Dr. Toni Galardi Soul Purpose Activator and Futurist
About Me
My Story
As the eldest child of four children, no sisters, a worn out mother, and an absentee father, I had to learn leadership my own way with three testosterone driven younger brothers. Initially, I followed my family’s pattern of overworking yourself until you have a physical breakdown, which I did at age 30. An early achiever at 24, by the time I was 30 and recently divorced, I also walked away from a lucrative practice in Orange County, California. This led me on a path to shamanism, quantum healing and astrology. Ultimately, I discovered that the feminine path to living full out was what was natural and authentic for me. Leaning into what I came to call my Wholy Self, I began taking direction rather than giving it. Along the way, I developed other tools in my medicine bag, like understanding the vibrational effects of planets in our galaxy on us both as individuals and as a species. Further, energy and holistic medicine became what was natural for me.
As you can see, I have had the grace of walking an unconventional vocational path with deep roots in traditional academic training, however, I have also been fortunate to have had opportunities to speak in front of large audiences at both conferences and corporations, become a self help author, guest expert on major broadcast tv and radio, host my own television show, and become licensed as a clinical psychotherapist, astrologer, and career coach.
In spite of parlaying two advanced degrees and license into all those vocational hats, what I am most proud of is that I transformed my fear of change and a pattern of waiting to make a change until a crisis hit. I once called myself “the poster child for the change impaired” because I was a bit “slow” when it came to preparing for change. It took three near fatal experiences over the course of twenty years to discover another way to make changes. Further, every time I actually got going and ventured into an unknown professional territory, it was uncomfortable and downright scary. For example, while I was writing my first book The LifeQuakeTM Phenomenon, I was plagued by anxiety around the level of transparency about my own life that my clients and future clients would know about me. And then there was the inner critic I had to deal with who was absolutely sure I didn’t have the chops to be a writer. With the new, updated and expanded edition renamed The LifeQuake Miracle: Awakening to Your True Purpose in Times of Personal and Global Upheaval for a 10 year anniversary release, I have become more committed to contributing my purpose and less focused on others’ approval. You see, these tools do work!
No matter what vocational hat I am wearing now, what connects all the dots in my coloring book is my passion for helping people move through uncertain change into a life that has greater vitality and joy.
