In her book, author Johanna Crawford shares her 12 years of extraordinary, hands-on experience in supporting women and provides the reader with a pragmatic and compassionate perspective on the steps needed to effectively go from surviving to thriving.

Many authors deal with the emotional aspects of abuse, but few present a roadmap for women to regain their financial self-sufficiency to change their lives and those of their families.

Through an interactive, collaborative approach, It Takes a Woman offers space and methods for readers to explore their dreams and define specific, actionable steps and goals to regain power over their lives.

The book helped inspire a film that had its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival in October 2023 and closed the Palm Beach Film Festival that same month. The author appears in the film.

It's an epic tale that spans more than 30 years. As the Cold War took hold at that dawn of the 1950s the U.S. government began a program to perfect the atom bomb. The Nevada Test Site would be the prime location for testing atomic weapons on U.S. soil. A key to the program was to reduce impact to the public by having the radioactive nuclear fallout drift "downwind" into sparsely-inhabited areas of Utah.....

The US is experiencing both a mental health and a climate crisis that are linked in many ways. Current approaches have failed to meaningfully address both crisis. Using extensive research, interviews with program leaders, and examples, Preventing and Healing Climate Traumas describes how community-based, culturally tailored, population-level mental wellness and resilience-building initiatives are preventing and healing social, psychological, emotional, ands behavioral problems generated by the climate crisis and other adversities as local residents also engage in local solutions to the challenges they face.

I coordinate the International Transformational Resilience Coalition , which is a network of organizations working to prevent and heal the mental health and psychosocial impacts generated by accelerating climate-related toxic stresses, emergencies, and disasters...

Is getting "unstuck" feeling hard? Well, Dying To Live: Love Stories will be a scaffold for your brave explorations of stubborn blockages. Within this memoir, which is somewhat academic, somewhat other-worldly, somewhat painful, somewhat joyous, and angry about the lack of kindness we find in our individual and collective lives, we bear witness to how Jaqueline turns her terrifying demons into valuable warrior minions. Strange as it seems, death, sexual and physical abuse, illnesses, betrayals, failure, and definitely not fitting in are Jaqueline's elixirs for real growth...and for sustaining Love. Unrelenting fights for her resurrections reinforce your commitment to do the same---live richly, deeply and stay true to your own soul. Spirit seems to talk directly to us through these love stories, and Spirit is so revered because it is Spirit which leads us through our darkest of days and toward more and more light. Dr. Becker shows us how to use all our senses to hear Spirit talk directly to us as she raises the positive value of suffering to its highest level.

On July 29, 1890, a hot and muggy afternoon, shortly after Vincent van Gogh was laid to rest after his honor killing for “compromising” his doctor's twenty-one-year-old daughter, Marguerite, twenty-six (26) of his unknown paintings and other art material were stolen from the hotel where he had been laid out for his final viewing by his doctor and his son. This was the largest art heist of a single artist ever, and today would be worth many billions! This theft led to the Gachet art forgery ring and many fakes, forgeries, and altered provenance for years. This is the story in the book 3 of the Killing Vincent Trilogy of what happened to all this art and to Marguerite and her sad, long life without her Vincent. This book three is the finale of the Trilogy. Book one was Killing Vincent and proved forensically that it was not possible for Vincent to self-inflict his mortal wound. If Vincent did not shoot himself in the belly, (of all places) then whoever put that penetrating wound in his abdomen murdered him! Book two, Love and Murder, now in your hands answers the questions of how, why, and where Vincent van Gogh was murdered and how a brilliant cover up of the murder was accomplished by the persons of interest using the false narrative of a suicide as a martyr for his art. There is also a sneak preview of chapter one from book three The Day Vincent van Gogh was Murdered; The Honor Killing that Changed Art History Forever and Led to The Greatest Art Heist in Modern Times. Hopefully this will you excite you to put the entire Killing Vincent Trilogy together in your mind’s eye in preparation for the major movie, Finally Love.

You have the drive and work ethic…but just don’t know how to start.

Should you franchise your own business or buy into a well-known brand?

Two of the roads to financial freedom are building a business or buying into a franchise. Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Gregory K. Mohr has done both. From managing restaurants to micro-circuit engineering, he had a broad range of experience. When he found franchising, though, that’s when everything changed.

It all started when he got laid off. Greg’s career had left him feeling empty for some time. If he was going to change his life, he had to get to it. Franchising did exactly that. He had the energy and drive that was missing from the 9-5 job and with that came success. It wasn’t easy, though, as he had to learn the ins and outs of the contracts and how to avoid the mistakes that most people made.

This book will save you time. With over 200 clients who’ve learned his methods, Greg has a proven record of success that makes him the teacher for you.
