Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and overworked? You have to get fed up and learn the value of ranting! The first step to your dream life is learning to put yourself first… at least some of the time! Our brains need breaks in order to be more productive in less time and also for creativity.
After spending 23 years in silence regarding a failed suicide attempt, Deana lost a friend and colleague to suicide. She felt called to speak up and wondered if her voice could have saved her friend and others… hence the Realize Foundation and Scars to Stars™ was born!
