Shirley Billigmeier Shirley Billigmeier, Owner & Founder of Innergetics Empowering You to Rediscover Joyful Eating Welcome to a world where the joy of eating and living harmoniously awaits. Innergetics is your gateway to a life free from food and weight-related worries, where you can reclaim your time, energy, and overall well-being. Shirley Billigmeier, a visionary and trailblazer in the field of holistic weight loss, founded Innergetics, a revolutionary program that predates the popular trend of mindful eating. With a remarkable track record of working with over 10,000 clients, Shirley has honed and perfected Innergetics into a comprehensive solution that transcends traditional weight loss approaches. Her process goes beyond mere mindful eating, empowering individuals to adopt a conscious and structured approach to their food choices, thereby gaining greater confidence in knowing when to start and stop eating. Central to Shirley’s philosophy is the belief that every individual is born with an inherent wisdom about what to eat and how much, and her mission is to help people rediscover and reconnect with this innate knowledge. The results are not only transformative weight loss but the ability to sustain it without feelings of deprivation or dependence on willpower. Empowering Conscious Eating: The Innergetics Approach At the heart of Innergetics lies the empowerment of conscious eating. Shirley’s approach is not about imposing strict dietary restrictions or quick fixes. Instead, it is a transformative process that guides individuals to become more attuned to their bodies’ signals and innate wisdom. Through a combination of mindful practices, practical tools, and insightful methodologies, Shirley helps her clients build a healthier relationship with food. The Innergetics program fosters a deep understanding of one’s hunger cues, taste preferences, and emotional triggers that influence eating habits. By tapping into these internal eating boundaries, individuals can make informed and self-nurturing food choices, leading to sustainable weight loss and improved overall well-being. The Roots of Shirley’s Mission: A Teacher at Heart Shirley’s journey into the world of holistic weight loss and mindful eating was shaped by her upbringing and early career as a Physical Education and Health teacher. Observing the high levels of anxiety surrounding eating and weight-related concerns among her students, she recognized the need for a more comprehensive and compassionate approach to these issues. Armed with her undergraduate (Bachelor’s) and graduate degrees (Master’s), Shirley embarked on a quest to integrate various fields like nutrition, exercise, psychology, and kinesiology to understand the intricacies of human eating behavior fully. Her unbounded spirit led her on a journey of self-discovery and collaboration, where she embarked on a quest to redefine the boundaries of holistic well-being. Shirley emphasizes that everyone possesses these innate boundaries, but they have simply stopped listening to them. Shirley’s ultimate goal is to guide individuals back to their natural eating patterns, freeing them to live their lives and view food solely as a source of physical energy and enjoyment. In Shirley’s vision, a world exists where individuals no longer waste time and energy on analyzing their eating habits, obsessing over their weight, and restricting their food intake. By removing the anxieties surrounding food and weight issues, Shirley believes that her process can help millions of people worldwide achieve a better quality of life. Innergetics offers a path to redirect that energy towards living one’s best life, embracing a body they love, and listening to the messages from their gut-brain. Shirley Billigmeier’s journey exemplifies the power of passion, persistence, and belief in oneself. The Path to Discovering Eating Boundaries Shirley’s research journey was a revelation. While societal norms focused on complex diets and rigid meal plans, she noticed a rarely discussed yet crucial aspect of eating: hunger. Drawing inspiration from the intuitive eating habits of infants, who instinctively know when to eat, what tastes good to them, and when to stop eating, Shirley realized that hunger should be the primary driving force behind eating decisions. Infants, with over 10,000 taste buds, exemplify the ability to discern suitable foods for their consumption. Shirley firmly believed that all individuals possess this innate ability to regulate their eating boundaries, but the noise of external influences often drowns out these internal cues, leading to disordered eating patterns. From Inner Eating to Innergetics: Unleashing the True Joy of Eating Shirley’s groundbreaking findings culminated in her influential book, “Inner Eating,” which was published in 1991 with a foreword by Dr. Michael Jensen of the Mayo Clinic, lending further credibility to her work. Initially, she believed that providing a few tools would suffice to help readers tune into and understand their hunger signals. However, as she delved deeper into her clients’ struggles, she realized that they needed more than just tools—they needed a moment-to-moment process to navigate their eating behaviors effectively. This process empowered them to view occasions of eating when not hungry as learning opportunities rather than failures. The demand for this transformative information grew exponentially, leading her to speak at the National Convention of Compulsive Eating in 1995, confirming the widespread need for her approach. Driven by a genuine desire to help people rediscover the joy of eating and develop a harmonious relationship with food, she founded Innergetics. Since then, she has witnessed countless success stories from clients who have experienced lasting transformation through her program. Shirley’s painstaking development and refinement of tools have helped clients uncover the various ways they used eating beyond its original purpose—to satisfy hunger. Serving with Integrity: The Coach Certification Process Maintaining the integrity of the Innergetics process is paramount to Shirley. To ensure the highest standard of coaching, her certified coaches must not only understand the process but also live it themselves. Completing case studies and demonstrating a deep understanding of the methodologies is essential for becoming a certified Innergetics coach. With the program now available online, certified coaches from around the world, including South Africa, the UK, Australia, and the US, can provide guidance and support to clients, either through one-on-one sessions or small group settings. Shirley’s vision is clear: she aims to create a world where eating and weight

Drawing from his outlook, Edyta embraces the same mindset and remains open to the endless possibilities that life can bring. From a personal and professional growth standpoint, Edyta looks up to Vishen Lakhiani and his Mindvalley platform which has changed millions of lives. Vishen’s ‘s teachings and philosophies have had a significant impact on her, offering guidance and motivation both in her personal life and professional endeavours. In fact, the conceptualization of her very first business venture, FIT Legal Solutions and the subsequent creation of the Derivatives Lab platform, is a testament to Edyta’s entrepreneurial spirit, which draws inspiration from the insights and principles shared by the Mindvalley tribe.  FIT Legal Solutions is well-renowned to offer a specialist legal and business consultancy, born out of over a decade of the buy-side and sell-side experience. Choosing The ‘Untrodden Path’ Edyta was born and brought up in Poland. She says that witnessing her parents’ unwavering commitment to their family’s future was character shaping and has installed a work ethic and drive in her she is really grateful for today.  Additionally, Edyta observed that the women in her family put forth a tremendous amount of effort despite performing tasks that were stereotyped and limited by socially imposed gender standards. This epiphany spurred her ambition to break out from conventional women’s roles and pursue global chances, carving up a career outside of those restrictions. She was aware that her path would not be without difficulties, and that in order to thrive in a fiercely competitive environment, she would have to adjust and make many sacrifices. After winning a scholarship to study International Relations at the University of Plymouth, Edyta’s career brought her to the UK. On the strength of this, she made the decision to pursue a legal degree and finally obtained sponsorship from the neighborhood law firm Foot Anstey. She completed rotations in a range of legal specialties along the way, including intellectual property, corporate M&A, and family law. Despite the challenges she faced, Edyta’s tenacity paid off when she qualified for commercial litigation, becoming the only woman on the team while challenging gender norms. Having recognized the limitations of the rigid private practice, Edyta discovered her innate entrepreneurial drive. After taking a year off to pursue her passion for travel, she found herself yearning for the dynamic atmosphere of the corporate world, leading her to relocate to London. Drawing from her litigation and corporate background, s Edyta became fascinated by the dynamic nature of a career in the investment banking industry and actively pursued opportunities that piqued her interest. It was during this process that she stumbled upon a niche of lawyers specializing in trading agreements and derivatives negotiations— a distinct type of lawyers with a very unique skillset. As her aspirations took shape, the vision of becoming a legal counsel for a global investment bank became an achievable goal. The Moment of Epiphany With newfound clarity, Edyta decided to enter the derivatives industry, eventually heading up cross-jurisdictional legal derivatives teams for well-known companies like Man Group plc, the biggest listed hedge fund in the world, and Credit Suisse over a period of time. The limitations of the corporate setting, however, only strengthened her resolve to make her own name known in the derivatives industry. Edyta thought the timing was perfect to launch FIT Legal Solutions since she had more than 10 years of practical experience in the legal, banking, and financial sectors. She invested herself in extensive industry study before stepping away from her corporate role in 2019 to better understand the industry, master the trading documentation, and the nuances of successful fund launches from conception to execution. Having built a very strong foundation, she was able to develop a dynamic approach within her professional practice and carve out a unique niche for her firm. With Edyta’s commitment to provide unparalleled services and bespoke approach to clients, FIT Legal Solutions now provides highly personalized business and legal solutions to market players globally.

Dr. Priscilla’s Inception Story Dr. Priscilla Kucer embarked on her remarkable career journey with a clear vision at a young age. At just 13 years old, she shared her dream of becoming a psychologist and owning her own private practice with her parents. Little did she know that her aspirations would later lead her down a path of entrepreneurship and business ownership. Driven by her passion for psychology, Dr. P pursued a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Barbados. During her studies, she also delved into human resources, believing that this combination would pave the way for her future private practice. After graduating from UWI, she continued her educational pursuit at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Florida, aiming to specialize in clinical psychology. However, her path took an unexpected turn as she realized that clinical psychology was not aligned with her true calling. With guidance from her mentors at NSU, Dr. P transitioned to school psychology, completing both a Master of Science in Psychology and a Specialist in School Psychology degree. It was during her time at NSU that she recognized the value of diverse experiences beyond her field, leading her to actively engage in student organizations and gain invaluable skills in leadership, budgeting, marketing, and strategic planning. As Dr. P progressed in her career as a school psychologist, working in various locations including Florida, the Cayman Islands, and Washington, her desire to have her own private practice evolved into a yearning for business ownership. Interacting with individuals who aspired to start their own businesses and witnessing the dreams of talented adolescents, she realized that entrepreneurship was her true calling. Completing her doctorate in General Psychology with an Emphasis in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Grand Canyon University provided Dr. P with a deeper understanding of her entrepreneurial aspirations. It became evident that her business would go beyond a traditional private practice, incorporating elements of industrial and organizational psychology to serve a wider audience. Throughout her entrepreneurial journey, Dr. P experienced directional shifts as she gained new knowledge and experiences, shaping her decision to establish Priscilla Kucer Consulting Solutions LLC®. With a strong belief in learning from others and surpassing their achievements, she harnessed her expertise and developed a clear vision and mission for her business. Today, Dr. Priscilla Kucer stands as a beacon of inspiration, guiding micro-business owners toward their full potential. Her unique blend of psychological expertise and entrepreneurial acumen has made her an award-winning business coach and the driving force behind her globally recognized consulting company. With unwavering determination and a commitment to excellence, Dr. P continues to empower micro businesses, helping them soar to new heights of success. Tackling the Toughest Challenges Dr. Priscilla Kucer has encountered numerous obstacles throughout her career, and while some of them may not be exclusively tied to her gender, they have undoubtedly shaped her journey. One of the initial challenges she faced was the task of defining her business’s focus and identifying the strategies to achieve her goals. This obstacle seemed isolating at first until Dr. Priscilla delved into her competitive advantage research, which provided her with much-needed clarity. Gaining insights into the challenges faced by many start-ups proved to be invaluable and helped her navigate her own path with renewed confidence. Another significant obstacle Dr. P encountered was grasping the concept and application of branding within her business. Initially, the term felt ambiguous, and she sought guidance by networking with marketing professionals and conducting extensive research. Through these efforts, she gained a deeper understanding of branding, enabling her to develop a compelling vision statement and values that resonated with her brand identity. This newfound clarity not only made sense to Dr. P but also resonated with potential clients, vendors, and partners she interacted with. The search for appropriate technology to support her business’s desired processes and operations posed yet another challenge. Dr. P had a clear strategic plan in mind but lacked knowledge of the available
