Katie Maloney
Katie Maloney is changing the way we talk about trauma healing. As a speaker and author of “Cake Pops and Coffee: A New Conversation About Trauma,” Katie’s mission to expand conversations about trauma healing to include more lightheartedness and even humor. Survivors’ stories include far more than just trauma. Survivors have beautiful, lighthearted, meaningful, funny, and significant moments every day, and they deserve trauma healing conversations that reflect that.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
When I first started working through the 18 years of childhood sexual abuse I experienced, I looked to books for guidance. But all I could find were psychology books that felt too clinical or heavily titled self help books that felt overwhelming and depressing. And all of the healing resources available only focused on the trauma. I wanted a book that felt like I was having a conversation with my best friend and focused on moving forward after the trauma. I wanted to know how to feel comfortable holding my partner’s hand. I wanted to figure out why I was being triggered by certain songs or smells, or places, and I wanted to learn how to lovingly work through those triggers. And I wanted to learn how to reparent myself and heal the little girl part of myself who felt unsafe. So, I wrote the book I always needed. In my book, I talk about all the aspects of healing from trauma that no one was talking about when I started my healing journey. And I do so in a way that includes lightheartedness and even humor because we, as survivors, deserve a joyful healing experience.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I believe that my success as an author, speaker and trauma healing coach is based in my willingness to talk about the aspects of healing from sexual trauma that so many survivors want to discuss but are too shy or embarrassed or ashamed to ask about. For example, I spend an entire chapter in my book talking about self-pleasure because learning to experience safe touch and pleasure was one of the most challenging milestones in my healing journey. And I know that it’s a topic that an incredible amount of survivors want support in but don’t know who to ask to get started. I always say that I am committed to oversharing so that other survivors don’t have to feel so alone in their experiences.
Rhyan Howe
While I was growing up, I was the girl who was shy to most, outgoing to some, and funny to almost everyone. I thought I was a normal, everyday kid, but once I got older, I realized a lot of my behaviors were from the trauma that I had experienced as a child.
Once I came to terms with these revelations, I decided to go to college to get two Bachelor’s of Science degrees in Psychology and Exercise Science because I was fascinated with learning about the human body, and soon after that, I went on to become a Certified Professional Life Coach. I am also in the process of obtaining my Masters of Science degree in Clinical Psychology.

Marcia Earhart
I love life and live it out loud with passion, purpose, practicality, and freedom. I value honesty, authenticity, and depth of character relationally. Now I don’t love life because it is always good, it isn’t. I have walked through obstacles and valleys of chronic illness, strained extended family relationships, infertility, adoption, parenting kids with RAD, ADHD, ADD, betrayal, church conflict, job loss, financial struggles, and within the last seven years, the tragic loss of my 21-year-old son, Sterling in 2014 as well as our 26-year-old son, Marc in 2019.
God is always present in the midst and shows that there is still an abundant life to be had in the darkest and deepest of trials. It is in these very places He has revealed aspects of Himself to me that have been life-changing. These times are refining moments where He wants me to submit and surrender to His sovereignty. The treasure found in the darkness is God himself. He continues to give strength when weary, hope when despairing, joy in the midst of pain, and the ability to live victoriously and overcome when defeat longs to devour and destroy.

Simon Welsh
Simon Welsh Poetry spans many concepts, from the magical and ridiculous, through the harsh stark truth behind 21st century society, to practical solutions to leading a whole and happy life.
Essentially there is a single message running through the work: we are all connected. The power of the Universe runs through us.
In some this power is active and in others, dormant: every poem is an invitation to step out of dormancy and into activity, where we can dance our own unique dance with pride and with joy, and shift into the understanding of what it truly means to be our own hero and to live in love rather than fear.
We can make every day count by choosing, moment by moment, to realise our dreams and our fantasies, pulling them out of imagination and creating them in reality. Thus we can share with the world the gifts we brought to the Earth. It is time to remember how powerful we are, and to give to the world what we want the world to give to us: joy, freedom, peace and chocolate.
