Welcome to Embers and Wind!

Guest Cindy Allen-Stuckey is nudging you to make small, positive shifts in your life when she compares your shift with a 2 degree shift: “So, I want you to think of an ocean liner, and they need to make change just 2 degrees. So, they need to shift 2 degrees. To begin with, that’s a very tiny movement. So, I want to think about shift being action. It’s a movement. But the further along that they go with that 2-degree shift, it’s a big movement away from where they were going. My definition of shift is conscious movement away from disappointing aspects of your life. So, you can walk them through life enhancing experiences and feelings that really do serve your highest being.”

In this episode, guest Cindy Allen-Stuckey takes listeners on a journey through her book, The Shift Café – How to STEP into the POWER of your POTENTIAL. She shares about her early childhood trauma, why this resulted in Cindy holding an unfair grudge against her dad, and how something in her dad’s wallet stimulated Cindy to shift from a closed mindset to an open mindset after her dad’s death. She captivates listeners attention as she tells this story. She talks candidly about being born with a heart defect in the 1950s and her heart surgery to correct the problem when heart surgery did not typically have good outcomes for patients. Cindy asserts most people never step into the power of their potential. She wrote the book to help people who want more in life to step into their potential.  Cindy notes that under the direction of her editor, she convened a group of women to read her book and give her candid feedback for process improvement. She shares they became so engaged in reading the book and completing the exercises to glean maximum value for themselves that they did not give as much feedback for process improvement as she hoped for. They did help Cindy confirm that they get more value out of the book when they read it as a group when Cindy or someone trained leads the group through the exercises in the book. Cindy states that she has now led two groups of women and that six of them are interested in being licensed as trainers. She states that she is establishing a licensing process for people interested in becoming licensed trainers to help people step into the power of their potential. Cindy states the first step for someone who may be interested in being licensed as a trainer is to send Cindy an email at [email protected].
