When Amy was 28, doctors diagnosed me with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)–a degenerative eye-disease resulting in blindness. Later, she learned that diagnosis was part of an even rarer disorder called Usher Syndrome, the leading cause of deaf blindness. She was losing both. Always drawn to foreign cultures, Amy taught English as a Second Language (ESL). She also wrote avidly about my experiences in Latin America, the Far East and the Middle East. Amy never dreamed God was honing her skills and preparing her to educate others about vision loss when she could no longer teach in the classroom. Today Amy am an author, blogger, speaker, and continues to educate others through her books and talks in spite of her vision and hearing loss. She a Low Vision Motivator with High Expectations. While she features other cultures in her writing, Amy also focus on how God has taken her life on adventures of faith through her losses right here at home. Amy speaks about a bright future no matter how dark it physically becomes. Find her: https://amybovaird.com/ Recorded: 5/31/19

Corbie Mitleid has always been “the different one.” A writer and visionary in a completely medical family (father a doctor, mother a nurse, brother a doctor), she has always made her own path rather than take one cut for her by others. Leaving an Ivy League university after two years, Corbie struck out to find where joy and purpose lived, regardless of what she was told she “ought” to do. The path wasn’t easy. Two marriages, which didn’t last, and a constant search for the Partner Who Understood. A succession of jobs. A series of spiritual paths. Moving from Cambridge to Philadelphia to Poughkeepsie to New York City to Atlanta. Out of the blue, breast cancer—not once, but three times. Life became a roller coaster with no brakes, asking Corbie to survive divorce, abuse, poverty and life-threatening illness. But through all of this, she learned the value of the Examined Life: meeting challenges and always asking the next question, facing each new situation with strength, courage and humor. Today, Corbie brings a full toolbox to her job as a beacon of manifestation and vision for her clients. She knows what it is to create a career out of experiences. While she’s now a full-time intuitive counselor and inspirational speaker, her career has encompassed positions as a published author, a professional actress, a television producer, a radio personality, an executive recruiter and the “power behind the throne” for a number of high-profile CEOs. Corbie’s career now spans the globe, with clients worldwide. Her talents as an intuitive are featured in bestselling books. Still, her clients treasure her attitude of I’m not special, you can do what I do. “We have opportunities we can go after, and challenges to get past,” she says firmly. “My job is to give you the tools and courage to deal with both situations. Everything else is free will, and up to you!” Corbie lives in upstate New York with her husband Carle, a professional historian, and three large and exuberant Maine Coon cats.

Tara works with busy professional women who are exhausted and overwhelmed by family, marriage and commitments. She helps them bring back the intimacy in their relationship, create more personal time for fun, and teach them to communicate with their partner on a level they are heard and understood. After many incredible ups and downs with her partner, Tara realized it was up to her to create the marriage and relationship of her dreams. In overcoming all her own objections (aka finger-pointing, blaming, and avoidance), letting go of my beliefs of what I thought a marriage was suppose to be, and learning how to effectively speak and be heard by her husband, she rekindled the intimacy she thought was lost. Today they work diligently and mindfully to have a relationship in which we are both valued and loved for being the unique humans they are.

Fredena is a grandmother, mother and survivor. She experienced sexual violence and abuse from early childhood through her adult years.

It is her hope, my prayer, that her story of grace finds a home in the heart garden of those going through similar challenges. Recorded 5/12/19
