I filled grocery bags, played the drums in an all-girl heavy metal thrash band, sold lottery tickets, got a Master's degree in counseling psychology, worked in a psychiatric emergency room, led various non-profit events, and ran group therapy. I settled in corporate America as a Domestic Operations Manager for just shy of 20 years in a profession that had nothing to do with my degree, traveling the country in limousines, airplanes and did a lot of fine dining.  Sounds important, right? Or dysfunctional, you pick. Nothing could prepare me to watch my Mother die and suffer for eight months from ovarian cancer. No job, no fancy degree, no experience. Like me, this book is eclectic.  I call it a memoir/ self-help. My goal is to keep the promise that I made to my Mom, one late night in her hospital room while she was suffering yet another complication of the shit diagnosis of cancer.You will learn what my family learned the hard way while being by my Mother's side the entire time.  All of it.  The mistakes, the emotion, false hope, the waits, and the love we all shared as a family unit at the most heartbreaking time of my life.   Each chapter represents every month from diagnosis to death, and lessons and tips to help you advocate for your loved ones through example, find your voice, and understand your rights in a very complicated, fucked up, and imperfect healthcare system.-Connect with Melissa!Website: https://www.melissamullamphy.com/Book Not In Vain, A promise kept: https://www.amazon.com/Vain-Promise-Kept-Melissa-Mullamphy/dp/1734802634If you're looking for a team to help you with your podcast, Pod2Go can help you!

After struggling for years with undiagnosed endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR, unable to participate in traditional IUI or IVF methods, she was able to get to the bottom of her infertility issues via continual changes to her diet and lifestyle.Now she fiercely shares her story and the stories of others as a means to give hope to those still on the path to creating the family of their dreams. Dissatisfied with the way reproductive endocrinology (REI) medicine handles common infertility issues, Erica is determined to disrupt the entire reproductive medical system. Empowering infertility patients by creating a standard of care and testing path through which to collaborate and coordinate with their doctors has become her mission. This approach allows the patients to systematically address and remove all obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive IUI and IVF treatments.Connect with Erica!Website: https://ericahoke.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/infertilityempoweredInstagram: https://instagram.com/infertilemomof4Free Resources found on Website:Consultation CallFertility ChecklistBook: Infertility Success - Stories of Help and Hope For Your Journeyhttps://www.amazon.com/Infertility-Success-Stories-Help-Journey-ebook/dp/B09LTF9TLCIf you're looking for a team to help you with your podcast, Pod2Go can help you!

It's more than what people on social media think!You can create the life that you want.The importance of facing the consequences of our decisions and learning from mistakes.If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.Success can never be achieved alone. Being in a community is essential in life.It takes time to get to a place where change is noticeable.The need for everyone to ask for help.Forming new frameworks and understanding of yourself.And much more!Remember, you have a choice. About Michael Anthony:I didn't sign up to be the spokesman for survivors of child abuse. In fact, this job sucks. I mean that. The truth is that the universe chose me for this role. I have been gifted the ability to navigate the most harsh and vicious child abuse to come out on the other side seemingly whole. I say seemingly because there will always be a part of me that was stolen. I cannot get that back. None of the rage, drugs, sex, rock n' roll, or anger will give me that thing that was stolen.The world is both beautiful and brutal and I have seen the best and the worst of it. I know that the abuse I suffered has given me an undeniable strength that I was only able to tap into after falling face first into complete darkness. There is truth in understanding that Mindset is Everything. There are no shortcuts, trust me I've tried them all. There is hard work and on the backside of that is getting your life back.Think Unbroken is about sharing the tools and skills I have created and leveraged over a lifetime to help other people break free of The Vortex and become the person that they know they are capable of being.

I learned a variety of modalities, both body centered and those with a focus on energy. I apprenticed with a shamanic practitioner and participated in various Earth healing practices. As I reconnected with the natural world I spent more time in nature and began using flower essences as a personal support system. I was overjoyed when I started co-creating my own essences. At times I felt these allies from the nature kingdom literally kept me on this earth! Then came the study of visionary craniosacral therapy which has become one of my great loves.  My love and study of astrology continues to grow and is a lens that informs my sessions. I continue to have the honor of studying with amazing teachers and guides in all these fields, both from the seen and unseen world. Almost twenty years later, I am still learning and growing. That will never stop! I have created AstroSoma sessions as a means to encompass all my loves and passions and offer them to my clients in support of their spiritual journey of self-knowledge.  You can find Claudia Comerci on...Website: https://www.claudiacomerci.com/Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/StarandRoot Connect with Denise DeShetler!Website https://denisedeshetler.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/phapodcastjunkiesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/denisedeshetler/
