In Stacy's words:
Life is rhythm and we each have a song to sing and a story to write. Choices, circumstances, honor, fear, courage, joy and character are all instruments in the orchestra of our life. Me can merely dance to the music, left to its own devices, consequence deciding the beat. Or, by grace and acceptance, with courage and honor, we can decide to be the conductor of our own symphony.
I am 36 yrs happily married, a mother of 3 and “mom” to a multitude. I have 5 beautiful grandchildren and strive to leave a legacy of gratitude and grace. I spent 40 yrs as a dance instructor/ choreographer, 15 yrs as a rodeo preacher and 12 yrs as a Family Services Specialist for addiction and mental health. I have traded the 1st half for the 2nd half to operate Enlighten Up where we focus on illuminating the path from existence to significance. One of my new joys is co-hosting The Hero Builder Podcast.
Stacy's 3 top tips
- You are the author of your story
- Coincidence happens on purpose
- It is all a great big circle covered with the consequences of our choices.
Stacy's special offer to my listeners and viewers:
To help break the stigma that “Coaching” is about having someone order you around and point out your shortcomings, I will offer 1 complementary 20 min Enlightenment session to anyone that responds to this show by sending me an email at Enlightenup.stacyj@gmail.com. Please put “Stephan sent me” in the subject bar.

In Felicia's words:
My expertise is in helping people to live. What do you mean by that?
A lot of of people walking around this earth dead. They forgot what it means to live and to be connected to something greater than them.
We’ve been conditioned for so long to think a certain way, to do certain things in life to be considered successful.
Very few of us take a moment to pause and ask ourselves, what the hell am I doing?
Is what I’m doing supporting my life purpose and is it making me happy?
Everything begins with our mind. Somewhere along our life path, we forgot who we truly are. In school, we were told continuously what’s acceptable, what’s our limitation, what’s possible and what we should do.
This will lead to unhappiness and the feeling of un-fulfillment. We quiet our inner voice/intuition and conditioned to look at ‘facts’ of life.
I want to help people have an epiphany through a simple storybook to bring this deeper message of life to them before bedtime. I want them to use this as a tool to facilitate much needed conversations with their loved ones and friends.
Alcoholism or any type of addiction often times stems from unhappiness. Therefore, we’re trying to numb our emotions to escape from our reality.
I want to help them take that first baby step to create an easy organic way to start dealing with their demons. To see the light in the darkness and met them where they are. We can’t help people by telling them what to do. We need to start to listen and take the time to understand ourselves, what makes us tick and embrace both our shadows and lights.
Felicia's top 3 tips
1. Only 2% of the population is living their dream. Decide what kind of live and legacy you want.
2. What are emotions and how to use emotions as strengths?
3. What’s your story? What have you been telling yourself that prevent you from living your dream? Start making small changes everyday and share tips to start making progress toward your happiness.

In Blake's words:
As was the case for me, so many people who are affected by substance use disorders feel lost in their disease. The disease became my identity so finding sobriety meant I was stripped of that and had to start over. This is the greatest gift recovery offers us. We are given the opportunity to start over and finally become the person that is aligned with our core values. Recovery gave me my identity and taught me that I can be accepted for exactly who I am.
Blake Cohen is a Certified Addictions Professional through the Florida Certification Board, a Certified Life Coach, has a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida Atlantic University, and is currently earning his Master's Degree in Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. Fueled by passion, education, and his professional, personal & family experiences with addiction, Blake aims to assist those that have been directly, or indirectly, affected by Substance Use Disorders towards a path of understanding and healing.
He is also the best-selling author of the book, “I love you, More: Short Stories of Addiction, Recovery, and Loss from the Family’s Perspective” that can be found on Amazon.
Blake's 3 top tips:
1. Be patient with yourself
2. Finding Recovery isn't a one size fits all approach
3. What makes you weird is what makes people love you

I have had the pleasure of talking to Lisa King about her journey:
"I wanted and needed to know who Lisa was without the alcohol. After my partners suicide and my subsequent breakdown, I needed to make a choice.
Alcohol was my go to, to celebrate, to commiserate, if I was happy, if I was stressed. I was at a crossroads, do I continue living the life behind the masks, with all the coping mechanisms, or do I choose the life of truly loving me, I CHOSE ME."
Lisa King is an International Speaker, TEDx Speaker, International Best Selling Author, Mentor and Clarity Trailblazer. Lisa runs challenges, creates workshops, hosts events, creates courses. Her passion is to empower and inspire people to fulfill their brilliance and live life on their terms. Lisa has also been nominated for this years Pride of Britain Award.
Lisa's passion is to inspire our next generation as well as those who are capable of achieving so much more, they just need reminding of how amazing they are, to show them what they are capable of.
Lisa's top 3 tips
1. It is all about you, others may not understand your journey, your reasons, your wants or your why. As long as you do, You've Got This.
2. Our past does not define who we are, take one step at a time and change your future by living in the present.
