More often than not, on the road to enlightenment or self-discovery or hell... just trying to be a decent human being we are met with those whom think our sh*t don't stink. Or feel offended by the way we choose to now live our life (or at least try to). Granted, some of this may simply because that person is not ready to do the work and make the change like we are, but other times it is our own ignorance in how to effectively convey our meaning, our true self, and our honest intent.  Meet Amy E. Smith. She spent years finding her voice. Burried under other people's thoughts and opinions and notions about who she should and shouldn't be. Amy spent years as a damn-near SLAVE (drama intended) to highly restrictive religious dogma that constantly reminded her why she wasn't enough. She was motivated by two primary things: Guilt and fear. Fear of losing salvation. Fear of not fitting in. Fear of rocking the boat. Fear of speaking her truth and losing relationships. Guilt around following her intuition when it was in stark contrast to all the religious "rights" and "wrongs".  So, Amy began uncovering who she REALLY was. Taking her opinions out for a spin. She searched out people and places where tapping into "ME" was applauded (aka. A shit-ton of coaching classes, trainings, and seminars). Where "right" and "wrong" always looked different. Amy started to develop her OWN sense of self. What she stood for. What she believed. And after a handful of breakdowns, she found her voice. And as it turns out it was there all along. Amy feels VERY strongly about being educated in the field of coaching, so she has a coaching certification (CPCC designation) through The Coaches Training Institute, a well-known pioneer educational establishment in the field of coaching. (aka. NOT just a weekend, online class saying "Wheeeeee, you're a coach now!"). Additionally, Amy is credentialed with the International Coaching Federation (ACC designation), which is currently the only governing body that oversees the coaching profession. Fancy, right? It is.

Welcome to a very special mini-series on the podcast with my graduate school, American University! I graduated from AU in 2017 with my MS in Health Promotion Management after completing my BS in Exercise Science from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013. Health Promotion is the science and art of helping people, organizations, and communities change lifestyle behaviors to move toward a state of improved health resulting in decreases in chronic disease and health care costs. To accomplish this objective, we must learn the science of health through the study of nutrition, biology, anatomy and physiology, and psychology combined with program planning for health promotion by learning how to assess, implement, and evaluate programs that effectively achieve the outcome of improved health. Health promotion helps answer problems around: Establishing and managing wellness programs for employees and their families Developing effective media campaigns for emerging health issues Helping clients achieve fitness and nutrition goals Researching health policy and establishing state and national programs Integrating health promotion and disease management activities into the healthcare system Instituting innovative community-outreach programs Advocating for health issues and promoting wellness in communities

How do we measure success these days? What constitutes a "good life"? At Ever Forward, we believe that it is all about the IMPACT you make and so does today's guest Lisa Bilyeu. She is the co-founder of Quest Nutrition and president of Impact Theory with her husband Tom Bilyeu. Lisa is living proof that Darwin was right when he said "it is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but rather the most adaptive to change." She began her professional career in film, moved briefly into administration, and then, as a founding team member at Quest Nutrition, she took on logistics - building the company's fulfillment department from scratch and helping facilitate the company's rise to #2 on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing private companies. She then returned to media helping build the company's revolutionary in-house media team, producing content that has been viewed over 100,000,000 times. As co-founder of Impact Theory, she's looking to combine her highly developed skills as a creative producer with her drive to help people build things that matter. Her latest passion in life is "Women of Impact" - a unique platform that will share the impact that other amazing women are having on her and the world around us.

After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and having three boys at home, Heather Chauvin quickly rose to the occasion and chose to build the life she wanted. Facing death was a revelation, to say the least. It forced her to ask, "Why am I fighting so hard to live when I don't even know how to live?" Life had to mean more than just barely surviving, living paycheck to paycheck, and believing existence meant taking up space.  Heather Chauvin, BSW has been named the next generation's thought leader in parenting and women's leadership. Her mission is to crack women open to their deep potential and help them create the life their soul craves. Heather hosts the Mom Is In Control Podcast, and has been featured on the OWN network, Huffington Post, TV outlets and others. With wit and wisdom, Heather inspires a global community of women to take back control of their lives and evolve how they lead, work, play, and parent. Heather and I talk about: Being a parent at age eighteen Battling stage 4 cancer while being a mom of four and wife Her time as a social worker, seeing first hand how hurt people hurt people Teaching other parents how to heal their children, their family, their world by first healing themselves Learning how to be a good parent before having children My own experience with PTSD around my father's terminal illness (ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease) And more!
