Julie Paulston is a transformational life coach who uses humour, life experience and strategies learned in her 31 years in recovery to empower women to reclaim their Divine inner phoenix. To rise from the ashes of their lives and rediscover who they were before the world told them who they should be. She has been a speaker and educator for over 10 years and has her own podcast Be the Phoenix of Your Own Life. Her courses give real-life, practical ways to learn, grow and live a life of purpose.
In her own words:
We were all born enough, we were all born Divinely inspired. We chose this path to overcome obstacles and create the life of our dreams. Somewhere along the way, we lost our focus and our direction. We allowed the voices of the outside to become louder than our inner knowing. We started using substances to dull the pain of losing our way. We started using alcohol to stop feeling the loss, the grief and the knowledge that we were destined for more. We adapted the role of victim and gave our dreams, hopes and inspiration to the bottle, the pills, and to the people in our lives hoping it would bring comfort. We gave our power away hoping for connection and a sense of belonging. It is time to remember who you are. It is time to remember your Divinity, your power and the reason you are here.
3 top tips:
1. Breathe, it is a moment. It will pass. It may feel like a kidney stone but it will pass.
2. Don’t do it on your own. There is power in connecting with those who are where you want to be.
3. Stop watching the news!! It stands for Nothing Ever Worth Seeing!!!! Positive in/positive out!

In Jeff's words: On 10/4/16, our oldest son, Seth died from a heroin overdose. Battling alcoholism, past gambling addictions, divorce and now losing a child seemed to push me to the brink. Today at 55 years old I stand a better man.
I will tell you how I did this and what I discovered along the way. All the while building and running a multi-million dollar business. Death can be a very efficient teacher and I am very grateful for what it has offered to me in the form of gratitude, compassion and love. I am no victim, just the contrary.
My name is Jeff Johnston. I am 55 years old and own a wealth management firm located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After the death of our oldest son, Seth, at the age of 23 to a heroin overdose in 2016, I decided I would honor him in the only way I knew how.
I stopped drinking, wrote a book called, This One’s For You: An Inspirational Journey Through Addiction Death and Meaning, formed a non-profit, The Choices Network, Ltd. and founded The Living Undeterred Project. I am just getting started.
3 top tips
1. Pain is unavoidable, suffering is a choice
2. Embrace Impermanence
3. Happiness is an illusion, we should strive for peace in our lives

My book is “This One’s For You: An Inspirational Journey Through Addiction Death and Meaning published 9/25/20 which would have been Seth’s 27th birthday.
