Dr. Ramani was the co-host of Oxygen’s series My Shopping Addiction, and has also been featured on series on Bravo, the Lifetime Movie Network, National Geographic, the History Channel, Discovery Science, and Investigation Discovery as well as in documentary films on health and narcissism. She has been a featured commentator on nearly every major television network, as well as radio, print, and internet media. Dr. Ramani is also involved in national governance in the field of psychology and has served as the chair of the Committee on Socioeconomic Status at the American Psychological Association and is presently chair of the Advisory Board of the Minority Fellowship Program of the American Psychological Association. Dr. Ramani is on a mission to demystify and dismantle the toxic influence of narcissism on all of our lives.  In my time with her I have found Dr. Ramani to be in that extraordinarily rare category of having both head and heart. Reading her books and listening to her speak I am amazed at the amount of knowledge and expertise she represents on so many topics. But being with her, is to feel completely at home, and welcomed, in a way typically reserved for the oldest of friends. Bottom line: This is one incredibly powerful, smart and purpose driven woman.

Mindshifting is possible using techniques or "technologies" that Donna has created and she will show you exactly how to release the power of creation, healing and manifestation that is your birthright. Does it work? In October of 2013, Donna suffered a massive center left brain stroke that left her muted excepted for 2 words. After being airlifted to the hospital all the specialists that examined her said that she would never regain full speech and it will take her 8-9 months to talk at all. But instead of buying into that diagnosis, she applied her own techniques and defying all medical explanation she recovered to full speech ability in just 3 days. Zig Ziglar said this about Donna, "At 6'5" she is someone we can all look up to, both professionally and physically." Her book Mindshift On Demand is a powerful playbook that gives you full access to the technologies you need to create the life you truly want.  Find more of Donna at: website for the book: (free 4 min. audio available) https://mindshiftondemand.com/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/biggirlpoker   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BigGirlPoker
