Anna Lindberg Cedar, MPA, LCSW is a Bay Area psychotherapist who specializes in burnout prevention and mood-hacking among changesmakers. She has made it her personal mission to translate these therapy concepts into everyday self-care skills that leaders can use anywhere, anytime. Many of Anna’s burnout prevention strategies are drawn and adapted from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — a counseling style that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other change-based skills with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies to help you lead a more balanced life. Anna received her Master of Science in Social Work and Master of Public Administration from Columbia University, where she completed multiple fellowships in evidence-based therapy trainings. Anna launched the Therapy for Real Life counseling practice, podcast, and speaking series to make research-backed therapy concepts accessible to individuals working outside of the therapy process -- because self-care goes everywhere!

In October 2004 in Mahmoudiya, a city south of Baghdad, Donny was on a night foot patrol conducting vehicle searches. When a vehicle approached to be searched, the driver became irate and sped off. He engaged the squad of Marines with an AK-47 rifle and as Marines are taught, if you have no cover and concealment, make yourself a small target. As Cpl. Daughenbaugh was in the prone position flashes from the muzzle were aimed in his direction. One of those bullets hit Donny in the face, broke his jaw and severely damaged his nerves. His jaw was wired shut to heal the break and the bullet left in place, too close to vital nerves to be removed. Donny Was sent to Landstuhl Germany for weeks of stabilization and additional surgery until he was well enough to be sent home, to see his wife and daughter for the first time since his injury occurred. The bullet has caused considerable damage to his nerves, tongue and neck and is still today, causing more problems but strengthening Donny’s personal commitment to caring for other wounded veterans. He works with The Coalition as the Vice President of Field Operations and as a national spokesperson. His involvement with the Coalition has not only helped Donny in his own recovery, but as an active representative of the organization, Cpl. Daughenbaugh has been able to inspire others through his story of resilience and the positive effects a family can have on one’s recovery. Donny lives in League City TX with his beautiful wife Sarah and their three children Gabby, Kollin, and Everleigh.

LaKeysha Andrews Mattis knows what it is to start from the bottom and rise to the top. She is a native of South Central Los Angeles, a place where positivity was a rare commodity when she was going up. Every day she both witnessed gang violence, drug addiction, bullying, and police brutality. Despite the despair that she faced on a daily basis, she made a choice to rise above the status quo and to push forward to accomplish what seemed impossible. Her grandmother played an instrumental part in her gaining the courage to try to be and do the best she could to reach her highest achievement because every day upon leaving the house to go to school her grandmother would calmly remind her to go to school and make A’s, to not talk to strangers, and that she could do anything that she set her mind to do. Even with all of the negativity and destruction that surrounded Ms. Mattis, the words of her grandmother echoed in her spirit and stayed with her, gave her hope and penetrated her soul to dare to dream that she would one day make it out of the “hood” and be more than a conqueror.

Now, she wishes to share her message and hope to others that you are able to rise from the ashes and rejuvenate, renew, and reinvent yourself. Her message is to inspire you that you too can rise from the ashes...the hardships, heartaches, and trouble that you can sometimes find yourself a part of and that can take you by surprise and leave you in despair. It is her hope that you would allow her to feed your mind, spirit, body, and soul with hope for the future. It is her hope that no matter what the situation, you will be able to find a glimpse of hope and begin to rebuild your life for the better. Her mantra is, “Started from the bottom, now rising to the top, despite all odds still I rise! Be Brilliance!

Lynne Butler is results driven woman and professional, Butler has more than 20 years of experience working with women while developing healing programs and overseeing coaching projects. Lynne began her mission of outreach to women after a devastating divorce and the death of two of her grandchildren. She found that she was afraid of moving forward because she had allowed fear to creep into her spirit. Her thoughts were who was she to think that she was smart enough, bold enough, passionate enough to help anyone. So, she stalled, she fought, she pretended that she was happy with what she was doing. But, she was consistently called by women for advice, coaching and counsel. She tried so hard to run from her purpose, but it always found her, pursued her, wrapped its arms around her heart and it kept tugging. One day she suddenly realized something that shook her to the core. She was failing, miserably and it was by her own doing. She was the only one responsible for her heart, her happiness and fulfilling of her calling. The hindrance was her fear of change, moving into the unknown, being responsible for her own failure or success. Fast forward to 2017, she finally took action she started to research and develop a plan for reaching out to women who needed to be heard, healed and helped. Helping without judgement, guiding without shoving, restoring without shaming. Lynne holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Religion from American Public University, Charles Town, West Virginia.
