Shadow Politics Guest, Allison Galbraith July 08, 2018
Political Activist to represent the people of Maryland's first congressional district.

About Allison Galbraith:

Maryland Native. Single Mom. Small Business Owner. People First. DC is broken. Our government of the people isn’t working for the people. We can do better. We deserve better. Our representative's job is to listen to us, and to advocate on our behalf. Better government can start right here in MD's First District.  No more "out-of-touch" reps. No more special interests. No more excuses. Just common sense and common values.

Who is Allison Galbriath?

I am a native of Maryland’s First Congressional District, raised in historic Bel Air. Because of my professional experience, I know how the federal government works. I know where the problems are. Because of my educational experience, I know how to save the federal government money and make it run better. Because of my personal experience, I know what happens when it doesn’t work for us. I will fight to make the government work better, for all of us. 

I am a small business owner specializing in federal contracting and acquisition streamlining. I have extensive experience working in the day-to-day operation of the federal government. I’ve navigated the complex regulations and processes, developed new and tailored approaches for research and development programs, introduced process improvements, and helped programs to operate on reduced budgets and deliver products faster. 

I’ve worked with many different federal programs and portfolios—information systems, military medical products, multi-billion dollar rapid development programs, and more. These efforts spanned all stages of development, from basic research through advanced development and sustainment. I’ve served at multiple organizational levels, from the lowest of the unionized positions at the Aberdeen Test Center to the staff of one and two star General Officers and the Senior Executive Service. I’ve worked in many areas—Chemical and Biological Defense, Intelligence and Electronic Warfare, Defense Health, Veterans Benefits, and more. I’ve seen the challenges of running government programs first hand.

I help small businesses on the industry side as well, writing proposals to bid on state and federal contracts. My clients are primarily Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses bidding on Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services contracts. I know how complicated and burdensome it is to write and manage proposals and grants, how this makes it difficult to do business with the government, and how this deters companies from bidding, increases costs, and hinders innovation. 

I am also a daughter of two college professors, and a graduate of a public high school and university. I’m a working single mom. I was married to an Army Veteran for more than a decade. We are now amicably separated, living in the same school district, and working together to raise our son, Ben.

I depend on the essential benefits of the Affordable Care Act to obtain the private health insurance that allows me to own my business. I know what it was like to not be able to afford private insurance, and why the high risk pool didn’t work then and won’t work now. 

I have fought to obtain special education services and relied on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to obtain an Individual Education Plan for my stepson. I know the frustration of having to hire an advocate to obtain services that are plainly required. 

I understand the struggles of our Service-members, our veterans, and their families. I have raised kids alone, while working full time, because my spouse’s military training as a helicopter mechanic wasn’t recognized in commercial industry and he took work out of state because he couldn’t find local work in his field. I was the breadwinner while he used the GI Bill to complete his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. I was there when he exhausted it, and we could not afford for him to complete his degree without taking on student debt.

I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck, I’ve faced job uncertainty, I’ve been laid off. I’ve experienced sexual assault—I’ve also sued, and won. I’ve been treated differently in the office because I’m a woman, and know many suffer much worse every day. I’m a homeowner. I purchased my current home using an FHA-backed loan, and the previous one using a VA-backed loan. 

I’ve watched loved ones become addicted to painkillers, and lost friends to the opioid epidemic. I’ve been a part of caretaking decisions for my disabled mother, know how sickening it is to debate what is and is not covered by Medicare or insurance companies while making critical healthcare decisions, and participated in difficult end-of-life decisions. 

I know how government programs benefit us, how they could be made better, and how critical it is that the government work for us, not against us. I have the perspective of the people, the perspective that we need in Congress, and the skills to fight to make the government work for working families, rather than against us.

I’ve sang a variety of different genres from Motown’s finest, rock and roll’s legends, country classics, to today’s top charts, all packed with the soulful, smoky, vintage voice God blessed me with. I fell in love with the electricity and emotions in skillfully thought out lyrics intertwined with captivating rhythm and beats that speak to your soul.

​Being able to have the opportunity to play on several stages, work with a multitude of talented musicians and industry professionals, and the love for the music has really shaped who I am as an artist. Music is an incredible journey, singing is the vehicle I chose, and the road before me is ever reaching.”

Life Changes Show Guest, Denise Mange June 18, 2018
Animal communicator, pet intuitive, pet behavior specialist and obedience trainer

DENISE MANGE

After a decade working at some of the most prestigious advertising agencies in New York City, Denise left the glitz and glamor of Madison Avenue to pursue a true sense of fulfillment and soul’s purpose, which she found working with dogs. Upon certification through traditional dog obedience training programs, she realized there had to be more that could be done to honor the connection between pups and their humans.

Looking for ways to foster those deeper connections, Denise studied with some of the top animal communicators and intuitives in the field, and eventually developed a unique brand of mindful dog training to help pet parents forge a loving partnership with their pups through the lens of mind, body, and energetic connection.

Denise’s proprietary process Translating Beyond Behavior(SM) provides a roadmap to how your pet’s behaviors can give you specific insight into the healing that is ready to take place, including limiting beliefs to process and which chakras they affect. Denise’s integrative approach helps foster true partnerships and heart-centered connections that deepen the compassion and understanding of the lessons your animal companions are here to share with you, using methods such as chakra work, animal communication, and pet numerology in conjunction with the fundamentals of traditional obedience training. Think of it as self-help, for Pet’s sake!

Denise believes that energy connects us all, and whether in the context of traditional dog obedience training or communicating with your animal companion, energy matters. The most basic and primal way to communicate with each other, and especially with our pets, is energetically, but somewhere along the way it seems to have been forgotten as a basic building block of dog obedience training and living a more connected life with your animal companion. Denise is here to change that, and forge a new path forward in pet guardianship.
