With her daughter attending school online and the world in lockdown, Vicky turned to writing as a creative outlet to manage the stress of isolation.

What began as a personal project soon blossomed into a thrilling seven-book series, offering an imaginative escape for both Vicky and her future readers.

Cody Peterson is a recovering alcoholic/drug-addict with over eleven years clean and sober. He has been fascinated by spirituality and religion since adolescence, although he struggled to maintain a spiritual connection, spending many years trying to get clean and sober. Finally, after a six-month stint in prison and a period of homelessness in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cody sobered up for good in 2013. In addition to practicing the Twelve Steps, Cody has rekindled his love of academic literature regarding spirituality and religion, and in 2019 he was led to the writings of C.G. Jung. Resonating deeply with the seminal ideas espoused by the Swiss psychiatrist, Cody felt his own calling to start writing soon thereafter.

Zak Clayton, a man who knows firsthand the power of community and compassion, founded Clayton Consulting & Event Planning LLC (CCEP) out of a simple yet profound realization: everyone deserves a helping hand. His journey began on June 5th, 2015, when a motorcycle accident altered his path. Despite the unexpected detour, Zak found solace in the outpouring of support from friends, family, and local businesses during his recovery. Yet, amidst this wave of generosity, he noticed a gap in assistance for those constrained by financial limitations. When he went to apply for assistance he was denied because of the money he made in the previous year. This made healing even harder than it was before. Determined to fill this void, Zak embarked on a mission to create a program that would uplift individuals facing adversity after January 1st.

On September 11, 2001, a blind man escaped the World Trade Center by walking down 78 flights of stairs with his guide dog. Days later, America fell in love with Mike and Roselle and the special bond that helped them both survive one of the country’s darkest days. Immediately after the 9-11 tragedy, Michael was featured on the Larry King show five times.

Jill is boldly stepping out and vulnerably admitting that as a result of her own sexual trauma at age 4, she innocently and curiously experimented with other children when she was a child herself. For 41 years she lived with a dark cloud of shame and self-loathing over her head, thinking she was alone. Finally, after years of praying for her purpose, she finally realized her life’s work is to release people from shame and change the lens through which people see how children who have been sexually abused experiment with other children. Jill brings this taboo topic to the light so that people can get beyond the shame and live the life of their dreams. Whether or not you have suffered from sexual abuse or if you have a secret, Jill’s approach to letting go of any kind of shame will leave you free to create a space for love, success, and abundance.

I had a life that everyone else would agree looked pretty perfect. I was married, had 2 kids, a dog, a house and a professional career. It’s just nobody really knew what happened behind closed doors. I have always been what people would call “overly emotional”. I used to get in trouble for it at school and at home. I learned my emotions weren’t welcome, and I learned how to shove them down. So I got to work on “fixing” myself. I started with drinking to try and cover up who I was. So I was a lot of fun in my 20’s. Until I wasn’t because you don’t tend to be “less” emotional when you are wasted. In my 30’s I turned to the medical profession for help. I was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression, prescribed SSRI’s with a handful of therapy sessions and lived like a zombie for an entire year. But when I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, I knew that things were as bad as they could possibly get. I had uncontrollable anger and I didn’t know what to do. I tried a…

In 2000, I earned an Honours Degree in Business Studies, ventured into corporate human resources and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management. However, over a decade, the combination of stress and a lack of career fulfilment was exacerbated by the challenges of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), secondary infertility, multiple miscarriages, and heartbreaking loss and grief. After my recovery, seven months later, I emigrated to Australia, where I embarked on a heart-centred life and business and welcomed two beautiful daughters into the world. Residing by the sea and embracing my spiritual path became instrumental in guiding me back to my true self, aligning with my purpose, and fostering a passion for supporting other women in co-creating their futures. ​My creative inspiration for writing and speaking on podcasts and at global events is frequently sparked amidst the ambiance of beachside cafes on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Today I enjoy precious m…

I grew up in a family with its feet in the past and its head in the future. My grandmothers were taught rudimentary reading and writing at home, but my father and uncles were university graduates and part of Iran's emerging technocratic elite. I've come a very long way even from that: whereas one of my great grandfathers had 25 wives and concubines, I have a PhD from MIT. I am curious: fascinated as much by technology as by the human experience. I started writing for Iranian magazines and journals (including the prestigious weekly Ferdousi) at the age of 14. As a journalist, I became acutely aware of the chasm developing between the traditionalists living in south Tehran and the modernists living in North Tehran. My grandparents lived in South Tehran. I lived with my family in North Tehran. I knew both sides.
