Lorna Selig

Personal crime can happen to anyone; age, gender, social-economic status is all irrelevant. Kids are bullied at school, a woman is grabbed on the street, someone finds themselves in an abusive relationship, or a child is touched by a creepy relative.
It is one thing to wonder how you would react to a dangerous encounter; it is another thing to KNOW how you would react, says Lorna Selig, Owner & Facilitator from Safe4Life Personal Safety Training. She shares her passionate message with us at Women Talk and says, “it’s important to develop a Safety Plan for yourself and your loved ones, “this philosophy is of ABSOLUTE importance to all people who live and function in our communities. We give ‘Real life’, ‘easy to follow skills and strategies’ to ensure fewer victims and more empowered citizens on our streets, A child as young as 3 years can learn these skills.”

There is at least one truth I have learned about this world and life in general—it is full of contrasts—night and day, light and dark, pain and pleasure, happiness and sorrow, and love and loss. Being a mother is about love and loss. And I wouldn't change a minute of it.

First came a retreat where I met my coach and an amazing group of women who were in that place of “how do I get through this” … and we did! Then came an appointment with my naturopath who said that after reconnecting with myself, this next process would be much easier. I went out to my car and sat there staring at myself in my mirror. What did he mean “reconnecting with myself”? Who did I reconnect with? After some time and realizations, I knew that there was something else inside me that I needed to follow and it wasn’t my heart or mind. It was HER!! It was my soul, my original operating system, My HERwithin!
I wasn’t rebuilding my life puzzle because, you can only build a puzzle one way. I was in the process of building a brand new life puzzle that had bluer skies, brighter colors and a new me.

I guide women through a journey of self-direction. My life of transitions has witnessed divorce, parenting, disease, death, remarriage, step-parenting, job loss, loss of identity, entrepreneurship and the journey isn’t done yet. By finding my own way from within, I was able to redirect myself back on my path.

Your path is right in front of you. If you’re lost on your own path, HERwithin is the place you need to be.

Held captive by her husband, James’ narcissistic personality and mental disease, Colleen is left alone to her thoughts, wavering faith in a Higher Source, and leaning on her gift of song to escape a life that has become a nightmare.

Through the passage of thought and prose Colleen carries the reader along the journey as though they are right there with her: in her mind, feeling her heart-felt melodies, breathing to get through another day, one day at a time, to return to her Children, alive.
What got her there? What drew him to her? Why didn’t she see all the signs? Why didn’t she trust the ‘little red flags’? Where did the man she loved go? Did he ever really exist? How could she let this happen? Why?

Colleen has written her way through adolescence, love, heartbreak, back to love, motherhood, trauma, loss, self-discovery and joy.
Recently her publisher’s Author of the Month, for her memoir INHALE, Colleen inspires listeners through song, and empowers readers through word. She sings the song of the Caregiver, the unsung melody, to free them of guilt, fear and loss of hope.

How The Angels Helped Me Heal

At the age of 53, Giuliana Melo was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. She shares her story of healing.


She is an inspirational woman warrior. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 but she is not a victim, she is a survivor and a thriver!!! Her journey through cancer reached a low when she was so scared that she asked God, “Why me?” That moment was a pivotal point in her life as she realized Why not me??? It opened the way for healing, by the "Grace of God", and allowed her to expand her spiritual awareness. She knew through the practice of Gratitude that there were many blessings to be counted even on those days that were challenging. Like that saying "every day may not be good, but there is good in every day!" and also none of us are promised tomorrow so just make today the best day ever. Yesterday is gone. Forget it. You too can "embrace Grace" and heal mind, body and spirit.

Christina Marlett, BKin, BMT, believes that women have the power to change the world, but first they must address the fact that they need to take charge of their own lives, starting with self-care that goes beyond bubble baths, chocolate and wine.
Christina teaches over-achieving leaders that self-care is not simply about luxurious acts of pampering, but that it’s a real necessity if a woman truly wants to step into her greatness.
Through her coaching, workshops and online programs, Christina helps women revitalize their energy from the inside out so that they can be productive and peaceful at the same time.
Christina is an International Speaker who has shared the stage with Michael Beckwith, Marci Shimoff, Lynne Twist, Ocean Robbins and Jean Houston. She is also a #1 International Best-Selling Author, a Master Facilitator, a Certified Embodiment Coach and the Founder of Courageous Self-Care.

As leaders, our own well-being is often sacrificed. We are determined to give the best care possible to others, and we continue to do so until we're running on empty. It can take a crisis to remind us that before we can care for others, we must care for ourselves.

Christina engages listeners with personal stories of her own journey from running on empty to cultivating renewable energy with Courageous Self-Care.
