Have you ever struggled with anxiety or depression?

After years of wrestling with this Ali Skylar found a way out.  In fact she created it.

This interview is Ali’s story of how she had to find a way out of her own personal crisis and lifelong struggle with anxiety.  The result is a funny and profound solution, that will help anyone shift to a better place. As Ali says:

Change the way you do be your day.

Sucky to Soulful: How to Shift from Anxiety and Depression

Ali Skylar is the incredibly gifted creator and queen wordsmith of “Shiftitudes.”  These are powerful and punchy slogans to turn negative thoughts into positive reinforcements, or as Ali says: “Sucky to Soulful!”

You can get Ali’s Shiftitudes FREE on her website, where you will find other entertaining and eloquent content to brighten your day and send you on the way with a smile and a chuckle.

Ali’s is an unintentional comedian, as evidenced by her “on the go course for busy people”, Transforming “Ahh crap!” into “A Wholy Shift!”

Shift happens when we turn struggles into chuckles.

Passionate about helping people easily turn any negative situation and mindset into something uplifting and positive, Ali talks about how she started writing as a way to help her reduce stress and get out of a deep anxiety and depression.  This journey sparked the idea for her soul work. Ali’s is a beautiful story of how magic happens when we turn pain into creativity.

When you find something that works, you want to share it.

When you find a way out of pain in to joy, out of dark into light, out of limitations into infinite possibilities, it’s natural to want o share it, and that’s Ali Skylar.

When Ali heard about Best Boomers and Beyond she reached out to us, because of our shared positive approach to life, and because she’s a baby boomer.  We soon found out she’d already met half of my family!

My husband Coleman, and son Nikolai, met Ali and her son Chaz, at an event called Board Meetings International (BMI) back in 2012.  The two founders of BMI, Jim Sheils and Brian Scrone, are two lifelong best friends with a mission of helping families deepen their connectedness in an often disconnected world.

Ali is funny, witty, and engaging and you’re sure to enjoy this interview as much as we enjoyed learning more about her!  You can also peruse her Best Boomers and Beyond article: “What You See is Not ME!, and visit her site for a smile and a chuckle, and be sure to say “hello”.

AND… to see some of the wonderful programs and books she’s created!  I especially like the Artitudes!

Magic happens when we turn pain into art. What are you transforming today?

And… if you love transformative power of words like Ali does, you might just enjoy this book, Aspire: Discovering Your Purpose Through the Power of Words.  I’m not the wordsmith that Ali is, yet I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  See what you think.
