Interview with Chiropractor, athlete and cancer survivor, Dr Sharon Pedersen.
Dr Sharon Pedersen is the founder of Corrective Chiropractic Bellarine. Sharon is a passionate vitalistic chiropractor that has run her own successful chiropractic practice in Clifton springs Australia for nearly 28 years.
Helping people live their best life through optimising their mobility, and spinal health through all stages of life has been a major focus in all her years of practice. She is passionate about appreciating and continuing to learn more ways to enhance the body’s innate ability to heal itself naturally.
In 2003, age 31 , as a mum of a 3 year old and 18 month old girls, Sharon had a miscarriage with her 3rd baby and was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Sharon was challenged mentally, emotionally and spiritually, as well as physically beyond anything ever before. Sharon knew her body would be able to heal itself without intervention. She wasn’t certain of the path, but knew she would find it. Resourcefulness is one of her strongest attributes and she knew her gut instinct was the right path.
20 years later, Sharon is cancer free and at her peak with health and fitness.
Sharon is passionate about fitness and experiencing life to the fullest. She is a competitive track-and-field masters athlete and holds multiple state and national records including, the National record for the 2000 metre Steeple Chase for women in the 45- 49 age group which ranked her 2nd in the World for that event.

Interview with stage 3 kidney cancer holistic survivor, Rob Prior
In January 2013, author and musician Rob Prior experienced his worst nightmare when he was diagnosed with late Stage 3 cancer. The CT-scans showed he had a 6.5cm tumour in his right kidney. As if that wasn’t bad enough, his liver was seriously damaged and he was on death’s doorstep.
The specialist recommended immediate surgery, but Rob decided not to rush into it. Then came the difficult decision on whether to put his faith in modern medicine or holistic healing protocols.
Fortunately, he had the guidance of some remarkable people. An integrative practitioner with a good track record, a gifted emotional healer, a brilliant naturopath and a community of people who had successfully healed themselves of cancer holistically.
Combining his scientific background and intuition, he pieced together the jigsaw puzzle and came to the conclusion that the human body is an extraordinary self-healing organism.
Rob made profound changes to his diet, lifestyle and mindset, and adopted a wide range of detox protocols. Thirteen months later he was in perfect health. His kidney tumour was gone and his liver was in perfect condition. Now almost 10 years since his diagnosis, Rob’s health is better than ever.
Not only that, but Rob also experienced a remarkable personal, emotional and spiritual transformation.
Rob's book, The Healing Power of Cancer is an inspiring blow-by-blow account of how Rob cured himself of cancer in 2013.

The need for drama
“A rumor is a social cancer: it is difficult to contain and it rots the brains of the masses. However, the real danger is that so many people find rumors enjoyable. That part causes the infection. And in such cases when a rumor is only partially made of truth, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where the information may have gone wrong. It is passed on and on until some brave soul questions its validity; that brave soul refuses to bite the apple and let the apple eat him. Forced to start from scratch for the sake of purity and truth, that brave soul, figuratively speaking, fully amputates the information in order to protect his personal judgment. In other words, his ignorance is to be valued more than the lie believed to be true.”

“Sometimes you need something to shake you up, to wake you up”
“Sometimes you need something to shake you up, to wake you up” - Janelle Johnston
The last couple of years have definitely opened my eyes to the world we live in.
In challenge, there are always many learnings to be had if you are open to them.
Here are some of mine:
Human Connection
Support your community
Government – Do not always have your best interests at heart
Laws – Be aware of new laws before they are passed
Power of the media
Everyone’s an expert until they are not
Manipulation of information – Our community is easily programmed.
Upgrade your beliefs
Culture can easily be changed
Have you woken up yet? Will we ever be completely awake?
Mindset Manipulation
"Stand guard at the door of your mind." - Tony Robbins
NLP Master Coach JJ explores the manipulation process that has the capacity to program people's minds often without them being consciously aware.
"Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction." - Criss Jami

Interview with Founder of Eco Tan, Sonya Driver
Sonya’s world was turned upside down when her husband called and said the marriage was over. She was suddenly abandoned, unemployed and living in a run-down house. Sonya was left to raise her girls alone. To add to a dire situation, her gentle-spirited sister was diagnosed with a melanoma. In an attempt to lift her faith and be a strong, positive influence over her fragile sister, Sonya began a new life.
She got up from the ground and spent two weeks volunteering in East Timor, where she fed hungry children and comforted the sick. She shampooed the hair of women who had never before had their hair washed. After two weeks living in a desolate village with little food or water, Sonya was distracted from her grim situation at home. Surrounded by people who had nothing, she was able to put her situation in perspective.
Sonya returned to the Gold Coast determined to make a positive change and support her sister, whose cancerous growth had been cut from her arm, leaving a horrible scar.
Still wanting to get a tan without the risk of harmful UV rays, they sought the next best thing. Sonya and her sister began getting regular spray tans together but soon became concerned about the ingredients they were constantly covering themselves with. Sonya began to research the ingredients used by many different brands, regardless of their claims. She says it only took her a few minutes to decide not to use their products anymore. After all, our skin is our largest organ, and much of what we put on it is absorbed into our bloodstream.
Sonya started buying in samples of cacao, flower essence, chamomile and all things natural and organic and started mixing batches out of her tiny kitchen in her Currumbin house.
In 2011, Eco Tan made Australian history by becoming the first and only tanning manufacturer to be certified organic by the Organic Food Chain under the Australian government.
“I want to encourage women that no matter how dark your world turns, never give up and know you are worthy, strong and have value!” – Sonya Driver
