Nearly 10 years ago Paul looked in the mirror and realized that he did not recognize the person staring back at him. He realized that he had been living a lie for the past 25 years. He realized that he had been sacrificing his own happiness for the happiness of others and it had to stop. He couldn’t keep living that way.

Mckynleigh "Miki" Abraham is a professional stage actor and self-esteem coach. Most recently seen in the 1st National Tour of Once On This Island, she has toured the country with 2 national tours, performed internationally on cruise lines, spent 3 months in L.A. on a reality television show, danced on hot concrete 6 times a day at a theme park, and been in 3 productions put on by an Amish regional theatre...if you can name it, she's done it.  In 2017 she did a contract and her supervisor told her that was overweight. They threatened her job security if she didn't "lose the weight". She didn't have the tools to deal with this. She wanted to hide away and make herself smaller, that was the only thing that made sense. This taught her that she needed to learn how to navigate through this tough industry that we love to hate to love. In 2018 she became an ICF accredited certified life coach and over the past year, she has helped numerous humans navigate that tricky thing called life with empathy, accountability, and mental health education.
