Tune in to hear these OWLs (and Mr. OWL) give a hoot about helping humans realize recovery is always an option!! 
Our Guests
Sandy Lintz has journeyed a long way to where she is now--living a peacefully centered life. But she did not always have one. Diagnosed with clinical depression as a teenager, suffered from panic attacks and anxiety, and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Despite all the labels, tears, and struggling for decades, Sandy never lost hope--hope that one day her hectic life would level out, her troubled mind would find peace, and her broken heart would finally find comfort. For Sandy recovery was an option at 54, and she's never looked back. Five years later, Sandy is now a Neuro coach, helping humans find peace of mind and live a joyful life. 
Dale Walsh grew up always thinking he was on a different plan of reality than most of his peers. His grandiose thoughts began at the age of 16 when he "figured out" he was smarter than Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's brilliant but widely disliked Secretary of State. Perhaps this big thought grew from a possible complex because he was constantly the shortest boy in his grade and, for the first two years at boarding school, the smallest kid in the entire institution...at least that’s what Dale believed. Diagnosed as a schizophrenic at the age of 20, Dale was institutionalized with schizophrenic delusions after his first year at Dartmouth. For Dale, recovery has always been an option. It's been 27 years since Dale's last schizophrenic episode. Today, Dale is a coach supporting families whoo's loved ones are fighting their own battle to recover from schizophrenia.

Always asking 'why' and dreaming of finding true happiness, Emily Adams was not your average Amish kid. With zero interest in learning how to cook, clean, sew or do anything girly, this tomboy loved to be outside, playing sports and training horses. When Emily turned 17 she made her mind up to leave everything she has known her entire life (see ya later Amish community) and start writing her own story. This was the first time in her life that she realized the amount of mental strength she had, and her ability to believe in herself, even when no one else did. Emily's strong body and mind has gotten her through a whole lot of the years! After going through a rough divorce and nasty custody battle, she was ready to start working on herself.

Emily's life-long dream of becoming and athlete and earning a college degree were about to come true, but not without being told it would be impossible to be an athlete, graduate in 4 years, all while working full time and being a single mom. Not only did Emily walk across that stage in 4 years with her bachelor degree, she also dropped 65 pounds working out and cleaning up her nutrition. After running multiple Spartan races, she was introduced to powerlifting and fell in love with the sport of competing.Working out and losing weight built Emily's confidence and gave her the self esteem she needed to realize she was a lot stronger, both mentally and physically, than she ever gave herself credit for. Tune in to hear Emily share her morning routines, steps you can take to start overcoming your limiting beliefs, and ways you can explore your identity and decide whoo YOU want to be, as you create your own identity recipe.

​Erin Halper is on a mission to help ambitious professionals achieve the freedom, flexibility, and work-life integration that come with consulting.

(Don’t worry, he’s perfectly healthy now!) At the time, she was in a very demanding private equity job, and there was no way she could continue working full-time and manage his surgeries and doctor’s appointments. Something had to change.  Erin did the bold and brave things and went on to build her consultant agency, spending 7 years providing marketing expertise to her private equity, real estate investor and hedge fund clients. She was able to make a high 6-figure income, while having the flexibility to manage her son’s health, have her second son, maintain a strong marriage, and move homes twice.
