Speaker Topic - Discover Your Path In 2001, Heather and JP met during their first semester at USC. JP asked Heather for her phone number their first week in mandatory athletic study hall, and that exchange sparked the beginning of a priceless friendship. They talked about their struggles with the coaches and their dreams of success. It was clear that they were both driven and competitive, but felt misunderstood by the athletic department at USC. They were thankful that their souls crossed paths at this trying time in their lives. Both felt in their intuition, even at 18, that it was meant to be. They wanted to build a long lasting path and family together for better and for worse. By tackling problems as a team, Heather and JP proved that they could count on each other in good times and in bad. They know the foundation they have built over the years will serve them positively forever. It was through these stories of hardship and triumph that Heather conceived Discover Your Path.

When a regularly scheduled speaker couldn't be with us, Julie Vick, from our live chat room, decided to call in and share her incredible story of her health transformation!  She's lost over 70 pounds and changed her life in many ways. Thank you to Julie for being so brave and sharing your journey with us! From Gary: Julie reached out back in November, after our Toronto Retreat on Self-Worth, and proclaimed she was worthy, willing, ready, and able to face or uncover whatever needed to be faced & uncovered and to courageously take a look at the relationship she was having, or not having with herself in order to rediscover and reconnect with her true-self. She realized she had to let go of the Self that others desired her to live, or that she was living because she was scared to feel her feelings. So we've been working together once a week since then, with deeper conversations about fear, her blocks, her family tree, her wounds, her work, her health, with additional support work with her doctors, the energy and health lab, along with a custom training schedule, eating plan, health prescriptions, supplementation, and the all-important customized deep learning plan of self-love and self-care.  In essence, Julie began to re-discover her true essence through a practice of love and nourishment - emotionally, physically, and spiritually. A practice of acceptance, forgiveness, and a loving relationship with herself - which means living life from "who she really is" versus "who she is not" - her Adult-Self versus her wounded Child-Self. Thank you Julie!
