Dr. Linda Sandel Pettit's life's work is listening-to the wisdom within, to the wisdom that is expressed in heartfelt conversation, to the wisdom of Life, and to the wisdom that Love is. It is listening that empowers her words in writing, spiritual mentoring, and compelling public speaking. She is a global influencer at the common boundaries of psychology and spirituality.As a mentor, Linda listens and intuits how to point others toward powerfully creating life from Love. She is skilled at shaping a safe crucible for transformative change. She revels in working with awakening souls who are ready to lean into curves after disruptive experiences of loss. Linda guides them to trust the intuitive way of love through rebirth to optimal self-expression and creativity. As a mentor, she has been called "fiercely sensitive and sensitively fierce."Linda's work rests on a psychospiritual understanding known worldwide as the 3 Principles shared by Sydney Banks, and on Beingness, a way of living shared by Steve Hardison in The Ultimate Coach.Linda's creative writing is published in the anthology Stories of the muses: Become a better writer. Leaning into curves is her first book. Her second book is in production.Linda holds a doctorate in counseling psychology from West Virginia University [1991], a master's in counselor education from Siena Heights University [1983], and a bachelor's degree in journalism from Michigan State University. She is married to Bill Pettit, MD, a psychiatrist, and recognized teacher of the 3 Principles. They make their home in Phoenix, Arizona and are over-the-moon about their family: five children and their partners, eleven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Linda loves bike-riding, swimming, walking, reading, writing and coffee!
