Yulin Lee is the founder and creator of Project M: Mind & Money, a Personal Finance Coaching company whose mission is to empower women to take control of their finances and educate children with financial literacy so that they can grow up with positive mindsets and healthy habits. In the 10 years of working as a mortgage banker and financial advisor, Yulin saw the special challenges that women face and struggle with in terms of finances.  

After a good dose of soul searching, Yulin has found her calling to be the agent for change. From growing up in communist China, to thriving as a financial advisor in Silicon Valley to now working as a Personal Finance Coach in Paris, Yulin wants to break the cycle of women feeling powerless around money due to a combination of lack of resources and financial education, self doubt, denial or the assumption that someone else will take care of them. Her goal is to build a community for women to get together and support each other by sharing their money success stories, worries, and questions without feeling embarrassed or ashamed. She helps women address their financial concerns and create a financial life plan through workshops and private coaching. She's passionate about helping women live a life of financial independence!

In addition, she will also be starting financial literacy classes for children in the fall.

Nicholas Steele is also known as the Unbreakable Man. Though you may not have heard of him before today; he has an amazing story to tell, and as so often happens, the truth is far stranger than fiction.

At age 35, he wasn't much different from other British men of his age, except that he was, perhaps, more determined than most; but unlike so many, he was quite happy with his life, fully aware of his blessings. He was married to his soulmate, and they had recently had a baby boy who was the center of Nicholas’ universe.  Shortly after, he was diagnosed with late end-stage ankylosing spondylitis, an incurable degenerative bone disease.

He miraculously found a way to beat the pain but fickle Fate stepped in and dealt Nicholas an even more tragic blow.  Tune in to this not to be missed, life changing show as Nicholas shares his story and teaches you how to make the impossible POSSIBLE!

 

YOU truly can do anything you set your mind to...

In celebration of the launch of My Paris Story - Living, Loving and Leaping without a net in the City of Lights on May 6th, I am re-airing an interview I did with one of the authors a few months ago.

Stay tuned for more on our exciting book launch and in the meantime, enjoy this uplifting interview with expat entrepreneur Karen Reb Rudel!

Born and raised in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Karen grew up with the aspiration to be a comedian, a musician, or both... She groomed these crafts from a young age by making everyone around her laugh and beginning a lifetime romance with the flute at the age of 9. She went on to study drama at Temple University in Philadelphia and played in a series of bands.

From the age of 30 until she got married, Karen was back and forth between Paris and Philadelphia, working on musical projects and touring (including being the flautist and singer in a Reggae band in Paris). One day her parents came to visit her, and Karen, having learned a lot about Paris, was showing them around when her mother exclaimed, "Karen, you would make a great tour guide!" 

That was the light bulb moment, and as the French say, voila! Sightseekers Delight was born.

Paris has been Karen's stomping ground for nearly 15 years, And when her company came to life 3 years ago, she was able to use all the knowledge and trivia she had on Paris to incorporate it directly into her tours. Her first hand knowledge and insatiable appetite for learning gives her company the historical background and underground cultural scoops that will make your tour unforgettable.  To learn more about Karen:  http://sightseekersdelight.com/

Tamara Laporte (also known as willowing) is a mixed media artist, illustrator and art teacher who loves making a mess and has an unhealthy obsession with brayering paint. Her work can be described as “mixed media folk art”. It ranges from whimsical children’s illustrations to a more stylised fantasy art. Love, mystery, innocence, hope, spirituality, kindness and self-connection inspires her art work. Her paintings often contain healing themes, uplifting messages and inspirational poetry.

She believes that the act of creating art can be a catalyst for healing and personal growth – often, her art classes contain an element of self development as well as learning art techniques. She is deeply passionate about helping people get in touch with their creative fire and would love to help YOU too to get in touch with the artist in you!

She is also a prolific art journaller and more recently, she’s started dabbling in the world of digital creations and has come to enjoy making paintings in Photoshop with a wacom tablet as well. Her work and articles have been published in several magazines and books.

She is based in Brighton in the UK with her lovely husband Andy and her 2 magical children Dylan & Elliot. She’s been teaching online art workshops since 2008 and her ning network has at present almost 13000 members and grows with about 150 mixed media enthusiasts a month!.
