My guest today is Amanda Elise Love . Amanda is a registered holistic nutritionist who works with those with fibromyalgia . She wants you to know the meaning of the word holistic with talking about nutrition and supplements. To think of the word holistic is to realize that it means the integration of the mind ,body and spirit when addressing health issues. She has a long history of illness which culminated with the diagnosis of fibromyalgia at the age of 20 over 10 years ago. She knows this syndrome because she has been there. She no longer suffers from the pain , fatigue and headaches of this syndrome. Now she helps those with fibromyalgia do the same.
Amanda's 3 top tips
1. Food should be your number one focus to improve your health.
2. Not one thing is going to fix your fibromyalgia.
3. Number One focus with Fibromyalgia is getting that deep restorative sleep

In Lisa's words:
I escaped my traumatic childhood through humor. This later became my business.
Improvisation is a superbly useful tool I teach others for their businesses, projects and goals.
I'm the 'icebreaker queen', and I promise to not scare your introverts. 😃
Author, speaker, podcast host and embarrassing mom . . . I adore pranks and sharing creative tips to help others get unstuck with projects and energize team dynamics.
For two decades I ran and performed in a comedy and improv troupe and say; "You really should try this at home."
Lisa's 3 top tips:
1. Humor as a connector
2. Daring yourself daily
3. Creative tips to get unstuck

In Nancy's words:
I am dedicated peaking honestly and openly about taboo subjects, the traumas in my personal life story (sexual abuse, eating disorder, depression, dropping out of college, divorce, therapy...etc.) while creating safe space for others to do the same. I tell my story so that others have permission to tell theirs. I tell my story so that people who can find me when they need someone who can understand in a way only someone who has been there can.
Nancy has more than 20 years experience working as a Speech Language Pathologist focusing on the area of Social Cognition. She is passionate about her work, which helps individuals connect meaningfully with others and build community by strengthening communication skills. She brings this same passion to audiences when she bravely engages in conversations regarding her personal trauma, her healing ‘Spartan Race” and the tools she has gained that allow her to do more than survive. She has found a way to thrive and is dedicated to engaging in uncomfortable conversations about taboo topics in order to lift the shame and secrecy that surrounds them and share her experience to help others. She has conducted live (virtual) workshops and been a featured guest and speaker on live shows, podcasts and fundraising events.
Nancy's 3 top tips
1. Show-up, no matter where you are in your journey or how you’re feeling!
2. Expect life to be very ‘NOT Sexy’ at times. It is often ugly and snotty.
3. We all have important stories to tell. Share your story. Use your voice. Be heard.

To honor International Women's Day on the 8th of March I am talking to Mila Johansen, a public speaker, writing coach, teacher, and writer. She is the author of five books. She is a writing coach and has a new book coming out—21 Surprising Tips to Promote Your Book. She loves giving people permission to write their Short Book and teaches them how to do it. The Short Book can be used by entrepreneurs to become the expert in their field, to be a calling card or the outline for a longer book. Mila has published a book, From Cowgirl to Congress, available on Amazon and in bookstores, about her famous suffragette grandmother, Jessie Haver Butler, for the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote in August 2020. Mila lives on her organic citrus ranch in Northern California with her husband, four dogs and a cat.
Growing up in unimaginable situations as a child does not define you. Take inspiration from these stories of two women who overcame extreme poverty and dangers as children to go on to enjoy successful careers helping people in all walks of life. In the new book, From Cowgirl to Congress, Jessie Butler escaped a Colorado cattle ranch to become the 1st woman lobbyist in D.C. after putting together the Pulitzer School of Journalism. She went on to share the podium several times with Bernard Shaw and Eleanor Roosevelt. And later, in her early 90s, with Gloria Steinem and Marlo Thomas. Her granddaughter, Mila Johansen, who grew up in gangland, tells both their stories. No matter what your background, you can change the next chapter of your story and live your passion.
Mila's 3 top tips:
- Start -Just Start Or Start - Just Start--whatever your dream is.
- Write for 20 Min a Day Or Be inspired by other people’s stories
- Look at what others are writing in books, bios & descriptions or You are Enough!

Today I interview Pei-Ming Sun, an amazing woman that has reinvented herself from Taiwanese micro- and molecular biologist to stay-home single mother, small business owner as a real estate investor, a cooking instructor, a food truck operator, a small restaurant owner, then now an online entrepreneur as a life strategist to share key tips for a simple healthy lifestyle.
In Pei-Ming's words:
Life is SIMPLE. Being is what we have lost if we think life is difficult. Our dis-engagement from being true self has led us to inevitable suffering, addiction, depression, and even loss of willingness to live. It has been proven by science, our thought can create reality not only at both our conscious and subconscious levels but also at cellular level to change our biology. Thus, the only way to achieve healthy living is to re-discover our true self, nurture our mind and body, and live in a simple lifestyle that fits the best with our evolved human body.
Pei-Ming's 3 top tips:
1. Awareness
2. Balance
3. Consistency

Today I catch up with Denise Cloughley: author, former inmate at Capri Hospital and now a woman on a mission to show others that the past does not equal the future.
I met Denise first on a Friday in March 2014. We were both starting the holiday of a lifetime. 27000 nzd for 1 month full board at Capri Hospital. We were both broken people but had done extensive research into alcohol. As good alcoholics do, we quickly compared notes. Who has the higher liver function tests, where is the best place to hide a bottle. Fun stuff!
Fast forward 2503 days. Both Denise and I live lives so beautiful that yesterday becomes jealous of today. We both have found the power to love ourselves, something we both considered impossible.
Denise has written this book for one simple reason - to show that the past does not equal the future. She has done so in a beautiful way. The book is well written and its content is honest and incredibly humbling. If you struggle with addiction or have a loved one who does, read this book. It is a journal of hope and shows that with the right help, and willingness of the patient, miracles are not only possible but in fact to be expected.
