Ejaz Khan is a wildlife photographer offering rare, fine art, focusing on the beauty of animals and environmental changes they face, capturing endangered wildlife and horses around the world. Khan borrows from narrative techniques of film/fashion storytelling and transposes them onto his animal subjects. His keen eye for motion allows him to break apart the seemingly untamable patterns of animal movement and capture striking moments, encapsulating the energy and magic of their behavior.

Khan says, ”Once we stay mindful of the environment, we can slow the process of global warming. We photograph animals in one of the most harsh environments to show the beauty of unseen places and habitats. It’s my responsibility to unveil that beauty to inspire everyone to take action. As a fashion photographer, I pay models to work with me. As a wildlife photographer, I don’t pay for my subjects, so I want to give back to the organizations that can help the animals I photograph.”

Brooke Barousse is passionate about helping families.  For the past 12 years, she has placed hundreds of Nannies and household staff members with families throughout southern California.  She’s affectionately been called "The Nanny Matchmaker" and the "Nanny Whisperer" because of her ability to communicate a family’s needs to household support staff and is equally skilled in helping Nannies communicate their needs appropriately with their employers.  

Barousse says, “I have an instinct for reading people which has resulted in a high success rate for what is essentially personality matchmaking for my clients and their newly hired household staff.  I can see where skills and energies mesh—and where they don’t.  We educate our nannies and other household staff members to set them up as consummate professionals and our one-month guarantee ensures that we have happy clients.”

She understands the unique relationship families have with those who work inside their home.  Not only is a household staffing position one of the most trusted jobs a person can have, but it is one that has the potential to be the glue that keeps things running smoothly, efficiently and happily—both in raising joyful, supported children and in keeping a clean, well-run household.

Being based in Los Angeles comes with its own rare set of talents that are required of her nannies, which are trained to handle situations that only a celebrity client might require, such as handling the paparazzi.

Her previous experience at a Household staffing agency, a boutique corporate staffing office, as well as the proud owner of a non-toxic cleaning service, have given her the insight and background to problem solve and be a resource for clients, and truly understand the requirements of caring for the most precious things in their lives—their children and their homes.

A self-proclaimed information sponge, Barousse also has a personal affinity for trivia and has appeared on a number of game shows over the years, including “Family Feud,” “Press Your Luck” and “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader."

Why are so many people experiencing burnout, anxiety and depression, despite society’s technological and scientific advances? There are solutions for the seemingly insoluble problems.

Today's world is as unsettled and uncertain as it has been in our lifetime.  Even historically predictable life tasks like how and where we go to work lack definitive answers.  With the benefit of extensive leadership education and real-life experience, combined with over thirteen years of commercial real estate-focused in the office sector, I became intrigued and invested in the future of work.  What I discovered is that for these centers of business to thrive the community of workers must thrive.  However, as I became more and more invested in these external communities, as I approached the midpoint of life, I was concerned this effort was starting to come at the expense of my community of my family.  In 2019, I left my role as COO, to regroup, and focus on the future of work while also being fully invested in my wife and two daughters.  I authored The Legacy Business as a rallying cry for myself, but also as a way to encourage the countless others I encountered contemplating the same things.  I would be honored to dialog about the concepts and themes encapsulated in this book.

Mike was born and raised in Southern Oregon with his parents and younger brother.  From there, he spent four years at West Point.  During the subsequent five years of service as an officer in the U.S. Army, he worked in Finance with assignments in Ft. Hood, Kosovo, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.  After the Army, Mike went back to school, earning his MBA at Yale University's School of Management.   He went on to work for a commercial real estate firm, eventually serving as COO.  He left that firm and began his own company, Workng, which focused on strategizing about and operating work environments of the future.  Mike most recently published a personal and reflective book, The Legacy Business, where he discusses a variety of topics he considers critical to his future success as a husband, dad, friend, and leader.  Mike lives in Houston, Texas, with his wife Stacey and two teenage daughters.

Clarity Cafe, the new sip-sized self-improvement podcast is a safe haven to relax and pour yourself a little break from reality with hosts Cali and Barb. This popular podcast is an evolution of friendship after the duo began holding their own ‘Clarity Cafe’ each week during quarantine. Their weekly zoom dates over a cup of tea helped them work through mixed emotions, and as word spread and more friends joined, it morphed into one big clarity family.

Host Cali, who has had a wild life including early childhood trauma, ADHD, and healing from chronic illness, is the creator of the Chill Mindset Movement and the founder of an exciting new guided visualization app called Limitless Healing. Co-host Barb is the CEO of a renowned regenerative and functional medicine practice called BioReset Medical and survivor and thriver as a double kidney/pancreas transplant recipient with a passion for yoga and a doctorate in Medical Qigong.  

The pair can comment on the following hot topics:

How to change the narrative on ‘self-help’ from heavy, boring, and super serious to light, fresh and airy

How to navigate internal changes post-COVID and not fall back into old patterns and self-destructive behaviors

Things life doesn't teach you about friendships, happiness, health, and more

Never being too old to change your mindset for the better

As a safe, judgment-free space, the podcast provides an approach to challenging life issues in a fun way that gives a little sip of clarity and a fresh perspective. The podcast is shared every Wednesday and topics include:

Why self-care isn’t selfish

Finding an accountability buddy

Decluttering your headspace

Healing from emotional baggage

Learn to handle unreasonable requests

Cali says, “Once ‘The Great Pause’ commenced, I knew it was time for my sabbatical to be over. It was time to show up to help humanity. We must change to survive as a species. To find our answers, each of us needs to re-train our mindset, learn how to go within, find our wisdom and begin to operate from this deep truth. Together, our Clarity Cafe Family is our little self-empowerment community for change.”

Barb continues, “It's about wanting to give people a little piece of themselves back each week. To know there is a relatable space without recourse. To empower people to work through feelings like self-doubt and loneliness, and then come out the other side knowing how to change that into something positive. Clarity Cafe is our ‘time-out’ bubble, a break from daily demands, to get some perspective.”

Meet Barb, she’s a bonafide badass warrior woman with a giant heart of gold. Legit, Barb is one of the most brave, resilient humans you will ever meet, and despite dealing head on with all life has thrown at her (and boy… has she had to fight to survive some sh*t), she’s always done it with grace, humility and a sweet smile on her face.

It’s no doubt that Barb’s journey through self discovery and her empathetic desire to share her knowledge and experiences to help others is what has made her the person she is today. That is ultimately why Barb co-founded the one-of-a-kind BioReset Medical, so she could use her own experiences to find better ways to help heal people. Never one to sit in the status quo of life, Barb and the BioReset team use some of the most cutting edge integrative medical techniques and solutions to naturally heal people from the inside out. This is some crazy advanced shenanigans and nothing short of phenomenal to witness first hand.

Aside from Barb’s kick ass day job, you won’t be surprised to find out that she is also fascinated with eastern health and wellness philosophies. This journey toward curious self evolution began at an early age. Raised in Kentucky and diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic as a child, Barbara was fascinated by all types of health and wellness teachings that would help contribute to a more positive quality of life. Immersing herself in all that she could from the very best teachers around the world, Barb in turn became a teacher herself in the process. To this day, Barb is officially one part master yoga teacher + another part teacher & Doctor of Medical Qigong.

Yet it was never Barb’s style to sit in one place too long. As a multiple organ transplant survivor, what motivates Barb was always helping others find their might, no matter the odds. So after gaining her degree in Chinese Language and Literature, a Global MBA followed suit. Armed with this litany of experience, she soon after took to the mammoth that is Silicon Valley to shape some of the largest tech companies’ policies on people, culture and communications before moving on to co-found her own company. Always people first, profits second. Now, aside from biohacking on the regular, Barb is taking to podcasting to reach fellow souls outside her day to day, marrying east and west healing philosophies to inspire the same health and happiness in others that she aspires to create for herself and the people closest to her. Tune into Clarity Cafe and get inspired by this warrior woman yourself, not to mention bask in a lil lovin sunshine from her old sweet soul.

Inspiring others to journey towards joy and centering *New Book* Faith to Rise

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OPP

Interview Opp: The power of journaling to aspire to joy and centering

NEW BOOK “FAITH TO RISE”

Journaling is among the most beneficial kinds of writing and studies have found that this form of expressive writing is especially therapeutic. In a world that’s offering daily curveballs, the need to re-center and find joy in the everyday can seem daunting… that’s where journaling can be an outlet.

Faith to Rise: A Journey to Joy and Centering is Julie Fitz-Gerald’s latest book with 52 weekly devotionals that are honest, relatable, and will inspire readers to embrace life. A journaling diary accompanies the book with writing prompts and discussion points inviting readers to dig deeper.

Julie Fitz-Gerald is a journalist, author, and speaker living in small-town Ontario, Canada with her husband and two teenage sons. Working in both faith-based and secular spheres, Julie is passionate about shining a light on stories of hope and inspiration, showing Jesus’s great love for us in the process.

Ms. Fitz-Gerald is available for interviews and can comment on the following:

#FunFact:  1 in 6 people are active journalers (Trisent)

Julie Fitz-Gerald has a passion for sharing real stories of hope and inspiration. With a journalism degree from Ryerson University, she's spent the past decade writing stories about change-makers and overcomers for various national and international publications and news outlets.

She is author of the best-selling book RISE: The Jessica Phoenix Story, a page-turning sports biography that’s inspiring people of all ages to overcome life’s challenges using determination, perseverance and courage. The success of RISE spawned a national motivational speaking tour, spreading the universal message of overcoming obstacles to schools, corporations and special interest groups.

Julie's latest book, Faith to Rise: A Journey to Joy and Centering, started out as a weekly radio and YouTube series. It now reaches people across platforms throughout Canada and the US with inspirational messages of encouragement through all of life's seasons.

Whether the medium is a book, a magazine article, radio, socials, or a stage, Julie is driven to share how ordinary people are breaking boundaries, beating the odds and achieving the extraordinary. Working in both faith-based and secular spheres, she loves to shine a light on stories of hope and inspiration; two things our world desperately needs.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in TN and CA. I believe every human being deserves to be seen and live in a way that brings about peace, self-love, and a positive self-image. This can be difficult when immersed in rigid cultural systems, exposed to trauma, and dealing with intense emotional pain. Extrinsic influences about gender, ethnicity, nationality, physical and mental capabilities, sexuality (and much more) can leave so many people questioning their own existence. In the face of this, daily living itself can feel like a challenge and leave a person feeling isolated and alone. My hope is to provide you with the support we all deserve in order to live as fully as possible. Knowing your worth is the backbone of living a healthy, authentic, and fulfilling life. I strive to support you in integrating all aspects of your identity in a way that is in alignment with your personal values so that you can explore what brings you joy, define what success means to you, and create an all encompassing definition for health.

My interest in the therapeutic arts began at age 14 in 1997, when I volunteered to spend time with elderly clients in an assisted living facility (Manor Care Nursing in San Jose, CA), providing residents company every Saturday throughout the entirety of high school. While obtaining my undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science at University of California San Diego, I volunteered at Ronald McDonald House for Children offering comfort and support to families with terminally ill children. In 2012, while I was working as a Research Associate at Kaiser Permanente (Santa Clara, CA), I volunteered as an advocate with the YWCA SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) and decided that my true calling was as a therapist. From there, I began my journey through graduate school, followed with experience as a MFT Trainee at Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments and Associate MFT at Family and Children Services.

Upon my move to Nashville, TN in 2019, I participated in Yoga Teacher Training (from 2019 to 2020) at Sanctuary for Yoga. I incorporate this knowledge, when applicable, into my therapeutic practice by engaging clients in the natural calming of their nervous systems (self-regulation) using breathing techniques, mindfulness practices, and intentional movement.

I now work for Nashville Center for Trauma and Psychotherapy. 

What if we told you there was a way to heal your body, without surgery? Here at South Florida's ONLY adult stem cell bank center, we use regenerative medicine to heal the body from pain-related injuries, trauma, age, lifestyle, surgeries, and disease. Through our non-invasive outpatient procedures, we will provide you with quick, effective, and long-lasting pain relief by treating the source of the pain with no side effects. The treatments we do are Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments, Lipaspirate Injection, Bone Marrow Aspirate Injection, and Shockwave Therapy. 

We need to realize that the body is able to heal itself, and surgery is not the only option.  Living with pain can be excruciating, and you can miss out on a lot. Let the Neomedicine Institute give you a pain-free life again, with minimal invasion.
