contributor to the clinical team.
“I’m proud of being able to give back to the scientific community and patient care,” says Dr. Patel.

Brooklyn, NY – Shoshana Averbach is the founder of Healing Notes, where she is dedicated to connecting each person with their soul.
“There are many gifted healers—therapists, counselors, coaches—helping people from the perspective of the body or the mind,” says Shoshana. “I add a spiritual dimension. I help people realize their potential from the perspective of their soul.”
Shoshana combines music therapy, social work support, soul conversations, energy healing, spiritual healing, the Emotion Code, Remote Spirit Release, space clearing to actualize and express the vibrations of the soul.
Shoshana connects and combine the metaphysical aspects of a person's being with what they experience in the physical world. These aspects are not usually consciously available to the average person, or they are bypassed. People need to listen to and honor their intuition and intuitive messages.
Shoshana grew up in a conservative Jewish home and became Orthodox. Five years later, after finishing her first master's degree in music therapy, she unknowingly embarked on a spiritual healing journey that transformed her life.
Today, Shoshana tries to connect other people with this dimension of themselves.
“I know what it's like to be unhappy and struggling. And I know what it's like to have breakthroughs, and I want to help people have them,” says Shoshana. “I’m most proud of all that I've become and who I'm becoming in spite of my challenges. I'm grateful that God has led me to all the teachers. Against all odds, I have a smile on my face. I love myself and I'm here to help serve others.”

According to Jill, we all have intrinsic birthrights we identify with through which we filter our lives. When our birthrights are imbalanced or missing, we attract uncomfortable experiences into our life and we behave in ways we don’t understand or even want.
Jill typically works with people who have suffered pain or loss in their lives, such as divorce or struggles in all types of relationships. Together, she and her clients discover their birthrights, and combine it with energy balancing to change their life going forward with a new way to relate to themselves and others.

Makini is the Swahili word for awareness. Crystal says that is goal for her clients: to develop self-awareness.
Crystal provides counseling to all age groups suffering from depression, anxiety, grief, anger management or psychosis, and empowers her clients to make life changes. Whether they are suffering from mental illness or are struggling through a life transition, Crystal helps her clients through their journey by providing insight to reach some level of normalcy.
“I have battled depression. I've battled anxiety and low self-esteem. I share my story and let them know that they can get through this,” says Crystal. “Living with a mental illness is overwhelming, and it can be debilitating for some. The best thing to do is to invest in yourself to have a good quality of life.”
Crystal’s philosophy is “Feel, then heal.” It is only through allowing yourself to fully experience an emotion that you can truly move through it in a positive, healthy manner.
As for the future, Crystal plans to expand Makini Counseling into a full-service wellness group with other clinicians like yoga and meditation therapists for a complete, holistic approach to mental health.
“When I have a client who comes in and they're at their lowest point, I watch them transform,” says Crystal. “I’m most proud when they don’t need me anymore.”

Long Island City, NY – Maureen Santora says when you remove parents from the equation, children will not receive a good education.
“Parents are the primary educators of their children,” says Santora. “They have the right to be involved. They have a right to question and to empower themselves to be actively involved in their kids' education. Shame on anybody in education who denies that. It’s outrageous.”
Maureen has been a powerful advocate for education her entire life. The Christopher Santora Educational Scholarship Fund has awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarships to New York City’s elementary, middle school and high school students.
She says what's missing from education today is the humanity.
“I'm very sad to see what's happening in the school system. Education has eliminated the aha moments, the opportunities for a teacher capitalize on a child’s interest and expand that interest in whatever the topic may be,” says Santora.
Santora is clear that her disappointment lies with administrators. Teachers are doing their best, but they are always expected to do more with less.
“I have great respect for teachers, but teachers are never included in any of the administrative conversations when decisions are made,” says Santora.
Santora herself has been in teaching since 1967.
“When I was a young teacher and a young mother, there was no school better than a local public school,” recalls Santora. “I was involved in my kids' education. I felt that was part of my responsibility.”

Modesto, CA – Bret Lampman and John Welsh are the co-founders of Choku-Rei Wellness & Coaching.
Choku-Rei Wellness & Coaching offers a holistic way to improve your health, taking into account your body, mind, emotions and spirit.
“Holistic health and wellness looks at the entire person: how they interact with their environment, and how food, medications or stress impact their overall health” says Welsh. “It's not just one aspect of a person that needs healing: the physical, the emotional, the mental, the spiritual are all one thing; if you impact one part of the body, you impact the entire body.”
For individuals suffering from chronic pain, Choku-Rei Wellness & Coaching combines therapeutic body work with coaching for people who are motivated to make lifestyle changes.
“The coaching is a natural extension of the work,” says Lampman. “The coaching process helps you look at what's really going on in your life and what changes need to be made.”

“We tend to focus our treatment on the area of concern instead of thinking of ourselves as a system,” says Lampman. “All the work we do isn't going to help if the source of the physical pain is emotional stress. We have to remove the cause to remove the symptoms.”

Dallas. TX – Julie Rivera is a mind and body integration coach and the founder of Coaching with Julz, where she works with women who have overidentified with the roles in their life. Julie helps her clients flip the script from negative mindset to one of empowerment.
Julie has always been motivated to understand what drives thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Julie has a Masters degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling specializing in Trauma and Crisis and spent time working in a clinic under supervision.
According to Julie, happiness is not external; it comes from within. To move beyond the identities that we have built for ourselves, we must find the core of who we are.
“Coaching is about habit change,” says Julie. “When you work with a coach, you're in control. We just facilitate and show you the blind spots. Let me put a mirror up and show you what I see from an outside perspective to help you get back into who you are.”
Julie was once just like her clients.
“I lived a life that was not mine for many years. I hid behind the roles I played. I was a wife. I was my job,” recalls Julie. “Through coaching, I became happy with what was inside, not what was around me. I reconnected with who I was, what I believed and what was important to me.”
As a woman in her 40s who has found happiness, Julie wants to share her message with others.
“I'm just a regular person who decided to take a risk and live life for myself,” says Julie. “You show up better for everybody when you've poured into yourself. I teach my clients how to pour into themselves and not feel guilty about it.”

Millersburg, OH – Dr. Barbara Stone developed a healing method called Soul Detective. Her work goes into the invisible world of spirit to find the underlying issues behind mental and emotional illness.
“Soul Detective protocols are designed to help therapists and energy healers find and eliminate the invisible detrimental energies behind their clients’ complex emotional wounds and empower them to express their gifts and talents to fulfill their soul’s mission in life,” says Dr. Stone.
Dr. Stone says she was first set on this path when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42.
That was 30 years ago. Today, Dr. Stone is in radiant health. The experience led Dr. Stone to write her first book Cancer As Initiation: Surviving the Fire (1994), which recounts her holistic approach to recovery from this illness.
After recovering from cancer, Dr. Stone’s clinical work took an unexpected turn toward earthbound spirits and past life trauma. Her second book Invisible Roots: How Healing Past Life Trauma Can Liberate Your Present (2008) is the culmination of her research into these unseen realms and has the Soul Detective protocols she developed for these two issues.
Invisible Roots was followed by Transforming Fear into Gold: How Facing What Frightens You Most Can Heal and Light Up Your Life (2012), a guide to converting our greatest fears into energy we can use to realize our human potential.
“Soul Detective was born out of difficulties in my practice,” says Dr. Stone. “Neither my master's social work program nor my doctoral program offered ghostbusting courses. I had to figure it out.”

Naples, FL – Robin Jelinek is a conscious channeler of Athena in Truth, a group of 10 entities delivering messages from universal consciousness.
“Something else speaks through me,” explains Robin. “The primary reason is to assist humans to get a better understanding of how to manifest. They want everyone to feel and be free of resistance.”
The group inhabits Robin’s body, and she receives the download of information. Robin allows it to happen and simply steps aside.
“We are moving through her,” says Athena. “I am the one that speaks for the group.”
Athena in Truth is helpful to people who are struggling in their lives, whether it be in their relationships or their business. It’s hard to prepare someone for what to expect, but the one thing you will receive is the truth.
According to Athena, when we are on this emotive plane, the ups and downs of our emotions are oftentimes what messes us up. Athena helps Robin’s clients move into a higher state of connection.
“We want to say hello and introduce you to yourself,” says Athena. “We want you to enjoy your life. We want to be in your joy.”
“Living without reflection is what we would call unconscious living. There are so many joyous events that are going unnoticed. Humans become victims and they feel downtrodden,” says Athena. “We would love humans to be more conscious of everything, even the coffee they drink. When you are conscious, you find appreciation. We are ecstatic about this opportunity to link with Robin and help humans understand that they are the creator.”

Dallas, TX – Many of us have gotten stuck in our careers, or we feel that we can’t ask for what we deserve and change direction toward something even better because of fear.
Lisbeth Ceballos is the founder of LC Leadership with, where she specializes in leadership coaching and executive development with a focus on professional women.
“It’s difficult to know how to handle the volume of challenges that comes with an executive or managerial position,” says Lisbeth. “I focus my coaching on courageous leadership. By working to develop your self-confidence, we can rebrand you as a confident, courageous leader.”
After more than 20 years in the executive world, including as VP of operations for a large hospitality organization, Lisbeth has been doing coaching for five years.
“It started based on what I wanted as a leader,” recalls Lisbeth. “I realized that the only thing I could control was my attitude. I just fell in love with coaching. You see people who truly want and need to change.”

San Tan Valley, AZ –From the "fro" to braids to weaves, Black women express themselves through their hair.
But hair has always been a sensitive topic of discussion within the Black community. African-Americans have a hard time finding quality products in stores. What products are available are filled with chemicals that can actually damage hair.
Stephanie Bailey is the founder of Royal Beauty Supply & Custom Wigs, a Black-owned and operated beauty supply store specializing in skin, body and hair beauty products for African-American women.
“The best products for Black women can’t be found in Walmart or Sally's,” says Stephanie. “It has come long way, but the products you find in traditional stores are not the best of what’s available. Our products are meant for our uniquely textured hair.”
Stephanie is educated on all types of hair down to the follicle. Hair has always been a passion for Stephanie.
Stephanie is also joined by her daughter Tia.
“Our mission for Royal Beauty Supply is to uplift others who are different,” says Tia. “I used to have a big Afro, and I live in a predominantly white community. A lot of the times my hair wasn't uplifted, and I didn't know how to take care of my hair. When I would go to beauty supply stores, they didn't know the answer. When someone comes to Royal Beauty Supply, to ask, ‘How can I get my hair to grow? How can I dye my hair without damaging it?’ we know the answer.
“It's just really important for us to not only we give out product knowledge, but we also uplift the community and let them know that this is a place of safety,” says Stephanie. “You can come here and be uplifted and celebrated.”

Chandler, AZ – Close Up Radio today announced mortgage origination expert Nicolas Magallanes will be featured in a one-on-one exclusive interview with host Doug Llewelyn on December 10th at 2pm EST.
Home mortgage consultant Nicolas Magallanes has always worked from sunrise to sunset.
The Marine Veteran received special recognition in June 2021 issue of The National Association Of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals as one of 2021’s Top 100 Latino Mortgage Originators.
“It’s a testament that constant effort to deliver excellent work has paid off,” says Nicolas. “Complacency kills. That's one of the things they used to teach us in the Marines. Always find a way to continue to outdo yourself.
Nicolas and his wife Karen start their day every morning at 4:00am. Nicolas will typically not log off his computer until 6:30pm later that night.
“I just have more endurance when it comes to work,” says Nicolas. “But when I'm able to call my client and say they're cleared to close, it’s the greatest experience in the world.”
Once a client reaches Nicolas in this process, it's Nicolas’s job to help guide people toward the loan most appropriate for them and encourage the process to get them across the finish line.
“It's not so much the quantity, but finding the quality,” says Nicolas. “Let's look at conventional first, but we also have FHA, USDA and RHS.”
Still, says, Nicolas, the secret to his success has been humility.
“The nature of this industry: the inventory is the inventory and there's a lot of people who want to originate a mortgage,” says Nicolas. “It's a tough racket, but you have to maintain your integrity.”

Rutland, MA – Over the past 10 years, the public response to the opioid crisis was mainly focused on restricting access to medicine to the sickest of the sick. Patients were no longer to be treated with opiate pain medication and offered ineffective, and often untested, alternative treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapies, Tai Chi, exercise and other self-management techniques.
Unfortunately, many people who truly need opiate pain medication have been greatly harmed from this approach.
“This is happening widespread, but it’s not being given the coverage that it deserves,” says Lauren Deluca. “For those suffering from pain from chronic illness, opioid based medications are the only treatment that provides them any semblance of relief and functionality.”
Deluca is the Executive Director and Founding President of the Chronic Illness Advocacy & Awareness Group (CIAAG), a national non-profit organization focused on the public-private partnerships influence on patient rights and access to medicines.
The best way to describe CIAAG is to explain how it came together.
In May 2017, Deluca went to the emergency room for an acute pancreatic attack.
“I was denied appropriate care” recalls Deluca. “However, the emergency room was exactly where I needed to be.”
“I created the organization by necessity,” says Deluca. “I was in medical emergency, and quickly I recognized that there was no organization that I could turn to for help, so I decided to become that organization.”

Burlington, ON – Teressa Joubert is a Spiritual Empathic Psychic Medium, Clairvoyant Aura Artist, Medical Intuitive, Spiritual Teacher, and the founder of Teressa Medium Readings.
Through her advanced abilities of clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience and claircognizance, Teressa is able to communicate with the spirits of loved ones who have passed.
Teressa can see your loved ones in spirit, as they stand in the room with her and gesture information while communicating telepathically through symbols, thoughts and feelings.
Teressa offers guidance from loved ones on the other side, but she also connects to a person's highest self, the version of us that's most closely connected to God or source or divine energy, to help you in your career, life purpose, relationship and health.
Teressa has been seeing and feeling energy since she was a child. She says it was difficult growing up, adjusting to understand what her abilities meant. She was receiving multiple intakes of information telepathically. It was overwhelming.
Teressa started practicing professionally in 2014 and hasn’t looked back. Today, in addition to her readings, Teressa has launched the Sixth Sense Transformation Mastery Program, where students learn how to successfully and accurately use their intuition to make better decisions and safely connect to the other side.
“Everybody has some percentage of a sixth sense, but colleges and universities don't typically have a program for mediumship or medical intuitives,” says Teressa. “I wanted to be that person for other people I never had for myself to help other people through this process.”

Pembroke Pines, FL – A tremendous investment in infrastructure is expected over the next 10 years, but the workforce necessary to complete these project does not currently exist.
For the construction of tomorrow to take us into the next century, workforce development will be essential.
Annie Mecias-Murphy is the co-owner and president of JA&M Developing LLC, a family-owned shell contracting firm for residential and commercial projects. JA&M’s niche is the main structure of a building.
Annie is dedicated to exposing the next generation, especially underprivileged students, to the opportunities that can be found in construction, which includes everything from carpentry, concrete and stucco to masonry and steel.
To Annie, workforce development is all about young people. Annie works with the Boys & Girls Club of Broward County, the Florida East Coast chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, and the EPIC Foundation to create a pipeline for students under 18 to enroll in their apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
“It’s about being able to expose the students to these skills at a young age because it could be life-changing,” says Annie. “I was lucky enough to be introduced to this world as a kid because of my dad, but not everybody has that exposure. If you don't know that it exists, how could you know that there are better opportunities for you? I like to be able to help in any way I can.”
And with thousands of people moving to Florida every day, construction is not going to stop.

“When you are working with an excellent coach that is genuine, you will see improvement in all areas of your life.”
And it's not just executives. Lisbeth will work with any professional who really wants to change. She works with her clients to become more effective through actively listening.
“Each of us must focus on being the best version of yourself each day. That’s what inspires people,” says Lisbeth. “As we do that, we will find that the results, and the people we need to help us reach our goals, will follow.
Aurora, OH – The Cambium is the part of the tree where cells reproduce and grow. When a tree is nurtured with sunlight, water and nutrients, its growth is accelerated through the rings of the cambium.
Amy Salapski is the founder of Cambium Development Group, where she accelerates individual and organizational growth through coaching, leadership development and organizational development.
Amy’s mission is to nurture professional and personal growth and to empower people to achieve their absolute best. Amy works with organizations as well as individuals to help reach their leadership and professional development goals.

Prior to launching Cambium, Amy held leadership positions for about 25 years. She left corporate America to open her own practice and expand her reach to multiple organizations.
Amy has a passion for women in leadership.
“I have found that when I work with women, particularly in a group coaching environment, we are able to create a very strong bond and almost lifelong network of support,” says Amy. “When you bring a group of women together, they tend to be vulnerable, authentic and transparent. They aren't worried about how they're being perceived so they immediately build trust with each other, which accelerates their development.”

Austin, TX – Martha Lynn Mangum is an executive coach and the founder of Martha Lynn Mangum & Associates, where she supports and guides leaders and business owners to reach higher levels of success.
Mangum serves two types of clients: executive leadership of large corporations and their teams as well as solo practitioners and business owners. She is committed to working with leaders to build higher levels of engagement, productivity, and performance. This comes from understanding what drives and motivates individuals in any organization.
The majority of Mangum’s coaching is in the realm of communication: how to communicate effectively and identify blind spots to better serve their teams. Mangum begins her work with every client by identifying their personal core values.
“We live through our core values,” says Mangum. “They are so much a part of who we are, that most of the time they become unconscious to us. The focus of my communication training is teaching people how we listen through our core values, experiences, and beliefs and recognizing that everybody has their own values, experiences and beliefs.”
Communication breaks down when we expect others to live by our core values. This is often done unconsciously, says Mangum. Once we can understand this, it gives everyone more room to solve problems.
“What’s most rewarding for me is seeing people who seem to be in conflict reach a true understanding of each other and are able to work together in a completely different capacity than they ever have before.”

Pembroke Pines, FL – A tremendous investment in infrastructure is expected over the next 10 years, but the workforce necessary to complete these project does not currently exist.
For the construction of tomorrow to take us into the next century, workforce development will be essential.
Annie Mecias-Murphy is the co-owner and president of JA&M Developing LLC, a family-owned shell contracting firm for residential and commercial projects. JA&M’s niche is the main structure of a building.

Annie works with the Boys & Girls Club of Broward County, the Florida East Coast chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, and the EPIC Foundation to create a pipeline for students under 18 to enroll in their apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
“It’s about being able to expose the students to these skills at a young age because it could be life-changing,” says Annie. “I was lucky enough to be introduced to this world as a kid because of my dad, but not everybody has that exposure. If you don't know that it exists, how could you know that there are better opportunities for you? I like to be able to help in any way I can.”

Winfield, WV – Kimberly Hambrick is a leadership development and growth coach and founder of Kimberly Hambrick Consulting.
“I empower leaders to empower other leaders,” says Kimberly. “It’s about living into their focus and their full potential to make a difference in the world instead of just climbing a corporate ladder.”
Kimberly spent 30 years in corporate leadership roles for educational consulting organizations before she stepped out on her own. Today, Kimberly works with successful leaders like her who have reached a point in their career when they want something more.
According to Kimberly, leadership is about other people. If you’re going to be a leader, you need to people-centric, values-based and heart-centered. That’s why Kimberly enjoys working with leaders at all levels of their career, from emerging leaders to senior CEOs.
“When you get into a leadership role you realize you're setting the vision,” says Kimberly. “Your role as the leader should be to set the expectations from day one, explain what accountability looks like and lead from there.”
Kimberly says one of the challenges is that the compassion and heart of leadership has gone by the wayside.
“I've seen leaders put into a position of leadership because of their years of experience and knowledge, but they didn't have the people skills,” says Kimberly. “As a result, leaders have shied away from investing in their team as people. Success is adding value to yourself. Significance is when you add value to others—that’s a leadership legacy.”

Redmond, WA – Amanda Madorno, award-winning coach and business consultant believesemotional intelligence (EQ) is the foundation of leadership excellence, yet many leaders need more than they possess.
“Emotional intelligence is about the level of deep and honest personal insight we have about ourselves: who we are, and what emotionally drives our behaviors in specific situations,” says Amanda. “It’s also about understanding how we impact people through our words and our behavior.”
Amanda is the founder of Roam Consulting LLC, a leadership coaching and development firm. She works with seasoned C-suite executives as well as emerging leaders on building their emotional intelligence to be more effective in their leadership roles.
Amanda’s leadership coaching and consulting is informed by what she herself has learned as a leader. Her experience includes 18 assignments as an Interim CEO, often in pressured situations where she needed to orchestrate financial and management turnarounds.
What makes Roam Consulting unique is her Leadership with Horses leadership development program, where she teaches leaders how to improve their emotional intelligence through interactions with horses. This type of experiential learning has been shown to be amazingly effective at helping leaders in a transformative way.
Horses respond in the moment to how you show up as a leader. They offer unfiltered feedback, no politics. Leaders learn that how they deal with horses is often how they deal with people.
“The program is about helping leaders become aware of their behavior in real time and what happens when they change it,” says Amanda.

Batavia, IL – Divorce is one of the most emotionally difficult life events a person can go through. This is why many people are turning to Certified Divorce Coaches (CDC) like Heather Crimmins.
Heather Crimmins is a CDC who believes with proper guidance divorce can also end up being a precious gift.
Heather herself has been divorced twice. She was not aware divorce coaching existed until four years ago, when she went to contact her attorney from her first divorce 15 years prior. While he no longer worked at the firm, Heather saw they had a certified divorce coach on staff.
“I thought, ‘What on earth is that?’” recalls Heather.
It turns out it was something she had already been doing unprofessionally for decades. Once she had done her research and connected with Co-Founder and President of the professional standard in the industry, she realized her decades of informal coaching with family and friends had prepared her for this career opportunity.
Today, Heather’s goal is to help clients gain much needed traction out of the ditch of divorce and shepherd them toward their best possible outcome.
A CDC can be used at any time along the divorce process. It would be best at the start yet one can be brought in at any time; especially to help alleviate the contention and present credible cases to the court at each milestone of the process. This helps the efficiency of the case and saves clients time and money in the long run.
Heather allows her clients the safe space to talk through a litany of emotions and questions that bubble up when in the thick of it. Clients can move more easily through the process and be proud of their behavior through the tumult.
“I just have the willingness and the passion to help people help themselves,” says Heather.

Viera, FL – Denise Zack is a certified life coach, meditation instructor, yoga teacher and the founder of Ripple Affect Life Coaching, LLC where she offers wellness-based consulting, meditation, mindfulness and yoga for individuals and businesses.
Prior to launching Ripping Affect, Denise was a Licensed Professional Counselor for 20 years. She started meditating and practicing mindfulness in 2011.
This led Denise to develop a specialized method of Mindful Life Coaching. Denise’s unique approach helps her clients identify their unproductive patterns and change them to gain emotional control over their lives and work through difficult situations in a more effective way. It is easy to use Denise's method and to put it into practice on a daily basis.
“I give people the tools they need to become more mindful and reflective about their reactions in their world, as well as how they perceive themselves and others,” says Denise. “I want my clients to use their emotions in more skillful ways that facilitate their thinking rather than react to circumstances and lose their cool. If you practice mindfulness, you can develop more control over your reactions and create new patterns.”
Denise works with those who want to better themselves in business, their personal life, in individual and in group sessions.
“My goal is to get as many people educated in mindfulness as possible,” says Denise. “Mindfulness helps me to be a better person. It helps me be more empathetic. It helps me to be more rational. And I think we need more empathetic and rational people in our world, because everybody's so reactive and emotional and angry and agitated these days.”

Calgary, AB – Yoga is not simply exotic stretching. It is a lifestyle discipline that integrates new healthy habits consistently over time which effect how we think, feel, and respond to our environment.
Harmony Slater is a certified Ashtanga yoga teacher, Life-Wellness coach, and founder of Finding Harmony Coaching. Harmony combines yoga with health and life coaching so clients can experience a more powerful life transformation.
Harmony began practicing yoga 25 years ago, long before it was popular. She says it helped her through adversity, including recovery from an eating disorder, and a deep sense of self-loathing and unworthiness.
Five years after she started practicing, with two degrees in Philosophy and Religious Studies, Harmony moved to India and later Thailand to work at a yoga retreat center.
Through physical postures, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and personal coaching, Harmony’s clients become aware of their habitual tendency to slip into negative thinking. This process of connecting more deeply to ourselves in mind, body, and spirit automatically begins to shift our behaviors to move us toward higher dimensions of wellness.
“I found that people were getting stuck in the physical exercise, but the real power of yoga comes from the breathing,” says Harmony.
These days, we're more connected than ever online, through social media, but we’re incredibly disconnected from ourselves. It's so easy to get so caught up in everyday life that you lose sight of the fundamentals, like how to focus the mind through breath-awareness and self-reflection, and to make time for a daily self-care routine.

Peachtree City, GA – Stephen Childs is the founder of Neuro Executive Coaching, where science and art meet to enhance high performance leadership capabilities.
“I take the formal structure of coaching and I infuse it with neuroscience,” says Childs. “It’s about response. I work with people on how they respond to massive change, performance conversations, development, and how they respond to leader direction.”
Most executive leaders think of themselves as their job. There is a price to be paid when taking on a role at that level in an organization, but there is also a balance that people can achieve if there is someone to help them work toward it.
Neuro Executive Coaching provides a unique approach that not only guides clients through obstacles, but also teaches them how to navigate future challenges.
In addition to Neuro Executive Coaching, Stephen serves as a chief human resources officer.
“When our organization introduced neuroscience into performance management, it completely changed how we managed our people,” recalls Childs. We saw how much we can change as an organization by infusing a humanistic approach of leadership. Gratitude, vulnerability, compassion and accountability go a long way in developing leadership trust.”
Childs’ clients include C-suite executives from banking, manufacturing and technology to finance, HR and engineering.
“Most people avoid vulnerability, but vulnerability is what's going to create those authentic relationships with your teams,” says Childs. “The more vulnerable we can be, the sooner our team can develop.”

Oak Park, IL – Dr. Laurie Anderson is a well-known psychologist and executive coach specializing in leadership, career planning, and personal effectiveness. In her first interview, she encouraged us to rethink and perhaps reject the neverending demands and pressures of our modern lives.
Today, Dr. Anderson is going to talk us through an opportunity that faces so many of us. While the Covid-19 pandemic is not entirely behind us, there are growing expectations for us to go back to normal, meaning how we worked before 2020. Yet, for many, the forced lockdown became a time of reflection and even the chance for a ‘reset’ how we work going forward.
For those of us who aren’t the heads of a business, organization, or sole practitioners, redesigning how we might want to change our work requires a conversation with our manager or boss.
Today, Dr. Anderson is doing to talk us through how we might approach that conversation, or as she terms it, ‘renegotiation.’
Her suggestions are very timely but they can serve us even beyond this moment in time.

Atlanta, GA – Unless it’s deeply embedded in the culture, most organizations don’t have much sympathy for the challenges their employees may face.
Kenisha Darden had recently had a child with special needs while managing her own life-threatening illness.
And so Kenisha began exploring other options. That’s when she discovered Arise Virtual Solutions.

Orlando, FL – On June 28th, 2016, everything changed for Bonnie Gisriel-Magerer.
She and her husband Scott woke up that morning preparing for their company EC Events biggest event of the year at Fort Belvoir military base in Virginia.
She would end the day a widow; her husband had collapsed from a heart attack in the middle of the event. He was 51.
“I look back at that day and I can remember every detail, every smell, every cloud in the sky,” recalls Bonnie. “Without my leadership skills and my faith, there is no way I could have made it through that day.”
In the hours that followed her husband’s death, Bonnie personified grace under fire, leading her employees to finish the job through the crisis.
Today, Bonnie is the founder of BPowered Coaching, where she has taken the lessons that she learned through her many entrepreneurial quests on that tragic day to help leaders become even better leaders.
“Most people don't figure out they're not a great leader until they’re deep in it,” says Bonnie, “So many leaders believe it’s all about profit, and that’s because most entrepreneurs have no background in leadership. They had an idea, they had a product, and they fought to bring it to market, but now their organization has grown to the point where they are no longer leading it properly.”
Bonnie says being a true leader is being a servant leader: you have to give back to your people and treat them the way they need to be treated so that they feel fulfilled and continue to grow.

Chicago, IL – When it comes to long-term recovery from addiction, it has been proven over and over again that peer support yields higher rates of success. The broader the network of support, the more sustainable the recovery.
Ideally, an individual interested in recovery would have a Peer Recovery Support Specialist and if needed other support such as mental health or mutual aid groups.
A Peer Recovery Support Specialist is a nonclinical peer mentor trained and certified as a supportive level of care to help remove the obstacles to long-term recovery.
Amy Burrows is a Peer Recovery Support Specialist and the founder of Recovery One On One, where she offers a holistic approach to recovery. Tailor made for each client.
Peer recovery specialists are typically people in recovery themselves. Burrows has been in physical recovery for over 15 years.19 years of trauma recovery.
“I was using alcohol and other poor coping skills throughout my life for about 30 years,” recalls Burrows. “I’m a completely different person today. I stay in recovery by balancing my own life, which I demonstrate to my clients. My own recovery comes first.”
Burrows says peer recovery is growing because each person gets their own recovery plan with control over how they spend their time in recovery. Peer Recovery Support Specialists serve as a link to recovery resources and the recovery community, as well as a guide to help their clients achieve life skills to find their own way.
“I don't tell people how to recover. I show them that they have the resources to recover within themselves,” says Burrows. “I support them in how they want their life to move forward.”

Greenwich, CT – Executive coaches can help leaders maintain focus to keep their people motivated.
Joan Caruso is an executive coach and the founder of Development Directions Consulting Group, where she works with senior level executives who are already successful that want to improve their leadership skills to continue on the track toward success.
“You're already successful. What's missing? What do you want to be better at that you're already good at?” says Joan. “Sometimes we overuse strengths because that's what made them successful, so it’s about helping people expand their comfort zone and their competencies. It's time to start growing and expanding our repertoire.”
An organizational psychologist by training, Joan worked in corporate America as an internal organizational psychologist before executive coaching even had a name. Joan says what's fun about executive coaching is that everyone is different and they perceive that their challenges are unique to their situation.
Joan’s approach to coaching is coaching by specific objectives, identifying these objectives through stakeholder interviews.
“Magic comes out of these stakeholder interviews. You look for themes in what people say,” says Joan. “Most of the time my clients are surprised by what they hear and want to change that perception. That gives you an objective to get started, like emotional intelligence.”
In the end, says Joan, the coach doesn't do the work. The client does the work, but they will succeed so long as they are willing to commit to change.
Says Joan: most proud of seeing somebody who says that they can’t achieve something realize that they can.”

Oak Park, IL – Dr. Laurie Anderson has a message for the exhausted working women of America: “Let’s not stay frustrated, sad, or self-critical. Let’s get smarter.

These were the folks who would hire her on the spot, pay her well, care about her advice, and not expect her to attend meetings or meals, after 3pm when her boys got home from school. “Kinda genius,” she says looking back on her career strategy. Who knew how very relevant compelling work time/place/ flexibility this would be in 2020-2021!”
As you can see, this was not and is not standard advice. Dr. Anderson is committed to getting ahead of the curve of average stress and forging new paths while balancing stage of life needs and acceptable risks.
Dr. Anderson leads us into a “conversation about possibility” supported by science and actual practices, not just her own but others she has coached.

Sewaren, NJ – Connie Elek is a psychic medium, clairvoyant, empath, Reiki master, Tarot reader and angel power therapist.
Connie channels souls who have passed over to help clients find a sense of closure when a loved one has died.
“When I was a child, everyone just thought I had an active imagination,” recalls Connie. “I knew that I had abilities that other people didn't have. I knew what was going to happen before it happened.”
Today, Connie says it’s her soul's calling to help people who are in distress and in transition. Connie says she is almost always able to make contact with the deceased loved one to bring them messages of what actually happened.
The future can scary. If we don't have someone to talk to, it's difficult to take that first step toward the future. In assembling all these modalities, it's one thing to have the talent, but Connie has created structure around her abilities.
In addition to her work as a psychic medium, Connie also helps clients navigate transition in their lives, like marriage, separation, divorce, illness, death, loss of jobs, children leaving home. All are stress factors that people face every day. Some people cope better than others dealing with life's ever changing conditions.
“It's enabling people to find what is it that they love to do,” says Connie. “What are you passionate about? It doesn't matter, as long as you find joy in what it is that you're doing. For me, it's helping people.”
“I’m most proud of helping people find their passion and their joy. It's what gives me a great sense of accomplishment.”

Winfield, WV – Kimberly Hambrick is a leadership development and growth coach and founder of Kimberly Hambrick Consulting.
“I empower leaders to empower other leaders,” says Kimberly. “It’s about living into their focus and their full potential to make a difference in the world instead of just climbing a corporate ladder.”
Kimberly spent 30 years in corporate leadership roles for educational consulting organizations before she stepped out on her own. Today, Kimberly works with successful leaders like her who have reached a point in their career when they want something more.
According to Kimberly, leadership is about other people. If you’re going to be a leader, you need to people-centric, values-based and heart-centered. That’s why Kimberly enjoys working with leaders at all levels of their career, from emerging leaders to senior CEOs.
“When you get into a leadership role you realize you're setting the vision,” says Kimberly. “Your role as the leader should be to set the expectations from day one, explain what accountability looks like and lead from there.”
Kimberly says one of the challenges is that the compassion and heart of leadership has gone by the wayside.
“I've seen leaders put into a position of leadership because of their years of experience and knowledge, but they didn't have the people skills,” says Kimberly. “As a result, leaders have shied away from investing in their team as people. Success is adding value to yourself. Significance is when you add value to others—that’s a leadership legacy.”

Phoenix, AZ – Dr. Celeste-Linguere Johnston is an Industrial/Organizational Psychologist, certified executive coach and a master of Physiognomics, a user friendly system for evaluating trustworthiness and other traits.
Physiognomics is the art of discovering temperament and character from outward appearances. It is about how human behavior and personality characteristics are reflected in the body and how they can be interpreted.
Dr. Johnston has broken each body type down into a simple geometric program using basic shapes: squares, circles, oblongs, triangles, and superimposing them on the body.
Each of these models––Thoracic, Abdominal, Cerebral, Osseous, Muscular––corresponds to behavioral and personality characteristics:
According to Dr. Johnston, Physiognomics can be used as a non-profiling tool for law enforcement and counterterrorism to discern deception and untrustworthiness. Through her company, Pappillon Strategies, Dr. Johnston offers Physiognomics training to federal, state and local government agencies, businesses, law firms, and anyone who needs to read people more carefully rather than relying on implicit biases, assumptions, stereotypes and micro-aggressive affections or tendencies.

“Physiognomics is non-profiling because you're looking at shapes, not race or gender,” explains Dr. Johnston. “It doesn't matter who they are. We are looking at all parts of how a person is presenting themself. If people are behaving suspiciously, aggressively or erratically, they will take on one of these forms.”

Vero Beach, FL – Life isn't a dress rehearsal. Life is the show.
No matter what we want in life, whether it’s love, success, passion, fulfillment, we already have what we need to achieve it. Sometimes, we just need support to quiet our critical inner voice and tap into our potential.
Margo Montgomery is a life coach who guides people to become the best version of who they can be by growing their capacity for joy.
“I help my clients see the limiting beliefs that hold them back from their potential: the life they want, the relationships they are searching for and the dreams they hope to fulfill,” says Margo. “I support people to not just survive but thrive.”
Margo helps her clients understand the limiting beliefs that block us from our true nature, which is love. According to Margo, expanding our capacity for joy is determined by our ability to give and receive love.
“When I talk about love, I'm talking about all the forms of love: generosity, wisdom, kindness, compassion and gratitude, forgiveness and healthy boundaries,” says Margo. “Too often we get caught up in our personas and we lose ourselves. I try to take people back to their true essence, with no judgments, criticisms or beliefs about the future.”
Margo worked in the corporate world in human resources for many years when a messy divorce led her to question who she was down deep.
“I was always trying to make everybody else happy and lost myself,” says Margo. “Now joy is integrated into my being. I am so proud that I have found my purpose in life and I'm living it.

Santa Rosa, CA – Grace Garneau is the founder of Crystal Fire Reiki, where she helps clients heal themselves by developing an awareness of energy and tapping into their life force.
Grace’s clients typically come to her in some distress, whether it's a physical illness or emotional challenge. She says the goal in a session is to identify the root cause of the issue and to shift the habitual patterns in the energy field that are causing it.
“Our session will highlight whatever changes need to happen so my client can let go of what's not serving them so that healing can take place,” says Grace.
Grace uses a combination of Barbara Brennan Healing Sciences and Holy Fire Reiki to balance the energy field for health and wholeness. She may also add vocal toning, crystals, or guided meditations to her sessions for a unique experience that induces deep relaxation and brings people back into balance so healing can naturally occur.
“The Barbara Brennan work taught me to perceive the chakra system: portals of energy throughout the body that govern different physical systems and psychological issues. Each chakra corresponds to different areas of existence,” explains Grace. “Reiki is an ancient system of healing that promotes relaxation and wellbeing and transmits healing energies. With Holy Fire Reiki, I transmit healing energies to different parts of the energy field for deep peace and rejuvenation. The two healing modalities blend together really beautifully.”
According to Grace, Reiki is actually something that anybody can learn and use. She teaches Reiki online and offers certification from the International Center for Reiki Training.

Chesapeake, VA – Gene Shaw Coaching specializes in leadership development and executive coaching, primarily in the healthcare space.
“The definition of a strong leader is someone who knows themselves, a degree of self-understanding and an ability to accomplish objectives,” says Gene. “A strong leader is a people person. If you're only focusing on the technology or the finance or the marketing, and forgetting about the people component, you're missing a big part of what will make you successful.”
Prior to launching Gene Shaw Coaching, Gene was a registered nurse who transitioned into hospital administration to focus on the information technology aspects of healthcare.
As an administrator, Gene had the opportunity to work directly with leaders, department heads, emerging leaders and staff who wanted to become leaders, mentoring and developing these individuals to excel in their positions.
“I moved into that role with a deep understanding of how healthcare is to be delivered, so I was able to really contribute to those individuals’ careers,” recalls Gene. “I really enjoyed the opportunity to help those individuals figure out where they want to go, what they want to do, and how to get there. When I retired, I thought, ‘How can I continue doing this?’”
That was five years ago. Today, Gene is dedicated to assisting individuals to achieve personal fulfillment, professional growth, and business results through individual and organizational effectiveness. Together, Gene and his clients establish real specific objectives. These objectives not only the individual, but they also help measure success.

Virginia Beach, VA – Jessica Reid is a certified life coach, weight loss coach and founder of The Keto Fit, where she helps women lose weight with the Keto diet and a self-care mindset.
Jessica blends the practical with the personal, combining concrete strategies with custom meal plans and mindset coaching to reach your weight loss goals.
“I believe that Keto is a tool that can fit into anyone's life,” says Jessica.
According to Jessica, our body can be in one of two metabolic states: burning sugar and carbohydrates as our primary fuel source; or burning fat for fuel. Ketogenesis or ketosis is a metabolic state. When the body is deprived of sugar or carbohydrates, it switches to its backup fuel source, which is fat. Keto diets restrict carbohydrates so that the body burns fat.
Jessica knows firsthand where her clients are. She once packed on 40 lbs. in the course of a years. She just wanted to lose 10 lbs. as quickly as possible, so she turned to the Atkins Diet, and lost 10 lbs. within two weeks.
What she did not expect was how amazing she felt: she had so much more energy and mental clarity.
Convinced, she wanted to share it with others.
Jessica says she works exclusively with women because women face a unique journey: no matter how successful they are, limiting beliefs around food, weight, and body image can lead them to view themselves as a failure.
“You can’t magically flip the switch that turns your self-loathing to self-love,” says Jessica. “If we don't feel love towards ourselves, we can still treat ourselves with self-love and self-care, and those feelings will follow.”

Spring, TX – As parents, we truly want our kids to be happy, healthy, successful and confident.
But only when we have developed a healthy relationship with ourselves can we consciously parent our children.
Monica Gomiz is a bilingual life coach for parents and children and the founder of The Integrated Family, where she offers a holistic and conscious approach to help parents transform themselves and connect with their kids.
“I don't know anyone who doesn't want to have a healthy relationship with their child and be the best parent they can be,” says Monica. “So it’s about starting with that connection: helping the child feel seen, validated, understood and accepted just the way they are.”
Children make sense of the world through the lens of their parents, so parents must be aware and conscious of how children interpret their parents’ behavior and the way they interact with them.
“Every parent’s journey begins in their own childhood,” says Monica. “Parents will use with the same strategies and tools that their parents used with them. To raise whole, happy and confident children, parents must break dysfunctional family patterns and heal from their past.”
“As a Conscious (Parenting) Family coach, my work is about helping families break generational trauma,” says Monica. “Generation after generation, we're passing on our own trauma from our own childhood to our children without even realizing it. My job is to open parents’ eyes and help them see that there are other ways of raising their child.”
