Amelie Gerard shares her story of how she and her family are changing the way people work out and get healthy in Flagler Beach, FL. Amelie and her family successfully created a huge networked work out family of over 4,000 participants in Canada. After fleeing Canada to escape repressive politics related to COVID, they chose Florida for their next adventure. So far, Amelie and her family have begun to create a fitness community and it's free.. Free work outs, free nutrition seminars and their central meet up location is Beachfront Nutrition on A1A and 7th Street in Flagler Beach, FL. People of all levels are meeting up for free Saturday morning beach work outs, then they flock to Beachfront Nutrition to buy a nutritional shake or energy tea. It is a great idea and many are happy to support the new family by buying a shake in return for a community where accountability is created and lives are changed. Amelie was an insurance claim adjuster, but was getting burnt out. She was pregnant with her second child when she chose to change her life. She was 24 at the time and only high school graduate because of a major learning disability. She was always into sports fitness nutrition so it just made sense to start a journey in that field. She started her own business at the age of 24 and the main mission was to help moms feel alive and good in their skin again by starting a movement of baby mama trainings. By the age of 28 she was able to build a team of 4,000 people, mostly women in the area. When covid hit she decided to move to Florida, to get their freedom back. They all came and work together; her husband, ex-husband, his wife and their three kids.  Join a new movement here in Florida.

L.L. Kirchner shares her story as the author of Blissful Thinking, a sweeping story of the search for nirvana that took L.L. Kirchner from university halls in the Persian Gulf to the streets of Manhattan to a sex cult in India. Between her family’s gym and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner felt grounded in physical and spiritual wellness. Then her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone.   To avoid a return to her addictions the author tries yoga, meditation, chanting — all the things meant to cultivate bliss and regain trust in the universe. Each brings some relief, but her search for the answer outside herself ignores the fact that her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until she discovers the gift her mother had always  given her — hope. Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical  honesty — and a second date. An award-winning screenwriter and author of the forthcoming Blissful Thinking, L.L. Kirchner's first memoir, American Lady Creature, was named one of Bustle's "11 Books to Battle the Blues." She's a live on-air host on the Home Shopping Network, & runs a live, monthly storytelling show, True Stories. Her writing can be found in The Washington Post, The Rumpus, and Salon among many others. She lives in Florida with her dog Hartley and her favorite husband. More at www.LLKirchner.com.
