Negative Emotions Help to Drive Cancer and Positive Emotions Promote Healing

Ginny Brant’s cancer diagnosis sent her on a quest to discover what caused a health nut to contract a deadly and aggressive form of breast cancer. What she found may surprise and inspire you.


Ginny Dent Brant is a speaker and writer who grew up in the halls of power of Washington D.C. She has served as a counselor, educator, wellness advocate, and adjunct professor. 

She served as a trustee of the Baptist International Mission Board for eight years, and she and her husband participated in mission work in Yemen, Gaza, the Czech Republic, Russia, China, and Romania.
In her interview, Ginny shares her cancer story and what you can do to prevent it and also how to heal after a diagnosis

Brant’s award-winning book, “Finding True Freedom: From the White House to the World,” was endorsed by the late Chuck Colson.



Whether you’re determined to prevent this deadly disease, survive it, or prevent its recurrence, this book pulls back the curtain on cancer and answers the question “What can I do to help my doctor beat this disease?” She challenges you to change what your doctor has no control over—your lifestyle and health habits. 

Brant connects the dots between nutrition, lifestyle, integrative and conventional medicine, and biblical wisdom to reveal how your body was created with self-healing mechanisms that work optimally when you do your part.

By implementing a few lifestyle changes, you can begin building your immune system while lowering your toxic load.  Learn how to unleash your own God-given healing.

Endorsements


Ginny reveals the true nature and importance of the interaction between the spiritual, psychological, and material aspects of dealing with a health crisis. I highly recommend

her book - Dr. Wallace Henley, author and Senior Associate Pastor, Second Baptist Church, Houston, TX “I was blessed to be part of Ginny’s care team. I affectionately referred to her as my Rock Star Patient because Ginny educated and empowered herself. The pearls in this book could benefit others greatly in their search for healing and vitality.” — Dr. Kenna Brooke, ND, founder of SoulSage.com "In 2010, my oncologist at MD Anderson and these eight steps turned around my stage 4 diagnosis. My oncologist believed my lifestyle changes complemented her efforts. This book

has inspired me to fine-tune my habits so I can make it another ten years and beyond with 'No Evidence of Disease'!" —Anne Buck, Stage 4 aggressive breast cancer survivor “Ginny helped lift my haze of confusion. With a biblical, integrative approach and well-documented research, her book provides a solid game plan for battling cancer and preventing recurrence.” — Jann Barclift, Cancer survivor

Did You Ever Have the Sudden Realization that We Only Get One Shot at This Life?

Dustin Rivenbark has dealt with addiction firsthand, seen the devastating effects of infidelity in a marriage, lost what he thought was his livelihood, lost a daughter to Potter syndrome, lost a mother to drug addiction, and dealt with ongoing health issues. All of this took the wind out of his sails, and he found himself broken, lost, and afraid. Rivenbark wanted to fight through the scars and the pain of life, but he needed a system that would give him a road map to freedom.



Did You Ever Have the Sudden Realization that We Only Get One Shot at This Life?


His powerful story of overcoming fear, adversity, and tragedy is one with a life-changing impact.

More than ever, our youth needs strong leaders to help them be the best version of themselves – no matter their circumstance, obstacles, or background. Dustin Rivenbark is taking his passion to motivate young people by using stories of inspiration in order to better prepare them for tomorrow.  

Did You Ever Have the Sudden Realization that We Only Get One Shot at This Life?


Dustin Rivenbark spent 10 ½ years climbing the ladder in the oilfield industry, having the bottom fall out of the market and starting over, only to have the hardest year of his life with the loss of his daughter, his mom (to a drug overdose) and his grandmother all in the same year.

In Courage and Redemption, he shares how the six key battle principles from the story of Joshua helped lay the groundwork for him to turn tragedy into triumph.

Through his personal story, he tells how the pains of the past don’t have to be crippling; he offers testimony that through all the trials and tragedy, he has witnessed God’s power in many ways. Courage and Redemption narrates that not only has Rivenbark dedicated his life to being the hands and feet of Christ but he’s also committed to motivating people to never settle with the status quo.

Be determined to succeed.

Be passionate. Believe in yourself.

Your Life is an Autobiography - Is it Worth Reading?

EVERYONE loves a story. Real-life stories, even more. Sam Thiara has mastered the art of storytelling and has also done two TEDx talks on the subject. In his interview, he will show us how to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Sam Thiara is a speaker, storyteller, writer, educator, mentor, coach, entrepreneur, problem solver, and community activator.

He developed CARE to show us how we can help others - especially during this pandemic.

There is a need for us to CARE 


CARE stands for Collaboration, Adaptability, Resilience and Empathy

  

 

Collaboration – we are not in this by ourselves – look around how you can support others and they can support you


Adaptability – we must be willing to change – we have all needed to change, how are you being adaptable to thrive and not only survive


Resilience – we are in a marathon and we need to build our stamina to get through the pandemic


Empathy – showing care and compassion to each other – we have no idea what people are going through so let’s be kind


You may want to listen to this interview TWICE - Sam has so much to share



Watch this 2-minute video on C.A.R.E.

Sameteaches at the Beedie School of Business and is Founder and Chief Motivating Officer at Ignite the Dream Coaching and Consulting. He engages individuals in personal and professional development.  He has worked with more than 45 non-profits and organizations on alignment. An expert in career coaching he has helped over 5,000 people ranging from 15 to 40 year-olds.

Your life is an Autobiography - Is it Worth Reading?

A search for the past. An identity reclaimed.

This moving memoir by speaker, educator, and entrepreneur Sam Thiara documents his seemingly impossible quest to find his grandfather’s village—armed with little more than a faded photograph.

Sam vividly recounts his adventure through India’s crowded roads—a journey filled with mishaps and surprising encounters, and a growing sense of purpose. 

Along the way, Sam also wrestles with his sense of self. A British-born Indian, living in Canada, whose parents came from Fiji, he questions: Am I Indian? Am I Canadian? Who am I?

As he begins to piece together the puzzle of his history, Sam realizes he is piecing himself together, too. Touching and inspiring, Lost and Found is a book for anyone who has felt adrift in the world, confirming that what was once lost can be found.

How Can Past Emotional Abuse Make You a Better Person

When J'Anemtra heard those words "If you leave me, I will hunt you down and I WILL kill you," she knew something had to change - to save her life and the lives of her children.

Were you born to be a REBEL?

J’Anemtra is a strong advocate for victims and survivors of domestic violence. At 40, she instantly understood that she had to start being who she was born to be; a leader, teacher, trainer, thought creator, a REBEL!

As a survivor of domestic violence, I encourage audiences to develop their own blueprint and help them to define their own daily mantra that will begin the process of Living Past Crazy! 

I am a strong advocate for victims and survivors of domestic violence and speak candidly about the issues of domestic violence and abuse with emphasis on empowering individuals to continue living- because there is life after abuse! 

J'Anmetra lives by the quote “Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” John Wooden 

J’Anmetra is an Amazon’s International Bestselling Author of Fearless Woman Born to Give Thanks and Transition to Freedom and four other amazing books. She has received the Author of the Year of Award for two consecutive years and has had the opportunity to share the screen with the late actor Tommy Ford in the movie The Last Time.   She is the founder of Be Fearless Inc, Waddell Consulting Services, and Bare Your Hair. She has an MBA in Healthcare Management and currently finishing her Ph.D. 


Being Fearless is the only way I want to live my life! -J'Anemtra Waddell

We spend our entire lives being what the world wants us to be - not who we were created to be. All of us were born to be great!

Never be sorry for your path in life! Never apologize for the leader, the writer, the singer, the dancer, the inventor IN you. It is OK for other people to be uncomfortable with who you are - it is not your responsibility for them to accept you!

Rebel or not, you don’t want to miss this interview with a fearless woman - J’Anemtra Waddell:





At 40 I instantly understood I had to quit being who I was and start being who I  was born to be. A leader, a teacher, a trainer, a thought creator, a  REBEL! ​​As the ONLY Live Past Crazy Specialist,  it is my philosophy and deep desire to help further those who are bound by the daily crazy of their life with a simple blueprint to begin to live past crazy. This Blueprint is designed to assist individuals in transforming their thinking from victim to survivor to overcomer – no matter how they define crazy! 





A painful past. Many of us have one. We each have something we don’t want EVERYONE to know – let alone share with the world! Well, brace yourself for this gripping, page-turning, and tell-all story. Within its pages, you will find author J’Anmetra Waddell’s unusual truth.

As a former First Lady of the church, read her horrifying story of physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of the man she loved: the pastor. Learn how she put on her “best face” for the world while struggling with trying to leave her abusive husband.

Family, friends, church members, and co-workers couldn’t help her escape. She had to do it alone. She had to be FEARLESS.




"Inside of you is a resolve to survive. It is so strong that it can overpower you and make the impossible possible. Just the same, you can crush your own resolve when you doubt yourself. Let the resolve lead you. Be patient with yourself. You are changing your mindset, and it is hard. The days will sometimes be hard. There is no way around putting in the work for YOUR transition."
~ J'Anmetra Waddell

Transition to Freedom is a continuation of Author J'Anmetra Waddell's unique abuse survivor story. In her #1 Best Selling book, Fearless Woman: Born to Give Thanks, J'Anmetra transparently told her complete truth: She was abused by the man she loved and married: the Pastor. Her riveting story continues as she tells of her breakthrough...moments that landed her in jail, had her running for her life, and so much more. Today, her TRANSITION TO FREEDOM is complete...or is it?

Have You Ever Known Someone Who was a Criminal Mastermind?

Have you ever known someone who was a criminal mastermind?

Crime was Mike Savage's second life, one that his wife and family knew nothing about until federal agents raided their home. 


Mike Savage

Federal authorities described Mike Savage as a criminal mastermind capable of bending people to his will. He was that and more. His criminal empire was the subject of a five-year federal investigation that culminated in his indictment on 101 criminal charges that ultimately put him in prison for fifteen years, two months, and twenty-eight days. 

Mike imagined he would lose everything in his life, including his beloved wife who had no idea Mike was a criminal.

This interview will keep you on the edge of your seat -- how did he survive? How did he get out of prison? How did his wife stay with him all those years? What happened in prison that changed his life forever? COMPELING interview:

Mike Savage is an adjunct college professor, former radio and television personality, and co-host of A Savage Perspective podcast. 

Click here to purchase

The feds called Mike Savage a criminal mastermind. The way Mike looked at it was "If I was a criminal mastermind, I wouldn't have been caught or in prison for 15 years."

A Prisoner's Perspective: The Redemption of a Criminal Mastermind chronicles how God, through the self-sacrificing love of his wife Cynthia, moved to save both of them and restore them as the husband and wife He wanted them to be. 

Mike's memoir demonstrates that even through violence, separation, poverty, cancer, and death, God's love still changes and restores those lost - even in the dark criminal underworld.
