At just 4 years old, Laura Baxter discovered her passion for being on stage as she sang her first solo at church. Her love of performance brought her to many stages, from musical theatre to opera, until she finally hit a wall. Luckily her director at the time urged her to see an old wise woman named Nan who gently steered her onto a spiritual journey that taught her how to find her source within.

After many years of commanding the stage from inner presence and authenticity, Laura now teaches people how to ‘own the room’ in a way that is authentic to their true nature. Her most recent book, Dealing with Divas and other Difficult Personalities, helps people to relate to the ‘divas’ in their lives; to stay calm and steer the conversation towards reaching their goals.

Watch this interview for a fun conversation about divas, being a big personality, accepting yourself as you are, and relating to others. (Confession: Laura’s topic totally brought out my inner diva and she had LOTS to say! Had to do a little editing to get this interview down to our normal length!)  Enjoy!

More About Laura Baxter
Laura Baxter, the American opera singer and performance coach has studied the effects of the voice and body on non-verbal communication and leadership for over 25 years, and she brings this experience together to help her clients perform and communicate better. In addition to her many stage performances, Laura was the singing voice of Faye Dunaway in the feature film “A Handmade’s Tale.” A recipient of the prestigious Louis Sudler Award for the Arts at Emory University, Laura is coauthor of several German books, and her new book Dealing with Divas and other Difficult Personalities: A Mindful Approach to Improving Relationships in Your Business or Organization will be released May 2017! Laura lives and works in Germany with her husband and two children.

Using the Acronym DIVA, Laura’s new book Dealing with Divas and other Difficult Personalities is divided into four parts:
Defining your the situation with the “diva”,
Creating and maintaining a strong, positive Inner State,
Valuing both yourself and the “diva” by learning about your and their personality structures and needs, and
Associating with the “diva”, the ability to interact with the “diva” in a way that helps you and them achieve your goals.

I met Diana Adkins when I was studying under HeatherAsh Amara at the Toltec Center of Creative Intent (Toci) in Austin. At the time I was a hot mess and Diana was a teacher with years of Toltec training under her belt along with a book How to Potty Train Your Brain – Toltec Tools & Wisdom. We served on the leadership team for Toci together (affectionately called the “Sparklypants”) and later she taught me how to be a spiritual coach in the Artist of the Spirit Coach Training Programwhich she co-created with HeatherAsh.

Diana Adkins is deeply committed to understanding the nature of ‘life, the universe and everything else’; honoring and embracing the unanimity of truths found in spiritual traditions. Her passions have taken her around the world – from barns to boardrooms, mountains to monasteries and from seeking to finding.  Diana believes, “we are creating our lives, every bit of them, and we need to understand that truth – then we can become fully self-empowered.”

Watch this interview to hear about a passion that Diana and I share: manifesting the life of your dreams. Diana watched first-hand as I manifested the love of my life, and calmly yet compassionately observed the twists and turns of that journey: the deep hopeful passions, the budding self-awareness that led to many breakups, and the emergence of a woman who loves herself (and….then attracted her dream guy). This interview shares tips and insights on the topics of stalking yourself and manifesting your dreams.

More About Diana
Toltec teacher, minister, coach and author, Diana focuses her work with others through coaching, Artist of the Spirit coach training program, and her Living Lightprogram.  She blends her background in Shamanism, Spiritualism, Wicca, Science, Energy, Pranayanna Yoga, Buddhism, Native American Church, Christianity and Life in her work.  She is a Reiki Master and is certified in the Law of Attraction, the Rays, reading Akashic Records, the Dervish Healing Order and Shamanic Healing.

A ‘recovering accountant’, Diana worked as CEO/CFO for non-profits in ID, WA, CA, NM, TX and Indonesia – until she stopped.  She continues to serve the Lama Foundation by sitting on its governing council, and her career today is one that utilizes all of her – mind, body, heart and spirit.  She also says of herself, “I’ll be one of those people that, at the end, ‘Skid in sideways saying – Wow, what a ride!’”

During my spiritual journey to becoming a healer, I sought the mentoring of Jon Rasmussen (a protégé of Alberto Villoldo, The Four Winds). Jon shared pivotal wisdom with me that helped me to immerse myself in the experience of life without putting the brakes on the roller coaster ride. He helped me to step off the triangle with my teenage son and stop rescuing. And he helped me to fearlessly accept with open arms the abundance that the Universe was desiring to send me.

Watch this interview to hear about Jon’s multiple near-death experiences, his flirtation with pain, and the unfolding of his becoming a shaman. He was simply looking for a different job than engineering, and then he received the fateful prophesy of being “a mediator of souls between the worlds” and forever entered the world of the unknowable.

Jon discusses so many great topics in this interview including coming out as a shaman in a Western world, appropriation, prosperity and the healer, the unknown and the unknowable, and the evolution of humanity to honor the gifts of the feminine. Strap yourself in for some shaman wisdom and 1. Click Play (a little tech writer humor for you there).

MORE ABOUT JON
Jon Rasmussen had seven near death experiences until he finally woke up on his 8th one and accepted his destiny as a Shaman. For over 30 years Jon has been training with Shaman’s in South America and traveling to sacred sites to learn their special magic. Jon’s work as a healer has become known around the world and he is in high demand, traveling all over to work with clients. Alberto Villoldo PhD, author of Shaman, Healer, Sage says of Jon “A brilliant and gifted healer, and a man of deep and prescient insight.” He is a well known author, speaker, company advisor and ceremonialist. In addition to publishing his book on Shamanism, he has created numerous CD and DVD titles and writes frequently on his blog.
