  • Elizabeth Huang, Life Coach & Death Doula, Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine

    Elizabeth Huang is a certified life coach, grief educator, and death doula who helps individuals navigate life’s transitions with greater emotional awareness, adaptability, and meaning. Born and raised in California, she became deeply aware of American culture’s tendency to avoid conversations about death, grief, and difficult emotions. This cultural avoidance inspired her to take a different approach—one that embraces both life and loss as interconnected experiences rather than opposing forces. Elizabeth’s work extends beyond traditional grief support. She helps individuals process loss in all its forms—whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a shift in identity, or any major life transition that brings emotional upheaval. She believes grief is not just about what we’ve lost, but also about who we are becoming in the process. Through deep listening, emotional reconnection, and sensory awareness, she guides her clients beyond intellectualizing their pain and into a more embodied, healing experience. At the core of her approach is the belief that reconnecting with the full range of our emotions allows us to live more fully and embrace our humanity. By creating space for these conversations and experiences, she helps people cultivate a healthier relationship with their emotions, open themselves to new possibilities, and ultimately shape lives that feel more aligned and fulfilling.

  • David Fisher, Global Public Speaker, Communication Coach, Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine

    At the age of 5, after the sudden and mysterious loss of his father, David Fisher embarked on a quest for a hero, often finding consolation in acting on stage and in films. Graduating university with honours, and becoming a member of the Screen Actors Guild, didn’t stop him from facing depression, near homelessness, and deep self-doubt. David came to the realization that waiting for a saviour wasn’t an option—he needed to be his own hero. Through years of exploration, study, mentorship, and personal experience, he learned that the keys to overcoming life’s challenges are mental wellness, vulnerability, and connection. It became clear to David that he needed to foster a culture where connecting with himself and others could not only be valued, but encouraged to rise above any obstacle. A culture where communicating and leading with vulnerability and strength increases the probabilities to achieve goals. A culture where teams and leaders bridge the gap toward understanding and empathy. A culture where “You” and “Me” become “We”. A Culture of UsTM. Using his understanding, education and passion for storytelling, he started his journey to empower others to do the same. Today, through A Culture of UsTM, David Fisher teaches companies, institutions, and everyday leaders how to work with passion, communicate with clarity, and lead with intention, all toward strengthening their connections to create positive change, while having fun along the way. His keynotes, workshops, coaching sessions, and trainings are not just about bettering communication and leadership, they are about genuine transformation. His approach is simple: A Culture of UsTM helps each of us tap into the hero within, and use that power toward working with others and leading with vulnerability and strength.

    Do What You Love And Do It Better Than Anyone Else - Interview With Gary Vaynerchuk Do What You Love And Do It Better Than Anyone Else - Interview With Gary Vaynerchuk Sitting down with Gary Vaynerchuk is like sitting down with a friend you have not seen in years.
