Carina is a surface pattern and craft designer turned CEO, who teaches hobbyists to make money as designers. As a former university professor (Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota) and creative director of a scrapbooking company (Cartabella Paper Co.), her expertise led her to build a multimillion-dollar brand in 2 years. She teaches quilters, makers, struggling designers, card makers, fine artists, mixed media artists, and Cricut/Silhouette crafters to create income with the hobbies they already invest time in. Carina is a fabric designer for Riley Blake Designer and a die-cut designer for Silhouette and can speak about working with manufacturers and getting contracts. Her favorite topic, however, is helping designers create a steady income from selling their work digitally. Her program Design Suite grew to a multimillion-dollar business in less than 3 years due to Carina emphasizing community building, listening to members' needs, and building coursework/awards that members love. @https://carinagardnershop.myshopify.com/ #CreativeEntrepreneurship #HobbyToBusiness #SmallBizGrowth #CraftingForProfit

Finding Calm in Chaos: Daily Habits for Family Serenity
Rebeccah Silence Self-Healing and Relationship Expert. Heal Yourself so You Can Heal Your Family! Rebeccah Silence grew up in an alcoholic and abusive home. With the best intentions, she thought the more she "took it" and stayed "silent," it would lessen the abuse. Terrified and frozen, she always knew there had to be a better way. Though she survived domestic violence, she was left with a damaged self-esteem and self-worth. She developed anorexia and abused alcohol in the absence of having healing coping skills. Part of her self-healing attempts included becoming a music therapy intern at a state psychiatric hospital. She soon discovered many of the patients weren't mentally impaired. Most patients merely did not have healing coping skills. It was then she decided to become an expert in human behavior. She had a dream of a life filled with healthy love and a healed family without a plan. With a distorted view of healthy relationships and family dynamics, Rebecah's first marriage was doomed to repeat the same heartbreaking results caused by dysfunctional relationship patterns. Rebeccah found herself a single mom surviving an abusive marriage, working three jobs to create a safe and loving home for her family, and despite her best efforts, she went bankrupt.@https://www.instagram.com/rebeccahsilence/ #FindingCalm #FamilySerenity #RebeccahSilence #DailyHabits #StressManagement
Inclusion knows no boundaries. With Rebecca Vickers
I enjoy empowering teams, nurturing relationships, strategizing for client success, and creating systems that stick. Rebecca Vickers is a dynamic professional with experience in both digital marketing and operations. As VP of Operations at FMO Media, she thrives on coaching her team, cultivating client relationships, devising successful strategies, and developing effective systems. A firm believer in empowering others, Rebecca's goal is to foster stronger leaders, cohesive teams, and well-rounded individuals. Rebecca is a proud alumna of Loyola University Maryland (B.A.) and Villanova University (M.A.). I come from the theatre world in which there is a lot of chaos and I believe you can't create in chaos. You need organization, systems, and structure to truly be free to create. Having worked in nonprofit theatres where resources are scarce, drama creates tension both on and off stage, and you have to be versatile, I've used the early skills I learned to create a varied career and path for myself which I've now used to help individuals and businesses develop and grow.@https://www.facebook.com/rebecca.j.cureton/

Healing mental illness authentically and honestly With Dr. Fred Moss
Dr. Fred Moss: The “Un-Doctor” is a mental health advocate/psychiatrist serving in many capacities: keynote speaker, psychiatry expert witness, podcaster, mental health coach, and teacher. A desire to help people be real and heard has been the driving force leading him to multiple settings and roles as a psychiatrist over the years and compelling him to continually look for better, more effective ways to provide the highest quality care to align people with their most authentic self to deliver into an eagerly awaiting world. Initially drawn to psychiatry by the allure of exploring communication and human connections as primary tools for healing, Dr. Fred witnessed a paradigm shift in the 80s. A transformation within the medical community saw a shift towards diagnosing patients with biological and chemical imbalances, relying heavily on medications as the primary solution for life's distress. However, Dr. Fred, observing the potential harm caused by this approach, embarked on a groundbreaking mission to reclaim lives from the clutches of psychiatric diagnoses and medication. In 2006, Dr. Fred pioneered a new methodology, working closely with a select group of patients who sought an alternative path to healing. Remarkably, these individuals not only improved but, in some cases, saw their diagnoses completely vanish. @https://welcometohumanity.net/ #MentalHealthMatters #HealingJourney #AuthenticHealing #MentalWellness #MindfulHealing #DrFredMoss
