    LTGL46-JanineBolon-4 Steps to Living a Perfect Life
    Jan 12 2022
    When Janine Bolon was young she was struck by lightning. This was an experience that (obviously) she lived through, but is the driving factor that inspired her not to waste time by living an unfulfilled life. Janine’s original life goal was to be a scientist and have as many different types of experiences as she could. She loves people and enjoys helping them achieve the dreams they’ve set for themselves. It is great fun to assist them as they move from living paycheck-to-paycheck into an abundant life! Janine has worked as an analytical biochemist, homeschooled four children, published 8 books (and counting) and was married to her college sweetheart for 30 years. In 2010 she was called into active service by the Thunder Clan. She says she was pulled into her life’s purpose. That purpose is to teach, write and guide spiritual seekers of all paradigms into a deeper relationship with their Source AND teach folks about the spiritual, emotional and physical laws that work within financial abundance. Through her writings and online courses, she shares how to expand your intuitive gifts as well as help you uncover the blocks you have to improving your financial situation. For the more analytical seeker, she's been labeled as a Financial First-Responder. For the spiritually minded her label is a first chakra healer. No matter what label you prefer to call her (just don’t call me “late” for dinner!). Janine is here to share with you how to gather Money, live debt-free and leave the living paycheck-to-paycheck life behind.

    LTGL45-AprilAllford-Humor Every Day
    Dec 15 2021
    Today we celebrate a blast from my past who is very much thriving and living a great life in Indiana. Back in my early days in small-town radio, April wrote a weekly column for the local paper on arts & entertainment. Well-loved and admired, she helped pioneer the CO Roaring Fork Valley's comedy scene, kicking it off on a high note on one of the finest stages in Aspen, and eventually creating The April Clark Show. Join April and I for a little walk through the past, what she's up to now, having taken on perhaps the most rewarding project of her lifetime as a wife and mom in the chicken capital of Indiana. Hear about the untalked-about souvenir that many formerly pregnant women carry and April's part in the beginnings of that little blue pill.

    April Allford is a Purdue University and Poynter Institute for Media Studies alumna who seeks out creative outlets in her life. The Society of Professional Journalists, Colorado Press Association, Colorado Mountain News Media and Purdue Exponent have recognized April for her notable writing and graphic design achievements. In Aspen, she was introduced to stand-up comedy as part of a narrative reporting assignment. She continued writing her weekly newspaper column and taking the stage on the Western Slope of Colorado before moving back to the midwest and starting a family in her 40s. She spent time on different comedy stages in Denver, where she won a scholarship to attend Louie Anderson’s comedy camp, and once opened for Leon Redbone when he played in Carbondale, Colorado.

Simply’s ability to forge ahead in life by learning using the power of combining her instincts, intuition, and law of attraction to support her current success.

    LTGL42-JoyRuffen-Leadership Purpose and Your Zone of Genius
    Sep 22 2021
    Joy Ruffen has always had a keen eye for fashion, design, and style. Around the age of 13, as a
    budding seamstress, her home economics teacher pulled her aside in awe of her intuitive knowing of
    harmony and balance. These words resonated and a future-stylist was born.

    She won the “Best Dressed Award” from the School of Design in Cleveland, Ohio. And, in a
    moment she’d never forget, her sense of fashion and natural eye for design principles were were enthusiastically pointed out by the head designer in her first position as assistant designer at “Smartee,” a leading sportswear brand.

    Joy went on to study at the world-renowned Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. It was here that her awareness of style, attention to detail, and her killer instincts landed her in the exciting world of Fashion Merchandising.

    Today, Joy stands for professional women, both young and mature to shine as the intelligent,
    sophisticated, and classy women they are so that they can excel in their careers. While it is true
    that “you can’t judge a book by its cover,” in the business world, however, those that dress the part
    have the greatest chance of being catapulted into success. She believes that all women can still
    incorporate their own sense of style while coming across as polished and professional, an art form
    that has been slowly dying in our current culture.

    Joy works as a Style and Leadership Coach, and Public Speaker. Her passion and purpose is for
    women to feel incredible about themselves on the inside and to look equally amazing on the outside.
    She teaches how to acquire the look of elegance and sophistication, with ease. When her clients
    walk into a room, they command it by projecting confidence, integrity, and charisma, firmly
    standing in their power.
