Bright Side with Tekneshia

Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. You may have seen his (or his company's)  previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics, or any of the other major media outlets you see on this page.  You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.

Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants.  Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

Ani Anderson, MS, OT, LMT, CEMP, SBMC is the creator of the Find Your Soul’s Agenda process and co-creator of Sensation-Based Mindset coaching. 

In the year 2000, after graduating with her masters degree in Occupational Therapy, Ani quickly found that the constraints of the western medical system did not offer her the creativity or freedom to be able to deliver complete and meaningful treatments to her clients. So she left to pursue private practice, helping people heal using energy medicine practices.

In 2012, Ani’s personal life crumbled. She became the person who needed healing, and none of her therapist friend’s could help her. This was when Ani found life coaching.

Feeling lost, she took 3 different courses to help her find her purpose. And although the results were similar, none of them seemed remotely attainable. Using her background in Chinese Medicine and Energy Healing, she came up with her own purpose system, Find Your Soul’s Agenda.

After Ani used the Find Your Soul’s Agenda process to heal her own life, she began teaching others and the results were profound. Now it’s a process that she uses with every one of her coaching clients because it distinctly identifies not only a person’s purpose, but also their most habituated self-sabotaging pattern. Using the Soul’s Agenda process makes helping her client’s achieve their goals almost effortless.

Find Your Soul’s Agenda is a proprietary assessment that Ani and her husband Brian have developed, use with their client’s, and teach in their Sensation-Based Mindset Coaching certification program. Developed from over 45 years of combined experience in holistic medicine, Sensation-Based Mindset coaching applies the cutting-edge science of emotional construction and physical pain to leverage the wisdom of the entire body in the transformational process.

With a successful career in Melinda’s family business, it would have been easy to continue and gently ride into the sunset. But a combination of major life events – reviewing the future for the business, the direction of a key relationship, and a family member’s health issues - derailed those plans, leading to a reassessment of Melinda’s life as she had known it, had planned it.

Suddenly, there were new questions before Melinda. Lots of questions.

On her journey toward answers, Melinda was able to work with many thought leaders, coaches, as well as draw upon her experiences in non-profit volunteer work. Patterns and traits began to emerge, for herself, with others. As Melinda started to question herself, she found that the questions often brought great comfort and understanding. It is Melinda’s observations that became Finding Your Coach, Diving Deep Within.

Acknowledging that often we don’t know how we have become stuck, or can’t see the way to the next place, can be the starting place of wisdom. Looking at common ways most people continue to not hear what is going on in the room, helped her to find her path, and so we can begin to engage again. In the hope that we can all find what we are looking for, Melinda also discusses the various ways to view success, beyond the limited way of financial success. More, the question for many of us is do we want success? Happiness? Both? Do we know? Have we thought about it?

In embracing the Power of the Question, Melinda found a strength to see herself, and the world, that left her feeling supported and empowered. After a life seeking answers to put the matter to rest, it turns out the questions have become Melinda’s best companions. And you? Your questions?

What happens when we engage in contemplation and integrate key mindfulness principles into

our daily lives? We feel lighter, sleep better, enjoy more success at work and in relationships and

improve the quality of our lives.

There is a new app on the scene and it’s in a class of its own. Introducing the Vibe app. In the current sea of mindfulness apps, meditation has become synonymous with mindfulness, but meditation alone, is not a reasonable path to a more mindful life. One must also take the critical step of learning and integrating the fundamental principles of living a mindful and fulfilled life.

The Vibe app fills this gap by connecting users with leading authors and thought leaders in mindfulness. App users choose their preferred “thought leader” who will provide them daily guidance in core fundamentals of mindfulness and spirituality, offering a framework upon which they can build our own inner truths. Other mindfulness apps offer support for meditation, while the Vibe app provides the building blocks to help us actually realize, connect with and deepenour spiritual, mindful selves.

Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he was exposed to

world-changing science. After researching extensively, he wrote An End to Upside Down Thinking to introduce the general public to these cutting-edge ideas – all in an effort to encourage a much-needed global shift in scientific and existential thinking.

Mark, a partner in a Silicon Valley investment bank and strategy firm, has long sought answers to life’s challenging questions. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, he was drawn to astrophysics because he wanted to understand the universe. But because due to commitments as a member of Princeton’s Division I Tennis Team, he decided that astrophysics would be too demanding. So instead of studying the invisible forces that govern the universe, he studied the invisible forces that secretly drive human behavior, getting a degree in psychology, focusing on behavioral economics.

In the summer of 2016, he randomly stumbled across a series of podcasts that exposed him to some radical new ideas. Those ideas put into question the most basic assumptions about who and what we are as human beings. An End to Upside Down Thinking will change how you look at everything!

Sindy Warren is a certified yoga and meditation teacher (E-RYT 200 and 500 hour) and a lifelong student of the practice. She began learning yoga in 2003, at a time in her life when she was dealing with some challenging transitions. While she was first drawn to the physical practice, it was the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the tradition that kept her coming back, again and again. Her yoga practice helped her develop the skills to navigate life challenges with more grace and acceptance.

Sindy grew up outside of Hartford, Connecticut and went to Tufts University for her undergraduate degree and Stanford Law School for her law degree. She has always been passionate about learning and growing, whether in a classroom, a courtroom, a yoga studio, or within the parameters of her own heart and soul. The practice of yoga provides Sindy with a platform from which to do just that – learn and grow. As a teacher of the practice, she seeks to share her passion and knowledge with her students.

In Radi8, Using the Practice to Cultivate Your Inner Shine, Sindy brings to life yoga philosophy in an accessible and relevant way. An understanding of the ancient 8-limbed path of yoga is a necessary part of this spiritual practice. Sindy helps the reader embark on the path or deepen his or her practice, in a way that is compassionate and loving. For yogis of all experience and even just the yoga-curious, this is a must read.

Sindy lives in Shaker Heights, Ohio with her husband Dan, her daughter Olivia, and her dog Woodrow. When she’s not teaching or practicing yoga and meditation, she can be found hanging with her family, laughing with friends, running in the park near her house, reading a good book, or cooking up something healthy and delicious.
