Terri says, "When you are in conflict with one of your kids, your spouse, a parent, a friend, or co-worker, it is because you are in conflict with yourself. You are REACTING to a situation based on old beliefs and fears."

Terri's mission is to help you see that every situation or conflict is a gift. She says, "Your conflicts are opportunities for you to recognize your fears and old beliefs so that you may release them and connect to who you truly are and what you really believe. And as you honor and love the authentic you and give yourself permission to stand in your truth, you create a connection to God's love inside of you. It is in this truth that you begin to see others with loving eyes and discover your special gift to share with the world around you."

Terri shares her message with all those she meets. Her message comes from firsthand experiences as a wife, mother and step-mom, and also as a former Miss USA and television host.

Representing the state of Arkansas, Terri won the title of Miss USA in 1982. Then, after studying journalism, she went on to become a writer and field producer for a west coast news station and eventually became a spokeswoman for Mazda.

It was at that time that a new entertainment channel, Movietime, (now known as the E! Channel) was just taking hold in Los Angeles. Soon, Terri was chosen as their news anchor, conducting celebrity interviews and covering such prestigious events as the Academy Awards. Feeling the need to be with her family, Terri left the entertainment industry to be a full-time mother. But it was her father's illness and his ultimate death that became the catalysts for massive changes in her life, career and future.

"I was the son he never had," Terri explains, "and as I watched him unravel, first emotionally, and then physically, I recognized the parts of him that had become parts of me."

Realizing that she had serious anger issues, Terri vowed to undo the behaviors that were affecting her role as a wife and mother. Finding herself without the tools to understand or manage her behavior, she put herself on a no-going-back program of traditional therapy, which led her to a journey of inner excavation and spiritual seeking.

Terri found her passion when she began to study energetic and intuitive healing, meditation, and spiritual consulting at Clearsight, a clairvoyant school in Santa Monica, CA, and then completed their graduate and ministerial programs. During this time of intensive and determined self-work, Terri and her family began to experience a powerfully positive shift in their lives, relationships and family harmony. Buoyed by her emotional growth and encouraged by her family and peers, Terri became a spiritual consultant and coach, and eventually, an author and a teacher.

It was on her path to self-discovery, self-acceptance, and true authenticity that Terri was guided through meditation to share the knowledge she was experiencing first hand in a unique journal that is spiritual, practical, revelatory and prescriptive. Titled, MESSAGE SENT, the book chronicles her day-to-day journey of challenges and healing with love, candor and humor. In addition, she offers the reader the benefit of her insight and inspirations and shares the tools she found helpful to herself.

It was Terri's desire for complete authenticity that she finally released her anger and found freedom within herself. And as a result, she won back her family. Now, she has a career in the spiritual and self-help arena, helping and coaching others to retrieve their own winning spirits.
