Discover Deep Transformational Life Coaching in Cave Creek, AZ
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

- 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

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
The world is changing. People are finally learning how to manage their own human experiences. But we can't do it alone. Christy Maxey is here to guide you on the path to a positive, guilt-free life. If you're ready to look inward, find peace, and develop the skills to love your true self, you're in the right place. After all, you've been suffering long enough.

Faraday Copper Reports 52.38 metres at 1.05% Copper at Copper Creek in Arizona
Faraday Copper Corp.https://www.accesswire.com/740414/Faraday-Copper-Reports-5238-metres-at-105-Copper-at-Copper-Creek-in-Arizona
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2023 / Faraday Copper Corp. (" Faraday " or the " Company ") (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results from three drill holes at its Copper Creek Project, located in Arizona, U.S. ("Copper Creek").

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2023 / Faraday Copper Corp. (" Faraday " or the " Company ") (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results from three drill holes at its Copper Creek Project, located in Arizona, U.S. ("Copper Creek"). The three holes were drilled to confirm either continuity of high-grade mineralization or the potential extension of known mineralization outside of the open pit mineral resource.
Highlights
Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented "The results from our ongoing Phase II drill program continue to improve our confidence in the continuity of the high-grade mineralization within the open pit resource and confirm extensions to depth."
Drill hole FCD-22-018was collared north of the Copper Knight breccia and drilled to the southwest, testing the Copper Prince breccia and surrounding areas. This high-grade mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite breccia cement within Copper Prince. Mineralization remains open at depth and is interpreted to be connected to the massive sulphide mineralization reported in the news release dated January 17, 2023 (Figures 1 and 2).
Drill hole FCD-22-017was collared north of the Copper Knight breccia at the same drill pad as FCD-22-018 but was drilled to the northeast. This hole was drilled into the granodiorite host rock where no previous drill data existed. Disseminated mineralization was intersected grading 0.24% copper over 19.62 m from 98.18 m. This interval occurs at the margin of the pit shell used for the Mineral Resource Estimate and has the potential to convert waste to ore.
Drill hole FCD-22-010was collared north of the Holly breccia and drilled to the south. The hole intersected pyrite-cemented breccia from approximately 158 m to 220 m. In addition, several breccia intervals of 0.5 m to 3 m widths contain pyrite and minor chalcopyrite between 241 m and 263 m. While no significant copper mineralization was returned, based on sulphide zonation, chalcopyrite is expected to increase with depth and therefore the lower Holly breccia remains a target.
Figure 1: Plan View Showing Drill Holes Reported in this News Release
Note: The open pit shell is based on constraints used in the MRE as presented in the report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Copper Creek Project, Arizona" dated August 18, 2022 (the "Technical Report").
Figure 2: Cross Section Showing Drill Holes FCD-22-017 and FCD-22-018
Notes: All intercepts are reported as downhole drill widths. True widths are approximate due to the inherently irregular shape of mineralized domains.
Table 2: Collar Locations from the Drill Holes Reported Herein
Note: Coordinates are given as World Geodetic System 84, Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 12 north (WGS84, UTM12N).
Next Steps
Phase II drilling continues and is focussed on three objectives:
Fifteen drill holes have been completed and the results for six holes have been released to date. The assay results for additional completed drill holes will be released as they are received, analyzed and confirmed by the Company.
Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance
All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's geologists and the chain of custody from Copper Creek to the independent sample preparation facility, ALS Laboratories in Tucson, AZ, was continuously monitored. The samples were taken as ½ core, over 2 m core length. Samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard analytical methods including a 4-Acid ICP-MS multielement package and an ICP-AES method for high-grade copper samples. Gold was analyzed on a 30 g aliquot by fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. A certified reference sample was inserted every 20 th sample. Coarse blanks were inserted every 20 th sample. Approximately 5% of the core samples were cut into ¼ core and submitted as field duplicates. On top of internal QA-QC protocol, additional blanks, reference materials and duplicates were inserted by the analytical laboratory according to their procedure. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.

Arizona CTE needs to refocus on promises made to taxpayers

Recently I had the privilege of being a panelist on an Arizona Capitol Times webinar titled “The Future of Career and Technical Education in Arizona.” People from all across the great State of Arizona tuned in for a discussion on the history of CTE and where we see it heading in the future. One aspect that merits more discussion is the “why” behind the creation of Arizona’s Career Technical Education Districts (CTEDs) and how we are fulfilling promises made to voters and taxpayers.
When CTEDs were created in 1990, vocational education in Arizona was mostly traditional shop and home economics classes offered in high schools. Educators at the time in Arizona’s largest school district, Mesa Public Schools, realized vocational education needed to improve in order to meet the demands of industry and ensure students were qualified and prepared to enter the workforce. This meant increasing the quality of these programs with equipment, supplies, and training that met the latest industry standards, training that would be too expensive for one school or district to provide on its own. They pursued legislation allowing districts to pool resources by forming one technical district, a plan which would have to be approved by voters, “for the purpose of improving CTE offerings and serving students more cost-efficiently.”
This is how and why the East Valley Institute of Technology – Arizona’s first CTED – was born. After the legislation passed, voters in 10 East Valley school districts agreed to tax themselves to create EVIT, a CTED that would provide higher-quality career training in a cost-efficient way to better prepare students for employment in the modern workforce. (Voters in the Cave Creek Unified School District agreed in a 2018 election to also join the EVIT CTED.)
Legislation allowed EVIT to build central campuses featuring the latest equipment and technology that students residing in any of the member districts could attend. It also afforded high schools in partnering districts to still offer some vocational classes, known as CTED satellite programs. Like the state’s other 13 CTEDs, EVIT receives funding through local, state and federal sources based on student enrollment. The EVIT CTED levies a property tax of 5 cents per $100 of secondary net assessed property valuation and also qualifies for basic state aid to fund its central campuses. The EVIT CTED’s member school districts receive pass-through dollars from the CTED to support their satellite CTE courses.
CTE is one component of public education in which outcomes can be measured immediately. Students take state skills assessments to verify their attainment of technical knowledge and skills in a particular occupation or industry, and most programs prepare students to take a professional certification or licensing exam such as the Certified Nursing Assistant exam through the Arizona Board of Nursing or the Cosmetology exam through the state Board of Cosmetology. We are also required to track the placement of our students in college, the military, or jobs related to their training after they graduate from high school. But none of these outcomes are possible if students don’t persist from the first course of a program to the next.
In the EVIT CTED, we see large numbers of students enrolling in the first course of satellite programs, but not persisting to the second course in the program. The number of students declines further from the second course to the third. We also see this pattern to a lesser extent in some of our central campus programs. This does not improve CTE, is not providing CTE in a cost-efficient manner, and does not help build a workforce for Arizona industries in dire need of skilled workers and professionals. It does not meet the promises that were made to taxpayers.
The EVIT Governing Board has begun addressing this issue by taking a closer look at which central campus programs should continue to be offered and whether to approve new satellite programs in our school districts, especially if those programs are already offered at a central campus. It does not make sense, and is poor stewardship of tax dollars, to continue expanding or duplicating programs in which students do not persist to a viable outcome. Our taxpayers deserve better and students deserve better.
Career and technical education is a wonderful thing when it is done right. It raises graduation rates by keeping students engaged in learning that is relevant to them. It gives students a leg up on being prepared for the workforce and college. For students who do not intend to go to college, CTE is their preparation for employment upon graduation from high school. But expanding CTE so more students can be placed into electives, students who may have no intention of making that elective their career path, is not the promise we made to our communities and taxpayers over 30 years ago. It does not match the “why” for which CTEDs were created.
Dr. Chad Wilson is superintendent of the East Valley Institute of Technology, a Career Technical Education District serving students who reside in the Apache Junction, Cave Creek, Chandler, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Higley, J.O. Combs, Kyrene Elementary, Mesa, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Tempe Elementary and Tempe Union districts.

Swearingen instrumental in Bothwell Foundation transformation
Sedalia Democrathttps://www.sedaliademocrat.com/stories/swearingen-instrumental-in-bothwell-foundation-transformation,37678

For 11 years, Stafford Swearingen has been a fixture at Bothwell Regional Health Center, serving in many volunteer roles. He joined the Bothwell Foundation Board of Directors in 2011 and held terms as vice president and president. In 2019 Swearingen was appointed to the Bothwell Board of Trustees yet remained on the foundation board as trustee liaison.
After moving out of state in December, Swearingen left his trustee position; however, he is still a Bothwell Foundation board member.
Lauren Thiel-Payne, foundation executive director, said Swearingen’s decade-long leadership has been instrumental in the foundation’s success and plans, citing his genuine warmth, community connections and desire to lead by example.
“Stafford is so welcoming to everyone and is an amazing asset to our board,” she said. “His knowledge of Sedalia — the history, community, businesses, really everything, has been so beneficial to me as well as the hospital. He also is the first to volunteer for an event, participate in new ideas and be there to lend a helping hand.”
Over the past 18 months, the foundation has focused on growing its volunteer base by moving away from multiple events to increasing awareness of the health center, creating giving programs that anyone can participate in and thereby increasing the amount of support the foundation provides Bothwell. Thiel-Payne said one of Swearingen’s greatest accomplishments on the board has been his involvement in that transformation.
“Stafford wholeheartedly believed in the need to elevate the foundation and promised to recruit six new board members and help recruit six committee chairs,” she said. “He has stayed true to his word and helped us accomplish those goals.”
Swearingen said making the decision to change the direction of the foundation was easy and means ensuring the future of Bothwell Regional Health Center.
“Our hospital cannot survive in its current form without a thriving, growing and prospering foundation to financially support it,” he said. “Bothwell’s payer mix, which is the percentage of revenue that comes from private insurance, government insurance and self-pay patients, and the changing employment picture dictate an alternate source of funds for the hospital to continue to provide the services needed to keep our patients close to their homes and families.”
The foundation is a nonprofit organization formed in 2005 to assist Bothwell Regional Health Center and provide resources to keep health care local, state-of-the-art and close to home. In 17 years, more than $4.5 million has been given to Bothwell by the foundation through fundraising, special events and sound investments.
The foundation’s new structure has added six volunteer-led committees, including Special Prospects, Annual Giving, Community Relations, Employee Giving, Business Relations and Planned Giving. Adding in existing Wear Red for Women and Lub Dub committees, foundation volunteers now total more than 100. With a team that includes just one full-time and one part-time paid foundation staff members, recruiting volunteer talent and resources is critical to the organization’s ability to create awareness and raise funds.
“For the foundation to thrive, we have to have a strong volunteer base,” Thiel-Payne said. “We rely on volunteers to drive our committees, help share our message with the community and support our mission. We wouldn’t be here without our volunteers.”
While COVID-19 placed incredible financial strains on Bothwell for the last three years, Swearingen is confident Bothwell is in good hands.
“These people are the best,” he said. “The current leadership team, hospital and foundation boards, employees and volunteers are doing everything they can to ensure that those who need medical care are going to receive the best care they can deliver with the resources available. We simply need this hospital to flourish if our community is to grow and thrive.”
While Swearingen and his wife, Gena, now live in Cave Creek, Arizona, it doesn’t mean he won’t still be involved in the community and the foundation as a board member.
“It has truly been an honor to serve on the foundation and trustees’ boards and give back to an institution that has done so much for my family when needed,” he said. “Now, I’m just a regular Joe, but hopefully still contributing and making a difference.”

“As we continue to expand our footprint nationally by investing in new markets, our focus is on high-quality assets in growth markets – so it was a natural fit for us to look at Phoenix, which was the fastest- growing big city in America between 2010 and 2020 according to the U.S. Census Bureau and has since continued to experience population growth,” said Blas Puzon, chief investment officer with Chicago-based Draper and Kramer.
Apartments at Senita on Cave Creek measure from 640 to 1,353 square feet and feature open layouts, gourmet kitchens, vaulted ceilings with crown molding, hardwood-style flooring, walk-in closets, full-size in-unit laundry, and balconies or patios in select units. Residents have access to an extensive amenities package that includes a resort-style pool with cabanas, 24-hour fitness center, spin/yoga room with Peloton bikes, pet park and indoor wash station, bike storage room, outdoor gaming area, and covered and garage parking. The property offers scenic views of the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve and surrounding mountains and is in close proximity to nearby nature walking paths and hiking trails.
“With its newer construction and best-in-class amenities, paired with a central location near job opportunities, leisure activities and local attractions, Senita on Cave Creek checks all the boxes in terms of the features and lifestyle today’s renters are seeking,” said Jack Bierwirth, vice president, investment management, with Draper and Kramer. “That made this acquisition a solid investment for us and an ideal complement to our portfolio as we evaluated opportunities to enter the Phoenix market.”
