A health and nutrition coach, Heather Deba helps women restore their max metabolism and regain their confidence by rediscovering a healthier and more authentic version of themselves, just like she did.   Born and raised in China, Heather came to the United States on her own when she was just 16 years old.   Leaving her parents and everything she knew behind, Heather arrived in a whole new country, discovering a whole new lifestyle that she had never experienced before, including American cuisine.   Not putting much thought into the pizza, ice cream and other foods she was eating, Heather would soon discover that within eight months of arriving in the US, she was 45 pounds heavier, all because of the food she was eating.   Having youth and a vibrant body on her side, she was able to quickly lose weight.   However, before she knew it, years had gone by and Heather was in her mid 30’s, eating very little to maintain and still overweight and unhappy.   Feeling miserable, Heather would soon realize that she was not only depriving herself of food but also the moments that really mattered in life.   And that is when she said NO MORE!

Approaching Life with the Right Mindset with Jacob Stahler

A wealth of knowledge to anyone who knows him; through the years, you can say that Jacob Stahler has been a valuable asset in helping others figure things out to succeed in life.   A child of divorce at the age of 3, Jacob discovered at a young age that he would have to figure things out on his own if he wanted to learn about life.   Growing up, Jacob always knew that he was kind of a loner but grew to discover that he not only didn’t know much about himself but that of others as well.   Struggling to develop any kind of valuable relationship with others, Jacob knew that in order to succeed at anything in life, he must first discover who he was.   And that is just what he did.   Jacob would learn to succeed in business; one must succeed at life first by focusing on organizing, scaling, and investing in what matters most… YOURSELF!   Instead of chasing after status and popularity, Jacob began chasing after his dreams and staying focused on the road instead of what was behind him.   Now, the owner and president of Bodyshop Wellness is helping others do the same.   Listen in as Jacob and I sit down to discuss how having to figure things out on his own at a young age turned into a journey of self-discovery and love, his mission to help others do the same, and how it has all led him to creating his own path to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!

From Wounded to Warrior with Tiffany Owen

As a certified health and wellness coach, Tiffany Owen is passionate about helping clients participate in their own rescue by radically transforming themselves into the person that God intended them to be, just like she has done.   Raised in a home with two very busy entrepreneur parents, you can say that Tiffany raised herself.   She is not a bad parent; she is just extremely busy. Tiffany was about 8-9 when her parents divorced, and her mom married someone else.   Leaving behind her family and community in Texas to move with her Mom to Kentucky, Tiffany often felt alone but tried to adjust the best that she could.   Then, one night, as she awoke from a deep sleep late at night, Tiffany discovered she was all alone.    With her parents no wear in sight and not home, Tiffany felt devastated and totally abandoned.   Meaning no harm, thinking that she would stay asleep while they went out, Tiffany was forever changed and left with severe abandonment issues and seeking self-worth in external circumstances.   Afraid that someone was always going to leave her, Tiffany often times comforted the pain she felt that night with alcohol, drugs, sex, and bad relationships.   By the time she was 29, Tiffany had already been married four times and had two children from two different dads.   Coating her pain with alcohol and drugs, Tiffany so desperately wanted the people that she loved to stop being mean and hurting her.   More afraid of living than dying and left with no fight in her, Tiffany finally hit rock bottom one day when she was given an ultimatum from her husband.   Knowing that she didn’t want to lose anymore, Tiffany found a little fight left in her to finally seek treatment and heal all that was sabotaging her life.   She shares her journey in her first book, “Wounded to Warrior: How to Participate in Your Own Rescue,” where she doesn’t hold back in telling her story and sharing the tools that helped her overcome PTSD, Addiction, Mental Health Struggles, and living in a victim mindset!   Now the keynote speaker and founder of TO Fitness, Tiffany is on a mission to empower others to be radically transformed into the person they were created to be by becoming the dominant force in their own life.   Listen in as Tiffany and I discuss how she transformed her life from victim to warrior, how she is helping others do the same, and what has helped her discover her own path to Fearless Happyness!
