Jeff Higgins grew up in the Cincinnati area.  On April 6, 1983 in the Milford High School cafeteria, he met Shelly and they built a wonderful life together.  They were married and had three wonderful daughters who grew up and started families of their own.  Today seven grandchildren bring Shelly and Jeff endless joy.  (There is something special about grandchildren.)

Jeff has spent his working life almost entirely in the industry of making seasonings for foods like potato chips, meats, and dips.  You have probably eaten something he has been a part of creating.  In 2002 Jeff boot strapped his own company and it has been a twenty-year overnight success story.  

Living a life filled with purpose seems to have always been a part of Jeff’s DNA since he was eleven.  Together with Shelly they enjoy making meaning a part of their endeavors.  They invested over twenty years supporting and running youth programs. They have served the hungry in their community, in the US, and internationally.  In 2016 Jeff summited Mount Rainier and, in the process, raised over $25,000.00 to build a school for special needs children in rural Guatemala.  Jeff and Shelly try to employ a motto they have: “If you are going to do something big, attach it to something bigger.”  That is why the purpose statement for their company is “Serve People”.

Today Jeff enjoys talking to audiences about his experiences in an effort to help people lead better, more fulfilling lives.

I am a sports performance coach that has been training individuals and athletes for 20 yrs. I was a 2-sport collegiate athlete in the non-traditional sports a male would be in. Such as powerlifting and cheer leading. I went onto play semiprofessional football, where we win a national championship. Most of my career has been in sales and management. I was a kid that grew up with a Hispanic mother and older father that was born during the depression. After my father became paralyzed, and my mother had to work a lot, I began getting into trouble and arrested in middle school. Some good male role models came into my life through those years, high school and college that helped guide me in a sense. We were very poor, but I feel it built me up as a man and person. We were very poor, I had to learn a lot of lessons on my own. I was homeless for a period of time while in college. I finally graduated after 8yrs of going to school on and off. I have 2 children and have been with my wife for 9yrs. She’s a first generation American, with both parents being from Portugal. I have also worked with and taught troubled youth which resonated with me because of my background growing up. This life has led me to what I’m working on now and that is to be a motivator. Speak my story. Talk to youth and athletes. And also talk to those in a corporate realm of strategic ways to shift the mind to meet expectations. Both theirs and their companies.

Hi, I'm Teresa, a writer, published author, and Self-Publishing coach. I had an 18-month time period where I experienced so much trauma so fast it overflowed my cup, bringing up things that had been repressed over my life. This greatly impacted me and ended up being a huge life transition. While I was healing mentally, emotionally, and physically, I began writing. Which led my career in a completely different direction and one I never could have previously imagined.

 

Working through the trauma, both past and present, led me to all kinds of modalities. After receiving several concussions, anxiety, and panic attacks, mental wellness became a passion for me and is the reason I self-published a mental wellness workbook with journal that takes a holistic approach to daily life. Sharing with others what has helped me but also letting them know there is a way through it all.

 

The changes trauma brings into your life can be better than what you ever could have imagined. I should know, I never expected to write, publish books, teach others how to publish their own books, and help spark the creativity in people with my writing membership. Because I had spent my entire life believing I wasn’t creative.

I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I was a victim of CSA at the hands of 2 cousins when I was around age 10.  I had experienced other childhood hardships before this experience that led me to have low self-esteem.  My father was not in my life and I had a serious father wound.  I was also born with a birth defect that manifested as a lazy right eye.  This defect led to me being bullied and picked on as a child.  When the SA happened, it solidified my low self-esteem.  I did not tell anyone about the abuse or the bullying that I had endured. My way of coping with these things was to internalize them and act like they had never happened.  I did this for many years, well into my adulthood.  I got to a point where I could no longer hold things inside and that is when I told my ex-spouse about the abuse and got into counseling to do my inner work.  Since then, I have become a certified Christian Life Coach to help other women survivors find their strength and reclaim their power to live the life they were created to live.
