In March 2020, as the world was advised to stay indoors, a cultural phenomenon was born. The Netflix documentary series, Tiger King, was an instant hit, spawning countless memes, and making stars of Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin.Carole had lived a life of conservation and animal protection, stemming from a childhood fascination with wild animals.But following the sudden disappearance of her husband, and an ongoing feud with the outlandish Joe Exotic, controversy seemed to follow her everywhere. She’s faced lawsuits, death threats and even accusations that she murdered her husband and fed him to the tigers.So I wanted to get her side of the story, and find the truth behind Tiger King.Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

My beautiful mum Ann Marie Woodall passed away at 2pm on 2/2/22. (All the 2’s)She was a true Entrepreneur, born in Manchester, Ex playboy bunny girl in Mayfair casino in the 70’s, ran pubs in London in the 80’s, and the 90’s onwards she trained in Hawaii and specialised in the power of the mind, relationships and transformations.I want to celebrate her amazing life as she was a trail blazer and someone who lit up a room when she walked in.12 months ago she was told she had the big ‘C’ & had 6 months to live.She didn’t want to go down the Chemotherapy route & took the other route of Cannabis oils, CBD, Fasting, Spirituality, Meditation so she could spend a guaranteed 6 months with us.Anyway she surpassed that, lasted 12 months with 11 months of bliss and this past month deteriorated quickly which was truly heartbreaking to see.As a kid she gave me two of the most beautiful gifts; ‘Belief’ and having an ‘Optimistic’ mindset.She taught me to always have a laugh at every opportunity, don’t take life seriously at all, spirituality, the importance of having good loyal friends and that people will always remember how you made them feel.She has helped thousands of people across the world with her healing and transformation workshops in the roughest parts of South Africa, Thailand, Canada, USA, Vietnam & UK.She also wrote a book called the ‘High Heeled Healer’. She taught me many things that will stick with me for life “A pound a man”, “ Break the rules”, “Everyone is a contact”, “Believe in miracles”, “Your word is your wand”, “Never stop manifesting”, “Try everything once”, “If you dream it, you can do it” and all these sayings have helped me get to where I am today.Anyway I just wanted to share a snippet of her life as I’m not letting her slip away without a big shout out from her son.She was a kind woman who saw the good in everyone, the wisest person I’ve ever come across in my lifetime, a true inspiration to me.You did a great job mum and you’ve left me in a really good place to to carry on your legacy.Love ya mum x‘Nam Myoho Renge Kyo’Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.
