My world was spiraling out of control...
I hit rock bottom the day I found myself at an intersection waiting for a bus. Rather than board, I intended to step in front of it and end all the stress and misery in my life. “Everybody will be better off,” I told myself. Only a faint glimmer of hope kept me on the curb that day.
Then I met Brad. Psychologist-turned life coach, his patient mentoring guided me in unlocking one of life’s greatest paradoxical truths: The Gift in the Wound.
My world changed forever.

ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
​
​
Professionally, I'm an author, mentor, business executive and entrepreneur. But at heart, I'm a human being making my way through the healing journey like everyone else on the planet. I'm passionate about better understanding that journey's purpose, and discovering secrets and shortcuts that make it rich and meaningful.
​
I've been fortunate to learn from great coaches and mentors, and some very deep wounds along the way. My goal is to utilize my gifts for clear, engaging narrative, speaking and intuitive mentoring to provide the means for many individuals to be blessed as I have in moving forward along the journey to wholeness.
Inspiration for this book is drawn from my multi-year journey from deep depression and near-suicide to wholeness and joy, and highlights my firm belief in the power of the mentor-mentee relationship at all levels.

The Gift in the Wound
Our Greatest Gifts, Hiding in Plain Sight
While finding gifts in wounds sounds straightforward, our greatest gifts of wisdom, insight, confidence, courage, compassion – to name just a few – are not merely hiding in our deepest wounds. They are locked up in plain sight. And we refuse to use the key. In fact, we believe it to be the enemy.
Come share the journey of discovering five keys to unlock your most valuable personal gifts. The process is initially painful and highly counter-intuitive – which is why so few people discover it. But those willing to fully engage build lives of wholeness, success and joy.
