Aubree Munro Watson - My USA Olympic Softball Journey

"I played professional softball with Team USA and a couple of different pro organizations from 2016 to 2021. Playing in the Olympics has been my dream since I was 10 years old and I had the honor of living out that dream at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where we won the silver medal. I played at the University of Florida from 2013-2016 - Go Gators! It was there that I found my identity in Jesus Christ. Let me tell y'all, that has been the biggest game-changer of MUH LIFE!  I retired from the game I love in February of 2022 with a heart full of peace and gratitude for the journey I went on.

Sophie Kietzmann - Filling the Gap in Visual Representation

"I’m a Berlin-born, Brussels-raised, gender-fluid, queer photographer that currently resides and creates in New York City. So far, my path in photography has taken me through play, trauma, uprooting, coming out, identification, and spirituality and has taught me precious lessons about the visual representation of marginalized groups, gender expression, and the fragility of social constructs.  Through my work, I look for an intricate connection with each of my subjects. I explore social and personal topics such as sexuality, tokenism, and identity with the aim to guide my audience’s perspective and awaken awareness within their personal perception. Through this, I hope to not only evoke the observation of a subject but the deeply personal involvement of the observer. Since I was 7 years old I have strived for alignment of my head, eye, and heart through the tool of my craft." https://www.sophiekietzmann.com/ [https://www.sophiekietzmann.com/] Exhibitions: ”Pink Matter” 2022, YSL Store Paris & LA ”Just Women” 2022, Imagination Paris "Les Nouveau Romantiques" 2021, Galerie No. 8, Paris    “All in This Together” Photo Vogue Festival 2020, Milan     "When Ethics Meets Aesthetics" Vogue Italy 2018, Milan "Anaesthetics" BTK 2018, Berlin

Anne Scottlin - From Homeschool to Hollywood to Entrepreneur

"I’ve been a professional in the industries of personal empowerment and emotional well-being for over a decade. But I’ve found that even the best teaching falls flat if the higher self isn't brought into the equation. I know, because the same thing happened to me. And I went on a convoluted life journey and inner pilgrimage to reconnect to my higher self and vision on a transformational scale. Now I use my academic, professional, and life experience to teach personal empowerment through a meta mindset and connecting to your untapped inner resources.  As part of this restoration, I teach methods built on neuroscience to support the brain’s ongoing receptivity. My integrated system activates a dynamic rewiring of the whole self-experience. And I love sharing it! In 2021, I established The Power of Joy Institute—a collaborative educational enterprise with a global mission. My vision is to provide innovative emotional and spiritual wellness training through customized programs for individuals, groups, and organizations. I also serve as a consultant and board member for various companies in the corporate wellness industry. I am a frequent guest on talk radio and have an extensive list of TV credits. My weekly Podcast, #ScottlinTalks, airs on both video and audio platforms [https://www.annescottlin.com/newsmedia]. My social media platforms also receive millions of views monthly with high engagement. My fully illustrated personal empowerment book, Live for Joy, is an Amazon best-seller containing 12 chapters and 280 pages. Read more here. [https://www.annescottlin.com/book] In support of emotional health for kids, my children’s book The Chair of Joy will be released in late 2022. My newest book on personal empowerment and spiritual wellness is scheduled for release in 2023, so stay tuned!"
