The Greatest Journey: Reclaiming Your Voice After Abuse

The Greatest Journey: Reclaiming Your Voice After Abuse
Dr. Shafer Stedron, MD is a mother, physician, board-certified neurologist, and Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach, with a focus on helping others reclaim their stories and hone their focus. She is also a musician, writer, and publisher, dedicated to supporting others on their journeys of growth and improved health through storytelling. Raised in the Midwest, Dr. Shafer began her career as a professional singer, songwriter, and producer at just 14 years old. With a bright future ahead, she was accepted to NYU’s School of Music Business and was working in NYC. However, at 20, she married and her life took a different path. For the next two decades, she devoted herself to everything but her marriage to stay in it. During this time, she returned to the Midwest, worked three jobs, earned a degree in psychology, attended medical school, and completed a neurology residency at Indiana University. She then moved to rural Northern Michigan, far from family and friends, where she found herself increasingly isolated and solely focused on her family. Eventually, Dr. Shafer realized that her world had become too small, and she needed to make significant changes, no matter how daunting. After enduring a challenging divorce with young children, she learned to redirect her energy away from her immediate circumstances and toward her goals, taking actionable steps to achieve them. Dr. Shafer supported her daughter in publishing two books, starting the podcast What's Up Young Authors!, and pursuing philanthropic efforts to support wildlife and the humane society. Together, they founded Little House of Dreams, a publishing company dedicated to helping young authors realize their dreams of writing and publishing their books. Dr. Shafer also authored her book, currently in pre-publication, which tells the story of a boy who loves his brightly colored blocks and explores how a mother relates to her neurodiverse son, helping him navigate daily challenges and learn to self-regulate. After becoming a Certified Life Coach through the Jay Shetty Program, Dr. Shafer launched her own life coaching business, where she empowers others to reclaim their stories, sharpen their focus, and take actionable steps toward building a beautiful future and achieving their goals. She has also created a range of supportive content, from music to reels and articles, which resonated deeply with those facing similar life challenges. This led her to start her podcast, Talks with Dr. Shafer, where she shares solo episodes filled with encouraging and inspiring content based on her own experiences, as well as guest episodes featuring individuals who generously use their energy and expertise to help others on their paths to growth and self-awareness. Dr. Shafer also founded an online community, We Don't Tell Our Stories, to support victims of domestic abuse by sharing resources that help them regain self-awareness and encourage them to reclaim their lives. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, she joined the Ski Patrol, an opportunity she had long desired but was not “permitted” to pursue during her marriage. This became one of the first endeavors she embraced after choosing freedom, and the camaraderie, support, and community she found were instrumental in helping her regain self-confidence and move forward on her journey to becoming the woman she is today.

Chris Terzakos on Healing Hernias Naturally: Embracing Self-Love and Purpose for a Transformed Life
Chris Terzakos would like to inspire your audience with his experience and wisdom on leadership, self-healing, healthy aging, and wellness. As a leader, Chris has worked in the construction industry for 40 years. He is also a three-time champion baseball coach.  Currently, he is an entrepreneur working in the investment area, is co-owner of a well-being marketing agency, a coach, and the author of three books: HERNIA WITHOUT SURGERY, NATURAL TESTOSTERONE AFTER 60 and BELONGING TO YOURSELF. BOOK: HERNIA WITHOUT SURGERY: “When I was diagnosed with a hernia my doctor’s recommendation was to prepare for surgery. Instead of preparing for surgery, I decided to create a self-healing plan. My plan included intense research and application of the vast knowledge I found on how to create the ideal conditions to help my body heal itself naturally. You can change your health by changing your lifestyle and change your life by changing your health, but first, you need to be open to shifting your perspective about healing and to know that your body is the real doctor.” BOOK: NATURAL TESTOSTERONE AFTER 60: “There are millions of men going through the issue with low testosterone. In my 60s, I have discovered a better and more effective solution than TRT. Your mind is a powerful tool — use it to create solutions rather than further complicate your life. It’s easy to give up when you don’t know what the next step is, however, living a healthy life requires a healthy attitude which is all up to you. The main key is to be willing to learn, act and grow. Through knowledge, wisdom, and dedication, I created a program that works for me, and my wish is that it could work for you too. You are not alone. There Is Always A Solution To Every Problem And Success Doesn’t Happen By Chance. “ ON SELF-LOVE AND SIMPLE POSITIVE CHANGES: “In my book, Belonging to Yourself, I share the story about my quest to belong. In the search for love and meaning among people, places, and things, I found myself in a cycle of pain and suffering well into my 50s. My life started to change when I turned my attention within and allowed intuitive wisdom to guide my next steps. It was then that I finally began to feel the transformative energy of self-love.”  BASEBALL GLORY AND FINDING FULFILLMENT IN HELPING OTHERS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL: “My understanding of success has been defined by my love for baseball and helping others. Despite facing setbacks and disappointment at not becoming a professional player, I found a new in purpose coaching a senior League baseball team. After hearing that a travel team was on the verge of being cut because of funding, I donated my own money and offered to coach the team myself. I successfully recruited young players from diverse backgrounds, provided valuable life lessons to a new generation, and led them to three consecutive championships. Reflecting on this transformative journey, I emphasize the importance of purpose in achieving success and finding fulfillment in helping others reach their full potential.” SHORT BIO: Chris Terzakos is an entrepreneur, self-healing coach, and the author of three books; Hernia Without Surgery, Natural Testosterone After 60 and Belonging to Yourself.  He has been an active athlete for most of his life. Chris’ passion for health and fitness started early in life. From adolescence into adulthood, he faced many ongoing ups and downs and adversities, he often wondered why it had to be this way. After losing loved ones and several relationships, Chris finally realized that he needed a shift that would change the relationship he had with himself. Chris shares these experiences in his book: Belonging To Yourself. Today, he dedicates his life to self-healing and self-growth by connecting to his own natural wisdom, being open to learning, and connecting genuinely with others with the intention of improving their lives.  Chris was born and raised in New York City and spent over 40 years in leadership roles helping and mentoring people in the business world associated with unions and organizing their members. He has worked on several high-profile projects building airport terminals and the largest casino in the United States.

The Most Inspiring Journey of Healing and Resilience as an Immigrant
Manpreet Johal-Bernie is the founder of Heart's Happiness. She was born and raised in London by her wonderful immigrant parents and comes from a South Asian Indian background. As the third generation of her family living in the United Kingdom, her heritage is significant to her story. Her family immigrated to the UK from India in the 1960s, and each generation—her grandparents, parents, and Manpreet herself—has experienced different types of trauma while living in very different worlds. Despite living her life based on the programming and tools provided by her family, Manpreet struggled. She faced challenges in relationships, battled depression, and had low self-esteem. Her family had dealt with similar struggles and had turned to addictions, codependency, and even suicide to cope with their pain. Determined to break this cycle, Manpreet embarked on a journey to heal her intergenerational trauma and learn a new way of living, one that she defined for herself. She has transformed in many areas and has found her own heart's happiness. Manpreet is here to help those who also want to begin healing but don't know where to start, feel overwhelmed, or are unsure of what kind of help they need. Her services and podcast are designed to kickstart people's healing, something she wishes her family members had done years ago when their struggles became too much to bear. Deciding to do something different from what you have seen in your own family is the beginning of a transformational journey you will never regret taking. Manpreet is here to help you and hold your hand through this process. Before pursuing her passion for helping others heal from intergenerational trauma, Manpreet worked in the corporate world for over 16 years, assisting large organizations with IT and business changes. Now, she helps individuals change their lives. Her work comes from her heart to yours, aiming to help you heal and live a happier, more conscious life, so you no longer feel the need to numb yourself just to get through each day. Her approach combines holistic life coaching and mentoring. She shares many tools she learned on her healing journey with her clients and incorporates her training in NLP (neurolinguistic programming to help change the mind), EFT (emotional freedom tapping technique to help the body release trauma), change management, and trauma-informed coaching.   ---- SOCIALS: https://www.instagram.com/hearts__happiness/ https://www.heartshappiness.co.uk/podcast

SakredShe Unveiled: Empowering Women with Sandy Sembler

SakredShe Unveiled: Empowering Women with Sandy Sembler
“When she awakens her heart, she will move mountains.” – Sandy Sembler, Embodied Results Coach Short Bio Sandy Sembler, recognized as the “Women’s Embodiment Expert,” created the transformative power of the SakredShe Method™ based on her own life’s journey. Her innovative approach illuminates the path for women and couples toward a more profound, vibrant, and authentic connection with themselves and others. It provides a brave space for addressing deep-seated roadblocks that have impeded the attainment of fulfilling relationships and lives. Sandy’s personal journey of harmonizing masculine and feminine energies intimately informs her teachings, making her both a relatable guide and a beacon of lived authenticity. More about Sandy At the heart of Sandy’s philosophy is the radical process of ‘re-wilding’ - a liberating return to the untamed wisdom of the body, the boundless joy of existence, and the insatiable curiosity of the spirit. It’s a journey into living life with grace, abundance, and sovereignty, liberated from societal constraints that often confine the feminine spirit. Sandy fervently believes that embracing emotions and body intelligence enriches our roles as partners, leaders, and mothers, aligning us with our genuine selves. This unique perspective, fortified by her extensive training and personal experiences, sets Sandy apart as she has discovered this path through her own trials and triumphs. A significant part of Sandy’s work revolves around educating on the profound influence of past trauma on relationships. She offers powerful tools to navigate trauma’s effects, driven by the conviction that our adversities can transform into empowering messages that uplift and inspire others. Sandy believes that the last 5% of our healing occurs in relationship – where we often receive our deepest wounds – and it is within these spaces that the greatest transformations occur. This is especially true in a sacred union where trust allows exploration and complete expression. Sandy’s coaching approach focuses on ‘embodiment’ - a deep mind-body connection that fosters lasting transformation. She recognizes three vital spheres of relating - to self, others, and the divine - melding them into a holistic experience of the “Art Of Creative Relationship”. This union, a dance of masculine and feminine energies, is central to her teaching and life practice. Through SakredShe, Sandy is creating more than a method; she is nurturing a global sisterhood - a haven where women and couples can evolve, express, and uncover their most authentic selves. She unapologetically invites you to delve into the depths of your heart’s desire and revolutionize your life through the harmonization of energies, embodied wisdom, and emotional enlightenment.

CARMELLE RILEY is a quantum energy, cosmology, meditation and self-hypnosis teacher who loves to teach people how to use their 70K daily thoughts and feelings, that combine with Universal energy, to expand BIG results, instead of the same old displeasing life experiences that most people accept.   Carmelle practiced as a commercial lawyer, specializing in collective tribal enterprise before retraining.  Repeatedly, hearing the impact of intergenerational trauma on tribe leaders, along with her own childhood experience of ancestral disconnection and family violence, ignited her desire to help people reshape their everyday consciousness to claim more well-being (hauora). Carmelle has taught, and hypnotized thousands of people, in their homes, their ancestral houses, wellness centers, workplaces, in gardens, the park, on top of mountains, at the beach, and all around the globe (online workshops).
