Awaken Hope

BETH MIMS Living a busy life as wife, mother, and nana, Beth fits writing into her everyday life. That is what she has always done. During school years and a forty plus year career as teacher, administrator, and educational consultant, her notebooks and journals were filled with ways that God was working in her life and the lives of those around her. She is convinced that God is always at work in the big things and in the everyday minutia of our lives, and her goal is to see His grace in these moments. In a world where negative messages are shouted from every media, she is called to speak God’s grace. Through her poetry and prose, His grace rings through loud and clear. Beth is a member of Word Weaver's International and an active member of the Page 23 Critique group. She serves in her church and stays busy helping with her grandchildren. She enjoys gardening and fishing with her husband, Eddy, whom she has been married to for forty-five years. Wrapped in Grace is her first book, but it will be quickly followed by her first children's book, How Christmas Came, which is set to release in November of 2026. Beth writes for Dressed in Love Press, LLC. She has previously published in: Time of Singing Journal of Christian Poetry Cantos, Missouri Baptist, Spring 2025 www.Christiandevotions.us Website: https://www.bethmims.com

Susan Wagner Bio: I am an intuitive energy healer guided by the loving presence of those who have passed on. With their support, I’m able to see emotional patterns and unresolved energies—both those once held by the departed and those still carried by the living. Together, we bring clarity to the emotional imprints that linger, helping my clients gently release what no longer serves them. My work is rooted in compassion, deep listening, and the belief that healing begins when we start loving the very experiences we once resisted. Through this process, clients awaken to their own inner truth and power—transforming pain into peace, and uncovering the beauty within their own journey.

Meet Blaz Marolt You started this business because you're good at what you do. Somewhere along the way, running the business became the job, and the actual work got pushed into evenings and weekends. Your business was built around you, and it still needs you in every decision to function. Imagine closing your laptop at 5 PM and not thinking about work until the next morning. That is not a fantasy and it does not take a year. WHO I WORK WITH Founder-led service businesses and consultancies that have outgrown their operations. Usually 3 to 30 people. Usually the founder is still the bottleneck for delivery, hiring, pricing, and everything in between. HOW IT WORKS Audit I find where the business is quietly bleeding time and money. 90 Day Plan We fix the 3 or 4 findings that matter most. You end with a business that measurably runs better, and you know exactly why. Fractional Retainer I own operations long-term, so the decisions stop landing on you. WHERE I HAVE DONE THIS Took a founder-led business from 600k to 1.2M as Chief of Staff. Built country operations at Glovo from scratch, held them stable through 59x growth, cut cost per order from 10.5 EUR to 4 EUR, then led a 100M+ EUR P&L across 8 countries. 6 industries. Teams from 4 to 120 people. Let's talk: https://calendly.com/maroltblaz/complimentary-consultation Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blazmarolt/

Addiction has been given various explanations - some regard it as a choice, a habit, a disease, a moral failure, brought on by traumatic experiences, or a combination. The Martial Art of Recovery offers a unique metaphorical approach to treating addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Techniques and concepts from American Kenpo, a martial arts style, intersect holistically with mental health and addiction treatment. Striking self-sabotage begins with a single move.  The following is a summary of the book’s contents:  Canadian transplant. Southern US born. Eric Fisher is a Canadian Certified Counsellor residing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Originally from Tennessee, he has over 15 years of experience working outpatient and inpatient treatment settings in the US and Canada. He has two books published at this time: The Martial Art of Recovery: Self-Mastery Practices to Subdue Addiction and Achieve Mental Wellness, and Buried Alive: Four Ways to Free Yourself from the Dirt.  Eric is a master practitioner of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), both of which are evidence-based treatments for trauma. Eric's private practice, Recovery Arts Counselling, serves individuals, couples, and families both locally and remotely. He also serves as an associate for local clinics in the surrounding area. In the past, Eric has supervised master's-level graduate students and counsellors early in their careers.  He has won multiple awards for screenwriting: "The Departure" - official finalist in biographical/historical genre - 2014 Beverly Hills Screenplay Contest.

Dr. Lewis Meline I began my education in nutrition, exercise, and weight loss while serving in the United States Air Force nearly fifty years ago. Like many other military personnel (and civilians for that matter), I was very overweight and out-of-shape. It really bothered me to be like this, so I began to study everything that I could find to help me lose weight and get in better shape, eventually deciding to lift weights.​ Many different athlete and other diets were used over the years. They included very high protein intake and a variety of supplements. The supplements were very expensive (nothing has changed in that regard) and there were many times when I could not afford them. After several years of blindly following the various diet plans, and using recommended supplements, I began to notice that the expected results were not being obtained. There was no difference in my strength and muscle mass during the times that I could take the supplements and when I couldn’t. I also noticed that losing weight was no different whether I did or didn’t take various supplements advertised to make you lose weight.  What was the cause of this? Was it poor supplements? Was I taking the wrong supplements or using them inappropriately? Maybe my workouts were inadequate or I was doing the exercises incorrectly or even using the wrong exercises. This observation bothered me and I began to research the answer to these discrepancies.​ During this time, I was accepted to medical school. Now, finally I would be able to get the answers that I sought. However, I was sorely disappointed. Medical school did not teach the physiology I was looking for and it did not address the nutritional questions I wanted to answer. It also did not address weight loss, except for a brief mention of the consequences of being overweight. Therefore, I could not resolve the discrepancies I had noted and was left to research this information on my own. I continued to study from textbooks and any other information that I could find. I also spent a lot of time studying physical exercise and ways to improve my workouts.  There were several vitally important discoveries that I made concerning Diet, Supplements, Weight Loss, Exercise and especially Health. My desire to educate people about my findings led me to write a book, “Lies Exposed.” This book educates people as to what is proper nutrition, and how to apply that information to lose weight while maximizing their health. This information is vital for anyone who is serious about wanting to lose weight. This is especially true, since most people seeking weight loss are not aware of the need to maximize their health, and that supplements and medications are more detrimental than beneficial. The knowledge contained in my book was used as a basis for developing the coaching programs used by Straight Shooter Health, a platform for helping people lose weight and maximize their health.

After all, you know it’s not just about money…Leisa shares... After working on the relationship I had with myself for over 20 years and then bringing these discoveries back into my relationship with money, I came to realize how common it is for many of us to get confused about what it means to truly value ourselves. More common than not, we believe our value comes from external sources like money, relationships, and beauty. However, this isn’t really what causes true self-value. Instead it comes from inside and no amount of money, or success for that matter, is going to change it. Which is why you can have all the money in the world and still feel poor inside.  True freedom comes as a result of improving how you feel about yourself. Many people lose out on money, time and opportunity every day because they don’t understand how to shift the inner narrative that impacts their their peace of mind. My work is unique because it comes, from the essential knowledge in my core, from my intuition, and from my skills, which have been refined for more than two decades of practice, during which I’ve worked with thousands of clients from all over the world. I share my knowledge with those who value it and dedicate their time and energy to a greater purpose: that of knowing themselves.  My approach is not mystical, it is practical. I inspire people to overcome their limitations. I believe true self-realization should generate an impact on the material dimension because that is where change can be actualized and applied. For many people, it isn’t until you go through this process that you achieve financial independence and economic freedom. Websites: www.moneycatalyst.com https://www.wealthclinic.com

Lynne-Anne McGrail is the founder of A Peaceful Transition, a division of A Better You, Inc. based in Los Angeles, CA. She has a Masters degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. She is certified as a Life Coach, an End-of-Life Doula (EOLD) and Doula Consultant through Doulagivers International. She also has her proficiency badge from NEDA-- National End of Life Doula Alliance.   Aside from her "official" certifications, Lynne-Anne feels she has been in training to become an EOLD her entire life. She first experienced death at a very young age when her brother tragically passed away at the age of 13 in a house fire. Later in life, she experienced a rapid series of deaths—among them her best friend, her dad (after a 7-year struggle with Alzheimer’s,) and most recently, her 32-year-old niece. These experiences generated a deep understanding of the fragility and preciousness of life, and how death can serve as a magnificent teacher in the art of living well. Her true purpose in life is to be of service to both those that are terminally ill, and also their loved ones; providing emotional, mental, and spiritual support when and where needed.  Lynne-Anne also believes that to have peace-of-mind at the end of life requires preparation. As such, her work in the community includes education around the importance of having a plan in place through advanced care directives, healthcare proxies, etc. These preparations can prevent and relieve enormous burdens and excessive stress in what is inevitably a stressful time for any family. She also firmly believes that the more we know and the better informed we are, the more peaceful the end of life can be for all involved. Toward that end she facilitates monthly "death cafes," casual, open and honest discussions around the end of life--free to the public--and dedicated to demystify and de-stigmatize the subject most of us try to ignore, but that we all inevitably face. Lynne-Anne feels it is an honor to serve in this way and invites anyone to reach out with any questions or comments. She can be reached at 310-367-5889.  Email: [email protected]  Website: www.apeacefultransitionla.com

AUTHOR, SPEAKER, PODCAST HOST I am Anne Peshka. Author, Certified Core Energy Coach, Speaker, and Podcast Host of Reinvention on Purpose — available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. I sold my house, packed what mattered, and started over at 55. Did it again at 60. My work is direct, my results are real, and I built everything you see here from scratch. I am not someone who read a book and called herself a coach. I have lived it. Decades of starting over, rebuilding from nothing, and figuring out what actually works when there is no safety net and no one coming to save you. That is what I bring to this work. And that is exactly why it works. My mission is simple: to help women stop living by default and start building the life they actually want. MY STORY I know what it feels like to carry things that should have broken you. Adoption. Abuse. Addiction. Years of making choices that almost erased me completely. I also know what it feels like to get back up. Every single time. I raised my kids as a single mom while working two and three jobs for decades. There was no safety net. No one coming to save me. Just me, deciding over and over again that this was not where my story ended. I have reinvented myself more times than I can count. Not because it was easy or because I had it figured out. Because staying stuck was never an option I was willing to choose. That is what true grit actually looks like. Not one dramatic comeback. Decades of showing up, doing the work, falling down, and getting back up before anyone was watching. I wrote about it in my memoir Trauma Recycled. Not because it was easy but because someone needed to see that you can build something extraordinary from the hardest material imaginable. I did. And I am not done yet. If I can do it, so can you. That is not a motivational line. That is just the truth. Website: https://annepeshka.com

Most notably, she made history as the first African American Radio City Rockette, breaking a long-standing color barrier in one of the world’s most iconic dance institutions. Her professional debut on the world stage at the 1988 Super Bowl in San Diego marked the beginning of a 15-year tenure (1987–2002) characterized by the precision, discipline, and resilience required of an elite performer. Beyond the Great Stage, Jennifer stands within a long, unbroken tradition of artists who transform performance into enduring legacy. From a Tony Award–winning Broadway production to the boardroom and public arena, she has carried the discipline, courage, and resilience of the stage into every space she enters. As an actor, entrepreneur, speaker, and brand partner, her work does more than tell stories—it reframes them, drawing on lived experience to illuminate leadership, representation, and endurance in ways that resonate long beyond the stage and offstage in everyday life. An accomplished author, Jennifer has chronicled her journey in her memoirs, On the Line and Becoming Spectacular, offering a powerful testament to what is possible when passion meets perseverance. Her story bridges the gap between the glamour of the spotlight and the reality of hard work, showing readers that dreams are built step by step, with courage and resilience. Today, she uses her influential platform as an inspiring advocate for health awareness, focusing on the life-saving importance of colorectal cancer prevention and early detection. Whether she is honoring her professional legacy through museum exhibits or empowering patients and their families to take charge of their health, Jennifer’s purpose is clear: to turn her experiences into a catalyst for change. Being “the first” was not the culmination of her journey, but the beginning of a larger mission—one that has allowed her to move from the iconic kickline to a trailblazing career dedicated to opening doors so that other Black dancers can proudly call themselves Radio City Rockettes. Beyond the stage, she is a steadfast colorectal cancer advocate, using her voice and her story to remind everyone that they can follow their innermost desires, overcome obstacles, and lead a life defined by purpose, possibility, and well-being.

Lisa Skinner Behavioral Specialist & Alzheimer's Expert Author Lisa Skinner is a behavioral specialist with expertise in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. In her 30+year career working with family members and caregivers, Lisa has taught them how to successfully navigate the many challenges that accompany this heartbreaking disease. Lisa is both a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Certified Dementia Care Trainer through the Alzheimer’s Association. Along with being a Certified Dementia Program Director, Lisa holds a degree in Human Behavior. Do you know that, We are in the midst of a global crisis that most of us are not even aware of? Maybe because… It’s not in our faces, in the news, or on the internet every single day, but it’s real and it’s out there, just like the proverbial “Elephant in the Room”. It’s larger than life. It’s staring at us all right in our faces, and it’s not going away anytime soon. And it can strike anyone of us at any time…We are talking about Alzheimer’s disease. The fact is that it has become a serious global crisis and is expected to worsen if a treatment or cure is not found. For 30 years, Lisa Skinner has been working to turn this quiet crisis into a rallying call for action. She is not a distant expert. She is a caregiver, a witness, and a translator between families and the systems that serve them. Her mission is to connect with audiences in a way that moves hearts and sparks real, practical action. - The problem is staggering and growing. By 2025, the number of people expected to develop dementia worldwide will triple from today. That means more families will be facing uncertainty, fear, and impossible decisions with limited guidance. - What motivates Lisa are the faces of families she has walked beside for three decades; a parent who forgets their adult child’s name; a caregiver burning out from exhaustive, endless shifts; a family planning for futures when the present feels overwhelming. - Lisa’s work is the convergence of compassion and clarity, translating complex medical realities into actionable steps for families, workplaces, and communities. She has learned what families need most trustworthy information, practical planning tools, and a champion who will stand with them when the system doesn’t.  2 Best selling booksInternational TEDx SpeakerInternational Conference SpeakerOver 400 Media InterviewsHost of a top 10% International Podcast and TV Show " Truth, Lies & Alzheimer's show" Website: https://www.dementiaawarenessspeaker.com

Dr. Lewis Meline I began my education in nutrition, exercise, and weight loss while serving in the United States Air Force nearly fifty years ago. Like many other military personnel (and civilians for that matter), I was very overweight and out-of-shape. It really bothered me to be like this, so I began to study everything that I could find to help me lose weight and get in better shape, eventually deciding to lift weights.​ Many different athlete and other diets were used over the years. They included very high protein intake and a variety of supplements. The supplements were very expensive (nothing has changed in that regard) and there were many times when I could not afford them. After several years of blindly following the various diet plans, and using recommended supplements, I began to notice that the expected results were not being obtained. There was no difference in my strength and muscle mass during the times that I could take the supplements and when I couldn’t. I also noticed that losing weight was no different whether I did or didn’t take various supplements advertised to make you lose weight.  What was the cause of this? Was it poor supplements? Was I taking the wrong supplements or using them inappropriately? Maybe my workouts were inadequate or I was doing the exercises incorrectly or even using the wrong exercises. This observation bothered me and I began to research the answer to these discrepancies.​ During this time, I was accepted to medical school. Now, finally I would be able to get the answers that I sought. However, I was sorely disappointed. Medical school did not teach the physiology I was looking for and it did not address the nutritional questions I wanted to answer. It also did not address weight loss, except for a brief mention of the consequences of being overweight. Therefore, I could not resolve the discrepancies I had noted and was left to research this information on my own. I continued to study from textbooks and any other information that I could find. I also spent a lot of time studying physical exercise and ways to improve my workouts.  There were several vitally important discoveries that I made concerning Diet, Supplements, Weight Loss, Exercise and especially Health. My desire to educate people about my findings led me to write a book, “Lies Exposed.” This book educates people as to what is proper nutrition, and how to apply that information to lose weight while maximizing their health. This information is vital for anyone who is serious about wanting to lose weight. This is especially true, since most people seeking weight loss are not aware of the need to maximize their health, and that supplements and medications are more detrimental than beneficial. The knowledge contained in my book was used as a basis for developing the coaching programs used by Straight Shooter Health, a platform for helping people lose weight and maximize their health.

Candace MacPhie Born in Montreal, Quebec, I spent years backpacking and working around the world. I have a Bachelor of Commerce degree, an MBA, and worked for twenty years on four different continents and now call Calgary, Alberta home. I got married, had kids, and things got busy. Time was moving by quickly and my kids were growing up fast. I shifted gears and quit my job to spend time at home. During the COVID lockdown, I had time on my hands, decided to try writing, and started writing the Back in a Year series. When I’m not at my computer yelling “Just a few more pages, then I’ll make dinner,” I love hiking in the Rocky Mountains, swimming, reading romance novels, and making up new cake recipes. I especially like to laugh and spend time with my husband, the self-proclaimed grumpy motherf*%ker, and my three awesome kids. Website: https://candacemacphie.com

After all, you know it’s not just about money…Leisa shares... After working on the relationship I had with myself for over 20 years and then bringing these discoveries back into my relationship with money, I came to realize how common it is for many of us to get confused about what it means to truly value ourselves. More common than not, we believe our value comes from external sources like money, relationships, and beauty. However, this isn’t really what causes true self-value. Instead it comes from inside and no amount of money, or success for that matter, is going to change it. Which is why you can have all the money in the world and still feel poor inside.  True freedom comes as a result of improving how you feel about yourself. Many people lose out on money, time and opportunity every day because they don’t understand how to shift the inner narrative that impacts their their peace of mind. My work is unique because it comes, from the essential knowledge in my core, from my intuition, and from my skills, which have been refined for more than two decades of practice, during which I’ve worked with thousands of clients from all over the world. I share my knowledge with those who value it and dedicate their time and energy to a greater purpose: that of knowing themselves.  My approach is not mystical, it is practical. I inspire people to overcome their limitations. I believe true self-realization should generate an impact on the material dimension because that is where change can be actualized and applied. For many people, it isn’t until you go through this process that you achieve financial independence and economic freedom. Websites: www.moneycatalyst.com https://www.wealthclinic.com

Mark DeBellis - My Story I’m going to start at the end and go back to the beginning. Today, I’m a happily married husband and father of two wonderful daughters and a grandfather to three. I’ve worked hard my entire life, and life has rewarded me with good health, a nice lifestyle, many friends and a loving family. But I often ask myself, “how did I get here?” I have been blessed, but never thought that I deserved or expected my life to turn out this way. And that is where this “Gifts of Adversity” notion comes full circle. It seems my life was full of adversity. At a very young age, I spent months at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles with a rare blood disorder. That created many implications in my early childhood. As the oldest of four I was often the one responsible for more than I should have been. As our family dynamics changed and our parents headed towards divorce, life was going to get even more challenging. My mother’s mental health deteriorated as did the marriage. After the divorce, mom was given custody. The four of us children experienced a nearly 2-year sojourn of homelessness, life disruption, multiple schools, food and financial insecurity. As children, we knew we were always loved dearly by our mother. There was never a doubt. We just lacked the stability and consistency that is important with young children. But we survived these hardships. Through these various challenges, all of us were strengthened. We faced adversity at many different levels on a frequent basis. How to eat. Where to sleep. Sometimes just getting to the next day. We didn’t seek out any of these circumstances, they seemed to find us. But as kids going through these challenges, life taught us resourcefulness and courage. We learned humility and gratitude. We just didn’t know it then. The road was rocky and often miserable, with little view of the horizon. Many of life’s most important lessons occur in the midst of crisis circumstances. As I reached adulthood, I was on a ship without a rudder. I moved in with a friend at 18 and worked in a manufacturing plant for minimum wage. It was probably $1.65/hour back then. I attended junior college at night. I was driving a beat up old staton wagon with holes in the floorboard, just like the Flintstones. When I was fired from my position, I had a chance to reexamine my life and situation. I was fired. What a gift that was! It was the smack in the head that allowed me to rethink where I was headed, and how to reset my trajectory. Adversity giving with both hands. Many of my friends had gone off to college but I didn’t have the grades nor the finances to go. My SAT scores were decent. Regardless, I decided to enroll and I was accepted! A state grant and some student loans got me started. I was scared heading off to college. I didn’t feel I was worthy or deserving. But I blossomed in college. My grades were very good. I discovered my leadership skills and became very involved with campus and professional organizations. I decided that I would pursue the field of Marketing. I came to love the subject and majored in it. Just three years from being fired from my job, I was graduating Cum Laude from Cal Poly Pomona and applying at graduate schools to pursue an MBA. Now, over 40 years later and many different companies, positions and experiences, I can look back and see where these life lessons at a young age helped me grow in preparation for future things. That doesn’t mean life was easy. Life is never easy. Nothing should be taken for granted. Throughout these many years, I’ve made good decisions and bad decisions. Made friends and made some enemies. That is part of life. However, I believe my ability to deal with these set-backs effectively today, came from these early experiences dealing with set-backs and challenges.
