Candace Sjogren is a proven leader with significant experience in GTM strategy, sales, corporate fundraising, business development and marketing.
 In 2012, Candace co-authored the legislation that became the JOBS Act, and recently published her first book, “Typhoon Honey, the only way out is through.” This interview delves into her spiritual, emotional and diverse Lifestyle. We discussed about “breaking open” moments. We speak about her differentiating between Growth that is strategic and growth that is soul-level?
Other topics internal resistance, deep personal evolution often in people who are on the brink of transformation.
This episode goes deep. Candace’s life has completely shifted and up leveled over the course of the last year. She has transformed every aspect into her dream life, as she’s guided herself through her own unique growing body of work. 
Since April she has stepped back from a job that wasn’t feeling aligned anymore… and she just accepted a new job that actually reflects her values. She has totally deepened in Love in her Marriage with her beautiful husband. . She wrote a book (coming out soon! Called “Polyagony” 😉)

Mimi Tallo Be Heard Empower Yourself

I have a passion for empowering others through my words and actions. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I always had a fire in my spirit and a zest for life. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Services from the University of Scranton, which ignited my passion for helping others.
I survived an alcoholic father and two abusive marriages and still managed to succeed.
Throughout my career, I have worn many hats, from a Living Skills Facilitator guiding adults with traumatic brain injuries and cerebral palsy to a Women's Liaison at the Lackawanna County Drug Court, where I championed justice and compassion. As the Director of Community Resources at Golden Lakes Village Love in Action, I wove connections and fostered a community of love and collective action.
My books include "Raised by Wolves Trapped by Demons," "Unearthing My Irish Roots," and "Surviving Your Demons." I am currently working on my fourth book, Anatomy of an Alien”. I continue to try and inspire and empower through my writing, podcast and YouTube show “Be Heard Empower Yourself”, speaking engagements, and social media presence.
I am already published on Amazon and Audible in English and Spanish.
I would like an agent to help me expand my presence in the field of non-fiction writing.
