Her words have the ability to fire up the imagination and take you to a whole new level of thinking and experience. It's a gift, an expression, an energy bursting through allowing writer Jen Violi to captivate and inspire a generation of would-be writers and creatives. Jen Violi is the author of Putting Makeup on Dead People, a BCCB Blue Ribbon Book, and finalist for the Oregon Book Awards.  As a mentor, editor, and facilitator, Jen helps writers unleash the stories they're meant to tell, from blogs to websites to award winning books. We find ourselves in a world that almost demands we fully show up and tell the stories of our lives and businesses.  Our 'back stories' have become the 'secret sauce' to endearing engagement and until we can dive deep and excavate the content and deliver it in a courageous and juicy format, potential tribes and audiences may not get what they need from you. Jen delivers her particular brand of secret sauce beautifully each time she shares to her followers.&

She helps women do this ensuring they put self-care on the top of their priority list and mentoring them along the way. Her 30+ years of experience with administration, medical and finance, which she loved came to an abrupt HALT when she was diagnosed first with Lupus and then stage 4 cancer, initially in 1995. As a mother of three, those words are life altering.  In 2005 she was given a "timeline" of four months to live; THIS as her oldest daughter was to graduate from college and be married within that year.  She had been going down the traditional health path for cancer up to that point.  However, those words resonated into her soul "four months to live."   In 2005 when her four month diagnosis came, she decided to take matters into her own hands and become her own advocate for her healthcare. Lisa began living a strictly holistic lifestyle.

'Be Love Now!' It's the battle-cry, mantra, and ethos of this brilliant and incredibly energetic mojo-maker!  I deferentially refer to Dr. Tanya Gee. As a practitioner of TCM, Traditional Chinese Medicine, she is well aware of the maladies that ail our bodies.  Her intuitive nature and well practiced career of over 21 years gives her the ability to provide powerful care for her clients. There is another side to this fascinating woman that transcends her work.  You feel it while in her presence and in conversation with her.  You instinctively know she has done the 'work'. What is the 'work'.  It's the process to reclaim our true nature, which is of course, love.  The work is something many are aware of but few actually take on.  The work is not easy or suffer fools gladly.  Is it worth it?  You simply have to listen to this episode to grasp the magnitude of the answer. 'Be Love Now' is not simply a platitude easily thrown about like yesterday's newsp

'One of our biggest issues that block us on the way to our dreams is that we chase other people's rules'. This quote by Coach, Author and successful CEO and entrepreneur, Regyna Cooper rings incredibly true. We are hooked and fascinated by the achievements of others we have forgotten that we have our own unique rhythm and vibe that requires a closer look. We have all been placed here to experience own particular brand of success.  How that success unfolds depends on a variety of factors.  Many of those factors resemble secrets hiding in plain sight. A lot of what we were destined to do showed up when we were children.  Regyna shares a wonderful example of how her love for dolls as a young girl gave her the insight for the powerful and successful life she now leads building community that allows her to help others do the same. Regyna Cooper is a Pastor, Wife, Mother, Executive, and Author.  Her passion is helping others to birth and live their dreams.  As CEO of Maxser Group, she is a

Failure.  We all hate the word, yet we tend to hover around its sidelines as if we couldn't help doing so. A MojoMaker and successful film distribution mogul in his own right is here to share how we can mindfully circumvent much of the failures in our life if we knew what to do. He speaks to why most won't ever reach the success they desire and why others will easily accomplish their dreams. He knows.  He's someone that's gone down to the trenches, felt defeat and climbed back to claim his prize in life. Ed Sylvan is the CEO of Sycamore Entertainment, an independent film marketing and distribution company focused on acquiring and marketing quality theatrical releases in the North American marketplace.   If you're an entrepreneur and wondering how to move through obstacles, opponents, hard times and defeat, take time to listen to this powerful conversation.

Althea Raum was proverbial fat kid, who turned to anorexia, twice, then went on to make a decision that turned her life around in extraordinary ways.   Her history of extremes is the foundation upon which she built Women Growing Strong, a thriving business dedicated to reversing extreme thinking and behavior in women as it relates to their body image. Health and fitness was certainly not a foregone conclusion in Althea's life, but it did become her salvation.     Weightlifting and powerlifting was her  “me vs. me” proposition.   Althea went on to compete internationally in the world of powerlifting at the age of 54, and has never looked back.  She began personal training in 2005, aiming her business toward women who battle self esteem and body image issues.   Right away it was noticed that the clients who were most successful were the ones who practiced consistency in their thin

I'm excited for you to spend time with today's guest.  This conversation is an excellent one to have because of the season.  The old is coming to an end and the new is about to begin.  Many are preparing their goals while others have no clue what to do.  Others still are sick and tired of trying to fit their life into their work and are only making a mess of their  energy, health and relationships in the process.   It's my hope that this episode will remind you to take a chance in life.  It's not how egoic you can be or in what lofty places you presently reside, if you're not happy, you're not happy.  The goal of maintaining something that doesn't work has become the madness of our time, yet we diligently hang on.  Why?  It's something we briefly discuss in this show.   You're life force is too important to squash.  When will you step out of the way and give it a chance to flow and  fly?   Katherine Bruni Oneil took a chance and lept, bi
