    Sharon is Canadian-born but has spent over three decades traveling and living in various countries. She spent many years as an academic, teaching, speaking, and conducting research, which helped her develop skills in scientific writing and interpretation.

    Due to chronic workplace stress, she had to leave her academic career and became interested in functional medicine, where the focus is on identifying and addressing the root cause of the disorder. She became certified as a Health Coach and later as a Functional Medicine Health Coach, specializing in autoimmune disorders.

    Denise Thomas

    TEDx speaker, international best-selling author, and coach to parents of college-bound teens, Denise Thomas inspires, educates, and equips parents to take an active role in supporting their children to live a life of financial freedom. Her mission is to ‘flip’ the student debt statistic in the U.S.

    Denise is a 20-year homeschool veteran having homeschooled her two children from Pre-k through high school. Using her proprietary repeatable strategy, they attended their first-choice college on 17 scholarships exceeding $199,000, walking out of college with cash in hand. They got paid to go to college. Denise says, you can keep your money. Send your kids to college on other people's cash! “College doesn't have to be a DEBT sentence.”

    Episode 26 - Clarissa Constantine - Parent(w)een

    Clarissa Constantine

    Clarissa is an only child who had a tough relationship with her mom. During college at University of Hartford, she began what would turn into a decades-long career as a test prep coach. She's helped thousands of kids around the world navigate the college and grad school admissions processes. Along the way she's joked that she sometimes finds herself playing the role of therapist more than tutor, helping kids manage the stresses of life. But no matter how many young adults she helped, she longed for a closer, more intimate relationship with her own mother. Unfortunately, that didn't come to pass before her mom passed in November 2019. She's driven to help other families avoid the heartache, the lost years, and the regret she - and most likely her mom, too - experienced. This includes working directly with families to find the resources they need, as well as coaching business owners who work with teens, tweens, and families.

    Episode 25 - Pamela Klein - Discussing Homeopathy

    Pamela Klein

    Pam first heard of homeopathy over 30 years ago at a La Leche League play group that she and her two young sons were part of. She thought What Is This, and wanted to know more. She read books and took classes locally. About three years later, she enrolled in The School of Homeopathy in England, earning the Practitioner’s Diploma of Homeopathy – PDHom(UK). She continued her homeopathic education attending the California Center for Homeopathic Education, focusing on the Vital Sensation Method developed by Dr. Rajan Sankaran. She continues to learn and fine tune her homeopathic knowledge attending workshops, seminars, and webinars given by different homeopaths and schools all over the world.

    Pam is a classically trained homeopath practicing for over 25 years. She works with all ages, babies through older adults, who experience many different health issues. She especially enjoys working with children and families.
