Sean LIV:

Sean Liv is a Fitness Expert, Life Strategist and Motivational Speaker and author of The Ticket. For several years, she repeated cycles of negativity and failure until she hit rock bottom. She realized she needed to take charge of my own life once and for all. She found inspiration after she lost 90 pounds, overcame addictions and underwent a physical and emotional transformation of her own. The best part was, she didn’t need any gimmicks, pills or expensive gym equipment to do so.

After creating a fitness company and working with several clients, Sean saw that their wellness journeys were about more than just their bodies - they were about their spirits

and minds too. She saw how doubt, fear and negativity can cause people to backtrack in their fitness and weight loss goals. They needed support and encouragement to break the cycle.

Sean wrote her book The Ticket based on her own journey and those of her clients. Through The Ticket, Sean helps people replace negative belief patterns with encouraging ones, use their inner power to overcome struggles and make positive life choices. The Ticket is used as a guidebook for The Ticket to Change Challenge. Real, honest health and an empowered, fearless life that starts from within.

Fifty-year-old Lise has always been active, but for many years struggled to find balance in life. With her career in hospital planning and her children all grown, she found it difficult to realize where to begin again.

Since completing her program, Lise felt liberation and a sense of accomplishment knowing that she had her life ahead of her. Lise knows deep within herself that there is a book to be written. For her prize, Lise was awarded a package that will help her with that goal. It starts with a writing workshop by author Susane Heaton, and Liv Publishing wil l polish the finished manuscript and publish her book.

“Thank you so very much for everything you have done for me - both this year and last year. You helped me succeed, you helped me to find strength and belief to help myself. You inspire, motivate, kick our butt, and gently guide us. You are such a loving, passionate person. My life is better for having met you and I wish everyone had the opportunity to be touched by you. You have the voice of an angel. T h a n k s s o m u c h f o r e v e r y t h i n g . ” Lise, Calgary AB

Tania felt comfortable in her own skin; never was her weight a real issue for her (in fact, during her last four weeks of her program, she called me concerned that she was losing her curves!). She is a mother of two and loves life. She felt the only change she needed in her life was to be a better role model to her pre-teen daughter. 

When asked what her real motivation would be for her program, she answered a meditation chair for her guided healing work. She was granted this prize as she showcased her transformation onstage at the Cardel

“Who would have thought I would have stuck with the program! ME! haha I'm glad I did because I feel so much better and I feel like I'm really on a role now with working out and living a healthier me. This is my longest consecutive time I've worked out EVER in my WHOLE life! Thanks girl for your constant support! You inspire me and so many other people everyday....”

I love you...lots n' lots :) Tania Calgary

Erin like many of us, has struggled with her weight, self confidence and taking time for herself. Being a wife and mother of two little girls is demanding in itself. But add to the profession of being a Grade 3 teacher - you're in trouble. Planning and staying organized at work is one thing, but coming home to her family and bringing all that work with her left little to no time for herself.

Erin lost three dress sizes, going from a size 16 down to a 12. You are amazing, Erin.

Erin was reward a beauty You shoot from international photographer Chantal Milaine. Stay tuned for the next edition of LIV Magazine for the shoot.

Darlene:Age 44-26 weeks

I’ve always wanted to find true balance in my life but never thought it was possible. When my girlfriend’s five-year-old daughter asked me if I had a baby in my belly and I said no, she looked confused and couldn’t understand why my belly was so big. No malice, just an honest voice from a child. That was it for me - I cried for hours.

Could I really find happiness daily and still follow my dreams? For years I had been told that’s a bunch of hooey. I was eighty pounds overweight and a closet alcoholic - I had to find a way! Learning to be truly honest with myself and looking deep into my spirit, I

finally found clarity. Harmony and balance can happen on a daily basis if you work hard, start forgiving yourself, and forget the past once and for all."

It hasn’t been an easy journey so far, but trust me, at 44 years old I have never been happier! I quit my job and decided it was time for me to finally be kind to my mind, body and spirit.

Now, six months later and 52 pounds lighter, I continue to follow my path and try to live in the moment and embrace change and all that challenges that face me every day. I now look forward to the future with hope, love and find myself smiling just because. Life is oh so good!

“It hasn’t been an easy journey so far, but trust me, at 44 years old I have never been happier!”

Rob: Age 39-13 weeks

My decision to get healthy was an easy one.  I made the decision when my wife called me into the kitchen and informed me I was denied life insurance.

I always believed I was healthy and really never cared what I put in my body or how I treated it. But when your wife comes to you with tears in her eyes because of how unhealthy you've become, it's a real awakening. Then you realize you're not just here for yourself. You have a family that depends on you, that loves and cares for you. Not getting healthy is just being selfish. You get your act together.My biggest excuses were related to getting to the gym - time constraints or not having the proper equipment.

I found that if you use your imagination, everything around you can be used: the park, stairs, benches, rocks and trees - anything you can imagine.

I personally haven’t had a gym membership in five years but I do have a mat and ball. This small amount of equipment, along with my own drive and determination, was more then enough to get my mind, body and spirit on track!

Getting healthy was hard, but it got easier and easier as you see and feel the results. One piece of advice I have is get your mind right because when you do, everything just becomes easy. You don’t need people to push you. You just need inspiration, which comes from yourself.

A refreshing take on countless diet fads! DBRyderPublished in Guided Synergy Magazine Spring/Summer Issue 2011

Sean Liv's, The Ticket is a refreshing take on the countless diet fads and programs that have saturated the weight-loss industry over the years.

In this first book, she offers up a 13-week program that can be customized to any fitness level and can all be done without a gym membership or purchasing any additional equipment. She even provides some healthy recipes to help you get started on a healthier diet and showcases a couple of success stories to inspire the timid. For those of us who are all too familiar with the latest and greatest weight-loss programs to hit the market, this may sound pretty familiar and a bit "old hat." So what, you ask, is so refreshing about that?

Very quickly, you discover that The Ticket isn't so much a weight-loss book as it is a self-improvement book. It was clearly written for those of us who have excitedly and optimistically begun a new diet or workout regimen only to have it fizzle a few weeks or months down the road.

This book challenges you to explore your own thought processes, habits, self-doubts and lingering emotional hang-ups in an effort to understand how they may be hindering your success. Her holistic approach to self-improvement is focused on helping the reader to understand the inter-connection between the body, mind and spirit to find inner strength and

permanently overcome the obstacles that have kept so many of us from achieving our goals.

Liv's philosophy is a message born of her own personal experiences. In this book, she shares her own struggle with yo-yo weight-loss before undergoing her own physical transformation of losing 90 pounds. She also talks about experiencing the inner fragility that can be almost paralyzing when embarking on personal goals and dreams. She writes with such honesty that you crave a bit more of her story, knowing that you're just touching the surface of her personal journey to finding inner strength. And there is no doubt that she has found that strength because there is a definite awareness and confidence that comes through in both the exercise photos and the narrative of the book.

The Ticket makes it difficult not to join Liv in the belief that a willingness to take a clear and honest look at your life can bring about positive changes beyond weight-loss. This holistic philosophy is plainly stated and woven throughout the book, but thankfully, is not delivered in a way that makes you feel as if you need to be sitting deeply in meditation pose to receive its full benefit. Instead, The Ticket is filled with easy-to-follow exercises, healthy recipes, shopping tips, practical advice and tools that anyone who is willing can use to transform their lives - beginning with their bodies.

An Incredible Guide to Self EmpowermentM_R_Shahwww.BarnesandNoble.com

The Ticket, by Sean Liv is a straightforward self-help book that not only focuses on weight loss, but emphasizes the need to set goals, refrain from a sedentary lifestyle, and improve one's self perception. The combined results will enable individuals to make positive choices and live a healthy lifestyle. Unlike other self-help books, Liv refuses to preach, but rather strives to achieve wellness through a thirteen week regimen that has been proven to resurrect one's desired lifestyle and help extract the most life has to offer.

Consciously or subconsciously, Liv states that individuals who are suffering are imbued with self loathe; however, she clearly explains to the audience that transformation is intrinsic; no one is going to come to the rescue.

While many will instinctively respond, "Easier said than done," The Ticket is intriguing precisely because the author has undergone the same lifestyle change that she discusses in her

book. Before she shed 90lbs and regained a stronghold on her life, Sean Liv was inflicted with the common symptoms of being overweight, struggling with drug abuse, etc.Using visualization techniques, among other strategies, Liv devises a clear-cut outline that provides an exercise library, journal writing, nutrition guidance, recipes and much more. From where to begin to getting there, The Ticket is your one way pass to wellness-in the body, mind, and spirit.

It's safe to say that The Ticket focuses on the psychological aspect of one's self as much, if not more than the physical element. When an individual has self confidence, he or she is able to infuse life with positivity, making physical transformation a less daunting task. Learning to trust, to forgive and to identify one's own power is at the forefront of a new you.

The Ticket is an incredible, highly recommended asset for individuals seeking to break free from obesity, lack of self esteem, self loathe, etc. More importantly, it has a track record of success, beginning with the author herself.
