Ep. 31 From Cancer to Cure: A Journey of Self-Healing
In this episode, my guest Linda Lang, Master Healer, Transformational Guide and Mentor, shares her journey of reliance, faith and the life purpose she found by choosing to find her own cure for an aggressive and rare form of cancer she was diagnosed with at just age twenty-two.
It was the early 80's. Linda was newly married and had just had a baby. The only medical option was to amputate her leg or risk certain death. Neither option that she wanted. This compelled Linda to go on a journey that would ultimately transform her life from cancer to cure through the power she held within. Listen to her story.

Ep. 29 Would You Know If Your Teen Was Being Bullied?
Do you have a child that is being bullied? Would you even know? Are you an educator or other community support person working with teens in trouble?
This is a frank conversation with my guest and bereaved mom, Betty Wedman, who lost her teen son to suicide in 2008 as a result of bullying. For many years, Betty was a speaker in schools and earned the trust of countless teens, talking to her about what it was like to be bullied.
Now as a Certified Life Coach with training in Cognitive Behaviour and Suicide Prevention, Betty shares her insights into the working minds of teens and what they are struggling with related to bullying and mental health. She also offers tips on what we all can do as a community to better support teens in their mental health struggles and develop life skills for long-term success!

Ep. 26 Coaching Lesson 9: Ambition: More Means More
Having struggled for years after the suicide of my daughter to rebuild my life without adequate resources to guide me through tough bereavement, I ultimately created an online course and a unique grief coaching program to help anyone struggling in grief or with anything else to recover and rebuild their life in a gentle, yet effective practice.
These Podcast coaching episodes are designed to introduce you to some of the key components to help you start to improve your life immediately and are based entirely on my lived experience since 2005 and professional experience as a healing practitioner.
In this episode from Lesson 9 of the Get Me Started! online course in the Beyond Bereavement series, learn all about ambition and whether you need it to succeed at anything in life, and what you can do if you can't feel any ambition today.
