Melanie Johnson Takes Role as National Director of Second Saturday® Divorce Workshops


Melanie Johnson, Second Saturday National Director

Melanie Johnson, Second Saturday National Director

I’ve seen firsthand how valuable Second Saturday is in educating and empowering people going through the stressful, painful, and confusing process of divorce.

Second Saturday Divorce Workshops announced that Director of Education and longtime workshop leader Melanie Johnson is stepping into the new role of National Director. The Second Saturday organization provides non-profit educational and community-focused divorce workshops across the United States.

In her new role, Johnson will be responsible for recruiting and mentoring new workshop leaders and working with the newly established Insight and Development Committee to guide the organization into the future. She will take a leading role in growing Second Saturday and adapting to changing trends, such as offering both in-person and online divorce workshops.

Johnson steps into the role just in time for the divorce “high season,” which typically runs immediately after the holidays from January through March. Of course, in reality, divorce season is year-round, though divorce filings do tend to peak in March and August.

Johnson has been an active part of the Second Saturday organization since 2006 when she established her workshop in Austin, which she continues to run each month. Eventually, she took on the role of Director of Education, where she helped develop workshop materials and train new workshop leaders to succeed in their local communities.

“Melanie has been an incredible asset to our organization,” said Ginita Wall, co-founder of Second Saturday. “She deeply understands our mission and what it takes for our workshops to succeed. No one is better qualified to lead Second Saturday into the future.”

Johnson is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and the founder of Divorce Financial Solutions, where she offers clients professional guidance on making informed and educated decisions during the divorce process. She has been an investment advisor since 2004 and currently works as an advisor at Beck Capital Management in Austin. Through her work with Second Saturday, Johnson has helped thousands of men and women understand the legal, financial, and psychological issues associated with divorce.

“I am truly honored to take on a bigger leadership role in Second Saturday,” said Johnson. “Through my workshop, I’ve seen firsthand how valuable Second Saturday is in educating and empowering people going through the stressful, painful, and confusing process of divorce. I can’t wait to keep growing Second Saturday so that we can help even more people make the best decisions for themselves and their marriages.”

Founded in 1989 by Candace Bahr and Ginita Wall, Second Saturday Divorce Workshops offer legal, financial, and emotional information about the divorce process. The organization recruits attorneys, financial professionals, therapists, and real estate professionals across the country to host workshops in their areas. Currently, workshops are available in nearly 30 states with plans to continue growing. For more information about the organization, visit http://www.secondsaturday.com.

Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change by Tom C.W. Lin


“Engrossing book…. A well-researched, absorbing, and balanced case for corporate-activist partnerships.” —Kirkus Reviews

The Capitalist and the Activist offers an engaging and thoughtful look at the new reality of corporate social activism—its driving forces, promises and perils, and implications for our businesses and personal lives. Weaving deep research and fascinating stories that span business, entertainment, history, science, and politics, Tom Lin provides an insightful road map for how society arrived here and a practical compass for moving forward.

Drawing together examples from the civil rights movement, campaign finance litigation, gun regulation, Black Lives Matter, the Confederate flag controversy, the Trump presidency, and other historical events, Lin brilliantly reveals and charts the course for a changing society of capitalists and activists seeking both profit and progress.

Tom C. W. Lin is an award-winning law professor at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. He is also an academic fellow at George Washington University’s Center for Law, Economics & Finance. He is an expert in business organizations, corporate governance, and financial regulation. His scholarship has been published in many leading academic law journals. His expertise has been featured in major media outlets like Bloomberg News, CNN, Fortune, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.

Endorsements:

“There simply couldn’t be a more timely and instructive treatment of the melding of the traditions of corporate capitalism with the spirit of social activism. Employing compelling narratives and arguments, Lin ushers us into a stunning recognition of the implications of this vitally important fusion for our political future.”

—Robert Cialdini, New York Times bestselling author of Influence and Pre-Suasion

“Filled with insight. The Capitalist and the Activist is essential reading for anyone trying to understand and navigate this era of profound change in business and society. Through well-crafted narratives and thought-provoking analysis, Tom Lin reveals the larger forces influencing the decisions of executives, politicians, and citizens.”

—Jonah Berger, New York Times bestselling author of Contagious and The Catalyst

“Should corporations use their power to influence politics? Should warriors for racial, gender, and environmental justice treat corporations as foes or instead as sources of effective strategies? Have corporations become a vital check and balance given out-of-control or paralyzed politicians? With vivid stories and sensible analysis, Tom Lin traces the emergence of new border crossings between American money-making and social change–making enterprises. Offering a striking perspective on our times, this book provides wise principles to navigate the shifting borders of public, private, politics, and profits.”

—Martha Minow, former Dean, Harvard Law School, and author of Partners, Not Rivals

New Book by Brooke Ellison Looks at Life with Disability from Different Angles… and Asks Us to Do the Same


Look Both Ways by Brooke Ellison - cover art

Look Both Ways is available for purchase on Amazon.com

Brooke has learned what can be accomplished when fear makes room for hope, how a positive attitude can reframe a struggle into an opportunity to move forward, and how limitations can inspire creativity.

Nearly two decades since her film-adapted autobiography, Miracles Happen, Brooke Ellison, PhD has released Look Both Ways, a uniquely honest confessional that imparts lessons she has learned from living more than three decades with quadriplegia. In Look Both Ways, Ellison offers a more mature, more contemplative look at life after the accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down at age eleven. Using personal and, at times, emotionally challenging events in her life as a platform, Ellison compels readers to reflect upon experiences in their own lives and thrive as a result of them.

“Brooke has learned what can be accomplished when fear makes room for hope, how a positive attitude can reframe a struggle into an opportunity to move forward, and how limitations can inspire creativity.” – Rick Hansen, Founder, Rick Hansen Foundation, former Paralympian (gold medalist)

“The real lesson of her compelling story is to remind us that people with disabilities need to be defined not by what part of them is physically broken, but as full and complete human beings.” – Susan Solomon, President and CEO of the New York Stem Cell Foundation

Look Both Ways is available for purchase on Amazon.com.

Author and Mental Health Counselor Pens Groundbreaking Therapeutic Autobiography to Teach Readers Psychological Concepts and Techniques for Everyday Use


News Image

I wrote my autobiography using the skill of self-disclosure embedded with psychological concepts…

Robert D. Brehm, M.A., has released his therapeutic autobiography, “The Story Has a Secret: A Sequel,” to illustrate the value and importance of self-awareness and introspection in living a fulfilling life. Brehm, who has practiced in many disciplines, draws from personal vignettes to demonstrate how shortcomings in one’s cognitive processes can shape their relationship to self, others and the world around them.

Part fascinating memoir, part transformative psychological guide, “The Story Has a Secret” offers a deep-dive into his Brehm’s past experiences spanning childhood to the outbreak of COVID-19. In analyzing his memories through a different lens, Brehm identifies common errors in thinking, including cognitive dissonance, attribution errors and self-fulfilling prophecies. He also employs psychodramatic techniques like the empty chair exercise to provide readers with therapeutic tools they can use to critically examine and make sense of their own memories.

Central to “The Story Has a Secret” is the philosophy that every story has a secret, and in applying the book’s concepts to their own histories, readers can discover what those secrets are. Ultimately, Brehm empowers readers to reach deeper levels of self-awareness and self-understanding by engaging in their own life review process while also using old memories to facilitate deeper relationships and strengthen family bonds.

“My therapeutic autobiography is unique in that I use my own life as an example,” wrote Brehm in the book’s preface. “I wrote my autobiography using the skill of self-disclosure embedded with psychological concepts. Each story has a secret that magically brought me self-awareness.”

Filled with insightful case scenarios and illustrations, “The Story Has a Secret” is a powerful tool for any reader looking to fully know themself and improve their quality of life.

“The Story Has a Secret: A Sequel”

By Robert D. Brehm, M.A.

ISBN: 9781665703291 (softcover); 9781665703314 (hardcover); 9781665703307 (electronic)

Fig Factor Media Captures Inspiration through New WordPOWER Book Series; 12 authors illustrate how specific words shape lives via anecdotes, sayings and stories


News Image

“This series is the vehicle to share these stories of accomplished people from all walks of life who have been touched by a single word that has added to their definition of who they are and what they do.”

The Naperville, Illinois-based Fig Factor Media Publishing is proud to present a new and inspiring book series that captures the positive and emotional power of 12 significant words. The new series called WordPOWER brings together 12 authors and 12 powerful words that affect their lives.

Fig Factor Media CEO Jacqueline Ruiz explained that each of the series’ books compiles short anecdotes, personal messages, quotes and unique thoughts that represent each word.

“I know that every one of us has a story that is waiting to be shared and embraced by others,” Ruiz said. “This series is the vehicle to share these stories of accomplished people from all walks of life who have been touched by a single word that has added to their definition of who they are and what they do. Our goal at Fig Factor Media is to elevate people through their stories and WordPOWER does just that. I know that it will resonate with readers.”

The 12 participating authors are:

· Carolina M. Veira, author of “Shining”

· Erin Minckley, author of “Creativity”

· Gabriela Hernández Franch, author of “Smile”

· Kylie Knur, author of “Resilience”

· Lisa Yunker Welz, author of “Family”

· Maria Castro, author of “Kindness”

· Marie Lazzara, author of “Perseverance”

· Perla Tamez, author of “Fearless”

· Ricardo Trinidad, author of “Healing”

· Ron and Sue Rescigno, authors of “Change”

· Tamika Lecheé Morales, author of “Inclusion”

· Yaneth Medina, author of “Authenticity”

Several writers such as Knur, a JJR Marketing mission manager, are excited to be first-time authors.

“I’m so excited to share how I see the word ‘resilience’ in my life through my very first book,” she said. “I have always thought about writing a book but never thought it would be something that I accomplish so quickly. I thank Jackie Ruiz for inviting these 12 authors, which include some of our team members, to be part of this inspirational series. I can’t wait to see where this will take us.”

The Rescignos, owners of Rescigno’s Fundraising Professionals in Bridgeview, Illinois, share their personal thoughts about their word: change.

“We chose the word ‘change’ because we believe everyone experiences change in their lives and how we deal with this affects our future,” Sue Rescigno explained. “We wanted to open people’s hearts to change. For us, this special word has guided our lives, both personally and professionally, for many years. Because we were able to adapt to change, we have become more successful than we ever imagined!”

Castro, regional external affairs manager at Comcast in Chicago and an author with Fig Factor Media’s “Today’s Inspired Latina” book series chose the word “ kindness” because of its special meaning.

“I love the word and all it represents,” she said. “Kindness is free and if we all shared it daily the world would be a better place. The word resonates with me because I truly believe that acts of kindness can cure anything and everything that ails us—a broken heart, loneliness, illness, hatred, biases, and so much more. A dose of kindness a day costs us nothing but a few minutes of our time. And the return on that investment, priceless.”

Each book is priced at $16.97. Additionally, there is a limited edition collectors’ box—10 available— which contains all 12 books for $150. All can be purchased on the WordPOWER website.

Adventures in Wisdom Answers U.S. Surgeon General’s Call to Support Youth Mental Health


Life Coaches for Kids Use Stories to Helps Kids Build Resilience and Coping Skills

Life Coaches for Kids Use Coaching Stories and Activities to Help Kids Ages 6 – 12 Build Resilience and Coping Skills

We can’t give our children resilience, self-esteem, or confidence; however, we can help them develop it in themselves.

In a rare Surgeon General’s Advisory report, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy warned that, “the challenges today’s generation of young people face are unprecedented…. And the effect these challenges have had on their mental health is devastating.” In the report, he also states that “in many cases they are treatable, and often preventable…and provides actionable recommendations.” Life coaching for kids is part of the mental health continuum for children that many people are not aware of, and certified coaches from Adventures in Wisdom have been helping children navigate the pandemic by teaching mindset skills for managing change, fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and more, as demonstrated in a recent panel discussion where life coaches shared how they have been supporting kids.

“Life coaching for kids is a critical part of the mental health continuum for our children by focusing on prevention – helping children develop resilience and coping skills, confidence, and self-esteem so that they can navigate uncertainty and change in their lives. We recently hosted a panel interview of five life coaches for kids, who shared how they’ve been helping kids manage the pandemic roller coaster. These coaches helped kids with challenges like managing anxiety and fear around illness, feeling angry and powerless, managing friendship changes due to restrictions at school, embracing self-responsibility for online learning, and more” said Renaye Thornborrow, founder of Adventures in Wisdom and leader of a worldwide movement to empower children through life coaching and mindset skills training.

Watch the panel interview here – https://adventuresinwisdom.com/wisdom-coaching-helping-kids-manage-change/.

Adventures in Wisdom has trained coaches since 2013 and has Certified WISDOM Coaches in over 30 countries who are working with children both in person and online. Most of our coaches have backgrounds in life coaching (for adults), education, or counseling/therapy/social work.

New self-improvement book shares insights on how to use narcissism as a catalyst for spiritual awakening


News Image

Something I felt was absent from a lot of the advice available about narcissism was the greater purpose of it.

Author Esther Hunter returns to the publishing scene with the release of “From Narcissism To Nirvana” (published by Balboa Press AU). In this self-improvement book, she offers a new perspective on narcissism and discusses how it is a gift that can be used for spiritual awakening.

“I have dealt with a lot of narcissistic people throughout my life,” the author shares. “Something I felt was absent from a lot of the advice available about narcissism was the greater purpose of it. The traits, behaviours, and negative effects are categorised and written about widely, however this is primarily used for self-diagnosing people to ultimately discard. It causes a lot of fear and not much rehabilitation. I aim to help people deeply connect with their Soul as a result of dealing with or being a narcissist.”

“From Narcissism To Nirvana” looks at narcissism through the lens of love. It explains how narcissism is not a dirty word and should not be feared. The book shares insights on how and why abusive people do what they do, and helps readers choose a compassionate angle to demystify the ways they can make a real difference instead of leaving and repeating the cycle. Ultimately, it reveals how resolving the inner conflicts which caused individuals to become or encounter a narcissist, can lead them towards enlightenment.

This book will appeal to those who want to understand the spiritual aspects of narcissism. It also presents useful advice for all parties involved in narcissistic relationship dynamics.
