Anita Miranda
This was an interview that left me wondering how much can one young person take? She was left to be raised by someone else, put in foster care, abused and disabled by PTSD. Yet she learned hard life lessons and her spirit won out. Anita has redefined herself and is an inspiration for others. She now refers to herself as “differently abled.”
I invite you to watch my chat with Anita to learn how she turned her life around.

What do you suppose they are? I invite you to find out …
Tamara Parisio
As I talked with Tamara about her story, she revealed a remarkable approach to dealing with being an introvert, wishing situations in her life had gone differently and overcoming her trepidations about her divorce and becoming a single parent. How did she do that?
Her methods are simple. Tamara’s results allowed her to step into the role of leading lady in her own life.
Donna Sparaco
My conversation with Donna opened my eyes and my heart to a new perspective on moving through grief. Her deliberate choices which moved her through the loss of her husband, are uplifting. As she experienced despair, overwhelm and overload, and realized her need to change, Donna began to look for where her husband still was, rather than where he wasn’t. Hers is a unique approach to loss and grief I think you’ll want to hear.
Veronica Clark
Veronica shares a heart-wrenching story of sexual abuse from a very young age. She felt broken and damaged She numbed herself, and buried her past so she could create a perfect present—until her past came home to roost and became her undoing. This is a story of hitting bottom, muddling through those buried emotions before she could rise above and turn coal into gold.
Karen Winkelman
This is a different kind of story about loss. The loss of identity, due to an unexpected corporate downsizing. The loss of confidence. The loss of a sense of personal value. Can you relate to any of this?
Karen shares a vulnerable story of taking the layoff personally, feeling like it crushed her soul, and tells about how deferring the emotions came back to bite her in a big way. I invite you to watch …
