M. Shawn Petersen began to tell stories almost as soon as he could talk, but it took him years of traveling the world to find his story. When he is not writing, he loves to travel, create new stories, and passionately pursue personal development. Stella and the Timekeepers, Petersen's first novel, originally came to him in a dream, but it wasn't until he committed it to paper during National Novel Writing Month that this epic story sprouted wings and took flight.

In this episode he shares his story of being stranded in Mexico while Hurricane Ike was destroying his hometown Galveston (and his investments) and how his journey of becoming intentional with his goal allowed him to be of service to his vision through action and awareness and he shares how his goals and dreams are unfolding before his eyes and how his book has made its way to world class publishers and Hollywood producers.

If you have an audacious goal, this is the episode for you! Mick shares what he does daily, and how those daily actions lead to serendipitous events that keep turning up as he kept moving towards his vision.

Despite concern and greater awareness about domestic violence, it’s still happening, and with only 16% of women who experience violence contacting an agency such as a shelter, crisis centre or hotline, counsellor or women’s centre for help, we may never really know the how wide spread the issue is.
 
In this extraordinary episode I speak with Anita Bentata, an escapee of domestic violence. Anita’s story has been documented in her book “The Wolf in a Suit”.
 
During this episode Anita shares incredible insights from the children’s fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” and it’s easy to see the parallels of the fairy tale with her own journey, Anita is Little Red Riding Hood, standing at the edge of the woods, being caught by The Wolf (only  he’s wearing a suit), and finally escaping with her two little girls.
 
This episode is one of hope, courage and full of insights as Anita shares how we can all access far more than we know, and how when faced with mixed messages from a partner we end up confused, leading to inaction, possibly the reason why some women stay much longer than they should. Anita has turned her experiences into a mission to help women, she went on to study Human Behavior and became a psychotherapist and counsellor. Anita now helps women to develop their emotional muscle to speak about the unknown and the uncomfortable, she is well versed in all the unspoken myths about love, stress and relationships.
