"Like an elite athlete, an artist is hard wired to reach a goal and then, having achieved it,
to raise the bar even higher, always pushing to perform at top capacity, crafting a personal best..."
~ Beyonce, MySpace 2007
"I think I've been successful professionally because I always thought positively.
Sure I'm going to make money. Sure, I'm going to work as an actress... but in my personal life,
I have a lot of fears and negative thoughts. Those fears became a self-fulfilling prophecy."
~ Halle Berry (LA Times, Apr 1, 2007)
"I had everything. But I felt something was missing." ~Madonna (interview with Oprah)
"I was at the top of my career and I felt empty, void." ~ Mel Gibson (interview with Diane Sawyer)
"I had all of these people around me who loved me and cared for me... but no one was listening."
~ Wynonna Judd (interview with Oprah)
"In my personal experience, there can be an inherent instability that surrounds artistry, a chaos
that somehow seeps into an artists life and causes the deterioration of our general well being.
Because of the nature of this industry, our peace of mind, focus, potential, creativity, happiness,
health, and professional and personal boundaries are often jeopardized."
~ Bryce Dallas Howard, Actress (NY Times)
"I had given away my power." ~ Mariah Carey (interview with Oprah)
"After nearly a decade of non-stop work, my career felt like a grind, like I was one of the
hamsters on the wheel." ~ Jennifer Lopez (People Magazine, 2005)
"Fame and fortune left me feeling bored and embittered. There was a moment (in 2002) when
I was on stage and I was just so angry... I thought, 'Something is wrong. I have the applause,
I have a great band behind me, I live comfortably'... I was becoming a victim of fame.
Everything was too serious and I wasn't enjoying it." ~ Ricky Martin, New York Oct 16, 2005
Sandra Bullock (People Cover, March 15, 2007) A high-octane career led to burnout.
By 2002, she was so exhausted "my body began shutting down" while filming
Two Weeks Notice with Hugh Grant. "I got to know who Sandy was, and she wasn't
the same person I had met when I started in the business."
"You know I went through a lot being on American Idol. Some of it was incredible....
but a lot of it was really difficult. I went through a lot of difficult times as a result of being
very vocal about my faith. When I was eliminated, I was yelled at and screamed at for
standing up for what I believed in. And that caused me to go into a really, really dark time,
a deep depression..." ~ Mandisa, June 10, 2007 Crystal Cathedral
"Rehab for me was basically like an awakening... I didn't know who I was."
~ Former Miss USA Tara Conner, March 1, 2007
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT LINDA with CELEBRITY PROS...
"When I first came to you I was in a very tough place. For some reason your presence
made me feel safe. I am destined to continue doing great things, yet in the moments
when I am exasperated, overwhelmed, exhausted, all I want is someone to be my strength...
and that is exactly what you have become. You understand me more than I understand
myself and you give me perspective no one else can give. You meet me at the very
core of me. No one else has been able to meet me at that level.
You are a true blessing in my life and career!
I could find a coach anywhere, yet someone like yourself is invaluable."
"A magical coach. Intuitive and profoundly wise. Her style and panache are a bonus."
"Living with an athlete is never easy! The lifestyle can often be a roller coaster ride.
Linda, you were so helpful to me.... Thank you!"
"Linda, you have been my lifesaver! My own personal muse. You always know me.
You helped me get grounded without slowing me down. And your confidentiality
has been significantly important to my success."
"I believe that much of the recent gold in my life is a result of being touched by you.
You inspire me. You are always looking for new ways to challenge me to grow.
You are a savvy business woman with incredible focus and determination.
You are a deeply compassionate person with lots of heart and soul.
And you're a damn good coach! You enable me to see possibilities without
pushing me. I like that. Thank you for being a powerful presence in my life."
"She listened... inspired, encouraged and challenged me;
she got me to give more, learn more, and better understand myself."
"Some call her a Creative Strategist, some call her a Muse...
no matter what they call her, Linda has an advanced form of communicating
and relating skills to help clients move forward in their lives and business -
to help them integrate who they are (soul) with what they do (business)
to produce the life they want (results) with integrity."
"What I value most is that you taught me how to recognize my own inner guidance
and to honor it. For this I am most grateful."
"I love you, my mentor, my muse. Thanks for asking the question!
You will definitely be part of this project as it unfolds..."
