With a background spanning corporate leadership, pastoral ministry, and coaching, Kurt helps leaders break free from self-doubt, embrace authenticity, and confidently lead. Having overcome his struggles with imposter syndrome, Kurt is passionate about guiding others through transformational growth and authentic leadership.

He is also the co-host of The Brimstone Coaching Podcast, where he and his coaching partner explore leadership, personal growth, and breaking through barriers. About a decade ago, I was invited into some work of self-discovery and growing self-awareness. This work changed my life. Not only that, but it became abundantly clear that this work (coaching people in the journey of transformation, beginning with self-discovery) was the work that I wanted to give my life to. So I did. Over the last 3 years, my business partner and I (Chris Godfredsen) have developed a coaching philosophy that we believe deeply in, mostly because it's both rung true in our lives AND helped lead to real transformation in our lives. I believe that each of us had important and impactful (not necessarily traumatic, but definition) encounters in our first formation years.@https://www.brimstonecoachinggroup.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1448690482https://www.instagram.com/kurtbush1/#KurtBush#PersonalDevelopmentExpert#LifeCoach#selfdiscoverycoach #InspirationalSpeaker

Alara Sage, known as The Oracle of Wealth™, helps conscious entrepreneurs transform their energetic blocks into breakthrough wealth by bridging ancient wisdom, quantum mechanics, and business strategy. Her journey from six-figure success to total loss and profound rebirth uniquely positions her to guide visionary leaders in creating unprecedented wealth alignment. As host of the Wealth Embodied podcast, Alara reveals how today's conscious leaders can harness their creative life force energy to build legacy enterprises that transform both business and humanity. Winner of the 29th Annual Award of Distinction In 2021, my entire world turned upside down—every dollar was stolen from me, stripping away not just my financial security but everything I thought I knew about success. This devastating moment, though, became my most profound teacher. It revealed a truth I now share with visionary leaders everywhere: true success isn't built on pushing harder or proving our worth but on who we are at our core. I discovered something transformative: when you transform your relationship with money and self-worth, everything changes. I not only recreated my financial success but did it with more ease and confidence than ever before. I am known for my ability to identify and clear invisible wealth barriers. My work is particularly powerful for changemakers and industry leaders who are ready to create unprecedented wealth alignment. @https://www.alarasage.com/ https://www.facebook.com/alarasage https://www.youtube.com/c/alarasage https://www.instagram.com/alarasage https://www.linkedin.com/in/alara-sage/#alarasage • #spiritualbusiness #intuitivebusiness • #spiritualceo #relationship #leadershiptraining

This is Desiree Taylor, a first-time author, speaker, and mentor. She is a wife and mother of two young adult men. Desiree is deaf with bilateral cochlear implants and is passionate about advocating for those with disabilities. She is here to discuss her new book, Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion. From a young age, my hearing began to go away progressively. Hearing loss has been a part of my story most of the way through. At age 18, I was a young, pregnant, single mom. I was married and continued building our family with another child. I grew up in a very legalistic church environment and have dealt with insecurity, severe low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and anger. I became a Christian and have gone through a journey of learning what it means to have a relationship with Jesus and breaking through the religious and legalistic barriers I wrote about in my new book, Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion which was recently launched. I would love the opportunity to share these experiences with others! I enjoy reading, writing, and hanging out with family and friends. I love spending time with the young adult ladies at our church. My heart is to mentor, disciple, and pass on the wisdom God has given me through life’s seasons. I am a woman of prayer, and I enjoy just sitting and listening to those who need someone. My primary ministry has been my home and as the boys have grown, the ministry has also grown.@https://www.pinterest.com/desrenewed/ https://www.instagram.com/desrenewed/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/desiree-taylor-536827199/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkfqCubrz7NWxGB_BlvzyPQ https://www.arenewedcreation.com/feed/ #arenewedcreation#desireetaylor#christianauthor#marriage #christianliving #arenewedcreation#desireetaylor #christianauthor#christianliving#faithjourney#spiritualgrowth#womenoffaith#inspiration#motivation
