Could Your Struggles be Your Access to Wisdom and a Better Life?

Lori Pappas plodded with a slow, heavy pace against resistance in her youth. Her parents had her committed when she was 16 years old because they could not control her. She was rebellious, and her mother, a religious fanatic, was convinced she was possessed by the devil. While there, she heard rumors that she was scheduled for shock treatments. She devised a plan and escaped - armed with only her smarts and determination. Lori made the difficult decision to become the architect of her life without emotional support or a safety net.

She married the first man who loved her but gave up trying to navigate his paranoia when her career took off. Divorced, she started a business before falling into another unsatisfying relationship. She was like two different people for years. Her career defined her and was applauded professionally (award-winning and nationally acclaimed.) Homelife, however, was a different story, complicated and exhausting. She juggled being a mother of three, a wife, and a businesswoman for a long time.

Lori sold her company for millions of dollars at the height of the tech market and tried to retire at 49.  But the “American Dream life” bored her. At 57, Lori traded in her cushy life to start a non-profit to help Indigenous people gain a chance to live a healthy life. She moved to Ethiopia to build and implement initiatives for 100,000 extremely marginalized people in South Omo Valley (the corner of Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Kenya).

In her 60s, she met the love of her life online. She now has the time and mind-space to share the insights of her inner wise woman.

You will love her story, and she will inspire you to live your life as you were destined to be.

When did you last choose yourself without feeling guilty?

Can't remember? You're not alone.

Most of us spend our lives helping others while our own dreams collect dust. I did it too—even after breaking out of a mental institution at seventeen, building a multi-million-dollar tech company, and transforming 100,000 lives in Africa.

I was still helping others while ignoring my needs to feel loved, connected, and at peace.

That's when I created the D.R.E.A.M. method to save myself—and wrote The Magic of Yes to share it.

This isn't just another self-help book. It's your practical guide to breaking free from what you can't even see.

Inside, you'll get concrete tools to:

• Set boundaries that actually stick—without the guilt
• Stop people-pleasing—and start trusting your own voice
• Forgive yourself and others—so you can finally move forward
• Navigate major life transitions—empty nest, career changes, relationship shifts
• Access your inner wisdom—through proven D.R.E.A.M. prompts at the end of every chapter

Each chapter blends real stories (mine and other women's), research-backed insights, and customizable exercises you can adapt to YOUR specific challenges.

Whether you're drowning in "supposed-tos," exhausted from putting everyone first, or simply ready to reclaim your voice—this book meets you exactly where you are.

When you walk into a room.....you change the temperature

Too many of us are living like actors.

Actors work within someone else’s purpose.

A good actor follows the direction of the director, and the director works to bring the movie to reality for the producer.

Becoming the best actor is good, but you are capable of so much more than that. You were born to be more than an actor: you were made to produce.

Randy Adkins Jr. shares from his life experience of trusting and growing in God in Produce on Purpose. In this book, you’ll learn:

• What does it mean to be a producer in your everyday life
• How to be connected in your body, soul, and spirit
• How to receive and obey God’s vision for your life
• Why you need to think with your heart and not your head
• The value found in seasons of transition
• How to live a life of overflow that glorifies God

You’ll also find helpful workbook sections after each chapter that provide questions and action steps to help you grow to the next level in your life with God.

It’s time for you to start producing on purpose and experience a life full of joy, peace, fulfillment, and fruitfulness, to the glory of God.
