About the Author
Evelyne Brink is a personal and executive coach, professional speaker and author of “The ARTrepreneur. Financial Success for Artistic Souls” and “The Eye of the Needle”, “how to be happy with no easy lessons“. She helps committed individuals to shine their light into the world and create from a place of deep aliveness. She has been known as Uk’s Nr.1 Madonna impersonator as seen on TV (BBC1, ITV) and has written and produced her own music and shows around the world but many more that never left her head. She loves a laugh, romance and radical honesty. She doesn’t actually love the honesty bit when it’s personal and painful. She’d prefer having a laugh. In 2012 her partner Thomas and her became parents and her world changed.
An amazing story of how crisis can turn strangers into family and
the amazing reserves of grace, love, and hope we can all find
inside ourselves when we really need them.
*Michael Neill, author of Supercoach, The Inside Out Revolution and
Founder of Supercoach Academy*
This story will make you weep and laugh. It will make you feel
every feeling there is – and think deeply about what is real,
sacred and true about life.
*Robert Holden, author Holy Shift! and Founder of The Happiness
Project*
If you want to quickly reduce the size of almost any huge problem
you are dealing with, simply read It Takes Guts by Evelyne
Brink.
*Steve Hardison, The Ultimate coach*
Evelyne and Tuffel’s story will inspire you – it will make you
smile and it will also make you weep. Hang on for the ride because
there is much this brave boy and his mother have to teach us all
about the extraordinary nature of life.
*Rich Litvin, author of “The Prosperous Coach” and founder of the
Confident Woman’s Salon*
This is a truly powerful story that can and will change the world.
The amount of humour, absolute love, raw humanness and shifts in
perspective in this short book have altered my view of what I think
is possible. Thank you Tuffel for your light and wisdom; I am
forever brightened by your story.
*Amy Deva, Intuitive coach and yoga teacher*
Wow – Evelyne’s story is so in heartfelt and touching to my core. I
too had a baby that was hospitalised in intensive care and was told
he would not survive. I felt like Evelyne was telling my story and
what I personally went through from the strength she had to have to
stand up for her baby to the constant looking for every bright
side. Her story brought tears of joy and tears of empathy in
knowing the power it takes to believe in your baby and in miracles
within the universe. I am in awe of the complete connection
Evelyne, Thomas and Tuffel have to change their circumstances – and
in doing so, the world.
*Darlene Navarre, Playologist, Founder of GoPlazy*
It Takes Guts is raw, real and deeply moving. It gets you in sync
with the power of human emotion and how capable
we are of creating miracles when we believe in nothing less. I am
in awe of this book.
