AWARD WINNING PODCAST - The “Awakenings In Real Life” podcast with Dan Cohen as host tells inspiring stories of transformation, meaning and hope. While we typically think of an Awakening as a “Getting Up” or “Spiritual” or “Religious” in nature, an “Awakening” is also an awareness, recognition or realization of something. Host Dan Cohen will share stories of people awakening and then triumphing over bullying, addiction, disability, illness, trauma, loss, near death experiences and more.

AWARD WINNING BOOK - Based in New York, Dan Cohen is a storyteller, podcaster, speaker, and entrepreneur who found unexpected meaning in his father’s journey with dementia. His writing began with the story of his dad’s awakening from his dementia, and the message dad sent that he still appreciated and wanted to live life, an experience that reshaped his perceptions of family, memory, and resilience. In these pages, Cohen draws on a lifetime of lessons from his father’s humor, toughness, and compassion, sharing family stories of love, inspiration, and hope. In 2026, following a successful business career, Cohen launched the Awakenings in Real Life podcast in January 2026, a vehicle for others to share their own awakening stories. The series—and this book—stand as testaments to the idea that awakenings can change the way we live and love.

She holds an MBA and professional credentials, including CPA and CFP, along with additional certifications that have shaped her practical approach to systems, leadership, and human behavior.

Ann believes no one is ordinary. We are layered, capable, and original, even when life tries to place us into neat categories or point us toward choices that do not reflect who we are.

Drawing on professional experience and personal insight, Ann helps readers recognize those patterns, understand their own values, and choose a path that reflects who they are.

When our values align with the environment around us, decisions become clearer and forward movement feels more natural.

Through her books and speaking, Ann offers thoughtful frameworks and practical language for navigating the forces that shape our lives, making intentional choices, and building a future that feels genuinely our own.

J. M. Shaw is a Canadian author of fantasy fiction who lives in Alberta with her husband and two young children. She’s been writing since childhood, building worlds from raw imagination and quiet observation, but it took years before she found the courage to share them. For Shaw, storytelling has always been more than a passion. It’s a compass. A sanctuary. A way to make sense of the chaos.

In 2019, Shaw was diagnosed with autism and ADHD, a turning point that brought clarity to a lifetime of feeling “too much” or “too different.” Her intense focus, emotional depth, and ability to live inside fictional worlds became not flaws but the superpowers of a neurodivergent mind. These qualities shape her stories, infusing them with realism, heart, and meaning, and giving her the courage to finally share her creative works. Her worlds may be fantastical, but her characters—flawed, searching, and deeply human—resonate on a personal level.

When she’s not writing, Shaw enjoys connecting with nature, curling up with a good book, and dreaming up new worlds. She also finds joy in encouraging young writers to pursue their own passions.
