 I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Keisha, a DEI Consultant who specializes in Racial Literacy, and a trauma-informed coach with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Keisha has an impressive background, and her journey is nothing short of remarkable. Dr. Keisha is the first African-American to graduate with a MA degree from Beijing Normal University in Beijing, China, and the first African-American to obtain a Ph.D. from the University of Hong Kong. She is also a published academic scholar, global keynote speaker, and has worked at the highest levels of education policy in Paris, France. Despite these accomplishments, Dr. Keisha has faced significant adversity throughout her life. During our conversation, Dr. Keisha shared with us how she found her voice in her trauma. She spoke candidly about the pain and suffering she endured as a survivor of relational trauma in her upbringing and her path to unlearning religion to relearning relationships. She also shared how these experiences motivated her to become a trauma-informed coach and use her voice to help others who have faced similar challenges.  I was struck by Dr. Keisha's resilience and her ability to turn her pain into a source of strength. She spoke about the importance of seeking support, healing, and self-care when dealing with trauma, and the power of using one's voice to create change. I believe that Dr. Keisha's story will resonate with many of you, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. I hope that her journey will inspire you to find your own strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Follow Kesiha:www.drkeishacares.comIG: @drkeishacares.comSupport the showSubscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/awaken-to-purpose-podcast/id1547740739Subscribe to the Awaken to Purpose YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrlP4_rGBiSUSC6VMhftpbA/featuredFollow me on IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamdrvernellTake The FREE Purpose Walk Quiz: https://vdeslonde.kartra.com/survey/ZJtoXfdP3elFPurchase my book, From Pain to Purpose: https://drvernell.com/from-pain-to-purpose/ Grab my Freebie on the 5 Pitfalls to Avoid When Pursuing Profitable Opportunities with Schools & Districts: https://bit.ly/5_Pitfalls_FreebieIf you're ready to sell to schools and districts, sign up for the Position Your Proposal with Purpose Course: https://bit.ly/P3Accelerator

In this episode, Faith Barker shares her incredible testimony of moving beyond the life she desperately wanted to live the life she created for herself."One of the things that I struggled with a lot when I was younger was not my mother's crack addiction, because I processed that, and obvious and it was visual, and it was tangible.  I went to foster care, my mother deteriorated. My sisters and I were separated.  In the end, what was most impactful to me was not knowing my father, I don't know who he is. I don't know where he is. I don't know if he knows that I exist, and the lack of a consistent male presence did not serve me well in life."This newly married, woman of faith values living authentically and maximizing individual potential, and desires that same gift for older adults and adults with disabilities throughout their life span.   Faith was a Title IV-E recipient and holds a Master of Social Worker degree with an emphasis on administration and planning from San Francisco State University.Follow Faith on IG @fmbelovedSubscribe to the podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/awaken-to-purpose-podcast/id1547740739Subscribe to the Awaken to Purpose YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrlP4_rGBiSUSC6VMhftpbA/featuredFollow me on IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamdrvernellTake The FREE Purpose Walk Quiz:  https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/preview/6144ce8b823a0b0018508aa5Join the waitlist for my upcoming Live Your Purpose: Unleashing Your Influence and Impact:  Group Coaching Program - https://vernell-deslonde-s-school.teachable.comPurchase my book, From Pain to Purpose:  https://drvernell.com/from-pain-to-purpose/Ready to start a podcast: Buzzsprout is the best platform to get started:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1540366 Support the show (https://cash.app/$Vdezz)

Suzette Vearnon is an author, speaker, life coach, and relationship solutionist with one resounding message:  You Are Enough.  Her motivation to empower others was first evidenced at the age of 7 when she first taught her younger sister to play the piano.  Since then, it has evolved into her own patented transformational methodology called the MusicMath® Approach to Dating and Relating that focuses on 3 critical factors of enoughness:  your Voice, your Value, and your Vision.    By amplifying these factors, Suzette helps high achieving women and a few cool men get clear about what makes them enough; thereby ending the suffering that comes from not knowing.  " I grew up in a dysfunctional Christian home. I know it doesn't sound like it makes sense. But that's what it was. It's like it was Jesus, Jesus, Jesus all the time. Everything revolved around God and serving Him and, and all those different indoctrinations and though there was a sincerity about it, it was severely dysfunctional in the interpretation of the Bible and all those things. So growing up in my household, I think the biggest impact was that my father was a binge drinker. He struggled with that my for as long as I can remember. But the interesting thing about it is he would binge drink, and go all the way to the left. Like talking to himself in the bathroom, you know, that mumbling when people get real sloppy drunk, and the mumbling and fussing at themselves in the bathroom.

In this episode, Arika Davenport shares her story of leaving her job to step into the role that God has called her to - helping busy moms identify, utilize, and monetize their God-given gifts to create a real impact in the world. "Before I became a purpose coach and before I launched my platform She Pursues Purpose, I was a woman who had lost her identity.  As a wife, a mother, and an employee, I lost who I was as an individual; I didn't know what I like to do. I felt like something was missing. I knew that there was more, but I didn't know what that was. I didn't know where to start.  I eventually went on what I call my own personal spiritual retreat right at home. And it's where I began to connect with God. "In the pursuit of my own purpose, I realized over time, that God had been equipping and showing me how to help other women just like me,  discover their purpose.  So it started off with just this personal journey, but I quickly realized that I wasn't the only woman who lost her identity and that I wasn't the only woman who knew that there was more but didn't know where to start.   So in this personal pursuit, I started my business to help women to discover their gifts and strengths, and pursue their purpose. Follow Arika at www.shepursuespurpose.com or follow her on IG @ she.pursues.purposeSubscribe to the podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/awaken-to-purpose-podcast/id1547740739Subscribe to the Awaken to Purpose YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrlP4_rGBiSUSC6VMhftpbA/featuredFollow me on IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamdrvernellTake The FREE Purpose Walk Quiz:  https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/preview/6144ce8b823a0b0018508aa5Join the waitlist for my upcoming Live Your Purpose: Unleashing Your Influence and Impact:  Group Coaching Program - https://vernell-deslonde-s-school.teachable.comPurchase my book, From Pain to Purpose:  https://drvernell.com/from-pain-to-purpose/Ready to start a podcast: Buzzsprout is the best platform to get started:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1540366 Support the show (https://cash.app/$Vdezz)
