Thank you to the many people who have stood for my leadership even when I didn’t see myself as a leader. To my extraordinary children, thank you for being my partners in creating a world that works for everyone! Mom, I have been forever blessed and shaped by your servant leadership. Mom and Dad, no words could fully express my gratitude to both of you for being the source of my life and my capacity to love. The size of my heart is the direct result of your example! To my love, anything and everything at any time, always!

~ Amber Howard

I’ve been through a lot, but I know that each day can bring miracles.  With that sentiment in mind, I dedicate this book to those who are determined to find their way, whether it’s in business, career, life, parenting, self-esteem, and on and on the list can go.  But I also dedicate this book to my mother, who taught me to be strong, my ex who believed in me and still does, and my children (Amber and Luke) who have been my inspiration and fuel through the tough days and long nights.

~ Angelica Angie Monet

To Tomi! Because of your love and support, I’ve been able to Be My Best! You are the Best thing that’s ever happened to me. Thanks for Showing Up in my life! I love You! YBLBE.

To the thousands of people who have trusted me with your health care: from the star athletes to the moms and dads of all the babies and everyone in between, it’s been a privilege serving you and being allowed to help you along your path to Health and Wellness. THANK YOU for Your Trust!

To my PTW’s ~ We few, we happy few, we band of brothers and sisters…I stand at your shoulder, you at mine. We stand together and as one. Always there, never forgotten. Many, many THANKS! 

Thanks to Bo & Dawn, Jeffrey, Kristen, Colleen, Mary, Dr. Joan, Greg, Todd, and Jean-Louis (my favorite animal trainer!). Without this resolute Team, this would not have happened. You’re the Best, Goddamn it!

~ Joyce E. Perrin

Cole, Kristin, Mom, Dad, Kim, Tom, and Morgan – thank you for listening to my millions of questions and for sometimes having answers. I love you.

Uncle JP – thank you for being the ultimate PB and sounding board. I could not have done this without you.

Lolo, Cars, Jules, Bridget, Natalie, Alyssa, Keana – thank you for believing in me, challenging me, and pushing me to do the dang thing, especially when the imposter monster comes around. You all inspire me to keep going.

~ Meredith Yinger

I would like to thank everyone who has always been there for me and stood by my side.

~ Sara Ruda

To my mom and dad, who have taught me to channel the insane amount of energy I had as a child into something productive in life- to use my ‘powers for good and not evil’.  They have believed in and supported me more than most parents in the history of ever.

To my amazing best friend and husband, who again sees my ambition as an asset and not a threat and believes in me more than I do myself somedays.

And to my once-in-a-lifetime standard poodle, Brûlée Estella, and American quarter horse mare, East Bound Jet, both have kept me sane on days I didn’t think it was possible.  

⁓ Sarah Kelsey

My love, you are the best decision of my life. Thank you for being a great friend, life partner, and father to our kids. Throughout the ups and downs of life, you are always there for me and, most importantly, believe in me. Thank you to my parents and mum-in-law for being great support systems for us. The journey of my life has made me a stronger and resilient woman, more appreciative, and always look for positivity in each person and things that I came across to with gratitude.

⁓ Ts. Dr. Savita KS
