About Jennifer Westcott
Hi I'm Jen. I am a therapist, artist, mother, wife, friend. I am a woman devoted and passionate to making therapists the best they can be, the most supported and human and kind to themselves. the reason I believe so strongly in this is through my own journey through healing and encountering both great and awful therapy! As the mental health field becomes more needed than ever, it's essential to support therapists as HUMANS. We already know how to get supervision, we already know how to get training, but there are not nearly enough places to talk about the human experience of being a therapist; how it affects us and how we affect it.
I grew up in an alcoholic, dysfunctional family that looked really good on the outside with professional parents and kids who were 'bright' and went far...but inside the family were secrets of incest and alcoholism. When I was 36 years old I suddenly remembered being sexually abused by my mother. I nearly went completely mad and definitely went quite mad. This started my journey to healing and sobriety and I continue to trudge daily. The help I needed took me to many therapists' couches, psychologist appointments, psychiatry appointments, alternative healing circles, and 12-step meetings. Through this inside experience, I became PASSIONAtE about what helps people and what doesn't. I changed my complete approach to being a therapist after being a client and NEEDING HELP and getting it, and not getting it. My job as a clinical supervisor and private therapist became an experiment in 'what helps' clients heal from trauma and addiction and I tried a LOT OF THINGS and still do! What I've learned for sure is this: therapists who are authentic, real, and human help clients profoundly. How then do I support therapists to KNOW their own stories and wounds and USE this knowledge to have a healing impact on their clients? How do I support therapists in breaking out of the mold they became trapped in during their graduate program and remembering the sacredness and marvel of human healing? Creating Therapist Sanctuary is my attempt to do this and to hold up therapists in the sacred and meaningful work they do. Also, shout out to my old mentor Stuart Smally from 90's SNL who 'was not an actual therapist but a member of many 12-step groups'. Stuart; I love you.
3 Top Tips
Permission for therapists to be more vulnerable, making them love what they do more
deny the culture of putting our 'best self forward', let's put our most wounded self forward too!
Therapists support and hold each other up better than any cheesy self-care method that doesn't even work and that we try doing alone in the bath.

My ROC Formula: slow down to Relax, Open up to vulnerability, and reach out for Connection
How we disconnect from our own experience or others is not our fault. Those coping mechanisms are survival strategies that have outlived their usefulness.
We have a growing epidemic of drug use, suicides, loneliness, and despair in part because men as they get older don’t have real friends. We have found easy and fun ways for men to develop some of the deepest friendships of their lives. We are not therapy, addiction recovery, or suicide prevention services, but we have several men come out and say, if it wasn’t for this work, they would have killed themselves. We have created a scalable way for men to help men.

Theodore A. Henderson MD, PhD is president and founder of Neuro-Luminance Inc, which is bringing revolutionary treatments to bear upon traumatic brain injury, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, post-COVID fatigue syndrome, and other brain disorders. He holds three patents and three patents-pending. Dr. Henderson is president of the International Society of Applied Neuroimaging. He has published in neuroimaging, psychopharmacology, dementia, photobiomodulation, and traumatic brain injury. He has over 70 publications in top research journals and has been cited in over 900 scientific papers. His recent book, Brighter Days Ahead is featured on Amazon. Dr. Henderson will help you rethink brain disorders like depression and brain injury and introduce you to exciting new treatments which actually activate the brain’s own healing process.
I am Dr. Theodore Henderson - psychiatrist. My work is focused on innovative treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders. These include ketamine infusion therapy (more on this below), multi-Watt infrared light therapy, antiviral therapy, and anti-inflammation therapy. My approaches shake up the foundations of what cause psychiatric illnesses. Gone are the chemical imbalance theories. It is infections, inflammation, and degenerative disease that cause most psychiatric conditions.
I recently published a book, Brighter Days Ahead: Leaving Depression Behind Through Innovative New Treatments. In it, I explore ketamine in some depth - but more as a model for how the brain responds to depression and PTSD.
I explore other innovative treatments, including multi-watt infrared light therapy (LUMIT) - which powerfully activates neuroplasticity. I would love to enlighten your audience to LUMIT as a new treatment approach. Literally, using light as a treatment. There is nothing purer than light.
LUMIT treatment is curing...yes, curing...Long COVID. Patients who could not climb a flight of stairs or think, who had to take a leave of absence from work, who tried many other treatments with no benefit - are now back to working, hiking, running, and living their life.
We have seen amazing improvement in PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), depression, and anxiety symptoms in our patients using LUMIT therapy, whether they are veterans, first-responders, or civilians. Also, I feel the role of viruses in depression, anxiety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological conditions is grossly underappreciated and ignored by Medicine.
3 top tips
- depression is not a chemical imbalance. It is degeneration of the brain. Fortunately, it is reversible.
- traumatic brain injury can be healed. As long as the brain cells are alive, they can be reinvigorated, reactivated, and repaired. Light is the treatment.
- Long COVID has a treatment. Light is the answer.

Born with a cleft lip and palate, Marcy's childhood was marked by an excruciating series of surgical procedures—23 in all before the age of 18. Because she looked and talked different than other kids, she was relentlessly teased and bullied. Her journey into adulthood was marked by challenging, traumatic, and downright tragic waypoints: coming out as a queer woman, involvement in a multiple-fatality car accident, and a devastating descent into addiction and chronic illness.
Though she got off to a rough start in life, Marcy has discovered one thing: that no matter what obstacles are in your path, Living Beyond Your Limits is not just a dream—it's infinitely possible.
She is a trauma survivor and chronic illness warrior 20+ years into my sobriety journey who shares tips and tools accumulated from a lifetime of work to help others live beyond their limits.

In Pat’s words:
My new book, Surviving Alex: A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Addiction (Rutgers University Press, May 2024). It would be useful to talk about my goals. And the two questions that drove my narrative: how to survive something trauma like this, and what might we have done differently? It's most useful to focus on what "we" more generally could do, beyond individual families.
I was a professor of sociology at Rutgers University when in 2015 my husband Chip and I suffered the tragic loss of our 25-year old son Alex from a heroin overdose. Then, and earlier during his active addiction, we were baffled and confused, not to mention heartbroken, by the insanity and chaos that turned our lives upside down and inside out. My training as a sociologist led me on a quest to better understand what happened to my family. Building on my professional and academic perspectives, I wrote a sociological memoir, Surviving Alex: A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Addiction, published in May 2024 by Rutgers University Press.
I spent much of my sociological career investigating systemic patterns of inequality by sex and race, focusing on how subtle mechanisms of inequity get reproduced. After Alex’s death, I realigned my research and advocacy interests, turning grief into activism. In Surviving Alex, I use the same skills to examine extant explanations and treatments for the ever-growing overdose epidemic and find them wanting. Weaving together the personal and the sociological, I learned about the broader set of factors implicated in mental health and substance use disorders. Instead of focusing on individual-level choice and brain disease arguments, I direct my attention to the larger social context in which those individual-level actions occur. Ultimately, I hope to inspire a moral community of action to realign public health policy to address the overdose crisis.
In Surviving Alex, I describe the two roads families travel in the carousel ride from hell that is addiction. The ideal road—what all parents want for their child—travels a straight line through an idyllic childhood, high school and college graduations, career success, a family of one’s own. A second road—one that parents dread—heads directly into the storms, depression, anxiety, mental health disorders, substance use, and in the worst case, death. These two paths are not at opposite ends of the same continuum, but rather roads that run parallel to one other, and frequently intersect. I describe how Alex walked each of these roads, veering toward happiness, success, and sanity at some points in his life, and toward anxiety, despair, and addiction at others. I make clear that “good families” travel both these roads, arguing that addiction happens to people from “good families.” Indeed, as I underscore, addiction can happen to anyone.
I integrate existing research and writing on addiction with the information I gathered over the years we lived with Alex’s mental health and substance use, and with the trauma associated with his death. I talked with important people in Alex’s life, including his friends, therapist, teachers, police officers, family members, and others who met him along the way. As Alex’s medical heir, I collected intake and medical information from the institutions in which he resided, providing a wealth of information from social workers, doctors, psychiatrists, rehab staff, and jailers to flesh out my personal narrative and interviews.
Ultimately, I imagine a world steeped in compassionate, paradigm-shifting harm reduction methods, as opposed to the punitive, choice-based approaches that currently exist. I champion more holistic approaches that value the humanity of those contending with substance use and mental health disorders, leading to more effective public and private policy strategies and reductions in the corrosive effects of stigma. We need to build stronger bridges from the harm reduction policy world to the lives of families facing addiction, meeting those who use substances where they are. There is substantially more to the explanation of the overdose crisis than bad choices made by those in the throes of addiction. Understanding the larger, systemic picture is key to understanding how to fix the problem, and the kinds of roles that government and private partnerships can play in developing solutions.
3 Top Tips
1) Move beyond conventional explanations to combat addiction, focusing on health-based as opposed to punitive, criminal justice approaches.
2) Implement harm reduction strategies to produce holistic, compassionate approaches to addiction.
3) Promote multiple paths to recovery and reform ineffectual treatment systems by introducing medicines for substance use.

1. The addiction is always a solution to a deeper problem. If you address the root, it's much easier to stop the addiction.
2. Understand the 6 human needs. We call have the same 6 human needs and your addiction is meeting at least one (or more). Identifying which needs it meets helps to make the changes necessary to prevent relapse.
3. Leverage. Instead of waiting on the universe to give you leverage (overdose, loss of job, family troubles) there is a way to facilitate leverage by utilizing the concept of pain and pleasure.

Helen Sernett, founder, and host of the Sleep Lists podcast, was a non-profit fundraiser at the end of her rope struggling with a long list of medical issues.
Underlying all of it was the fact that she could no longer get herself to sleep. With Sleep Lists she serves up bedtime dreams every episode by reciting a lulling list of similar items.
Lately, she’s more well rested and less on edge. She records voice over work and speaks at events about her experience with resilience and the power of neuroplasticity.
Helen enjoys family time, cooking from scratch, and cosying up with a good book or movie.
In Helen's words:
I felt like I was going crazy. I felt frazzled, stressed, and burnt out as a non-profit fundraiser. At the same time, I felt an enormous sense of apathy. It snuffed out not just my desire to work but all my passions. I was the proverbial ship lost at sea. I made it back to shore when I took control of my sleep.
Regaining control of my sleep schedule and getting good rest improved both my mental and physical health. Sleep was the lynchpin in a host of medical issues I had been navigating (and some I still am figuring out). If you have never given thought to your sleep you are a very fortunate person. Those of us who have lost our way and face insomnia are adrift—lonely, scared, and in need of help, tools, and time to heal. I provide insights into what it's like and how I found my way back to shore.
Now that I’ve found my way, I help others do the same. And if you’re one of the lucky ones, I want to make sure you never get lost in the first place. Women, middle aged people, non-profit workers, parents, caregivers, anyone with chronic illness, anyone who has ever felt burnt out in their career, and people who have big hearts tend to resonate with me and my story.
I embodied the expression of, "Work hard and sleep when you're dead." Now I fight against that culture of constant movement because I know the damage it does. If you want the secret to navigating change, being an adaptable person, finding a good mood, and gaining better health, it's simple (but that doesn't mean it's always easy): sleep. I talk about how I help myself and others get it and why it's so critical for brain, body, and spirit.
3 Top Tips
Treat sleep like your life depends on it, because it does.
If getting to sleep is tough, I have a tool that works really well.
Do your best to maintain a regular sleep schedule to help your body and mind.

My name is Carolyn Sophia Skowron. I am someone who has always felt like an outsider. From a young age I struggled making friends, fitting in and being my true authentic self. I grew up feeling like I never fit in and never was good enough. I spent most of my life internalizing every situation. I always thought people didn’t like me. What I failed to realize was that part of why I internalize so much is because I have something called Nonverbal Learning Disability or NVLD. I was diagnosed with this in my sophomore year of high school and started to get answers, but I still struggled with depression and anxiety.
All of the things I have lived through and conquered have built me into who I am today. For the longest time, my building blocks were depression, anxiety, self doubt, and self hatred. After fully buying into therapy and mindfulness my building blocks are now filled with resilience, strength, adaptability, and positivity. Everyone has their own building blocks as to what makes them themselves. Being self aware and knowing your building blocks is crucial when trying to build a happy and healthy life.
I love to help other people feel less alone and give inspiration to others that hope is real and that you can overcome mental health struggles and get through anything. I published my first book 'unbreakable' in 2021 because I am so passionate about helping others feel less alone and I want to help end the stigma around mental health. I have struggled a lot with depression and anxiety in my own life that I want others to know they are not alone and that with the right healthy coping mechanisms they can get through anything. I also am a public speaker because I believe my mission in life is to use my voice to give the voiceless hope.

In this deeply profound episode, Richard Kraft, a devoted healthcare professional, bravely shares his harrowing journey from identity crisis, triggered by job loss during the COVID pandemic, to redemption and self-awareness. Richard talks about his roles in the healthcare industry, his inherent desire to help others, and how all these formed an integral part of his sense of self. But the sudden job loss forced him to reevaluate his tied up identity, leading him to a path of self-discovery and rebuilding.
An authentic and vulnerable discussion divulges Richard's struggle with negative emotions and alcohol dependence, further complicating his life post-job loss. Despite initial frustrations, he finds wisdom - every door closed points to new opportunities waiting to be seized. This realization allows him to develop a fresh perspective and a new approach to separate his identity from his profession.
This powerful episode also zeroes in on Richard's personal battle against addiction. The speaker gives an in-depth view into the blurry whirlwind of dependency on kratom and alcohol, both acting as pacifiers for withdrawal symptoms. He further delves into the journey of acceptance and the importance of voicing out one's experiences, acknowledging their past wrongdoings and striving to make amends.
The conversation doesn't shy away from the impacts of addiction on parenting, relationships, and personal introspection, ensuring listeners get an elaborate perspective on the dilemmas of addiction and recovery. Emphasizing the importance of effective communication and setting clear expectations, Richard's narrative aims to strengthen relationships and mutual understanding during the path to recovery.
Finally, Richard shares a range of tools and mechanisms that aided in his recovery process, from listening to podcasts and journaling to physical activities and seeking professional guidance. Highlighting the value of understanding self-needs, witnessing personal growth, and the need for patience and self-compassion during this process, this episode draws to a close with an important and inspiring note.
This episode is a compelling testament to human resilience and the transformative power of taking accountability and is a must-listen for anyone on a journey of self-improvement and personal growth.

Having been diagnosed with bipolar in 1998, Michelle Reittinger spent the next 12 years on a roller coaster of manic and depressive episodes with therapists, doctors, psychotropic meds, hospitalizations, and suicide attempts. She was at her wit's end and felt humiliated, hopeless and lost. In particular, she was devastated by the toll it took on her family-her husband and small children.
Finally, she and her psychiatrist found a solution that became a turning point in her story. She began the process of developing an integrated method for understanding this devastating disorder and successfully treating it.
Michelle advocates for a radical shift in the treatment of bipolar to facilitate healing and recovery. She is all about accepting responsibility for yourself and overcoming the victimhood mentality that so often accompanies bipolar disorder. She teaches an integrated, research-based treatment model that addresses the underlying causes of bipolar symptoms and allows people to heal.
3 Top Tips
Our current treatment model for treating bipolar (and mental illness in general) is a disease-centered model and is keeping people sick.
Bipolar disorder does not need to be a life-sentence. It is possible to heal if you identify the cause of your symptoms and apply a research-based, integrated treatment plan.
You can choose to manage and cope with your bipolar symptoms, or you can choose to recover and heal. The choice is yours; you don't have to be a victim for the rest of your life.

Gabrielle Bovard is a storyteller, advocate for authenticity, and the author of the upcoming memoir, "Waiting Room." She’s also the founder of the nationally recognized movement, Random Note Project, which she started when she was just 14 years old.
After a major diagnosis and an unexpected breakup, Gabrielle needed mental health care. Instead of being met with compassion and urgency, she was told that the next available mental health professional was eight hours away and their next opening was in five months. She couldn’t wait that long, so she packed up her car and traveled around the United States asking strangers one question: “How do you cope without access to care?”
With her unique blend of vulnerability and wisdom, Gabrielle empowers audiences to embrace authenticity, foster meaningful connections, and begin to heal.

In Tracey’s words:
I've been on a healing journey for 25 years and it was just last year that the final puzzle piece fell into place. As someone who has been in and out of therapy for over 2 decades, I was shocked by the realization that my whole life, my whole adult self and all my relationships, had been impacted by the reality of my childhood. Most of us believe that we cannot have experienced trauma if our childhood doesn't tick traditional boxes: sexual or physical abuse, poverty, incarcerated parent. But I can tell you, for sure, that waking up to the toll my conditioning took on me and thereby the people I love most has changed everything.
And, my daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder and depression when she was thirteen. She's 25 now and fully supports me in talking about our experiences. Her mental health diagnoses, along with my own inheritance, is the subject of my forthcoming memoir: Bloodlines: A Memoir of Harm and Healing. I'm passionate about dispelling the myths around mental illness, mental health, and healing. Accepting the fact that I could not control the trajectory of my daughter's illness was extremely painful, but it was necessary for me to wake up to the need for me to do my own work. The means to the end of supporting and loving her the healthiest ways I could.

What happened to us was not our fault, but breaking the chain of transmission is our responsibility. Compassion grows through awareness.
We—those living with inherited trauma—are not broken. By transforming our challenges into choices, we reclaim our agency. We foster resilience, empowerment, and unity—and show our children how to do the same.

An avid reader and student of science, philosophy, and religion, Hosein draws on a depth of understanding from medical science, neuroscience, Buddhism, Judeo-Christian teachings, and ancient philosophy. Break Through connects the medical and spiritual realms to help readers unlock health and well-being and awaken their higher self, opening the doors to new possibilities and experiences.
Hosein is also the author of two novels, Extinction 6 and Project Bodi: Awaken the Power of Insight, that explore how mindfulness cultivates insights and scientific innovation. He lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and children.

For many people, addiction is driven by a rewired brain where there is little conscious control over decisions.
The first step in the healing process is INTENTION--the decision to want a happier, healthier life.
The other steps in the process--surrender, insight, and the journey--are at the heart of both religious and non-religious based healing practices. These steps are also backed by emerging scientific studies into the nature of the mind.

In the words of Rachelle Davis:
From the earliest days of my life, I've been drawn to the healing power of nature. The rustling leaves, the scent of blooming flowers, and the gentle touch of sunlight—all whispered secrets of well-being. Little did I know that this fascination would lead me on a transformative path, shaping not only my own destiny but also the lives of countless others.
In 2012, I embarked on an overseas adventure as a Government contractor. My mission was clear: contribute to a cause greater than myself. Amidst the bustling streets and unfamiliar landscapes, I discovered a deeper purpose—an unyielding desire to promote holistic health. It was during those long nights, working tirelessly, that I sensed the first whispers of fatigue creeping in.
Back Stateside in 2013, I decided to formalize my passion. I pursued certification as a Holistic Health Coach. Armed with knowledge about nutrition, mindfulness, and the interconnectedness of mind and body, I felt empowered. Little did I know that this certification would become the cornerstone of my life's work.
The next six months were a tempest of stress. My supervisor's harsh words echoed in my mind, and the relentless night shifts drained my energy. Sleep became elusive, and my body rebelled. It was then that I faced a life-altering revelation: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) had taken hold of me.
I made a solemn promise—to myself and to others who felt invisible and unheard. Armed with determination, I embarked on a quest for healing. My regimen became my laboratory, and I experimented relentlessly. I researched, consulted experts, and listened to my body's whispers. Slowly, I pieced together the puzzle.
Out of this struggle emerged The 4 Core Blueprint. It's not just a program; it's a lifeline. Let me share its essence:
Autonomic Balance: We delve into the delicate dance of the autonomic nervous system. Restoring harmony becomes our mission.
Exercise Resilience: Tailored exercise strategies—gentle yet powerful—guide you toward vitality. Your heart and lungs respond, and fatigue retreats.
Brain Empowerment: The brain, our conductor, holds the key. We unlock the temporoparietal junction—the epicenter of fatigue decisions. Clarity dawns.
Immune Harmony: B cells, guardians of immunity, find their rhythm. Our approach adapts to each unique soul.
Rachelle Davis' interview proves that you can conquer chronic fatigue syndrome and not just reclaim your life but live it to the fullest.
The 4 Core Blueprint isn't just a course; it's a community. We gather, share stories, and lift each other. We see the unseen, hear the unheard, and ignite hope. Together, we reclaim vitality.

Nico Morales was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was an athlete, opiate user, and over drank alcohol. Now is an author, graduate, and business owner. Nico had adverse childhood experiences that he repressed, this mental unrest led to an exploration of substances, eventually propelling him into opiate use disorder. By twenty-two, Nico was living out of his truck and spent most of his time finding odd, sometimes illegal ways to make money to support his drug habit. After seeing others close to him pass from overdoses and recounting the times he came near death he recognized there was a reason he was still living. He put down the needle and unfortunately he picked up a bottle. The cycle of addiction repeated itself and because of the extent of Nico’s over drinking he found himself staying in a building with no utilities. After exploring different counseling techniques that were not successful Nico turned to an alternative method for care, personal development. He now uses his life experience to inspire, coach and train others to find their purpose, push through the difficult moments and remind them no one was created to be perfect.

Kurt Schmidt's life story reads like an epic narrative of resilience, hope, and transformation. From his early days as a culinary school graduate to becoming a pivotal figure in the mental health community, Kurt's journey is a testament to the power of change and the human spirit's capacity to overcome.
Kurt's academic journey began at Purdue University, where he earned a bachelor's degree, laying the groundwork for a diverse professional path that would span the restaurant industry, corporate food service, supply chain, and technology sectors. However, beneath the surface of these achievements, Kurt was waging a personal battle with substance use that would shape the course of his life.
At the young age of 22, Kurt faced his first inpatient treatment following multiple attempts at detox, marking the beginning of a tumultuous struggle with addiction. Despite these challenges, he managed to carve out a semblance of professional success, a testament to his innate resilience and determination. Yet, the specter of addiction loomed large, leading to multiple treatments throughout his twenties. The stark warnings from health professionals—that he would not survive if he continued to drink—were a wake-up call. Kurt's health crises, including a fatty liver diagnosis and multiple seizures due to withdrawal, underscored the dire consequences of his path.
But Kurt's story is not one of despair, but rather of profound transformation. It's a narrative that underscores the possibility of recovery, even from the depths of addiction. His journey to sobriety is punctuated by personal milestones and professional achievements, including his roles as a Certified Peer Support Specialist and Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), equipped with an MSW from Missouri State University and an MBA from Webster University.
The creation of The Peer Network was a pivotal moment in Kurt's life, born from his experiences and the realization of the need for equitable opportunities and recognition for peer support specialists. His platform reflects a deep commitment to changing the narrative around mental health and substance use, offering hope and support to those navigating similar paths.
Kurt's personal life, as a devoted husband to Melinda and a loving father to two daughters, reinforces the narrative of recovery and the importance of support systems in the journey towards healing. Melinda's unwavering presence through Kurt's struggles and triumphs highlights the crucial role of partnership and family in overcoming adversity.
Kurt Schmidt's story, marked by setbacks and victories, serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing the challenges of addiction and recovery. It reminds us that change is possible, that recovery is within reach, and that every individual has the potential for renewal and transformation. His life is a powerful testimony to the resilience of the human spirit, inspiring others to believe in the possibility of a brighter, healthier future. This interview highlights the power of thepeernetwork.com as a means of transforming mental health and substance use recovery.

In Neal's words:
I lost 8 years of my life because of poor financial decisions that lead to a mountain of debt. These poor financial decisions were a result of my immature grandiosity and poor daily habits.
At the same time I found myself divorced and completely out of shape.
Every problem under the Sun has the same singular source - conflict or flaws within the mind.
My mess was a result of flawed character.
I eventually surmounted these challenges and resolved my internal division by unifying my mind and body - by bridging the gap between the conscious and the subconscious to yield the Ultraconscious.
The Ultraconscious is the unborn entity with - our highest and best self that we are all being called to become - letting go of our ego control and allowing the source to flow through us.
My job is to help people uncover their true individuality and strength; to become free in spirit no matter what the physical circumstances may be.
The best path is a fusion of form and intellect, skill and substance.
The process of cultivating genius is simple but not easy. Hybrid mastery entails nurturing your mind and your body so that you may clearly access the source – this is how you become a Unified Man.
A Unified Man is clear.
A Unified Man is strong.
A Unified Man is in control.
A Unified Man rules his internal territory – he has built a Nation from Within.
Lisa Jara is a Menstrual Health Agent (of Change), a Womb Whisperer and Soul Midwife, helping women and menstruating folks to holistically address the deeper causes of menstrual health challenges like PMS/PMDD, painful periods, endometriosis, PCOS or perimenopausal challenges, so they no longer dread "that time of the month", but have a happy, healthy period, navigating challenging life transitions with unshakable trust in themselves and their body. She leads a Quiet, yet powerful Revolution for sacred rebels who are ready to radically trust and follow their own body's wisdom, releasing trauma and internalised shame, and eroding patriarchy from the inside out.
In her own words:
I’m Lisa from Germany and my pronouns are she/her. As a person I’m both a straight-forward, energetic powerhouse as much as a sensitive soul who enjoys holding space for people. Yet, I’ve also been conditioned, as a lot of people have, that the expert on me lies somewhere outside, that my perception of the world or situations is wrong and that I have to go looking for validation, approval and happiness “out there”, from someone else. Afraid to do anything wrong, I took on rule after rule, becoming more and more rigid, to the point where my life seemed like an endless chain of tasks, bleak and meaningless. A fight I had to struggle through day after day. Until I decided to get help, started my healing journey and got back in touch with my emotions, which I had suppressed for so many years. After this mental health crisis, I decided I didn’t want any other woman to feel that powerless and empty ever again and dedicated my life to guiding women back home to themselves, body, heart, mind and soul.

“If you really want to heal and succeed in your life you have to Let Yourself Off the Hook!
Stop trying to solve your problems, achieve your goals and manage your life through force and struggle. This only keeps you stuck.
Instead, realise that your problems aren’t your fault. They’re simply the result of using your brain the wrong way.”
This is the message of Liam Naden, a transformative teacher, speaker, and author who helps successful people overcome their negative limitations and find fast and practical solutions to their problems. He guides them in resetting their brain and thinking creatively instead of getting stuck in their fear-based fight-or-flight mode.
Using a unique science-based method to reset and realign the brain, Liam shows you how to unlock your natural creativity and problem-solving ability,
enabling you to discover and live a truly rewarding and fulfilling life.
Liam’s own journey has taken him from the successes of being a serial entrepreneur as owner of more than 18 businesses and multi-millionaire - to losing everything and becoming homeless in his mid 40s. It was only as he rebuilt his life and wealth in a much more satisfying way that he realised the missing link to true success: the correct functioning of the human brain.
He is now the host of the Let Yourself Off the Hook podcast, a best-selling author and creator of Brain Rebalancing - a process which gets the four parts of the brain working they way they should - and bringing you the success you should have.
Through his coaching programs and guest appearances he now teaches individuals from around the world to understand that there’s a more natural way to solve problems in all areas of life. It aligns with the brain’s ability to find creative solutions to challenges rather than attempting to fight against them. When you adopt
this mindset, you achieve true and lasting success much more quickly and without the limitations of struggle and stress.
As Liam will show you, “True success only happens when you give up the struggle and Let Yourself Off the Hook!”.

At the age of 13, he fell into the treacherous world of drugs and alcohol. For years, he prioritized the fleeting pleasures of a party lifestyle over meaningful connections and self-responsibility.

After a humble and often tumultuous beginning to his life, Daryl Dittmer has worked relentlessly on himself for almost 40 years.
Having hailed from a blue-collar family and upbringing, work-ethic was instilled early and often. Daryl was put to work as a farm hand at an early age, at $1.50 per hour, and learned the immense value of hard work and long days.
Since those days, Daryl has been a carpenter, sales professional, business owner, builder, landlord, real estate investor, and consultant. Now, we’re able to add “author” to that list.
Daryl feels very fortunate to have had mentors assist him with his life’s journey and wants nothing more than to pass on what was so graciously given to him. He considers it an honor to be in a position to do that.
Having had ownership in several business ventures, Daryl has been as retired as he's wanted to be since the age of 48. Now he is focused on writing and telling his story, in order to give back.
3 Top Tips
1. That you can end up very far from where you start in this lifetime.
2. That honesty with ourselves, humility, and faith can move and sustain us through any challenge.
3. That life is meant to be a fantastic journey, to be explored, experienced, written, and if necessary, re-written.

My job is to help people uncover their true individuality and strength; to become free in spirit no matter what the physical circumstances may be.
The best path is a fusion of form and intellect, skill and substance.
The process of cultivating genius is simple but not easy. Hybrid mastery entails nurturing your mind and your body so that you may clearly access the source – this is how you become a Unified Man.
A Unified Man is clear.
A Unified Man is strong.
A Unified Man is in control.
A Unified Man rules his internal territory – he has built a Nation from Within.
3 Top Tips
1. You already have everything you need - you just don't know how to access it.
2. All of the answers are within - you just need someone from without to show you them.
3. Matter over Mind - The only way to truly affect the mind is through the body.

Linn Rivers is a functional health and wellness expert and educator. She teaches people all over the world how to take their health—mind, body, and spirit — into their own hands.
She has over 15 years of education in the holistic health field and assists people in overcoming chronic health conditions and mental disorders.
Her educational background includes Holistic/Functional Medicine, Microbiome Therapy, Spiritual Counseling, Eastern and Western Massage Therapy, Neurolinguistic Programming, Yoga Therapy, Life Coaching, Death Doula, Hypnosis, and Human Design Analysis.
While her educational background is impressive, her own journey really sets her apart. She is able to connect with people on a wide range of traumatic events that she had to overcome by herself, such as: the death of all family members and partner, abandonment, neglect, sexuality, growing up with an alcoholic, relationship trauma, homelessness, career challenges, lack of direction, feelings of hopelessness, identity, anger and fear, addiction, illness, and near-death experiences.
I am immensely passionate about helping people uncover the root cause of mental illness and chronic health conditions. It has been through my own drawn out healing process, research, education and clients that I have deeply understood the connection to food and our mental health, yet I take it so much deeper than anyone is currently going. For example, did you know that Salicylates in plants ( a neurotoxin) is directly linked to Autism, depression, agression, tinnitus and many other health conditions if you do not have a healthy microbiome to properly eliminate them from the body? There is so much more to this and so much more about why we are not well in this day and age. I was depressed the majority of my teens and 20's and did not want to be here for a long time. I was an aggressive child and it carried on until I was an adult and started uncovering the truth about it all. Did you also know that there is a specific bacteria in the gut that can cross the gut/brain barrier that triggers alcoholism? So many things. I am an ope book and happy to talk about anything including my own journey to healing

Robert Wolf, M.D., grew up as the only child of Ervin and Judit Wolf. Their stories of their escape from communist Hungary, and his father's tragic history of escaping the Nazis twice but having his own parents deported to Auschwitz, inspired Robert to document his parents' tales and share those stories with Jewish groups and others throughout the United States. In "Not a Real Enemy", Robert shares his family saga and the forgotten history of the nearly half million Hungarian Jews who were deported and killed during the Holocaust through an epic and inspiring tale of daring escapes, terrifying oppression, tragedy, and triumph. Robert Wolf is featured in national media and TV, including ABC TV, NBC TV, FOX TV, CBS TV and more.

In Lolita's words:
When I arrived in the US two decades ago, fueled by the ambition to build my American dream, I believed in the limitless possibilities. Juggling fifty-hour work weeks, I eagerly took on projects and additional responsibilities to prove my capability. Fearful of saying no to coworkers, I found myself overworked, eventually succumbing to burnout. My exercise routine consisted of brief breaks away from my desk, while my diet relied on unhealthy office snacks. One pivotal mistake, born from burnout and workaholism, forced me to reevaluate my lifestyle. A collapse on my kitchen floor led to a simple diagnosis: stress. Seeking natural stress management solutions, I embraced improved time management, learned to decline additional burdens, adopted a healthier diet, and incorporated exercise. However, despite these positive changes, I felt that something essential was missing. The missing piece revealed itself when I stumbled upon a business book authored by someone who identified as an adult child of an alcoholic. It struck a chord because my own father struggled with alcoholism. This realization illuminated the profound impact it had on my stress management strategies compared to those from more stable backgrounds. I understood that while well-known techniques like meditation and yoga provided relief, addressing the underlying childhood trauma wound was crucial. The capacity to manage stress not only influences our behavior in the workplace but also shapes our friendships, intimate relationships, overall outlook on life, and the pursuit of goals Armed with the knowledge of healing and navigating stress, I am now fervently dedicated to helping others do the same.

Hello, I'm Erik Scott, a Systems Engineer with 21 years of experience in designing supercomputers. Beyond my professional life, I'm a dedicated JuJitsu practitioner and a former CrossFit competition judge. My fitness journey spans 28 years, exploring various modalities and even participating in endurance-based events like GORUCK Rucking.
One significant turn in my journey was battling five years of severe back pain, leading me to explore MSC Stem Cell treatment in Colombia, resulting in a remarkable transformation. Today, I'm not only a proud newlywed but also a committed advocate for health and fitness, having shed 20 pounds in just a month and a half.
As a new father and husband, my life has taken on new dimensions, and I bring a unique perspective to discussions about balancing a demanding career, maintaining physical and mental well-being, and navigating transformative life experiences. I believe in the power of discipline and positive habits, lessons learned through personal challenges and triumphs. I'm excited to share my story and insights on podcasts, bringing a blend of professional expertise, personal journey, and the joys and challenges of being a new father and husband to your audience.
Hero’s Journey:
“My journey took a significant turn when I faced the relentless challenge of extreme back pain for over five years. This pain, compounded by my rigorous fitness routines, left me with no positive results from medical teams in the United States. One year ago, driven by detailed research, I made the courageous decision to seek MSC Stem Cell treatment for issues including L2-L5 disc herniations, L1-L2 and L3-L4 bulging discs, and L3-L4 canal stenosis. This choice was met with scepticism from medical professionals, friends, and family, as it involved travelling to Colombia for treatment.Fast forward one year, and the transformation is undeniable. A ‘before and after’ MRI comparison revealed increased hydration in the herniated disks, the absence of bulging discs, and no signs of canal stenosis, all without inflammation in other areas. My unwavering commitment to health and fitness remained, especially as I embarked on a new chapter of my life, as a newlywed with a baby on the way. The realization that I needed to shed weight and embrace positive habits drove me to action. Fearful that I might not be able to lift my daughter off the ground, I sought the guidance of a mindset, nutrition, and fitness mentor, resulting in a remarkable 20-pound weight loss in just four months. I learned that the pain of discipline far outweighs any regret from neglecting my well-being.”

From desert combat zones to a battle within, John Lawyer transformed from soldier to spiritual seeker. He acts as one of several guides for Kishar, a non-profit online spiritual community. This community is a place for people to share their journeys and explore their own unique spiritual paths. John is an omnist and believes in the validity of most spiritual and religious beliefs around the world. He offers individual spiritual guidance and coaching services as part of the Kishar Spiritual Community.
In John's words:
It wasn't alcohol for me, it was war. I spent my adult youth at war. Twelve out of my first fifteen years of adulthood in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan. I was both traumatized without knowing and also a war addict. I couldn't leave and didn't know anything else. But eventually I was able to start healing and find my way. I ended up on a spiritual path, and now I help people help themselves. Find their wholeness inside. Their light. I believe we can use the crossroads of spirituality and lifestyle to live the best life for ourselves every single day. It's both esoteric and practical, just like the universe and world we live in. I am very much interested in how we discover our higher purpose/dharma and then align that with our day-to-day life. For me, this changed everything.

Through personal challenges and a lack of support from traditional western practitioners, Falyn struggled with various health concerns like digestive discomfort, insomnia, fatigue, hair loss, muscle soreness, an irregular cycle, and emotional eating. However, her journey led her to discover the transformative power of eastern modalities. Delving into Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, she gained profound insights that inspired her to become a certified Practitioner herself. Delving further into her well-being, Falyn found support and addressed difficulties related to sexual and childhood trauma, attachment, anxiety, iron dysregulation, and thyroid imbalances. Having experienced the frustration and loneliness of feeling like something was always missing, she now guides curious and driven health-minded women on a similar journey toward wholeness and vibrancy. Her approach is integrative and holistic, using functional lab testing, meditation, sonic healing, and somatic tools to help women reconnect with their inner power, vitality, and pleasure. Falyn embraces the motto "Heal Together, Rise Together."
3 Top Tips
1. support the WHOLE body instead of one part (ie. brain for mental health)
2. test don't guess (it's less stressful and gets you healing results faster)
3. know that vitality is your birthright, stay curious and keep moving toward it (symptoms are never the root cause)

After more than 3 decades as a veterinarian, exhaustion and burnout forced me to reconsider my future. I was overweight from a lifetime of soothing my emotional pain with food.
I found a Life Coach to learn how to get control of my emotional eating. What I actually happened was that I became a calmer, happier, less stressed-out person... and the weight loss happened all by itself.
I realized that Coaching changes lives. I saw my opportunity during the pandemic, and entered a coach training program. After completing my certification I discovered the Positive Intelligence program, which transformed my understanding of self-sabotage, and gave me the tools to change it.
Now, with years of training and decades of experience in a high-stress career, I’m on a mission to teach busy professionals how to live calmer, happier, and more stress-free lives. I especially want women to learn how to quiet the voice of their own self-judgment and rediscover the amazing person they were born to be.
Teaching others to meet life’s challenges with resilience and positivity is my mission and my inspiration.
3 Top Tips
The most life-changing skill that you can learn is to be nicer to yourself.
Emotional pain, fear of rejection, and fear of failure are the root of most self-sabotage
Most of us do not practice un-conditional self-love, and that is what causes so much of our stress

Kristof Morrow - Navy veteran, Journalist, and Author - Living and writing with a disability
I’m a veteran, author, and journalist that’s sold more than 1200 copies of my debut book, “The Second Sun,” after going viral on TikTok in June.
Growing up, I was the third born but the first to graduate high school. I was viciously abused by my parents. They both have suffered from some form of addiction.
I taught myself to write while serving in the US Navy as a Corpsman right after high school, and after leaving, I learned a University education wasn't for me, despite winning the highest award for short fiction and poetry at two different colleges in their annual creative writing contests.
While living in Louisiana, I was hired by a film director to help complete his script and got to work on a film set.
I became an EMT around the age of 23, then a 911 dispatcher at 26 before earning, by audition, a job at a newspaper. At this point, I was 27 years old and won awards from two Texas Press Associations for feature writing and photography. Amidst this time and in earlier years, I would exchange letters with Pulitzer Prize winning writer Robert Olen Butler.
My diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome led me literally to slapping, punching and clawing myself to success.

Dana S Diaz studied journalism and psychology at DePaul University. While there’s no better teacher than life experience and Dana has had life-long experiences with narcissistic abuse, her education did give her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims.
Today, Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. She strives to create awareness and understanding to ensure victims are given the support they need to first understand their situation and then begin the healing process. Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal that she hid under the couch cushion in the basement.

Dr Kapila has extensive experience in global and public health, international development, humanitarian affairs, conflict and security issues, human rights, diplomacy, and social entrepreneurship, with substantive leadership roles in government, United Nations system and multilateral agencies, International Red Cross and Red Crescent, civil society, and academia.
His work has taken him to some 120 countries in all continents. Originally schooled in India and England, Dr Kapila graduated in medicine from the University of Oxford and received postgraduate qualifications in public health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Since 2012, Dr Kapila has been the Professor (now Emeritus) of Global Health & Humanitarian Affairs at the University of Manchester, UK, where he also founded and chaired the Manchester Global Foundation. Since 2020, he is also Senior Adviser to the Parliamentary Assembly for the Mediterranean, the principal forum for 29 national parliaments of the Euro-Mediterranean region, deliberating on the creation of the best political, social, economic and cultural environment for fellow citizens of member states. He also serves as an adviser on several international bodies, including on the Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Antimicrobial Resistance for the World Health Organization.
After an initial clinical career (1980-1984) in hospitals and general practice in Cambridge, and then in public health (1984-1990), including initiating and leading the first National UK HIV/AIDS Programme, Dr Kapila joined what is now called the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in 1990 where he oversaw British aid health programmes in Asia and Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, followed by a spell based in Central and Southern Africa.
Dr Kapila was seconded by the UK Government to the United Nations in 2002-03, initially as Special Adviser to the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Afghanistan and then to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. He then became the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Co-ordinator for Sudan (2003-04), leading what was, at the time, the UN’s biggest operation in the world. In 2004, he arrived at the headquarters of the World Health Organization in Geneva as Director of Emergency Response, handling major operations such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami.
In 2006, he joined the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the world’s largest humanitarian and development network serving in different roles such as Special Representative of the Secretary General, Director of Policy and Planning, and finally as Undersecretary General where he oversaw several transformations and strategic interventions to scale-up programming.
Dr Kapila has also served in many policy advisory roles, conducted strategic reviews and formulated new programmes with several other international agencies such as the World Bank, UNAIDS, International Labour Organization, UN OCHA and ISDR, as well as served on the Boards of the UN Institute for Training and Research, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, and the International Peace Academy. He was an early member of the UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination System.
He returned to the United Nations in 2015-2016 to serve as Special Adviser for the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, and then in 2018-2019 to found and direct the innovative Defeat-NCD Partnership at the UN.
Additionally, he has been active in several civil society groups including chairing the Council of Minority Rights Group International, and chairing the Board of Nonviolent Peaceforce that was nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. He has initiated new initiatives on sexual and gender based violence and, as Special Representative of the Aegis Trust, on the prevention of genocide and other crimes against humanity. These came out of his personal experiences in witnessing, at first hand, the genocidal atrocities in Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Darfur.
Dr Kapila has been a public motivational and keynote speaker at numerous events including at TedX, and delivered in Nairobi in 2013, the memorial lecture in honour of Nobel Prize winning environmental activist Wangari Maathai.
He has written extensively and served on editorial boards of several publications such as Global Governance and the International Journal of Humanitarian Studies. His memoir “Against a Tide of Evil” was nominated for the 2013 Best Non-Fiction Book award by the Crime Writers Association. His latest book (2019) is entitled “No Stranger to Kindness”. Some of his other writings can be accessed on his website.

In Leslie's words:
Like you, perhaps, my story is my Gift. The abuse & neglect I experienced throughout childhood left me feeling so disconnected that, at the age of 16, I went into the world seeking connection & acceptance.
This led to a lifelong practice of giving others what I needed when I was 16 - to be seen, heard, and accepted for who I was.
For years now, I have had difficulty labelling what I do, resulting in others making transformational changes after having a deep conversation with me. The reason I couldn't label what I "do" is because the value I offer others is in "being", not doing".
Why this is so life-changing is twofold. The first is that Listening is a lost art in our society. The second reason is the "Illusion of the Armor" we wear. When someone like myself is vulnerable to being seen, it gives unwritten permission to others to be unapologetically seen. Many are seeing their authentic selves for the first time. This new and brighter view of themselves changes their view of others and the world. They now see possibility and choice where they previously saw hopelessness.
This isn't simply teaching people a skillset. The reason is the skillset has a prerequisite that the teacher of the skill MUST be able to remove the armour. My curriculum, the S.E.L.F.- Literacy Project, will transform systems and families because it teaches leaders, those who serve and those who are served the same information together.
Together, WE learn to feel safe with ourselves so we can gift others with the same.

She leads a Quiet, yet powerful Revolution for sacred rebels who are ready to radically trust and follow their own body's wisdom, releasing trauma and internalised shame, and eroding patriarchy from the inside out.
In her own words:
I’m Lisa from Germany and my pronouns are she/her. As a person I’m both a straight-forward, energetic powerhouse as much as a sensitive soul who enjoys holding space for people. Yet, I’ve also been conditioned, as a lot of people have, that the expert on me lies somewhere outside, that my perception of the world or situations is wrong and that I have to go looking for validation, approval and happiness “out there”, from someone else. Afraid to do anything wrong, I took on rule after rule, becoming more and more rigid, to the point where my life seemed like an endless chain of tasks, bleak and meaningless. A fight I had to struggle through day after day. Until I decided to get help, started my healing journey and got back in touch with my emotions, which I had suppressed for so many years. After this mental health crisis, I decided I didn’t want any other woman to feel that powerless and empty ever again and dedicated my life to guiding women back home to themselves, body, heart, mind and soul.

Today I have got the honor of talking to Dr. Mukesh Kapila about the Israel-Hamas war and the wider situation within the Middle East.
Dr Kapila has extensive experience in global and public health, international development, humanitarian affairs, conflict and security issues, human rights, diplomacy, and social entrepreneurship, with substantive leadership roles in government, United Nations system and multilateral agencies, International Red Cross and Red Crescent, civil society, and academia.
His work has taken him to some 120 countries in all continents. Originally schooled in India and England, Dr Kapila graduated in medicine from the University of Oxford and received postgraduate qualifications in public health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Since 2012, Dr Kapila has been the Professor (now Emeritus) of Global Health & Humanitarian Affairs at the University of Manchester, UK where he also founded and chaired the Manchester Global Foundation. Since 2020, he is also Senior Adviser to the Parliamentary Assembly for the Mediterranean, the principal forum for 29 national parliaments of the Euro-Mediterranean region deliberating on the creation of the best political, social, economic and cultural environment for fellow citizens of member states. He also serves as adviser on several international bodies including on the Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Antimicrobial Resistance for the World Health Organization.
After an initial clinical career (1980-1984) in hospitals and general practice in Cambridge, and then in public health (1984-1990) including initiating and leading the first National UK HIV/AIDS Programme, Dr Kapila joined what is now called the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in 1990 where he oversaw British aid health programmes in Asia and Pacific, Latin America and Caribbean, followed by a spell based in Central and Southern Africa.
Dr Kapila was seconded by the UK Government to the United Nations in 2002-03 initially as Special Adviser to the UN Special Representative of the Secretary General in Afghanistan and then to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. He then became the United Nations’ Resident and Humanitarian Co-ordinator for Sudan (2003-04) leading what was at the time, the UN’s biggest operation in the world. in 2004, he arrived at the headquarters of the World Health Organization in Geneva as Director for Emergency Response handling major operations such as for the Indian Ocean Tsunami.
In 2006, he joined the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the world’s largest humanitarian and development network serving in different roles such as Special Representative of the Secretary General, Director of Policy and Planning, and finally as Undersecretary General where he oversaw several transformations and strategic interventions to scale-up programming.
Dr Kapila has also served in many policy advisory roles, conducted strategic reviews and formulated new programmes with several other international agencies such as the World Bank, UNAIDS, International Labour Organization, UN OCHA and ISDR, as well as served on the Boards of the UN Institute for Training and Research, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, and the International Peace Academy. He was an early member of the UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination System.
He returned to the United Nations in 2015-2016 to serve as Special Adviser for the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, and then in 2018-2019 to found and direct the innovative Defeat-NCD Partnership at the UN.
Additionally, he has been active in several civil society groups including chairing the Council of Minority Rights Group International, and chairing the Board of Nonviolent Peaceforce that was nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. He has initiated new initiatives on sexual and gender based violence and, as Special Representative of the Aegis Trust, on the prevention of genocide and other crimes against humanity. These came out of his personal experiences in witnessing, at first hand, the genocidal atrocities in Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Darfur.
Dr Kapila has been a public motivational and keynote speaker at numerous events including at TedX, and delivered in Nairobi in 2013, the memorial lecture in honour of Nobel Prize winning environmental activist Wangari Maathai.
He has written extensively and served on editorial boards of several publications such as Global Governance and the International Journal of Humanitarian Studies. His memoir “Against a Tide of Evil” was nominated for the 2013 Best Non-Fiction Book award by the Crime Writers Association. His latest book (2019) is entitled “No Stranger to Kindness”. Some of his other writings can be accessed on his website.

Adrian Knight is an accomplished acquisition entrepreneur, adventurer, and endurance athlete.
Adrian buys and sells businesses for a living and has used his acquisition skills to build a multi-million children’s education group from the ground up in less than 3 years.
Adrian experienced a nervous breakdown at 19, which was shortly followed by alcoholism and other addictions. This led to almost a decade of him traveling the world in an attempt to run away from his inner demons. It was only when he started to be true to his authentic self and prioritized his personal development and well-being, that his life started to turn around.
This has led Adrian to experiencing fast business success while finding new aspects of himself, including that of an endurance athlete and adventurer. Subtraction of vices and going alcohol-free resulted in a true transformation.
In 2022, Adrian ran/cycled/kayaked across Scotland, then in March 23’ he participated in a multi-day endurance event in the Arctic Circle. In June 23’ he ran across Northern England and in November 23’ he is competing in the Spartan World Championships (in Sparta, Greece). In March 24’ Adrian is on a 14-day Jungle expedition across Panama.
3 Top Tips
1) Success is taking away the things that hold us back (like alcohol), rather than 'adding' new things
2) By prioristing you and your well-being above everything else, you inadvertently serve others
3) There are stages to going alcohol free, including pre-education, the lead-up, the first 30-days and beyond

Follower of Christ, Former Fortune 100 Executive, Recovering Alcoholic and Addict. The traumas of my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood shaped my belief systems of both myself and the world around me. I used my traumas to achieve success till my traumas used me to destroy my life and that of those I loved and served. Through a profound and reliable relationship with God, the deepest self-work, and the greatest act of self-love I have ever given myself, I have broken free from my self-imposed bondage and transformed into a free Phoenix. My purpose is to serve others in walking this path to redemption, liberation, and rebirth.

The author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul Zolman to speak about love? His childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning and the distaste it formed inside him, he searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped Paul Zolman move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love.
3 Top Tips
1. There's hope for breaking generational transfers that disrupt life.
2. There's good in you... and there's good in them... find them both by finding it in THEM.
3. Stop listening to the negative media and start watching for all that is good in the world. It's where you'll find happiness

From Pain to Purpose: How To Reclaim Your Life with Core Balance
Dr. Ryan Peebles, DPT, is not just a licensed physical therapist in California; he's a testament to the transformative power of resilience, determination, and knowledge. The creator of the Core Balance Training program, Dr. Ryan's journey began not in a clinic or classroom, but on the basketball court and the waves of California's beaches.
As a junior in high school, debilitating lower back pain robbed him of his passions: basketball and surfing. The pain persisted and intensified, casting a decade-long shadow over his life. Despite seeking help from numerous professionals and trying a myriad of treatments, from acupuncture to the Egoscue method, relief remained elusive. A chiropractor even grimly predicted a wheelchair-bound future by age 30.
However, a pivotal moment in 2010, while curled up in pain, marked a turning point. Dr. Ryan realized that his issues weren't isolated to his back; his entire body was out of balance. Determined to reclaim his life and return to surfing, he embarked on a relentless quest for knowledge. He identified muscle imbalances as the root cause of his chronic pain and began to develop a holistic approach to address it.
Seeking a deeper understanding, Dr. Ryan pursued a doctorate in physical therapy, graduating with 'High Honors' in 2015. His education, combined with his personal experience, allowed him to refine his approach. He recognized that the key to alleviating chronic pain lay in restoring the body's core balance.
Today, Dr. Ryan's Core Balance Training program has become a beacon of hope for thousands, helping them break free from the "back pain spiral." His journey from pain to purpose is not just about healing himself but empowering others to understand their bodies and reclaim their lives.
3 Top Tips
1. The Body's Interconnectedness: Discover how issues in one part of the body can impact other areas, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to pain and healing.
2. Navigating the Treatment Maze: Gain insights into the myriad of treatments available for chronic pain, their effectiveness, and how to discern which might be best suited for individual needs.
3. Empowerment through Knowledge: Learn the significance of understanding your body's unique needs and imbalances, and how this knowledge can be the first step in breaking free from the cycle of chronic pain and reclaiming an active, fulfilling life.

Matthew “Griff” Griffin is a former Special Operations Army Ranger, West Point Graduate, award-winning documentary producer, philanthropist, and co-founder and CEO of Combat Flip Flops – a fashion and lifestyle company that sells goods manufactured in conflict and post-conflict zones.
After serving four combat tours as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan and Iraq with the storied 2nd Ranger Battalion, Griffin departed the military in 2006 to create positive, sustainable change in conflict areas. With the skills learned in the military, he co-founded Combat Flip Flops, which uses their profits to aid the areas in which they are made – funding girls’ education, clearing land mines, and supporting veteran charities as a part of Griffin’s mission to encourage peace through trade and “business over bullets.” A powerful and emotional speaker, Griffin is known for a moving TEDx talk on the power of persistence, creativity, and respect, as well as for his successful appearance on the entrepreneurial television show Shark Tank, where he secured a deal with not only one but three “sharks” including Mark Cuban. Exclusively represented by Leading Authorities speakers bureau, Griffin is a firm believer that “anything worth doing is worth overdoing” and shares his inspiring and motivating story of chasing big goals and creating positive change with audiences globally. Griff is truly a man who proves you should never give up on your dreams!
A Graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point with a degree in Engineering Management, Griffin served in the 75th Ranger Regiment as a Rifle Company Fire Support Officer, with three tours to Afghanistan and one tour to Iraq. After leaving the Army, Griffin moved to the private sector as the director of military sales for Remote Medical International and the director of special operations for Protect the Force. There, he specialized in developing solutions for companies growing business in "difficult" locations, which led to the development of Combat Flip Flops. The company has operated in Afghanistan, Laos, and Colombia, helping local populations pull themselves out of poverty, and has funded education for more than 800 girls in Northern Afghanistan.
In addition to building a globally respected philanthropic brand, Griffin was a member of the first team to successfully ski off the tallest mountain in Iraq in the award-winning film, Adventure Not War: Ski Iraq. In 2019, he led and executive produced the film, Here Am I, Send Me, a Sundance recognized film that follows the trail of Griffin and fellow Rangers freefalling a Gold Star Mother into the opening ceremonies of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day.
In 2021, Griffin founded 46&2 Transitions, a non-profit organization focused on helping transitioning veterans overcome PTSD through holistic methodologies. He is currently leading a 2-year clinical study to prove the effectiveness of focused meditation and plant medicine to heal wounds sustained in combat.

Tina Davidson, a highly regarded American composer, creates music that stands out for its emotional depth and lyrical dignity. Lauded for her authentic voice, The New York Times has praised her “vivid ear for harmony and colors.” Opera News describes Tina Davidson’s music as, “transfigured beauty,” and the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that she writes “real music, with structure, mood, novelty and harmonic sophistication – with haunting melodies that grow out of complex, repetitive rhythms.” Tina Davidson’s music can be heard on Albany Records, CRI, Mikrokosmik, Callisto, and Opus One recording labels – most recently recorded by Hilary Hahn on Deutsche Grammophon. Her memoir, Let Your Heart Be Broken, Life and Music from a Classical Composer, is now available from Boyle & Dalton. Her memoir traces her extraordinary life in equally lyrical language, juxtaposing memories, journal entries, notes on compositions in progress, and insights into the life of an artist – and a mother – at work.
3 Top Tips 1. Let your heart be broken - all yourself to set into you grief, trauma Heartbreakingly, your heart breaks, & in the two halves, rocking on the table, is revealed rich earth. Moist, dark soil, ready for new life to begin. 2. Family/friends may resist you getting happy, sober - find new friends, support 3. It takes many things to heal - do therapy, AA, but also healthy eating, sleeping, friends, yoga, dancing, long baths and walks.

When Amanda finally managed to get away from the man who was trafficking her she was thirty-one years old and didn’t know what she’d gone through even had a name, much less how to deal with the pain of feeling like a broken person, unworthy of love and filled with so much anger. On a freezing cold day in 2018 she saw former trafficked people standing strong and showing their beautiful resiliency on a stage at an anti-trafficking event. At that moment she finally knew what her purpose in life would be. Since then, Amanda has spoken on a multitude of stages, been interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, sold her art all over the country, been a keynote speaker at international summits, loaned her voice to multiple radio programs, and published over a dozen books. She launched two podcasts - one that focuses on interviewing other authors of trauma, and the other that discusses the long term consequences of trauma and how to fight back for a better life. She's a trauma recovery mentor, professional artist, accomplished public speaker, and a charity campaigns manager for MMA legend Frank Shamrock through ShamrockWay.org
Amanda Blackwood is a prolific writer. Each of the books listed below have been published since 2018 with more on the way. The description of each book is listed under each cover image. All books are available in paperback and ebook versions. A limited few are currently available as audiobooks but that selection will continue to grow in the coming months.

3 Top Tips:
- Remove self-criticality and begin to see yourself through the same eyes as you see your friends with grace and compassion when things happen to them.
- What occurred to us does not need to be what holds us captive today and in our future. We can keep ourselves imprisoned from a life we desire by allowing the grief, guilt and anger of past trauma by being the driver of our life.
- You are worth more than you may believe, you do matter and yes, there is hope for you

Dave’s passion for firewalking began in 1995 after attending his first Tony Robbins Seminar. Though he initially resisted the idea of walking on coals exceeding 1000 degrees in temperature, after a little last-minute encouragement, he found himself celebrating at the other end of the fire lane, with a crewmember affirming, “You did it, you did it, you do it!” That was the exact life-changing moment that Dave’s love, passion, and fascination for firewalking was born.
Dave Albin is worlds #1 Firewalk Expert. He is very clear that with great wisdom comes great responsibility, and he takes his gift very seriously.

In Crystal's words: For my 41st birthday on October 2nd 2022 I published my first book called S.Y.L. Say You Love, a testimony of triumph over the darkness of childhood sexual trauma and addiction. I struggled with addiction in many forms from the early age of 13. I lived on the streets of Las Vegas Nevada until I started hitchhiking and hoping illegal freight trains all over America. I was on the Sally Jesse Rafael show for looking older than I was when I graduated my 5th-grade year. My early childhood sexual trauma along with being overly sexualized on national television conditioned me into believing that sex was my identity. I struggled with toxic relationships and had a skewed vision that love= sex. Codependency was another form of addiction for me. It took decades before I understood what self-love and healthy boundaries encompassed. My ability to say "No!" Had been taken from me without me ever realizing it. My biggest first step towards recovery was giving my inner child the voice she never had. The ability to say "No!" People, places, substances and events were a huge turning point in finding the life and love I had been searching for. I now share my story loudly and proudly so anyone sitting in silence knows they are not alone.

3 Top Tips: Addiction is often stigmatized, but it affects more individuals than is commonly acknowledged. Radical acceptance embraces the concept that life events occur, and by accepting them, one can experience a more fulfilling life. Establish a strong support network - the impact of another person's words and presence in our lives can be significantly underestimated. I have greatly benefited from incorporating DBT skills into my journey alongside the 12-step program. I highly recommend utilizing DBT to aid in the development of self-acceptance and emotional regulation for individuals facing addiction.

In Michelle's words:
I ran a multi-million dollar surgical practice from 2005 to 2020 and grew it to 5 surgeons. I was already burned out from many sleepless nights and the overall lack of empathy for doctors by corporate medicine. All the overnight call, lack of sleep, and generalized discontent with medicine led to severe overwhelm and burnout. My life as I knew it was no longer sustainable.
Then Covid hit. I walked away from my successful practice to recover from burnout and overwhelm. I discovered suffering is optional and it's possible to heal from burnout quickly with the right tools.
I initially focused on menopause in my podcast and business. While menopause was a serious disruption for me, as I developed curriculum around menopause, I realized I didn't care much about the condition, and I care a LOT more about personal transformation and behavior change.
Nico Lagan is an entrepreneur, men’s coach, Muay Thai instructor and host of the controversial podcast: The Nico Lagan Show. After spending more than 10 years in corporate sales, he decided to leave it all behind and follow his personal legend.
Nico grew up without the guidance of a strong masculine figure. It sent him on the search of a mentor. Not knowing what he was looking, he associated with and idolized the wrong men. His decisions has a teen to quit school and sale drugs lead him on the wrong path.
Nico uses his life experience as a high school dropout and former drug addict to show men that with the proper mindset everything is possible. His life purpose is to help young men become good men and good men become great men by following the path of their personal legends.
Nico just finished writing his first book entitled “Purpose: How following your personal legend is the answer to your midlife crisis.”. Aimed at men between the ages of 30 to 45 who already possess The 5 Virtues of a good man. Provider, protector, courage, temperance and faith. Now facing an existential crisis referred to by many as the midlife crisis, these men are realizing that they are one day going to die. Begging the question, is there something more than the daily grind? This book explains what this is all about and how the solution is to find purpose. Purpose is the antidote! Stay tuned for the official release.
Wasting no time, Nico has already started writing his second book "The 5 Virtues of a good man”. Aimed at men between the ages of 18 and 30, struggling with what it means to be a good man in a world where society wants us to believe that there is no difference between men and women. Most young men today are eternal teenagers that are in for a rude awakening as they come face to face with their 30s. Realizing that there must be more to life than partying, playing video games, chasing after their next sexual conquest and masturbating. This book is still being written but will be released soon!

The alcohol industry currently makes 1.8 trillion dollars annually and is projected to hit around 2.3 trillion by 2025. What most people think is that much of this alcohol is purchased by individuals who would be labeled as an alcoholic or someone with a problem. What most don’t realize, however, is that this group is only a very small percentage (less than 2%) of the world population. Also, it’s this very thinking that protects the alcohol industry’s profit and prevents people from looking at the one thing that could put it at risk - their casual “normal” drinking.
Ken Makimsy Middleton is the founder of AINYF (Alcohol is NOT Your Friend), a Medium publication, dedicated to sharing science-based information to help individuals quit alcohol and begin building the very best version of themselves. He is also the author of the upcoming book, Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fool of Us All: The Guide to Getting EVERYTHING You Want in Life By Giving Up Alcohol, which exposes the ways alcohol holds us back from achieving our goals and gives a playbook on how to not only give it up, but also how to create a thriving life of holistic wellness. 3 top tips for my audience:1. Educate yourself on what alcohol does to you physiologically and mentally.2. Create a goal for your future self to accomplish that is SO BIG, you couldn’t allow alcohol to be in your life to achieve it. 3. Never…ever…give up - every mistake is a lesson that will get you closer to the correct formula for you and ultimate success.

He is Chief Executive Officer at Feinberg Consulting, a company that helps families manage addiction, mental health issues and family healthcare crises.

If a loved one has an addiction or mental health challenge, you have the power to adjust your approach and attitude to dealing with it, and that can make all the difference.3. An Intervention can combat the denial inherent in addiction and mental health challenges. If the person of concern seems blind or unresponsive to the ways their behavior is affecting their friends and loved ones, this process can do wonders in reframing the way they think about their behavior.

Mental health is often an afterthought for most people when, in reality, it is vital to your physical health. With so much online information, it is hard to figure out what is fake and what is a fact. Navigating through the world wide web is exponentially more difficult for children, so my goal with the book series is to help clear up misconceptions about mental health and give guidance. Children turn to social media for advice, which is why our world is in its current state.
I was born in Vietnam but grew up in Southern California. Our family moved to the states when I was 7 years old. As an immigrant, I shared the same struggles as many other immigrants with adjusting to a new norm and dealing with bullying, discrimination, and constantly having to self-validate while fighting off depression. Having been in practice for over 10 years as a Family Physician, I have realized that my struggles are shared by many of my patients. As the pandemic progressed, I saw more and more visits related to mental health in the clinic for both adults and children. I was motivated to do something to help educate children and help start a dialogue between parents and children about mental health. I figured the best way to help educate is through storytelling. 3 top tips for my audience:1. Think of mental health as a regular part of your health, not something separate.2. Don’t be afraid to talk about your feelings to your family and friends; you would be surprised at the commonality that everyone experiences. 3. Listen with your heart, not your ears.
Have things in your life ever seemed impossible? We are all capable of so much more than we think we are. I was tested for schizophrenia, and when things seemed impossible, I was shown I had a strength I had no idea was inside me. You have this too. We are all ordinary people capable of extraordinary things. I ended up successfully recovering from schizophrenia, and now I help people with mental illness in developing countries so they can get access to primary mental health care at www.MindAid.ca.
Matthew Dickson bicycled across Canada at the age of 20, but shortly afterwards, he developed schizophrenia and was forced to alter the course of his life for many years to get through the disease.While working on his recovery in his home country of Canada, his heart went out to people with mental illness in developing countries who had it much worse than he did.After successfully recovering from schizophrenia, Matthew now helps people with mental illness in developing countries so they can get access to primary mental health care through his Mind Aid platform.3 top tips for my audience:1. “Unbeatable Mind” by Mark Divine, mindset secrets of Navy SEALs, SEALs are taught they are capable of 20x more than they think they are2. “The Survivor Personality” by Al Siebert, how people survived the Holocaust, cancer, natural disasters, alcoholism and thrived afterwards3. “Verbal Judo: The Gentle Art of Persuasion” by George Thompson, how police officers deal with people with words, not weapons

John currently resides in the Dominican Republic and works as an ambassador for the Foundation for a healthier Senegal.

There were meltdowns battling PTSD, I got married and divorced, saw the bottom of a lot of Jack Daniels bottles, visited brothels in Bangkok, spent a night or two in jail, married and divorced again (facepalm), joined a motorcycle club, got addicted to pills, and spent hundreds of hours in tattoo parlors. After being consumed by my military identity for so long, I didn’t know who I was without it. It was a journey to get back to myself and I found myself through helping others.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Traditional therapy isn’t as helpful as we want it to be 2. Veterans should focus on our strengths instead of our weaknesses 3. You need a mentor, and you also need to be a mentor

Erik DaRosa, known by friends and clients as “Yoda,” is an inspirational speaker and both the Founder and Co-host of the From Survivor to Thriver podcast. Erik is upending the front end of mental health conversations with his Co-host Marc Fernandes. Each week, he tackles different mental health topics through honest and relatable "kitchen table" conversations with real people helping to shatter mental health stigmas and find their voices. He aims to normalize discussions around mental health topics and remind his audience they are not alone, there is strength in community and "it's perfectly ok to not always be ok." In Erik's words: For as long as I can remember, I did everything to hide my "not okay-ness" from the world. After years of therapy and a highly effective regime of medications, there were still times that I chose the path of least resistance, the same path that far too many people choose: to suffer in silence. For decades I outwardly displayed a facade, that of a usually smiling, highly functioning, type-A successful overachiever. I had, subconsciously or not, chosen to accept society's stigma rather than embrace my vulnerability.
Stigma says we shouldn't talk openly about these things. I say we should! Stigma also says we shouldn't stand high upon the mountaintop, vulnerable and transparent, for the entire world to see. I say we must!
Together, let's work to break the stigma of mental illness and remind one another that it's perfectly okay to not always be okay. Collectively and with a bit of patience, we'll get through this, I promise.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. There is help 2. There is hope 3. There is a way through

Alexandria DeVito is the founder of Poplin, a pre-pregnancy wellness company for couples. Poplin helps couples get ready to get pregnant, starting with the most comprehensive pre-pregnancy wellness assessment out there. Alexandria has two Master’s degrees - one in business from Harvard Business School and one in nutrition. She developed Poplin after working with hundreds of couples trying to conceive, running tons of lab tests to discern what was going on and realizing that they had preventable health problems often undiagnosed by their doctors (including well into multiple rounds of fertility treatments). She knew there had to be a better way and built it from the ground up.
In Alexandria's words: Most of the time, when we talk about fertility, it’s in the context of infertility - and that’s way too late. As a type A planner, I realized there is guidance, tools and support for every other major milestone in life - weddings, home purchases, careers. It’s much more clinically effective - and it’s a better user experience overall - if we approach pregnancy like we approach these other major milestones. That's when I decided to take my diagnostic approach and protocols beyond the clinic and to serve couples across the country through Poplin. We help healthier parents conceive and give birth to healthier babies.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Know what you’re working with. Test, don’t guess. 2. Pre-pregnancy planning involves both partners/donors. It’s a 50/50 biological equation. 3. Hormones are only 30% of the equation regarding fertility. Your whole health matters too.

Michael Hynes is an executive coach and the author of The Myth-Guided Mind: How to Unleash Your God-Given Genius at Work and at Home. As a former therapist he learned that life can be brutal. Terrible things happen to good people all the time. Michael himself was broken by life when his uncle was killed in a funeral attack. That marked the beginning of his journey to becoming a healer and being a catalyst for people to get past their worst days and waking up to the best day ever.

Marie Alessi is a mother to two boys, a bestselling Author, Legacy Coach & TEDx Speaker. After her husband passed from a brain aneurysm, she chose a rather unconventional path. She chose Joy. It was the one they had both wanted for their young boys. Rob had taught her the concept of two choices – and this one was made in his honour to continue his legacy. Marie has become a shining example of choosing Love over fear and sadness. In her movement "Loving Life after Loss", Marie offers hope, healing and happiness to the world when people expect it the least and need it the most.
In Marie's words: When we experience loss in our life, we often feel powerless, like we didn’t get a say in this. We feel helpless - and, therefore, often forget the choices we do have. We can always choose how we respond to the life presented to us. Healing is a choice - and so is happiness. It all starts with a decision! 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Find those that can hold space for you without judgment. 2. Allow help in - we don’t heal well in isolation! 3. There is opportunity in grief, I call it “hidden gifts”.

Be Your Incredible Self (BYIS) best describes Ms. Garcia’s tenacious attitude towards empowering others. Garcia, over the past 35 years has navigated through domestic violence, privacy, safety, vulnerability, and the mindset to endure personal adverse events in life. Her survival of a double attempted homicide while 8 months pregnant (by the father) and the desperation to survive became the catalyst to the foundation of BYIS while achieving an undisputed outlook of independence. During her journey to overcome, Garcia learned that extreme independence is a trauma driven response and a natural one which can be defeated through focused, self awareness and intentional control. Through her own walk, harsh lessons brought on by extreme independence resulted in areas of her life being sabotaged repeatedly. Her personal journey of post traumatic growth has led Garcia to dedicating her life in developing transformational programs, various forms of coaching, certification courses and establishing a nonprofit to help real time victims. Her commitment is to provide lifelong transformational habits that can restore your powerful internal sense of control. One of her personal statements, ‘You don’t live anywhere but in your head’ is why some of her laser focus teachings are on aligning your mental and emotional belief system. As her passion grew from her own personal struggles, Garcia became active within the community receiving a Mayoral appointment to work with the Citizen Review board in direct conjunction with Internal Affairs. She received hands-on training from the Sheriff’s department, Department of Homeland Security, and FEMA which also led to the Infrastructure Liaison Officer designation (ILO), through the local Law Enforcement Center. Garcia has spent more than 20 years in the corporate world holding positions in Office Administration, Project Management, Compliance, Policy writing, Team building, Training, Leadership and Consulting. She continued to serve other organizations including the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS), Board of Directors, and holds a current membership in the FBI vetted private sector program of InfraGard. As VP of a Security Consultant Company, she has developed programs with leadership responsible for security and emergency management. These emphasize awareness toward identifying different stages of human behavior leading towards violence mitigation. While working, attending school, and raising her kids as a single parent, her personal priorities of housing, safety and privacy for her children were of utmost importance. This required Garcia to navigate through various self-help centers, state, city, local programs, systems and assistance to create a stable foundation for her family while providing the ability to assist others. She also volunteers and collaborates with local law writer(s), in support of bills under Public Safety. Garcia believes in the need to feel loved, wanted, and cared for as a part of life in all of us. Living through emotional tugs of war and learning to apply a controlled healthy mindset to overcome voids, shortcomings, and to break unhealthy cycles is who she is today versus the opposite of where she came from. Today, she prides herself on meeting the daily challenges of being vulnerable and safe at the same time while empowering others to Be Your Incredible Self. Garcia’s personal mission is to help lead others in transforming their survival of Domestic Violence (DV) into Post Traumatic Growth and to mitigate the depletion of resources for real time victims. Sharing her personal testimony has empowered so many others. She loves teaching her BYIS formula of: How to combine Situational Awareness with Emotional Intelligence to control your triggers.

In FIREPROOF: Your Grand Strategy for Transforming Failure into Fuel for Your Future, Mr Hollenbach takes the idea behind Yale University’s Grand Strategy Program designed for political leaders and heads of large corporations and applies those principles to the individual. His book answers the question: How can I create a Grand Strategy for my life? He then leads the reader through steps to develop their unique Grand Strategy to create a life that helps others and leaves a stellar legacy. No matter the disaster's severity, your intrinsic value is not attached to an occupation or your outward identity. Your value is in who you are. Take what you have learned and set your path toward where you want to go by implementing the steps in Fireproof. In a readable style sprinkled with personal stories and captivating case studies, the author delivers material that is both inspirational and actionable. At the end of each chapter are action steps to help the reader answer the questions: • What Is Your Desired End State? • What Do You Stand For? • Why Are You Doing This? • What’s In Your Way? • What Do You Need? • Where Do You Begin? • What’s Your Timeline? • What Happens When Everything Falls Apart? While most people ask, “What should I do to reach my goal?” the Grand Strategy process begins with a much better question: “Who do I need to be?” Your core essence determines what kind of leader you are. When you know what’s inside you—flaws and all—you can use tools to release your limitations and let go of self-defeating behaviours. You can, in real and practical ways, define yourself. Personal development topics create a thread throughout the entire work: self-leadership, self-awareness, communication, healthy relationships and self-care, as well as uncovering your core values and finding your big WHY. The author provides an analysis tool for challenging situations to help the reader discern which parts they can control, what they can influence and which things they can neither control nor influence. He also provides tools for releasing stress and working through feelings of overwhelm. He lists critical daily habits and mindset matters that are essential for success.

In George's words: As my heart shattered into a million pieces, I realized I was trapped somewhere between the past and future, watching life drift apart.
Mistakes were made. Hearts were broken. Harsh lessons became a story I was called to write.
I now believe everything in life is eligible for questioning. Nothing lasts forever, and unexpected life changes provide me with an opportunity to let go of old stories while my words bleed out in the form of new stories that shape everything I see.
Like so many people do, I crafted an identity throughout my childhood.
At six years old, I experienced my parent’s divorce, and my hopes as a little boy were shot down. As the firstborn son in a Greek family, I cultivated a strong work ethic from my father and a fiery side of life from my mother.
Despite feelings of abandonment and rejection, I was told to grow up and be a man. A phrase so powerful, it fueled my life with shame and the need to continually prove myself worthy in everything I did.
But everything changed after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
My first few years as a Marine included a lot of personal hurdles I had to clear. I lost my best friend in the Iraq war, and the battle with addictive behaviours and depression began.
As I climbed the ranks and gained valuable life experiences, I got the chance to play America’s superhero. From training with the FBI in Quantico, Top Secret clearances, combat deployments, and travelling to over 40 countries, I realized that perhaps each of us does have a unique reason for being here.
I chose to hang up my uniform after ten years of honourable service.
Though I wasn’t sure what would come next, one thing was certain, I wasn’t ready to face myself, and I didn’t know how to sit in the discomfort, so I defaulted to what I always did- run.
I took what seemed like the most logical route after one would leave the military. I applied for MBA programs and started a family in hopes of finding something greater. Through years spent transforming hundreds of lives as a personal trainer, I found my passion for helping people unlock their potential and mine.
From endurance races, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and everything in between, I trained hard for hours and used my body like a machine.
But there was a double-edged sword to this life: I had confidence issues within myself, I was in and out of the emergency room for years with a medical condition, and I never saw my family and ran around like a headless human.
To me, life felt like a checklist. Marriage, fatherhood, and pursuing a big dream felt like those things I needed to do. I had no reason to believe those things, but each day I sank deeper into a dark vault of depression.
I felt trapped by the outside world as I watched familiar patterns of my past repeat in my life, and suicidal thoughts became a regular occurrence for me.
Meanwhile, I felt the rage of a man with a broken heart. I felt guilty for everything that happened in my life, and the excruciating shame forced me to a place in which I almost took my life.
Several months after everything came crashing down, I got sober, celibate, and started to write about my experiences.
I found retreats, yoga, meditation, coaches, single parenting, and myself.
I connected with my family, joined men’s groups, fell in love with nature, and immersed myself in the studies of human behaviour and the school of heart-knocks.
I left my comfort zone behind for a world of uncertainty and truth.
I decided I was no longer a slave to other people’s lives or the limitations and stories that held me hostage. Through my pain, I created a new story. One that gave me the courage to open my heart and clear space for whatever needed to move through me.
I turned myself into a writer because I knew my life would become a reflection of my heart and soul in the form of words that would allow others to heal their wounds by sharing my story.
It’s not about creating a fairytale, it’s about my quest for emotional authenticity because my words will forever speak my truth.
These days I have slowed way down. Taking inventory of my life and my choices revealed so much to me. I’m slowly understanding my patterns, triggers and who I am today. Not yesterday or tomorrow.
This is my life, and I share it not to persuade anyone to change but to give people an example of what happens when you begin to take responsibility for your life rather than run from it.
Author, men's coach, and professional pornstar Erik Everhard teaches high achievers elite-level sexual skills so that they can master the bedroom like they dominate the boardroom. In Erik's words: My journey to sexual mastery has been a unique one; you see for the last 23 years, I’ve been one of the top Adult Film stars in the world, and that’s not by accident. No, there were no crazy parties, there was no hedonism, from my very first scene I've treated my career exactly like a professional athlete. I spent my time learning and studying women in REAL LIFE and throughout every sexual encounter I had. I figured out the bio-hacks to my own body, out of necessity, as my job and livelihood depended on it. I discovered mental hacks to quell performance anxiety, last longer in the bedroom, secret techniques that could get women off time after time, special diet and supplementation, and more. After over 5000 women, I feel I have cracked the code.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. How to overcome anxiety in the bedroom 2. Why bedroom leadership matters. 3. Why porn should not be viewed as sexual education, but rather entertainment

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a colorless and odorless gas. Studies have shown that H2 inhalation has therapeutic effects in many animal studies and clinical trials. H2 has a relatively small molecular mass, which helps it quickly spread and penetrate cell membranes to exert a wide range of biological effects. It may play a role in the treatment and prevention of a variety of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, such as acute pancreatitis, sepsis, respiratory disease, ischemia reperfusion injury diseases, autoimmunity diseases, etc. H2 is primarily administered via inhalation, drinking H2-rich water, or injection of H2 saline. It may participate in the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity (mitochondrial energy metabolism), immune system regulation, and cell death (apoptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis) through annihilating excess reactive oxygen species production and modulating nuclear transcription factor. However, the underlying mechanism of H2 has not yet been fully revealed. Owing to its safety and potential efficacy, H2 has a promising potential for clinical use against many diseases.

In Candace's words: "When there is addiction in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. There are a lot of resources available for addicts, but there is very little skilled support for the people who love them, so most families have no idea about what to do to make this horrific situation better. Enabling behaviors from family members and other loved ones keep an addict stuck in their addiction while helping behaviors assist them to become ready for recovery. When we choose to help instead of enabling, the devastating cycle of addiction can be stopped in its tracks."
Candace Plattor is an Addictions Therapist in private practice, where she specializes in working with the family and other loved ones of people who are struggling with addiction, in her unique and signature Family Addiction Counselling and Therapy Program. As a former opioid addict with almost 35 years clean and sober, Candace has learned that overcoming addiction is a family condition: everyone in the family is affected by addiction and everyone needs to heal. For more than three decades, she has been helping both addicts and their loved ones understand their dysfunctional behaviors and make healthier life choices.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. You cannot control or “fix” another person, so stop trying! 2. Learn the difference between Helping and Enabling 3. Know that “Self-Care” does not equal “Selfish”

Most addictions are rooted in unresolved trauma, but how do we begin to build awareness around what that looks like as it shows up in our minds and bodies? In this talk, Brenda Hershey will elaborate on not only the signs and symptoms, but will break down the science behind it. Furthermore, she’ll share integratable tools to strengthen the mind-body connection to foster a sense of safety and security in one’s body again, which is so often lost when dissociating and numbing out. If you’re ready for some simple yet powerful tools to anchor yourself into the present moment and not miss a moment more of your life, don’t miss this episode. Based in Iraqi-Kurdistan, Brenda Hershey is an author, international humanitarian, researcher and TRY Global's President & Founder. She became a certified Trauma Recovery Yoga (TRY) instructor in 2019 and had been teaching the classes regularly when she experienced a series of her own “Big T” traumas. Because she had built up such a high level of resilience teaching TRY, she found herself equipped with the tools to self-regulate during those dark moments, and process/ release that trauma. Now, she’s on a mission to empower others by sharing these mind-body tools with others on their journeys of recovery and resilience.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Notice your breath! During our call, I’ll cue for them to notice whether they’re inhaling or exhaling right now, and highlight how we can go crazy amounts of time without noticing our breath (despite taking about 20,000 breaths a day). I also plan to emphasize the significance of breath in strengthening the mind-body connection and toning the vagus nerve/ re-calibrating the nervous system.
-
Mindfully move your body on a regular basis. Whether it’s yoga, going on a walk, playing with your kids, playing a sport, or whatever. By moving mindfully with our breath, we create opportunity to strengthen our nervous system, and if we’ve disassociated due to addiction and/or trauma, it helps bridge that gap within.
-
Listen to your body. The reality is that, even when our brains have stored away old memories or programming that we’d rather not face, our bodies remember. Our bodies are talking to us all the time, the real practice is in listening to what it’s saying. TRY provides trauma-informed tools to do just that - to quiet the mind, be still and listen.

In John's words: I strive to help people overcome depression and anxiety by getting them in shape and the importance of martial arts by improving their bodies, wealth, relationships with themselves, and creating a strong spiritual foundation. I have personal experience with this as when I was in my mid-twenties, I almost jumped off a bridge and I found my saving grace through simple hacks in working out and martial arts. Ever since then I become a personal trainer I have developed tools to help not only transform bodies but also help people regain long-lost mobility issues ranging from age to past injuries. I have trained the blind, people in wheelchairs, young people with canes, and all sorts of other "issues" all get better. Please understand that this is subjective I couldn't make the blind see, I couldn't get the guy out of the wheelchair - he had spina bifida I helped them become stronger with what they had. I hope that I can help inspire some young people to get out of whatever funk that they might be in through my life story and that others that I have helped.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. The Power of exercise 2. The Importance of Failure 3. Step into the fear…it’s the BEST teacher you’ll ever have

After pursuing a psychology degree and launching Cope Notes, the mental health technology company, Johnny Crowder has learned countless lessons about neuroscience, positive psychology, and resilience. Trying to manually force healthier thoughts to occur inside of the brain is kind of like trying to bench press 500 pounds without years of training. Through trial, error, and years of personal experience, Johnny has learned how to effectively train the brain to think healthier thoughts in a practical, sustainable, life-changing way.
Johnny Crowder is a 29-year-old suicide/abuse survivor, TEDx speaker, touring musician, mental health and sobriety advocate, and the Founder & CEO of Cope Notes, a text-based mental health platform that provides daily support to users in nearly 100 countries around the world. 3 top tips for my audience: 1.

In Pamela's words: I am the youngest of 5 daughters born into a middle-class family in Western, Pennsylvania. Our parents divorced when I was 17 and I was left to “raise” my mother for a few years as she struggled with depression, anger and drinking after their divorce. Recovery from an emotionless narcissistic husband and recovering from alcohol abuse, to hide the marriage issues, were the best two things I have done for myself. Realizing that my marriage was only going to get worse, I decided I needed to save myself and my children. He was verbally punishing me on a daily basis, just as my father abused my mother and the children. Yes, I married my father. As sick as that sounds, my father was the first man I got to know in my life, and of course, I would look for someone with his qualities because that was all I knew. My father, and my ex-husband, have some really great qualities, like work ethic, how they appear to others, and having nice things. What you don’t see is the devil behind the mask. They were both verbally abusive to me. My ex was even physically abusive to me on more than one occasion and then he told me “I deserved it,” and I 100% believed him. I never had high self-esteem before he came into my life, and the little bit I had left, he totally sucked from me. I walked on eggshells for 19 years, and then I got strong. When he cheated on me and told me it was my fault, I was done, out, getting divorced one way or another. That was the beginning of my new life. I then got sober, helped our oldest son get into recovery for drug addiction, returned to college and received a BS in Management, changed jobs, bought my house, finished raising our two children that were in grade school when we divorced, and here I am today. I am ALIVE and loving my life. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. If it feels wrong, it is. 2. Trust your gut instinct 3. Never let anyone tell you “you aren’t worthy” because sisters/brothers, YOU ARE!

Fred Rutmanwas a college professor (Marketing/Finance) when in the summer of 2009, his life came crashing down. Numerous hospitalizations lead to numerous misdiagnoses, medical cognitive bias and much damage. After three months, they recognized my condition - my heart kept stopping. The standard fix for this is a pacemaker. To cure everything else, I was left to my own devices. Then in 2013 and 2018, this happened again - a one in a billion series of events. He is now writing my memoir “The Summer I Died Twenty Times,” doing the podcast circuit, & hoping to inspire others.This is a story of overcoming adversity and resilience. A story of overcoming a series of improbable medical traumas, including botched surgeries and medical device failures. Oh, and being clinically dead a few dozen times. And PTSD, Post Concussion Syndrome and perpetual anxiety. With no roadmap to recovery, I found my way back to health via the miraculous healing powers of intermittent fasting, which I share with anyone who is interested. 3 top tips for my audience: 1.

I have delivered thousands of leadership keynotes, trainings, webinars, workshops and presentations throughout the world. I wrote the best selling book “UNSTOPPABLE: 7 Steps To Becoming A More Intentional Leader” which and in order to reach even more people I distilled my lifetime of experiences into The MindShift Game and The MindShift Game Service Suite.
As a child I lived a life of poverty and abuse. I dropped out of school at age 12, became pregnant and had a beautiful baby boy at age 15. To build a good life for my son, I decided to get a college degree. At age 16, I started at a local community college and then went on to earn an A.A., A.S., then a B.B.A., and M.B.A.! I did all of this while raising my child on my own, dealing with injuries from a major car accident, brain cancer and other crises. I truly believe that it is the power of MindShifting which I stumbled upon in my youth, and then refined as an adult that has led me to overcome these challenges.

Juan Ayala is an actor, journalist and podcaster from Connecticut, now living in New York City, actively pursuing his acting career for the last five years. Throughout his life, he has overcome several major obstacles, including dealing with depression and anxiety, a very difficult coming out journey as a queer man in his twenties, weighing over 225 lbs when he was in college, and having ideation of suicide when he was just thirteen years old. He has thankfully persevered and successfully navigated these obstacles and hopes to share his journey and story with as many people as he can. As an actor, he has worked in multiple network television series, including NBC’s Blindspot and ABC’s For Life, as well as dozens of theatrical productions across his home state of Connecticut. When not on set or on stage, he works as a journalist and podcast producer for a number of outlets, including MediaVillage and Latin Media Group. His longest-running podcast “Actors With Issues” is soon to hit 100 episodes and features mini career deep-dives and enlightening discussions with his guests who work across film, television and Broadway. He resides in Brooklyn, NY with his partner Erick. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Find your village. Every actor needs a support system, not just to get you through the tough times, but to also celebrate the wins, tiny or huge, that come your way. 2. Find a passion beyond your career. It’s not healthy for anyone to only ever focus on their job and career and not have any other prospects. 3. No one is better at being you than you. Sometimes we can’t help but compare ourselves to the people around us who may be doing better than we are,

Nicole saw through her education and life experiences that things were not connected. She saw that people were taught their personality but not taught other people’s personality and how to communicate in personality. She also saw that people were hurt and wounded in their personality.

It is fast and intuitive, helping you feel connected and providing a sense of belonging to all your relationships. So sit back and get ready to learn how to discover belonging. Nicole did her bachelor's degree with business and conflict resolution. She did her masters in industrial organizational psychology. Nicole is the author of The Needs Language series.

To take the stress out of making mistakes, when someone makes one, say and feel the truth of the statement, “You matter more than the mistake.” When you make a mistake, say and feel the truth of the statement, “I matter more than the mistake,” and then make the mistake right by making amends however you can. 2. To tame a tantrum (yes, we all still have them), put a note in your pocket that says, I don’t need my raging story anymore and pull it out and read it every time anger tries to take you over. 3. Become a ‘Gratitude Practitioner’ and see if you can be grateful for everything your eyes land on, every day. This diverts the mind away from negativity and into coherence.

Lori Adams-Brown is a Business Leader, Podcast Host & Executive Producer of the A World of Difference podcast. Lori is a woman on a mission to bring systemic changes on a global scale by creating belonging and increasing inclusion where she pulls up a chair for new voices at the table. She worked in Indonesian tsunami relief in 2004, and learned that making a difference means listening, empathizing and rolling up our sleeves to make a significant impact together. She believes our stories are powerful to help us heal from trauma, and that our challenges are what motivate us to bring a much-needed change in our societies around the globe. Lori Adams-Brown works in Client Relations in a Silicon Valley startup. She grew up in Valencia, Venezuela where she learned to love city life, island life and merengue and salsa music. She worked for 20 years in international relief and development in Singapore and Indonesia. She has been a pastor at a large multi-site church in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Development Director of a nonprofit in the Silicon Valley. Lori speaks 6 languages. She holds an M.A. in Intercultural Studies from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary and has B.A.s in Sociology and Spanish from Samford University. Her happy place is sipping a flat white coffee while having a deep conversation and enjoying either a beach or mountain vacation with the love of her life, Jason, their urbanite Third Culture Kids, and their Singaporean rescue dog.
In Lori's words: Our world is polarized, sorted, and siloed in evho chambers that pit us against each other. The war in Eastern Europe is the culmination of what happens when we fail to listen, to see, and to include each other in solving our world’s problems together. Learning to listen, crossing the street, crossing the aisle, and linking arms together in celebration of our differences will help us change the broken systems in our world. We need each other.
3 Top Tips 1. Listen to understand, and listen some more 2. Pro-actively seek out diverse voices to teach you 3. Link arms with people different from you to solve issues in your community, nation and world

261 Kristy Kilcup: How to move past your distorted narrative. It’s all bullshit anyway!
Kristy Kilcup, Founder and CEO of Version of YOU - 2.0 INC.,™ is known for her rapid transformational results and ‘disruptor attitude’ within the weight loss industry, bestowed upon her by the New York City Journal.
As an Rapid Transformational Therapy® Certified Hypnotherapist, Personal Trainer, Health, Life and Mastery Level Transformation Coach, Advanced Nutrition and Personalized Health Coach, she leverages her personal story, 28 years of professional experience and education to help her clients move past fear and anxiety. She also specializes in Weight Loss for Women, helping them understand their unique hormone blueprint while clearing underlying emotional issues.
In Kristy's words: We spend most of our life avoiding our truth. We numb it with food, alcohol, sex, drugs and pain. We avoid it with work, volunteering, or isolation. And while we rely on these coping mechanisms to get by, we have this little voice fighting to be heard, saying, "we deserve more." Or this chronic feeling of unhappiness, often not really knowing why we are so unhappy. And what if you could uncover the origin of your distorted truths? Tap into your body in time to recognize when you have been triggered, so you can take back control? Would you dive in? 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Pay very close attention to your physiology. How you feel will help you realize if you have been emotionally triggered so you can take control of your responses 2. Step back and assess where these feelings originated along your timeline. Understand that your feelings (aka emotional triggers) are not the result of that particular moment. You have an attachment to an event that occurred in your past, and it's that past event that you need to link to your current emotional state. In doing so, you can recognize that the reason why you are so sad, frustrated, or angry is not because of the present moment but because of how you felt in the past. That awareness gives you the power to diffuse the intensity of your feelings felt in the present moment. 3. Identify that you get to control your emotions' "intensity volume," thereby controlling your emotional response. Now that you recognize you have been triggered and why your feelings are so intense, you can focus on breathing, calming down and taking rational action rather than an irrational reaction to the situation at hand.

Quite frankly, Angela is no one important. If you were to ask what she does or how she identifies, she would most likely say mom. In the last few years, she has noticed divisiveness amongst groups and wants to show the world how similar we all are in our suffering and our joy. She does that with her podcast Relatively Damaged. In addition to the podcast she hopes to effect real policy changes for those who are disabled in the United States where, when one becomes so disabled they need in-home-care, they become a hostage to their home. Angela Talent is the mother of two. At the age of 35 she was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) which would rob her of the use of her hands and limit her ability to walk. At the beginning of 2021 she realized she could use her ability to listen and have meaningful conversations to show the world how uniquely beautiful the human experience is.

CJ Grace had lived a charmed life. A dream job as BBC journalist and then working for China Radio International in Beijing, falling in love with an American she met there. Her 25th wedding anniversary was the best one ever, spent in Hawaii, where they had a second home. Just 2 years later, her life was in tatters. Her husband had a mistress half his age, and CJ got breast cancer. Refusing to be a victim and hanging on to her sense of humour, CJ developed a 6-part program to use adversity as a catalyst to reinvent her midlife.
C. J. Grace is the author of Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not and currently completing Hotel Chemo: My Wild Ride through Breast Cancer and Infidelity.

She insists that the obstacles she’s faced have enabled her to make her midlife better than her younger days.

Additionally, Scott offers Leadership Transformation services helping executives and managers recognize their organization’s performance thresholds and how to counter polluted circumstances while reducing stress and burnout. In Scott's words: Little did I realize how many directions one’s life could go. As a child, I dreamed of exploring the world over. Serving in 2 combat tours at 18 years old forced me to grow up quicker than others. Experiencing death gave me a different outlook on the value of life. Promising myself to live my life to the fullest, I sought a life that would keep me moving, learning. Working unthinkable projects in harsh conditions, until I couldn’t. Leading to my death. Why this and the ensuing depression happened is how I created my TIME | LIFE | SELF program.

Nicholas Mathews is a founder of Stillwater Behavioral Health, a Dual Diagnosis treatment facility that personalizes care to help people struggling to recover from substance addiction and mental health disorders -- regardless of their socioeconomic background. Mathews abused opioids before becoming a heroin addict at age 16. When he developed a life-threatening liver condition, he realized he needed to get clean. After succeeding, he dedicated his life to guiding others into sobriety, becoming a consultant for various treatment facilities. This inspired him to fix deficiencies in clinical care and boost treatment program effectiveness through Stillwater Behavioral Health. He currently studies at Harvard Business School online. 3 top tips for my audience: “You can’t keep what you have unless you give it away.” That’s a wildly important lesson I learned. You have to be willing to show up for other people with the absence of self. If you benefit from that, great, but the real benefit comes from the reminder that your problems are not the most significant. You are not the most important person in the room. And one of the biggest things I’ve benefited from is the ability to realize that I’m not a victim. I don’t think there’s ever been a situation where I was truly victimized. It was a state of mind that I upheld to justify my behavior. When I could transcend that mindset and take control of my life, I experienced a freedom I had never known before.

- everyone holds personal boundaries
- a boundary violation can occur regardless of our relationship with someone
- it's up to the person who experiences the violation to define and determine how much context matters
- harm is a veritable concept
- It's really critical that we think about not just being against the big behaviours, but the small behaviours
- apologize without contextualizing
- take ownership regardless of your intentionality
- our identity impacts how we perceive these situations
- And just because something's been the way it was for so many years, it doesn't mean we can't critique it. Re-explore it, reevaluate it and come up with better answers!

Ann recognized that her emotional memories were stored physically in her body as tension. As that tension was released, life started to change in ways that she never knew were possible. By sharing her story, Ann wants others to know their lives can change too. When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.
3 top tips 1. Emotions are stored physically in our body as physical tension. 2. The first step is noticing when we are feeling emotional 3. Accepting how we are thinking and feeling (not acting on them though) allows them to dissipate their energy.

Stairway to heaven or highway to hell?
Dianne Simboro is a Master Coach, Trainer, Behavioural Profiler and Hypnotherapist. She established Family Violence Mindset Solutions and How to Thrive After Family Violence to teach survivors of family violence strategies to fast-track their recovery process and how to recognise the strategies of perpetrators of violence. Dianne had an interracial marriage and started out in a small West African country where she didn’t speak the language, didn’t understand the culture and stood out in a crowd. But in just 12 months she created a successful but small Art Business starting from scratch, all while being pregnant with her first daughter. After an abusive marriage that lasted 27 years and another 10 years spent working with survivors of family violence, Dianne found that once women were able to recognise the strategies used by their abusers, they had the tools needed to eliminate all of the hooks that were once used as a means of control over them and they could avoid getting caught again. But it became very clear to Dianne that new love and the early stages of abuse are almost identical and it was necessary to help women clearly distinguish the difference between the two.
Step 1. The woman is looking for love. She looks at only one person at a time. The abuser is looking for his next victim Step 2. The woman is on her best behavior. She's wanting to show that she regards what she regards as her best qualities in order to impress him. The abuser also is on his best behavior. Step 3. She wants to find out more about him, she wants to love someone. The abuser is wanting to find out more about her because he's fascinated with his prey. Step 4. The woman has a tick box of desirable qualities in the man. Someone who is maybe caring, kind, generous, financially, independent and protective of her. At this point, she trusts what he's telling her. She has no reason not to trust in the earliest stages of a new relationship. Step 5. She is assessing his character. She's comparing him to her past failed relationships to see if there are any red flags that she needs to look for. The abuser has realized that he is being assessed. He knows what to avoid, to show that he's different to her previous relationships because he's already asked her is calculating and measured in his behaviour he's fascinated with his prey. Step 6. The woman shares about her life because he seems to be fascinated by her more than other men that she's met before she easily shares her skills, talents, hobbies, and interests. He claims that he is a victim of a b@#$% and or he's the victim of an abusive and painful childhood. This begins to explain any adverse behaviour and is an early stage of conditioning. Step 7. She hopes for commitment but is willing to settle for connection at first. Her abuser rushes to commitment. It's a whirlwind affair and that's another red flag. He secures the relationship quickly. Step 8. The woman is waiting for the heart to say, this is the one. The head is not as important at this stage. In the new relationship, she is willing to overlook minor issues because she believes love can overcome pretty much everything. The abuser, his head is switched on at all times. He wants a people pleaser because they are easier to control. Step 9. "If you love me, you will __________." She considers it natural to have to make some compromises, and he will stay. This honeymoon period will only last as long as necessary change will happen. Step 10. He pretends to share her interests to become the centre of her world, all the while subtly pushing other important people out of her life. He is able to push her buttons if she hesitates and the abuser will do everything to retain control of his newly conditioned victim.

10in10 Aaron Solly - Depression is Anger turned Inward
Aaron Solly, the founder of Engage Coaching Group, is a banker turned coach, author, educator, father of two amazing boys, and husband.
At 37 years old, he was overwhelmed and in a deep depression in the basement of his home. He was working in the financial services industry feeling stressed out and not happy with his career. His first marriage was failing. His first son was 2 years old. His world felt like it was falling apart all around him. On that day, he decided to shift his perspective from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this for?”
The famous psychologist Carl Jung stated “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
When life struggles happen such as the fear of losing your job, a marriage breakdown or being in the dark cloud of depression, the answer is not from an outside source.
The answer comes from going within yourself and connecting to your values, your purpose and all the feelings that are part of who you are.

He has also published numerous articles on the subject, has spoken at many conferences in various countries, and has appeared on the History Channel. He is currently Visiting Fellow at University of Winchester, and Research Fellow at the Parapsychology Foundation. In Gregory's words: Throughout history and around the world, near-death experiences have influenced ideas about the afterlife. They also share similarities with other extraordinary experiences such as shamanism, psychic mediumship, and memories of states between lives in reincarnation memories. But they also have many differences, both between cultures and individuals. What can this combination of similarities and differences tell us about near-death experiences, death, and the afterlife? And what does it mean for our time on Earth?
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Be here now. 2. Death will be a glorious adventure - even if we don’t survive it. 3. Life every day as if it’s your last, because it might be.

Aaron Solly, the founder of Engage Coaching Group, is a banker turned coach, author, educator, father of two amazing boys, and husband.
At 37 years old, he was overwhelmed and in a deep depression in the basement of his home. He was working in the financial services industry feeling stressed out and not happy with his career. His first marriage was failing. His first son was 2 years old. His world felt like it was falling apart all around him. On that day, he decided to shift his perspective from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this for?”
The famous psychologist Carl Jung stated “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
When life struggles happen such as the fear of losing your job, a marriage breakdown or being in the dark cloud of depression, the answer is not from an outside source.
The answer comes from going within yourself and connecting to your values, your purpose and all the feelings that are part of who you are.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Feel your feelings. 2. Journaling is a proven tool to improve anxiety, lower levels of depression and increase positive mood. 3. Ask for help when you are struggling.

In Evangela's words: "I am a trauma recovery coach with 4.5 years sober. Trauma played a huge part in my addiction & I believe it does for many. Emotional sobriety is just as important as sobriety from chemicals. Embracing life as it currently is is what I do & teach my clients, friends, family, & colleagues. I have given my power away to so many gurus that I didn't know up from down & left from right (hence the name of my coaching practice). Living with developmental trauma, narcissistic abuse, sexual assault, addiction, religious trauma, codependency, anxiety, depression & C-PTSD put me in a unique position to have empathy & compassion for my fellow humans in this world. I can help guide you out of the trenches because I've gotten out of them myself. It has been a long road to regain my sense of self & the power I hold over my own life. This struggle in particular made me want to empower others to make choices that build them up, not tear them down." 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Be who you are 2. You aren’t the only one struggling. 3. There’s nothing “wrong” with you.

I have had the honour to interview Ben Westhoff about his 4 year research into latest opioid epidemic which at the time of writing has caused in excess of 100000 deaths in the United States.
A deeply human story, Fentanyl, Inc. is the first deep-dive investigation of a hazardous and illicit industry that has created a worldwide epidemic, ravaging communities and overwhelming and confounding government agencies that are challenged to combat it. “A whole new crop of chemicals is radically changing the recreational drug landscape,” writes Ben Westhoff. “These are known as Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) and they include replacements for known drugs like heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana. They are synthetic, made in a laboratory, and are much more potent than traditional drugs”—and all-too-often tragically lethal. Drugs like fentanyl, K2, and Spice—and those with arcane acronyms like 25i-NBOMe— were all originally conceived in legitimate laboratories for proper scientific and medicinal purposes. Their formulas were then hijacked and manufactured by rogue chemists, largely in China, who change their molecular structures to stay ahead of the law, making the drugs’ effects impossible to predict. Westhoff has infiltrated this shadowy world. He tracks down the little-known scientists who invented these drugs and inadvertently killed thousands, as well as a mysterious drug baron who turned the law upside down in his home country of New Zealand. Westhoff visits the shady factories in China from which these drugs emanate, providing startling and original reporting on how China’s vast chemical industry operates, and how the Chinese government subsidizes it. Poignantly, he chronicles the lives of addicted users and dealers, families of victims, law enforcement officers, and underground drug awareness organizers in the U.S. and Europe. Together they represent the shocking and riveting full anatomy of a calamity we are just beginning to understand. From its depths, as Westhoff relates, are emerging new strategies that may provide essential long-term solutions to the drug crisis that has affected so many.
Ben Westhoff is a St. Louis-based, award-winning investigative reporter who writes about culture, drugs, and poverty. His book Fentanyl, Inc.: How Rogue Chemists Created the Deadliest Wave of the Opioid Epidemic is the bombshell first book about the fentanyl epidemic. Westhoff has become the go-to expert on the subject of fentanyl and new drugs, sought out for consultation by top government officials, including from the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, and the U.S. State Department. He has appeared on full dedicated episodes of NPR's Fresh Air and the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. His next book Little Brother: Love, Tragedy, and My Search For the Truth (Hachette Books, May 2022) focuses on his investigation into the death of his long-time mentee in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. His previous book Original Gangstas is the definitive work on West Coast hip-hop. He has also written for The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and the Guardian.

Kate Semeniuk is a certified Hypnotherapist and a licenced Rapid Transformational Therapist, working with people’s deepest mental struggles. By accessing their subconscious mind, we are able to look at the beliefs and feelings they form in childhood that affect their life either in a positive or negative way. In 2020, Kate and her family found themselves in isolation and she finally hit her rock bottom, where everything just crashed on her emotionally and physically. Only through personal growth and recovery, she was able to find the method that liberated her from emotional pain and childhood trauma, from addiction since the early age of 12 and a decade long depression. She is now helping others to free their minds from destructive patterns and behaviours.
In Kate's words: "It is absolutely hard and sometimes can seem impossible to become an observer of our own actions. Addiction first eats us alive (emotionally and physically) and then it starts to eat people around us. How to stop this cycle and use those rare sober minutes wisely, so that we can take first actions to recover. We first need to understand what are the roots of addictions and why it is so hard to make the right decisions for our bodies and minds." 3 top tips for my audience: 1. There is an emotion that we all connect to an addictive substance. Once you find this emotion, you will be able to become an observer of your actions. 2. The rule of 5 seconds (most people only have 5 seconds to make a decision before the unconscious mind takes over). Use these 5 second wisely. 3. No one can blame themselves for things that they are not consciously aware of.

After going from fat to fit, Scott has inspired thousands to do the same. Since the year 2000 Scott has been writing an online fitness newsletter to an international audience and runs a highly successful Fitness Centre. Scott has learned what it really takes to be healthy and fit. His lectures and seminars are full of energy, fun and in high demand across North America.
Scott McDermott went from fat to fit and then turned his entire life upside down leaving a 13-year career in architecture to build a 15,000 square foot fitness centre in a small town in 2002. He has won Rotarian of the year (04), business of the year (04) and citizen of the year (‘05 and ‘15). Scott has since completed 6 Ironmans and been on Team Canada twice for the ITU World Long Course Championships. Most recently falling in love with Ultraman Triathlon (2.5 times longer than Ironman) – he has completed 2 races, and after learning a ton after a near-fatal crash during his 3rd race at the World Championships in 2015. Following a 3 year recovery, he headed back in 2018 for the Comeback race. The documentary on that journey is available on lifestreaming: www.warriorcodefilm.com He has written a book: ‘If Your Body Were A Car, You Wouldn’t Treat It This Way’, and in addition to running a very successful gym, is a coach and trainer both in his gym and online helping others reclaim their fitness and health. His book and related talks offer massive amounts of tips for the average person, as well as experienced trainers. With fun analogies to create memorable connections to why we need to be fit and healthy and how to do it completely, from food, to exercise, to motivation.

Lyn Delmastro-Thomson holds a master’s degree in somatic (mind-body) psychology and is a certified hypnotherapist and energy healer, using the healing systems of BodyTalk and Body Intuitive. She is also a speaker and author of the Amazon Best Seller, You Are Not Your Diagnosis. After being misdiagnosed with leukaemia at the age of 25, Lyn became passionate about sharing with the world her message that just because a doctor has said an illness is "chronic" or "incurable" doesn't mean that it has to be a life sentence, and that western medicine isn't the only approach to healing. In Lyn's words: "Hearing the words “you have leukaemia” were life-changing. I went from seeing myself as a 25-year-old grad student to seeing myself as someone battling cancer in a matter of moments. After recovering from the initial shock, I tried to resume living my life but I didn’t get better-- and instead, I got worse. I began to ask questions about my care, as well as to explore other healing approaches. Through the process, I learned that my body had been “talking” to me for several years before this diagnosis and just how important it is to listen to our bodies."
3 top tips for my audience: 1. When you are experiencing physical symptoms, start getting curious about what your body is telling you. Start having a discussion with your body like you would with a friend. 2. The more you suppress symptoms rather than trying to resolve them at the root, often the louder your body will get. Get help to figure out the root causes if you are struggling. 3. Don’t feel uncomfortable asking for a second (or third) opinion if you are dealing with health issues

Every day you get to make choices. Every minute you get to take action. It is up to you in which way you want to move. You either work on your recovery or you work on your relapse (regardless if we are talking about addiction or any other mental health problems).
Stavros is a 29-year veteran of the weight loss field, and he is the founder of the Live Your Way Thin System. An unconventional approach to weight loss that helps people lose weight for life by reconnecting them to 5 ancient habits that modern societies have forgotten. Stavros' position on weight loss and health was not shaped by simply studying in school. He was raised on a Greek island where thin was the norm and people lived long healthy lives. That unique life experience gave him an insight into weight loss and health that very few weight-loss experts have.
In Stavros'words: "Following the example of successful people usually is a good idea, but not when it comes to losing weight and getting in shape. Most people who were able to lose weight and keep it off have sacrificed their life for fitness. They are constantly preoccupied with their diet and workouts, and don’t enjoy life to the fullest. Who wants to live like that? I don’t! There is a much better example to follow that will enable you to have a lean and healthy body and still enjoy life to the fullest. That is the example of healthy regions."
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Never work on more than one habit at a time. Trying to work on too many habits at once, almost always leads to burnout. 2. The first goal of any exercise program should not be results, it should be to develop the exercise habit 3. You don’t need to get rid of junk food to lose weight and get in shape. All you have to do is make them special and have them only on the weekends and special occasions.

I have the honour of speaking with Colleen Murphy about the journey following a severe accident that turned this family's life upside down.
On the morning of April 19, 2013, while out for a typical morning run, Cooleen's daughter Lauren was hit by a car and suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury. Lauren was admitted to Cedars- Sinai Hospital in West Hollywood and remained in extremely critical condition for several weeks. Lauren had lived in New York at the time of the accident and was in LA on business. She did not have identification on her and remained a Jane Doe for several hours. Her prognosis was not good. Upon arriving in LA, her parents were told that she had a very slim chance of surviving. Once she got past the extremely critical stage it had been explained that her brain damage was so severe that she would most likely not be able to feed herself, walk, talk or understand spoken words.
Thankfully, Lauren has never been typical and she has spent the last 5 years proving all of the experts wrong. Her recovery has been far from easy, she has travelled all over the United States working with experts trying to get better. She works extremely hard and continues to struggle each and every day to regain as much of her former life as possible. Lauren has become the embodiment of the Murphy family saying, “Murphys Don’t Quit” and this has become her calling card.
Today she lives with her parents in O’Fallon MO and continues to focus on her recovery. She maintains a very busy schedule of speech therapy, physical therapy and the all too often retail therapy trips with her Mother. Lauren enjoys getting out in the community, meeting new people and sharing her story. She remains at high risk for seizure activity due to the extent of her brain damage. One of her seizure triggers is running, an average person may decide to give up running due to the risk, not Lauren, she refuses to give up! To date, against all odds, she has completed over (20) 5k runs with her Dad and continues to inspire all who come across her path.

Alaina had many careers before her introduction to the world of finance. She went from over 300lbs and over $100,000 in debt to a successful financial advisor, podcaster and community leader who is focused on giving people opportunities to create their best life. In Alaina's words: "I am a red seal pastry chef and followed my passion for food to a really dark place. Obesity, addictions, struggles with depression and anxiety… Carpal Tunnel forced a change in careers and thankfully it did. After baking I started in industrial sales which led to operating equipment which led to layoffs and frustrations and the opportunity to become an advisor. Now, I help people learn about money and find huge satisfaction providing education and awareness on how money works and how to live your best life." 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Track your habits 2. Spend time in reflection 3. If it isn’t worth 5x as much money to you, don’t buy it.

"We live in a culture of stress and systemic dysregulation. Stress, tension and trauma live in the body and are at the root of so many chronic health issues today. Fitness professionals are in a unique position to be boots on the ground to make a profound difference in our communities. Yet few get the training they need to help them navigate their own stress curve let alone for their clients. Bringing a focus to the work IN instead of the work OUT is a good start. " Ericka is a highly caffeinated coach, course creator and entrepreneur with a certification collection that includes a registered yoga teacher, trauma release exercise provider and health coach. She is the owner and founder of Elemental Kinetics online trauma release studio. As a refugee from the body brand nation and host of the podcast The Work IN, she offers mentorship and professional perspectives to help fitness professionals and wellness educators who want to set themselves apart using a creative, trauma-sensitive approach so that they can get lasting results for their clients and avoid burnout for themselves.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Understand and embrace your influence for yourself and others. Your energy is so powerful and you deserve the grace to protect it. 2. Cultivate curiosity about what’s going on in your body and then practice letting go of the judgement you’ve attached to it. 3. Opposites create balance so let yourself rediscover the things that bring you joy!

Tim is a survivor of sexual violence turned educator and advocate on this topic. At the age of 22, Tim faced an incident of sexual assault. On top of this, Tim had to manage the stresses of workplace sexual harassment from his boss. Coming to terms with his experience, Tim recognized how it left him feeling powerless. He vowed no one should ever feel the same way. For the last nine years, Tim has spoken with over 400 organizations, including Congressional offices, top universities, and Fortune 1000 companies worldwide. His speaking covers creating safe cultures and sexual violence/harassment prevention. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Preventing sexaul violence and harassment comes down to stopping both egregious behaviors but also being away of our own biases, values, and beliefs that either normalize or minimize sexual violence/harassment in all forms. 2. The first reaction that a survivor receives intimately matters. It is important to treat survivors with compassion, nonjudgement, and to be careful of the questions we ask them. 3. Everyone’s personal boundaries are valid. When communicating boundaries, never feel afraid or ashamed to share these and recognize that your boundaries are always valid, no context needed. You don’t have to explain your boundaries to others.

NJ Lechnir is author of Leapfrogging Success: 5 Simple Steps to Powerful Presentations and Public Speaking for Nerds, Techies and Introverts. Having struggled with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and having intense anxiety with public speaking, he decided to break out of his shell and change his life. Working as a successful Learning and Development professional, he is also founder of a revolutionary platform called The LEAPS Method, a 5 step framework that he developed and teaches in learning courses, workshops, books, articles, videos, and coaching to help anxious analytical introverts become powerful speakers and presenters. In NJ's words: "I help and teach anxious analytical introverts to become powerful speakers and presenters, improve communication skills, and develop confidence, as well as personal and professional growth. I am also in a lifelong process of healing from trauma, associated with growing up around an alcoholic father. As a result, I’ve always struggled with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Speaking about my experiences in public and letting others like me know they are not alone is helping me heal." 3 top tips for my audience: 1. You don’t have to be a perfect speaker to deliver an important message. Strive for excellence with your own style, not perfection. All speeches are a performance at the basic level. Learn to have fun with it. 2. Understanding your own personality is critical to delivering a speech topic in your own style with the most effective outcome. Extraverts don’t necessarily make great speakers, and introverts are often underestimated on how powerful they really are. 3. A lifetime of struggle with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts are no fun, but there is help, and you can develop a productive, confident, fulfilling and beautiful life on your own terms.

Rejection is a constant part of life. That does not mean that it does not hurt when you are on the receiving end. Anger, sadness and resentment are normal responses for me. From now and then I even have a pity-party. But I realize that we are talking about waves of neurochemicals that wash over my brain. And the good thing about feelings is - they don't last. So, don't give up and find a new way forward! Look after yourself!

In Gunjani's words: "In this human experience we are here to experience growth, either we passively stay victim to our circumstances or consciously create a life that comes from a place of healing, to lead a more awakened present. To master our emotions so we can control them instead of them controlling us, and be more spiritually attuned and guided to lead a heart-centred life. When we go inward and change ourselves, things around us tend to change."
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Heal and live intentionally instead of unconsciously living from your self-limiting beliefs that are not in alignment with who you are. 2. Instead of comparing yourself to others, yearn to be 1% better than you were yesterday. 3.

Chelle is passionate about creating opportunities in everything she does. That’s why when a sugar problem/addiction presented itself in her life and those around her, she found a solution. Because she also hates food waste, she started experimenting with imperfect dates about to be thrown away to create date sugar. Turns out, replacing processed sugars can impact one's physical and mental health significantly! Chelle and her family now live in the Sahara desert of North Africa where she started a business making date sugar in the community where the dates are grown. They provide above average wage jobs with benefits for women while bringing the sweet taste of PurDate sugar to the world!
Everyone knows that white processed sugar can cause a myriad of health problems including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and, most notably, obesity. For the first time in history, people are wisely taking preventative measures to improve their health by avoiding sugar or finding healthy sugar substitutes. However, choosing a healthy sugar substitute to white processed sugar can be a grueling task. Chelle is here to help you understand the difference between the many sugar options so that you can make healthier choices for radical life change that will leave you feeling your best!
3 top tips for my audience:
- We don’t have to become obsessed with food or make it the ultimate controlling thing in life. It’s about making healthy choices daily for a holistic healthy life. When it comes to sugar, you can actually enjoy sweets, guilt free, with PurDate sugar!
- When choosing food products ignore the labels on the front (these tell lies!) and go straight to the ingredients. If the first three ingredients are whole foods (not refined!) and not more than three lines long, it is probably safe to eat.
- Read my blog on healthy sugar substitutes and dangers of zero calorie sweeteners and start baking some of my recipes at www.purdate.com!

A native Detroiter, Dr. Canty, is a psychologist, writer, photographer, educator, consultant and cancer survivor. She holds a terminal degree in psychology as well as a post-doctoral fellowship from the Wayne State University School of Medicine. Then life happened. And grew dark. Her husband of 11 years went missing and was found murdered two weeks later. After the dismemberment of her husband in 1985, the media frenzy caused her to leave Michigan and start over. She did not speak of her loss for 30 years. Dr. Canty became an unintentional expert in the field of homicide survivors. Nothing in her background, nothing in the media nor books could have prepared her for the decades-long process she was about to enter.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Ask yourself what messages pop culture portrays about homicide (in music, TV, movies and merchandise like the “Cereal Killer spoon” and games). 2. As a friend or neighbour learn what you can do to help someone who has lost someone close to them from intentional death 3. Know this is an equal-opportunity club. Homicide reaches the old, young, educated, illiterate, urban, rural, men, women, rich, poor, all races and all walks of life.

In Kip's words: At eight years old, I believed the only hope for my life was suicide. I was on the honor roll throughout elementary school and received the “Student of the Month” award many times so that they stopped considering me for it in order to give other students a chance. I was smart, caring, and hardworking. Always seemed happy and willing to help so no one ever thought for a second that I was praying every night that I wouldn’t wake up the following morning.
By the time I reached middle school, my grades plummeted to Ds and Fs and that was just the beginning. At age 15, I kept a bottle of liquor stashed so I could take shots each night just to go to sleep. By the time I reached 21 years of age, I had been arrested multiple times and been involved in a life of drugs, dealing and doing.
One night as I held a gun to my head, something in me snapped and I became angry. Angry at myself, angry at the world, and angry at my situation. I was angry that I felt that way, that anyone would ever feel that way and I wanted it to stop. I vowed then and there that if there was a way out of that feeling then I was going to find it, and that once I did I would come back to get others and show them the way out too.
It was a long journey because first I had to learn to heal myself and I didn’t know where to go. I started with numerous doctors and psychologists. I spent a few years on a cocktail of medications they prescribed and realized that wasn’t working so I decided to look elsewhere.
I began working with experts in Naturopathy, Nutrition, Fitness, Shamanism, Energy Healing, Soul Healing, Regression, Neuroscience, E.F.T. (Emotional Freedom Therapy), Qigong, Tai Chi, Massage, Chiropractic, Yoga, Hypnotherapy, N.L.P. (Neuro-linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy, Psycho-Cybernetics, and M.E.R.® (Mental and Emotional Release®), and more.
I was desperate to find a solution and cure so that I could move on with my life and help others do the same. I dove so deep into these healing arts that I picked up several certifications along the path as I began using the best techniques of each to gain more and more healing.
My learnings along this journey of healing myself and my clients along with Marina’s have been combined to create our work through Brooks Empowerment Academy.
The tools that would form B.E.A. have helped me to overcome physical, emotional, and mental abuse, addiction, the loss of a child, divorce and much more. B.E.A. has saved my life and became my life’s purpose. I’ve learned that even when you feel like you’re all alone, living in your own world of solitude, you can still manifest a life of happiness and success as long as the conversations you have with yourself are focused on the goal ahead. Staying focused on that goal is more than possible and downright easy to do once the baggage is released and you understand how to communicate properly within those conversations.

In Lindsay's words: I have my own personal experience with the supernatural, an awesome spiritual awakening, ETs, angels and NDEs but when I listen to many other stories I feel like people leave out a big part of the story and that is, that their life was in hell before their experience. People are ashamed to talk about trauma, mental illness or addiction due to being ridiculed. Also, people are scared to talk about their spiritual awakenings or supernatural experiences when there is addiction involved. I believe that we don't need to be ashamed of where we have been or what has been done to us. It is about how we recover from these events.. We don't need to live in the shadows and act that this stuff doesn't exist or if someone has an experience that is incredible that we downplay their story if they mention mental health, addiction or trauma. In any sort of recovery whether is be from PTSD, mental illness, abuse, addiction etc. You will find that all have the same outcome: a spiritual awakening.. When we live in the darkness it is the light that leads us back home. I am a survivor of a long list of traumas. I was molested at age six along with other children and had to watch this man get convicted. This led me on a path of addiction, loss of self, domestic violence. I was raped at 18 and gang rape at 33. When I was in the army in 2011 my molester from childhood got out of prison and went on to molest other children again and we were told we might have to testify again as adults.. I have had to testify on stand against my perpetrator for the rape in which he received a life sentence. I was told by different doctors that I had bipolar disorder, manic depression, borderline personality, PTSD, and social anxiety just to name a few. I have struggled with self mutilation, suicidal ideation and guilt and shame for most of my life. I went to college, got a bachelor's degree, joined the Army but still lost my career because of addiction. I have been incarcerated as an adult where all my flaws were seen. I was humiliated, flooded by shame, guilt and no self love. I searched for that missing piece in me by drugs, people pleasing and unhealthy relationships. When the worst was over and I hit rock bottom and tried to take my life the first time I had the most beautiful experience a spiritual awakening and encounters with the supernatural. I knew the healing was beginning. In jan 2021 I had a NDE in which I did go to another place and that I had to come back. I believe my purpose is to tell my story to bring hope to the ones who feel hopeless, unloved, broken, ashamed, disconnected or alone know that they too can shine bright after the darkness. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Your past if not who you are it's just an experience 2. You need to break patterns of self sabotage 3. You need to wake up

For 13 years Nicole lived the dream, leading teams around the world for a multinational Tech company. Until one day she woke up burned out. And if that wouldn’t be enough, let’s throw a herniated disk on top of it, so she was not only rendered aimless, but motionless and somewhat speechless. She had to relearn to say YES TO HERSELF first. And creativity and movement taught her how to do that: How to connect with herself and others. How to let go of attachment, old beliefs and stories, and open her heart to new possibilities, without shame or guilt. Nicole is on a mission to support women to know and trust their head, heart, and body to transform limiting beliefs and create choices that will bring their lives and careers to new heights. Her international experience managing diverse teams at Google, along with her innate understanding of human behavior and motivation, has made her a sought-after manager and coach throughout her career.
She is the creator and teacher of corporate and public workshops: The Wisdom of Saying No / Yes - Honor Yourself First, Wellbeing@Work, Emotional Wellbeing in Uncertain Times, Uniquely You.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. PAUSE: Breathe - Create Space (Time and Distance) - Respond 2. Trust your head, heart and body as your best guide and source of wisdom 3. There are no negative emotions, just emotions. And they are all valid and important.

Trauma Made me do it. Believe it or not we all experience some sort of trauma throughout our lifetime. Some of us, like me, may have already experienced it and some of us have not yet. Regardless of what or when, our belief system, reactions, and behaviors are all direct results of these experiences. It’s time to take life back into our own hands by rewiring our brain away from trauma, limiting beliefs, and the standards / stigmas from today's society and moving toward a more aligned lifestyle. One that's validated from our own stories, our own standards, and our own experiences. It wasn’t until about six months to a year after my trauma that I finally regained consciousness of what my life had come to. Looking into my life I had completely hit rock bottom; addicted to alcohol, drugs, toxicity, and a total adrenaline junkie. I had completely lost control over both my mind and body. Realizing that I was in the midst of rock bottom, I knew that I had to make a change. Allowing myself to finally be vulnerable with myself I learned the beauty behind my mental Illnesses, the power behind my story, the _____ in my truth, and the potential in rock bottom.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. There is no hierarchy of trauma; no trauma is bigger, more impactful, more traumatizing, or worse than another and is not bound by guidelines. 2. Your behaviors, reactions and beliefs are based on your own experiences; So stop seeking validation from others 3. You can not heal what you are not ready to face; stop silencing your truth for the sake of other comfort.

Cathy, a self-proclaimed “recovering depressive”, is working on creating a new blogging platform where she will discuss ideas, quotes and popular expressions that have resonated with her and that have helped her to keep a positive perspective on life despite depression. It’s all about her desire to keep a positive mindset to achieve her own form of happiness, which may help many depressives who struggle alone. Cathy Jean-François is a high school and middle school English teacher in NYC, but her first love and passion is writing. From December 2014 to September 2019 she created and maintained a blog called "The True Confessions of a Reluctant Bachelorette" (www.thereluctantbachelorette.com) where she discussed the hilarity and sometimes heartbreak of being a single woman of a certain age. She then went on to launch her second blog in November 2019 after she married, calling it "Tighed the Knot: A Newlywed's Thoughts on Navigating the Married Life" (www.tighedtheknot.com). There, she shared some compelling stories of being a newlywed. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Create! When you’re feeling down, do something that you love and that can draw you completely into your happy place. 2. Laugh! Watch or listen to something that makes you laugh and laugh. Or watch an action movie that pulls you into the excitement! 3. Talk! Try to find someone you trust that you can talk to. It might be a friend, a sibling, a relative or even a therapist.

40 Thieves on Saipan is the thrilling, untold WWII story of an elite platoon of Marines: the Sixth Marine Regiment’s Scout-Snipers—nicknamed the “Forty Thieves” by their peers. The platoon’s unique skills in stealth, deadly hand-to-hand combat, and reconnaissance behind enemy lines helped gain a critical victory in the Pacific theatre. Written by the son of their leader, Lieutenant “Ski”, this inspiring narrative was composed from years of research and face-to-face interviews with the surviving Thieves.
Joseph Tachovsky is the author of 40 Thieves on Saipan and the son of the platoon’s leader. Graduating with degrees in English Literature, Theater and Art History made him perfectly qualified for a life in the hospitality trade. Based in Minneapolis, his restaurant creations have earned reviews and mentions in Food and Wine, Bon Appetit, Esquire, The Rolling Stone, The New York Times and Jim Harrison’s The Raw and The Cooked.

Bobby Hedglin-Taylor “The multi Hyphenated artist”. Trapeze artist-actor-dancer-singer- acrobat - impressionist-author- officiant- aerial sequence choreographer- stand up comic - mixologist - teacher - coach. In Bobby's words: "It was very telling being called the “multi-hyphenated artist”. I’ve done so many different creative things with my life and I will always be an artist no matter what medium of art I use or canvas. If I am using a pen and paper, a stage, a microphone, a trapeze or a cocktail shaker I am an artist first and foremost. (See my full bio below) Not just dabbling in other art forms but successful both artistically and financially in all of those platforms. I’m comfortable wearing the title. It suits me. :) 2020 was a painful year for me. The pandemic began with the governor shutting down visitation to nursing homes and I wasn’t able to visit my mother who had been a resident of a local nursing home here for 5 years. Two days later Broadway shut down and my boss called me and said we’re shutting down for 2 weeks. 11 days later, my mother died in the nursing home. There was no covid test to give the actual cause of death, but with her symptoms leading up to her death, I’m confident in saying that it was not a coincidence when she passed and what I believe she died from. Losing my mother was huge. She was my best friend and my hero. She died on March 21st. The morning of March 22nd I woke up with a fever of 104, body aches, headache like an anvil sitting on my temple and I couldn’t smell or taste anything. Yes, I had Covid19. Terrified and isolated, I retreated and took care of myself until I could figure out and navigate a way to get through it. Fighting for my own life now, in my waking hours that I could focus and function I began to write." The end result: Bobby is the Author of 2 books-
ShitMyMamaSays (available on Amazon) and
Escape to Ravioli Mountain-a memoir in food (coming this fall).
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Laugh every day no matter what 2. Save 10% or ⅓ of your income always! 3. Don’t be in show business for the money, because there isn’t any. Be in it because you LOVE IT.

Doree O’Neal is an author, an inspirational speaker, and a recovery coach, helping women that have recovered from addiction to find the lives they got sober for. She is a strong believer that we are on this earth to not just survive but thrive. Her first book, Seriously? How I Went from a Hot Mess to a Daring Bad Ass, was her way of sharing her personal experiences with alcoholism and recovery, surviving an abusive relationship, and how she let go of self-destructive behaviours. Through her own healing process, she was also able to discover her joy and happiness. In Doree's words: "Congratulations! You have given up drinking. You are feeling good physically and the fog has cleared. Then there comes an epiphany: I am sober, but the underlying problems are still there. Some may ask, “Why am I not happy? I got sober for this?”. My answer is “Yes!” But you do not have to figure this out alone! I am here to show you how to live and thrive in a life of recovery. Time to leave behind the hot mess, be daring and become the badass you were always meant to be!" 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Do not be afraid to give up things/ people that no longer suit you. 2.

Dylan is a TEDx Speaker and Addiction Recovery Advocate. His mission is to work with individuals and organizations to increase engagement in the addiction recovery process and improve long-term outcomes. He also likes to dance and do karaoke. In Dylan's words: "Addiction is a chronic state of isolation, disconnection, and suppression. We can liken it to living in the dark. When we are living in the dark, we are living in an absence of light; of information. Expression is the road on which we reconnect to ourselves and the world. It’s the way in which we turn the lights back on. By creating a safe culture for authentic expression, we make it possible for therapeutic experiences to occur. These experiences, grounded in self-expression, and contained in a safe way, drastically improve metrics associated with recovery: connection, vitality, wellbeing." 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Expression is the antidote to suppression (and disconnection) 2. Expression happens in the body, not the mind 3. Community is an essential ingredient

Kara Fernstrom: doer of things. Kara is a complex person with a complicated past. Less of an expert, and more of a lifelong learner, Kara spends all of her extra moments exploring wellbeing, happiness, and recording these fascinating conversations for the world to hear. A double whammy of vulnerability exposure therapy and tangible lessons and thoughts, her podcast, The Conquest of Bliss has literally transformed her life. Outside of the podcast, Kara spends her days making art, practising self-care, and trying to make the world a little nicer through relationships and interactions with other people. In Kara's words: Happiness and Well-being are big subjects with far-reaching consequences. Unravelling these ideas can be (and is, for many) a full-time job. Positive psychology, mindfulness, and self-compassion are all finally coming into vogue, but where do you find the time to sort out what all of these different ideas mean? Curiously, the curse of chronic illness, and consequently getting forced out of the workforce, blessed Kara with exactly that: time. And oh boy has she learned some fascinating things about happiness and is always excited to share them!
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Self compassion is key. How would you want someone to treat your best friend? Shouldn't you treat your best friend's best friend that way? 2. Read about how the brain works. Neuroscience, psychology, and similar studies help to unravel things that feel super mysterious. 3. Practice mindfulness to start understanding how your specific brain works. Mindfulness helps to clarify things that get clouded in emotion and trauma.

Lydia Knorr has over two decades in the health and wellness industry, with the greatest part of her career, working in media. She has combined her passion for well-being and people engagement to provide coaching programs in the areas of personal growth, connection to self, and positive change. She helps others get to the heart of what truly matters to them and demonstrates how becoming more of themselves, not less, is exactly what the world needs. Lydia says that honoring our own uniqueness and extending that out into the world is the reason we are all here. In Lydia's words: Our personal stories are as unique as a fingerprint. Whether filled with hope, despair, victories, losses, darkness, or light, they are a collection of the lessons we’ve learned, the wisdom we’ve gained, and the growth we’ve experienced. They enable us to connect the dots of our lives, and create a roadmap to see how we arrived at the place we are today. This provides us with a depth of understanding about our own uniqueness that can be used as a gift and a guide for creating a window into our future and making our mark on the world.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Practice self-awareness and get really honest with yourself about who you are and what you want from this life. 2. Adapt a positive mindset by looking for the silver linings in every situation, even when it’s hard. Ask yourself: What’s good about this situation? What can I learn from it? Is there something about this situation I can be grateful for? Hint: the answer is almost always a resounding YES. 3. Live in alignment with the things you value most, and you will get the most out of living.

Dianne Simboro is a Master Coach, Trainer, Behavioural Profiler and Hypnotherapist. She established Family Violence Mindset Solutions and How to Thrive After Family Violence to teach survivors of family violence strategies to fast-track their recovery process and how to recognise the strategies of perpetrators of violence. Dianne had an interracial marriage and started out in a small West African country where she didn’t speak the language, didn’t understand the culture and stood out in a crowd. But in just 12 months she created a successful but small Art Business starting from scratch, all while being pregnant with her first daughter. After an abusive marriage that lasted 27 years and another 10 years spent working with survivors of family violence, Dianne found that once women were able to recognise the strategies used by their abusers, they had the tools needed to eliminate all of the hooks that were once used as a means of control over them and they could avoid getting caught again. But it became very clear to Dianne that new love and the early stages of abuse are almost identical and it was necessary to help women clearly distinguish the difference between the two. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. If a man sounds almost too good to be true, he probably is. 2. Switch on your head and switch off your heart before deciding to commit to a new relationship. 3. Say “no” early and stand back and watch - because abusers don’t like the word “no”.

After having successfully run several businesses including a children’s yoga and art centre, and an online business management consultancy - Lisa Kelly now coaches by offering transformative programs 'In The Art Of Living Your Dreams' through her business - Life Unlimited. Her own life journey from career to entrepreneur as a single mother - while getting sober, has not always been easy but with a profound shift in mindset and a commitment to becoming the best version of herself, she has been able to find purpose and passion inspiring others to find the courage to make the inner changes necessary for external transformation.
In Lisa’s words: “Our external world is a reflection of our internal world.... Your whole life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go on in your head… By understanding how powerful our subconscious mind is, we can release old programming, BELIEVE that anything is possible, harness our infinite potential and leverage the support of the Universe. “ Lisa’s 3 top tips: 1. You don’t have to know HOW the big dream is going to manifest. You worry about the ‘what’ - let the Universe take care of the ‘how’. 2. Act as if you’re already your future self - behave and make decisions from that place of ‘already being there’.
- If you’re in a place of ‘I don’t even know what I want’, or lacking clarity on a big vision, then start from the place of ‘how do I want to FEEL’? This will start to bring desires into focus.

How do we deal with this? I am going to suggest that yoga may just be the answer I want to talk to you about that!"

In Isabel's words: I’m a Cuban/American and I have been a medical doctor since 1991. The only reason I went into the medical field was because I wanted to help people. I wanted to get to the root of the dis-ease, not just throw a Band-Aid on it. My patients weren't getting any better, they were just existing. My goal is to see people healed. In 2000, my husband, and our two young daughters moved to New Zealand to see what it’s like to experience a different culture of the world. Yes, we had never been there, or even knew where it was. What a crazy, and life- changing decision for our family! After the first 20 years of being a medical doctor, in the last 10 years I have been studying Functional Medicine, which focuses on the root cause of disease and its treatments. My husband, Culinary Nutrition Expert, Chef Michael, and I created the brand of Doctoronamission, where we prevent and reverse disease and give hope. Our expertise is in Alzheimers, Dementa, Cognitive Decline, Anxiety, Depression, and Diabetes. We have been doing Tele-Medicine for the past 7 Years with our online business of Doctoronamission.com where we offer online courses and 1x1 coaching. And so here we are together. Let's start walking together, and I'll share with you what worked for me and can also work for you. I want to give you hope.

For over 20 years, Ed was a senior business consultant for Fortune 500 and global companies throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Ed is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and in 2018, he started a nonprofit called 'MeToo, WhatNow.’ He is driven to help survivors of any kind of childhood abuse and trauma rebuild their lives. In 2016, he filed a public lawsuit against one of his abusers. He's currently producing a documentary about the experience. His central platform is YouTube, where he creates videos to connect with other survivors and build community. In Ed's words: "The most powerful step in a survivor's journey is connecting with other survivors and sharing their stories. When this happens, it makes a significant difference in many areas of their lives, including their ability to help other survivors. We need a paradigm shift in how we are taught to treat ourselves and others as we go through this process. Most survivors I've spoken with over the years tell me how much it meant to them. In some cases, it even saved their lives by talking to another survivor who understands. The big question is, "When is the right time?"
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Learn how to ‘Locate yourself.’ I.e. self-actualization and awareness. 2. “You’re not alone” sounds nice, but find a community where you’re safe, accepted, and you can thrive. 3. In life, you get to be whatever you want to be. Don’t let your past define you. Look at yourself in the mirror for who you used to be and learn how to define who you want to become.

Theresa is the author of Silent Moms: Healing Our Wounded Souls - a mother's journey through grief and loss. Her journey reveals to us the pain and burden of secrets and unresolved grief. Pregnant at 18, she left her family and small town to live amongst strangers in a maternity home. Months later, she gave birth, relinquished her son, and departed alone, hoping to begin a new life. Instead, she found herself derailed by emotions she could not face and by losses that continued to accumulate. The lack of tools and knowledge needed to address her grief left her ill prepared which led to more destructive behaviours and emotions that lasted for years. This has been the driving force behind Theresa's book - wanting to help others struggling with their adoption experience, whether it was 3 years ago or 30. Her book is a guide for anyone struggling with a loss—someone who feels stuck but desires a better path for their lives. You will find: the courage to acknowledge and accept your situation; a willingness to define, address, and truly feel all of your emotions; the work needed for forgiveness; the strength to discover who you really are (without the baggage); and the determination to see the process through to find peace.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Most important is self-care as you go through your healing journey. It will be an emotional roller coaster, knowing what to do on the tough days. 2. Tools to support you through your journey (mementos, journaling, sharing, connecting) 3. Grief is not linear; it is a process. Grief is not something you get over. It’s learning to address at different stages in our lives, as it may come up time and again.

In Shannon's words: Our journey as a family along the bumpy road of addiction, mental illness and recovery.

In Emile's words: Throughout my whole life, I had this little voice in my head that always told me I am not good enough or I can't do this. This made making changes in my life almost impossible, the more I tried to change the more I failed, I couldn't understand why can't make changes stick. Until I was in my early to mid 20's I discovered that if I want to make the changes stick, I have to change that little voice, with the help of mentors and coaches I found a way to change that little voice which changed everything else. I grew up having extremely low self-esteem even though I had the most amazing parents, I always felt lonely in school and around my friends, I had this voice in my head that always told me no one liked me, they only felt sorry for me that is why they kept me around. When I was 24, I discovered where that little voice came from and how it controlled my life. When I changed it, my whole life changed, now I help other people overcome their little voice so they can become their best hero and do what they love.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Become very conscious of your thoughts and phrases. (write them down) 2. Ask yourself what feeling did that thought triggered? 3. Work on changing your top 3 limiting thoughts and phrases. Connect with Emile: Facebook - Emile Matthee LinkedIn - Emile Matthee

Lydia Knorr has over two decades in the health and wellness industry, with the greatest part of her career, working in media. She has combined her passion for well-being and people engagement to provide coaching programs in the areas of personal growth, connection to self and positive change. She helps others get to the heart of what truly matters to them and demonstrates how becoming more of themselves, not less, is exactly what the world needs. Lydia says that honoring our own uniqueness and extending that out into the world is the reason we are all here. In Lydia's words: Our personal stories are as unique as a fingerprint. Whether filled with hope, despair, victories, losses, darkness, or light, they are a collection of the lessons we’ve learned, the wisdom we’ve gained, and the growth we’ve experienced. They enable us to connect the dots of our lives, and create a roadmap to see how we arrived at the place we are today. This provides us with a depth of understanding about our own uniqueness that can be used as a gift and a guide for creating a window into our future and making our mark on the world.
3 top tips for my audience: 1. Practice self-awareness and get really honest with yourself about who you are and what you want from this life. 2. Adapt a positive mindset by looking for the silver linings in every situation, even when it’s hard. Ask yourself: What’s good about this situation? What can I learn from it? Is there something about this situation I can be grateful for? Hint: the answer is almost always a resounding YES. 3. Live in alignment with the things you value most, and you will get the most out of living.

Additionally, Scott offers Leadership Transformation services helping executives and managers recognize their organization’s performance thresholds and how to counter polluted circumstances while reducing stress and burnout. In Scott's words: Little did I realize how many directions one’s life could go. As a child, I dreamed of exploring the world over. Serving in 2 combat tours at 18 years old forced me to grow up quicker than others. Experiencing death gave me a different outlook on the value of life. Promising myself to live my life to the fullest, I sought a life that would keep me moving, learning. Working unthinkable projects in harsh conditions, until I couldn’t. Leading to my death. Why this and the ensuing depression happened is how I created my TIME | LIFE | SELF program.

In the 1980s, Craig Brown, Author of Stop Hiding Start Healing, lived the high life. He worked for one of the biggest cocaine dealers on the east coast and partied with music moguls and professional athletes while self-medicating on drugs and alcohol.
Brown is now walking in his God-given purpose and has led thousands of others to freedom as a Recovery Pastor in the Washington, D.C. area. He has helped countless families find wholeness and healing for their loved ones struggling with pain and shame. Today, in the midst of an opioid epidemic, mental health crisis, and a pandemic, Brown felt the call of God to share his story and vast knowledge of recovery with as many people as possible.
Brown’s message could not be more timely. In 2019, nearly 50,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. In 2017, 1.7 million people suffered from substance abuse disorders related to opioids. Unfortunately, drug abuse has a stigma that prevents many from getting the help they need, and family members are often at a loss with how to assist in the road to recovery. According to Brown, most seek help because of their pain, not their addiction. Brown shares life-saving counsel to Christians and communities grappling with these mental health issues. Brief Bio (100 words max.) Please make it well crafted and concise.
Craig is a public speaker and author, as well as the Recovery Pastor and Director at Church of the Redeemer in Gaithersburg, MD, since 1999. In his 20+ years as a Recovery Pastor, he has helped thousands of people, including business owners and professional leaders, to find the healing and freedom from shame in Christ that delivers us from pain, guilt, and shame. He is a former radio Local Sales Manager at Salem Communications WAVA 105.1 FM. Craig lives in the Washington DC area with his wife and three sons.

There are few books that have shocked me as much as Gloria Masters' "On Angels' Wings: My flight from trauma to grace".

Laurell Eden is a pioneering health and weight loss coach for mind and body. After learning cutting-edge food hacks that can kickstart metabolism, she lost 20 pounds off her own body in just 7 weeks and 5 inches off her waist overall. Laurell teaches her clients these same techniques so they can lose up to 30 pounds in the first 10 weeks and finally learn to lose weight for good. Participants in her 12 week program experience a boost in energy levels, relief from sugar cravings, brain fog and joint pain. Some have gotten off blood pressure and diabetes medicine. In Laurell's words: Ever wonder why diets fail? Or why so many dieters gain even more weight back? There's a fundamental misperception that keeps us fat and sick. When it comes to real-life weight loss, the concept of calories is a BIG FAT LIE. We think that 100 calories of roasted beets or guacamole or baked potato will behave the same way metabolically in our bodies, and that a calorie is a calorie. This is completely false. Eating certain foods consistently will force the body to store fat. To lose weight for good, you have to know which foods don't contribute to weight gain. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Eat foods that have a low GI rating. Here's why: Sugar isn't fattening because of calories. Sugar is fattening because it damages your metabolism. 2. Eat only foods with a GI rating of 16 and under for 5 weeks. When you eat these foods you can eat until your stomach feels full which makes it super easy to lose weight. You don't have to be hungry! 3. If you stop eating sugar and fast acting carbohydrates for two weeks, sugar cravings disappear. Sugar cravings are NOT caused by a personal failing or lack of will power. They are biologically driven! When the body knows sugar is available, you will crave it. if you stop eating it, it's proven that the cravings diminish. This is what all my clients experience.

What inspired Wendy Rose Williams to move from a conservative career as an MBA to become a Past Life Adventure Guide? How did a profound encounter with a ghost that lasted over twenty years combine with Wendy’s two NDEs culminate in meeting the man who would wake her up spiritually? What happened during Wendy’s own past-life regression sessions as the client that would motivate her training with Dr. Brian Weiss (“Many Lives, Many Masters”) and other leaders in the field to be able to help others release the energy that doesn’t serve them? Wendy Rose Williams had two Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) while pregnant. She met her Angels for the first time while home alone when an organ ruptured. Meeting the soul mate Wendy contracted with to 'wake her up spiritually' led to Dr. Michael Newton’s 'Journey of Souls.’ These events in tandem triggered a rapid and profound spiritual awakening. The remarkable difference in Wendy's quality of life from healing her own past lives inspired her to serve others as an energy healer. Wendy is a Certified Spiritual Teacher as well as Reiki Master, author and speaker. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. We can all discover and do our best to live our life purpose 2. Having a daily spiritual practice such as meditation can immeasurably improve your life! 3.

Julie Paulston is a transformational life coach who uses humour, life experience and strategies learned in her 31 years in recovery to empower women to reclaim their Divine inner phoenix. To rise from the ashes of their lives and rediscover who they were before the world told them who they should be. She has been a speaker and educator for over 10 years and has her own podcast Be the Phoenix of Your Own Life. Her courses give real-life, practical ways to learn, grow and live a life of purpose. In her own words: We were all born enough, we were all born Divinely inspired. We chose this path to overcome obstacles and create the life of our dreams. Somewhere along the way, we lost our focus and our direction. We allowed the voices of the outside to become louder than our inner knowing. We started using substances to dull the pain of losing our way. We started using alcohol to stop feeling the loss, the grief and the knowledge that we were destined for more. We adapted the role of victim and gave our dreams, hopes and inspiration to the bottle, the pills, and to the people in our lives hoping it would bring comfort. We gave our power away hoping for connection and a sense of belonging. It is time to remember who you are. It is time to remember your Divinity, your power and the reason you are here. 3 top tips: 1. Breathe, it is a moment. It will pass. It may feel like a kidney stone but it will pass. 2. Don’t do it on your own. There is power in connecting with those who are where you want to be. 3. Stop watching the news!! It stands for Nothing Ever Worth Seeing!!!! Positive in/positive out!

I have the pleasure of talking to Janet Gourand, the founder of Tribe Sober. In Janet's words: Tribe Sober’s mission is to inspire an alcohol-free life. Over the last 5 years, we have built a community of people who are changing their relationship with alcohol. We have sober people, people who are struggling, people who are well on their way and of course newbies. The beautiful thing is we are all helping each other to get (or stay) on track. We provide workshops, coaching and challenges – but most of all we offer community. Connection is the opposite of addiction and that’s why having a tribe works so well. Our community is based on a membership program that offers a Chatroom, a Zoom Cafe, Sober Buddies, a Library, a Yoga Studio, Nutritional and Medical advice – and much more...

The Addicted Child is a parent’s guide to adolescent substance abuse. It guides parents through the maze of teen addiction and gives them a roadmap to help their child through the diagnosis, treatment and recovery process. In Rick's words: I have worked with adults and adolescents diagnosed with psychiatric and substance abuse disorders. I recently retired from Menninger Clinic in Houston Texas which is one of the nation’s top ten psychiatric hospitals. While at Menninger I worked with adults and adolescents diagnosed with psychiatric and substance use disorders. Rick's 3 top tips 1. Mental health issues and substance abuse often accompany each other. It is important that both be treated. A treatment plan that addresses only the substance abuse but ignores the mental health issues is a treatment plan that is likely to fail 2. When a child is abusing alcohol or drugs it's important that parents obtain a comprehensive assessment that focuses not just on the substance use but also any accompanying mental health issues. The assessment must be comprehensive and address medical, psychological and addictions issues 3. Parents should carefully monitor their child and be aware of any changes they see. It’s important that parents stay tuned to changes in their child’s behaviours, attitudes, school performance and peers. Changes in these can sometimes signal a child who may be using substances.

Spiking is a hugely under-reported problem that affects people the world over. Whether done by a friend as a ‘prank’, or with the intention of committing a far more serious offence, it’s wrong: we all have a right to know exactly what we’re putting into our bodies. That’s why Dawn established StopTopps, a UK-based nonprofit on a mission to stamp out drink spiking. She’s passionate about keeping vulnerable drinkers safe from opportunists and wants everyone to understand the dangers of drink spiking. Dawn Dines is the founder of Safe Original Style UK (SOS UK), the non-profit community interest company behind StopTopps. Dawn is passionate about empowering young people to keep themselves safe, by running educational workshops on alcohol & drug awareness, knife crime & anti-social behaviour cyberbullying and internet safety. She has also worked with local authorities, supporting children in care and in secure units. Dawn first pitched the idea of anti-drink-spiking lids on the BBC series Dragon’s Den and took the advice of Peter Jones that it would be more effective as a social enterprise, hence the creation of SOS UK..

Quite frankly, Angela is no one important. If you were to ask what she does or how she identifies, she would most likely say mom. In the last few years, she has noticed divisiveness amongst groups and wants to show the world how similar we all are in our suffering and our joy. She does that with her podcast Relatively Damaged. In addition to the podcast she hopes to effect real policy changes for those who are disabled in the United States where, when one becomes so disabled they need in-home-care, they become a hostage to their home. Angela Talent is the mother of two. At the age of 35 she was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) which would rob her of the use of her hands and limit her ability to walk. At the beginning of 2021 she realized she could use her ability to listen and have meaningful conversations to show the world how uniquely beautiful the human experience is. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Notice the beauty around you 2. Remember to breathe 3. Find time to laugh

Amber Miller’s mother and grandmother were both alcoholics. Even after orchestrating her mother’s funeral at the age of 22, Amber struggled for years with her own drinking issues.

Sue Curr literally spent her whole life traveling life’s loneliest of roads; that of mental ill health as a result of what she deems to be an at times ‘traumatic’ childhood. It was to become a journey which by late September 2012 had descended into near fatal, full blown alcoholism. And saw her admitted to hospital as an emergency, where her family were told to prepare for the worst – she was dying!
Much to everyone’s astonishment including her own Sue survived and in doing so took her first tentative steps toward sobriety and becoming finally free of her demons.
In her words:
The stories we tell ourselves are powerful beyond belief & if we’re not incredibly careful they get us into trouble a lot. On September 26th, 2012, the story I’d been telling myself for my whole life caused me to be admitted to hospital as an emergency with end-stage liver failure. Of course, the five bottles of wine per day I’d been drinking for far too many years up to that point had a great deal to do with that, but it took a six week battle to stay alive before I realised what an idiot I’d been.
Sue's 3 top tips
-
- When we reframe our story, we can reboot our mindset & reclaim the life that is ours alone to live
-
- We and we alone have the power to take a chance to choose to change at any given point in time
-
- The need to have a WHY that is bigger than all our shoulds & musts put together

Once upon a time, not long before her 18th birthday, Amy Oestreicher was a young woman full of hope and promise, with plans for college and dreams of Broadway. One week before her senior prom, a blood clot changed everything. In agonizing pain, she was rushed to the hospital—where her stomach exploded, literally. Both of her lungs collapsed. After months in a coma, Amy woke up to learn she might never eat or drink again. Eventually, she had 27 surgeries to salvage and replace her digestive system.
Today, nearly 15 years later, Amy Oestreicher is grateful for that “explosion”—her first of six difficult but wonderful life-changing “detours.” In her debut book, MY BEAUTIFUL DETOUR: An Unthinkable Journey from Gutless to Grateful (Singing Tree Publishing; November 19, 2019; ISBN-13: 978-17333138819) author Amy Oestreicher shares her incredible story of trauma and transformation. She also shares the beliefs and practices that took her from barely surviving to thriving—and blazing her own trails as a “Detourist.”
“A Detourist looks for the upside of obstacles,” Amy explains. “A Detourist follows that twisted path because they’re curious to see where it could lead. In addition, a Detourist embraces those unexpected routes as opportunities for growth, change, and self-fulfillment.”
Part memoir and part self-help guide, MY BEAUTIFUL DETOUR recounts Amy’s major detours—from her medical trauma to having her identity shattered to the return of memories of another trauma she thought she had buried: being sexually molested by a trusted mentor. As she acknowledges, she was hurt, betrayed, and broken—physically and emotionally. But her passion and determination stayed strong.
A gifted storyteller, Amy writes with honesty, heart, and humor (yes, her book, which she describes as a “fun read” is filled with amusing adventures—like the time she “escaped” from the hospital for a shopping spree). She is also an amazing teacher. With MY BEAUTIFUL DETOUR to light the way, readers will learn how to:
-
Turn creativity into a force for healing, with insight into the power of artistic expression—whether in the form of sketching, painting, singing, dancing, acting, or writing—in alleviating pain and recovering from trauma.
-
To tap into the courage to find your own uniqueness and dare to reject the path you always thought you wanted and redefine the person you always thought you were.
-
Be grateful for what you take for granted (after years of being nourished by feeding tubes, Amy savored her first sips of water) and for the hardships and setbacks that give you the opportunity to rethink, rebound, and reinvent yourself.
-
Connect to, inspire, and lead others through storytelling. By sharing your stories, you touch hearts, open minds, enrich your community, honor the ideas you believe in, and pass on the lessons you have learned.
Amy Oestreicher is living proof that even the most unwelcome and painful detour can lead to unexpected blessings. MY BEAUTIFUL DETOUR is a testament to her spirit and resilience—and her gift to those struggling to survive and find their way.
An estimated 70 percent of adults in the United States have experienced a traumatic event at least once in their lives and up to 20 percent of these people go on to develop posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. An estimated 5 percent of Americans—more than 13 million people—have PTSD at any given time.
Amy Oestreicher was one of them. So, what happens when an ordinary teenager has to turn into a warrior just to survive? And can the journey through Post Traumatic Stress Disorder really become an “adventure?”
Amy had ambitious plans for college and a Broadway career, until her stomach exploded the week before her senior prom. Months later, she awoke from a coma to learn that she might never be able to eat or drink again. After years on IV nutrition, her first bite of food awakened her senses to life's ordinary miracles but also brought back memories of being sexually abused by a trusted mentor for months, just before the unexpected rush to the emergency room that fateful Passover night. With determination, imagination, relentless resilience, and an inner “hunger” for life, Amy created a roadmap where none existed. Her journey through life's unthinkable detours is nothing short of miraculous, but the creative path to healing she forged is accessible to anyone. As a survivor—and “thriver”—of abuse and extensive medical trauma, Amy discovered sources of resilience she didn’t know she had but it turns out we all possess. In this book, she creates a tapestry made from each of each thread of her journey, empowering others to find gratitude in every setback and discover their own infinite inner strength. Amy’s search for “home” proves to be the greatest test of cultivating resilience after near-death, and reclaiming identity after both sexual assault and medical trauma. Amy’s journey is ultimately a celebration of ordinary and extraordinary challenges and miracles.
In this coming of age story, Amy shares her struggles and discoveries living with both visible and invisible illness, the tremendous gifts to be reaped from trauma, its lessons which have illuminated her path, and how these gifts can be discovered as a unique, yet universal way to navigate any kind of uncertainty.
Interwoven through her remarkable story are insights on navigating any kind of uncertainty, including:
- What is a “detourist”– and why is it important to take those detours?
- The importance of detours for college students
- How to transition from being a “survivor” to a “thriver”
- Amy's" Four Hardcore Skills" to resilience
- Finding your own uniqueness not through what’s happened to you, but what you choose to do with it
- The power of art to heal: five ways to incorporate art in your healing process
- Our innate ability to be artists, and why creativity is an essential mindset
- Why sharing your story is imperative to healing, and how to creativity to reframe your narrative
- How humor is a way through
- Turn messes, mistakes and setbacks into creative detours
My Beautiful Detour offers practical strategies for individuals and unexpected tools for the families of trauma survivors, helping communities build new, limitless futures. The book includes numerous “trauma insights,” and is enriched with humor, art, poetry, and useful takeaways for readers. Reading one woman’s heroic adventure through trauma, recovery, and discovery of new directions in healing the body and the mind is an empowering tale of not just getting through, but thriving.

In Nancy's words: I am dedicated peaking honestly and openly about taboo subjects, the traumas in my personal life story (sexual abuse, eating disorder, depression, dropping out of college, divorce, therapy...etc.) while creating safe space for others to do the same. I tell my story so that others have permission to tell theirs. I tell my story so that people who can find me when they need someone who can understand in a way only someone who has been there can.
Nancy has more than 20 years experience working as a Speech Language Pathologist focusing on the area of Social Cognition. She is passionate about her work, which helps individuals connect meaningfully with others and build community by strengthening communication skills. She brings this same passion to audiences when she bravely engages in conversations regarding her personal trauma, her healing ‘Spartan Race” and the tools she has gained that allow her to do more than survive.

She has conducted live (virtual) workshops and been a featured guest and speaker on live shows, podcasts and fundraising events.
Nancy's 3 top tips 1. Show-up, no matter where you are in your journey or how you’re feeling! 2. Expect life to be very ‘NOT Sexy’ at times. It is often ugly and snotty. 3. We all have important stories to tell. Share your story. Use your voice. Be heard.

To honor International Women's Day on the 8th of March I am talking to Mila Johansen, a public speaker, writing coach, teacher, and writer. She is the author of five books. She is a writing coach and has a new book coming out—21 Surprising Tips to Promote Your Book. She loves giving people permission to write their Short Book and teaches them how to do it. The Short Book can be used by entrepreneurs to become the expert in their field, to be a calling card or the outline for a longer book. Mila has published a book, From Cowgirl to Congress, available on Amazon and in bookstores, about her famous suffragette grandmother, Jessie Haver Butler, for the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote in August 2020. Mila lives on her organic citrus ranch in Northern California with her husband, four dogs and a cat.
Growing up in unimaginable situations as a child does not define you. Take inspiration from these stories of two women who overcame extreme poverty and dangers as children to go on to enjoy successful careers helping people in all walks of life. In the new book, From Cowgirl to Congress, Jessie Butler escaped a Colorado cattle ranch to become the 1st woman lobbyist in D.C. after putting together the Pulitzer School of Journalism. She went on to share the podium several times with Bernard Shaw and Eleanor Roosevelt. And later, in her early 90s, with Gloria Steinem and Marlo Thomas. Her granddaughter, Mila Johansen, who grew up in gangland, tells both their stories. No matter what your background, you can change the next chapter of your story and live your passion.
Mila's 3 top tips:
- Start -Just Start Or Start - Just Start--whatever your dream is.
- Write for 20 Min a Day Or Be inspired by other people’s stories
- Look at what others are writing in books, bios & descriptions or You are Enough!

Today I interview Pei-Ming Sun, an amazing woman that has reinvented herself from Taiwanese micro- and molecular biologist to stay-home single mother, small business owner as a real estate investor, a cooking instructor, a food truck operator, a small restaurant owner, then now an online entrepreneur as a life strategist to share key tips for a simple healthy lifestyle. In Pei-Ming's words: Life is SIMPLE. Being is what we have lost if we think life is difficult. Our dis-engagement from being true self has led us to inevitable suffering, addiction, depression, and even loss of willingness to live. It has been proven by science, our thought can create reality not only at both our conscious and subconscious levels but also at cellular level to change our biology. Thus, the only way to achieve healthy living is to re-discover our true self, nurture our mind and body, and live in a simple lifestyle that fits the best with our evolved human body. Pei-Ming's 3 top tips: 1. Awareness 2. Balance 3. Consistency

Today I catch up with Denise Cloughley: author, former inmate at Capri Hospital and now a woman on a mission to show others that the past does not equal the future. I met Denise first on a Friday in March 2014. We were both starting the holiday of a lifetime. 27000 nzd for 1 month full board at Capri Hospital. We were both broken people but had done extensive research into alcohol. As good alcoholics do, we quickly compared notes. Who has the higher liver function tests, where is the best place to hide a bottle. Fun stuff! Fast forward 2503 days. Both Denise and I live lives so beautiful that yesterday becomes jealous of today. We both have found the power to love ourselves, something we both considered impossible. Denise has written this book for one simple reason - to show that the past does not equal the future. She has done so in a beautiful way. The book is well written and its content is honest and incredibly humbling. If you struggle with addiction or have a loved one who does, read this book. It is a journal of hope and shows that with the right help, and willingness of the patient, miracles are not only possible but in fact to be expected.

In Yumay's words: I was severely abused by sadistic parents - overt dad and covert mom, and emigrated to the US at age 20 with nothing and no one. I learned how to heal myself and build a life: 1. MS in CS from Stanford at age 21. Paid for school by being a CS TA despite English being my second language. 2. Financially free in my early 30s. 3. Ran/Running global sales teams for Microsoft and Google. 4. Built and sold a striving race business with over 20k racers. 5. I was a pretty good athlete myself at one point in my life :) - adventure races, 50 mile runs, podium placing bike racer across MTB, cyclocross, road race, and track race. 6. What I am most proud of is that I have great relationships with my siblings, my friends, my husband and my cat. Not easy since I had to learn how to have good relationships from scratch!
- Currently also hosting Life Is Love School to help survivors understand they have the power to heal themselves.
For Yumay the following topics are of biggest importance: 1. Not understanding the impact their childhood has on their life today, especially when it comes to intimate relationships. 2. Not realizing that they can heal themselves, but insisting that justice requires their abusers to apologize and fix what they’ve broken.
- Not making progress because they don’t know how to go about healing themselves.

Raising teens in today’s world is challenging. Add a pandemic, and the potential for conflict is certain. Parents, especially moms, typically feel a tremendous burden of guilt and pain, and when trying to raise a teen, there is often conflict. However, there IS hope, and parents can both empower themselves and their teens to find peace and harmony in their home again.
You should NOT have to parent in isolation. Since schools are significant secondary agents of socialization, high school educators should be better trained as well. “It takes a village” has a whole new meaning in 2021!
Charle uses her unique lens as an Educator, a Mental Health Professional, and a Parent to help schools and families thrive. Her goal is to get teens safely to adulthood with resiliency and empowerment.

Charle designs and delivers online courses and virtual training internationally, and as the creator and host of the podcast Advancing Humanity, she also invests her time and energy into reaching people on a massive scale, aiming for a prosperous future. Charle's top 3 tips: 1. Stop talking and listen to your teen. 2. Figure out the underlying issue with behaviors that arise. 3. Notice the negative pattern and do something different.

Lights out, blinds drawn, door locked, phone off, I curled up in a fetal position under the desk in my office. I kept asking myself, “Skip, what are you doing? How did you get here?” I thought, “What happened? I’m a tough guy. I’ve been in the Army 25 years, I’m a Colonel, physician, deployed 30 months in combat zones, and endured many hardships. I’m a National Wrestling Champion. I’m tough!” Over the next four hours, I wrestled with these questions. Utterly broken, I finally admitted, “Skip, you’re depressed, go get some help!” April 17, 2014 was a new start.
Donald G. “Skip” Mondragon, MD, graduated from the Oral Roberts University School of Medicine and completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Northeast Ohio University College of Medicine Affiliated Hospitals in Canton, Ohio. Colonel Mondragon is a twenty-six-year Army veteran, spent thirty months in combat zones, and is a National Veterans Wrestling Champion. Skip became a casualty of depression and as he recovered, was called to advocate for men struggling with this dark disease by speaking and writing. He is the author of Wrestling Depression Is Not For Wimps! Skip and his wife, Sherry, reside in Midlothian, Texas.
Skip's 3 top tips: 1. Even tough guys get depressed! You’re not a wimp if you ask for help. 2. We all need a strong support system of family, friends, and faith. 3. God can take your mess and transform it into your message. Skip can be reached on FB and Twitter @SkipWNW and through his website at www.wrestlingisnotforwimps.com You can find his book on Google, Barnes and Noble, and on Amazon at www.amazon.com/author/skipmondragon

But what if: we have not to hide anything from us not even from yourself? What if...be simply yourself would be a key for true sobriety?

She has supported her clients on their way out of depression, anxiety, addictions, abusive relationships and autoimmune diseases by working with simple and complex trauma in a gentle and holistic way at the subconscious mind and body level. Her experience is that anyone who is willing to be free and to heal can do it. She supports individuals in taking back the responsibility and response-ability for their health by doing the trauma work. In Guna's words: I specialize in gentle and holistic trauma work. I help people to recover from simple and complex trauma so that they can set themselves free from all limitations on the level of body and subconscious mind. As we heal trauma we connect to self and others at a deep level, we own our story, learn to love ourselves, we discover our purpose, we quit surviving and start living, we become mentally and phisically healthy, we become struggle and abuse repellant. This all takes place as we set ourselves free from limiting beliefs, harmful subconscious patterns and any addictive tendencies, be it codependency, substance or behavioural addiction. Multidimensional trauma work allows us to be free at all levels. We usually don’t have explicit memories of the events that have left us traumatised to the extent of impacting our brain development and our nervous system. However, we have implicit memories, our body remembers, our subconscious mind has stored the events and consequently organised adaptive patterns and beliefs to protect us. Implicit memories of trauma show up in the form of reactions (mental and physiological) that used to be adaptive but are now plain harmful and self-sabotaging. Healing trauma is the only way to change the subconscious patterns and limiting beliefs permanently. 3 Steps towards freedom: 1st step: awareness and knowledge, with bravery and honesty eradicating denial, finding and owning blind spots and limiting beliefs; 2nd step: work on all levels, all dimensions (body, mind and spirit); releasing trauma from the tissues and subconscious mind, releasing emotional baggage, forgiveness work, and restoring the trust and safety. 3rd step: keep on working on your growth, again and again, the limit is the sky, the work will never be finished, if you stop growing you don’t stay there, you either grow upwards or fall backwards, up to you which direction. _______ You know that you have healed trauma when you become genuinely grateful that it has happened, for where it has brought you and what it has given to you. That is the post-traumatic growth, when you are no longer a victim, nor a survivor, but a success. When you start living instead of surviving. And that is just the beginning. You discover your true self, you find your purpose and start living up to your potential. You don’t know what is ahead but you are excited about it.

Tamar Medford is a performance consultant, best-selling author, host of The Road to Health podcast, and champion for people who suffer from addiction. Since overcoming her 20-year battle with drugs, alcohol and obesity in 2012, Tamar is on a mission to help people recognize their addictive patterns and break free from them. She empowers others to live up to their true potential while meeting the challenge of change.
Tamar's 3 top tips
- People can have a great upbringing and still fall prey to addiction.
- You have to own that you have created your own life so this also means you have the choice to control what happens in your future.
- Realize that what you perceived as your biggest failure could end up being your greatest asset. Living a life of addiction and coming out of it alive has now allowed me to help empower others to do the same.
Tamar has a free Wake Up on Fire Workshop for everyone to join if they would like. www.theroadforward.ca

Chelsea Palermo, creator of The Write Journey, has crafted a healing writing program to teach others the transformative power of writing. Chelsea has been writing for nearly 30 years. She infuses the craft of writing, and studies on neuroscience including the impact of writing on our emotional and physical bodies, with her own methods of healing through her direct experience of using writing to heal her own traumas including the death of her ex-husband by suicide, and domestic violence in her family of origin. Chelsea holds an MFA in Poetry, and several healing certificates including Inner Child Healing, Life Story Coach, Reiki, Yoga, Past Life Regression & more. Chelsea was nominated as Poet Laureate of Asbury Park, and is an adjunct English Professor. In her own words: I teach people how to use writing as a tool for healing. In my teachings, I incorporate other healing modalities when applicable, such as meditation, visualization, supportive healing herbs, and additional creative arts in support of the writing work. My goal is to equip others with a range of writing techniques and methods to facilitate a writing practice that starts with writing as self-care, and that can move them through writing through trauma, and deep emotional healing.

In Jocelyn's words:
I believe in a world where men and women can break up with their old ways of being, stories that are no longer serving, breaking energetic ties with people and ideas to Wake Up to a being of joy and light and crafting a life on your terms – growing and expanding into the person you were always meant to be.
Together we will Learn, Experience and Activate newly-formed habits. together, we will script a life on your terms. committing to yourself will provide inner peace and knowing you are living your most confident and powerful life.
You live in your radiant light, leaping from limitation to liberation.
In 2017, my marriage dissolved. At the time, my family and I had moved across the country and I was not working. The one thing that I was most certain of was this decision to leave was an absolute for myself. The day I proclaimed that I was leaving and in the months to come, I began a journey of self-discovery. What was it that made ME tick, what was the joy that I wanted to manifest into my life. I invested in myself: learning and expanding through books, conversations, coaching and training. All along this path, I understood this - I am peeling back the layers of myself to get to the core of my life’s purpose.
I’ve made mistakes along the way; I even lost myself for a while during this journey and hid deep within my comfort zone. I could have dealt better with the grief of losing the dream of happily ever after, and the separation and divorce that followed. I let things fall apart around me, rather than proactively building the life I wanted.
And, through this, I realized that as I build the life that I have always desired and dreamed for myself, I have the privilege to share this gift, to allow others to discover their deepest and truest selves. To be the mirror for those around me who may not quite see their own greatest selves. This is what brings me the most joy.
Jocelyn's 3 top tips:
- Define your values and live into those values which serve as your purpose pathway
- Take Inspired Action towards your purpose and LIVE into that purpose
- Craf your own life on your terms

In Anna's words: I am passionate about helping people find alternative methods for pain management. I am a Registered Nurse, Massage Therapist, Yoga instructor and medical cannabis consultant. My focus is helping people with fibromyalgia learn how to manage their pain using a team approach. I became a Nurse because of my love of connecting with people and learning about health and wellness. After working in the hospital setting for over 25 years, I started to see that the health care system was more about treating symptoms rather than teaching people how to live better lives using gentler, natural common sense approaches. I became a massage therapist and then a yoga instructor in order to help people manage their pain. I realized that my fibromyalgia clients needed more and so started to learn about cannabis and plant medicine. I am now consumed with learning all that I can about cannabis.

Hello, I am Dr. Xu, a licensed clinical psychologist, the founder and director of our clinic: Mind & Body Garden Psychology. Thank you very much for visiting the website of our clinic, and hopefully you find some contents here useful for you.
I am a sleep specialist trained in Stanford Sleep Medicine Department, gained the Diplomate in Behavioral Sleep Medicine (DBSM) certified by The Board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. I am serving as a committee member in Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. I always see the role of a psychologist as a gardener. When people come to us seeking support, they may have too many branches of mental blocks and bushes of stress in their lives. What we can do is to help people be more aware of the branches and bushes that impact their quality of life, and then assist them to trim these parts, cope with stress, and live a healthier and happier life. I grew up in China and speak both Mandarin and English. I strongly advocate evidence-based treatment to develop a more positive attitude, and to build a life that is happier, more balanced, and more meaningful. Many of my clients have a hard time dealing with stress or transitions in life. Others may use some help with improving communication and relationship. They all have a common desire to take active steps to make meaningful and lasting changes.
MY APPROACHES TO THERAPY I have been trained in various evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Compassionate Approaches. I believe that therapy requires a teamwork and I love to work with my clients collaboratively and tailor treatment to meet their needs. I always try my best to provide a warm and safe environment for my clients so they have a private space to share their thoughts and feelings freely. I often invite my clients to explore their own strength with me together and practice effective coping skills. The most important aspects of my approach is: It works! I think that is the beauty of applying evidence-based therapy into practice.
MY APPROACHES TO PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING I believe that everyone is unique, and we all have our own potentials and needs. I want to use psychological testing such as neuropsychological testing as a tool, to help us understand ourselves better, explore our potentials, and seek appropriate help as needed. https://www.mindbodygarden.com/appointment-dr-yishan-xu

In McCall's words: My name is McCall - I was 8 years old when I walked into my first AlAteen meeting in Oct. 1981, Cleveland, Ohio... when my mom went thru detox and into rehab the first time. She was a single mom and I, an only child. Since then there have been as many crises as one would expect from a progressive illness like this family disease. She finished her 90-something-th detox recently and I have found that sharing my story is helping me find gratitude for her (and my own) disease.

In Shakoya's words
Although, being detained from my parents and going into the foster care system was traumatizing, DCFS and my social workers played a pivotal role in my life from the age of 7 – 21 which I attribute to the tremendous support that was provided to me. While I was eager to no longer be involved in the process (DCFS), I learned to be open and have patience. This experience taught me to trust the process… abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, coping, healing and now I am a Social Worker … GROWTH is a JOURNEY. Shakoya Green, M.A, M.S.W, is an established professional Social Worker in the behavioral health and social services field. A native of Compton, California, she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Child and Family Development from San Diego State University and a Master of Human Behavior from National University. She obtained a second Master’s Degree in Social Work from California State University Dominguez Hills.
Ms. Green’s acquaintance with social services and the impact it has on individuals is relatively due to her own lived experiences. Ms. Green was born into a home with drug addicted parents and as a result was raised by her maternal grandmother in the foster care system. As an experienced Social Worker she has combined her traumatic lived experiences with her expertise in management acuity to facilitate awareness of program goals, objectives, and desired outcomes for her staff. Her fervor for human development and community awareness have sustained her professional proficiency and ensured longevity and success within her line of work.

In Esther's words: There’s a lot more to Yoga than you might think. Far more than the exercise class it is often perceived to be, Yoga is a system for the sort of growth and healing required for recovery from addiction. Offering tools to promote self reflection, self compassion, emotional regulation, physical and mental healing and much more, Yoga offers everything needed to heal from the wounds that cause addiction, and develop healthy coping strategies for life, so that numbing is no longer required.Esther has 6 years of sobriety all thanks to Yoga.

In Stacy's words: Life is rhythm and we each have a song to sing and a story to write. Choices, circumstances, honor, fear, courage, joy and character are all instruments in the orchestra of our life. Me can merely dance to the music, left to its own devices, consequence deciding the beat. Or, by grace and acceptance, with courage and honor, we can decide to be the conductor of our own symphony.
I am 36 yrs happily married, a mother of 3 and “mom” to a multitude. I have 5 beautiful grandchildren and strive to leave a legacy of gratitude and grace. I spent 40 yrs as a dance instructor/ choreographer, 15 yrs as a rodeo preacher and 12 yrs as a Family Services Specialist for addiction and mental health. I have traded the 1st half for the 2nd half to operate Enlighten Up where we focus on illuminating the path from existence to significance. One of my new joys is co-hosting The Hero Builder Podcast.
Stacy's 3 top tips
- You are the author of your story
- Coincidence happens on purpose
- It is all a great big circle covered with the consequences of our choices.
Stacy's special offer to my listeners and viewers: To help break the stigma that “Coaching” is about having someone order you around and point out your shortcomings, I will offer 1 complementary 20 min Enlightenment session to anyone that responds to this show by sending me an email at Enlightenup.stacyj@gmail.com. Please put “Stephan sent me” in the subject bar.

In Felicia's words: My expertise is in helping people to live. What do you mean by that? A lot of of people walking around this earth dead. They forgot what it means to live and to be connected to something greater than them. We’ve been conditioned for so long to think a certain way, to do certain things in life to be considered successful. Very few of us take a moment to pause and ask ourselves, what the hell am I doing? Is what I’m doing supporting my life purpose and is it making me happy? Everything begins with our mind. Somewhere along our life path, we forgot who we truly are. In school, we were told continuously what’s acceptable, what’s our limitation, what’s possible and what we should do. This will lead to unhappiness and the feeling of un-fulfillment. We quiet our inner voice/intuition and conditioned to look at ‘facts’ of life. I want to help people have an epiphany through a simple storybook to bring this deeper message of life to them before bedtime. I want them to use this as a tool to facilitate much needed conversations with their loved ones and friends. Alcoholism or any type of addiction often times stems from unhappiness. Therefore, we’re trying to numb our emotions to escape from our reality. I want to help them take that first baby step to create an easy organic way to start dealing with their demons. To see the light in the darkness and met them where they are. We can’t help people by telling them what to do. We need to start to listen and take the time to understand ourselves, what makes us tick and embrace both our shadows and lights.
Felicia's top 3 tips 1. Only 2% of the population is living their dream. Decide what kind of live and legacy you want. 2. What are emotions and how to use emotions as strengths? 3. What’s your story? What have you been telling yourself that prevent you from living your dream? Start making small changes everyday and share tips to start making progress toward your happiness.

In Blake's words: As was the case for me, so many people who are affected by substance use disorders feel lost in their disease. The disease became my identity so finding sobriety meant I was stripped of that and had to start over. This is the greatest gift recovery offers us. We are given the opportunity to start over and finally become the person that is aligned with our core values. Recovery gave me my identity and taught me that I can be accepted for exactly who I am. Blake Cohen is a Certified Addictions Professional through the Florida Certification Board, a Certified Life Coach, has a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida Atlantic University, and is currently earning his Master's Degree in Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. Fueled by passion, education, and his professional, personal & family experiences with addiction, Blake aims to assist those that have been directly, or indirectly, affected by Substance Use Disorders towards a path of understanding and healing. He is also the best-selling author of the book, “I love you, More: Short Stories of Addiction, Recovery, and Loss from the Family’s Perspective” that can be found on Amazon. Blake's 3 top tips: 1.

In Dawn's words: Truth and freedom have many levels to them. Depending on how honest we are with ourselves will depend on how our lives turn out. Our deepest darkest secrets, the truths we are afraid of, are the ones which will ultimately set us free, free from ill health, depression and free from need. Nothing happens to us, which means everything happens for us. Depression is a choice, and so is dependency on alcohol, drugs, food, sex, and exercise. Addiction is addiction, and many are addicted to addiction.
Sound harsh? Well join us to find out just how true all this is.

There is much stigma to mental health issues in America and around the world. It is, perhaps, the most overlooked healthcare issue in society today. However, when we choose to address it and surround ourselves with people who refuse to let us ignore it, there IS healing and there IS Hope. I am a Florida girl who loves a simple life, Jesus, family, friends, football, and the beach. I am a native of Jacksonville, Florida, but have spent most of my adult life on Florida’s west coast. I grew up in a children’s home, graduated from Clearwater Christian College w (Biology 1994) and earned an MBA in 2002.. I am a trauma survivor of childhood abuse and domestic violence. By the time I got help, I’d survived 35 years of trauma. I love both the written and spoken word, and enjoy opportunities to share my experiences and the faithfulness of God. My greatest desire is to invest my life in something that will outlive it. There are 3 reasons I am here to even do this interview and they are all important 1. Church/Christ 2. Community 3. Counseling (Trauma Informed)
If people need trauma help, perhaps my podcast can help. Wednesdays With Watson is everywhere and on my website amywatsonauthor.com

Michelle Lange is the Perfect Daughter of an alcoholic parent. In turn she spends each day controlling the urge to want a drink and not become her father.In Michelle's words:
I have learned that I must function perfectly in order to avoid unpleasant situations. I enjoy controlled chaos because I function best in a chaotic environment. I do everything at 100%. I am a proud mother of 2 children and partner to my better half, Jason. I am the athletic director of the Thames Valley Regional Athletic Association and I own my own Social Media freelance business. I am innovative and motivated with vast experience creating content and managing the online presence of small businesses. I have a passion for engaging, inspiring, and informing the community through social media platforms which results in an active community of followers. I have an overarching passion for women in athletics and advocating for youth in sport. Michelle's 3 top insights:
- I overwork b/c I thrive in controlled chaos. I get more done that most people in a 24 hour period
- Trauma in my childhood has made it so that I have difficulty with true intimacy, I struggle to control my drinking (very good at functioning), and I feel that I lack necessary skills as a parent even though I had the best mother anyone could ask for.
- Daughters of alcoholic fathers tend to lie when they don’t need to. I am not sure why. But I do this…. and for no reason. I like to think of it more like embellishing facts…..I make a great storyteller sometimes…. but it’s not necessary.

The world has been hit with major uncertainty especially addictive behavioural issues. I have witnessed the attendance of my SMART Recovery meeting increase from 5 people to 25. People are filled with fear, frustration, mental health issues. The common factor has been losing their jobs, boredom, relationships just to name a few. The good news is that people are starting to accept what they can't control or change in the world but they know that they can change the way they feel, think and behave when it comes to their addictions. I have seen a massive shift with mindset after learning the SMART Recovery's tools and tips that I train to those who are taking action. They know now that the problem in their life can be changed with practice, patience and persistence. Stefan Neff had been living with addictive behaviours from the age of 12 until 46 years of age, after releasing his addictions in 2016 he found himself struggling time to time with urges even though he had released addiction on his own, then life changed after a good friend introduced him to the power of choice with SMART Recovery. After going to his first SMART meeting in 2018 Stefan fell in love with the science aspect that the facilitator was speaking about. He knew right then and there that this is something that he wanted to be part of.
A few weeks later he found himself online taking the facilitators training to become part of a team with SMART Recovery. Stefan added the role of regional coordinator in British Columbia Canada guiding 175 facilitators in my Canadian province.
Stefan's 3 top tips:
- ABC’s tool that will change the way people feel, think and behave in life.
- One of the most powerful processes that helps me with self-acceptance was the mirror exercise.
- The power of choice is Key to sobriety. I know that I am largely responsible for my addictive behaviour. I know that there is nothing wrong with me, I just had an unwanted belief about my self-worth as a person.

You have cancer. Oh, but there is more. Having always been an overachiever, I had not one cancer but two – Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma. Yep, I did not know you could get two cancers at the same time either! It’s even rarer to get the two I had. I am a part of the lucky 1%! Like most people you start examining your lifestyle – obesity, stress levels, food etc.… My husband was convinced it was the stress of the job. So, on one of my weak days, he made me promise to retire. Since that day, I love what I do, I love what I do, has been on loop in my head. I cannot imagine not getting up daily to make the world a better place through my work. Plus, I have so much knowledge in my head that can help others. Hence, the brainchild Supporting World Hope was developed. What if I could help fill in the gap for those small nonprofits who do not have access to a National office?
Having been a CEO of a nonprofit for the last 15 years and working through the ranks from program delivery to operations I experienced all levels of what it takes to run a great nonprofit. I swear on one day I went from cleaning a toilet to being flown in a private plan to visit the board of a major foundation. It’s all in a day’s work, right? And yes, we received the grant from the foundation. I digress, because of this experience I believe that if you focus on supporting the CEOs & the Board of Directors and developing the program staff organizations can stay razor sharp on their mission. Thus, changing the world and giving people hope. Hence the name Supporting World Hope!
I’m a cancer survivor who promised her husband to take it slow, but I have a passion for nonprofit work.
Sabrina Walker Hernandez is the President & CEO of Supporting World Hope. She has over 25 years of experience in nonprofit management, fundraising and leadership. One of Sabrina’s greatest successes is that she increased operation revenue from $750,000 to 2.5 million over an 8-year period as well as being responsible for the planning and operations of a $12 million comprehensive capital campaign. She has facilitated numerous workshops with hundreds of nonprofit professionals. Sabrina is certified in Nonprofit Management by Harvard Business School.
She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Village in Valley, Edinburg Rotary, FEMCity of the RGV, and Edinburg Economic Development Corporation.
Sabrina's 3 top tips:
- A different way to look at your journey - what was it preparing you for?
- The joy of giving back
- Faith over Fear

I couldn’t believe I was in prison. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I could survive and that my friends and family could still love me. I learned about myself with the help of other criminals.
When I was released, I wasn’t going to tell anyone. Why would I? When I finally got the courage to share my secret, I was surprised that people began sharing their secrets with me and beautiful connections were made. I started feeling empowered and shame fell away. Today I help others share their secrets. I was a successful wardrobe stylist in Orange County, CA and living a sober life for almost a decade. I relapsed, stopped my business, sold drugs to a priest who was being followed and was sentenced to 5 years in prison. For more than 1500 days I lived with serial killers, transgender bank robbers, mafia wives and the woman who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart. It was horrific and shocking. How did someone like me end up here? I was released 3 years ago and have since graduated Summa Cum Laude from Southern Oregon University with a BS in Innovative and Leadership. Kristy's top 3 tips:
- Learn to love your perceived flaws.
- Connecting to others through your pain.
- Journaling every morning will help you be more authentic

Cheryln Gibbs is a heroic warrior, leader, and friend, who fought her way back from the devastating effects of betrayal trauma, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. While sharing her painful story was never on her bucket list, doing so not only changed the way she sees her pain, but has helped others change the way they see their pain, too. Cheryln loves telling stories through her video production and social media marketing business. She enjoys playing the bass guitar in her family band. She lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with her husband and adorable family, who love her even though she can't cook. In Cheryln's words: Are you stuck in a relationship with a destructive mindset? Does it feel one-sided? Like the spark has gone out? Like its no fun anymore. Do you take the blame for things that are not your fault? Is fear crippling your ability to move forward?
Do you feel unsafe, out of control, or powerless? I encourage and inspire others to break up with destructive mindsets that are holding them back from living a life of peace, love, and human attachments. I comfort those who have known defeat, known to suffer, known struggle, known loss so that they can climb their way out of the depths and have an appreciation, a sensitivity, an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and deep loving concern for humanity.

Hi, I am Carla! I am a Mindset & Body Coach helping busy individuals lose weight and keep it off. My real mission and passion is to create practical steps for healthy living that allow you to still enjoy your life without feeling restrictive. Through workouts, nutrition plans, and intuitive eating training I support you in changing your behaviours to support a long term healthy lifestyle.
I am an alcohol-free, vegetarian living in the U.K but always looking for my next travel destination. After ending up in the emergency room due to poor lifestyle choices I knew that I needed to make a change...and fast! Giving up alcohol was one of the first choices I made, and it totally changed the trajectory of my life!
I have completely transformed my lifestyle since going alcohol-free. I look and feel better than I ever have in my life and it also gave me the incentive I needed to finally start my coaching business so that I can support others on this same journey. While there are difficulties along the way from unexpected places, I have never felt better and that is the only thing that matters.

Nick Bognar discusses the issues and mechanisms that drive men to addiction, the beliefs and social mores that keep them from getting help, and the obstacles that those around them face in caring for them. Nick Bognar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pasadena, CA. Nick’s therapeutic work as a client led him to pursue a career in helping others shed the emotional shackles and burdens that keep them down, so that each may live their own happiest life and have the greatest impact on their community. Nick’s professional interests include building better men and helping people set boundaries with loved ones. Nick's 3 top tips: 1. Many of men’s positive coping mechanisms are conditioned out of them in childhood and adolescence 2. People’s lives are enhanced by believing in them and holding them to high standards 3. When men understand how privilege works, they are better members of their community, but there’s a reason why it’s hard to teach men about privilege (and that reason is surmountable)
In Nick's words: One of my passions is helping people connect to good therapists. Although I’m happy to take on clients when I have openings, I’m always available to speak to people to help them find someone to talk to (or sometimes, resources in their area). So if someone is contemplating getting help, they can call me and I’ll do my best to make sure they get pushed in a direction that will be helpful and nourishing for them. This is good because sometimes people have to make a dozen calls before they can even speak with someone, let alone find someone who has what they need. Whether or not I can treat someone, I’ll make time for them in order to help send them in the right direction.

In Miranda's words: I counsel, mentor, and sponsor women who are dealing with the effects of alcoholism and addiction in a loved one. As an adult child of alcoholics who was agnostic, I had to make a decision in my marriage to seek recovery myself when my husband fell victim to the disease. I have been in Alanon for 14 years and now and have also been trained as a biblical counselor and a Christian 12 step study program to counsel and mentor others. The pain and despair from living with an alcoholic or addict is too much for most of us. Without spiritual help, we can become mentally, physically, and emotionally unwell. The good news is there are solutions rooted in recovery that can help us regain hope and peace. We can have contentment and happiness whether the addict chooses to get help, but we must be willing to believe that support is beyond human. It comes from the divine, God. Are you willing to believe a power greater than yourself can restore you to a harmonious life? Let’s talk more because together, we can make it! Miranda Jo Davis is an expert in the yoga world with over twenty years’ experience. She owns a Christian yoga and Pilates studio and infuses her teaching with Scripture. As a biblical counselor, Miranda uses God’s Word to encourage heart change. She is a published Christian writer, and her teaching on mind and body wellness has been featured on TV, on the radio, and in print.
Miranda's top 3 tips: 1. Addicts are addicted to alcohol or drugs and their loved ones become addicted to them (the alcoholic). 2. God is the hope for the family disease of alcoholism and he can restore the chaos, uncertainty, and despair of our lives to one of peace, calm, and hope! 3. There are specific steps we need to take to separate us from our loved ones and the disease. Prayer, meditation, counsel, and changing our thinking are the key elements to breaking free from the grips of the disease.
I teach Christian yoga, pilates, and meditation (an active way to practice step 11 (“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God”) by teaching virtual classes. I also do one on one coaching sessions for loved one of addicts/alcoholics and we work the 12 steps of a Gospel Centered Recovery). www.mirandajodavis.com for one on one coaching https://www.youtube.com/feed/my_videos for free Christian Meditation

At 34 years old, Michelle suddenly found herself widowed after her husband died by suicide, leaving her to raise her two young sons alone. The family, having hidden his mental illness, chose to say he died in accident to avoid dealing with the stigma and shame. Carrying this secret for over 10 years impacted Michelle’s own mental and physical health until she could no longer take the pain. Michelle speaks about her journey through healing the trauma and realizing her life purpose. She now shares her inspiring story and supports others who are living with similar experiences to find their personal freedom. Michelle Anhang, BA, PCC, CPCC, is a Certified Life Coach who specializes in supporting individuals and families living with mental health challenges as well as those moving forward after loss. Her customized practice draws from an academic background in psychology, as well as training in mindfulness & meditation, leadership skills, and co-active coaching techniques.
In addition to coaching, Michelle is a motivational speaker who shares her story of becoming widowed at the age of 34 when her husband died by suicide, and how she navigated her way through stigma, shame, and her own mental health challenges to rebuild her life intentionally.
Michelle's top 3 tips:
- We’re only as sick as our secrets (Our inner critics/gremlins are liars)
- It’s never too late to begin again
- Freedom and joy live on the other side of secrets and shame, and we owe it to ourselves to get there

In Amy's words: This is a story of why I coped the way I did until now. How choosing to heal my trauma led me to a institutions, suicide and then a choice to live like I have never lived before. How choosing to find my birth mom and heal years of ancestral abuse led me to deepening my practices and choosing to support sober people to heal from the root cause to thrive in recovery.
Today, I support sober people to heal their past traumas to cultivate more self-love and have healthy relationships with everything in their lives. I was confident no single approach to healing and living a conscious sober life would work for me so why would it work for anyone else? I got busy educating myself, training and working with people in somatic experiencing, attachment theory and other trauma-informed modalities and relating it to living a conscious sober lifestyle. What I discover is missing for my clients, who include all adults ready to create healthier relationships is when we unravel the root causes of the addictive escape such as grief, trauma and attachment adaptations it is possible to connect with more safety and reveal their true potential purpose and thrive in all sober relationships. Outside of running my coaching business, Thrive in Recovery, you can find me practicing what I teach; cooking healthy, delicious food, practicing yoga, playing outdoors and strengthening my connection to myself to serve others.
Amy's top 3 tips: 1. A willingness to stay curious will take you to great places. 2. Learning what safety feels like in your body is freedom. 3. A commitment to always be learning will bring you amazing pleasure.

In Kat's words:
I hope to encourage people to use their gifts and talents to the fullest extent in order to live their fullest life. It took me a long time to find the confidence to claim being a writer. Part of the problem was my past of sexual abuse as a child. After dealing with the pain the abuse caused through alcohol and drugs during my early twenties, I thought I was fine with moving on with my life once I got married and had kids. Was I ever wrong. While I was too concerned with becoming an alcoholic to reach for the bottle during the day (so concerned with what other people and my husband would think of me) not dealing with my past was spiraling me into depression, causing me to resent my husband, hate myself and feel absolutely worthless. I see women walking about barely in control of their emotions and I have an idea of what’s wrong: they haven’t dealt with the heavy stuff of their past. They have walked on, hoping that time will heal, but time doesn’t heal anything. Purproful forgiveness heals. It was only after I went to therapy to deal with my past and worked through how I could learn to forgive and live a life of forgiveness that I was able to walk into my purpose of being a writer and now coaching people in their writing.
Raised mostly in Wisconsin, Kat has now lived in three other countries, is married to her prince with an accent and has three beautiful girls. In 2017 she published her first novel, Stepping Across the Desert. In 2019, Kat published her second novel, An Audience with the King and published an interactive journal because she truly believes that everyone’s life is worth writing down.
Kat's 3 top tips:
- Forgiveness is essential to living a full life
- Time doesn’t heal anything
- You have specific gifts and talents and creativity that you should absolutely be sharing with the world

In Camille's words:
Life is messy and beautiful, and eliminating alcohol or any vice should reflect that which is life. Removing your vice is not linear. No one quits the first time. We have usually spent years practicing the behaviors of drinking, and in return we need to practice the behavior of living without alcohol. More than anything, we have to find humor in our faults and understand no one goes through life gracefully. What fun is that anyway? Have you ever wondered if your addiction was a gift?
- Looking at addiction as a gift
- Mom wine culture and what we are teaching our kids
- How behavior and environment are important when breaking habits, but the lasting change happens at the beliefs and identity lever
- Alcohol as a triple threat: addictive, habitual, and ritualistic
- Grey area drinker defined

In Cammie's words:
In western culture, self love and sobriety are both radical acts of rebellion. The world is constantly sending us messages that we are not good enough and drinking is the magic elixir that will solve all of our problems. When I stopped listening to the harmful messages the world was sending me and started to listen to my true self, my life became more meaningful and more fulfilling.
After 30 years of drinking, I have found my calling in life as a Sobriety Coach. I work with women to get to the root of why they drink and to deprogram the message of “not enoughness” that society has told us since birth. Self- love and sobriety is the ultimate act of rebellion in society that expects us to conform and surrender our power. It is my privilege to help women gain back their power and to help them create the sober life that they have dreamed of.
3 top tips
- We take care of the things we love. When you start to love yourself, you will no longer want to poison yourself with alcohol.
- You don’t have to hit rock bottom to stop drinking. You just need to realize you are worthy of a better life.
- Change your thoughts about drinking and change your life.

In Helen's words:
When my oldest child was 7, I had a vision of her at 14, and I was terrified. I thought my feisty daughter was going to be unmanageable by the time she was a teenager, and I didn’t imagine how I would cope. What I didn’t realise was that growing up isn’t linear - it’s incremental in so many beautiful twists and turns. And the child you get at 14 is never the one you expect at 7. Helen Wills is an award-winning UK family lifestyle blogger. She started her blog Actually Mummy in 2011, when she realised that talking to the four walls and a baby was never going to be enough. Since then she’s charted her (often hilarious) encounters with her children, right up until the present day, when they are no longer funny. Helen now writes about the whole spectrum of raising her teenaged son and daughter, from the emotionally tough, to the frankly ridiculous. Never afraid of taking the less popular view, she is often to be found challenging stereotypes on Instagram, Facebook, and via her podcast Teenage Kicks.
Helen's 3 top tips:
- Stop fearing the teenage years as a parent
- Be inspired to grow with your child and embrace the adult they are becoming
- Take ‘good enough’ over perfect and stop worrying about what other parents think of you
Helen: I’d love people to go over and have a listen to my Teenage Kicks podcast. I’ve interviewed some incredibly special people, all of whom have experienced difficult things as a teenager. All of them have come through their challenges, and consider their lives better because of what they went through. Their insight into what our teens are dealing with is invaluable, and their tips for parents AND teens on how to cope with similar problems are inspiring.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Jodi Aman (Ay-min): Why are more and more young people having mental health problems? Is it social media, genetics, or helicopter parenting? There is so much in our culture making us feel powerless, helpless and out of control. This leads to anxiety and depression, but there is something that we can do about it. As a Family Therapist for over 20 years, Jodi empowers people to become their own healer. As an anxiety survivor and a mom of teens, Jodi totally gets it. Her TEDxWilmington talk, “Calm Anxious Kids,” and her new book, Anxiety...I’m So Done with You! are changing the way we understand the current mental health crisis. If you want to read more - check out her new book Anxiety...I’m So Done with You. A Teen’s Guide to Ditching Toxic Stress and Hardwiring their Brain for Happiness. jodiaman.com/ditchanxiety

Whitney's story I went on a downward spiral in late middle school. I went to extreme measures to gain attention and popularity. I got pregnant at 20, I was freshmen in college, I married my child’s father. After 3 years of physical and emotional abuse (and his cheating), I left that marriage. I then went on a string of toxic and abusive relationships. Throw in another pregnancy (of which I didnt know who the father was) and an abortion. A few years after that I married an alcoholic soldier in the US Army. That was a brief marriage of emotional abuse, toxic drinking (my ex husand) and even illegitimate children by my husband and another woman. One night I had hit my breaking point, and I remember crying on my bathroom floor and God asking me “Are you done? Are you done doing things on your own?”
The next morning I packed up my things, rented a u-haul and moved back home. I began to pick up the pieces of my life. I did some inner work and healed the wounds that were causing me to repeat toxic cycles in my life. I had to take ownership of the situations I was creating for myself over and over again. I rediscovered God and went on a journey of healing. I eventually found my passion for coaching women to show them how to break up with shame around their past and unlock their own authentic self.
3 top tips 1. Take ownership to become powerful. 2. Break out of a victim mindset. 3. Show up as your authentic self, even when others don’t like it.

CJ Grace had lived a charmed life. A dream job as BBC journalist and then working for China Radio International in Beijing, falling in love with an American she met there. Her 25th wedding anniversary was the best one ever, spent in Hawaii, where they had a second home. Just 2 years later, her life was in tatters. Her husband had a mistress half his age, and CJ got breast cancer. Refusing to be a victim and hanging on to her sense of humor, CJ developed a 6-part program to use adversity as a catalyst to reinvent her midlife.
C. J. Grace is the author of Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not and currently completing Hotel Chemo: My Wild Ride through Breast Cancer and Infidelity. She dealt with the double whammy of discovering her husband’s infidelity and shortly after being diagnosed with breast cancer by refusing to be a victim and keeping her wicked sense of humor. C. J. was a BBC journalist and voiceover artist in the UK and later worked for China Radio International in Beijing. She insists that the obstacles she’s faced have enabled her to make midlife better than her younger days.
3 top tips from CJ:
- After infidelity, the best revenge is to get past the need for it.
- Going through cancer reminds you that life is short, so go for what you want now.
- Happiness is seeing the humor in life’s absurdities. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.

Today I interview my fellow author Tiff Johnson. Her story is mind-blowing and her book is a fantastic read. Here is my review on Amazon:
"Sometimes a book just grabs you without you knowing why this really happens. This was the case for me. Tiffany's journey from the Australian farm into the beautiful wide world is a coming-of-age story, but not dreamed up in Hollywood by script-writers. Instead, Tiffany tells it in the humble way as she experienced this journey. And she doesn't mince words. For many years I had a recurring nightmare that included missing buses and trains. Reading Tiffany's story I now know that I am not alone with this regard. She has been a former master in doing so. And it is her lack of hesitation to share her embarrassments, shame and guilt which makes this book so compelling. Tiffany shares her life, warts and all. And this is entirely refreshing at a time when people add layers of masks to do anything but show their real self. But I guess facing a major disaster in which 21 other young people would perish changes the way you look at the world. Tiffany decided to share her experiences so that others can learn. And I for one feel humbled that I have learned from her by reading this book."
Tiffany is the author of the best selling memoir Brave Enough Now, Keynote Inspirational Speaker and Podcast Host of the podcast When we are BRAVE, a podcast sharing conversations nad inspirational stories plus tips and tricks on living your best and breakfast life. Tiffany shares her story of survival from the 1999 Swiss Canyoning Disaster, where 21 young people died. Tiffany miraculously survived. She now lives her life to help empower people to listen to their institution, be brilliantly brave and live their best and bravest life. http://tiffanyjohnson.com.au

I have got the pleasure of talking to burnout coach Cait Donovan. Our interview is a match-made-in-heaven (or really hell?). After all, I have been the biggest culprit as far as burnout is concerned - I can burn the candle on both ends and at a few places in the middle! Burnout is rampant worldwide and since COVID-19 hit, more and more people have become aware of how chronic stress is wearing on their bodies and minds. Western culture has created a system that drives us to burnout by teaching us to crave the next goal, the next achievement, the next level of pay - all while ignoring our true internal needs and desires. Being addicted to overworking holds the same mechanisms of being addicted to any substance and recovery requires a lot of the same steps.
Caitlin Donovan is one of New York City’s leading burnout experts and acupuncturists, host of “Fried – The Burnout Podcast,” and author of the book "The Bouncebackability Factor: End Burnout, Gain Resilience, and Change the World". Her master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine enables Caitlin to combine Eastern wisdom with her natural practicality. After performing more than 25,000 acupuncture treatments, Caitlin added 1:1 coaching, corporate workshops, and keynotes for companies such as PTC and Lululemon – all with a focus on burnout. She has been featured on podcasts and online magazines such as “Forbes”, “Elephant Journal,” “Thrive Global,” “Addicted 2 Success”, as well as quoted in Oprah Magazine.
Cait's top 3 tips: 1. Leaning into ‘negative’ emotions can save you (esp resentment) 2. Brain changes are consistent with trauma, chronic stress, and addiction 3. There is a distinct difference between burnout prevention and burnout recovery If you want to find out more about Cait - go to https://www.caitdonovan.com/resentment-journal

Because of constant, intense sensory input, it’s easy for people who are highly sensitive to become over-stimulated. They often turn to alcohol or drugs to manage the sensory overload and emotional overwhelm. Although it’s tempting for those with the trait of high sensitivity to try to ignore it or silence it (such as with drugs or alcohol), it’s more effective to learn how to embrace the trait and turn it into an advantage. Although being highly sensitive can be perceived as a weakness, you can learn how to embrace it as a true strength. Linda Binns is an accomplished energy coach, speaker and author of several books on energy. As a sensitive, introverted and highly empathic person, who was not expected to succeed, she has surpassed everyone’s expectations (including her own). Her mission is to help her clients discover essential techniques for freeing their energy, clarifying focus, and incorporating inner awareness, acceptance, and peace, so that they can claim the success and fulfillment they deserve. She specializes in working with Highly Sensitive Professionals. If you want to find out more about Linda - contact her via email

Today I speak with CQ - Disabled Veteran turned Comedian turned Pop Culture Radio Show Host.
CQ and I discuss the many faces of PTSD. As part of the tip of the spear, CQ was serving 2 combat tours before being wounded in Afghanistan in 2005. When the metal met the meat (shot 5 times) CQ's life changed forever. He struggled for years with PTSD before starting to work with non-profit organizations and charities. In 2016 CQ stumbled into a comedy course as part of the Army's rehabilitation efforts, and the rest is history. CQ has performed in legendary places like DC Improv and Gotham NYC and earlier this year started “Pop Culture Warrior” on the WTF Nation Radio station.
CQ's 3 key suggestions: 1. Tragic things happen in our lives but they don’t have to define who you are 2. Bring some positivity into the world 3. Say yes to as many experiences as you can. You never know what you’ll fall in love with!

I have the pleasure of meeting Paul Forchione and learn about his core beliefs. In his own words: I was born with cerebral palsy and it was so severe that the doctors told my mom that I would never be able to walk. Thank goodness for a wonderful mom and a great mindset that wasn’t my destiny. I was able to overcome it and be able to live a very active life but it wasn’t easy at all. Today as a Mindset Coach I share my story with my clients to help them overcome obstacles in their lives.We have a choice everyday to look at things from a positive or negative lens. If you allow yourself to look at things from a more positive lens you will have more good days than bad. The opposite could be said if you look for all the negatives that happen in your day.
Paul's top-3 recommendations:
- You can control your attitude
- Love yourself and do not put yourself down
- Have empathy for others - you don’t know what they are going through Please check out https://acalltoaction.coach

Today I interview Sue Thistle, author of the Amazon New Release Chem-Free Sobriety. This book provides an inside look at 101 recovery trailblazers with 1-49 years of sobriety. Each story answers the following questions: When did you start drinking or using drugs, and how did it progress? Looking back, when do you think it was mostly out of control? How are you able to not drink or use daily? What is your thought about medication-assisted treatment? Is there anything you want those struggling with addiction to know? What do you want lawmakers to know? In Sue's words: I am a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, of 15 years, and worked in prevention prior. I am also a person in long-term recovery, 33 years. My road to recovery was not an easy one, laced with a traumatic childhood and emotional pain. However, after spending my entire recovery path reading and studying addiction, attending therapy, and getting a Masters in Counseling Psychology with a substance abuse concentration, I have learned to live life on life’s terms. I thank God every day for a life second to none. My dreams are coming true and I am able to help others through the work I do and my professional and personal experience.
Sue's 3 top recommendations:
- You do not need medication to recover from a substance use disorder.
- If you connect with a higher power for help, opportunities to stay away from drugs increases.
- There are millions of people who get and stay sober without medication and want to support people who would like to do the same.

In Naomi's own words:
All of us have a wounded inner child and a need that wasn’t met in our developing years. Many of us are totally unaware that we have several unmet needs and trauma stored in our bodies (energetic field). We spend most of our lives looking for this need in others, and in things, and just attracting more of the same. This pain, emptiness and dissociation is the root of so much addiction, illness and pain and it manifests in fear, self sabotage, codependency, emptiness, disorders and more. And yet we have a “One size fits all” System For Everything. But there is a cure for those who take the road less traveled.
Naomi Nye has been an Entertainer - Entrepreneur for almost 20 years, with Award Winning businesses in Miami. Naomi’s life was turned upside down when she underwent a series of surgeries that left her bedridden for almost seven years. This experience brought up childhood trauma and decades of abuse taking her down a rabbit hole of many addictions. As Naomi was trying to piece her life together the question she kept asking herself was, “What skills would I have needed to have learned when I was a teenager so that I could have faced my life challenges successfully?” This is how THN Network, her Teen Leadership and Entrepreneurship academy was born.

Adele and I find ourselves tackling some hard topics in this interview when we challenge our own beliefs and boundaries when it comes to rehabilitation.
Adele has a BA and MA in Sociology. She started a PhD but left it after one semester, having decided she would rather work with people than write about them. But that did not prevent her having to fight a hard battle with alcoholism, that she nearly lost. But 12 she is now life coaching and recovery to create a bold new way of finding a sober life.
Adele's top-3 recommendations:
- There are a variety of ways to get and stay sober. The point is to find what works for YOU, and stay the course.
- You are not bad trying to get good. You are just sick trying to get well, and scared trying to get safe.
- Whatever you do, don’t try to recover alone. It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a village to heal an addict.
Adele offers private coaching to those struggling with alcohol abuse and misuse. She likes to listen to the needs of each client and create personalized coaching packages based on where they currently are.

I wished that I took the hints to stop drinking i, like many, knew I was drinking way too much. I was in hospital so many times but I just didn’t take the hint. I just thought I’d be ok, I’ll stop next time, it didn’t kill me last time, until it nearly did.
I was laying there in hospital for the 6th time, half the weight I was normally, I couldn’t even stand up on my own. I was so sick this time that I ended up having a Cardiac arrest and had to have open heart surgery. I lay there thinking of my 3 little Nieces, I thought about my hopes and dreams when I was little and how I never even gave mine a shot..
Then it struck me, I really wanted to be a role model to them, my dream was to act and sing and I had to get better to do that!
My parents came here from India back in 1963 and settled in Leicester, my mother and father worked extremely hard to give is all the things they couldn’t have. I’m the 2nd oldest of 5 children, my oldest sister is also in the arts as a professional singer of 25 years+. I love to sing and act throughout my younger school years but I decided to do my degree in Business and Technology. Then after becoming seriously ill I decided to follow my dreams and started to write and sing songs and started acting and today I do this fun job full time and never looked back since.
Steve proves that it is never too late to follow your dreams!

Join me in this interview with Zuhaib from England!
"My Name is Zuhaib and I help men to face the darkest part of themselves and to find clarity and success to become the man they always desire to be. I believe what ever has happened to us in the past, we cannot change it. It’s part of us, we just need to acknowledge it and accept it and use it towards our success.
Why is it so important to focus on men?
- Men who feel as though they are unable speak openly about emotions may be less able to recognize symptoms of mental health problems in themselves, and less likely to reach out for support. Sometimes they are afraid of being judged and labelled.
- Men are expected to “Behave” in a certain way in the society (more so in certain cultures and countries) and the whole concept of masculinity can be misinterpreted. "

In Michelle's words: Social drinking is a way to fit in and be a part of a group yet when you choose to say no everyone treats you like you are no fun. The crowd will tell you to loosen up just one drink can’t hurt. But, truth is drinking doesn’t give you confidence. In fact, it creates numbness in your body and brain so that your thoughts are unclear and your body’s reactions slower and uncoordinated as you become drunk. The false confidence created by the boost of sugar from the alcohol is temporary and leads to dangerous consequences especially if the person wants to drive. I will cover the ways to say no thanks without guilt or regret. Tune in to hear the best ways to gain confidence with others without a drink of alcohol.
I have experienced the damaging effects of alcoholism through my family and friends who hurt themselves or others in auto accidents when they were drunk. Also, as a child I saw the negative effects of alcoholism within my family trying to hide the problem and not dealing with it. We all make choices about how we want to live our lives however being responsible about how we react to our circumstances takes courage not to give in and mask our pain through alcohol.
I coach people to help them dissolve their stress and anxiety about their lives so they can make healthy choices confidently that eliminates their desires to drink alcohol.
I offer an introductory coaching package (4 weekly sessions) to gain clarity on how to quickly relieve stress and/or anxiety instead of reaching for a drink or two to solve the problem.

More and more people suffer from depression and feel helpless, powerless and hopeless with such a fate. Many of them begin to consume drugs or alcohol (or both) to numb their emotions. But we have much, much more power over our life-boat than we may ever believe….even when we are standing in front of a wall of adversity. Depressions are not a given and can be transformed by the individual themselves. The goal for every person who suffers from depression is to develop a feeling of having control over their life…the certainty that it is possible to gain their power back

She has licenses as a pre-school teacher, an alternative behavioral therapist, adult educator, life coach and corporate trainer.

Samantha is a business owner and advocate, and is on a mission to help others become advocates for themselves. There are multiple sides to addiction, and her goal is to help those who were or are in similar situations to what she experienced. Learn from her story and continue to grow, love and support your addict and yourself.
In Samantha's words: "Oftentimes, we stand too close to the screen and do not realize how toxic the situations we are in are for us. It wasn’t until after losing my fiance to a drug overdose, that I realized how much his addiction had affected our lives, and how he would continue to have an impact as I continued to live without him."
It was a real honor to talk to Samantha.

Like many people, spiritual author and speaker Donald Lee has had an on-again/off-again relationship with alcohol during his life. Sometimes he has controlled alcohol, sometimes it has controlled him. In this wide-ranging interview, Donald talks about his recurrent struggles with alcohol, how it fit into his life-long spiritual quest, and what has helped him to get back in control. Millions of people who are, like Donald “not quite addicted, but not quite in control either” will find his journey and his struggles meaningful.
Donald Lee is a spiritual author and inspirational speaker but also a musician, teacher, and band director. Drawing on his varied professional experience and life-long spiritual quest, Donald uses music as a metaphor for spiritual growth. With his writing and speaking, Donald helps people to see life “through spiritual eyes” to make their experience of life deeper, richer, and more meaningful. His first book was published in 2019: The Band Director’s Lessons About Life: Volume 1 – Parables on Life’s Performance Cycle. It is a book of modern-day parables, with stories inspired by his teaching experience. Here is an excerpt:
“One revelation on our spiritual journey is that what you seek is already right here with you—before you even start your journey. A second is that the world does not change by your journey. You change—and thus you see the world differently. Then you are able to see that what you seek is right before you. It always was. You always had it. Because what you seek is within you, not without you. So the spiritual journey is always a journey inward. The outward journey is just to show you yourself as reflected in the faces and places you visit.”

In this episode I meet Victoria English Martin. a life-coach whose journey is both humbling and inspiring. In her own words: "I used alcohol to numb physical and emotional pain for many years, and even went back to drinking briefly after fighting for my life during aggressive breast cancer treatment. It was then, when I was poisoning myself, after already facing death, that I realized that the root of WHY we numb has to be addressed before we can heal in a healthy way and live not just an alcohol-free life, but a happy life without feeling deprived, but empowered instead. I have a degree in Dietetics, am an Integrative Nutritionist and a coach-in-training with This Naked Mind Institute, led by best selling author, Annie Grace. We approach recovery from alcohol or any habit which is no longer serving us with science-proven methodology. It is my intention to break down the Mommy wine culture, educate women about breast cancer and help them find their own voice, free from the pervasive messages in society that we need a substance to endure life. My podcast is “After the Crisis”, available on all podcast platforms. My website is victoriaenglishmartin.com I offer 1:1 coaching as well as group coaching." It was an honor to talk to Victoria. Maybe you should too!

Ramie has asked me to relay her message to you: "You can change and live a life that is purposeful, useful and filled with Gratitude. It’s not Magical because you quit your Drinking, but it can be!!! Picture yourself all clean and SO done with drinking, no more lies to yourself, your family and friends. You have come clean and so much goes with that decision of not picking up the drink again. No, please don’t misunderstand me STOP is a great place and the only place to start but to yield a great life one has work to do. We have all had our reasons to drink, a good day, a bad day, the weekend, it’s after 5pm somewhere. Right? One soon realizes the awareness of the very reason we drank, the stress, pain, frustration and not knowing how to end the misery. This is where I come in, Hi! I am Ramie Haas and I AM a living, loving life sober person. " As an alcoholic in recovery Ramie is NOW living life aware of all the good there is in the world. As she puts it: "I get to teach yoga, meditation, and use my life coaching skills to help others change their old beliefs, habits and the way they feel. I use trance to hypnotize others and access their Higher Self to help, aide, guide, along the way with permission. We all do better when we ask for help and asking our Higher Power/Selves is a healthy and profound way." What does Ramie offer you as the viewers? "I can work online with anyone and heal the root cause of the disease but only if the person is totally willing to be honest and want change. I am the Guide. You must do the work!" My comment - And there it is again. No magic cure. No quick fix. But the guarantee that you can change your life dramatically if you put your mind to it!

I have the pleasure of talking to Natalie Forstbauer. In 2003 Natalie acquired a brain injury in a motor vehicle accident – and lost pretty much everything that was important to her… most importantly her health and a sense of self and who she was. Before the accident her nick name was “Dr. Feel Good”. Natalie’s background and training is in complimentary medicine, energy medicine and organic farming. She specialized in making people feel good from the inside out. But everything changed in a split second. Through farming and gardening the brain injury taught her the value of compassion and grace in the face of adversity and trauma. It showed her healing is not always about “fixing what we perceive to be broken”. Natalie Forstbauer is a TEDx speaker, award-winning entrepreneur, author, organic/biodynamic farmer and traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor. She is passionate about human potential and seeing people live their best lives. Raised on an organic farm, trained in Polarity Therapy, alternative medicine, Neurofeedback and Transformational Leadership she brings a wealth of knowledge and life experience to her audiences and clients. Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Heart & Soil Magazine she brings together quality information and conversations on regenerative agriculture and global health. Natalie has been kind enough to make her book free for the viewers and listeners of this episode.

Today I welcome Clarissa Kristjansson to my show. Clarissa is a expert on menopause and helps me to understand this phenomenon better. As Clarissa puts it: "Midlife women are drinking more than ever to cope with the demands of their overbusy lives and ‘wine time’ is the new way for women to socialise. But even ‘moderate’ drinking can affect the frequency and severity of menopause symptoms. So can you drink during your menopause? The art of drinking moderately is fraught for women in perimenopause. It’s a time when many of us feel the need for the blunting effect of a wine.We’re worrying about aging parents and near-adult children. We’re at the peak of our careers. We finally have the freedom men have always had to check out at night. But alcohol dials up menopause symptoms and how do you cut back without losing all your friends when ‘wine time’ is how you socialise." Clarissa's own journey from corporate leader to helping others began when she suffered a burnout during her menopause and had to reassess how she was living her life. Today Clarissa is a Menopause Transition Specialist whose approach is founded on neuroscience, mindfulness, and women's health coaching to help women transform the peri to post menopause journey. She is a neuroscientist, certified health and mindfulness coach, the author of The Mindful Menopause and the host of The Menopause Project podcast.

What happens when an investigative journalist investigates the skeletons in his family's cupboard? Stuart Watson was put up for adoption by his birth mother the moment he was born after his biological father abandoned them. After four months in foster care, he was placed with adopting parents. Because it was a closed adoption, Stuart never knew that alcoholism ran in his family and that he had a full-blood brother and sister and all three siblings became alcoholics, despite being raised in different homes. Once Stuart got sober at mid life, he used his skills as an investigative journalist to track his origins, and was stunned at the story of his father and mother, who met in one of the largest mental hospitals in the world and went on to marry after his adoption. Stuart Watson is an American journalist who created the podcast ManListening - one man’s effort to better listen to women. Along the same lines he is set to publish his first book this fall: WHAT SHE SAID & WHAT I HEARD.Check him out and look for ManListening on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Welcome to my podcast!
My steps to sobriety is the show that brings alcoholism out into the open. I am a doctor and an alcoholic i recovery. I interview guests that have been there, done that and have vomited on the T-shirt. We are talking honestly about alcohol use disorder, or better known as alcoholism. But more importantly, on this channel we explore what other people did to get sober, and stay that way.
I talk to people that have overcome huge hurdles and bear the scars to prove it. These people were once broken. But they did not give up and created a future for themselves, that leaves most of us behind in the dust. How did they do it? And what can we learn from these guys?
Join me in my journey of exploring ways how to enrich your life to such a degree that alcohol simply has no place in there!
