I am Thru the Roof EXCITED to be speaking with my this weeks guest on Empowered Conversations, Jonathan Powell!!!Jonathan is from Indianapolis, IN. He currently does resale jobs for his landlord and sidewalk chalk advertisements. Battling homelessness for 10 years, Jonathan was often disregarded and treated as if getting himself out of homelessness was as simple as the snap of a finger! He was often approached by “unaware” people who would say to him, “Why don't you just get a job?!” On Wednesday, Jonathan will share the fact that getting oneself out of homelessness is not such a simple task; it is a complex issue that requires education and better solutions.Jonathan is fed up with most of the current outreach programs he has experienced in IN and wants to start his own outreach team to educate people how to survive and live on the streets, as well as educate, “regular” people about the challenges homeless people face day to day. Jonathan wants to break the stereo type that all homeless people are on drugs or are too lazy to work! Jonathan says, “that's ridiculous!!” “If I don't teach people about the problems, then we cannot create solutions.”I myself have experience with helping the homeless; I am part of the organization, Atheist Helping the Homeless. We gather the 1st Saturday or Sunday of every month to distribute, toiletries, clothing and other items that most take for granted. We are NEVER there to proselytize, only help! I will share my own personal experience engaging and talking with many of them. Jonathan is 100% RIGHT, it is not laziness or a drug problem that has placed so many of them in the situation of being without a home to live in or possessing the basic human necessities needed in order to have comfort! In my experience it is the exact opposite, they are so gracious and giving and never greedy or lazy and ALSO go out of their way to look out for one other! So join us tomorrow LIVE at 1:00 pm EST, this will surely be another EPIC Empowered Conversation, you won't wanna miss!!!!!If you would like to come and volunteer with our group, click below here. We welcome EVERYONE!!

On this episode of EC, I share what all I have been up to and brought forth the past few months, including OFFICIALLY starting my private chef & catering business, as well as I share persevering through my, “dark night of the soul” journey!! I go into detail about what, “dark night of the soul” actually means, NO, I was not suicidal! If many of you remember,  several months ago, I went to the beach specifically intending, thru a micro-dose of psilocybin, to experience epiphanies and release ANYthing blocking me or no longer serving me and potentially inhibiting me from further fulfilling and embodying my purpose… but with no luck! My “higher self” (this is what I believe!) said, “NOPE, that ain't how we gon do this Stephanie! In order to fully release and heal the baggage you've brought into this lifetime, you're going to go on a roller coaster ride of scary, confused and gut wrenching emotions; THAT will bring about these epiphanic revelations you are seeking, hence heal and releeeeeease!” Annnnnnd that's what I did! It sucked, but was worth it! Often times our “intentions” surface in unexpected ways, ways that are painful, but in order to get through it, and to the other side of where you belong, and are WORTHY of being, it can be a painful process! Intentionally asking for (this) was the catalyst! Be intentional! If you're going through a difficult time, ask questions, ask questions, and keep asking questions… answers will eventually be revealed!If you keep attracting the same bullshit  situation or situations into your life, ask questions, ask questions, and keep asking questions… answers will eventually be revealed!This is my story and I'm stickin to it!

From being compared to a masturbation scene during a sales meeting... at the office... on a Friday morning, to being bullied and having my feelings constantly hurt as a child, to how my mamas lack of self worth and hate for herself, As Well AS, so often throughout my life being told I'm "Too Much"... is ALL part of what has shaped my life, my destiny and my purpose! During this interview on, "All Things Authentic", I share my "truth" and my "why" of how all these life happenings have been catalysts and paramount in my own personal development and empowerment. This has also fueled my inspiration to become a worthiness and health coach, assisting others in the facilitation of the worth and value I possess about myself... into their lives!!!This was recorded a few months back and the podcast host experienced some sound quality issues on her end, so you can not hear her, however I am LOUD AND CLEAR, so my truth is worth sharing! EnFaRekinJOY!Check me out at  https://defarekinlicious.com/

She was a stay-at-home mom for 14 years.

Jim had a near death experience that changed the trajectory of his life forever!! During the time he felt that "transition" was taking place, he thought to himself, I am dying but then he came to the realization that he was not ready to die, so he "came back to LIFE" and this sent him soaring in the opposite direction to purposefully and intentionally creating his life and wanting to help others do the same!! Jim Black is a certified career and life coach who lives in New Hampshire, USA.  He specializes in helping people find their professional calling, and he takes a holistic approach with his clients. Believing that just getting a job is not enough, Jim helps people discover what really motivates and energizes them, so they can create the life they WANT and have a career that supports it!Once they have that clarity, he shows them the best ways to find employment based on his training and his decades of experience in the job hunt.According to Jim, “I learned what to do and what not to do when looking for jobs, so I decided to pass along what I learned by starting my own practice, Destination Vocation”.  As Jim says, “This is a challenging, uncertain time for job seekers.  It's more important than ever to be clear about what you want, what you can offer an employer, how to market your skills, and how to go about the job search effectively and efficiently!”

Danielle takes the stress out of copywriting and marketing so, conscious entrepreneurs can do what they do best — empowering clients. She's a creative nerd with a decade of entrepreneurial know-how, fifteen years of professional wellness experience, and a BS in Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Danielle has compassionately empowered thousands on well-being journeys as an Expert Contributing Writer, Holistic Wellness Radio Show Host, LMT, RD, and Mental Health Advocate. Her heart-centered leadership and intuitive marketing savvy transformed a startup massage practice from a team of three therapists to an award-winning practice of fifteen therapists serving 11,000+ clients. The pandemic and burnout led to her bittersweet decision to sell the company in 2020, but everything happens (for) us instead of (to) us, especially the hard things. She wasn't sure how to turn her passion for writing into a living, and it took a bit to get her bearings. But once she relaxed and created from a space of joy, things fell into place. Within a month, she was collaborating with women from different time zones, helping overwhelmed entrepreneurs grow their businesses (and minimize their stress) with words and marketing content they could label as their own. Danielle named the business, "Joyful Rising Writing & Marketing" after her fascination with the phoenix, the idea that we can rise from the ashes of pain and suffering. Eleven years ago, she drank charcoal in the back of an ambulance after trauma hijacked her mind. Rape, mental health struggles, divorce, and coming out tested her spirit.

She overlooked her abilities for all of her childhood. She knew she was different than others although she wasn't aware as to why. She was the weird kid in school, who loved art and cooking and pretty much anything that allowed her to be creative. She also found comfort being outside in the garden or hiking in the woods.It wasn't until she was an adult when she started paying attention to what was going on within her. How did she know things before they would happen? Why did she know that a friend was upset? She experienced DeJa'Vu quite frequently. It was then that she made a decision to find out. She read everything she could, had her own psychic readings done, and came to the conclusion that she was an empath. Little did she know, she was so much more. She decided to take her knowledge further and hone her skills by taking classes and receiving certifications in numerous modalities.Her mission is to help others live their best life by providing peace and comfort to those who have lost loved ones through her personal mediumship readings or offer guidance to those who seek it through Oracle Card readings.

Link to join our retreat is below!!Sarrah is a Divine Channel and founder of Holy Light Healing; she is a Reiki master, Certified Lightworker, and Published Author.Sarrah grew up in Ajax, Ontario and now lives in Whitby Ontario with her two amazing boys!Growing up, Sarrah always had a sense of “knowing.” She would say or think something and it would happen. Sarrah had always been interested in the metaphysical world; when she was 16 she made her own ouiji board to connect with her grandfather after he had passed but due to not knowing what she was doing, she connected with an energy that was NOT her grandfather. This literally scared her to death and hence shut down her curiosity.After college she started working with children with special needs and eventually started working with the school board as an educational assistant and got married. The relationship was abusive, so she left. After losing everything in the divorce, she hit rock bottom, suffering deep depression and post-traumatic stress… because she was so focused on everything she had lost, she could no longer see the light! One day she had an epiphany... that SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE, THINGS HAVE TO GET BETTER and that's when her sister encouraged her to get some healing crystals and start mediating! Once she got her crystals and started meditating, is when the doors literally blew right open!!!!Sarrah soon became a Reiki master, started her Reiki practice and wrote her first book, Letters Of Magic!So join us this upcoming Wednesday at 4:30 pm EST (not 1 pm) as this will surely be another epic episode, you won't wanna miss!!!!https://fb.me/e/2coeDoI1x

I am So thru the roof ExCiTed to be speaking with my next guest on Empowered Conversations, Gil Nelson!!Gil is a facilitator of transformation. A native New Yorker, Gil moved to Connecticut when he was 11, was very active in his community and after high school, went off to study Theatre and Philosophy at George Washington University.  In his early adult life, Gil enjoyed an acting career in New York City, where he performed on the Off-Broadway stages and appeared in popular shows like Law and Order! This was before and shortly after his Harmonic Convergence in 1987, at which point he woke up to his inner guidance and began his study of Oriental Medicine and Shiatsu. He's had a rewarding bodywork and spiritual counseling career since the early 90's. In his mid 30's, Gil felt called to the Arizona desert where he became a student of Robert Detzler in the study of Spiritual Response Therapy, of which he has been a trainer and is currently a practitioner.3 years ago, Gil sold his digital marketing agency to his partner and started to look at his skill set(s) with an eye towards where the world is heading (circa 2018-19). He recently said, “During the pandemic, I've been given the chance to re-establish my love for marketing with causes I care about.”  Gil pivoted and created a "Why" statement, ala Simon Sinek, which he says,  “… allows me to focus on a few ‘What's' while remaining true to what keeps me motivated as a service provider." His joy and direction are now stemming from his belief in the value of creating a more mindful community that inspires each person to operate at their full potential. One of the ways Gil does this is to help business executives to standardize their processes for scalability.  Another way that he facilitates transformation is to distribute special nutritional supplements that increase the length of telomeres in the DNA, thereby extending longevity. And last but surely not least, possibly the most impactful way he facilitates transformation is with Spiritual Response Therapy, clearing soul programming that no longer serves.Gil is in the process of building a new web presence and can be reached at: gilscottnelson@gmail.com. There you can schedule a free 15-minute evaluation session.

I am So Absolutely Thrilled to be speaking with my next guest on Empowered Conversations, Jacqueline Twa, who is Living her BEST Life with her BEST Friend!!The mind stretched by a new idea, will never regain its original shape. So I'm comfortable with any conversation but today I was nervous to be talking about authenticity and I'm like hey, I'll just come on and be myself. It's not about everything being perfect, it's about everything being “real” and how more real than for “life” to be happening in the background of an Empowered Conversation!? The pandemic has been a global experience and that is what is so profound that has given us all this truly “linked” feeling. Regardless of how you choose to handle or look at the pandemic, it has been a collective human experience! And it's not just a human experience, look at all the pictures of the animals that surged into the streets of the towns and the cities because there were no people. So much changed in a positive direction, IF you choose to see it that way! As much as I wanted to get back to a “normal” life, there is so much about “Covid” that I don't want to give up! One empowered conversation created 1, million Empowered Conversations because I started talking to people!  Prior to Covid, I was immersed into everything that I was doing in my immediate life but then I realized that my experience is actually a collective experience. It takes age, experience and wisdom to realize you have to cut off the conversations that don't empower you and enrich your life. That deeper sense of “self knowing” comes from diverse experiences, traveling, engaging with people unlike yourself, with different ideas, different cultures, different beliefs systems… based upon their unique lives. A Gratitude Attitude is what it's all about!For the last four years there has been a lot of negativity around the concept of immigration. When we first arrived to Columbia, we were on this tour and as a privileged North American, with a big corporate job with a big corporate salary that enabled me to be living life as I am now. While on this tour, we would see people, not begging for money, but selling things like candy, and other things they bought for cheap, so they can sell to survive and feed their families. This one woman on the trip said out loud “well they can't ALL be from Venezuela”, when the tour guide says “yes our Venezuelan brothers need our help!” That statement right there made by our tour guide told me that this was a place I wanted to stay! Being on the journey to self-awareness is scary… because once you discover to the depths of who you are, you can no longer operate in that same place of “being” that you previously existed in and now you have awoken to the personal responsibility of taking full charge of your life and creating from that newly recognized authentic place! Sadly this is why so many people settle for staying in that state of mediocrity, settling for that state of “not” doing more.  There is a difference between going on a vacation and traveling. Nothing wrong with staying in the five star hotels once in a while but if you really wanna enrich your life and learn what else is out there, you need to travel and go into the places that most don't typically go, because that is where you encounter the beauty of the people and their culture!Gold  Nugget,  after Gold Nugget during this Empowered Conversation!! 

I am So Thru the Roof ExCiTed to be speaking with my next, Oh SO Fabulous guest Viola Chandler, this week on Empowered Conversations!!Viola, successfully left a meaningless life of horrible drug induced decision making, for good... in 2017.Viola took her life back from a world of misery, shame, depression, drug use, homelessness, domestic violence, gang related violence and sex trafficking rings.Now she loves her life!! She is a full time manager for a pharmacy and retail store, while she's also attending school, with the goal of starting her own business!Through her experience, she is on a mission to fill in the gaps that so many rehab centers and addiction treatment meetings are unable reach!

I am So Excited to be speaking with my next guest on Empowered Conversations, Jean Dorff!Jean is a personal life and career coach and a best selling author of, “Broken Silence, Living with Passion and Purpose after Sexual Abuse!”He is also the cofounder of, "A Dancer's Movement to Stop Sexual Abuse." Jean has been a successful international martial arts competitor and ballroom dancer. He developed an interest in movement at an early age, exploring the concept of “conscious movement,” a term he developed to describe a connection of rhythm and movement with mind, body, and soul.Even more than his professional background, it was his personal ordeals that gave him the drive to empower people to overcome their negative experiences and live the life they want. Jean is a victim of sexual abuse and domestic violence himself. Jean pledged to fight the battle against sexual abuse and domestic violence and made it his personal mission to demonstrate how he became (as he calls it) “unbroken” and help others. “I'm unbroken; let me unbreak you” is his motto.Website: www.jeandorff.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jean.dorffTwitter: https://twitter.com/jeanbdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeandorff/

So super excited for this episode of Empowered Conversations, where I speak with my good friend and fellow IIN Health Coach, Elizabeth Colvin!!Elizabeth Colvin is a Certified Institute of Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Certified Aromatherapist, Reflexologist and an owner of two businesses – 1 Minute Facelift and Springboard Wellness.When Elizabeth was 12 her father told her they had a decision to make – move to VA Beach or Spain.  So, they moved to Spain!Living life abroad was all that she knew it would be and more. This started her journey asking the questions on the differences between the two places she had lived – US and abroad.  The enjoyment of life, food, people….it was so very different.She hung out with the locals at the bodega and learned about the aging of wine, the cheesemaker and the importance of using the best quality ingredients. Remedies were known by the locals in the use of medicinal herbs and roots to help with ailments.  This started her journey of learning about herbs and their effect on the body vs pharma.Elizabeth helps guide others to find their answers.  She believes we all know the answers to the questions we have, if we just sit in stillness... it will come.So join us on this episode of Empowered Conversations; this will surely be a Glee-Riddenly, Delightful Conversation!!!!!www.springboardwellness.com
