My Time Writing On-Air-Fundraising Scripts for NPR...
...taught me public personas that open wallets aren't an accident. They are built, deliberately, by a team, using a formula. Dynamic visibility isn't magic. It's a well-honed craft. As an award winning author and copywriter, I know that starts with our story. I was born in Michigan, born to a family of successful entrepreneurs. My father was a builder and taught me to build at age 8. I think I've always been a builder at heart. Businesses and buildings. In fact, I just finished building my own writing cabin! I knew I wanted to teach and empower as a stage presence at an early age. My mother said I would line my stuffed animals up and give them long talks about some pretty interesting things. My mother was fascinated and would often record these sessions. My childhood was full of fort building and bike riding. It wasn't all roses. Life was challenging for me. I fell in love at age 5...with a female. I didn't know then that would ever be anything but innocent. My family were fundamental Christians and as luck would have it, the 5 year old crush wasn't a passing phase. I spent the next 20 years hiding trying to keep everyone happy--but destroying myself. I soon realized, I would have to figure out how to cope with the pain of losing them if I was ever going to be happy. I did, but it left marks I wouldn't understand until later in life. After separating from my family, I went on to receive formal education at Wayne State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, with a degree in Public Affairs/Non-Profit Organization and Sociology. I gathered certification after certification, never quite feeling "ready enough". Sound familiar? I worked with clients in every way possible always seeking better ways to help them and myself. Over the years, I wrote 6 different manuscripts. I published none of them. I developed a self defeating habit of pulling back and hiding right before launches, visiblity or if I achieved a lot of attention. It took many years of healing work to realize that the trauma of losing my family the way that I did was impacting my ability to SHINE....and to fulfill my lifelong dreams and make the money I was capable of making. I studied tirelessly to learn why. I studied the connections between power, money, belonging and success and what I found astounded me. I share that here in these programs. It turns out, the successful, lasting combination of healing our ability to shine, is anchored in our psyche through body, mind and spirit....and daily practice. The most valuable skills I bring to my client work are 25 years experience with clients as a somatic release facilitator, breath worker, energy kinesiologist, certified in 3-in-One Brain Concepts® for wholistic integration. My work is trauma informed with a TOM (Trauma of Money) Certification, Crisis Counselor Certification and Clergy Counseling Certification. I am also a long time champion of IFS, Bert Hellinger's constellation work and combine it frequently with Post Tribal Shamanic healing skills. I share all of this to tell you....this...healing the things that keep you hidden is not only possible, it is what will make you SOAR! My story isn't over....but our story together is just beginning and I can't wait to see the impact you will make when you learn the skills of dynamic visibility.
Our nervous systems are incredibly wise. They will choose to protect us when they sense danger. You aren't failing when your instincts tell you to hide. You just haven't had the training and integration to choose d
