You Should Write A Book About That™

Business Coach and former personal chef Stephanie Heller is a straight shooter when it comes to the high price of overthinking.   She wants people to not buy into their broken stories because the costs are vast.  Slower decisions in business, losing time because you don’t know what to focus on, not knowing what to invest in or how close you are to people or let in…  are all caused by overthinking.  

Her thriving business once employed eight other chefs - cooking for 30 different athletes and sports club owners and for the Dodgers spring training major and minor league teams - but she overthought even with the success.  She eventually walked away from a fantastic income for eleven years to pursue her dream to help other people who are struggling… with what used to drain her on a daily basis… overthinking.  

Now she has freedom with coaching, and can still cook to relax (she gives a wonderful pesto recipe at the end you don’t want to miss.) 

Right now in quarantine we are overthinking our kids schooling, health of aging parents, the future of our businesses…  and we need to be vigilant to not dulling ourselves with various unhealthy distractions.  These behaviors she outlines (which she calls buffering) can hold us back from our dreams.   The true only way through overthinking is to be okay in the uncertainty.

Felicia "ONYI" Richards, an artist and a healer,  helps us with grounding into joy. No matter what happens there is always joy to be found because that is the natural state of existence. Nothing can steal your joy. 

Accountability and ownership come into play in remaining in a more positive state of mind. Her work drives people to realize they have agency and power when it comes to how they want to feel and live. 

She suggests you stay in your power to feel your joy, and not attach to anger.  Anger can inform us about situations and we can thank that emotion for how it is teaching us.  

Right now we are in a state of fear in our country and the world.  We are seeking blame.  She educates us in a  way to look at fear from a West African practice, and if you are looking for a new perspective, her teachings inspire us to be bold and own our personal energy. 

She gives three quick tips for staying in joy over the next two weeks:

1. Do what brings you joy - dancing, singing, and in the highest vibration you can be in,
2. Be grounded.  Go outside, touch the earth.  Be in a reflection of nature.
3. Use everything for a positive benefit.

Many of us live in urban environments which are inherently more stressful than living on a farm or in nature. Much of that stress, though, is created by lack of sleep and not actively seeking solutions for good nutrients.  Then stress causes mounting medical problems and down the rabbit hole goes our health.  

Sleep doesn’t cost you anything (all you have to do is put down that phone.)  Mushrooms boost the immune system (and can be bought at the 99 cents store), and meditation, even in a hectic environment, can simply be sitting next to a plant, under a tree or having a small herb garden in your window sill.  These tips are just a few of the valuable insights provided by primary care and integrative physician Dr. Daniela Connelly.

Originally from Ecuador, Dr. Connelly moved to the US for her masters in public health which led her to South Africa working on the impact of HIV on health care workers.  After four years there and four kids in tow, her family settled down on a farm in New England. 

Sometimes thought of as a kooky doctor who could be known to give a recipe for overnight oats versus a statin, Dr. Connelly  untangles the small elements that can reduce stress and help you become healthier faster. She shares her valuable wisdom at a time when we are suffering a rise in fatigue and pain under the continual fear and discussion of a global pandemic.

Dana Pharant is not afraid to take the alternative road when it comes to healing and self-expression. Seeing the results of dungeon play in healing her own abuse trauma, she spent six years as a dominatrix, helping her clients step into their power.  Shortly after, she created a seven figure spa product business, but did not bring in her dominatrix teaching to leadership.  While a hard lesson (she lost that business), she quickly recovered and has since built a new coaching business, written books, won awards and now holds magic mushroom ceremonies for healing.

Award winning fiction podcast creator and YA author Lauren Shippen talks with us about how creating The Bright Sessions gave her creative freedom and authority in her career.  She started with a character who time travels with panic attacks, minimal equipment and YouTube editing tutorials and has skyrocketed her career in a short five years.  Supported by an organic community, she received a three book deal, wrote a Marvel audio show, and landed on Forbes 30 under 30 in media.  She is a beautiful example of how an organic idea built out of necessity turned into a long withstanding IP and further doors opening in her career.

When Rory Green was eight, she realized her mother author Jackie Collins was famous.  On a book tour in Australia, she experienced the paparazzi and her mother’s nightly appearances on talk shows.  Raised to believe she could do anything, and knowing she too was a writer, Rory struggled with the fear of falling short in her own literary career under the shadow of such a legend.  When she developed breast cancer, at the same time as her mom was dying of breast cancer, and her grandmother had died of breast cancer, she felt there was a long held trauma she would fight… and she did.  Today she opens candidly about her relationship with Jackie, and her own writing career as a guide and coach.

Martial Artist Sister Nau Ti has trained with the best in the hard and soft styles of martial arts.  As a queer black female who was raised in South Central Los Angeles where gang affiliation was the norm, and after time in the US Airforce, she had a close friend taken out by the violence.  This experience set her on a  journey of further understanding awareness of our surroundings and how we make choices every day to practice self-defense.  As her book coach, I had the privilege to partake in deep discussions with her in writing her book on  how to pre-empt the “great fight” society seems to always push towards us, and live in peace.

Crowdsurf co-founder and marketing expert Cassie Petrey has been on the Forbes’ “30 Under 30”, Variety’s "Hollywood's New Leaders in Digital” and named one of Billboard’s Digital Power Players in 2018 and 2019.  

In our talk, we look at how her generation is still grappling with the same level of problems of gender equality in accolades, but also women making time in their busy lives to market themselves.  She started to create her own content to fill the lack of celebrity female executives on social media with powerful voices and messaging. She loves the short poignant content that she calls “word surgery” that one can do on Twitter. Since she works with teen pop artists, a lot of young people follow her, and can relate when she is honest about anxiety. I was very touched that she makes herself available to anyone who needs to talk through their troubles on DM or email.
