Loren Crawford grew up different — a shy, lanky kid in a small prairie town, raised in a single-parent household in the 1970s, when that was unusual and emotional support was basically nonexistent. He didn't fit the mold, didn't understand why, and spent years searching for solid ground. His 20s were directionless. He drifted through university, worked retail, landed a low-level government job, and felt the quiet frustration of a life not yet lived. It wasn't until he returned to school at 28 that something shifted — he discovered a love for facilitation and training that launched a 25-year career in the labor movement. A late bloomer, by his own admission. But blooming nonetheless. Then came yoga. And with it, a doorway into energy work, healing, and soul-purpose coaching that would change everything. He trained and certified yoga teachers, ran a studio, and began helping people tap into their inner spark. At 38, an unexpected spiritual awakening deepened it all. A path of healing opened — and he walked it fully.Today, Loren works with midlifers who feel stuck — especially gay men over 50 navigating the question of what's next. He knows the golden handcuffs. He wore them. He also knows what waits on the other side: two, maybe three decades of meaningful work, real freedom, and a life built with intention rather than inertia. He believes joy is a birthright, not a reward. And he's committed to helping others claim it. Loren shares his wisdom on The Wisdom Trust Podcast, in essays, and through one-on-one coaching. If you're ready to design your next chapter, he's ready to help you map it out.

Crystal Kearney is the founder of Life's Journey Fitness and creator of The Journey Method, a coaching framework that helps people rebuild self-trust and create lasting change through sustainable habits rather than short-term motivation. Like many of the people she now coaches, Crystal spent years caught in the cycle of starting over—relying on motivation, chasing perfection, and believing the next Monday would finally be different. Through her own journey, she realized the problem wasn't a lack of discipline. It was a lack of trust in herself. That realization became the foundation of her coaching philosophy and ultimately led to the creation of The Journey Method. Today, Crystal helps people step away from the all-or-nothing mindset and build consistency through small, intentional actions that strengthen confidence over time. Her work blends fitness, mindset, accountability, and identity to help clients create change they can actually sustain. Through her writing, Crystal explores the deeper patterns that shape our health—self-trust, consistency, identity, perfectionism, and the stories we tell ourselves about what's possible. Rather than offering another quick fix, she challenges readers to rethink lasting transformation from the inside out. Her mission is simple: to help people become someone they can count on—one promise at a time.

Avishai El is a 2x International Best-Selling Author, Psychic Medium, and Certified Holistic Health Coach. She is 35 years old and has been in Utah for two years but spent much of her life in Connecticut. Prior to getting into the holistic health and medical field she went to school for Music Education.   Although she had to learn how to teach every instrument and vocal techniques, her focus was violin. She was on the Dean’s List almost every semester and worked hard to obtain scholarships that put her through school.   While she was going to school in 2011, her mom stumbled upon Dr. Joel Fuhrman who was on a television broadcast. He was talking about how eating healthy could get rid of sickness — even cancer, which sparked her interest.   In 2009 we took a big loss when my aunt passed away from pancreatic cancer. She was my best friend and very close to my mom. So, when she heard what Dr. Joel Fuhrman was saying she immediately changed her eating habits.   My mom weighed about 360 lbs. and within 1.5 years she lost 200 lbs. At this time, I was also sick with endometriosis and wanted to lose weight, so I followed suit and changed my diet from vegetarian to vegan. Once I did this, I noticed that I had no more pain and within 1.5 years I also got rid of endometriosis and lost about 40 lbs. or so.   It took that one broadcast and my mom being a catalyst to forever change my life. Who knew I was a health nut all along?! My mom went to health school 12 years or so ago and became certified as a health coach. I would steal her health books and immerse myself in the knowledge.   I found myself retaining all the medical and nutritional info. Within a couple years I took it a step further and went to school. When I went to school I had diabetes, liver damage, bloat, and undiagnosed cancer.   Yeah, unfortunately when you’ve had years of foreign matter from vaccinations and an unhealthy diet, it takes a toll on the body. Although, I had switched my diet to plant based and vegan. Within a year I received my certification in raw foods for healing and holistic health…and this was great news. I had the tools to keep myself and others dealing with the same health problems alive.   My health was like a yo-yo. When one thing got better something else got worse. I was in and out of the hospitals, seeing various doctors, and getting some answers here and there. I was grateful to have met Dr. Morse online who helped me get rid of the last couple of ailments, such as kidney failure and cancer.   I saw immense progress in my health in 2021 and started to know what it felt like to be healthy. Being terminally ill didn’t stop me from helping others. From 2015 and beyond I traveled educating on the healing benefits of essential oils, won awards, worked as a hospice nurse at hospitals, helped babies, and built programs for my clients.   In 2021 my psychic, holistic health videos went viral on TikTok and I went from 2 followers to now 35,000. It’s been a rewarding feeling helping thousands of people on a global scale. They come to me to help them on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level.   And I’m an expert at that because I’ve pretty much been through it all. I’m no stranger to sexual abuse and assault, domestic violence, car accidents, burns, and a traumatic brain injury. I’m no stranger to physical ailments either…so, my methods that I used and know work are strategies I incorporate into my coaching.   My clients have seen tremendous results with them. It’s a joy to feel free and see others become free as well. My mission is to help everyone find healing and heal themselves with the tools presented to them.   They have access to my programs…my internationally known podcast, Avi Unfiltered… my books, “I Made It Out” and “The Power of Why” book series as well. Writing is a passion of mine as well.   I am a digital marketer and Certified UX Copywriter because I wanted to expand my reach by helping holistic health and beauty brands grow their business. After all I know the power of words and solving the problems of potential clients.   So, they can get the transformation that they’re looking for.

Ella Amory was born on April 13th, 2001, at St. Pieters Hospital in Brussels. She is the youngest in a family of four, with two brothers in the middle. With two brothers, everything was a race, a fight, a competition. Naturally, she became active and competitive through her upbringing. At the age of 10, she began playing rugby at Boitsfort Rugby Club, where she was the only girl in her age group for four years. At 15, she attended trials for the U18s national 7s team and was selected. At 16, she became Belgian champion with the ladies’ team at her club, and at 17, while captaining the U18s 7s team, she earned her first international cap for Belgium 7s in the European Championship, where she got a taste of high-level rugby. That taste left her eager for more. She graduated from high school at 18, and with all her siblings graduating from medical school, the question her parents asked was, “What doctor do you want to be?” “A rugby doctor,” she replied. Her desire to pursue rugby, combined with the family pressure to succeed, led Ella to the best club in the world: Harlequins Women. She moved away from home at 18, learned English, and then went to Surrey University to study Business Management, all while playing at the highest level in the world: the English Premiership. Five years later, she combined her knowledge of Business Management with her passion for rugby to develop the Offload Agency, a recruitment platform for female rugby players.

DO I QUALIFY? Ella Amory Professional Rugby Player Ella Amory was born on April 13th, 2001, at St. Pieters Hospital in Brussels. She is the youngest in a family of four, with two brothers in the middle. With two brothers, everything was a race, a fight, a competition. Naturally, she became active and competitive through her upbringing. At the age of 10, she began playing rugby at Boitsfort Rugby Club, where she was the only girl in her age group for four years. At 15, she attended trials for the U18s national 7s team and was selected. At 16, she became Belgian champion with the ladies’ team at her club, and at 17, while captaining the U18s 7s team, she earned her first international cap for Belgium 7s in the European Championship, where she got a taste of high-level rugby. That taste left her eager for more. She graduated from high school at 18, and with all her siblings graduating from medical school, the question her parents asked was, “What doctor do you want to be?” “A rugby doctor,” she replied. Her desire to pursue rugby, combined with the family pressure to succeed, led Ella to the best club in the world: Harlequins Women. She moved away from home at 18, learned English, and then went to Surrey University to study Business Management, all while playing at the highest level in the world: the English Premiership. Five years later, she combined her knowledge of Business Management with her passion for rugby to develop the Offload Agency, a recruitment platform for female rugby players. This platform allows players to connect with clubs, universities, and unions around the world in just a few clicks. Ella is a leader in her life, passionate, driven, and determined to take everyone along with her. She dreams of a world where Offload is the hub of women’s rugby for connections, recruitment, and work opportunities.
