“People tend to say ‘I will die trying.’ But why not live trying?” - Jack McGuire Perspective really is everything. And once you meet Allié and Jack McGuire of Awareness Ties™ you will believe in possibility again. They say they are never the same person after sharing the stories of humanity. We know we are forever changed by sharing time and holding space for their story. May we all become “curators of hope.” https://iamawarenow.com/ About Allié and Jack Our story is one of positive social impact. In a world in need of change for the better, just where should that change begin? In today's society, with so many causes that need support, we wondered where to start. It was after an event in LA that we began creating awareness for causes using ties to show support. After all, we're all tied to a cause. In 2017, the idea began in Hollywood with a 'Gold Tie' event to empower social impact filmmakers with a symbol of support to be worn - a gold tie to represent the 'gold standard' in positive social impact to which these filmmakers held themselves. This led to our 'aha' moment. Upon leaving LA and heading back to the Midwest, over the course of our flight and a 4 hour conversation, we realized that these ties, these 'symbols of support', could (and should) come in all colors to support all kinds of causes. They should support not just filmmaking but change making. These ties could be more than accessories; they could be symbols, statements and conversation starters to support multiple causes by raising much needed awareness. It was then and there that Awareness Ties began with a collection of ties… But the ties were just the beginning. After the ties came the ambassadors, the campaigns, the publications and the talks. What started out as a ‘symbol’ for awareness became as ‘stage’ for causes. As a social impact platform, Awareness Ties now continues to write new chapters with the addition of new causes, ambassadors, partners and sponsors.

The Basics of Trust with Hilary Bilbrey and Sonja Montiel, cofounders of The DH Effect. Trust is the foundation of every strong relationship. It is also a muscle that can be developed. How? It starts by truly becoming self-aware and then working on the Four Cores of Credibility according to Stephen M.R. Covey. It starts with us. Are we living in integrity? Do we have positive intent? Are we growing in our capabilities? Are we producing results? When we can answer a strong yes to all four of these questions, then we have high credibility, leading to high trust.

Suzy Q Winn grew up in a small town, on a farm, learning to survive of the land, before she left for the Army at 17. At 18 she was standing in the desert for the Persian Gulf War. 2 years later, she heard the words, “You have cancer”. Suzy Q was a single mom with a 6 month old son. After given a 50/50 chance of surviving 5 years, she chose to leave the Army to spend whatever time she had with her son. She became a cosmetologist then moved to AZ and began working at the Sheriffs office, first as a dispatcher, then as a Deputy Sheriff, where Suzy Q served for 18 years before resigning due to physical and mental health reasons. Suzy Q began her trauma healing in 2019 after VA told her that she had complex PTSD and major depression disorder. She began writing this book in 2014, after several people told her that she needed to share her story as a light of hope and inspiration for others, as she had overcome many traumatic incidents. After she had the outline, Suzy Q was stuck in the trauma cycle and was unable to continue writing, “Hope Blooms in a Garden of Faith” until 2020. She was in therapy for the continuation of this book, and spent the summers of 2020 and 2021, in the forest, where she continued to write and began to heal. She had along way to go, but this book allowed her to purge a lot of the trauma, beginning in her childhood. It was through the love and support of her husband, son and daughter that she was able to continue my journey of healing and finishing this book. https://www.instagram.com/suzy_q_winn_author/ https://www.instagram.com/hopewarriorprincess13/ https://m.facebook.com/SuzyQWinn/ Connect with The DH Effect: https://www.thedheffect.com/

Her process is simple yet effective, giving students the ability to actively take control of their paths to success. She started teaching at Los Angeles Pierce College and quickly realized that struggling students were not having issues due to challenging material, but were failing because they did not know how to study. Archer then designed and led several study skills seminars at Pierce and ran a program at the college learning center dedicated to helping students learn how to learn. After several years at LAPC, she branched out into the community and for the past 15 years has been helping students of all ages discover their own paths to success. ENGAGE WITH US!

The story began in 2011 when John's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and when he found out, he was filled with so much emotion. He felt alone, scared and most of all helpless because he didn't know how to help his mother. He wanted everyone to care and learn about what he was experiencing with her and her struggle to overcome this disease. He quickly realized that he wasn't the only child in the world facing breast cancer with their mother nor the possibility that he could lose her. At his mother’s bedside, he started hearing all these stories of courage from the doctors, nurses, and later the families of the patients he met who also lived in fear of losing someone very close to them. The activism light had officially become lit. Growing up, John's mother was a baton twirler. Twirling was a passion that connected both of them. He has had a very extensive career twirling that has landed him in front of national audiences. With his entertainment experiences, he wanted to elevate the sport and infuse baton twirling into building awareness around what it is to be a cancer survivor. Twirling to Fight Cancer was created with love and respect for those who are survivors and stood on the battlefield with their loved ones. John wanted to make an impact and give the community of baton twirlers that they belong to a mission. He wanted to serve the sport and give it a purpose through entertainment, education, and enlightenment. John believes that this movement not only promotes the sport but most importantly helps to save lives and puts smiles on the faces of those who are fighting the fight and those who are helping them in the battle. John has been blessed with the opportunity and drive to create this wonderful foundation. It is a celebration for the women and men that are alive and still fighting strong, as well as a commemoration for those who are no longer with us. Twirling to Fight Cancer strengthens us in spirit. Twirlers, respect the fight, motivate to be more and open their hearts to love so the cancer war can be won. John's goal was to care enough to make a difference and be a real agent of change. He is still marching forward as seen with our T2FC Logo and twirling his way to be the change he wishes to see.

ABOUT NATASHA: To call writing a passion would be an understatement for Natasha Sattler. Raised in Maryland, Sattler was always one to seek creative endeavors. In grade school, she would write full TV scripts, put on plays for her family, and keep journals as a form of self-expression. Sattler went to the University of Central Florida at the age of 17 to study Filmmaking, with a concentration in screenwriting. She graduated three years later with a Bachelor’s Degree and a desire to hit the ground running in the entertainment industry. When she moved to Los Angeles just ten days after graduating college, her left brain took over and she found herself quickly in the role of Producer for broadcast commercials. Despite the fact that she spent her days producing, her love of writing never faded. After nearly a decade working in commercials, feature films, and movie trailers, Sattler found her way into the print medium. In 2020, she began her foray into authorship, writing Shit Adults Never Taught Us in just six weeks. Sattler currently lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Kingston. Whenever possible, she packs a bag and travels around the world, having been to over a dozen countries by the time she turned 30. When she’s home, her hobbies include hiking and consuming all of the coffee, cheese and pasta within reach. ABOUT LOUISE: Louise Masin Sattler was born and raised in New York, but now lives in California with her husband of 30+ years. She is a psychologist, digital strategist, and content creator (especially for her company- Signing Families).
