Lauren Abrams hosts 52 Weeks of Hope, the podcast where leaders, healers, and others discuss overcoming challenges and manifesting dreams (how you can, too!) and messages of HOPE. It comes from Lauren's own dark night of the soul, where she emerged knowing she must tell her story and that you aren’t alone. 

Lauren is a mom with two great kids, thriving law practice, and giving back community, yet she was here going through dark night of the soul in her life.  She is not that dark or depressive type of person, but she knew she was not alone. 

She decided to go out and ask one person a week, why are you here? and what’s your message? People devoted the most personal information to her. She compiled and, in two months, she had created different common themes. 

Lauren thought of writing a book from the themes, but the pandemic hit, and she pivoted and started podcasting. Laura's podcast aims to provide hope by offering hope in its myriad of stories to teach people what really matters and remind them of the most important thing in life.

Tune in!

Amber Miller is using her life experience as a former broke, blackout train-wreck turned sober, debt-free woman that is abundant in time, money, love, and energy and empowering others that they too are capable of the life they dream of if they just get out of their own way.

Amber’s life consisted of a lot of traumas, drunk a lot in her 20s, and lived from paycheck to paycheck. However, as she got into her early 30s, she decided that she didn’t want that to be her entire life. She didn’t want to repeat the same life that her parent lived.  

Amber made a decision to become sober and quit drinking. In the beginning, she didn’t know how to get to the other side, but she started taking the steps by reading a book. The book helped her through, and she has never looked back.  

Quitting drinking was an impossible goal to get, but after Amber did the impossible, everything changed for her. The curtains were pulled back, and she can now see clearly that nothing is off-limits.

Rob Kessler is the inventor and co-founder of Million Dollar Collar & goTIELESS, a relatively simple solution to fix what his company dubs "Placketitis," the sinking, wrinkling, and folding of the placket of a casually worn dress shirt. goTIELESS is the first shirt designed to be worn TIELESS featuring Million Dollar Collar.

Most men nowadays don't wear ties with their dress shirts, and the ill-structured collars make them look sloppy. The problem hit Rob hard when his shirt collapsed and looked sloppy on his wedding day. That experience led Rob to experiment on a new solution, which eventually led to the development of a patented functional product. Million Dollar Collar, his solution to sloppy collars, works to fix sloppy collars and can be easily incorporated into any shirt by a tailor.
