  • EP 86: The Healing Power Of Drum Therapy: Dori Staehle
    What in the world is drum therapy? Is it the same as a drum lesson? Are drums effective as a healing tool? Are drums evil or ungodly? We will find out with my guest Dori Staehle, a Certified Drum Therapist! This is going to an informative and FUN interview as we hear her amazing story of healing from a traumatic accident, and how she has helped people improve their health and lives! My husband Brian will also be co-hosting with me today, so don't miss out!
    Dori's Bio:
    A freak accident in 2011 sent my life into a tailspin. I later decided that I didn’t want to just move onto the next stage of my life, I wanted to rock it - and help others do the same. It was my hobby of drumming that changed everything. It's fast, safe, effective, interactive, science-based, very easy, and loads of fun - with a dash of rock!
    I've created customized programs and techniques that meet the client's or organization's goals. I provide hand drums for in-person classes and events. For virtual classes and events, you can drum on whatever you have. Private clients receive a djembe drum that I ship directly to you (US clients only).
    What can drum therapy do for you? How about:*Reduce stress*Improve clarity and focus*Improve coordination*Boost your memory*Improve overall health*Reduce hyperactivity and ADHD issues*Boost productivity and confidence*Improve team communication and performance*And much more!
    I became certified with the internationally-known Drums and Disabilities Program and I have specialized training with Health Rhythms. I began creating my own techniques, based on the client's or group's needs and formed Next Stage Drumming. I specialize in Christian creatives, entrepreneurs, and female leaders but I've worked with all ages, including seniors and special needs.
    Drumming can be combined with an inspiring talk, a workshop or retreat, or a corporate team-building, health and wellness, or empowerment program. I also have a drum ministry for teens and adults, and I'm a percussionist and Toca Percussion artist.
    My bounce-back story plus tips are featured in my best-selling book, "Find Your Divine Rhythm: A Creative's Success Formula" ( http://amzn.to/1NYTMYP ). My new book, "Rise Up & Rock: Activating Your God-Given Purpose" is now on Amazon ( https://amzn.to/36W7IV8 ).
    Life’s short! It's time to rise up and rock!

  • EP 83: How Can I Be Resilient In Life? Stephanie Olson
    We have a wonderful guest today, Stephanie Olson, from Set Me Free Project! We talked about growing up in a home as a bi-racial child, neglect from her father, her struggles with alcoholism, and an abusive marriage. She is very candid about the pain and self blame from her 3 miscarriages she suffered. We dive into her non profit ministry to prevent sex trafficking and providing resources for abuse survivors. She gives great advice on how each person can discover their intrinsic value and heal from trauma. You will love this interview with Stephanie!
