Meet Dede Lyons of Feel Good Express in West Palm Beach
Today we’d like to introduce you to Dede Lyons.
Dede Lyons, Empowerment Coach, Founder of Feel Good Express, Empowerment Coach, author, and motivational speaker, Dede Lyons founder of the Feel Good Express lifestyle program, guides clients with the tools to attract a joy-filled life. Dede’s life long passion for feeling good coupled with her success at guiding others to feel energized, inspired her to create the FGE methodology for all of life’s challenges. Whether clients are working toward self love, attracting a soulmate, opening their spiritual connection, or revamping a business plan, the effortless FGE express practices will catapult you towards achieving your personal and professional goals.
Dede’s self empowerment journey began at age 40 in 1990, when she was in the throws of her NYC Broadcast Television career and running out of steam. She witnessed herself and many colleagues close to burning out from the high demands of their jobs. She was determined to find ways to feel more energized and invigorate herself and her sales team.
Thus, she embarked on her spiritual journey, alongside her career in Broadcast Marketing, to experience many different modalities to refresh her mindset and raise her vibration. Utilizing mind/body/spirits tools including self-healing books, juice fasting, aromatherapy, journaling, and the power of positive thinking, Dede extracted the pearls of wisdom that would eventually become the foundation of FGE.
As a result of a career setback, a pivotal and tremendous shift occurred in the spring of 1995 when she received an angel reading from Trudy Griswold, the author of “Angel Speake”. Soon after, Dede was journaling and connecting to her angelic team regularly. This higher connection not only raised her vibration and opened a direct channel to her angels, but it also gave here to access to one of her dormant gifts: the gift of claircognizance. This crystal clear knowing enables her to give concrete, customized advice, birthing the term she later phrased “Corporate Spirituality”.
At age 62 years young, she stepped away from her successful thirty-two year career in Broadcast Sales/Management in NYC and embarked on her Feel Good Express divine path, relaying that she was in “Rebootment”, not retirement. She began tweeting her “Feel Good Tweets” on Twitter and subsequently wrote her first book, “The Joy of Tweeting,” as a self-help transition tool from broadcast media to FGE, using social media. She was solicited by the editors of Sun & Surf magazine in 2012 to write quarterly articles, which she still does today.
Presently, Dede is consistently invited to lead seminars and workshops, her private coaching practice has soared, globally, and her newly created “Feel Good Journal” has been a huge success. Additionally, her non-profit work at Gratitude House, the Lord’s Place, and the Center for Child Counseling has given many women in need the tools to be hopeful and courageous. Her latest role as Chair of the Membership Committee at the Women’s Chamber of Palm Beach County earned her and her committee the “Badass Award” for their stellar performance of increasing membership substantially!
Dede is fully loaded with life experience, corporate marketing know-how, insightful wisdom and the skills from six years of Empowerment Coaching and Seminars. She successfully empowers her clients through the Feel Good Express Mind, Body & Spirit practices to attract abundance in romance, finance, health & career opportunities: tools for life.
Has it been a smooth road?
I always tell people the first 21 years of my life was a big struggle, while the back half has been the best. I had a very emotionally traumatic childhood filled with lots of family dysfunction, verbal and physical abuse. Both of my parents were alcoholics and my mother had undiagnosed manic depression in the 50’s and 60’s throughout my childhood and teenage years.
My mother was always stressed and angry and not capable and unable to love me or any of my three sisters since her mother never loved her. However, my father was loving, nice and funny but not available enough and his mother was similar and (who lived with us the first five years of my life) was very loving and nurturing. I believe that love from my father and grandmother, WaWa, in the first seven years of my life saved my spirit. I could feel they loved me so very much. (My parents divorced at age 7.) We moved from Chicago to NY. Many years later I remember when I was in the throes of therapy from ages 30 to 40, virtually 2x a week in NYC learning to love myself and heal my emotional wounds, my mother said to me” Dede, I know I am going to come up in your therapy and I want you to know it wasn’t you, it was me. I did not have a maternal bone in my body and I was the hardest on you of all your sisters since you reminded me of your father and I was always so mad at him.” What my mother shared with me was monumental and I soon made a very positive shift in my therapy. As my therapy continued and I learned to love myself, I was able to truly forgive her. Soon after at age 34, I met my soulmate, Joe Lyons, husband of 31 years and have been head over heels in love with him ever since.
My mother was very admirable in many ways and held the torch for single independent working mothers raising her four daughters in the 50’s and 60’s with very little financial support of her two ex-husbands. Plus she made sure she saved enough money to send all four daughters to college. A former Rockette & model who joined the WAC’s and entertained the troops overseas in the mid 40’s became a very successful career woman in the fashion and retail business. She was the Merchandise Manager for Women’s Ready to Wear, for Gimbels and Saks in NYC.
I was a late bloomer and rebellious so I quit college in my 2nd year and went to California for six months to find myself. But I never lost my drive to excel and succeed. I headed back to Manhattan where I had spent most of my life and got a waitress job and a few odd modeling jobs and decided to go back to college a night. It took me six years of waitressing in the day and attending classes at night to Hunter College and studying on the weekends. I was self-supporting all throughout this journey with no financial assistance. I am proud to say I graduated Cum Lade from Hunter College at age 30 in 1980. Soon after, I was determined to get one of the toughest sales training jobs in Broadcast Sale. in NYC.I went through an intense interviewing process (nine interviews with nine different sales VP’s and managers). I knew it was a long shot since I had no experience in media buying or selling. I heard only a select few will get hired into this sought after training program. Which actually made me more determined to land this potentially unattainable position. After three long months of interviewing, I was hired and signed a three year contract for one of the most prestigious Sales Training Programs in Broadcast Sales industries in NYC at Petry Television Sales!
I was now well on my way owning my gifts, wearing my new found confidence and proud feelings of this big accomplishment. The best part of my life was beginning to emerge!
We’d love to hear more about your business.
I am an Empowerment Coach, Author and Founder of the Feel Good Express lifestyle program. I show people, primarily woman how to release, worry, doubt, fear, etc., (all the low vibrating emotions) and instill them with my FGE tools for life, that will raise them up to joy, compassion and love and empower them to manifest abundance, in finance, romance, better health, self love and career opportunities.
My main gift is my connection and channel to my angelic team. They are involved in everything I do both personally and professionally. The angels assist me in my workshops, seminars and one on one sessions. These amazing unseen helpers are eager to assist and I show others how easy it is to connect with their angels. In a session I open my sacred space and the client steps in and connects with their inner child/soul and I share my FGE tools, the angels pour in lots of love and the client makes a positive shift, which gets them started on their new divine path! It’s so very uplifting and magical for both the client and myself to experience.
I used to call them my “corporate angels” since they would help me make quarterly budgets and goals and hire very productive sales people onto my sales teams at WPTV NewsChannel 5 in West Palm Beach and my Sales Management jobs at Petry Television & Cox Media Sales in NYC.
So, whether you hire me for career transition, branding, more self love or romance or financial abundance, my angelic team is involved. A bonus is my advice and guidance on all these issues come from my life experience both personally and professionally, corporate managerial and career successes and leadership training coupled with my crystal clear knowing. (Claircognizance) So, I can easily assess intuitively what each and every client needs to release and own to get them on their abundance paths. I love helping them uncover their buried gifts! I love what I do and I know I am in my divine purpose.
My motto is “I hear you, I see you and what you say matters” which I heard on the Oprah Winfrey finale show.
I believe if you truly love yourself inside and out, everything in your life will magically change for the better. Since your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship of your life. Then you can begin your divine journey to give and receive love in a beautiful balance way!
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I like doing business in West Palm Beach and I do recommend for someone that is just starting a new business venture. While I worked as the Local Sales & Marketing Manager at NewsChannel Five in WPB for those seven years, I noticed there was much more a sense of community here then I felt in NYC. When I started my Feel Good Express coaching and seminars back in 2012, I felt there were lots of support groups in the community for entrepreneurs, especially females. Women’s Chamber of Commerce PBC, FemCity, Women’s Foundation of Florida, etc.
Plus, I recently noticed from being on the board of the Women’s Chamber of Palm Beach County, I see that funding seems to be much more available too. SCORE which you probably know about hosts lots of free seminars on starting and growing your business.
