Some of the positive results her clients have experienced include increased self-confidence and creativity, moving into flow and goal achievement, pain control, stress reduction, elimination of cravings, better sleep, trauma release, increased optimism and well-being, the falling away of bad habits, a more relaxed perception of time, connections to their spiritual guides, alignment with their true self, and insights into their near death experiences. Her customized programs combine golden words with hypnosis, health coaching, regressions, family constellations, and yoga techniques to facilitate lasting transformation.

Shanda Sumpter knows if you have ever dreamed of having a life of no worries—being able to pay your bills, buying a nice home, sending your kids to college, taking a great vacation, or having the freedom and money to make a difference for others . . . she is the business coach to show you how to make those dreams come true (and how it may be less complicated than you think). Over the course of her career, Shanda has built her multimillion-dollar coaching company, become a best-selling author, hosted the infomercial “Your Wealth Matters,” and helped thousands of her students break through the six-figure (and seven-figure) ceiling.  But there was a time when she had only $500 to her name and found herself sitting on her apartment floor in Las Vegas, completely broke, unable to pay for her apartment and car.  She took a chance and hired a mentor on credit. That risk was the catalyst for what became her own multimillion-dollar company, HeartCore Business.  Now . . . as mom of a new baby and fiancée to her guy, Ash, she is grateful that she built a company that allows her to live on her own terms.  Shanda is passionate about helping you live life on your own terms, too, with her step-by-step system to get your business launched and make money.

Her “Women and Their Sexuality in the New Film” published in 1974, was a landmark work in feminist studies. Larry McMurtry pronounced it “brilliant” in his “Washington Post” review. Her study of the image of women in film was followed by the companion study, “Big Bad Wolves: Masculinity in the American Cinema.” Her book about “The Battle of Algiers,” written in 1972, has been quoted widely in connection with the events of 9/11.

In 1972, she was awarded a prize by the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper organization in Japan. This led her to write five books about Japan, including “The Waves at Genji’s Door: Japan through Its Cinema,” 1976. Her 1981 novel, “Natural Tendencies,” is set in Japan. More recently, she has written two books about Japanese film for the British Film Institute, “Seven Samurai” (2002) and “In the Realm of the Senses” (2004).

She is also a biographer. Both “Kay Boyle: Author of Herself” (1994) and “Hellman and Hammett” (1996) were “New York Times” Notable Books of the year. “Hellman and Hammett” was also a finalist for the “Los Angeles Times” book prize.

She has written for a variety of publications such as the “New York Times,” the “Los Angeles Times,” and the “Philadelphia Inquirer, including the “Baltimore Sun” where she is a frequent contributor.

My favorite saying is, 'Find Your Bliss!' That's what I've been doing as I write my Ocean Depths series. It's fun, like reading one of my favorite novels as it unfolds before me. I want to entertain my intended audience and take them out of their world into the fantasy fiction one I've created. My hope for humanity is that we can find our bliss and be good to one another and our planet along the way no matter what belief systems we adhere too or what governments we live under. Is that simplistic? Yes, but often times the simpler an idea is, the easier it is to implement.

I enjoy nature, the ocean, my family/friends and animal friends and discovering new ideas. Educating myself in different disciplines is a joy of mine. Take the time to learn and become, the rewards are incredible! As human beings, let's start out on our chosen journey, work hard at it, and along the way we will find our bliss!
