The Lupus Warrior: Amanda Chay
One time yoga instructor Amanda Chay a.k.a
the Lupus Warrior, author of new book The Girlfriend's Guide to Lupus: How to Control your Sh*tty Diagnosis (10/23), a self-help book for women who feel scared and alone with their lupus diagnosis.
About 1.5 million Americans have lupus, and there are
an estimated 16,000 new cases each year. More than five million people worldwide have some form of the disease and ninety percent (90%) of people living with lupus are women. When
asked about the most difficult aspects of coping with lupus, 65% said pain, 61% cited lifestyle changes, and 50% reported emotional problems.
Amanda’s long battle with lupus, which often drives
her bonkers, has fueled her passion for helping other women suffering from the disease. When she was diagnosed, searching for stories like hers was frustrating. She needed approachable, easy to understand information from trusted experts that she could actually use. Her family and friends didn’t know
exactly how to help or what to say. That’s why she’s written, in her own words, “the badass warrior lupus advocate book” The Girlfriend's Guide to Lupus. Written with a lighthearted and humorous approach to comprehensively describe the
realities of lupus, the book is a fantastic resource not only
for those diagnosed with lupus and looking for answers but also for those who care for them.

Success As A Firefighter In A Mostly Male Workplace: Cindie Schooner-Ball
A groundbreaking female firefighter, Cindie Schooner-Ball lived for the thrill of riding backwards on a fire truck, code 3 with lights flashing, sirens wailing, and horns blasting, heading towards that ominous cloud of black smoke. In her captivating memoir, she vividly describes these high-adrenaline experiences and the stunned look on onlookers' faces when she got off the truck, put on her hood, face mask, and helmet, and they
realized she was a woman. Hired in June 1987 by a large urban Fire-Rescue Department in South Florida, Cindie rose through the ranks as a firefighter, driver-engineer, paramedic and lieutenant while also earning a degree in fire science. She retired as a captain in 2015 after 28 years on the force.
Throughout her career, she had been asked so many questions about how she managed to excel while working in this male-dominated profession that she decided to write Sister in a Brotherhood to share her story. Cindie recognized early that in order to succeed as both a firefighter and a woman would require perseverance, grit, and the ability to command respect.
You will understand why firefighting is Cindie's calling and passion when you read this inspiring book. She shares memorable moments in working and living with other first responders who are dedicated to helping people in crisis. Cindie encourages anyone who wants to serve - especially women who have the desire to enter this noble profession - to pursue
their dream, as she did.
Cindie Schooner-Ball began her career as a first
responder with the fire service in the mid-80s. She recognized early on that to succeed as both a firefighter and a woman in a mostly male workplace would require perseverance, grit, and the ability to command respect. Over her three-decade career, she pushed herself to tackle new challenges and rise into
leadership positions.
She became an EMT and then a paramedic, while also earning a degree in fire science. When she finally achieved the rank of
captain, she was the only woman at the induction ceremony. Now retired, she loves speaking to people about her experiences as a first responder and as a woman in a male-dominated industry. She lives with her husband Mark, and her German shepherd, Chewie, in Florida. To learn more, visit

Fighting For Family: Julie and Chris Bennett
Chris Bennett is a pastor, storyteller, writer, and producer originally from Dallas, Texas. Julie Bennett is a writer, producer, speaker, and two-time cancer survivor from Edmond, Oklahoma. Together, Chris and Julie are the founders of Welcome Home Lifestyle, a production company which exists to create and promote content celebrating healthy, thriving families, friendships, and communities. Their love for people and entertainment led them and their four kids to uproot their lives and relocate from Oklahoma to Los Angeles in 2018. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she bravely battled over the next three years. Faced with a cancer diagnosis, relapse, and worldwide pandemic, Chris and Julie would come to redefine the ways in which they care for others, both as a nuclear family and as part of a broader community. Both Julie and Chris are graduates of Baylor University and have spent the majority of their 23 years of marriage working in vocational ministry. Through overwhelming challenges, they have learned how to fight for the things that matter and devote themselves to helping others do the same. Alongside their passion for building belonging for others, they love nothing more than beach football, spontaneous road trips, and throwing a good party. Chris and Julie are also co-hosts of the Becoming Family podcast and are in the process of developing a docs-series where they explore the power and diversity of family through the stories of those who have experienced it. The Bennetts currently reside in Malibu, CA where Chris serves as lead pastor of Vintage Church Malibu.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Fighting for Family: The Relentless Pursuit of Building Belonging
When Chris and Julie Bennett and their four kids decided to move from Norman, Oklahoma, to Los Angeles, they knew they were setting out on a great adventure. They’d be leaving behind the church Chris and Julie had pastored, the comfort of their community, and the familiarity of their daily routines, but the new city promised to bring some much-needed change. Most of all, they looked forward to connecting with others in one of the most disconnected cities in the United States. What they didn’t expect was how this adventure – complicated by a cancer diagnosis, a relapse, and a worldwide pandemic – would challenge their notions of what it means to care for each other well, both as a nuclear family and as part of a broader community. It turns out that becoming family is stressful, messy, exhausting – and absolutely, totally worth fighting for. In a time when so many suffer from loneliness and it feels like developing authentic relationships is impossible, Chris and Julie invite you to step into their story to discover the fundamentals that lead to healthy, thriving families and friendships. You’ll discover the power of embracing vulnerability, accepting imperfection, and extending forgiveness, while finding fulfillment through enforcing boundaries and honoring and serving others.
