I wished that I took the hints to stop drinking i, like many, knew I was drinking way too much. I was in hospital so many times but I just didn’t take the hint. I just thought I’d be ok, I’ll stop next time, it didn’t kill me last time, until it nearly did.
I was laying there in hospital for the 6th time, half the weight I was normally, I couldn’t even stand up on my own. I was so sick this time that I ended up having a Cardiac arrest and had to have open heart surgery. I lay there thinking of my 3 little Nieces, I thought about my hopes and dreams when I was little and how I never even gave mine a shot..
Then it struck me, I really wanted to be a role model to them, my dream was to act and sing and I had to get better to do that!
My parents came here from India back in 1963 and settled in Leicester, my mother and father worked extremely hard to give is all the things they couldn’t have. I’m the 2nd oldest of 5 children, my oldest sister is also in the arts as a professional singer of 25 years+. I love to sing and act throughout my younger school years but I decided to do my degree in Business and Technology. Then after becoming seriously ill I decided to follow my dreams and started to write and sing songs and started acting and today I do this fun job full time and never looked back since.
Steve proves that it is never too late to follow your dreams!

Mike Warren: "A few years back I was a fat, lazy alcoholic, eating crappy food but believing I was clever and successful. Deep down I knew my kids, family and career deserved better, so I made the decision to clean up my act and get healthy. Now I am passionate about helping my mates do the same and live the life we all deserve."

Fear and procrastination has affected all of us at one time or another. It has robbed us of time... of lost income and opportunities to advance our careers. In this interview Jimmy Roos, an admitted former nervous and fearful wreck, takes us behind the scenes to show us what happens when we are fearful and procrastinate. He then shows us how to eliminate the negative beliefs and wrong perceptions we have of ourselves and the world so that we can emerge with confidence and power to become the unstoppable beings we know we can be.
Jimmy Roos is a certified life coach, a public speaker and author of The Winning Code, an inspirational book. Jimmy overcame childhood abuse and the accompanying low self-esteem and debilitating fears to rise above his circumstances.

Join me in this interview with Zuhaib from England!
"My Name is Zuhaib and I help men to face the darkest part of themselves and to find clarity and success to become the man they always desire to be. I believe what ever has happened to us in the past, we cannot change it. It’s part of us, we just need to acknowledge it and accept it and use it towards our success.
Why is it so important to focus on men?
- Men who feel as though they are unable speak openly about emotions may be less able to recognize symptoms of mental health problems in themselves, and less likely to reach out for support. Sometimes they are afraid of being judged and labelled.
- Men are expected to “Behave” in a certain way in the society (more so in certain cultures and countries) and the whole concept of masculinity can be misinterpreted. "

In Michelle's words:
Social drinking is a way to fit in and be a part of a group yet when you choose to say no everyone treats you like you are no fun. The crowd will tell you to loosen up just one drink can’t hurt. But, truth is drinking doesn’t give you confidence. In fact, it creates numbness in your body and brain so that your thoughts are unclear and your body’s reactions slower and uncoordinated as you become drunk. The false confidence created by the boost of sugar from the alcohol is temporary and leads to dangerous consequences especially if the person wants to drive. I will cover the ways to say no thanks without guilt or regret. Tune in to hear the best ways to gain confidence with others without a drink of alcohol.
I have experienced the damaging effects of alcoholism through my family and friends who hurt themselves or others in auto accidents when they were drunk. Also, as a child I saw the negative effects of alcoholism within my family trying to hide the problem and not dealing with it. We all make choices about how we want to live our lives however being responsible about how we react to our circumstances takes courage not to give in and mask our pain through alcohol.
I coach people to help them dissolve their stress and anxiety about their lives so they can make healthy choices confidently that eliminates their desires to drink alcohol.
I offer an introductory coaching package (4 weekly sessions) to gain clarity on how to quickly relieve stress and/or anxiety instead of reaching for a drink or two to solve the problem.

More and more people suffer from depression and feel helpless, powerless and hopeless with such a fate. Many of them begin to consume drugs or alcohol (or both) to numb their emotions. But we have much, much more power over our life-boat than we may ever believe….even when we are standing in front of a wall of adversity. Depressions are not a given and can be transformed by the individual themselves. The goal for every person who suffers from depression is to develop a feeling of having control over their life…the certainty that it is possible to gain their power back

Samantha is a business owner and advocate, and is on a mission to help others become advocates for themselves. There are multiple sides to addiction, and her goal is to help those who were or are in similar situations to what she experienced. Learn from her story and continue to grow, love and support your addict and yourself.
In Samantha's words: "Oftentimes, we stand too close to the screen and do not realize how toxic the situations we are in are for us. It wasn’t until after losing my fiance to a drug overdose, that I realized how much his addiction had affected our lives, and how he would continue to have an impact as I continued to live without him."
It was a real honor to talk to Samantha.
