Peggy Collins, Help is Not a
Four-Letter Word:
Why Doing It All is Doing You
In
If you have ever
been jealous of the woman who has it all-- the
career, the family, the perfectly manicured
garden, the PTA presidency, and always seems to
be available to help you with the carpool--you
know that self-sufficiency is desirable. Some of
the most highly praised people in our society
are the ones we look up to for the amazing
balancing acts they perform every day. However,
expert Peggy Collins has coined a new term she
calls Self-Sufficiency Syndrome. In her new
book, Help is Not a Four-Letter Word: Why Doing
It All is Doing You In, Collins delves into the
concept of burn out. |

Lauren Powers, The Trouble with Thinking
Fortune 500 consultant Powers brings
together the latest in emotion and brain
research, shedding new light on that most common
of human activities: misinterpretation. Powers
illustrates how our brains give new meaning to
the word “autopilot,” or, in Powers’ irreverent
words, “Rat Brain.” She points out how our
automatic thinking, usually negative, skews our
interactions with the world. Intertwining her
scientific research with a look at personal
gaffes and corporate mistakes, Powers
investigates our unconscious thoughts and how
they get us into trouble––often in the form of
misunderstandings, self-doubt, and irritating
relationships.

Judith Barr, Power Abused, Power Healed
You don’t have to look far to find examples of
power abuse in our society and most people
accept the misuse and abuse of power under the
guise of many things… leadership, caring,
discipline, teaching or something that can’t be
changed. From the politician accused of sending
sexual emails to a page, to the priests accused
of molesting children in their care; how people
sometimes use power and the complacent societal
attitude can make it dangerous. Judith Barr,
author of Power Abused, Power Healed, uses a
fresh approach to educate and inform about power
abuse. Unlike other books on the topic, Power
Abused, Power Healed addresses both victims of
power abuse and those who misuse and abuse their
power.

About
Cat RunningElk:
Author of Mystic Mommy
Since Cat RunningElk was a young girl, she
always paid close attention to her dreams.
During sleep or deep meditation, Cat transcended the
physical world moving to a time and place of significant
meaning. But she was always told to ignore these dreams,
that they were nothing more than her vivid imagination.
She realized her vivid dreams were a gift; if she could
interpret the meaning of these “mystic messages” then
she could foretell future events and better understand
her purpose in life.
When Cat became a mother of two daughters she lost
herself among the competing demands of motherhood.
Every ounce of energy and attention was focused on the
children, but Cat felt there was another role aside from
wife and mother that she hadn’t filled. Everything
changed one night after a powerful dream in which Cat’s
spiritual guide told her to listen to her inner voice.
She realized her vivid dreams were a gift; if she could
interpret the meaning of these “mystic messages” then
she could foretell future events and better understand
her purpose in life.
As a result of this life-changing experience, Cat
authored a book,
Mystic Mommy: Knowing Who You Are, Why You’re Here and
What You’re Going to Do About It,
in which she tells how she to embraced her spiritual
gifts to embark on a journey into wholeness. She
poetically relives her dreams in hopes to guide other
women to find their inner voice among the chaos and
demands of motherhood.
Since embracing her spiritual gifts, Cat has become
a spiritual healer, motivational speaker and
professional intuitive. She has more than 10 years
experience as a spiritual healer and is a certified
Reiki Master. She has worked with terminally ill
patients in hospice settings and was the resident Reiki
practitioner for an AIDS facility in Seattle, WA.
Over the years Cat’s inspirational themes of healing
and personal enrichment have thrilled audiences
nationwide. In lectures, workshops, and in private
practice she successfully guides individuals to
recognize their inner gifts and identify their true
callings.
Cat also operates a life-coaching
program specifically designed for each client. She uses
her intuitive gifts as a guide to bring a new
perspective into the lives of others, whether they need
help discovering their purpose, answering their
callings, or understanding a past life. Cat travels the
U.S. leading workshops on Understanding Past Lives,
Intuitive Living and Answering Your Callings. For more
