“Fall Deeply in Love – with Yourself,” with Guest, Author, Mindful Living Expert, “Strictly Come Dancing” Winner and “Dancing With the Stars” Judge, Camilla Sacre Dallerup, and Musical Guests, Multi-Disciplinary Performing Artist, Vocalist, Danielle Crook, and 3-Time World Champion & Revolutionary Accordionist Cory Pesaturo on The LIFE CHANGES Show #565

Guest: CAMILLA SACRE DALLERUP; and Musical Guests: DANIELLE CROOK and CORY PESATURO

CAMILLA SACRE DALLERUP

Camilla Sacre-Dallerup is an author, life coach and mindful

living expert. She is an NLP master practitioner coach, certified

hypnotherapist and a popular meditation teacher at the trendy

Unplug Meditation studio in Los Angeles.

Before she started her life coaching and motivational speaking

business in the UK ten years ago, she spent over 25 years as a

successful competitive athlete in the world of ballroom

dancing. Camilla was part of the original cast of Strictly Come

Dancing (the UK’s equivalent to Dancing With the Stars in the

US). After winning the trophy in 2008, she left to focus on her

wellbeing business.

Throughout her years of competing and working in the media,

one thing became very apparent to her: when the body and

mind are in harmony, you are connected and can be the best

version of yourself, enabling you to deal with everyday

situations from a more conscious place.

Camilla is a popular motivational speaker and her first self- help/memoir was published in January 2015. Entitled Strictly Inspirational in the UK and the US, it is based on the premise: “how I learnt to dream, act, believe to succeed”.

Camilla has founded her own life coaching, hypnosis and meditation practice – ZENME – in Hollywood,

where she is the coach to many celebrities, producers and entrepreneurs and where her mission is to

inspire the world to meditate and take time for self-care daily.

“Volunteering for Our Planet,” with Guest Sparrow R. Heatley, Advocate for the Planet, from Ocean to Land and Skies, and Co-Founder of the Nonprofit Organization, “From The Heart Tribe,” and Musical Guests, Award Winning, Singer Songwriter, Producer, Conservationist, Samuel J and The Light Band, on The LIFE CHANGES Show #564

Guest: SPARROW R. HEATLEY and Musical Guests: SAMUEL J and THE LIGHT BAND

SPARROW R. HEATLEY

Sparrow Heatley is one of two founders of the nonprofit organization From The Heart Tribe. Sparrow has been organizing events and bringing people together to help the environment in Los Angeles for over 11 years.

In 2009, Sparrow helped organize, along with Sean Jennings and Tim Morris, one of the greatest community events in West Los Angeles—“100 Gardens for Gratitude” where over 800 volunteers installed 100 edible gardens in one weekend across Los Angeles at homeless shelters and boys & girls clubs.  This team-building event transformed lawns into drought-tolerant native species or edible landscapes that improved both the environment and water supply.

In 2010, Sparrow helped Topanga Canyon Earth Day Festival creator Stephanie Lallouz organize an annual weekend event featuring live music and vegan food, and highlighted environmental conservation, community, and healing for over 10 thousand attendees. Sparrow continued to help organize this festival until its finale year in 2013. 

Beach cleanups started in 2011 when Sparrow lived in The Bahamas. She soon realized that Paradise Island wasn’t a paradise after all; its beaches around the tourist centers were covered in plastic trash.  To save life in the ocean and restore beauty to its beaches, Sparrow organized her first “Pick Up for Paradise” beach cleanup ridding the pink sands of Nassau from plastic straws and cigarette butts. After leaving the Bahamas for Los Angeles, she continued the effort and carried on the “paradise” name in hopes that people would consider their world a paradise even if it wasn’t an island.  

In 2019, From The Heart Tribe (FTHT) was officially designated as a 501c3. FTHT became the perfect platform to support and inspire leaders to organize environmental, community, or animal welfare events. 

As an ocean advocate, Sparrow organizes scientific data collection through her beach cleanups in order to advance environmental legislation in California, which contributed to the banning of plastic bags and plastic straws.  As a public speaker, she raises awareness about current environmental issues affecting Los Angeles as she did for Proposition 67 in 2016 and the “Clean Water Act” Measure W in 2018.

Sparrow’s passion and strength is helping people understand that some lifestyle choices are destroying the oceans. She strives to create solutions for our planet through her environmental events. To that extent, she goes beyond the ocean and teams up with organizations like TreePeople (a California 501c3 for mountain and park restoration) encouraging volunteers to take action.

Outside her environmental work, Sparrow is a massage therapist and yoga instructor who works with top athletes and people fighting cancer.  She holds degrees in business and management, and studied permaculture design.  Sparrow is continuing her education for green initiatives and renewable energy. During her spare time she enjoys hiking, paddle boarding, snowboarding, and pottery.

“Being Spherical,” with Guests, Authors, and Co-Founders of Spherit Inc., Phil and Pam Lawson, and Musical Guests, Singer / Songwriter and Storyteller, From Broadway to the Grand ‘Ol Opry, Sara Niemietz, and Emmy Award Winning Composer, and Guitar Virtuoso, W.G. Snuffy Walden, on The LIFE CHANGES Show #563

Guests: PHIL and PAM LAWSON; and Musical Guests: SARA NIEMIETZ and W.G. SNUFFY WALDEN

PHIL and PAM LAWSON

About Being Spherical

Being Spherical; Reshaping Our Lives and Our World for the 21st Century, is “an attractively bound and illustrated modern philosophical treatise,” according to the editorial reviewer, Dr. John Maling, PhD., with “practical tools” for thoughtful individuals who are “concerned with our world, and its long-term direction and our long-term survival as a civilization and race.”  

Authors Phil Lawson and Rob Lindstrom more simply defined it as “a guided tour of an emerging worldview.” 

What started out with a question: Why doesn’t the world work the way we were told it does? Turned into a realization that we, as a species are not adapting well to the realities of our times.

While Being Spherical provides the core foundation for a new way to see, think and act, in this dawning era of interconnectivity and interdependency, Phil believes people also need a way to model and apply this in real-life without having to study the sciences behind it. That’s what he’s doing now; what he and Pam are both doing now. Their boutique R&D company, Spherit, has developed a technology that demonstrates to people that it is possible, and easy, to make better decisions, in real-time, when you update your personal operating system from mechanistic to holistic.

More than 40,000 people in different ages and demographics have experienced this humane technology, in many fields and uses, including the health industry, workforce, education, employment readiness, food security, and interpersonal relations, used by U.S. military personnel.

To be spherical, you must see, think, and act spherical, say Phil and Pam.

More About Phil and Pam Lawson

When Pam and Phil met at the age of six, in the lobby of a church in Denver, both of their families were in crisis.

Pam’s mother had recently died from complications of

multiple sclerosis, and Phil’s little sister had been

diagnosed with leukemia and was enduring the treatments

to recover.

They were in survival mode back then, experiencing constant, disruptive

change. A new step-family for Pam; a cross-country move for Phil. Both of them

switching houses and schools, repeatedly, in the midst of leaving friends and

losing track of each other.

But Pam and Phil had a bond that was unforgettable. And Phil tracked Pam

down the winter of 1968, when she was 13,
