I had a delightful conversation with Laurie, she is insightful, light and engaging. We talked about her childhood dinner conversations where she learned to advocate for herself, quotes that moved her, her transition from a  New York City prosecutor to a legal commenter on news channels into her leap to becoming a communications coach in a whole different state. Laurie shares how she found the focus to chase her a new vision of her future  and she grew both personally and professional as she found her way. Laurie shared all this, including the important role her family has always played with warmth and humour.

Laurie Gilbertson is a former New York City sex crimes, organized crime, and homicide prosecutor, television legal analyst, educator, and entrepreneur.

Adele Engel had an interesting chat. She is 66 yet keeps getting reborn. Decades ago she choose a path of healing when confronted with a life changing devastating illness.  In our conversation she explains how she had an audience with the Dali lama, only to find he was not the most interesting, life changing person in the room.

We chat about how she found healing, how music with art has become therapy. She grins to say it is a bit woo woo, doesn't care and it all works. Our conversation travels over her curiosity, how she embraces a new thing, remains open and active with new possibilities.

She talks about how breathing can induce psychedelic states and of course about her nutritional blend that I use.  I think you will enjoy our new age conversation. Have a listen.

About Adele Engel
Adele Engel is a Master Teacher/Facilitator in Spiritual Psychology, is a Soul Centered Certified Coach, Certified Yoga Instructor, Biofeedback Therapist, Aura Soma Level 3 Colour Specialist , and Certified Breathwork Teacher plus a student of many Shamanic Schools.  She is also a certified Health Coach and Nutrition Coach, a superfood formulator and biohacking researcher and is a medical EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique aka tapping) facilitator.  Adele holds University degrees in History, Arts Education, English Literature and Language Arts Education.

 She supports her clients, friends and family in emotional healing, spiritual evolution, practical action, physical movement and energetic awakening. 

Adele sees the breath as our life force and a portal to  the healing and transformation we are looking for. We all struggle with traumas and challenges of the past and present, and we all search for ways to move through the stress or pain they cause. Tapping into our breath, along with movement, music, rhythm and visuals and using breathwork as a tool to unlock stuck emotions and let go of past traumas and limiting beliefs is one of the most powerful healing modalities available.  Adele combines this with “right” thinking, movement, hydration, nutrition and service.

 Adele also reaches deeply into  mystical and psychological studies mixed with Art and Music Therapies as a way to access  insight and feedback into who we are, how we operate, and what we came to this life to do. A little woo woo, a lot of fun, highly educational, deep work mixed with a lot of ancient and current wisdom = any given day in Adele’s world.  

 She just completed editing a book on breathwork to be released in 2022.  

In her mountain home set in the boreal forest, Adele is surrounded with musical instruments, colour therapy tools, crystal beds, Pulsed Electric Magnetic Field equipment, Vibration Sound Healing Bed, Mind Art Colour Experiences, Essential Oil Blending Lab, a Superfood Pharmacy, Laser Healing Equipment: in essence all things healing through light, colour, vibration, sound and movement.

 Currently, she is working with an enlightening team, on a new superfood blend to be released shortly in 2500 health food stores as an initial “drop” into the market: a market that is flooded with superfood powder blends.  So stay tuned, because this one is finely tuned into an elevated nutritional and shen (spirit) enhancer.  There is no point in re-creating the wheel.  In short: expect a heightened quality with all things eco-friendly.

 Oh:  Adele considers herself retired!  That is laughable.

Chelsea Jones, what a delight to chat with. Her easy smile and quick laugh arrive before you realize how sharp and creative her mind is. The thread of her life so far has been helping those disadvantaged restoring bodies and minds.  She has big goals, achieves them in what she calls small bits, yet for most people they would be considered long strides. Chelsea is humble in relating her Occupational Therapist work with the Canadian Armed Forces members. I believe the members of our forces deserve all the support we can give them for what they do for us, proud of her for that.

  Her photography will take your breath away, as it has many judges.

We chat about her systems for reaching her big goals, how she balances her life-work ratio, which is hard when you love both so dearly.  She relates the influences in her life; how she has embraced her path from that. It is a cheery conversation that I think will give you some rich insights that you can use yourself.

Sara De Raaf is a young woman with focus. Her go-to phrase is "Just give 'er" When she focuses on something it pretty much happens. 

She is driven by accountability and responsibility. She really carves out her own path, accepting and working with whatever comes her way. With all that, you would be surprised she is quiet and rather bashful. She works full time in a metal shop, but side hustles with a self-published magazine, models while increasing getting behind the lens in her new photography angle. In the middle of COVID, she leased studio space.. 

This mom of two has a  relationship with her two children, 21 and 11 that is open and honest. Sara cultivated the no topic is out of bounds, no judgement (although she does bit her tongue) and guidance.

Oh, and she lost the bodyweight of an entire person over the last 18 months. That changed a lot in her life.    Sara has not had it easy, doesn't really care, just pushes ahead with her dreams and plans. 

Sara DeRaaf Bio
I am a 37-year-old model from the small town of Brooks, Alberta, Canada, born and raised. I have always grown up in small towns most of my life and a few farms. So I am not afraid to get dirty. I consider myself a bit tomboy/redneck, but always have that girly side to me. Love to get out and have fun and get dirty. I graduated high school a year yearly and continued onto college after that, graduating with a Business and Accounting Diploma. And have been working since. I currently run a large machine shop in my hometown and love the hard work and getting my hands dirty and putting in any and all effort to get the job done. 

 I also have been working as a model for 6 years now and am looking to expand my modelling portfolio.  I have expanded further and taken up photography as well and have been doing that now for two years. Just recently opened my own studio located in Brooks.

 I am all inked Girl with 13 Tattoos (including sleeves) and three piercings and always adding more tattoos. I have grown to love adding artwork to myself and believe that our bodies are our temples, and I am just decorating the walls. I am plus size and tall. I am a hard-working mother to two kids, from ages of adult to just mid-school age and enjoy every minute of it. I love to work hard and keep busy. I currently run the machine shop with some modelling on the side, always looking to expand more with my modelling. I want to show others that size does not matter, everyone is beautiful and takes confidence to show the world.

High Conflict Divorce is exactly as it sounds. A relationship has or is on the way of not only a complete angry collapse it but a fight on many destructive levels. It takes a lot to get through it. Trish gives clarity on what it is and means. How a woman entering this level of conflict can be prepared.

Julie Scott loves to talk. It was one of the joys she found about herself, making this episode a wonderful chat. Julie talks about how she used humour to deflect criticism or awkward moments. Looking back, she found she was constantly hiding herself, becoming a people pleaser to her detriment. Owning up to who she was, who she wanted to be, what her boundaries were, all came with a price, top of that list was her marriage.

It took a journey of several years, one she is still on, to find her happy place. She now steps fully into the richness of her life and relationships. 

In our conversation, we explore her trigger points of discovery and pivoting—gems of insight, lots of laughing too. A path does emerge with touchstones that you might find of value too. 

Julie Scott BIO
Julie is a Self Expansion Coach, Developer of the Confidence Blueprint, a speaker, author and lover of cats.

She is a life coach who thrives on helping mature women prioritize their needs and gain confidence so they can stop worrying about “being enough” and start living life. 

A self-proclaimed “feel-good junkie,” Julie is someone who personally experienced decades of struggling with people-pleasing, over-giving and low self-esteem; the end of her marriage is the wake-up call she needed to change her future. By uncovering unhealthy beliefs and patterns, Julie has learned to accept, trust and love herself, and she’s helped hundreds of other women do the same through her free  Facebook group and private and group coaching sessions. 

Julie currently lives in Palm  Springs, California and is truthfully living the confident life she always dreamed of.
