Vibeke Pedersen's story is one of triumph over adversity, revealing the resilience of the human spirit and our inherent capacity for recovery and transformation. In her mid-twenties, despite outward success, Vibeke ignored her intuition, entering a destructive relationship that spiraled into trauma, PTSD, and substance abuse. A near-fatal brain injury from an accidental overdose, marked a turning point in Vibeke's life, propelling her on an extraordinary path to self-recovery. In the wake of the incident, Vibeke faced immense challenges. Stripped of her ability to communicate and trapped in a cycle of frustration, despair, and deep shame, she isolated herself, hiding her condition from friends and family. Early recovery was especially difficult, as short-term memory loss made even simple tasks like watching TV frustrating, given her inability to recall events from just moments before. It was in this darkest hour that Vibeke found her true strength. She embarked on a journey of self-exploration, awakening to the power of the mind in the healing process. Despite her skepticism and atheist upbringing, her search for deeper understanding led her to a critical junction. A crossroads where quantum physics and spiritual energetic concepts intersect, enriching her comprehension of their interconnected principles and profoundly transforming her life perspective. Today, Vibeke lives a life that reflects her true self. She has completely rebuilt her self-confidence and now embraces a lifestyle characterized by balance, authenticity, and wellness. For her, the utmost fulfillment comes from empowering her clients, helping them unlock their inherent potential and guiding them towards achieving fulfillment in their personal lives, careers, and relationships. As a Life Coach, Vibeke cultivates resilience, confidence, and mental mastery in her clients. Her empathetic, intuitive approach merges subconscious neuro-reprogramming techniques and energy healing, transforming obstacles into avenues for growth, ensuring her clients not only recover from their setbacks but emerge stronger and more equipped for the challenges ahead.

Hunter Myers is the founder and chief matchmaker at Verdure Design Co., a branding studio that transforms "swipe left" businesses into "love at first sight" brands. With five years in the trenches helping entrepreneurs find their voice and vibe, Hunter isn't interested in making pretty logos; she's obsessed with creating brands that make customers weak in the knees.   Her unconventional background in English and Sociology isn't the typical path to branding, and that's precisely her secret weapon. Where others see marketing challenges, Hunter sees relationship dynamics. Her "brand matchmaking" method has entrepreneurs ditching the corporate-speak and cookie-cutter templates in favor of authentic brand personalities that spark genuine chemistry with their ideal customers.   Hunter's clients, predominantly women and LGBTQ+ business owners tired of blending into the beige background of their industries, find themselves not just clarifying their positioning but discovering their power. They stop apologizing for their prices, quit chasing uninterested prospects, and build businesses that attract the right people without the exhausting dance of being everything to everyone. When she's not elbow-deep in strategy sessions or design work, you'll find Hunter serving up unfiltered truths on her YouTube channel, hosting conversations that cut through the noise on her show The Brand Bite Podcast, or enthusiastically explaining to anyone who'll listen why finding your ideal customer is exactly like dating.
