It’s not mental illness, it’s suicide. - Patti Schmoock | TSPS #017
Friday Oct 16, 2020
Friday Oct 16, 2020
After losing her son to suicide in 2012, Patti went through a 6-year grieving process that brought her to the brink of making a plan to take her own life . . .
“Once I found that plan no longer scared me, I knew I needed to find a way forward. The last thing I wanted to do was put my friends and family through the same ordeal I'd been through.”
Patti found her salvation in Personal Development. She read one book after the other and it wasn't until Patti hired her first coach that she really started to make big changes in her life.
What came out of that relationship lead Patti to her mission and her why:
“I decided to pursue life coaching as a way to help other people find themselves through Connection, Meaning, and Healing and as a measure against Suicide. I believe in having hard conversations with everyone because everyone is susceptible to emotional upheaval and discord and I fully believe in the power of cultivating self-love to heal. I believe the importance of having mental health and emotional well-being conversations in every household cannot be understated. I only wish I had known this when my son was young so I could open the dialogue along with the talks we had about sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.”

Marilyn Gansel wants you to turn what you thought was impossible into the possible!
Tammy Atchley: Have you heard about the number of parents who are totally clueless that their child is being bullied to the point of suicide? This was the lesson Tammy Atchley lived and then re-lived through her daughter. Now Tammy Atchley coaches’ parents on how to spot it, how to talk about it and more importantly, how to prevent it from happening to your child.
Suzanne Margolis-Gray: Suzanne Margolis-Gray has been practicing massage and colon hydrotherapy in the Tampa Bay Area for over 30 years. She has taught internationally and speaks publicly. Her passion is colon hydrotherapy and how the colon interacts with Body/Mind/Spirit. We have the same neurotransmitters in the gUt as we do in the brain and the gUt is the plumbing of your body. How does that affect your thoughts, life and health?
Dr Marny Turvill: Dr. Marny Turvill has been a medical doctor for over 30 years. She was originally a pediatrician, then left medicine for 7 years due to her own sudden and devastating health issues. She’s had her own functional medicine practice, Outside The Pill Box, since 2013. Dr. Marny’s own illness served as a rude awakening to the reality of conventional medicine – it has evolved to manage illness with life-long pharmaceuticals and surgery and has no real tools for restoring health. She now works with adults and children to restore health so that families can thrive rather than being devastated physically, emotionally, and financially by chronic health problems.
Nadine Vernon: Nadine Vernon is a former educator and education administrator who worked in the field for 40 years. She remains passionate about education. Information is empowering. Building relationships that enable people to experience appreciation and personal satisfaction are key components of growth, whether in business or life in general.
