Becoming Parents Podcast

In session #1 together, we dig deep into money, career, blocks I have. Thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, resetting life and integrating the past. I regress to my 6-year-old self and where the baggage started. I can't remember crying as hard as I did in this episode and how much I learned.   Dr. Foojan Zeine is a Psychotherapist, Life Coach, International Speaker, Author, and Radio/Television/Podcast Host.

At this time, I'm an "Indie" author only, no connection with any other publishers. However, I didn't start that way.   I initially struggled to land a big publisher, making it up through the levels at a Big 5 publisher back in 2010, but at the final acquisition meeting, the marketing department thought there wouldn't be a big enough audience for my award-winning novel (Nearly Departed in Deadwood). So, I was rejected. Another publisher liked my writing style but didn't want my book--they wanted me to write stories per their templates, but I knew I wouldn't be happy doing that, so I turned it down.   

At first, I thought that this was going to be a horrible ending for this particular book, but it was actually a beautiful beginning to my best-selling series. My agent at the time and I decided to go forth with the book and create a small press. We published my books and several other authors for a few years while I continued to work a "day job" as a technical writer, putting in 80+ hour weeks at the two jobs combined while being a wife and mother of two young kids (my husband has been a major player in helping to make this publishing career possible, playing full-time father while I was juggling my two careers).   

In the middle of 2013, I was finally able to quit my day job financially and write full time, but I soon realized I didn't have time to be a mom, write books, publish my own and other books via the publishing company I co-owned, and maintain my sanity. In 2015, I broke off from the publishing company, took back all of my books, and went forth on my own, publishing as "Ann Charles" and that was it--no publisher umbrella. I haven't looked back since. As of May 2020 and the release of the 11th book in my Deadwood Mystery series, I'll have published 28 books (2 of these are co-written with my husband) since January 2011. I have 5 different series running at the moment. They are a mix of mystery, humor, adventure, paranormal, romance, and whatever else feels right.   

I have found some amazing readers who not only support me by buying my books but help me tell others about each release and my backlist. A bonus is that every June I go to Deadwood, South Dakota (where the Deadwood Mystery Series is set) and we have the Ann Charles Fan Party Weekend with several book signings, other fun group events, and a big fan party with special guests toward the end of the weekend. It's been a wild ride so far and I'm looking forward to seeing where I go from here in this business.

Hi, my name is Danny Heinsohn and my biggest setback became my greatest opportunity.  

Upon college graduation with a bachelor of science in electrical engineering, I was diagnosed with brain cancer. After 15 months of craniotomies, seizure complications, and chemotherapy, I spiraled into depression and lost my sense of identity. I had to relearn how to walk, talk, and tie my shoes.  

By the time I got back into "real life," I was broke with a mound of student debt, socially marooned and the economy entered a 2.5-year recession.   I grew up playing sports and consuming sports on traditional media but the parallels between cancer and chemotherapy with endurance sports became my new calling card and I completed my first Ironman.  

My B2B sales program yields 10x growth in 3 to 6 months, while my sponsorship sales workshop helps create explosive revenue and impact for events and non-profits.  

My Hometown Heroes was created to celebrate the community who supported me with compassion along my journey through brain cancer. Since 2011, My Hometown Heroes has awarded 115 scholarships to college-bound cancer survivors from across the country between 15 and 39 years old.   Over the past 2 years (2018 and 2019) My Hometown Heroes has experienced our highest growth resulting in $60,000 in scholarships awarded. Our mission is to help bridge the gap between cancer and college, one scholarship at a time.

I'm so grateful to know Amy in person. She is an amazing human being and I love to send people her way!  

IN HER WORDS: 

AS a child I had lots of pain and sickness and trauma. From birth trauma to being molested at 2 years old to lots of throat illness which by the way was all connected! I also had an accident at 10 which ended with a skull fracture. I had severe headaches from then on. In my twenties, I had my first Crainio Session and I could not understand why I would get this huge headache when she would place her hands on my head very lightly. 

I had to know more. I took my first class in 1995 and the rest is history. I knew this was what I was to do to help people heal their pain that was stuck in their bodies!   Fast forward to 2004. two little ones, husband, and living in Hawaii. I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. Life changed in an instant. Through all the issues in my tissues that were the result of illness, birth, early childhood trauma, I developed a great deal of hypervigilance.  It has been my friend throughout my 50 years of living!   

I also love CBD and how it helps my body heal and regain homeostasis. I love the support it gives me.
