Awaken Hope

Tara Schneider – Creator of the “Inside-Out HEAL” Method 

Tara Schneider, chronic pain breakthrough specialist and the creator of the “Inside- Out HEAL” Method, a revolutionary approach that helps people finally resolve pain by addressing the hidden root causes most doctors overlook. 

For over a decade, Tara has guided individuals who felt stuck in endless cycles of pills, procedures, and flare-ups to discover what’s really fueling their pain. Her unique methodology blends science with the art of healing, showing how stress, beliefs, and especially unresolved trauma can silently keep pain alive in the body. By cracking the code on chronic pain, Tara empowers her clients to move beyond coping and into true healing. 

Tara’s passion comes from seeing lives transformed—people who once believed they’d “just have to live with it” finally find relief, freedom, and hope. Through her work, she’s proven that healing isn’t just possible—it’s predictable when you know where to look. 

When she’s not working with clients, Tara shares her message on podcasts, stages, and workshops, inspiring audiences to reimagine what’s possible for their health. She’s also the creator of the popular resource, “Discover the Hidden Root of Your Chronic Pain with This Downloadable Scorecard,” which helps people pinpoint the overlooked factors that keep them stuck in pain. 

Bringing a fresh perspective on one of the most misunderstood health challenges, Tara brings practical hope to anyone ready to break free from pain—once and for all.

Darlene Lekowski is an author, speaker, advocate, but most importantly, a survivor.

Forced to hide the secret of her childhood trauma for more than fifty years, Darlene is now speaking out. Her message is one of resiliency and healing, and her intention is to use her voice to help others find theirs.

As a child, Darlene was sexually assaulted by her two eldest brothers.

The youngest of five children, Darlene grew up in a Midwestern town amongst the country club crowd where appearances mattered, especially to her mother. Convinced that her parents would cover it up, and terrified by her brothers’ threats, young Darlene told no one about the assaults, burying the secret in a box inside her mind, determined to keep her family and the good parts of her life intact.

But boxes leak.

Despite an extremely successful career, the weight and shame of this secret impacted every relationship in her life. After finally confiding in a close friend during college, Darlene began to seek help to deal with the ramifications of the trauma she had been through. She firmly believes this investment in her psychological healing helped save her life. 

In 2021, after the death of her mother, the secret exploded.

One of the brothers involved sued Darlene for defamation. Having her personal life and the details of her abuse so publicly put on display was devastating, but Darlene, knowing her truth, counter-sued. And won! 

Her story is featured in an upcoming memoir, scheduled for release in April 2026. 

The secret is now hers to own, and own it she has, channeling her energy into volunteering with organizations that provide education, support, and advocacy for victims of sibling sexual assault. 

It is with this work that she is reaching back to protect the little girl that no one came to save.

It is time to show her that heroes do exist.

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.

Meet Sarah Trop

Sarah started FunCycled in 2012 to share tips for redoing furniture and then sell the furniture. Since its start in 2012, FunCycled has grown from selling repurposed furniture to designing custom furniture orders like dining room tables, launching into interior design services, and kitchen cabinet repurposing. 

We’re John and Sarah, and this is our story. Family is everything, and making time for both our business and each other always stands at the center of what we do. We love traveling, seeing beautiful places and exploring new adventures that inspire our work!

We’ve also been able to have once in a lifetime adventures like being on the Rachel Ray Show, winning on HGTV’s Flea Market Flip show, and winning BYU tv’s show Survivalist!!

We have two teens who help in the business and are the reason we started FunCycled. We wanted to have more time at home with them while they were little. They are our biggest blessings in life. Such a joy!

John has extensive woodworking skills from working in contracting and carpentry for 10 years; he knows how to create all the requests Sarah sends his way. As a family, we’re upcycling and rejuvenating homes, kitchens, and furniture on its way to the curb into something beautiful. We service much of New York state and are able to ship to other parts of the US.

We also bought a house in 2019 and have been repurposing it room by room! We call it our Repurposed Idea House and you can see some of the project we’ve been working on here.
