Airing LIVE every Thursday night at 8pmCDT/9pmEDT  Tuning in to Second Chances is like coming home to warm, fresh-baked cookie smells, a hug from grandma, or an enthusiastic tail-wagging greeting from your dog. You will find compassion, understanding, and a genuine appreciation for you as the listener.

Second Chances, hosted by Midge Noble, a Licensed Professional Counselor, will affirm you where you are, inspire you to be the type of person you would want your kids to become, and challenge you to think outside the box. Midge will offer her unique and witty approach as she gives expert advice in current topics related to children's issues, animal advocacy, and information that can improve our minds, body, and spirit.

I am excited about the path we are about to take together and I value the time we will share. So take a deep breath, open your heart, open your mind, and join me every Thursday, 8p.m CDT/ 9p.m. EDT. Let's have some fun!

Rachel's Book, Stepping Into More is a must read!

Life is meant to be lived with purpose. Before Rachel Karu could speak, she longed to be a singer and performer. But like all of us, Rachel was born with Gremlins- inner voices that hate change and demand the staus quo. These perpetual tapes clung to her mind like shackles threatening to derail her at every turning point. At the lead of Rachel's gang was the toughest of them all: Perfectionism. In STEPPING INTO MORE: Lessons from a Recovering Perfectionist, Rachel details her personal journey of wrangling and ultimately co-existing with her Gremilins. We are born with strengths and development areas. Our goal is to create a fulfilling life and we all need some guidance along the way. Intended as a tool, this guide offers support as you grapple with your own Gremlins and higher self, so that you learn how to make clear, conscious choices that lead to a wonderful, expansive life. Rachel's story and the reflective questions at the end of each chapter are designed to serve as a stepping stone for you to reconnect to and honor your passions, values, and dreams.

Ally Thomas & Gary Hall

Southern Tails Dog School & Randolph SPCA

Ally started her professional dog training career in 1976 in Norwalk, Ct. Her career has taken her to Stamford, CT, Freeport L.I.. NY,  San Diego CA, Uniondale, NY, and eventually 20 something years ago to Asheboro, NC.   Gary and Ally are not only connected romantically, but share a common vision of creating a unique, one of a kind dog school. They wanted their school to be a very special place. It needed to be comfortable yet stimulating, a place where you could spend quality time with your canine companion(s) to learn, play, practice and  and most of all create new ideas of educating the public.  They also wanted to support their local shelter and rescue groups by hosting educational and fundraising projects. 

Ally's dog training skills combined with Gary's expertise of business and construction along with lots of incredible enduring hard work has turned their vision into a reality.

Rory, our Belgian Laekenois is the love of their lives.  He completely shares their existence and keeps them well grounded.  Recently they imported his niece, ‘Cote' from Sweden, Kennel Vajert.  She has brought fun, laughter and more wonderful love into our lives.

Ally teaches all the 101, 102, and canine acting  classes.  She is available for private instruction for obedience, acting and most canine behavior issues.  Please call her for more information if you would like private lesson instruction.

Most recently, in order to fulfill their mission of supporting the community and making sure that all adoptable animals are given a second chance, Ally & Gary filed for non profit status and formed the Randolph SPCA.  They are supported by community leaders and community members in an effort to save the lives of well deserving animal companions.

Dian Reid, CPCC, Author and certified professional life coach, has been publishing her blog, Authentic Realities, and promoting living authentically since 2009. She lives in Long Beach, California with her partner, Erin, two cats, and rescued dog. Seven Days is her first book.

When Dian's father told her he was dying, there wasn't time for all the conversations they meant to have with one another. Their conversations for the rest of his days would have to cut through the small talk and hit the difficult topics they'd been avoiding for years. The authenticity they brought to those conversations had a profound impact on their relationship with each other, as well as Dian's relationships with those closest to her during her father's last seven days, and far beyond.

This book isn't just about a daughter's difficult relationship with her father and his death. It's about exercising authenticity in the difficult conversations that can only strengthen the bond between a father and a daughter, and bring them both the peace they were longing for all along.

Lina Landess

Lina received her  Health Coach training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where she was trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods. Drawing on this knowledge, she will help you create a completely personalized "roadmap to health" that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.

In addition to her IIN Health Coach training, she is an Advanced EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Matrix Re-Imprinting practitioner, studied Intrinsic Coaching techniques and received her BSc in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health.

In an effort to support her clients in truly transforming their lives, she recognized that EFT, an amazingly effective energy healing modality, could offer her clients a real 'leg up' by eliminating emotional eating issues.  She was so impressed by EFT that she established a full-time practice in Chapel Hill, NC based on EFT.  She says she has come full circle now, using EFT as  she originally envisioned, helping her health coaching clients eliminate the issues that have been driving their unhealthy relationship with food. These issues include, but aren't limited to trauma (experienced or witnessed), poor self-esteem, self-sabotage and the whole pantheon of negative self-talk. 

Lina thinks of EFT as the 'secret ingredient' to helping clients move beyond will power and into easily creating healthy living habits based on self-love and self-respect.

If you are curious about how health coaching can help you, Lina invites you to schedule an initial consultation with her today.
