Kati was recently awarded a scholarship to learn how to become an orator/motivational speaker and her ultimate goal is to start a foundation called , Mi Propio Diamante (My Own Diamond), which aims to empower survivors and promote healing. She shares her personal journey of healing and how her parents' support and her spirituality was imperative in her process. Kati talks about her volunteer work with Victim Services, and the need to support children as well as adults who are striving to heal from all types of abuse.  In this conversation, Kati and Jan discuss the vital need to educate children about safe touch and consent and why these conversations need to start early in order to be effective.  Kati is an inspiration to other young survivors.

Jan is joined by Edit B Kiss a holistic mentor, success habit coach, #1 best selling author, Humanitarian Award winner and international speaker. She works with clients on releasing long-lasting pains, blockages, ancestor defects and emotional traumas so they could live fulfilled and joyful lives. Edit originally was a petroleum engineer, working in the petroleum industry for 15 years before being a life-coach full time. During those years she trained to become a Reiki Master, a Sekhem Healer and a Karma Yogi Practitioner under the teaching of Karma Guru Sumant Kaul; strengthened her extra senses; and worked on several family constellation therapies. She learned life-coaching from the Satori Prime brothers (who base their work on Landmark approaches) and was trained by Bob Proctor, who is known for his appearance as a featured expert in the movie, The Secret. Edit came to this work after years of suffering silently with panic attacks and realized that she needed a new approach to healing.  She began her journey when she visited a Reiki Master and discovered that this was her path in life and trained to become a full time Holistic Mentor. Edit stresses the need to take time for meditation, mindfulness, and other self-care practices. Healing is a personal responsibility.
