"Every time we empower, give permission, facilitate, support, and celebrate each others talents, we make it easier for women everywhere to take the courageous step of singing the song of their own truth. We have solutions. We have brilliant ideas. We have outstanding talent. Now is the time for women to do together what we cannot do alone."
~Shawn Tuttle
We are thrilled to feature three extraordinary women at Passion Into Action who will lead workshops around living your best life and Taking Care of You. Through their own personal triumphs, Shawn Tuttle, Carole Carson, and Sonika Tinker are transferring their success stories in ways of tools, exercises and support systems.
Carole Carson is presenting the workshop, Fitness Made Simple: Three Steps to a Healthier You. When Carole Carson tipped the scale at 182 pounds with a 5 foot-one inch frame, Carole took the initiative to change her lifestyle and regain her health. The success of her fitness transformation was based on getting fit along with others, changing her eating habits, and having fun.
Carole's experience inspired the creation of the Community Meltdown, which was featured in the media worldwide. Following the success of the event she wrote the book, From Fat to Fit: Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction so that others might choose to get fit in their own communities. Carole was named "An Apostle for Fitness" by The Wall Street Journal and has been seen on NBC's Today Show, CBS's Early Show, and MSNBC's Countdown.
She hopes that participants take away three principles that guide her work with individuals and communities. She's summarized them in the acronym FIT:
F: Fun. Find fun ways to exercise that made you feel like a kid again. Find foods that you enjoy eating that won't pack on pounds.
I: Individualized. Design a way to eat and a way to exercise that are appropriate for your age, habits, locale, preferences, budget, medical issues, resources and so on. Make sure they are just right for you so you can sustain them indefinitely.
T: Team. Team up with others. Don't try to reach your goals on your own. You will need supporters-getting fit on your own is too difficult, perhaps impossible. Plus, giving your teammates a helping hand when they need support will reaffirm your own commitment.

Relationship guru, Sonika Tinker inspires the best in each of us and the best in our most sacred relationships. She is presenting the workshop, The Possibility of Relationship!
Following a battering relationship when she was 18 years old Sonika had an awakening experience and made the decision that she was going to take 100% responsibility and learn how to consciously create a loving, mutually empowering relationship.
Sonika Tinker, MSW, is a Relationship Expert, Transformational Coach, Certified NLP ProfessionalTM, Certified Enneagram Teacher, National Speaker and Author of Seize Your Opportunities: Living a Life Without Limits. She is the Founder of LoveWorks, a relationship training company and has over 30 years experience helping couple and singles shift the current relationship paradigm from blame and resignation to joyful, expansive, delightful co-creation. She is recognized for her deep loving presence, her authentic, candid honesty, her laser insight, cutting-edge content and practical tools for change. She works with her husband, Christian Pedersen, offering experiential relationship trainings and customized coaching sessions.
Sonika hopes that the biggest take-away for participants in her workshop is that they will be "inspired by how much power they have to consciously create relationships that are uplifting and fulfilling. They will see that what they think they want is not what they REALLY want, what they are upset about is not what they are upset about, and what they do to improve their relationships makes them worse. They will discover a brand new way to view themselves and their partners that opens a new possibility for relating."

Shawn Tuttle a.k.a. Simplifier, reminds us that as we take care of the world we must also take care of ourselves in order to lead the best life possible. She is presenting the workshop How to Kick Ass Without Kicking Your Own Ass.
In her 20s Shawn often found herself giving in to others vision and wanting so badly to do the right thing instead of the wrong thing that she often did nothing. A year and a half later she abandoned old habits and beliefs and reconnected with her dream with the realization that we each hold the answers to realize our "best life".
She is now the Super CEO of Project Simplify, a company that helps people be their best and get stuff done. Drawing on her experiences as an Organizer, Productivity Coach, Yoga practitioner, and sauerkraut maker she writes a column for the Nevada City Advocate, publishes The Simplifier bi-weekly newsletter, leads workshops, and works with clients one-on-one. Shawn's work is guided by her passion for connecting the light of inspiration to the practicalities of daily living. The result is a way of life captured by the name of her program: The Natural Professional.
Shawn hopes the biggest take-away for participants is "whether we are clear on what our individual purpose is or not, it's important to make space and take time to nurture it. As a Simplifier, I understand that the best way to grow our purpose is to be practical about creating a life that honors it. When the rubber hits the road, we consider: "Do my daily routine, commitments and workflow support my vision?" My intention is for attendees to be inspired to nurture their own personal vision and to identify several practical ways to root that commitment in a healthy way. Doing this will enable them to have even greater impact in their projects while still having quality time for themselves and their loved ones."
