Are you ready to be INSPIRED by Dr. Denise Berger, Founder of Aliki Designs?
About Founder of Aliki Designs, Dr. Denise Berger
Having spent nearly 20 years spearheading global Fortune 500 business, I shifted gears >10 years ago. I went back to school and completed a doctorate in education – organizational leadership, with an emphasis on corporate social responsibility. This led me to my work as an adjunct faculty in a graduate level program for social change and entrepreneurship, as well as consulting for-profits and non-profits. Always having a personal passion for jewelry and supporting business with purpose, I started AlikiDesigns. I believe in leadership that is ethical, intelligent and purpose-driven, cultivating a thriving society for all.*
* If you have a pulse, you can be this kind of leader!
I truly enjoy setting people and organizations in motion to achieve their full potential, and I am so happy that I can also now promote positive intentions through each of the Aliki designs. Mindful of building a business with a GIFt (Giving It Forward Together), each collection has a carefully curated beneficiary who receives a percentage of what you spend. Quite consciously, I want to invite the conversation about how much organizations truly give by making our GIFt transparent to you, the customer. If you look carefully at other organizations, you will find that many of them give a percentage of proceeds (that is, they give a percentage of their profit, netting out expenses. Customers, therefore, don’t really know how much money on their purchase amount is given to a cause). I intend to continue this conversation as well as expand the GIFt program into active strategies within the community. Stay tuned!
Want to hear more on my story? Watch this short 4 minute excerpt from a recent interview on Good Morning La La Land!
The Aliki One Story:
Dr. Berger and Dr. Denise correlated this one-of-a-kind collection intended to inspire higher consciousness along with mental health and wellbeing. Made of sterling silver 925, these designs are unique, creative, metaphoric, substantive, and packed with meaning. Our story with AlikiOne is unique and is the result of transformational journeys to India and Nepal. The designs are high impact – carrying intentional vibrational energy that promotes a collective thriving for all. #InspireAll #OneHumanity Here about this co-creation on the Dr. Denise podcast:
And like our other collections, once you put on an AlikiOne Design you won’t want to take it off. Wear it swimming, showering, exercising, working, playing, relaxing, sleeping and even with your black tie… Anywhere. Anytime. #Alikiwear.
GIFt: Partnerships for Change’s Lama Tenzin’s Orphanage
21% of the price you pay.
Lama Tenzin Choegyal from the Dolpo Region of the Himalayas is an unassuming hero for lost and forgotten children. He is known to trek 10 hours/day for 20 – 30 days while climbing over altitudes of 18,000 feet of treacherous conditions. He finds the children who have been cast from their homes due to spiritual beliefs or neglect and brings them to his orphanage. There, he has created a safe and loving home where they grow and flourish, and have access to private school education and professional opportunities. He is embarking on a new project called the “PinkPad.” Women in the villages are often sent away during their menses and have no access to any comforts. He is raising money for the equipment to manufacture and package supplies that the girls at the orphanage will help design and distribute.

While discussing the importance of the concept of “Embracing Our Neurostyle” as it applies in business, flow, happiness and day to day life she said “We are a series of PERCEPTIONS” which led into this REAL conversation about conflict resolution and PEACE when there is a PERCEPTION MISMATCH!

Vulnerable, inspirational, and informative are words that come to mind when I reflect on this interview with Lisa Davis M.P.H..
Lisa alchemized her own suffering of being raised by her mother that she says had “invisible differences” by seeking a higher level of education (Masters of Public Health) and then began her journey and vision of reaching the masses.
She is a modern day trans-media renaissance woman that has been ahead of her time in producing and hosting wellness shows since the late 90’s!
During this episode Lisa Davis M.P.H. and I relate as mothers that have been on a journey for our children to find their way and be understood for their unique sensory style.
Lisa listened to the episode with Cathleen O’Toole and I and gives specific feedback on “The Fabulous Five” and loves the vision of a World in which WE can all truly EMBRACE our uniqueness.
Thank you Lisa for SERVING Humanity at a time when we need it the most with all of the love, wisdom, and time you have devoted to wellness, not illness.

What an Honor to have Kirk Patrick Miller back to do a deep dive Embrace Your Neurostyle & Beyond show!
In our first interview Kirk Patrick Miller, the author of Chaos to Cured tells the story of being diagnosed with Bi-Polar 1, OCD, ADHD and General Anxiety as a young man, and related his struggle of coming to terms with what he thought would be a limited life.
The term #NEUROSTYLE, the “unique we process and process and perceive the world around us.” he says set him free. “It gave me lot better perspective as to how I should view myself.”
Kirk and I were having a collaborative discussion this week and I said.,”Kirk… I love where this conversation is going… Can we just hop on the mic and do a show?”
He said YES!
Here it is:
Kirk Patrick Miller is an award nominated author and violinist. Suffering with bipolar one, ADHD, OCD, and generalized anxiety, his life was upended when he refused to give in to the diagnoses he was labeled with. After becoming the first medically documented case of full remission from bipolar, due to his unique endocrine treatment method he was asked to write his memoir, “Chaos to Cured.”
Now, ten years after writing his memoir he stands as a testament to hope and perseverance. Stable and successful, Mr. Miller runs a music institute, is a professional painter, author, speaker, and radio personality.
His desire to help others find hope comes from being granted a second chance he believes everyone deserves. First and foremost he stands against shame and judgment of any kind.
Mr. Miller believes that each and every individual can attain their potential with work, faith in themselves, and the understanding that what is often seen as a weakness is actually our greatest source of power. He stands firm in his belief that the key to living a fulfilling life is in accepting and loving the person we are, all while turning our hardships into wisdom, love, and compassion for all.

The Creative Piece Of Kirk’s Soul that we discussed during OUR interview that I am honored to now have hanging in my home:
After personally meeting Desiree Kahikopo-Meiffret, director and producer of the award winning film The White Line, at a Beverly Hills film screening and then interviewing her on my show I was inspired to reach out to the lovely and multi-talented actresses Girley Charlene Jazama and Sunet Van Wyk for an interview.
They said “YES!”
(Infinite Smiles)
This Powerful Multidimensional, Multicultural, Multigenerational and Healing movie about Universal Love has touched my heart in a way that words cannot describe.
I believe it will touch yours too.
When Girley, Sunet and I were chatting across the globe from Windhoek, Namibia to Manhattan Beach, California (USA) it was Energetically Powerful & filled with laughter, vulnerability and transparency.
The content and the vibe was so powerful that even though there were tech issues I made the executive decision to release what I could (1/3 of the interview) with the Creative Determination and Intention and Spirit of “The Show Must Go ON!”
I AM so touched and humbled by these ladies and the entire “Team The White Line!” Thank you for this film.
I AM also grateful for the opportunity to reach out to Girley and Sunet to cocreate another show or even show(s) after they listen to what was possible to release.
Here it is:
