    Chelsie Ward- Meditation & Relaxation

    From Chelsie Ward.....We are misinformed. We don’t have to expect illness as we age. It’s simply a choice when we know what to do. The problem is, how do we learn these techniques if they aren’t being taught?I never intended to share this story. I did it because I saw so many others who desperately longed for the answers I had. As I looked around, I saw the energy depleted faces that I once knew so well. I knew I had to share this information with others. It was my gift back to a world of hurting people. It wasn’t fair to keep this knowledge to myself. I wrote my story in a book called Healed His Way and filled it with as many resources as possible. To my surprise, it hit the Amazon Bestseller List! My next steps became clear – I had to create a program to help others get their life back. It is my mission to make sure you gain an understanding of how to heal naturally, no matter how hopeless the situation may feel right now.Healed His WayBY CHELSIE WARDGod created your body with an amazing capacity to heal itself when you give it what it needs. Most Western medicine is focused on alleviating symptoms without addressing the root cause. Chelsie’s approach to health and healing takes into account spirit, soul, and body. By cooperating with our body’s systems, providing proper nutrition and supplements, along with exercise and common sense, we can experience optimal health and wellness.Order Chelsie's Book Here:https://cy677.infusionsoft.app/app/orderForms/5e66c878-dae6-4a7e-8641-c51fa76de94fYour hosts: Colton Cockerell & Trisha StetzelClick for more about your hosts:Colton CockerellTrisha StetzelMore fun and interviews on our FB page!https://www.facebook.com/bridgethegapinterviews

    Danielle Hendon- Misconceptions of Small Business & CFO Vacancies

    Hi! I’m Danielle Hendon – wife, mom, and Virtual CFO to small business owners.I empower business owners to pay themselves what they’re worth and continue to put more profit in their pocket every year. I do this by helping business owners understand what their financial numbers are and WHY the numbers move. Armed with that understanding, you can take intentional steps to grow your profits.I bring over a decade of experience in corporate finance and accounting to small businesses on a scale that fits their budget and their needs. My education and certification (as a CPA) gave me the technical knowledge. Using those skills on the job, taught me that accounting and finance is about so much more than numbers. It’s about the people. I LOVE numbers…but I have a genuine passion for people.When my previous employer closed their doors and severed all the employees, I knew it was time to take my knowledge and passion to the people that needed it most. I started 4 Corners CFO to help business owners take a step back from the burnout, pay themselves what they’re worth, and focus on their joy and reason for serving their clients. I get the chance to change the world by helping business owners like you have the biggest impact they can in their community.Connect with Danielle:https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-hendon/Get Your Free Path to Consistently Paying Yourself Here https://keap.app/contact-us/7993277615067632Your hosts: Colton Cockerell & Trisha StetzelClick for more about your hosts:Colton CockerellTrisha StetzelMore fun and interviews on our FB page!https://www.facebook.com/bridgethegapinterviews

    Chelsie Ward- Importance of Sleep

    I’ll never forget when I was about ten years old and my grandmother looked at me one day and said, “child, you get everything that comes down this family line.” What was she talking about?Blood sugar issues, inability to pay attention, gas, bloating, constipation, and nausea after meals. My doctors labeled these symptoms as IBS, hypoglycemia, and ADD. The older I got, the more diagnoses I received. In college, it was anxiety, depression, hypothyroidism, and then came the dreaded perimenopause at age 27. My migraines would sometimes last a month with no relief. Chronic fatigue would land me on the couch daily for a nap. I suffered from sugar addiction, hair loss, stuttered speech, foggy thinking, poor memory and concentration, chronic pain, acne, and metabolism issues. This list kept growing year after year with no end in sight. My cry for help was LOUD! I tried everything I knew. I met with doctors and specialists and even hired functional medicine doctors to help. I filled my sack full of prescriptions each month, but I wasn’t getting well. As a nurse, I realized that I was just like my patients – being told that medication and surgery was the way out. I was told I would have to live with it. That’s not an answer I was willing to accept. One day it clicked. I thought, “what if there’s a better way?” I began to study how food is medicine and how our bodies were created to heal themselves. I realized that when we give the body what it needs, it will give us what we want in return. I needed a strategic plan to help me heal, using what God provided. We don’t heal many times, because we don’t address the root of our health issues. We look at a physical symptom as that – a symptom. We don’t take into account that the cause may be something mental, emotional, or even spiritual. There is such a disconnect. I tried to partner with others in the natural health space and learned quickly that I needed a different approach than what these doctors had to offer. It was challenging to find someone who would look at me as a whole person, from a mind-body-spirit approach. I don’t think I even realized that’s what I needed at the time. So I went on a mission to study everything I could to address these health challenges myself. I was already a nurse with a degree in psychology. So I went on to study health from a natural perspective and was certified in functional medicine and functional diagnostic nutrition. I also studied the spiritual and emotional components through energy medicine and was ordained as a healing minister, using the power of prayer. This all-encompassing approach was life-changing for me personally. I felt so much joy and energy some days that I could hardly contain myself. I had never had that in my 30 years prior.I remember thinking, “this is how we all should feel all the time.” How could this simple approach to health be hiding from so many people? We are misinformed. We don’t have to expect illness as we age. It’s simply a choice when we know what to do. The problem is, how do we learn these techniques if they aren’t being taught?I never intended to share this story. I did it because I saw so many others who desperately longed for the answers I had. As I looked around, I saw the energy depleted faces that I once knew so well. I knew I had to share this information with others. It was my gift back to a world of hurting people. It wasn’t fair to keep this knowledge to myself. I wrote my story in a book called Healed His Way and filled it with as many resources as possible. To my surprise, it hit the Amazon Bestseller List! My next steps became clear – I had to create a program to help others get their life back.

    Ginger Martin- Customer Service

    Beginning with her first job in high school, Ginger has had a strong work ethic. She possessed a competitive striving for excellence in working fast food that has extended into other jobs throughout her life and created a strength to go above and beyond.The instant Ginger saw the cobblestone wall, it hit home! It reminded her of the determination she’s had to have since the birth of OSA in 2003. There were many visions and goals that have driven her from the beginning even though she knew it wasn’t going to be easy to reach them all. Even knowing how difficult it would be, Ginger admits she truly had no idea of just how much strength she would need to endure all that was coming her way. During the first two years after forming the business, she worked a full-time “day” job and would come home every night to work in her basement office. Her husband was a huge help in taking care of their children and their house while she pressed on toward her aspirations. She had an ardent desire to provide what every customer was ultimately looking for in their purchase – strong customer service. She also knew, from her years in the industry, that customer service was severely lacking. After a few years, One Stop Apparel began to flourish as referrals about her exceptional customer care began to pour in. This allowed her to take the leap into her business full-time. Her mission was to offer the perks of a large company without losing the attention to detail afforded to her clients that is so often missing in many businesses she had observed. No matter the challenges Ginger faced, her focus remained on the passion she had for her clients. This remains firmly true 15 years later.Check out One Stop Apparel Herehttp://www.onestopapparel.net/Your hosts: Colton Cockerell & Trisha StetzelClick for more about your hosts:Colton CockerellTrisha StetzelMore fun and interviews on our FB page!https://www.facebook.com/bridgethegapinterviews
