A freak accident in 2011 triggered a rare disease and caused Dori Staehle to rethink her life and her purpose. She asked God to give her a way to heal herself and others. The answer was: “Use your drums.” In 2 weeks, she was healed. She then started her fourth business, Next Stage Drumming, with only $40 and when she was well into her 50's, doing mainly classes, events, and private drum therapy sessions. Once Dori began to infuse some mentoring and coaching, she began to see breakthroughs taking place very quickly! She realized that she needed to share this with more people because... You're never too old and it's never too late...to rock what you've got! Dori is a certified drum therapist, has a drum ministry, and two encouraging books on Amazon. She lives in the Raleigh, NC area but also works virtually.

Bestselling author Audrey Levy is a storyteller at heart. It started when she was just 6 years old, spinning tales for her father by turning her weekly spelling words into a cohesive story while sitting in his lap. You are such a great writer, he told her. You’re going to be very famous one day, he told her. Sounds idyllic, right? Well. Not so much. In the years that followed, Audrey witnessed and experienced her father’s old-fashioned method of discipline, which was a brief but certainly emphatic whipping with a red belt. His loud, frequent yelling was not music to her family’s ears. As an adult, Audrey witnessed and experienced drug abuse, estrangement from her family, disinheritance by her parents, a 20-year union with a now-deceased alcoholic neuropsychologist, an attempted rape by an emotionally disturbed teenage male, and was told of three alleged family suicides, among other things. Pretty much the laundry list of dysfunctional family dynamics and co-dependency. Despite all that, or perhaps because of all that, she likes to say, Audrey became a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and earned her Doctorate in Psychology. She also pioneered a journal writing method to help herself and others heal old wounds — finding hope, recovery, and redemption. Audrey has written one novel, a dozen screenplays, multiple novellas, two teleplays, and one stage play… so far. Audrey wrote, produced, and was the lead actress in her 15-minute short, “War and Family.” Two of Audrey’s screenplays made it to the finals of Mr. Steven Spielberg’s Chesterfield Writing Competition, and a third screenplay made it to the finals of Mr. Redford’s Sundance Competition. She currently lives on a houseboat in California.

Caroline West is an eco-conscious artist who transforms discarded materials into magical works of art. After spending over 18 years in the childcare industry where she balanced her professional responsibilities with raising a family, Caroline experienced burnout and a sense of disillusionment. This pivotal moment led her to pursue her lifelong passion for art, intertwining it with her commitment to sustainability and in July 2022 Caroline left her job in childcare to pursue her art career. Caroline's work is not just a visual delight but also a statement on environmental consciousness. Each piece she creates serves as a reminder of the beauty that can be found in objects we overlook or throw away. Her art challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with waste and inspires a more sustainable mindset. Caroline's journey from childcare to the art world is marked by her unwavering creativity and dedication to making a difference. Her story is a powerful example of how personal transformation can lead to a broader impact, advocating for a more sustainable and beautiful world. Caroline loves being outdoors and painting nature scenes. The beach is her happy place, and she loves being barefoot (shoes are the devil!). When she isn't doing her artwork she loves to travel, read, do yoga and spend time with her many rescue dogs. She's also a sucker for dark chocolate.
