I am currently teaching a Helping and Listening Skills class at Long Beach City College. We are using a book on Motivational Interviewing. What we are learning more than anything is how important it is to listen to what we are saying and to what others are saying. We are constantly getting feedback from the world as to where we are or how we’re doing. But many times we want to blame others for our circumstances rather than listen to what’s really going on in our “Lives.”
This video will help you to understand the significance of relationships and connection in healing our lives:
I met my husband 14 years ago. I spent at least 10 of those years trying to please him and trying to change him. Once I got sick of that, I did something that worked and that made me happy. I accepted him for who he is and most importantly, I accepted me for who I am. Since then, it’s like our marriage has been re-born.

I am available for public speaking at your organization. I am knowledgeable in the following topics: Helping and Listening Skills, Motivational Interviewing, Stress Management, Overcoming Self-Sabotage and more.
I also do presentations “my way”. I have created a Super-Hero character named Gal Vanized and she has a powerful message about the perils of people-pleasing and perfectionism.
