    https://linktr.ee/Kirsten.McNeill https://www.subscribepage.com/worthywriterslifestyle Book Editor, Author & Confidence Coach at Worthy Writers Editing Creative Entrepreneur “If I can change one life, I’ll consider myself successful.” HI! I’m Kirsten, a confidence coach and book editor. I love supporting writers as they empower themselves to create their writing lifestyle that fills them with passion and unrelenting confidence. You are worthy of your desired journey. Ever since I was in 2nd grade, I’ve known I wanted to be a writer – creating relateable characters, inspiring adventures, and stories with a lasting impact. In 2015, after graduating college, I began my entrepreneurial journey as a copywriter. Along the way, I published a couple books (which are now unpublished as they no longer reflect who I want to be as a writer). As my writer community grew and I learned more about myself and the impact I wanted to create in the world, I evolved into a Full-service Book Editor. In 2021, I launched Worthy Writers Editing. Because I love inspiring others to be unapologetically confident, I trained to be a certified Life & Wellness Coach! As a Confidence Coach, I have the opportunity to help writers live out their dreams with a sunflower sunshine mindset. I would love to learn about your writing journey and work with you in one of many Author Services: Developmental Editing Copy & Line Editing Proofreading Manuscript Critique Create With Purpose 1:1 Confidence & Motivation Coaching (3-month duration + 90-Min Intensive Available) To get to know me, share more of your journey, and learn where you need support, book a video call: Book 45-Min Worthy Writers Conversation Welcome to the Worthy Writers Community!

  • Coach Jai Harvey Yin with the power of the Woo Woo
    Youtube https://youtu.be/CTLRZjz3lrY
    https://www.reikilovejai.com At a time when my life took a huge pivot, I was forced to outsource ways of managing stress, anxiety, overload and a feeling of limbo. I discovered Reiki. It truly helped me reconnect with myself as well as managing the symptoms of the unusual turmoil in my life. I will be forever grateful for this. ​ Now I want to share this with others. With you. ​ Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Energy; and Reiki practitioners use this energy to help your body help itself to heal through deep relaxation, chakra balancing and stress relief. ​ As a reiki practitioner I hope to combine my philosophy of love, kindness and positivity; my 25years experience as a hands-on beauty & massage therapist; my signature "tickles" and my need to help others feel better. I have created a little sanctuary in my studio and look forward to welcoming you in my studio.

  • Dr. Melinda Thacker a coach for surgeons
    Youtube https://youtu.be/BepLMqM6J5w
    Meet Mel-https://www.melthackercoaching.com The Power of Belief When I was 13 years old, I decided I was going to become a surgeon. I knew it with such conviction that there was no other option for me but to take action to realize that dream. Despite having no exposure to the medical field, despite growing up in poverty reliant on food stamps and government assistance, despite finding myself temporarily homeless at age sixteen--despite all these seemingly insurmountable obstacles--I made it happen. Because the only things that mattered were my DESIRE and my BELIEF. I desired to become a surgeon, and I believed I could achieve that goal. Everything else was just drama and obstacles. For the first 7 years of my career I thought I was okay, but I wasn't. Burnout is an insidious thing, and surgeons are trained to tolerate prolonged discomfort. Part of the problem was that I hadn't defined “success” for myself. My automatic brain told me I should be satisfied with performing surgeries, taking care of patients, making money, and just getting through the grind until retirement, but my essential self completely disagreed. There had to be more to life as a working surgeon. It felt like I was trapped in a career I didn't sign up for. So I distracted myself with overworking and false pleasures. I people pleased and overachieved and sought external validation, but at the end of the day I just felt deeply and profoundly EMPTY. It was exhausting. Eventually something had to give. I couldn’t be everything to everyone and nothing to myself. Who was my true self anyway? I had been trained to ignore my mind and body for so long that my real identity was a mystery to me.

  • Helana Callard helping pregnant women and puzzle enthusiast puts it all together
    Youtube Version https://youtu.be/8xoFM0GvgDc
    https://fairplaypuzzles.com 150+ puzzles 90 brands That's how many puzzles I have enjoyed putting together. I discovered a great love of puzzles during an extremely challenging time in my life. In March 2021, I was severely injured in a car accident and had to take a break from my Certified Midwife position in the Bronx, where I have cared for underserved women for the last 23 years. I started putting together puzzles to fill the time after being left immobilized for months and to take my mind off my pain and concerns about my recovery. Fairplay Puzzles is committed to carrying a wide selection of puzzle brands dedicated to representing and celebrating diversity, equity, and inclusion. We embrace these core values in all aspects of our business, from the brands we sell to the people we choose to do business with and the charitable causes we support. Our puzzle brands reflect these core values, and we have a special place in our hearts for start-up MWBE brands and artists sharing life and cultural representations from their experiences and perspectives. Aesthetic Vibe and Fun Factor Puzzle art plays a big part in the puzzle selection and diversity of genres when Helana chooses puzzles for the shop. Each puzzle chosen is a vibrant and beautiful work of art that is fun to do, and represents the richness of our diversity of cultures, experiences, perspectives, and beliefs—storytelling through puzzles.

    https://creativegirlhelpingtheworld.com It’s my passion to help Creative Empaths like you - to embrace your unique gifts, as your very own super powers and to use them to create an authentic life you love; fully in alignment with the creativity and empathy you were born to share with the world. Being a Creative Empath myself, I know the artistic perspective, the intuitive nature and the deep feelings that we bring into everything we do in our lives - and I can't imagine being any other way! But I also know about the challenges, frustrations, doubts and criticism that you face every day while trying to navigate your life as a highly creative and sensitive person. So it's my goal to help you embrace your gifts as the amazing abilities they truly are and to help you understand that our world needs you to share all of them, so we can all learn and heal from the examples of self-expression, vision, intuition, empathy and so much more that you show us every day when you're empowered to live as your authentic self
