Girlfriend, let's talk - Shalimar J In this episode, Shalimar J reflects back on the catalyst behind Girl Embrace It TV. As it happens with any journey toward reinvention and growth, Shalimar found her spark of inspiration to pay it forward during one of her lowest points in life. Shalimar explains how, at the same time she was going through her own dark path, she was seen as the voice of reason among her peers and, therefore, was the go-to-person for advice. Shalimar's most common refrain for these struggling ladies? “Embrace it. Girl, I get it, but embrace it.” There came a point where Shalimar realized that God was leading her to create a platform and a brand where her message can reach more audiences far and wide. Listen in as Shalimar goes on to share on how, as a result of following His guidance, Girl Embrace It TV came to be. She then describes how her faith carried her through an abusive marriage and her attempts to make ends meet while taking care of her children after her divorce. As she explains, it all led to her outreach geared toward survivors of domestic abuse, My Scars Are Beautiful; They Are My Testimony, as well as many other initiatives going forward. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: ● 03:11 The birth of Girl Embrace It TV ● 05:28 Navigating an abusive marriage ● 09:50 Shalimar's temptation at her church ● 14:52 Struggling to take care of her children after the divorce ● 18:56 The birth of Shalimar's outreach, My Scars Are Beautiful; They Are My Testimony ● 20:48 Shalimar's other initiatives ● 22:33 The power of a testimony ● 27:59 Why healing is so difficult ● 29:42 How to get in touch with Shalimar ● 34:02 Shalimar's upcoming projects Key Quotes by Shalimar: ● We don't wake ourselves. He does the waking. ● Never make anyone else's sin be your sin. ● We can get so high and mighty, when God has done the good thing, we don't even hear Him anymore. We hear Him when we're low, and He knows that, but we need to be able to hear him at all times. ● A testimony is a powerful thing and testimonies help heal. ● The hardest part of getting over your it is the starting point of getting through it. ● Be confident in God's plan for you, and He'll do the rest.

Girlfriend, let's talk - Yolanda Mercer In this episode, Reva speaks with Yolanda D. Mercer of Raleigh, North Carolina. She has a love of ministry, consulting, and coaching individuals to discover their hidden gifts. As a licensed educator, counselor, and minister, it is her passion to empower others. She is also the author of three books: Hidden, She Serves: A Guide For Women In Adjutancy, The King's Wife, and Breaking Up with Comparison. Listen in as Yolanda discusses her own experiences with comparison, how being hidden prepares us for the unique journey that God has laid out for us, and how to overcome imposter syndrome and feelings of inadequacy. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: ● 00:57 Yolanda's background in education ● 01:55 Avoiding the comparison trap ● 03:29 Why you don't need to worry about being a “late bloomer” ● 04:51 Allowing yourself to be hidden ● 07:45 What does it mean to be God's masterpiece? ● 09:40 How comparison shows up in our lives ● 14:11 How do social events or platform comparison impact a woman's self-esteem? ● 18:05 Is comparison a learned behavior? ● 22:46 How to get in touch with Yolanda Key Quotes by Yolanda: ● I feel as though when you begin to compare your process to somebody else's process, you really dishonor God's plan for your life, because He is the one that created that plan. ● You're not behind. You did not miss God. God did not forget you. A lot of times, we are just being hidden. I think people negate that moment of just being hidden and allowing God to prepare you and equip you and give you capacity. How can I prepare to become anything that I don't even have the capacity for? I have to be hidden. ● We really have to be cognizant of the discernment between a door of convenience and a door of calling. ● When God sanctions something over your life, you cannot allow comparison to talk you out of it just because you are uncertain and a little fearful of what other people are doing. ● When we can shift what our eyes are taking in and filtering, then we can shift what is being placed in our spirit and close that door to the spirit of comparison. ● Be confident in God's plan for you, and He'll do the rest.

Reva hart, host intereviews Tina Sullivan. Tina Sullivan is the founder and Owner of Mamas Arc, an organization through which she helps struggling moms discover their God given identity and reclaim peace in their lives. She does so by helping them take small courageous steps that lead to their goals and vision in life. Being a mom is a tough job. As a new mom, you slowly lose your sense of identity and independence even without knowing it. So many moms are too busy caring for everyone else in the household that they have no more energy left to cater for themselves. With a loss of their identity, new moms end up erecting new towers of identity in the form of impulse shopping, starting a blog, crafting, posting on social media. Etc Every activity that you engage in as a mother is because of a routine that you've been programmed to. You have so much to do in a single day, that you have no time to step back and renew your physical, mental and spiritual health. Stay tuned into the show and find out the steps you can take to be the woman,mother and wife that God planned you to be. Tina's story. Now a mom of four, Tina got her first child when she got married to her husband, a first year medical student at Bay Area college. When this happened, Tina decided to sacrifice her teaching career in order to become a better mother and partner. All this whilst her husband was studying and providing for them. It's when Tina got her second child a year later that everything began to shift. She began to feel empty and unhappy. She was  ashamed of her unhappiness because she had what society deems a perfect life: A hardworking and providing husband, and two healthy babies. What more did she want? Tina then sought the help of counsellors in order to help recover her mental peace. She was turned away by most of them. To the counsellors, Tina didn't have any problems to fix. There are people out there with actual trauma and depression, ‘Tina should be grateful for the life she has.' Healing Healing can only happen when you decide to view and love yourself the way God does. A lot of people criticize and judge themselves for not having the perfectly good life. The only way to break the circle of mental fatigue is through accepting yourself for who you are. Rediscovering your identity in God Tina helps women take small actions over long periods of time in order to achieve their life goals. By doing this, Tina helps her clients build their faith in God's love for them, and what they do. Quotes It doesn't matter what other people will think, do what you have to do in order to become the mom and wife you want to be. Healing begins when you choose to see and love yourself the way God does. It begins when you step into God's light and start seeing your worth through God's eyes. Believing in God's love for you is what should root your life. This core belief is unshakeable, and you can never really take a step forward in life without being grounded in God's love. If you can focus your actions on loving God, then you'll be able to love and serve other people.  Fear based actions on the other hand only build shame and resentment for oneself and others.

Reva Hart, host and Towannia talk about teaching our children financial literacy. Towannia is the CEO of Six Seeds, a company that offers a diverse range of services to help individuals with their finances, budgets, credit education, and financial literacy. Towannia is also an author and advocate for financial literacy in local schools. This includes daycares, elementary schools, group homes and middle schools. She's committed to the life-long learning of Financial education and how to equip society with all the necessary tools and resources to become the best they can be in financial matters. Towannia's Journey into Financial Education When she was growing up, Towannia couldn't help but notice how her parents always took care of all the bills and still managed to save. His father in particular, took up the role of providing all the basic home needs, and living in line with his retirement plans. Towannia's life path into Financial Education was only magnified when she took a Business and Finance course in college. When she graduated, Towannia took note of how much her peers and other individuals were struggling to keep up with their bills, all because of overspending or impulse buying. Educating your kids on financial literacy. Research shows that children benefit a lot from early financial education. When you mould them with the necessary information at a tender age, children grow up to be responsible with their money, and this helps them cope with challenges like; limit setting, planning and budgeting, resisting impulse buying needs, and saving for the future. Towannia is a believer in educating kids early on the subject of financial literacy. She does this by engaging little children in fun activities such as board games, fun books and field trips. Using schools to educate kids on spending habits. Towannia runs an NGO Program called the Building Blocks foundation. Through this program, Towannia hopes to implement financial literacy as a course in the schools that lack this unit. If you enforce financial education on children while they're both at school and at home, then they have no option but to adapt and live by the culture of healthy financial habits. Timestamps 00:52 Towannia's Journey into the world of Finance. 05:43 Towannia's kid friendly Financial book 08:54 Role of schools in Financial Education 10:23 Financial literacy tips 13:01 Financial Education for millennials. 16:04 How can parents teach their children to be entrepreneurs Quotes. Financial literacy stemmed from my childhood, and followed me all the way into adulthood. Growing up, I observed how my father budgeted, and saved money for the rainy days. This helped me develop great spending and saving habits.

Dr. Rogers grew up with a bad idea and foundation of what love is. Her grandmother had a physically abusive husband, and so did her mom, so for her, this was some kind of generational curse.

And in doing so, inspire other people too. God's love for Dr. Rogers. It was when writing her book, that God revealed to her what her true purpose and vision in life is.

Blossoming in times of hardship and depression with Dr. Crystal Lewis Joining me on the show today is Dr. Crystal Lewis. Dr. Crystal is a mentor, author, motivational speaker, singer and change agent. She's also a minister in teen leadership programs and church events. She's passionate about helping people connect with God and pursue a purposeful life. Dr. Crystal uses Christianity as a tool to inspire and motivate all her readers and followers. Her book, The Diamond Transformation - How to Survive and Thrive in Tough Times is an inspiring biography of her life in school and how she persevered through dark times in her life. Dr. Crystal's Life Journey An introvert at heart, Dr. Crystal enjoys listening to women empowerment podcasts, karaoke singing, and journaling. All of which she finds therapeutic for herself when she's drained as a result of work. Life, however,hasn't always been easy for Dr. Crystal. About 9 years ago, she was accepted into Stony Brook University to pursue a PhD in Chemistry. Everything was going great, and life was a roller coaster ride for Dr. Crystal. All this took a sudden flip when a tornado hit the campus she was studying at forcing her to escape campus and seek refuge somewhere else. During the chaos, Crystal lost a lot of important personal files and documents. Her Naturalization certificate which proves her American citizenship was one of the documents she lost. In order to claim her fellowship and scholarship, Crystal needed her original Naturalization certificate. In the midst of trying to find a solution for her problem, Crystal found herself drowning in despair and hopelessness. Everyone she turned to for help turned her down. It was during this dark period of her life that Crystal had a conversation with God and wondered if He still had a purpose for her amidst all the darkness she was in. Thankfully for Crystal, He did. God wanted her to know that He had set a diamond in her which He was soon about to unleash. And this was the reason God was putting her through the pain and sadness she was going through at the time. The Diamond Process. At one point in our lives, we've all felt stifled and stuck in a hard situation. Stage 1: Positioning. In the first stage, diamond is actually graphite. Similar in life. We might feel like we're in a crisis and that God has completely forgotten us by placinging us and our family in an isolated position of failure. Stage 2: Processing. During processing, the graphite goes through intense heating and pressure.Just as in life, God through His tests, places us in intense and hostile environments to enable our growth. Stage 3: The plinian eruption stage. In this stage, the diamond travels through a Kimberlin pipe and beaks. You've probably heard of the saying ‘It's darkest before dawn'. Keep standing and praying. Quotes This is an opportunity to seek God's face and discover what He wants us to know during this season Your destiny is to fulfill God's purpose.

Joining us today is Marva Goss, a women sales coach who strategies in helping business owners in increasing their income and making an impact. Marva's Background Story An Air Force alumni, Marva deviated from the military as a way to be closer to her daughter. After getting married to a military man, Marva was blessed with a girl in 2014. Marva decided it was time for another switch. Life coaching was the new path she decided to take on. Whilst taking her course on becoming a life coach, Marva learnt so many business tips, strategies and ideas on how to start and grow her life coaching business. Working as a Sales Coach With so much information available online, it's very easy for you to get lost whilst trying to learn and implement the tips you get from the different blogs, courses and email subscriptions. As a sales coach, Marva helps her clients grow and establish their businesses by looking for areas of opportunity that provide a pathway for more clients. This can include strategies such as Social media marketing, email marketing, website content and handling discovery calls. Leveraging your Mindset as an asset in your business and life. A former client of Marva had a lot of self limiting beliefs and practices. Because of this, her business was very stagnant and her income stable at a small to average level. Why men are so successful as compared to women in careers and business ventures Marva argues that there's 2 very important factors that largely contribute to this; Emotional - Women take everything to heart. And although this isn't entirely a bad thing, it can serve to our disadvantage when negative emotions such as rejection and failure drive us into making bad business and career choices. Advocacy - Compared to women, men are always advocating for themselves. Be it a business idea or in the corporate world men believe and push for what they own with everything they have.

Reva Hart interviews Dr. Jene is a Leader's coach, speaker, entrepreneur, writer and minister. She believes that her life's purpose is to guide and transition leaders from one level of leadership to the next. Dr. Jene has found and established her life's calling and vision in empowering leaders in diverse sectors, ranging from business to education, church and even prison inmates. She's self-driven by the goal to achieve legendary leadership status through mentoring great leaders into existence. Ministering to prison inmates It was strange and difficult for Dr. Jene to unravel why God directed her into ministering and mentoring prison inmates, more so, male prison inmates. However, determined to fulfill God's will, Jene decided to answer the call and just like that, God strategically placed a church minister who at the time was the Chaplain at McCormick, South Carolina Correctional Institution. It was at Ware State Prison that Jene actualized - R.e.m.a.de - the new curriculum that God provided her with. Re-Made  being an acronym for; R - Renew the mind E - Evolve into greater M - Master your gifts A - Adapt without conforming D - Discover your identity E - Elevating your purpose Tracing the root of cultural sufferings in today's society. Unfortunately, only a few interests are represented and promoted in the curriculum that is taught in our schools. A lot of African-American History has either been omitted or completely left out in the information that is delivered in schools. This translates to a harsh and unjust system of education for a lot of male African-American students. And that is why poor grades, regular suspension and disinterest in education are a norm in the African-American community. Healing and learning from her experience Just like many women who have been victims of rejection, trauma and heartbreaks. Dr. Jene has also had her experience in the form of rejection from a former boyfriend she gave her all to. ‘I gave a boyfriend, husband privileges.' She recalls.

The leader in you never changes, it's at the core of who you are. Always be aware of how people perceive you. Just as everything has it's time, teaching and learning is seasonal.

Host, Reva Hart, interview with Tiffany Logan, a relationship coach who specializes in communication for binuclear families. In today's show, we'll be taking a more keen look at the communication aspect of Tiffany's job, and discuss how communication is a cornerstone in ensuring the success of any kind of relationship. Whether it be step families, blended families, binuclear families, or any other term that you wish to describe the modern and commonly rising social phenomena of co-parenting, there's no doubt that it's a universal issue affecting couples everywhere today. The best way to manage being in such a parenting situation is through communication. Clear and effective communication is the key to achieve understanding and express our needs and concerns. Conflicts are a part of life and will inevitably always arise within the family unit. But with well established communication channels between you and the rest of the family, then you can certainly solve and even avoid conflicts before they arise. And although we all have different issues going on in our lives that in one way or the other, involve our families. The one common underlying factor is our reaction and response towards such situations. How we choose to confront and address such situations is a determinant to what kind of relationship we'll be building with our family members. That is why building clear and effective communication bridges between ourselves, our partners, family members and everyone else is very important. It's the key towards healthy and progressive relationships. For example, ensuring that our children can openly and honestly communicate their thoughts and feelings leads to a happier and more trusting parent - child relationship with them. Quotes. We use communication to express our desires, wants and needs. And there's no other way for us to know how our families want and need if we aren't ready to communicate with them in a healthy way. If it's something that I am currently struggling with. Then I'm sure someone else somewhere has struggled with the same thing. Conflict is good. Conflict means that there's a problem. We just have to figure out the resolution for the problem, so we can avoid the conflict within the family. The Bible talks about believers and non-believers. And in a parenting situation, we must have faith that the believing parent can covert situations, because through God, we know that all things are possible.
