Sandy Brewer, PhD, is a Human Behavior and Relationship Expert. She is a renowned speaker, author, talk radio show host, therapist, coach, and humanitarian who has lived a life that is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Her insightful qualities are brilliantly shared not only through her weekly call-in Sandy Brewer Show talk radio, but also through her speaking and workshop engagements, and her multi-award winning memoir, Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Jou ey.

For over 33 years she has helped and inspired thousands of people to move beyond their personal challenges in order to explore and embrace the possibilities in their own lives. Her call-in talk radio show airs in the Central Califo ia Coast-San Francisco Bay area markets on KRXA 540 AM and can also be heard worldwide through the program’s web-site, www.SandyBrewerShow.com.

Sandy has spoken at numerous venues throughout the North America, including from the Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York, to Pepperdine University in Malibu, Califo ia. Sandy has been featured on numerous television shows, including a special segment on her life and work on NBC's Nightly News and a nationally televised documentary, A Bridge for the Children, – a program she founded for abused and traumatized children.

Sandy has been a powerful advocate, especially for women and children, for many decades and has spearheaded significant programs to that effect. She was the driving force that got the State of Maryland to change the way abused children were treated in court. As a result of her intense advocacy for a child in her program, an 11 year-old girl was allowed to be the first child to testify on closed circuit television instead of in open court in front of her abuser. Soon other states took notice and followed suit.

She was chairwoman of Operation Shelter, a project responsible for successfully opening and operating the first publicly supported homeless shelter in Denver, Colorado.

Sandy is a skilled communicator and it is common for her to receive standing ovations at her presentations. That’s the level of effect she has on her audiences. She gets effortlessly to the heart of what matters speaking with openness, humor, grace, inspiration, and affirmative information interwoven with pragmatic strategies. Her light-heartedness, upbeat attitude and wisdom are an inspiration. She is a unique woman, filled with laughter, clarity and compassion who “talks the talk” based on her first-hand experience of having “walked the walk.”

Sandy, with her compelling compassion, wit, and wisdom, offers a pathway out of darkness into light with warmth and richness. She is a dynamic, inspirational woman who suffered such severe and near-fatal abuse as a child that she was drawn so deeply into the dark that she found the light.

With her empowering insights and natural good-humor, Sandy offers the profound lessons of her personal jou ey and how they apply equally to people from all walks of life and in all circumstances.

Along the road to her own healing, she developed seminal techniques that enabled her not only to overcome, but also literally gain strength from these experiences. She has devoted her life to helping adults and children recognize that they are loved, and that no matter what happened yesterday it is insignificant to what lies within the core of one's being today.

Sandy has memorialized her innovative work and techniques in Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Jou ey, an entertaining, soul-stirring, master trope in the art of healing that shares her true-life story of how she came to find the presence of Light within her, and the "how to's" of choice - how anyone can look at their life from a new perspective and create new choices.

So how do we let go of past trauma, baggage, and limitation that keeps us from maximizing our potential? How do we connect with ourselves and the light within which is greater than any dark - that light which is the promise of all that we can be, the grace of a wisdom greater than any doubt, the recognition that nothing needs to stand between us and our fulfillment?

Through the experiences of her own life, as well as over 33 years as a counselor, workshop leader, and speaker, Sandy has learned life changing principles that can and do heal the past and open the door to a new day.

Through Sandy’s radio program, her national speaking engagements and workshops, and in Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Jou ey, she shares the insights that have allowed her to come out of the shadow of a brutalized life into one of robust success, fulfillment and love.

Sandy has a universal message that connects with everyone. It doesn't matter what got our past baggage to weigh so heavy on our backs. Whether it comes from abuse, or loss, or "I can't let go of the guy/gal that just dumped me," or "I just am not that thrilled about being me," it's all the same mire and morass. How we deal with it in the here and now will determine not only how we experience today, but how we lead ourselves into our future.

It's quite a jou ey. Sandy invites you to take it with her and discover:

  • How to let go of the past and transform your dreams into your life today.
  • How to reshape past experiences of limitation into present and future success and freedom.
  • How to be empowered with a simple, but potent, shift in your point of view that can change your reality immediately.
  • How to improve the quality of your life and relationships by understanding your power of choice today!

When I was a kid – all the way back in the 40’s and 50’s – the common saying was something like “Eat your food, because people in China are starving.” Even as an 8 year-old, I wasn’t sure that the over-cooked carrots growing cold on my plate in a suburb of Chicago could get half way around the world in time to do them any good. It was true, though, people around the world were starving. Sadly, they still are, even in our own country.

It’s resonates like an old gospel spiritual: You got a story, I got a story. All God’s children got a story. The intensity of our stories varies as does the degree of the resulting chaos. Some of us had it really rough, as did I. Yet others have had harsher lives. And for some of us, not so much. High-end or low-end trauma, it matters not. All of it can make for a great story about how and why we have the right to be victims of our own reality. Because reality is not carved in stone. It is based on a point of view. Namely, ours.

It’s springtime. Tulips and crocuses, with lilacs right around the bend. And, of course, the rose is on its way, too. It’s a time of renewal and rebirth, a time for the re-emergence of that which has lain dormant; a time for new love and the dreams of an extended winter’s night ready to be fulfilled.

We begin with the best of intentions but even when we perceive that we are putting our proverbial best foot forward, our efforts often only meet with failure.

A Message from Sandy:

“Do you have baggage? Of course you do. Because if you're like most people, we've all had experiences that ranged from absolutely great to less than ideal and sometimes all the way down to simply horrific! But it's not the amount of baggage we've traipsed through or even how we got it that makes the difference. It's what we make of the baggage and how we use it to move forward.

“I get this part. I was once the Queen of Baggage. Coming out of a deeply abusive past that almost took my life more than once, desperation was my inspiration. It drove me into stumbling my way into what ultimately became my healing.

So how do we let go of the baggage that keeps us from maximizing our potential? How do we connect with ourselves and the light within which is greater than any dark - that light which is the promise of all that we can be, the grace of a wisdom greater than any doubt, the recognition that nothing needs to stand between us and our fulfillment?

“Through the experiences of my own life, as well as over 30 years as a counselor, workshop leader, and speaker, I've learned life changing principles that can and do heal the past and open the door to a new day.

“In Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Jou ey, I share the insights that have allowed me to come out of the shadow of a brutalized life into one of robust success, fulfillment and love.

“It's a universal message. It doesn't matter what got our baggage to weigh heavy on our backs. Whether it comes from abuse, or loss, or "I can't let go of the guy/gal that just dumped me," or "I just am not that thrilled about being me," it's all the same sludge. How we deal with it now will determine not only how we experience today, but how we lead ourselves into tomorrow.

“It's quite a jou ey. I invite you to take it with me and discover:

  • How to let go of the past and transform your dreams into the here and now.
  • How to reshape past experiences of limitation into present and future success and freedom.
  • How to be more empowered with a simple, but potent, shift in your point of view that can change your experience of reality immediately.
  • How to improve the quality of your life and relationships by understanding your power of choice today!”

"Pursuit of Light is a stunning, inspiring, powerful book. It stayed with me. I couldn't put it down. You have to experience it!"
