Scar Release with Cody Byrns

DJ Hariford: "I was raised in a christian family. I have always known God and was aware of his presence in my life. Somehow I could never land a job in full time ministry, so I have spent most of my spare time in volunteer ministry since 1987, in addition to my secular employment. Those activities/ministries included; Drama, puppets, teen ministry, praise and worship band, and small group leader. During most of those years I was also writing for a prison ministry that began as "River of life" but ultimately became "Prospecting in the Word." I wrote an article which I called "DJisms". It was my personal mission to help our recent christian readers understand these new Christianese words and terms, as well as challenge a more mature christian to look at a word they know in a different way. My greatest delight is getting a response of "I never thought about it like that before!" A few years ago God told me to write a book. I had no plans to write one. In following His lead, I compiled a list of my top articles for the last many years based on survey results. The result is an encouraging book filled with some very revealing stories from my life as they were the inspiration for my articles. "The First Book of Isms" is raw, honest and human. Most of all, it's God revealing His wisdom and power in real situations." "The First Book of Isms" is available on Amazon!

Angela helps people break free from their negative self-judgments and empower themselves.  As a recovering perfectionist and control freak, she offers practical tips and guidance in experiencing a more fulfilling, ease-filled and productive life.  She reaches people through professional speaking, coaching, and management consulting. As a child, she was raised in a strict, abusive environment which encouraged her to become a "Perfect Chinese Princess" rather than to embrace who she really was.  She hung on to perfection and control as her main tool, and as a result she didn't realize until later in her life just how abusive she had become, both to herself and others. Her recovery from that, to become her happy, authentic self, is a journey she likes to help others to take. An integral part of self-love is understanding the difference between discipline and abuse, especially self-abuse. She brings awareness to the mind's tendency to act as an 'inner bully' in that it can be focused on achieving a perfection and ultimate control that is illusory, and ultimately harmful to the self.  She helps individuals to transform and quiet the mind, so that our minds can become an ally rather than a contractive force in our lives.    As a result of a fierce ‘fire in the belly’ passion for expansion and self-empowerment, for the past 20 years she has spent a week per month studying with The Wonders. She has chosen to be part of an intense life-long program, and as a result she has become a Certified Teacher of The Wonders, which means she walks her talk about experiencing more love and ease, and can help you to do the same.
