From our Soapbox!

In these stressful times, we are going to need more than financial help to get thru this recession. Join me tomorrow in welcoming a guest who promises to soothe our souls! As a lifestyle coach, motivational speaker and on-camera personality, Kimberlie Dykeman has made a successful career by uplifting and entertaining others. Her passionate approach to helping people find their purpose has expanded her SOAPBOX® brand with a new book, Pure Soapbox, which blends well-known quotes with well-honed commentary to deliver a cleansing jolt of inspiration. In addition to hosting a weekly inspirational email called “The Monday Soapbox Edition,” which reinforces lifestyle changes in her clientele of business executives and renowned leaders through wisdom-charged quotes from famous figures, Kimberlie also hosts several health segments on local news programs, including Workout Wednesdays on KTBC-TV, a FOX affiliate, and Healthvue for KVUE-TV, an ABC affiliate, as well as writing articles on topics such as stress, work-life balance and overall wellness for local lifestyle magazines. Moved to share the Soapbox brand’s success with charitable causes, Kimberlie recently became a Grassroots Fundraiser for Lance Armstrong Foundation, which receives a portion of the book proceeds.
