Andy‘s PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Alara Sage, known as The Oracle of Wealth™, helps conscious entrepreneurs transform their energetic blocks into breakthrough wealth by bridging ancient wisdom, quantum mechanics, and business strategy. Her journey from six-figure success to total loss and profound rebirth uniquely positions her to guide visionary leaders in creating unprecedented wealth alignment. As host of the Wealth Embodied podcast, Alara reveals how today's conscious leaders can harness their creative life force energy to build legacy enterprises that transform both business and humanity. Winner of the 29th Annual Award of Distinction In 2021, my entire world turned upside down—every dollar was stolen from me, stripping away not just my financial security but everything I thought I knew about success. This devastating moment, though, became my most profound teacher. It revealed a truth I now share with visionary leaders everywhere: true success isn't built on pushing harder or proving our worth but on who we are at our core. I discovered something transformative: when you transform your relationship with money and self-worth, everything changes. I not only recreated my financial success but did it with more ease and confidence than ever before. I am known for my ability to identify and clear invisible wealth barriers. My work is particularly powerful for changemakers and industry leaders who are ready to create unprecedented wealth alignment. @https://www.alarasage.com/ https://www.facebook.com/alarasage https://www.youtube.com/c/alarasage https://www.instagram.com/alarasage https://www.linkedin.com/in/alara-sage/#alarasage • #spiritualbusiness #intuitivebusiness • #spiritualceo #relationship #leadershiptraining

This is Desiree Taylor, a first-time author, speaker, and mentor. She is a wife and mother of two young adult men. Desiree is deaf with bilateral cochlear implants and is passionate about advocating for those with disabilities. She is here to discuss her new book, Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion. From a young age, my hearing began to go away progressively. Hearing loss has been a part of my story most of the way through. At age 18, I was a young, pregnant, single mom. I was married and continued building our family with another child. I grew up in a very legalistic church environment and have dealt with insecurity, severe low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and anger. I became a Christian and have gone through a journey of learning what it means to have a relationship with Jesus and breaking through the religious and legalistic barriers I wrote about in my new book, Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion which was recently launched. I would love the opportunity to share these experiences with others! I enjoy reading, writing, and hanging out with family and friends. I love spending time with the young adult ladies at our church. My heart is to mentor, disciple, and pass on the wisdom God has given me through life’s seasons. I am a woman of prayer, and I enjoy just sitting and listening to those who need someone. My primary ministry has been my home and as the boys have grown, the ministry has also grown.@https://www.pinterest.com/desrenewed/ https://www.instagram.com/desrenewed/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/desiree-taylor-536827199/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkfqCubrz7NWxGB_BlvzyPQ https://www.arenewedcreation.com/feed/ #arenewedcreation#desireetaylor#christianauthor#marriage #christianliving #arenewedcreation#desireetaylor#christianauthor#christianliving#faithjourney#spiritualgrowth#womenoffaith#inspiration#motivation

In truth, I’m just like you: no better, no worse Though, I may have started worse...After getting laid off from my first job, I never felt secure. So I decided to take the CPA (Certified Public Accountancy) exam. It was considered the most difficult certification exam then, with only a 15% first-time pass rate. Overwhelming to say the least! I decided it might be good to learn memory and learning techniques. Thought the time I put forth could save me much more in the long run. Sure enough...it did! I found tools like mind mapping and speed reading to be helpful. …and I passed the exam! This Got Me Thinking...Intelligence is overrated. I used to think either you had it or you didn’t...And if you didn’t, there was a level of success that was not possible. @https://instagram.com/ikamknight https://www.linkedIn.com/ikamknight https://www.youtube.com/@ikamknight https://www.kamknight.com #MasterYourMind#psychology #MysteryOfTheMind#audienceengagement #KamKnightWisdom#adoptivefamily #MindPowerUnleashed

Life CoachHollyKem and Dean Sunseri’s journey began over 35 years ago in the most unlikely of places. HollyKem was emerging from the streets, having battled drug addiction, while Dean was leaving the Catholic seminary, where he had been training to be a priest. On the surface, they couldn’t have been more different—the junkie and the priest—. Still, they shared a profound common ground: a deep desire to heal emotionally, grow psychologically, and connect spiritually. Both had a strong faith in Jesus, yet they realized that unresolved emotional and psychological wounds were hindering their spiritual growth. Through their unique journey, they developed a powerful process of inner healing and transformation—a process that would change their lives and countless others. Decades later, their combined wisdom and experiences have brought healing, recovery, and renewed purpose to thousands. Their book, A Roadmap to the Soul, offers practical guidance on this process, blending emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth to resonate with people seeking deeper meaning and connection. @https://www.ihaveavoice.com/ https://www.facebook.com/deanhollykem/ #EmotionalHealingJourney #InnerPeaceUnlocked#HealingWithDrDean#HollyKemSunseriHealing #OvercomeEmotionalWounds

As a Recovery Specialist, Youth Mentor, and Certified Life Coach, I’m passionate about empowering individuals to overcome adversity and reach their full potential. My journey from a former gang member and prison inmate to a dedicated change-maker has taught me the power of resilience, and I’m committed to sharing that with others. Through my work, I help individuals and communities break free from cycles of trauma, addiction, and limitation. Growing up and having relationship issues with my father and living in different neighborhoods, I was drawn to the streets and eventually became a gang member. But after a stint in prison, I hit rock bottom. It was there, in that darkest moment, that I discovered my resilience. I realized I had two choices: give up or use my experiences to make a difference. I began to mentor fellow inmates, sharing my story and encouraging them to seek a better path. Upon release, I dedicated myself to helping at-risk youth avoid the mistakes I made. I've seen countless individuals transform their lives through my work as a Youth Mentor, Certified Life Coach, and Recovery Specialist. My resilience comes from: Self-reflection: Understanding my past and how it shapes my present.#JoseVargasZapata#InspiringJourneys#MissionDriven#podcast #JoseZapataStory#podcast #PurposeAndPassion#MakingADifference#podcast #OvercomingChallenges#psychology#DrivenByPurpose#InspirationAndResilience#PersonalMission
