Message from Coach Tonya

Sadly, the last days of summer have drifted away.  This week has been a busy one for me and my family.  Ben, Logan, and I all start school this week and I am still spending time on the job search.  In addition Thursday I am doing 3 LIVE shows - two Journey to Self shows and Mom’s Coffee Break show at its new day and time (Thursdays at 8pm cst).

It has started to cool down here in Wisconsin and fall is in the air.  With such a busy summer I still can not believe that it is gone, but I am looking forward to the new adventures that all of us are undertaking.  This week two of my shows are very focused on getting through the back to school stress (Thursday @ 12pm cst on http://blogtalkradio.com/journeytoself) and Organizing Your life (Thursday @ 8pm cst on http://blogtalkradio.com/momscoffeebreak) I invite you to join me, my guest and Mom’s Coffee Break co-host because these are important topics for all working parents.

Personally, I am working on doing both and can’t wait to share some of the tips that I have learned along the way to be less stressed and more organized!

Whether we want it or not here comes fall and everything wonderful that it is bringing with it.

Wishing you and your families the best!

Coach Tonya Ramsey

Double the Journey to Self this week

This week there are TWO Journey to Self shows!

At JTS regular time 12pm cst / 1pm est author and speaker Elisabeth Fayt.

Elisabeth is an international speaker, owner of RnR Wellness, and bestselling author of the new book Paving it Forward. One of the featured speakers in the movie The Opus, Elisabeth is both a prominent abundance expert and a successful business woman.

Elisabeth formerly worked side by side with Canadian billionaire Ron Joyce. Through this work, Elisabeth spent time with top business leaders from around the world. She paid close attention and learned how to think abundantly and run a business successfully. Her own business, RnR Wellness has certainly been a success. The popular urban spa in Calgary also services high end hotels throughout Canada, with plans to expand into the US and overseas in the near future.

Elisabeth is an abundance coach and does workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements. These events, as well as her new bestselling book, Paving it Forward, focus on what Elisabeth calls pre-paving. This concept gives her students the tools they need to create a life of health, wealth, and love.

Elisabeth is also a Reiki master and has spent nearly two decades studying with the masters of India. It is her capacity to bridge the worlds of spirituality and business that has made her so incredibly successful.

Born in Waterloo, Ontario, Elisabeth currently lives in Calgary with her three children.

Join me Thursday September 3rd as Elisabeth and I talk about her book, Paving it Forward as well as ways for parents to combat the back to school stress!

Listen live at 10am pst / 11am mnt / 12pm cst / 1pm est on Blog Talk Radio ~ http://blogtalkradio.com/journeytoself.

JTS Special Evening show at 6:30pm cst / 7:30pm est with Anna Dee Olson.

Being raised by Midwestern Amish parents Anna Dee Olson grew up understanding that life is meant to be difficult with very few days of pleasure. The rigid restrictions of her culture became harder to follow as Anna reached her teen years and the desires in her heart were leading her away from her family, community, and culture. She knew by following her desires the huge challenges she would encounter. For four years Anna struggled with what to do but at the age of 24 she finally made her first life changing decision based on what she wanted to do.

Anna was forced to choose between her family and the lifestyle she dreamed of living. Even though adapting to the new way of life (outside the sheltered box the Amish live) was a challenge, she kept her focus on her dream of peace at heart and serving others. After many trials and obstacles to overcome and

learning from her mistakes Anna understands that her past did not define who she is but prepared her to become the strong woman that she is today.  In less than a year after leaving the Amish lifestyle behind Anna passed the test to get her High School Equivalence diploma. In the fall of 1993 Anna’s dream of going to college became a reality and she graduated with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in 2005.

During the past 16 years Anna was involved in Student Senate, Relay for Life, Madhatters Drama club, Women of Today organization, and Toastmasters International.  Today Anna’s motto is: “True forgiveness is a choice we all have.” Anna is a successful published Author and Public Speaker. She strongly believes in helping people through volunteering, sharing her experiences to help and inspire others,
and to help the world understand the secretive life of the Amish culture.

Join me Thursday September 3rd as Anna and I talk about her new book as well as her life growing up Amish.
