Women who experience domestic abuse often find themselves silenced, not only by their partners, but also internally. Naa Amerley Asante-Armer knows this reality all too well. Yet, using her own words, “once she hit the eye of the storm,” she found her voice again—a voice that once sang for the masses and who is now running to lead a nation as its President in the West African country of Ghana.

No matter where you live around the globe or what holiday, tradition, or religious ceremony you celebrate, mental health, emotional uneasiness, and your physical health can easily be knocked off-kilter during this time of year. So, this week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into reimagining the holidays through finding and maintaining our center, holding space for ourselves, stripping away expectation, and allowing joy to thrive within the present moment BEFORE the season gets in full swing. Creating a plan now is essential to removing the overwhelm and maintaining your mental health and balance.

Grief and loss are universal experiences. No one lives the entirety of their life without meeting one or the other at some point. But, how you connect and move through grief, pain, and overall upheaval creates the difference between being a shattered person and a self-actualized soul. Priscilla Giddings knows this truth all too well—as her grief story began at age nine with the loss of her father, then transitioned into losing her soulmate after he was murdered, to her mother’s passing quickly from cancer. Yet, while the tragedies stacked up, Priscilla did not back down, especially when a life-altering secret was revealed at her mother’s funeral. A secret that turned her profound loss into a place to call home.

Anxiety is one of those things that simply does not discriminate. It doesn’t know age, race, financial status, education, where you live, what you’ve done, what you do for a living, it can strike and grab ahold of you when things are good or when things are absolute hell. For many, anxiety is a real battle that they feel they have no control over. This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into understanding the difference between worry, stress, and anxiety. In doing so, we’ll journey through how each of these plays out in our lives and ultimately land on five real world techniques that can be used to break the overwhelming cycle of anxiety.

Healing is not a linear process, nor does it have to unfold through a typical “formula” to be considered worthy and life-changing. You see, our healing often takes as many twists and turns as the experience we are trying to heal.

In this week’s episode, we deep dive into finding an openness to our intuitive gifts through Lina Durazo’s story. A story that began with an abusive relationship, car accidents, declining health, unexpected deaths, and seeking healing in a way that would dramatically shift her life’s story. Keep your mind open, Lina’s story will intrigue you…

Everywhere you turn, the word “affirmation” seems to be taunted as the end-all-be-all to shifting your mindset into a permanent place of positivity. Yet, even with the widespread popularity, many question whether affirmations genuinely work or if they are just another personal development/self-help scheme to sell more journals and books. Yet, most do not understand that the practice, when used correctly, does have the powerful ability to shift your mindset and your life! This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into understanding the affirmation practice through factual science, brain chemistry, the thought process, and the ins and outs of making this practice genuinely work in your favor, despite what others may be touting.

What does the term “Work/Life” balance mean to you—especially if you are a mother? For many, the term is laughable and a seemingly unattainable feat. Paula Davies was no expectation until the weight of being “super mom” literally stopped her in her tracks. Hitting rock bottom forced Paula to redefine her connection to her roles as a mother and educator, what happens when we mask our mental health, the healing impact of the Law of Attraction, and how the diagnosis of the mind/body syndrome of Fibromyalgia shifted her entire mindset. Paula walks us through her life revolution and the journey that has dramatically shifted everything within and around her…

Have you ever wondered to yourself…who am I? I bet you have, and yet, I even more willing to bet that when you began to try to formulate an answer, you only allowed yourself to scratch the surface of the real you. The you that is not defined by labels, titles, the roles you play, what you own, or even who you’ve been told you should be.  

What do the words intention and expectation mean to you? For most, they represent an aim, a plan, and how we expect the events in our lives to unfold. Yet, it’s no secret that life has a way of dramatically changing at a moment’s notice, which shifts our expectations and intentions. For Tara Parsons, revealing this great truth started on an icy mountain road and ended in a car accident that dramatically changed her life.

What comes to mind when you hear the word negativity? What do you see, or more importantly, who do you see? The “correct” answer may surprise you as we take a one-on-one deep dive into empowering ourselves through understanding self-esteem and one common unhealthy habit that kills the overall opinion of ourselves, trashes our self-confidence and self-love, and ultimately, and keeps us in cycles that can be exceptionally difficult to break. What is this habit? Self-gaslighting.

Each week, I ask women to be vulnerable, tell their stories, and offer each of us a perspective that we can apply to our own growth. However, it wouldn’t be fair, nor vulnerable, if I didn’t deep dive into a time and place where my own life revolution was in full swing. And yet, it’s a story that I walked through from the outside in. The story belongs to my fourteen-year-old daughter, Madison. A story of facing a life-altering surgery at the age of nine, finding her way through medical turmoil and life without a vital organ, the lessons she taught me, and the realization that both of us found our purpose in moments neither of us was confident we had the strength to survive.

There comes a time where each of us seeks true motivation to heal—a time where we work to release the baggage, the upset, the hard experiences of our lives, and reignite our inner spark. Yet, when that time comes, many of us ask how. How do I even begin to heal? This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into YOUR personal story, into YOUR life revolution through a process and path many of us are seeking right now—the process of emotional healing. So, sit back, grab a pen, and let’s take a mending journey together as we discover what true emotional healing is, the benefits, uncover a major “a-ha” moment, whether or not you are in need of walking through this process, and why we must get uncomfortable to thrive. Getting out of own way is necessary if we want to create the life revolution that inevitably amounts to freedom.

Imagine finding yourself ripped from the only home you’ve ever known, only to be reunited with your birth mother, whom you have no bond or recollection. This is only the beginning of Rhonda Miller’s incredible life story. A story that has been defined by unbelievable lows, undefinable strength, and a fighting spirit that is truly second to none. This is a story of seeking connection, abuse, making the painstaking choice to help raise her younger sister when she, herself, was only just a child, stepping up to be the parent she never had, experiencing a tremendous mental health break and crisis, to finding her power, passion, and purpose. A purpose that literally saved her life. Rhonda walks us through her story and the life revolution of healing, finding herself, choosing to live through her paintbrush, and showing the world we are more than our story. *This episode contains content only suitable for adult audiences.
