Threads of Enlightenment | Mindset & Awakening Stories

I interviewed Lois Hollis, RN BSN REV. Lois is an author, blogger, Shame/Guilt Educator, Counselor, and now Filmmaker. She discovered that shame and guilt join forces to create 24-hour negativity that causes emotional and physical illnesses. Shame talks in our sleep, and guilt talks in our waking moments, telling us we are powerless and bad. Once Lois discovered that shame and guilt were responsible for her anxiety, depression, and life-threatening illnesses, she healed from childhood traumas and 30 yrs. of migraine headaches. She shepherds others out of a crisis, seeking success, or spiritual growth with her knowledge of how to identify, release, and avoid shame and guilt. She helped develop one of the first Kidney Hemodialysis Units in the country and other firsts. She authored Soul Mirror Cards and three books. Lois aspires to use the magic of film to make shame and guilt visual. Her documentary series, “I’m Good”, will illustrate the shame/guilt dangers and how to avoid them.

Lois’ film, Out of Discord Into Harmony teaches us how to communicate with our emotions, especially our inner critics. Her film also illustrates the Soulspeaks method that brings peace to our inner personalities and our inner critics. Her newest film “I’M Good Film” https://www.imgoodfilm.com/ makes shame/guilt visible to illustrate its trickery and how to kick it out of our lives to live in success. She is the author of three books. Emotional Revolution=Evolution gives a philosophical and new approach to shame and guilt that has never been seen before. Five-Hundred Questions Have One Answer is her e-book. Her newest book, “Now is The Time,” contains her Light Language soul readings that expand our spiritual development and help us to stop the shame/guilt energy upon our lives. These divine words bring our hearts and soul together.

I encourage everyone to buy her books follow her, and be transformed through her insights.

Everyone has a story, and this is her story.

I interviewed Ryan Cote. Ryan is an author and entrepreneur. He is the owner of Morning Upgrade, a business dedicated to increasing the awareness of personal development through a blog, podcast, book, and morning routine cards. He is also co-owner of his family’s marketing agency and a real estate investor.

Ryan stated that he comes from a family of entrepreneurs and currently helps run his family’s direct mail and digital marketing company, Ballantine, with my uncle and two brothers, his dad retired in 2017. Rayan's great uncle started the company in 1966 — fast forward to today, and they have a great team all working together to help their clients succeed. They also just launched a new roofing company under the Ballantine umbrella called Ballantine Home Improvement!

Ryan considers himself a serial entrepreneur. Ever since college, he has had side ventures from affiliate marketing to building & selling an eCommerce website to providing SEO services to small businesses, and more, he says that he still has an active interest in creating, testing, and trying new things in business (for example, my passion project, Morning Upgrade!). 

Not only did I come from a family of entrepreneurs, but according to Ryan his wife, Jill pushed him into becoming a real estate investor. 15 years later they are now landlords.

Rayn's goal with Morning Upgrade is to create a real impact in the world…essentially wanting to raise the awareness of morning routines and personal development. He hopes to eventually reach 100,000 visitors per month to his website. His desire is to achieve the creation of a community that helps people build happier, more fulfilling lives while discovering strategies for reaching their goals. 

He seeks to convince people to take an active interest in personal development by developing a strong morning routine. In his personal experience, morning routines have been the catalyst to success and growth in his life. He knows that it can do the same for you! 

Simply put, Morning Upgrade's mission is to inspire as many people as possible to create a morning routine habit and take their personal development to new levels.

I encourage everyone to buy his book follow him and be transformed by his insights.

I interviewed Tom Glaser. Tom is a psychologist and life coach with over 30 years of experience. Tom is also the author of the Amazon bestseller 'Full Heart Living: Conversations with the Happiest People I Know,' Following the unhappiest period of his adult life, Tom set out to find how nine of the happiest people he knows got that way. These nine exceptionally happy but otherwise ordinary people shared how they honor their strengths and weaknesses, connect with their true passions and enrich their lives and those around them.

In Full Heart Living, Tom uncovers what's behind the simple yet profound everyday choices these truly happy people make. Plus, he breaks down those choices into easy-to-follow steps. Take your first step. As Anne Frank said, ''Whoever is happy will make others happy too.'' He is now working on a second book and video project on Resilience following Trauma. Whether writing, counseling individuals or groups, appearing in media or teaching, his passion for helping people live their best lives flows through. which launched three years ago via a performance piece, Full Heart Living LIVE! has several workshops.

THE RELATIONSHIPS RESET: Through practicing active listening with cultivated “Conversation Sparks,” this beloved “playshop” provides an immediate experience of deep connecting. You’ll practice skills you can take with you that can lead to more satisfying relationships with yourself and others and richer, happier life.

THE RESILIENCE REBOOT: An introduction to three Pathways to Resilience: Body, Mind, and Heart. Explore and strengthen skills of “exquisite self-care” and improve your relationship with your body, your mind, your heart, and your loved ones while strengthening your ability to bounce back from whatever life has to offer.

BEFRIENDING THE SELF: AN INTRODUCTION TO SELF-COMPASSION: Westerners are bombarded with messages that we aren’t okay, leading to negative self-beliefs and unhealthy relationships. Self-compassion provides a potent antidote. This experiential workshop introduces meditation practices that help open our hearts to self-acceptance and self-love.

I Interviewed Travis Chustz. Travis is an author, blogger, YouTuber, Life coach, spiritual adviser, and developer of the H.U.G. method. In his book, Boxed In, Travis redefines very common words to make them more inclusive. The world is constantly changing, but the way certain words have been defined are pillars of the human experience. Words that most impact societies include family, parent, wealth, and perfect. Family and “parent are two of the most prominent words, if not the biggest, when describing human dynamics. Contrary to their standard definitions. There are many different types of families and parents. Wealth” and “perfect” are two words many people use as a benchmark for social status or goal setting. Boxed In will help bring a shift in perspective to make millions of you included. definitions. Travis uses stories from my life, as well as the lives of my influential and inspiring family and friends, to challenge our definition of these pillars. He desires to make people feel united through these updated perspectives.

I interviewed Debbie Freeman. Debbie is a podcaster, a motivational speaker, and an entrepreneur. Debbie is a savior of physical and sexual abuse as a child and became determined to make her dreams a reality. At the early age of 19, she opened her first dance studio. As a dancer and business owner, Debbie was offered the opportunity to audition for the Atlanta Hawks NBA dance team competing against 400 girls and was awarded to be one of 12 members. Her success led her to 42nd Street, Will Rogers Follies, and became the Dance Captain of the World Famous Radio City Rockettes. She also became a choreographer and choreographed the show 'Beats of Passion' at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. After going through a painful divorce with an addict, she lost everything, including self-confidence which led to unhealthy nutrition and poor choices in her lifestyle so much so that she gained 100 pounds. Through self-love and determination, Debbie found herself again and was able to lose that 100 pounds and go on to become the United States of America Ms. Nevada 2021 at 51 yrs.

She walked through the journey with two children and within a year and a half of making better choices, she now has Masterclasses for students of all ages in modeling, interviewing, health and self-awareness. Her mission now is to empower women by inspiring them to fight through any fears or disbeliefs they may have and live their best lives.

I encourage everyone to follow her, listen to her podcast, and be transformed through her insights.

I interviewed Gregory Offner. Gregory is one of the most in-demand experts on the topic of professional performance and navigating disruption. His clients include Fortune 100 companies. He is often asked to keynote at conferences where industry leaders and executives turn to him for new perspectives on elevating performance, eliminating disengagement, and making work suck less. After enduring 15 surgeries on his vocal cords and nearly losing the ability to speak permanently, Gregory makes sure the words he uses matter in every conversation. As one who uses a lens of experience from both the corporate world and the world of a professional entertainer, Gregory feels that he can help the hearer from every background connect and understand the power of their words. Gregory believes he speaks not to impress but rather to share an understanding of how we look at the world of work, our mindset, and how those perceptions and perspectives impact performance. He also believes that we're here to do more than make money (though money is necessary) to make an impact.

I encourage everyone to follow him and be transformed by his insights.

I interviewed Inger Nordin. Inger holds several degrees, and certifications MSc Computer Science & Technology, Executive Master of Business Administration, Project Management Professional, Effective Directorship, Business Accelerator Bootcamp, Millionaire Business Builder Camp, Ultimate Leadership Camp, and Life Enhancement Processing. She's an author, speaker, and life & business coach. She is the Founder and Owner of “IN Life Amplification” (life and business coaching, training, etc.) and had a property investment company in the USA which she closed in 2021. With over 35 years of experience working in different positions in big international corporations, she has mastered the complete sales and delivery process. Her drive, goal- and result-oriented focus developed her great leadership capability.

After retiring from the corporate world Inger became bored and knew she had so much more to offer. She missed being a part of something. It was during this time that she came across a life-changing seminar that put her on a new path and purpose. As she began moving in this new direction, she realized she was on the right path when people started to approach her and tell her that she was inspired and had a duty to step up and be seen. This verified that she found her new calling.

Her passion is helping people to truly succeed and so her coaching is almost always based on the learnings of Alan C. Walter; working with “processing” - aiding people via an efficient and effective method to recover their life-force particles so that they are able to gain mastery over all areas of their life.

Her slogan: It’s never too late to start over - I did it when I was 65 - what’s your excuse?

Inger states proudly that she has "always been told that I am an inspiration to others" - let me step up and be this at the age of 70.

I encourage everyone to buy her book and follow her and be transformed by her insights.
