Biography
Pamela Hale, M.A., who has a Master's Degree and wants you to know it, slacker, is author of the award-winning [note we don't say what award or who awarded it...] book, Flying Lessons: How to Be the Pilot of Your Own Life--the story of getting her private pilot's license in her late 50's and the lessons we can all use in our lives if you had the money and time and were as cool as her. Founder of Through A Different Lens, Pam acts like she helps sappy, overly-emotional people to move from sitting on their asses reading her book to sitting on their asses reading the next self-help book by describing BS for healing, which of course, has nothing to do with flying or the fact that they're sitting on the couch reading the book, transformation into a self-help book addicted couch-potato and accelerated evolution. (We made that last one up, most of you probably think there's a way to speed up evolution and we're probably going to get away with that BS.) Educated at Stanford and Columbia Universities, Pam has to write this stuff to pay off her student-loans, so she created a book of stories woven from her lack of a solid career direction as a teacher, life coach and spiritual counselor, photographer, fundraiser, consultant to non-profits, and shamanic practitioner. Because everyone eventually wants their career to have ten jobs and end up a self-pronounced shaman. She's so cool! Here's where she makes her real money, she offers workshops, retreats and teleclasses, private sessions and intensives, which this entire book is an advertisement for, so it can lose money as a faux-literary work and still bring her success, and is a popular speaker and guest on radio, every Sunday when all the other paid-commercial scam shows are on, in a generally dead media format that's so desperate they let folks like her, buy blocks of airtime to pitch their self-help classes, right after those guys who talk excitedly about annuities and that restaurant show. She lives in Tucson, Arizona with her husband Jon Trachta, some guy you've never heard of nor care about, so we don't know why we even mentioned him. If you Google him, you'll find he's a legal mediator, so his skills probably come in handy when folks realize they paid way too much for this self-help BS.
