Claire Silverstone-Bright is an author, speaker and criminology researcher whose work connects lived experience with public education, justice and rehabilitation. She is the author of A Life Lived Chronically: Memoir of a DES Daughter, a deeply personal account of living with the lifelong consequences of DES exposure and the hidden medical harm carried by women and families across generations. Her writing explores what happens when personal experience meets public silence: when medical harm is poorly understood, when women’s pain is minimised, and when complex lives are reduced to labels. Through her memoir, Claire gives voice to the physical, emotional and intergenerational impact of DES, while also reflecting on family, identity, illness, resilience and the long journey toward self-understanding. Alongside her work on DES, Claire has an academic and professional interest in criminology, rehabilitation and the aftermath of criminalisation. Her wider writing and research examine second chances, desistance, the digital afterlife of convictions, and the ways in which people rebuild identity after adversity. She is particularly interested in how systems can either trap people in the worst chapter of their lives or help them move toward restoration, dignity and contribution. Claire is also developing work around digital rehabilitation, exploring how outdated or uncontextualised online information can undermine reintegration, employment, community belonging and personal recovery. Her approach brings together lived experience, criminological thinking, public policy and a strong belief in compassionate reform. Across her books, articles, public speaking and research, Claire’s work is rooted in one central idea: hidden stories matter. Whether writing about DES, justice, health, trauma or rehabilitation, she seeks to turn silence into understanding and lived experience into meaningful public conversation. Claire R.

Billie Jo Bell is an executive coach, sales and leadership trainer, business consultant, and speaker who helps leaders and business owners solve the problems keeping them stuck. As the founder of The Vantage Consulting Group, Billie Jo works with executives, entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and teams to identify performance gaps, strengthen leadership, improve sales effectiveness, and create practical strategies for sustainable growth. Her work includes one-on-one executive coaching, customized leadership and sales training, business consulting, workshops, and speaking engagements. With a professional background in executive leadership, sales development, team performance, and organizational growth, Billie Jo understands that most business challenges are not caused by a lack of ambition. They are often caused by unclear expectations, weak systems, avoided conversations, inconsistent execution, or leaders continuing to operate in ways that no longer support the results they want. Her approach is direct, practical, and deeply personalized. She helps clients get honest about what is not working, clarify what they want to be true, and work backward to determine the decisions, actions, and accountability required to make it happen. Rather than offering generic motivation, she focuses on helping people translate insight into measurable action. Billie Jo also speaks and writes about leadership, confidence, reinvention, business growth, sales performance, and the internal shifts that often happen before an external change becomes visible. Her work explores what it means to lead through uncertainty, recognize when an old way of operating is no longer effective, and build the systems and support needed to move forward before everything feels certain. Her mission is to help capable people stop circling the same problems, make clearer decisions, and become the leaders their next level requires.

Cecilia’s passion for health began early, growing up in a Latin American immigrant family where food was a central expression of love. However, like many, she saw how ultra-processed foods led to unhealthy lifestyle shifts, driving her to make intentional choices to prevent chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Her perspective deepened while living in Brazil, where she faced personal health challenges and embraced a slower, more mindful approach to wellness. Applying her background in public health and nutrition, she transformed her own health through simple yet powerful habits: movement, meditation, whole foods, and stress reduction. This journey ignited her commitment to health coaching. Cecilia later pursued an MBA in Spain, determined to build a business that merged her passion for lifestyle medicine with impactful patient care. That vision led her to partner with John Dieser, founder and CEO of Terra Health Coaching, to integrate health coaching into the Direct Primary Care model. Together, they bridge the gap between doctors' offices and patient homes, empowering individuals to create lasting change. Every patient success story reaffirms Cecilia’s belief in the power of health coaching—meeting people where they are, honoring their unique journey, and helping them realize their highest wellness potential. This is the mission of Terra Health Coaching, transforming lives through sustainable, patient-centered care.

Jenna McDonough is a meditation and mindfulness teacher, children’s book author, emotional regulation specialist, sound healer, and Reiki Master dedicated to helping people of all ages live more peaceful, present, and heart-centered lives. She works with adults and children to recognize, understand, and move through their emotions using tools such as meditation, mindfulness activities, somatic resets, breathwork, and sound and energy healing. Known for her trauma-sensitive approach, Jenna ensures that every product, service, and session she offers supports healing in a safe, accessible way, helping individuals move forward without the fear of triggering a trauma response. Believing that emotional regulation is the foundation for a kinder world, her mission is simple yet powerful: to make the world a nicer and more compassionate place, one meditation at a time. With a lifelong devotion to children’s well-being, Jenna has spent her entire adult life in service to young people, as a nanny, elementary school teacher, ESE teacher, tutor, and parent. Through these experiences, she witnessed firsthand how heavily education focuses on academics like reading, writing, and math, while often overlooking the essential skills of emotional awareness and regulation. Determined to bridge that gap, she began creating resources that meet children and families where they are–accessible, practical, and trauma-sensitive, designed to fit into daily life regardless of time, location, or circumstance. For adults, Jenna offers self-paced Meditation and Healing Arts courses, a meditation audio library via her app PEACEFUL: Mindful Moments for Every Age, as well as one-on-one support through her lifestyle design program. She also creates custom meditations tailored to individual needs and facilitates transformative healing sessions through meditation and sound baths, specializing in restoring balance and moving stuck energy in a safe, supportive environment. Each of these offerings reflects her commitment to making holistic healing and emotional well-being approachable, sustainable, and sensitive to the unique journeys of each person she works with. For children and caregivers, Jenna is the founder of PEACEFUL: Mindful Moments for Every Age, which includes Peaceful Kids, a first-of-its-kind emotional regulation resource designed to empower children aged 3-17. The app provides guided meditations, mindfulness activities, breathwork, somatic resets, and binaural beats to help kids navigate mornings, bedtimes, transitions, and every emotion in between. With age-specific, color-coded resources and caregiver support videos, Peaceful Kids ensures that children can safely and confidently integrate emotional regulation practices at their own developmental level. Jenna’s passion for literacy, emotional well-being, and kindness inspired her debut children’s book, Kind Kids: The Adventures of Hurley, Pearl, and the Pink Soldiers of Kindness. Blending her teaching background and healing arts expertise, the book weaves storytelling with practical emotional regulation techniques and encourages children to spread kindness through her Soldiers for Kindness Initiative. Through her multifaceted work–as a healer, educator, author, and innovator–Jenna McDonough continues to provide transformative, trauma-sensitive tools that nurture emotional intelligence, resilience, and compassion. Her work stands as a testament to the belief that when people learn to regulate their emotions in safe and supportive ways, they not only improve their own lives but also help create a kinder, more peaceful world for everyone.
