What does it mean to be a couple that colors outside the lines? Relationship coach, research psychologist, and sex educator Dr. Joli Hamilton is here to answer that question. From an early age we’re all taught that we need to get married, have kids, and settle down. So, is there something wrong with you if that path isn’t fulfilling? Absolutely not! For many people, being in a consensual non-monogamous relationship is what’s right for them. 

A recent study found that 40% of the millennial generation is open to non-monogamous relationships. There’s so much out there to be explored, and we’re not just talking about sex. If we can communicate our needs and wants effectively, we can absolutely have it all. So many of us lose ourselves by doing what we think we’re supposed to do. Life is meant to be explored and experienced. Let Dr. Joli Hamilton educate you on getting in touch with your true self. If you’re curious if you could open up your relationship happily, take the quiz at joliquiz.com.

What You’ll Learn:

• Where jealousy comes from and how it works.
• How to get more in touch with who you are.
• How to tell when you’re out of alignment with yourself.
• And much more!

As a nation, we’re getting sicker and fatter. So much of what we suffer from is due to our diet. As a functional nutritionist and autoimmune coach, Risa Groux is on a mission to educate people on how to take control of their health. She focuses on 4 pillars: prevention, root causes, the body as an interconnected unit, and data.

With 1/3 of children being diagnosed as type 2 diabetics, and 50 million Americans being diagnosed with autoimmune disease, something has to change. Western medicine’s answer is throwing pills at the problem. Risa’s answer is comprehensive blood panels and stool tests to identify the root cause, then a personalized diet rich in real food to heal our gut and reduce inflammation. Her book, Food frame: Diet is a Four-Letter Word, is full of resources to help anyone get on the right track.

What You’ll Learn:

• Where we come into contact with toxins.
• What the driver of all disease is.
• How gut health affects our health.
• How food standards differ in other countries.

Divorce is a subject, unfortunately, a lot of people can relate to. Karen McMahon is a certified relationship and divorce coach with a life changing 12-step program. As a child of divorce herself, at 14 years old, Karen decided she would never get divorced. She didn’t get married until she was 34, and with a lot of years under her belt, she thought she knew what she wanted. Instead, she learned a painful lesson, that what we don’t heal will keep showing up in our relationships. As she went through her own high conflict divorce, Karen sought therapy and attended a 12-step support group. She learned to focus on the one thing she could control, herself. 

Through it all, Karen feels she emerged a much better version of herself. She realized that, while divorce is a horrible transition, it’s a great opportunity to reinvent yourself. Eager to help others take advantage of this opportunity for growth, Karen started the Journey Beyond Divorce 12-step program. She guides men and women both through steps that include curbing the conflict, healing the hurt, and ultimately acceptance. If you're interested in what Karen and her team can do for you, or just need a different perspective, take advantage of the free 1-hour coaching session at www.rapidreliefcall.com. 

What You’ll Learn:

• What it means to be triggered.
• How you can begin to regulate your emotions.
• Why we need to feel our feelings.
• How coaching is different from therapy.

Weight loss is something so many women struggle with. There are so many programs out there that promise, if you just do this or don’t do that, you’ll lose weight. While it may work initially, many will see the weight come back. Founder of Self-Made U, Tracy Pleschourt, says that anyone can check boxes, but unless you solve the root cause, it’ll never stick. Tracy speaks from experience, as she went through her own weight loss journey, where she discovered the mental component that leads to lasting results.

Formerly an advertising executive, Tracy stepped away to spend more time with her family, and started a life coaching business on the side. While expanding her repertoire, she discovered that the same mindset changes needed to build wealth also could help to gain wellness. Through her teachings of self-coaching, Tracy says her clients learn the critical skills needed to manage their thoughts. Once you learn how to control your thoughts, or better yet, not let them control you, you can achieve really anything you put your mind to.

What You’ll Learn:

What Mind Math is and how it relates to weight loss.

What the 4 basics to losing weight are.

How to take control of your thoughts.

How fasting contributes to a longer life.

From just 8 years old, Dr. Ingrid Murra knew she wanted to be an orthodontist. Self conscious about her smile, Dr. Murra would go through 4 years of braces. At the end of it all, her new smile changed her life. She made more friends, did better in school, she simply was able to let her soul shine through. After completing school for dentistry and orthodontics, mail-order aligners launched and Dr. Murra was scared she had spent all this time becoming an orthodontist only to be replaced. 

With orthodontists being the most in depth specialists, she knew this was all false advertising, but still wasn’t sure how she could compete with the promised time and money saving fad. While doing her residency, she also went back to Harvard Business School. After graduating, she would spend the next two years practicing orthodontics while also networking and raising money for her own business venture. With a lot of new orthodontists unable to afford a brick and mortar business, she knew the answer lay in uniting dentists and orthodontists. Her goal was to empower small business owners, while also giving patients what they were looking for.

By launching Two Front, she gave dentists a way to make a good amount of passive income renting out their chairs, and orthodontists a way to grow their practice without going further into debt. By using the Two Front platform, not only are costs streamlined and reduced for patients, but they’re also able to reduce their in office visits by 80%. Currently, only available in Los Angeles, Two Front plans to be in every major city by the end of the year. 

What You’ll Learn:

• Why mail-order aligners are a bad idea.
• What the 4 steps of the orthodontic process are.
• How many hours a day you need to wear aligners to be effective.
• And much more!!

Today we are talking inner work and healing. As the founder of Evolve Restorative Therapy, the creator of the Freedom Mastery Experience, and best selling author, Patrick Lerouge knows what he’s talking about. Having been in healthcare for 23 years, working mainly with women, Patrick knows how easy it is for women to lose themselves. Focusing on being the best wife and mother, they often forget what makes them, them. Patrick and Nikki discuss the importance of finding your way back to yourself. 

It’s been said that 85% of what we do as an adult is dictated by what was impressed upon us in our first 7 years of life. That’s why a lot of healing is done through inner child work. As a baby we learn to rely on our parents, and sometimes as adults we end up having a hard time doing what's best for us without someone telling us it’s important. Well, Patrick is here to tell you that it’s important to take care of yourself.  He’ll even take it a step further, and break down the best way to accomplish that.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to listen to your body.
• Why making mistakes is actually a good thing.
• What the 5 pillars of mindset are.
• How to differentiate between wants and needs.

There are plenty of coaches out there that promise to help you change your life, but not all of them have gone through the system they’re selling themselves. Dr. Abraham, author of In Control: Taking Complete Control of Your Life and Career, has developed a systematic way for ordinary people to become extraordinary individuals. He doesn’t just talk the talk, he’s actually walked the walk.  Learning from other people’s trials and errors, he’s ready to help you do the same. 

Trying to figure everything out yourself isn’t admirable, it’s foolish. Save yourself the time, money, and heartache, and utilize the resources that are all around you. The goal is to not only love what you do, but to love who you do it with, who you do it for, and how you do it. There’s no switch to flip to get to this point, it takes going through different experiences with a focus on the journey, not just the destination.

What You’ll Learn:

• What to look for in a coach.
• Why people struggle to grow their strengths.
• What the 12 pillars of success are.
• And much more!

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s a lesson that Greg Simpson learned first hand after investing in numerous real estate seminars.  After meeting his wife, Greg realized his first business as a pool boy wasn’t going to be enough to support a family.  Catching an infomercial at 3 am, Greg was convinced that flipping houses was the answer.  After his dad invested a small fortune into these seminars, Greg learned very little, but was fortunate enough to meet a true mentor.  

Going forward, Greg learned a lot about flipping houses and selling wholesale.  He didn’t want others to go through what he did to gain that knowledge, and so he started his own real estate investing course.  He’s now fixed and flipped over 100 houses and has just launched his own full service mortgage company.  Furthermore, he’s aware of all the uncertainties in today’s market, and is offering sound advice on riding this wave.

What You’ll Learn:

• What the fundamentals of buying properties are.
• Why you should never invest on speculation. 
• How supply chain issues are affecting house flipping.
• And much more!
