About Rebeccah
FROM SURVIVING SILENCE
Rebeccah Silence grew up in an alcoholic and abusive home. With the best of intentions, she thought the more she "took it" and stayed "silent," that it would lessen the abuse. Terrified and frozen, she always knew there had to be a better way. Though she survived domestic violence, she was left with a damaged self-esteem and self-worth. She developed anorexia and abused alcohol in the absence of having healing coping skills.Part of her self-healing attempts included becoming a music therapy intern at a state psychiatric hospital. She soon discovered many of the patients weren't mentally impaired. In fact, most patients merely did not have healing coping skills. It was then she decided to become an expert in human behavior. She had a dream of a life filled with healthy love and a healed family without a plan.With a distorted view of healthy relationships and family dynamics, Rebecah's first marriage was doomed to repeat the same heartbreaking results caused by dysfunctional relationship patterns. Rebeccah found herself a single mom surviving an abusive marriage, working three jobs to create a safe and loving home for her family, and despite her best efforts, she went bankrupt. Tragedy did not silence Rebeccah.About Theresa

About Matthew and Audra
To help parents raise their child up to their fullest potential - create leaders, not followers.
Parents worry if they are ‘doing it right’. They often feel like they are being judged by everyone, and want to make sure that your child doesn’t get left behind. If you’re feeling this way, you're not alone. This is what we do all day, every day. Many of our parents were in the same shoes as you are now. They were anxious and worried about helping their child be more equipped to succeed in life. We’re Audra & Matt, parents and dedicated leadership coaches for 25+ years.
