For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Anne Alvares.  I came from childhood pain.  I suffered abuse, controlling parents, and was parentified.  My healing journey began almost 30 years ago when I first told my story.  When I became a mother, I was determined to heal and not repeat the patterns of my childhood in my own parenting with my children.

 

Now, I teach parents how to foster healthy relationships with their kids.  When we uncover our childhood story and become aware of our triggers, we can begin to heal and change.  When we do this, our children thrive and we can feel good about our parenting.

 

Let me help you to heal and to change.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
