Virginia Phillips - Triumphing after Trauma

Sandahl Taylor knows what it's like to hit rock bottom. And more than just once or twice. She's experienced heartbreak, abuse, family illness and homelessness, and yet today she is living a life she truly loves. As life knocked her down, she learned how to stand, and how to use her crisis moments as points of strength in her life. Today, she aims to inspire and empower people to follow their heart, and to find their own inner voice.

As someone with a heart of kindness and gratitude, she is now sharing her message via pageantry, and helping women to love themselves inside and out. Currently carrying the title of Mrs Germany World, and formerly Mrs Pennsylvania America 2018, Sandahl's message is helping others to shine, be positive, and be empowered.

Join us as we talk through the ways in which Sandahl learned how to get back up on her feet, and how to bring light into her very dark situations.

On June 27th, 1990, Eric Christiansen’s life was changed in an instant when he lost everything he owned in the Santa Barbara Painted Cave fire. Flames engulfed his house, taking all his possessions, and starting him on a new path entirely. From this disaster, he understands trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and how important HOPE is to heal.

At first Eric turned to drugs and alcohol, but soon realised that despite loosing all his earthly possessions he had actually gained everything, and started to put his focus into his film making.Today, Eric is a seven-time Emmy Award recipient, with four films that focus on the impact of trauma on individuals, families and communities.

His new film UnMASKing HOPE follows a disparate group of people whose extraordinary stories of survival most of us have heard only in snippets on the news. Having lived through mass shootings, terror attacks, combat and sexual assaults, these brave trauma survivors don “masks” to hide their pain and suffering as they navigate their new existence that is often stymied by PTSD, physical injury and emotional turmoil. In order to heal, they must confront what’s happened to them and begin their journey from seclusion to inclusion. And as we follow their moving stories, we are all inspired to find hope again and be who we were born to be.

It was early on in life that Bryan Falchuk’s world spiralled out of control. Food became the one thing that relieved his anxiety, soothed his pain and gave him a sense of control. Except there was no control, and very quickly he became unhappy as well as obese.

He remained obese and living the standard American life for many many years, and then his wife got sick. Really sick. And he could see how his lifestyle wasn’t helping. It was then that he decided to give up mediocracy, and unhappiness, as he began to pursue a life where he could design his outcomes.

He went on to getting healthy, running a marathon, all whilst committing to no more than one day of effort at a time. Today Bryan is a Life Coach helping others to understand how they, can overcome challenges, find happiness and succeed.

Anxiety is no stranger to Chris Moss. At the age of 10, Chris convinced himself that his innocent actions had killed his baby brother; an event which opened to the door to guilt and anxiety. Years later, he was held up in a traumatic shop robbery; an event he wondered if he would ever get over. Through his daily practices and stepping out of his comfort zone, Chris has learnt how to find the positive side of anxiety, and how to build a new positive future.

Today, Chris has the dream to help 500,000 people smash through their anxiety and to find a life beyond their wildest dreams through his books and life coaching.
