Taylor Jopling is a personal trainer and co-owner of Tribe 31 Training. She attended ULM for 3 years and then found her passion for personal training after helping her college friends in the gym. After finding her passion for women's personal training and nutrition coaching, she never looked back! Taylor has been training full-time for 6 years now. Taylor is married to her husband, Johnny, and a mom to her son, Shep.

Taylor and her business partner, Jo Ellen Gilliland, have created a positive space for women to achieve their goals in a group setting. Their mission is to equip women with strength in all seasons of life through physical, mental, and spiritual training. They provide coaching, consistency, & community to women of all ages which has led to more confident & empowered women.

Taylor believes every woman is on a journey, whether it's in the gym, at work, with family, or pursuing dreams.

Just like training requires discipline, achieving goals in life takes dedication. She wants to help women bring the gym mentality into their everyday lives, helping them unleash their inner strength and resilience.

Jo Ellen Gilliland is from West Monroe, LA where she resides with her two rescue pups Maggie and Zo. She is a former first grade teacher of 8 years at Drew Elementary.

She believes that all women are training for something in and out of the gym. It might be education, career, family, or a dream. Just like physical training requires discipline, strength, and sacrifice so does accomplishing those goals. She seeks to help women bring that same mindset from the gym into their everyday life so they can embrace their own Wonder Woman.

Dr Glenn spent many of those years researching emotions and studying how the brain fires when we experience them. This led him to discover what is causing couples to disconnect and it was Phyllis who turned it around to find what causes couples to connect- now known as the Connection Codes.

There are a lot of thought leaders currently teaching about identifying emotions. BUT what do you do with the emotion after you identify it? Dr Glenn & Phyllis have the answer. They have witnessed couples who had signed divorce papers reunite, they have seen incomes double, health diagnosis reversed, and sexless marriages experience joy in sex. All through using their system.

They are on a quest to share the Connection Codes with the world.

It is based in the science of the human condition. When doing his research Dr Glenn studied the behaviors of infants and children. He realized we all have these tools built in, we were simply reprogramed along the way. He & Phyllis are now helping people get back to their core and live connected.

She is a wife, a mom to 4 teenage daughters, a retired homeschool parent and an adventure chaser. She has a background in biology and psychology from humpbacks to humans and years of personal, family and faith leadership development. She believes the best way to change the world is through one living room at a time!

Dr. Sullivan began his formal psychology education at Harvard University and completed it with a psychology residency at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center and postdoctoral training based at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He has since been featured extensively in national and international publications including The New York Times, Forbes, and Huffington Post, to name a few.

Dr. Sullivan’s clinical research focuses on applying technology to improve mental health — particularly by teaching anyone how to shift their state of mind on demand. As a psychotherapist for over twenty years, he also wrote popular psychology books and articles and created countless digital mental health, wellness, and peak performance psychology courses, apps, tools, and virtual reality (VR) treatments. 

Based on researching the impact of teaching his patients how to strategically shift their state of mind in a few minutes anytime (i.e. ‘shifting’), Dr. Sullivan developed Shift TherapyTM to guide anyone through shifting into a better state of mind from their smartphone in under 10 minutes anytime.

Demonstrating a major endorsement for shifting, the Regents of University of California approved piloting Shifts at University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) during the pandemic. After two years of successful pilots, UCSC’s Health Center subscribed their entire 20,000+ member community to receive Shifts in 2023.

Dr. Sullivan believes teaching ‘shifting’ is the best way to address the massive US and worldwide mental health and unhappiness crisis we currently face and would love to introduce the concept to your audience.

At Britt Elizabeth Photography, I believe that every moment of your life is epic. We have and do a lot but one thing we never get back is time and photography is the only thing I have found that can at least capture it. Each stage in life, every relationship releases a different emotion and I want to make sure that in every photograph taken, I encapsulate the very essence of you in your story, whatever it may be. Every story should be written and captured in and with its own right. So, yes I am a photographer but I’m also a storyteller who wants to capture you in the realness of you so that when you look back at that moment, you don’t just see it but you also feel it!

My name is Marni Goldman. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida and lived a life that is jaw-dropping and unimaginable – the daughter of an addicted mother who married for money as she’d been instructed to do. In spite of these circumstances, I have survived trauma, diagnosed with many different mental illnesses, yet still made it through alive to share what can be done to survive. My story sounds like fiction: just when you think you’ve heard it all… I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, bipolar II disorder (manic episodes), ADHD, and borderline personality disorder.  To survive in this world where people seem to be so happy all the time is hard enough without having these disorders! In the wake of my own personal crisis, I found a profound sense of peace and self-acceptance. My life changed once I stopped asking myself “Why is this happening to me?” Instead, I began to ask the question “What can I learn from this?” People no longer see me as a victim and instead believe in my strength. The moment I committed to being true to myself, everything changed. Even in the darkest moments, our challenges always grow us and make us more authentic. I hope my story will inspire you as you travel down your own path.”
