Mother of six children who are all now wonderful parents . Learning to value motherhood . Learning about The Pleasure Ladder . How The Pleasure Ladder can provide a clear understanding for mothers about what brings lasting pleasure in life . How the children's books I write help children's souls to shine - healthy living, disabilities, personal safety, cultivating spirituality and gratitude in children As a mom of 6 littles, she looked successful on the outside, but her soul was starving. Struggling with eating disorders and felt that life wasn’t worth living. Until she went to Israel for a 6-week break. She believes her first son made an intense taker into a giver. The best self-care is exercising your gratitude muscles. I'm the author of 40 books that help children's souls shine and one memoir for adults about overcoming food addictions joyfully and spiritually.

Even in his earliest memories, the concept from the Spider-Man comic books of "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" resonated with Mark Leslie Lefebvre. It might have been because he self-identifies with the meek and nerdy Peter Parker; because it definitely wasn’t an affinity to spiders. He’s still deathly afraid of them. Not to mention the dark. But despite not ever having any power, he always took that responsibility seriously.
Mark fell in love with storytelling and with writing and followed that dream with an unwavering conviction.
Along the way, he learned to embrace rejection, failure, false starts, and loss as stepping stones on the larger journey. At the age of 45, his near 20-year relationship and marriage ended with the wife and mother of his only child saying she no longer loved him. Shortly after, he was faced with an insurmountable brick wall in the corporate world which he was forced to leave and he had to re-invent himself as an entrepreneur.
In a short time period, he rebuilt his personal and professional life from scratch, while further exploiting the desire to share stories and to use his powers, which he realized were there all along, to help others.

I was a hyperaware child - intelligent and creative I first remember extreme depression at 13 - probably not a coincidence, hello hormones - dysfunctional childhood, but out of respect to mum, will frame as I took in data that didn't serve me
The shrink says that's probably when bi-polar triggered. I remember thinking there had to be better options out there - highly imaginative, evidence of slight mania in hindsight. Chaotic work experience - never lasted more than two years, always motivated by avoiding depression, and growth, as well as whatever I was passionate about - I never made it through university - just didn't have the ability to persevere back then.
Some jobs - customs officer, actor, copywriter, alternative radio station, voice-overs, animal welfare officer, swim school admin, realtor, wanted to be a funeral director at one point, tv & film production course, music magazine, sales, museum event coordinator, Tokyo newspaper, English to Japanese children using drama, HMV DJ,
compulsive - went to London to follow a relationship and avoid depression caused by self-sabotaging choices and a ton of shame - fell in love with a woman, still in love with a couple of others, depression really bad, only stopped from doing self-harm by my sister, was hospitalized
I took off to Tokyo on a whim with a drag queen, ended up working for the Japanese mafia then Iranians selling jewelry on the street, hostess clubs, etc. - depression always threatening, shame, shame, shame, self-medicated with alcohol - got sober in Tokyo
back in NZ, culture shock, BUT was finally diagnosed as super high IQ (yay) and BIPOLAR!! always fascinated by psychology, what makes people succeed and how to help, plus creative, natural coach & marketer Over two decades in peer-supported recovery, mentor-ship, and facilitator for change. I always loved clothes and seen their connection to the life you want, (or in your case, nudity) and being a realtor helped me create my method as well. epiphany in Hawaii created a method in three days., beta tested, amazing results
Moved to the USA at 46, started my own business at 48. passionate about women making money to have agency and create change - and it starts with your clothing - like it or not, you feel more confident when you feel you look great and in alignment with who you are. authentic, congruent, honest - no shame, loving your body and empowered to act, you are your message - attraction, not promotion .
also, you are never too old. important to invest in yourself. Married for the first time at 48. no kids - didn't trust myself to be a mother, then found out couldn't, glad I don't. I have a ton of young women in my life I love as well as other children, there is still a stigma around not having kids, but it's lessening I think.
most painful? still terrified of depression, feel I am a part-time human, SAD, imposter syndrome, hypnotherapy helps, so does medication, exercise, it's a daily challenge,
finally getting #woke at 52.

Marketing wise, you did great YouTube numbers with me. I have a twist in porn addiction. Since we talked last, I have a new book that includes a theory that 2020 will become known as the year that a new branch of porn addiction began: addiction for porn producers. Did you know well over 1 million young men and women started producing porn at home for sale in 2020? My research shows it’s not about the money. It’s about the same things that drive pornography viewers: Dopamine. You’ve got daughters in this age group as do millions of people. What if they’re making porn behind your back?
