Hi! Welcome to my About Me page.
​
Welcome to my website! As a retired investigator with years of experience in problem-solving and strategizing, I now dedicate life to helping others as a life coach. My journey took a significant turn in 1999 when I faced a personal challenge that reshaped perspective on life. This experience ignited my passion for empowering those who have faced similar struggles, guiding them towards confidence and healing.
 
I'm proud to share that story gained recognition on local news and was featured on the Life Time TV Network, narrated by Erin Brockovich in her series, Final Justice. It has been an incredible honor to share my journey through various radio stations nationwide. Additionally, my presentation, "The Wake-Up Call - It's an Experience, Not a Speech," allows me to connect deeply with audiences, inspiring them to embrace their own transformations. Click here to learn more about my story.
 
I continued my journey by co-hosting the Crime Time Live radio show, where I connected with individuals seeking to break free from toxic relationships and find their path forward. My commitment doesn't end with helping clients escape physically and emotionally; I work closely with them to rebuild their confidence and empower them to take control of their emotions. We create a supportive environment that fosters growth and healing, enabling you to remain emotionally healthy.
 
Currently, I serve as a dedicated Life Coach, providing my services to those in need. I also instruct classes at community colleges and community centers, sharing my knowledge and experience with others and offering tidbits on the strategies to background checks using public record. Additionally, offer private and confidential sessions tailored to individual needs.

​
I immersed myself in understanding human behavior and improving my ability to predict it. During my healing process, I redirected my education to study in areas such as psychopathy, body language, and deception detection earning certifications.

Acceptance and forgiveness helped me overcome my anger. Casting my grievances into the ocean (literally) allowed me to unload the emotional baggage to move on with my life. My journey has taught me resilience and the importance of trust. I have learned how to live with PTSD and control the emotions that triggers can cause.

Lessons to live by -Don't believe everything you hear! Consider the source and trust your instincts. Those who confide in you about others will confide in them about you. Give as good as you expect to receive! Don't assume you know what someone is thinking or feeling because it's probably not what you think. Don't be afraid to communicate because your words are important. Never assume it's your fault, or that someone is upset with you because you'll know if they are. Always have compassion for people because you don't know what they are going through. A smile doesn't always mean happiness. Own your behavior and your mistakes because you took the action to cause them, and don't lie because there's no point. Be true to who you are and don't let others control your behavior or your environment. Those who have insecurities will bring you down if you let them. Remember, misery loves company so don't accept the unspoken invitation. Don't give people power over how you think and feel, always think for yourself while others think for themselves. If you accept or take part in someone else's negative behavior, you are guilty by association and are their equal. Make the most of your time, don't let other people waste it. One sure thing you can control is how you feel about yourself so be your authentic self, always.  Everybody has a story, problems, and challenges because life's about growing, learning, and overcoming.  Cheryl D.
