Dr. Sharon Turnbull is an innovative educator who encourages contemporary
women and men to discover and use their god and goddess archetypes to find
authenticity and balance in their lives. Through her websites, books, radio show and e-zine,
she helps women find ways to connect with their inner goddess to build
self-confidence, soulful connections and fulfilling lives.
Sharon is particularly fond of
gathering and crafting stories that teach, transform and inspire others.
Her first
book written for the general public was released in the spring of 2007 and quickly
became a bestseller at amazon.com.
Goddess Gift: Discover Your Personal
Goddess Type offers its readers an inspiring new way to discover the goddess
within and use that connection to the ancient goddesses in order to be more
authentic, self-confident and fulfilled in their lives.
Recently Sharon became the host of her own radio
program, A Goddess Life, on QTWorldRadio at Live365.com. Her shows are
aired several times a day.
Following her retirement from an academic career, Dr. Turnbull devoted herself to the
development of the popular
Goddess Quiz,
the first scientifically based archetype test on the internet. While the
Goddess Quiz is a full-scale scientifically based personality assessment, a
'just for fun' mini-version developed for site visitors has been
featured in CosmoGirl and Women's
World magazines.
Sharon formed the Goddess Path partnership with two of
her daughters and now
manages their three websites
devoted to mythology and archetypal psychology.
Primary among them is Goddess Gift, a site that
celebrates and nurture the goddess in every woman. The site features
the goddess myths, meditations and affirmations, essays, articles, and
book reviews along with a showcase of goddess art and a shop that
carries goddess jewelry (pendants), statues and shrines as well as the
author's books and the Goddess Quiz as well as the Greek Gods Quiz for men.
Dr. Turnbull holds degrees in
nursing, health care administration, and a doctorate in educational psychology
from the University of Oklahoma. In addition to working in a community mental
health center, she is a senior partner in a consulting firm offering educational
services to the health care community. During her academic career, she served as the director of a busy student health clinic,
an assistant dean of student affairs, was the university liaison with community
programs for abused women and rape victims, and the director of an
award-winning program for adults returning to school. An author and international
lecturer in the field of health care, sex therapy, adult development,
gerontology and women's issues, she shares her work with a gentle graciousness,
enthusiasm and humility.
As author of The Goddess
Gift Newsletter, a free monthly e-zine, she reaches thousands of women
throughout the world each month with an entertaining and provocative look at
the lessons of the goddesses and their relevance
to the lives of contemporary women.

If you asked me what I came
into this world to do,
I will tell you: I
CAME TO LIVE OUT LOUD!
--Emile Zola
"Women who have
abundant lives share one important trait--they have learned how to access and
use the power of their personalities. How do they do it? They may listen
to the opinions and the advice of others, but they insist on examining their own
lives, noticing the trends and looking at what is working and what is not.
But most of all,
they live their lives with self-acceptance and intention, refusing to let their
dreams die, their visions fade, or to allow themselves to be satisfied with a
life of mediocrity.
They live like
goddesses!"
