His approach blends data-driven coaching, and consulting informed by working for more than 35 years in the corporate world.

Tiffany Ann Beverlin

During her fifteenth year of marriage—and after a decade out of the work force—Tiffany was forced to recycle her life. She was repeatedly told she was unemployable since she was out of the workforce so long. After a fortuitous dream about problems selling her own engagement ring, she created a company for that purpose.

DreamsRecycled.com rose up as the marketplace that specializes in selling goods from one’s divorce. DreamsRecycled.com quickly became a gathering place for the divorce community. Today, the site consists of blogs, secondary divorce services directory and “community zones” to assist the divorce community.

Tiffany has appeared on AOL News, FOX News, CBS News and dozens of national publications and radio shows, bestowing hard-hitting advice on divorce. She is also the Author of My Dreams Recycled, and a certified Life & Divorce Coach.

Dreams get broken, but this allows us to create new, even bigger ones that ultimately, like mine, will come true!

brain-1845962_1920.jpg

Do you know why being a member of Fight Club and getting called into your boss' office are not that different? Do you know why social isolation can seem like the right choice to those suffering from PTSD? Have you ever wondered why a simple request like "pass the butter" can result in an unpredictably explosive reaction from your spouse or partner?

In today's episode of "Why It Works," Leckey Harrison, Resilience Trainer and former firefighter reveals some of the hidden mechanisms behind PTSD and Trauma Healing. Join us as we explore how to stop anxiety by starving fear, the role of the body in dealing with stress, and the straw that broke the camel's back and started Leckey's own journey to address his PTSD and eventually, begin to help others.
