Living the human experience is a beautiful, complex journey. It's filled with peaks and valleys of pleasure and pain, both physical and emotional. It seems so simple when we're children, but things change as we grow: we begin to form our own opinions, develop romantic relationships, build a career, and work our way through life. With age comes maturity and personal development, but all too often, we grow older without learning how to manage and accept our emotions, thoughts, and relationships. This causes us to get stuck, and for some, they then stay stuck - trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt, judgement and negativity.

Sound familiar? If so, ask yourself if you are suffering from any of the following:

Unresolved childhood trauma
Grief, loss, and betrayals in life that you can't get past
Harmful patterns that keep you stuck in a rut, with no hope of moving forward
Anxiety about your personal or work life
Anger, insecurity, and stress that gets the best of you
Codependency and people pleasing-problems that leave you emotionally bankrupt
Family or romantic relationship issues that you can't handle or resolve
Negative thoughts and self-criticizing problems equating to "I'm not good enough" and "I can't succeed."
Overthinking and racing thoughts that distract you during the day and keep you up at night
Lack of motivation or purpose in your life
Low self-worth, self-love, and lack of personal development

If you're struggling because you aren't sure what to do next or how to change your life for the better, know that you aren't alone. Millions of people just like you aren't where they want to be in life. Fortunately, your personal growth life coach in Cave Creek, AZ, is here to help you reimagine, refocus, and rebuild your life for the better.

We All Suffer at Times. Now, Lets Do Something About It

If you're reading this page, chances are you're not exactly happy with how your life is going. And that's okay. You're in a safe place.

Finding the right person to speak with about the personal growth issues in your life is challenging. Some life coaches in Cave Creek only see you as a transaction - a means to make money and provide unhelpful, mediocre services. Christy Maxey is the anthesis of uneducated, fly-by-night life coaches. She has worked with thousands of people just like you and has built a reputation of helping people as their life coach in Cave Creek and throughout Arizona, as well as with clients all over the world.

As a former therapist, Christy uses an effective system of evidenced-based concepts, tools, and exercises like trauma-informed coaching, inner child healing and EMDR to uncover true self-worth. Christy's signature system, the Maxx Method, helps develop emotional intelligence and provides life-long skills that will help guide you in relationships with yourself and others.

Remember: you are not broken YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. There is nothing wrong with you. And, it doesn't have to take years of therapy to get the results you are hoping for

The Maxx Method Difference

Many people use go to therapy but see few results. They've tried reading books, listening to podcasts, and maybe even hired a life coach. But at the end of the day, they're still struggling with root issues that cause stress, anxiety, and feelings of helplessness.

Christy Maxey has developed The Maxx Method, an evidenced-based path to Personal Development, Healing and Emotional Intelligence. When you work with Christy Maxey as your life coach, you will spend your time together getting to the root cause of your problems. You'll answer questions like:

How are you holding yourself back?
What limiting beliefs do you have?
What are you resisting?
How are self-doubt and judgment keeping you stuck?
How is your past STILL affecting you now?
Where is your anxiety coming from?

Often, we don't know the answers to these questions without help. Unfortunately, many therapists and life coaches in Cave Creek, AZ lack focus. They encourage you to talk about your day, week, and month. They get a general sense of what is bothering you, but before any real work is done, your therapy session is over. In the end, you see few results and you're left reeling with more anxiety and stress than before.

Clients choose Christy Maxey as their personal development life coach because she gets right to the issues without wasting your time. She pulls on her vast experience to heal men and women of all ages, using traditional techniques from psychology and psychotherapy combined with results-oriented coaching. Christy always emphasizes honesty, compassion, and accountability, so you get real benefits and real efficiency with her coaching.

If you're ready to be re-introduced to your authentic self, your journey starts here.

Men's Personal Development Growth Coaching in Cave Creek, AZ

Men in today's society often fight against strong feelings of stress, anger, and self-defeating patterns that keep them stuck in a rut. Unfortunately, many men are socialized to ignore their feelings and inner experiences. As a men's therapist and life coach for more than 20 years, Christy Maxey has the techniques and experience to break down the barriers keeping men from living the life they want.

Men deserve compassion, but they also deserve high expectations and positive confrontation when necessary. Unlike some life coaches in Cave Creek, Christy's approach doesn't allow men to hide behind insecurity and grandiosity. Male clients choose Christy because she pushes them to live to their true potential without wasting time.

Coaching Men with Relationship Issues

Relationships don't always come easily and we are not taught how to have healthy, secure relationships. Challenges can be hard to overcome without help. If any of the following problems sound familiar, life coaching with Christy Maxey could be the solution:

Difficult Relating to Partner
Repeating Negative Patterns in Relationships
Feelings of Loneliness
Feeling Misunderstood

Coaching Men with Stress

Stress is the leading root cause of disease. Although men are taught to "just deal with it," that's not the best answer. With Christy Maxey as your life coach, you can address issues with:

No Appreciation for Hard Work
Pleasing Everyone Except Yourself
Exhaustion without Physical Activity
Feelings of Unhappiness and Lack of Motivation

Coaching Men with Anger

It's no wonder that men suffer from aggression and anger when we tell them to turn off their emotions. Life coaching can help you overcome:

Aggressive Behavior
Outbursts of Anger
Career Issues
Relationship Issues
Verbal Aggression and Abuse

If you're a man open to working through your problems to better yourself, there's good news. Christy Maxey's proven, efficient life coaching system can help you be the father, husband, friend, and self that you truly want to be. With the right tools and guidance, you can live life with less anger and stress. And with the right tools, you can focus on finding your voice without resorting to aggression.

Women's Personal Development Growth Coaching in Cave Creek, AZ

Women are beautiful, unique individuals. But many seem to suffer from the same universal theme - an inner critic that hinders true growth and sabotages them from a fulfilling, happy life.

As a therapist, Christy Maxey spent much of her time working directly with women just like you. Christy combines an incredible depth of knowledge and guidance with life coaching energy, uncovering your true potential as a woman, free of dysfunction.

Unfortunately, no matter what women do as mothers and employees, many believe that they're never good enough. They feel like they're not worthy, not lovable, and not strong.

If you feel like you're unworthy of success and happiness, it's time for a change. It's time to look in the mirror and take care of yourself, not someone else.

If you're ready to reclaim the life you deserve, your journey to success starts with women's life coaching in Cave Creek. Here are just a few areas that Christy Maxey helps women break free of the chains that keep them down:

Coaching Women Suffering from Pleasing & Codependency

Many women today do everything for everybody else but don't take time to heal or explore personal development. Personal development growth coaching from Christy Maxey can help you address these common issues:

Self-Medicating to Cover Up Feelings of Inadequacy
Feeling like You've Lost Yourself
People Taking Advantage of Your Kindness
Over-Providing for Others

Coaching Women with Unpleasant Emotions

Many women are unsure of how to untangle the mess of emotions they go through. Life coaching in Cave Creek can help you manage your emotions and find the clarity and love you need in your life. Does this sound like you?

Feelings of Shame and Guilt
Issues with Your Career or Job
Unhappiness with Others' Behaviors
Bouts of Sobbing That Lead to Anxiety and Depression

Coaching Women with Self-Confidence Issues

Though every life is valuable, society triggers many women to de-value themselves as they grow older. One of the core components of Christy's life coaching is to help women value who they are. Self-confidence can help by:

Highlighting Positive Attributes Over Shortcomings
Finding Solutions to Confidence Issues
Teaching You How to Love Yourself, Flaws and All
Giving You the Tools to Assert Yourself Without Guilt

If you're a woman and you're ready for change, we've got great news. Women's coaching with Christy is all about change and focus. It's active and experiential coaching that will keep you engaged and accountable to yourself. The result? A life bursting with happiness, fulfillment, and joy.

EMDR Coaching in Cave Creek, AZ

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing, is a powerful technique used to heal people from distressing and disturbing life experiences. EMDR Coaching with Christy Maxey allows the mind to heal from psychological trauma much quicker than traditional therapy methods.

When we go through traumatic experiences, we often associate those events with negative beliefs and emotions like feelings of shame, anger, and inadequacy. EMDR helps the mind reprocess the life-changing event, allowing the client to heal and live a life they love.

Is EMDR Right for You?

Many people are reluctant to try EMDR because of poor results from previous attempts. Christy Maxey's EMDR Coaching includes guided visualization and inner child healing for a more robust approach. This tactic is part of Christy's Maxx Method - a life-changing framework for personal development.

What is the Maxx Method?

You may have received help from a therapist or life coach in Cave Creek, AZ, in the past, only to fall back into bad habits and self-destruction. If that sounds like you, chances are you never addressed the underlying cause of your problems. You cut the weed but never removed the root.

The Maxx Method is a six-part holistic system of evidenced-based tools, exercises, and concepts, developed to help you achieve maximized personal development.

EMDR and the Maxx Method are not only used for extreme traumas. They can be very helpful for common memories and events that foster feelings of low self-esteem and powerlessness, too. These methods were developed to help manage unpleasant emotions, show you how to find deep love, and heal old wounds that keep you stuck.

EMDR and the Maxx Method could be right for you if you have experienced:

Social Anxiety
Loss, Betrayal, and Grief
Negative Core Beliefs
Hurt, Anger, and Sadness
Overthinking
Low Self-Esteem
Lack of Confidence

Break Out of Your Comfort Zone and Be Proud of Your True Self

CAVE CREEK, AZ — Many communities saw flooding, but almost no area reported wind damage like Cave Creek.

Neighbors saw their steel horse stables ripped from the ground and tossed hundreds of yards away. Block walls were crushed. Roofing destroyed.

"We heard a bunch of noise, came out and looked. Everything was gone," said Gordon Dimas. "A couple horses were standing around here. A couple were down there just looking shell-shocked."

Fortunately, the horses - who were in the stables that were knocked over - were completely unscathed.

"We were totally blessed by that. It could’ve been vet bills. Could’ve been putting them down. They could’ve run off and we would’ve had to chase them down," Dimas said.

There's lots of clean-up ahead though.

"We had electrical [issues] we had to deal with. Water that was rushing out," added Dimas. "We were all running around like chickens with our heads cut off."

Mike Adelman, who lives two streets north of Gordon, is also having to do some heavy lifting.

"This literally came from my neighbor's house," said Adelman, motioning to a mangled horse stable in his yard. "We had a microburst here, obviously. It lifted this entire arena and carried it at least 150 to 200 yards, and literally spiked it into my trees."

Adelman, who is a Phoenix Fire captain, said it was one of the craziest weather events he has seen in his 28 years on the job.

Like Dimas, he is grateful his horses and his neighbors are unscathed.

"My wife luckily came out and moved the two new ones into the stable...and the neighbor‘s horse was underneath this [metal] and was still standing there [after] without any injuries. So very lucky on both parts." Adelman added.

The City of Mesa says they’re seeing more than twice the demand they expected for this round of applications.

MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) — If you haven’t already, Tuesday is the deadline for folks to apply for the city of Mesa’s housing voucher program. And already they’re seeing more than twice the demand they expected for this round of applications.

It’s been since 2016 that the City of Mesa opened its waitlist for Section 8 vouchers. When the city’s housing authority opened up applications for its latest round, they expected about 10,000 people to sign up to hopefully get a spot on the waitlist. But when Arizona’s Family checked in with housing officials Monday evening, they already had 19,000 applications.

“What that tells me is that housing is tough right now. The market rents are high. People are scraping by to be able to afford those rents. And they all need the assistance. They’re willing to work and pay a portion. But then they need that subsidy as well,” said Mary Brandon, the deputy director of Community Services & Housing for Mesa.

Out of those applicants, only 4,000 people will be selected to be put on the waitlist. Those housing vouchers are funded by HUD. Even if someone does get put on the waitlist, Brandon says the wait time could be up to three years before help is given. The city also faces another challenge of having a hard time finding and retaining landlords who will accept them.

In the last three years, the number of Section 8 landlords in Mesa has dropped from 500 to 300, according to Brandon.

“There are landlords that have chosen not to work with the program because they say they can get a higher rent without our program. Also, they think the little bit of paperwork they don’t need right now. So it has been a challenge but we’ve also had some really great landlords that have stuck with us and are assisting residents,” she said.

People have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to apply in person at the housing authority office located at 200 S. Center St, Bldg. 1, Mesa, AZ 85210. Applicants can also find a link online: https://www.mesaaz.gov/residents/housing/application-wait-list

Utah-based coffee franchise to make Phoenix-area debut later this year with local development deal

Source: Beans & Brews Coffeehouse

Beans & Brews Coffeehouse, a Utah-based coffee franchise that is known as the "Home of High-Altitude Roasting," announced a new development deal to bring three locations to the Phoenix area. The brand is partnering with Howard Sparks, Jr., his wife Brandi Adams, Marty and Tabitha Carter, and Pete and Paige Hargis to bring Beans & Brews to San Tan Valley and Queen Creek.

“This partnership marks a major milestone in reaching Beans & Brews’ growth potential and accurately reflects the quality of franchisees we are seeking to invest in our future,” said Kim Falk, vice president of franchise development. “Breaking into a new market like Phoenix is a tremendous step forward for us, and we look forward to ingratiating ourselves with the local community.”

The partnership group brings a diverse background that makes them an ideal fit to expand Beans & Brews Coffeehouse further into Arizona. The group is confident that their combined experience within many different business sectors will allow them to be successful in bringing the brand to San Tan Valley and Queen Creek.

With a career in the finance industry, Sparks, Jr. worked as a fraud, risk and underwriting manager, where he learned to understand business processes, finances and budgeting, which will play a key role in the growth and development of Beans & Brews in San Tan Valley and Queen Creek. Spark’s wife, Brandi, has a wide range of experience ranging from retail, accounting to working as a pathology technician. Her previous work endeavors have enabled her to be detail-oriented, meticulous and a strong asset in a communal environment.

Carter, who served nearly 20 years in the United States Coast Guard, carries a decade of experience in the food and drink space, as he worked for a well-known fast-food entity prior to his new journey with Beans & Brews. Tabitha, Carter’s wife, worked in the customer service sector for over 15 years. As a mother and customer service professional, she provides a patient presence with strong interpersonal skills.

Serial entrepreneurs, the Hargis duo round out the partnership group. Paige currently serves as a full-time real estate agent in Arizona, while Pete owns and operates a sport training facility dedicated to creating a balanced life structure for athletes. The husband-and-wife duo also own a rental property company committed to providing homes to those who are not yet at a place to purchase a home.

“Our team fell in love with Beans & Brews after learning that it’s a family business,” said Sparks, Jr. “The brand’s saying ‘We don’t just brew coffee, we brew community,’ really resonated with our group and we are excited for the opportunity to provide the community a place to gather and enjoy one another’s company.”

At Beans & Brews Coffeehouse, the brand focuses on embracing its unique mountain lifestyle and “come as you are” atmosphere all while delivering quality service and products. The brand’s menu uses the finest ingredients and has been perfected after nearly three decades. It offers a variety of high-altitude roasted coffees, breakfast foods, sandwiches, sodas and teas as well as numerous dairy substitutions, meat-free and plant-based products.

Beans & Brews Coffeehouse is also passionate about supporting its community through charitable giving. The brand launched its Brew Good program, which makes donations to different local organizations and nonprofits. Through the program, the brand’s guests get to vote on which organization receives donations.

“Community is at the root of everything we do at Beans & Brews Coffeehouse,” said CEO and founder, Jeff Laramie. “We work to not only provide our guests with a great space to enjoy their favorite cup of coffee, but we also give back to our communities and the charitable organizations that they’re passionate about.”

Franchising since 2004, Beans & Brews Coffeehouse has 67 locations open across four states and has 20 locations in development. The brand is looking for franchise partners across the U.S. with a goal of awarding 30 licenses by the end of 2022.

Beans & Brews Coffeehouse is actively seeking single and multi-unit franchise partners who have a passion for a quality cup of coffee, guest satisfaction and engagement with their community. Franchise partners must have a positive, upbeat attitude and a strong ability to create a team-focused atmosphere. Including the franchise fee, the initial investment for a Beans & Brews Coffeehouse location ranges from $400,000 to $650,000.

ASU releases Week 1 depth chart vs. NAU; Timarcus Davis, Jordan Clark out

The Arizona State Sun Devils football team on Monday released the depth chart for its Week 1 matchup against the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks.

With head coach Herm Edwards having already named Florida transfer Emory Jones as the starting quarterback on Aug. 18, the bigger questions for offensive starters were at the wide receiver and tackle positions.

On the defensive side of the ball, Edwards said after practice on Monday that defensive backs Timarcus Davis and Jordan Clark will both be out against NAU due to injuries, but anticipates both of them to be available Week 2 against Oklahoma State in Stillwater on Sept. 10.

Queen Creek High School graduate Isaia Glass has beaten out Northern State transfer Emmit Bohle at left tackle, while Penn State transfer Des Holmes will start at right tackle. The rest of the offensive line was already solidified between the tackles with left guard LaDarius Henderson, center Ben Scott and San Diego State transfer Chris Martinez at right guard. Iowa State transfer and Deer Valley High School alumnus Joey Ramos will serve as the backup at RG and RT, as well as third-string long snapper.

At wide receiver, Elijhah Badger has won the starting Z spot with Virginia Union transfer Charles Hall IV and Chad Johnson Jr. behind him. The jury still appears to be out for the X and H positions, however, as Bryan Thompson or Andre Johnson will be at X and Gio Sanders or Vanderbilt transfer Cam Johnson will play the H.

The tight end and fullback positions, or Y/H on the depth chart, has the trio of Case Hatch, Jalin Conyers and Missouri transfer Messiah Swinson all listed as potential starters. With Hatch standing at only 6-foot-1 and 235 pounds compared to Conyers’ 6-foot-4, 265-pound frame and Swinson’s towering 6-foot-8, 255-pound body, Hatch will likely serve as more of a fullback while Conyers and Swinson play tight end.

At running back, ASU designated Wyoming transfer Xazavian Valladay or Daniyel Ngata as the starters. The anticipation is that Valladay will be the primary back.

Defensively, Tautala Pesefea Jr. or Miami transfer Nesta Jade Silvera will be the team’s starting nose tackle. The Soelle brothers of Kyle and Connor will start at MIKE and WILL backer, respectively.

With Davis and Clark out, Auburn transfer Ro Torrence and Ed Woods will get their first starts for ASU at cornerback. D.J. Taylor, Macen Williams or Hawaii transfer Khoury Bethley will be the team’s nickel corner, while either Kejuan Markham or Bethley will be at one of the two safety spots. Bethley has the most tackles of any returning player in the country and the second-most defensive snaps of any returner in the nation.

Last but not least is who the place kicker will be, as assistant coach and special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum will “ride the hot hand” (or foot) of true freshman Carter Brown or redshirt freshman Jace Feely, the son of former Arizona Cardinals K Jay Feely.

ASU hosts NAU on Thursday at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN 620 AM / 98.7 FM HD-2.
