Olawunmi Brigue is a Transformational Coach, Writer and Speaker dedicated to helping Christians overcome stagnation, problematic life areas and limiting behavioural patterns that have persisted despite their best efforts.  In the not too distant past, she herself was trapped in a cycle of failure and helplessness, pregnant out of wedlock and rejected, jobless, penniless and bitter, full of guilt and shame, confused and depressed. By using the same inside-out transformational principles she now teaches, her life was transformed from broke and broken to healed, restored and a super-abundant success. Through multiple platforms, Olawunmi is empowering Christians to overcome internal and external barriers so that they can consistently produce results in life that can only be described as Supernatural.   To book time with Ola visit www.OlawunmiBrigue.com   Luv you all,  Candi

Purchase Carpice's new book Prayers Up, Weight Down! at https://www.amazon.com/Prayers-Weight-Caprice-OBryant-Gutierrez/dp/0692137254   About Caprice - A MUST READ! In 2007, Caprice survived a serious car accident, which left her with a traumatic brain injury. She was unable to walk and had impaired cognitive abilities—to the point where she had difficulty following simple instructions. Thanks to the help of an extensive 5-month regimen of physical, speech and occupational therapy, Caprice was able to miraculously recover and attend high school. Not only did she reunite with her classmates, but Caprice joined her high school track team and quickly rose to stardom. She won every race and was named conference champion at each event. Sure, she had to wear a knee brace, but that didn’t stop her from doing what she loved!   After getting back on her feet and returning to a ‘normal’ life, Caprice was unfortunately in another car accident, just three years later. This time, she was left with devastating injuries which would affect her for the rest of her life—grand mal seizures. In fact, in 2012 she suffered a seizure so severe that she was left with retrograde amnesia, leaving her with no memory of the first nineteen years of her life. Caprice woke up in a hospital, not knowing her name or the family that surrounded her. She was admitted into every major research and top-notch hospital in the country (Mayo Clinic, Christ, Loyola, Northwestern, UIC, etc.) and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy.   While all of this could have brought anyone down, without the drive to move forward, Caprice was instead fueled by her battle and decided to live by the mantra ‘stomp out every excuse’. In her eyes, there was no excuse to not stay healthy and fit, which always made her feel better, empowering her to focus her energy on what she could do, instead of being tied down by her circumstances. It made her feel unbreakable. Caprice became certified and opened the popular Excuse Free Fitness! With her gym, Caprice strives to provide her clients with a sense of hope and inspiration to never give up, no matter life’s circumstances.

We are so grateful to Vanessa Echols for joining us today as we kick off October Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Our series this month will feature stories of survivors and supporters. Please tell everyone you know who has been impacted by Cancer to tune in! There is a message of hope in each testimony.   From www.compassionatehandsandhearts.org Vanessa is a Breast cancer survivor and founder of Compassionate Hands and Hearts Breast Cancer Outreach.  When Vanessa was diagnosed with Stage Two breast cancer in 2004, it was in that moment that she knew God had a purpose in allowing cancer to be a part of her life’s journey. She soon realized the importance of awareness and education, and shared her story with WFTV Channel 9 viewers throughout Central Florida who’d been watching her anchor the news over the years.    With countless doctors visits, medical tests, chemotherapy, radiation and surgeries, the long journey was both emotionally and physically draining for Vanessa, her family and friends. It was her faith and support from her loved ones that brought her through the fight. And it was conquering that fight that inspired her to help others walking the same path.    Vanessa’s story of bravery, strength and passion opened doors to spread the message at community events and created opportunities to get involved with local efforts to fight cancer, inspiring people across Central Florida. However, Vanessa felt her calling was for something much greater… and that was Compassionate Hands and Hearts.    Together with inspiring cancer survivors, compassionate supporters and giving individuals, Vanessa fights everyday to have a positive impact in the lives of breast cancer patients and their families.

Book available at amazon.com Also visit RealizingDestiny.com My name is Destiny Thomas. I’m an Author, Motivational Speaker and Prayer and Discernment Coach. I use my influence as a brand ambassador to foster better health and wellness in every aspect of life. When desperation consumes a person, they can begin to question their faith. They can lose sight of long term goals like attaining an education or acquiring financial security. The day I was advised that I had conditions known as Endometriosis and P.C.O.S. and would never experience the gift of birthing a child I experienced all of those things. I neglected finishing my education, resented aspects of my faith, and lost all concentration for maintaining financial independence. For years, I filled the void of being a mother with uncontrolled credit card spending, fatty foods, and senseless vacations. God turned everything around for me on February 8, 2015 with the birth of my son. It was then, that I realized I could never cope with exposing my child to financial tragedies. I knew that if I ever wanted to be debt free or travel the world like I dreamed, I would have to actively seek change. I began the journey of "REALIZING DESTINY" On March 2016, when I discovered It Works, an all-natural health and wellness company. After enrolling I lost over 20 pounds, learned the importance of financial freedom, got closer to God and found my purpose. So on October 21, 2017, when God instructed me to leave my corporate job after 10 years of employment without a plan A or B I did it. I am truly grateful for this journey of coming to the Realization of who I am not only as a wife, mother, entrepreneur, and author but also as A Child of God living on Purpose.

From Ruby's Website  http://www.rubycarterpikes.com/fitness-philosophy/ Check out Miss Ruby's page for more info and services.   Ruby Carter-Pikes; a 70 year old grandmother is also a fitness model. But it’s not even about the way she looks, it’s about the respect that she has for her body and the healthy attitude that she has developed over the course of her life. Pikes wasn’t raised or trained by her parents into living a healthy lifestyle. Being born in Mississippi, the Deep South, she faced the same disadvantages of nutritional information that many of us face. “My family grew everything, we had livestock and fruits and vegetables but the problem was that they didn’t know how to prepare the foods. Salt, sugar and flour were the pillars to our diet.” Because of their eating habits, and being uneducated on the correct way to prepare foods, chronic disease ran rampant in her family. Pikes’ mother struggled with diabetes, her grandmother died at the age of 57 after being diagnosed with heart problems and her sister’s leg was amputated as a result diabetes; in 2012 her sister died from diabetes. Pikes herself was diagnosed with a heart condition but instead of accepting defeat, she decided to make changes to her lifestyle habits through nutrition and exercise. At the age of 51 Pikes, a personal trainer, began participating in body building competitions. “I was talked into doing it and ended up coming in second place.” Later she began fitness modeling. Instead of having a specific workout routine, Pikes keeps it fresh by working out with her clients and taking kick boxing classes. “I get up in the morning and either go for a five to seven mile run or I train with my clients.” Ruby has made it her life goal to inspire others to live healthy, in fact that’s exactly what keeps her going. “I plan to keep competing until I can’t anymore. It’s not about winning or being seen, it’s about inspiring others to live better.” When she heard that Enliven was part of a faith based magazine Pikes offered this advice, “The Bible says, “thou shall not kill.” If you are eating the stuff you know you aren’t supposed to be eating and not being active, ultimately you are killing yourself. If you want to live get your butt up and start moving!”

Shelly Dahm-Mattes  "When you are diagnosed with cancer, your entire life changes. That's what happened to me fifteen years ago. It's not something you can ever prepare for, but it's something that I knew could be beaten if I had the will to fight. My doctor told me that beyond surgery and treatment, a positive attitude was crucial to my recovery. One thing that I noticed immediately was that I couldn't force myself to have a good attitude. I had many rough moments during this period of my life. Whenever I worked out, however, my outlook would noticebly improve. I always knew exercise and fitness were keys to a healthy lifestyle, but I didn't fully realize to what degree. If you research common conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc., the number one recommendation for improving your health is to exercise. Fitness is no longer something I try to make time for, it's a priority. My goal is to live long, healthy life and to set a positive example for my two daughetrs" Shelly is part owner of Medical Investment Group, a wife, mother and amazing woman of God!

Abigail Johnston is a true survivor. She is a wife and mother of 2 precious boys. Abigail spent over fifteen years participating in various capacities within the foster care and Dependency System along with more than ten years of law practice focused within the Domestic Relations area.  Abigail closed her law firm after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer but she continues to be an advocate of those in need. Abigail's passion is her family, her faith, and spreading the word about Metastatic Breast Cancer. She encourages everyone to support organizations like www.metavivor.org who give 100% of funds to research for stage 4 metastaic breast cancer. "Metastatic breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other organs in the body (most often the bones, lungs, liver or brain). ... More commonly, metastatic breast cancer arises months or years after a person has completed treatment for early or locally advanced (stage I, II or III) breast cancer. As hard as it may be to hear, metastatic breast cancer cannot be cured. Unlike breast cancer that remains in the breast or nearby lymph nodes, you cannot get rid of all the cancer that has spread to other organs. However, this doesn’t mean metastatic breast cancer can’t be treated." from Nationalbreastcancer.org

OMGoodness!!!  Ladies are you ready for this powerful interview? Buckle up... My favorite quote from this segment:  overwhelmed = paralyzed   overtake = empowered   Visit www.CourtneyDawnShaw.com (taken from site) "Courtney Dawn Shaw is an author, speaker, minister, certified personal trainer TV Host, and the reigning Mrs. Florida America. From a very early age she was a competitive dancer, soccer player, and ran in the Junior Olympics with a winning cross-country team.  She has worked with clients and churches over the last 10+years, encouraging and inspiring them to live free and healthy lives from the inside out. Her life experience of overcoming body image issues, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, and a near death experience brought her to a place of brokenness and surrender to God. Since her junior year in high school, she has pursued the fulfillment of God’s purpose and plan for her life. With years of experience in the fitness industry, she has been given a clear revelation and message on where true value, beauty, and health come from.  Her platform as Mrs. Florida America and beyond is to work with individuals and teams of people who can develop and implement solutions which will bring an end to the growing epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and any related diseases. Approximately 90 million Americans are considered obese, and doctors agree that children being born today may be the first generation to not outlive their parents due to Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, today it is all too common for most everyone in America to have someone in their family being affected.  As a wife, mother of 2 young children, and a certified personal trainer, she have a passion to ensure that her family is leading a healthy and fit lifestyle. It is her purpose to help educate, equip, and empower families to do the same."

Today author, mentor, leader and Marketing Maven Bobbi Govanus joins us to talk about overcoming fear of starting over! Please share this encouraging word with anyone who has experienced fear of failure. Check out the links below to Bobbi's book & the Womens Executive Council site. THANK YOU Bobbi for all you do for women and the community! ABOUT BOBBI GOVANUS After a thirty year career in retail selling everything from socks to stocks, with only a computer and a plan, Bobbi Govanus launched her own small business and soon realized that she had discovered a true niche within the computer training industry. Bobbi quickly grew that business from the basement of her Minnesota home by listening closely to her customers and providing customized computer training and solutions. The company eventually brokered over 1000 high-caliber computer trainers across the United States and Canada and even served clients as far away as England, Japan, Germany and India. She grew the company to sales of over 20 million. In celebration of these and other accomplishments, Entrepreneur Magazine recognized Bobbi Govanus as their "Home-based" Business Owner of the year and Minnesota honored her as their Women in Business Advocate. Bobbi learned through her years in business that the most important aspect of owning a business is making sales, the second is getting paid. She currently helps businesses accomplish the second by serving as the VP of Marketing for Retriever Payment Systems providing solutions for businesses to take credit cards safely and grow their client base using Reward and Gift Card Programs. In 2015 Bobbi created the Reinvention Retreat at Sea and annually brings facilitators together to coach and assist attendees who want to make the rest of their life, the best of their life. She is a master event planner and coordinates all the details for everything from Galas to Golf Tournaments! Her passion for Non- Profits is felt throughout Central Florida. Bobbi currently lives in Haines City, FL with her husband Gary.

Let's take these key versus from today's podcast and allow the Word of God to transform our hearts and minds!   Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. For by it the people of old received God’s commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible." Romans 10:17 "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."   An excerpt from https://www.gotquestions.org/faith-vs-fear.html   A growing faith is what we desire to have and what God desires to produce in us. But how, in day-to-day life, can we develop a faith that conquers our fears? The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Romans 10:17). The careful study of God's Word is of primary importance in developing a strong faith. God wants us to know Him and completely rely on His direction in our lives. It's through the hearing, reading and meditation in the Scriptures that we begin to experience a strong, confident faith that excludes worry and fear. Spending time in prayer and quiet worship develops a relationship with our heavenly Father that sees us through even the darkest of nights.

Here is the key verse we're declaring on this journey. 2 Timothy 1:7 "for God has not given us a spirit of fear or timidity but of power, and of love, and a sound mind (self-discipline)." Let's focus on what the word of God says about us today. You have the antidote to fear and anxiety, like I guess Dr. Samantha shared with us. The antidote is that God has given you power, love which conquers all, and a sound mind.

Get ready for one of the most power packed 10 minutes of your life! Loreen shared from the key verse 2nd Corinthians 10:4-5 "Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ" and Philippians 4:7 "the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]."
