Nerissa Balland was five months pregnant when she was diagnosed with cancer. What followed wasn't just a fight for survival. It was a complete unraveling of identity, and a slow, unexpected rebuilding through art. She holds an MFA from Pratt Institute, advanced training in Therapeutic Arts, NLP, CBT, and REBT, and spent nearly two decades in marketing and design before her diagnosis shifted the direction of her work.In 2020, she interviewed over 100 young mothers facing cancer. What emerged across those stories became the foundation of her practice and her debut book, Canvas of Courage. Her work centers on a simple but often overlooked truth: healing is not linear, and for many people, it doesn't begin with words. It begins with expression. Nerissa brings this work into hospitals, cancer centers, universities, and wellness organizations, helping people navigate identity, meaning, and what comes next after life-changing experiences.

About Dr. Carla Caturia: "I know what it’s like to be the "dream student" who is secretly a pressure cooker on the inside. At 14, I was a high-achiever with straight A’s and varsity sports, yet I possessed zero emotional tools to manage the anxiety of keeping it all together. I spent the next two decades chasing a "winning facade," achieving the jet-setting lifestyle and the elite career, only to realize that success on paper is meaningless without a foundation of internal control. It took a total life reset in my 40s - leaving my career in school administration - to finally rebuild my emotional foundation from scratch. Today, I am the mentor I needed when I was 14.As an elite peak performance coach and the CEO of The House of Rise, I have dedicated over 20 years to helping high-achieving families trade performance-driven pressure for identity-based confidence. Having worked with over 10,000 tweens, teens, and young adults, I’ve seen firsthand how the "perfect kid" illusion can lead to silent suffering and eventual burnout. My approach is deeply research-based, utilizing my unique RISE Model to address the root causes of emotional pressure while offering families practical strategies for calm, collaborative connection. I have shared these frameworks on stages with thousands of parents and teens, helping them move beyond "talk therapy" into a state of authentic, empowered performance." Dr. Carla CaturiaWhy Book Dr. Carla:The "Unlearning" Expert: She speaks to the heart of every parent’s fear - that their child’s current success is actually a "false start" for a future burnout. Tactical Resilience: She moves beyond "talk therapy" into identity-based confidence and emotional regulation.The Bridge: She understands the school system from the inside as a former administrator and the high-achiever’s mind from her own journey as a varsity athlete and elite professional.

Katie Rizzo’s memoir, The Trimesters of Grief, a hybrid memoir and prescriptive guide, reframes the experience of losing a child to opioid addiction through the lens of gestation - moving readers through invisible, undeniable and public stages of grief toward the lifelong work of living with loss blending raw journal entries, original poetry and pools. Pitched for readers of It’s OK that You’re Not OK and Beautiful Boy, with a foreword by Colin Campbell. Rizzo holds two masters: one from Yale University and another from the University of Colorado School of Medicine. For the last fifteen years, Katie Rizzo taught Anatomy and Biology at her local community college and public high school. Her short stories have been published in literary journals and in anthologies. In September of 2024, Katie Rizzo lost her firstborn son to addiction. In a tragic irony, she found that grief mirrored pregnancy. After joining grief groups, listening to podcasts, and reading everything she could get her hands on, Katie carried her grief as long as she could. Finally, she found ways to help cope with the trauma and deliver this ‘grief baby.’ Her memoir, The Trimesters of Grief, will be released on October 6 by Koehler Books, with Blackstone Publishing handling audio licensing. None of Them Are You - A book of Poems is being published by Extra Extra Publishing on Dia de los Muertos, November 1st.

Dr. Lynn Banis is a transformational guide, grief mentor, and the founder of Women Rising Together. After the unexpected loss of her husband, Lynn found herself facing the same soul-deep question so many midlife professionals face: What now, when the old life no longer fits? Rather than rush to rebuild, she chose to re-imagine everything - her identity, her work, her rhythms, her purpose. What emerged was not just healing, but a new way of living and leading - one that honors freedom, clarity, and soulful contribution. Today, Lynn helps high-capacity women navigating loss, transition, or burnout to design lifestyle businesses and lives that are rooted in truth - not hustle. Her work blends decades of experience in human development with deep spiritual inquiry, helping others turn their greatest disruptions into sacred turning points. --------- Important Links: https://womenrisingtogether.org/ https://widowsrisingtogether.com/5steps-landing = Five Steps to Moving beyond Grief https://widowsrisingtogether.com/grieving-friend-landing = How to Support a Grieving Friend

Tauna Young is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, anxiety and nervous system expert, and founder of Neurovana Calm - a company dedicated to expanding access to innovative, evidence-based approaches for anxiety, insomnia, and nervous system dysregulation. After years of working directly with patients, Tauna noticed a recurring pattern: many mental health treatment plans focused primarily on managing symptoms while overlooking the underlying state of the nervous system itself. That realization led her to explore more integrative, physiology-based approaches to care, including Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), an FDA-cleared technology designed to support nervous system regulation.Today, Tauna speaks nationally about anxiety, nervous system health, modern mental health treatment plans, and the importance of giving patients more informed, personalized care options. Her approach bridges clinical credibility with compassionate education, helping audiences understand the connection between physiology, emotional health, sleep, stress, and long-term resilience. Rather than positioning treatment as medication versus alternatives, Tauna advocates for expanding the mental health toolkit - creating treatment plans that may include therapy, medication, CES, lifestyle interventions, and other evidence-based supports tailored to the individual.Known for her calm, conversational communication style, Tauna makes neuroscience approachable and empowering for both practitioners and everyday audiences alike. Her mission is simple: help people feel less overwhelmed, more informed, and more hopeful about what’s possible in mental health care today. https://neurovanacalm.com/

Dr. Debi Silber is the founder and CEO of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute, a PhD-credentialed researcher, two-time TEDx Speaker (2M+ combined views), two-time #1 international bestselling author, and award-winning speaker. Her research - validated across 100,000+ people in 50+ countries - produced three discoveries that give coaches the edge they've been missing. 1: betrayal is a distinct experience that doesn't heal with time, doesn't resolve with a new relationship, and needs its own path to healing. 2: Post Betrayal Syndrome® is a measurable cluster of 60+ symptoms that silently sabotages client progress - across every niche. 3: The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery™ provide a proven, predictable pathway all the way to transformation. That third discovery is what changes everything for coaches. The tools you already use work - but their power depends entirely on timing. Knowing which stage a client is in tells you exactly when and how to deploy what you already know. The result isn't a new coaching approach. It's a new level of precision that makes your existing expertise dramatically more effective. An ICF-approved CCE provider and creator of the #1 betrayal recovery certification for coaches, Dr. Debi also hosts the globally top-ranked Podcast From Betrayal to Breakthrough and has been featured on FOX, CBS, and The Dr. Oz Show. Because the clients who are hardest to move aren't resistant. They're not uncommitted. They're unhealed - and now you'll know exactly where they are and what they need to finally move forward.Links: The site: https://thepbtinstitute.comThe site: https://thepbtinstitute.comThe latest TEDx: “Do You Have Post Betrayal Syndrome?“: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyqOR69dHiUThe newest book: Unstuck: https://www.amazon.com/Unstuck-Practitioners-Betrayal-Survival-Transformation/dp/B0GQVB6QYH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3BYGJDRRAEQLS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sPFvqfSknu0E_-luWKBsYRo9OEj3b_jXvkkjIfMGiQI.epCKvg7AqIjSDy2d16W8hvMAJbnZZDIYSiWS-cqwWE8&dib_tag=se&keywords=unstuck+book+debi+silber&qid=1776706090&sprefix=unstuck+book+debi+silb%2Caps%2C236&sr=8-1 The From Betrayal to Breakthrough podcast: https://thepbtinstitute.com/podcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debisilberFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspireEmpowerTransformLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debisilber/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debisilber/

Heather Ann Ferri’s parents bought her tap shoes at age three, never imagining they would become both a tool for healing generational trauma in the past and in the present. At eight years old, her world shattered when her mother’s mental state shifted, and daily attacks on her throat stole pieces of her breath, identity, and soul. Those same tap shoes carried her to New York City, where she transformed pain into power and became a Guinness World Record - holding dancer. But in her thirties, her body could no longer carry the weight of unspoken wounds, forcing her into a profound spiritual reckoning. Today, Heather Ann is an ancient soul healer, storyteller, and trauma-informed guide who speaks about the masks we wear, the stages we perform on, and the lifelong journey of coming home to the self.-----------Private Consultation and Coaching: [email protected] Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G1DFP49GBreathwork for Leaders: Nervous System Mastery (9 Videos) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL3jr-MSih_YEjeU2EJA6OahD67FSliojBreathwork Meditations for Stress, Trauma, and Emotional Pain ( 5 Videos) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL3jr-MSih_ZI-iNk-Csj_x_EBwXWqQ9_
