“I’ve experienced several different healing methodologies over the years – counseling, self-help seminars, and I’ve read a lot – but none of them will work unless you really want to heal yourself and take action.” Lindsay Wagner
Do you have an unrealistic image of yourself? Have you been told that you will never amount to anything or that you are not worthy? Unworthiness is one of the most debilitating belief systems in effect in the world today. It corrupts, destroys, discourages, and inhibits your goals and lives from unfolding as you desire. You’ve become so disconnected from your feelings, so disillusioned, separated and alone, that you are afraid to take risks, speak up for yourself, or even take steps to follow your dreams because you don’t think you are worthy.

On Monday, Jan. 16, 2012, I had the opportunity to interview Sarah Jo Wood, Founder of Evolving Advisors, Inc. She shared helpful insights and tips explaining what attributed to her unbelievable success! She has been awarded internationally and cited on TV for her achievements. I am thankful for her time and all the Value she shared during this interview.
Question #1: Tell me a little bit about your background and what led you to where you are now
Sarah’s response: I’m a transplanted American living in Toronto, Canada for the last 30 years. After graduating from a University, I tried the Corporate route for about 3 Fortune 500 companies, and I could see the glass ceiling all too well – not to mention feeling claustrophobic. So, I went out on my own. My 1st venture had me digging in dirt as a plant wholesaler. My grandmother had taught me all about plants. She was a rare individual in that she studied the hybridization of rare orchids and she trekked through Africa and China studying plants, so I learned all about plants that way. Read more....

Have you always wanted to do what you love and get paid for it, but you’re just not sure how to discover your strengths and skills? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with this same issue. I remember trying out for chorus as a little boy. There were 3 other students from my class trying out as well. I already knew I couldn’t carry a note from me to you & I just wanted to get out of class. Well of course, I was not chosen to be a part of chorus group. I knew singing was not a skill or strength of mine; however, I still needed to figure out my true strengths. Read more....

Did you grow up hearing “go to school, get a good job, work hard and live off your retirement”? Are you currently one of the millions of unemployed workers in the US? Have you sent out hundreds of resumes in hopes that an employer will hire you? When you think about following the old idea of go to school, get a good job and live off your retirement, it doesn’t carry the same weight that it used to. In fact, it never carried much weight because that way of thinking has always been a poor man’s way of thinking. Read more....

There are many benefits attributed to working with a life coach while battling cancer. Studies have shown that patients see improvements emotionally, mentally and even physically. A life coach works to help you set and reach specific goals through the integration of discipline, inspiration, motivation, education, physical activity, healthy eating, spirituality and encouragement.
One such study was published in the International Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences by Dr. Mary Lou Galantino of Stockton College. Dr. Galantino’s study revealed improvements in cancer patients within their day-to-day lives including learning how to overcome anxiety and depression. Physical improvements were seen as a result of an increase in healthy food choices and physical activity through the use of various motivational techniques. Read more....
