During those times of fear, trauma and drama, and extreme uncertainly about their daughter’s health and safety, Becky was often tempted to curl up in a ball and rock forever–but she refused to let the eating disorder win. How does a parent live through the terror of watching her child being consumed like that? Becky learned how to take care of herself so she could take care of her daughter and rest of the family.

For several years she has conducted workshops for parents and professionals, giving them language to promote health. She learned to take the most terrifying experience and use it to rise above her circumstances and live her life with passion, and now coaches family members how to live fearlessly with this scary and demanding illness that is an eating disorder.

Instead, I found out that the Rock in my path represented not an obstacle but an opportunity to encounter the living God in surprising, sometimes astonishing ways.” Join us for Carol's empowering testimony; learn how, in the midst of unthinkable obstacles, Carol discovered these obstacles were actually opportunities of "divine surprises!"

You've decided. You're committed. You're ready. And yet, something always seems to sabotage your journey. What role does our belief system play in our well-being? Are there false-truths that bind you? Do fear and shame confound your determination? Darlene Ouimet understands: After struggling her entire life with dissociated identity disorder, chronic depression, and the after effects of child sexual abuse, Darlene finally found the help that she needed and began to emerge from a lifetime of brokenness. Her journey to wholeness has been both difficult and exciting, instilling in her an extreme passion for helping others live in freedom without the shackles of fear and shame. She contributes a distinct understanding of how we come to accept false truth as children and how we can expose those lies to discover the real truth. In doing so, we can discover who we really are. She lives her own message to the full. Living, really living, isn’t just getting from one day to the next and coping with those issues. Living is fully embracing life and participating in it as an individual, not being defined by the past or by other people but embracing the truth that every person on earth has equal value. Having come from the depths of despair to being thrilled at the prospect of a new day, her story proclaims an amazing message of hope. Darlene is a mental health advocate, certified professional coach and inspirational speaker. Her blog, Emerging from Broken is about the process of healing, learning to face fear and walk forward in truth, great mental health and joy. Darlene is happily married (to the same man she used to be unhappily married to) and lives in the wide open spaces of Southern Alberta Canada with her husband, their three teenage children (and cows, pets and horses). http://www.emergingfrombroken.com 01:01:00Diane VnoEmerging From Broken,Allison Bottke,Setting Boundaries,SANITY,FreedomDo you find yourself struggling to make positive change only to discover your actions betray your desire?

Jamie has survived breast cancer twice and works tirelessly to support people who have been affected by the disease by encouraging, educating, and equipping with a uniquely personal touch. She founded Stay In The Pink in order to reach more people and to advance the cause of prevention and early detection. How does surviving breast cancer relate to our struggle of loving an adult child whose life is out of control? Tune in to discover the transforming life lessons Jamie has discovered as she moved beyond the shock of an unexpected turn in the road to the empowering hope she now offers others who have been affected by this disease. Breast cancer hits women at the core of what it means to be attractive, feminine, and womanly. It may or may not change their looks, but it often changes the way they look at themselves. The painful challenge can be embraced as an opportunity to define self-worth based on attributes that are lasting.

Cole Bitting is a graduate of Yale University. He is a national expert on posttraumatic growth. For more information and a collection of his writing, see his website - Fable - http://www.goodfables.com Connie Jones is a graduate of Duke University and Maryville University. She is a national expert in trauma and has more than two decades of clinical experience. Traditional positive psychology looks past the biggest challenges to well-being: the sensations of being stuck, withdrawn or uncertain and the frustrations of feeling limited. These challenges are often caused by unresolved, and often unrecognized, past trauma. Connie and Cole have used their expertise and insight into the trauma experience to detail a program to resolve these distressing feelings, to find a sense of peak effectiveness, and to strengthen the client's capacity to work through future challenges to well-being. 01:00:00Diane VnoTraditional positive pyschology,challenges,Guilt,Setting Boundaries,Adult ChildrenThe N in the 6 Steps to SANITY is "Nip excuses in the Bud."
