If you were asked "What brings you joy?" would you know the answer? Although I host a podcast all about joy, if you were to ask me what would bring me joy in regards to flourishing in my life purpose, deep down inside, I know for certain that I would need to do some real soul searching before I could offer you a truly honest answer to this question. My guest today is Ann Eileen Thompson, a very successful & high-level business woman. Ann was the co-founder of "The Garage Group", an award-winning consulting firm out of Cincinnati, Ohio. She is also a wife, a mother, fellow podcaster and soon to be author. In today's episode, Ann shares her testimony of a recent soul-searching journey God has taken her on in order to move her away from her own sense of success and security, into a deeper place of fellowship and trusting Him to care for her as she learns to find real joy in a child-like manner once again.

"Live with Joy" was created to "inspire our listeners to find their life's passion, release their greatest potential, while living their lives with Joy." Reflecting back over the past two seasons, I am beginning to see my desire to dig even deeper within my heart and discuss things that have been hang-ups and barricades to my growth, inner healing and success, because I want my life to emulate the mission of this podcast. As I continue in my journey to discover just what "trauma" is, and to what level I have experienced it, I thought that it was best to start at the beginning, by returning to my own childhood experiences and learn if what I had been through could have been considered trauma. WOW...within the first few questions that Pamela asks using the ACES test, there was no doubt in my mind that I had experienced some major trauma in my childhood! The good news is that I am not overwhelmed by it, nor does it haunt me anymore! I believe that my desire to look into my life and do the deep work over the years has lessened the pain of my childhood, even though I had no clue it was classified as trauma. And the best news for me - and for you - is that God created our brains and bodies to heal from trauma, with a lot of help from the Holy Spirit and some very professionally trained counselors. Will you join me in my journey? About Pamela Harms: Pamela Harms is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kansas and Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. She holds a master's degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University, a bachelor's degree from Southwestern Assemblies of God University, and an Associate's Degree in Theology from Christ for the Nations Institute. Pamela is a certified synergetic play therapist, Gottman trained couples therapist, and also specializes in the treatment of trauma with EMDR therapy. Pamela is passionate about helping individuals overcome obstacles in their lives that they may experience the fullness of what God has for them. Pamela is a wife, mother of two girls, and musician. She is an avid reader and enjoys relaxing with a book and a cup of tea.

Today's episode is the beginning of a series that has become very important to me, because, at the age of 52, I cannot say that I know much about the clinical term "Trauma".  I want and need to change this, because, if I want to understand and improve my life, and, if I want to help my friends, family and those God brings into my life, I need to listen and learn so that I might understand. I began to ask questions of experts in the field of psychology regarding trauma, and it was important to me that I begin this series with a psychologist who knows me best - my friend, Dr. Cindy Byler, because I know her personal journey with traumatic events in her own life, which she will share a little about in this episode.  I feel "at home" with Cindy, and I believe that feeling safe is very important when you are sharing your inner struggles with someone. A little about Cindy...Dr. Cindy Byler is an accomplished professional with over 17 years of experience in serving the needs of people, psychologically and spiritually.  Gaining an early start in the medical profession, she developed a passion to help people as a counselor, and turned her interests to the field of Psychology.  Dr. Byler has successfully assisted individuals, couples and families through a variety of issues, including Crisis Intervention, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Bipolar Disorder and Marital and Family Relationship issues.  She has been instrumental in helping others focus on living skills, interpersonal relationships and behavioral control.  Additionally, she functions as part of the Lead Pastoral Team of Connection Church, serving as a teacher and a lecturer in addition to overseeing a lay counselor program.  Dr. Byler has a passion for mentoring emerging leaders, particularly in her related field.

Dr. Scott Arias is the owner and CEO of Ace Consulting Company, located in Nicholasville, KY.  He is a husband, father of four, a tenured professor, entrepreneur and life-long learner.  He and his wife, Marne, reside in Nicholasville, KY, and his four children are all integral team members within his company. Scott left his role of Director of Construction at Mason & Hanger, one of the oldest construction companies in the United States, to pursue his business.  In his first year of operation, he made $7,000.00.  As of today, his company sees revenue upwards of $15M, has three (3) office locations, with over 100 employees.  Additionally, the company is a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) with a commitment to "give back" by donating 10% of company profit to the Lexington Leadership Foundation, an organization that funds various 501c3 organizations in the local community. Scott got his start in construction in 1994 when he enlisted in the US Navy, joining the Construction Battalion, better known as the Seabees.  In 2002, he was promoted to Chief Petty Office after having served eight (8) years.  At that time, he was one of the youngest individuals in the Navy to earn this rank.  Just days after his promotion, he was involved in a severe motorcycle accident, costing him his left leg;  but that did not stop him from returning to full active duty.   Several years later, he suffered an injury while deployed overseas to the Middle East (Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom), forcing him into early retirement.  He retired as a Senior Chief Petty Officer after 12 years of service.  After retiring, Scott went on to oversee the construction of 12 US embassies overseas and ultimately settled in Nicholasville, KY to embark on the path leading to where he is today. In 2019, Scott wrote and published the book Pick Up Your Mat and Walk, that chronicles his own life experiences in overcoming adversity, devastation, self-destruction and finding hope, recovery and the path to success and happiness.  His faith and relationship with Jesus Christ are foundational to his finding these things and remain the guiding principles in both his personal and professional life.

Have you ever found yourself in a place in life where you needed a warrior to step in & cover you? I sure have! Jocky Denguessi showed up in my life back in 2018 at a moment when I really needed it, and in that moment, brought instant encouragement & spiritual help to me! I have not seen Jocky since that day, nor did I ever tell him just how much that moment helped me, but after recently seeing he, along with his wife Brystin and their friend Rasheed Flowers open their Bible study & prayer time up to the public on Facebook, I found myself longing to sit at the table with them! So, I invited them to be my guests on this podcast, and, as it turns out, although they had no clue as to what was in my heart, they invited me into their home! The very place where they sit around their dining room table & record their Facebook videos that I have come to love! In essence, I got my heart's desire today. I got to "sit at the table" with some AMAZING brothers & sister in Christ! And I now invite you to sit at the table with us! I encourage you to listen to the end.

In light of the recent murder of George Floyd, an African-American man, by a Minneapolis police officer, Americans are asking how we can end such police brutality, and, we are asking ourselves at the same time how we can bring about reconciliation between races and heal our land. As I was seeking ways that I can bring reconciliation, the first thing that came to mind was to begin reaching out to my black friends and to listen, learn and love. One of those friends is my guest today, and my prayer is that our honest conversation will help others open up with one another & talk about issues that may have previously been taboo between cultures. Afterall, opening our hearts & minds to listen & learn is part of truly knowing & loving one another. Lisa Bates-Corio has been a minister of the gospel for over 40 years, serving in women's prison ministry, assistance in pastoral ministry, a teacher of the Bible and intercessor, as well as a praise & worship minister. She is the mother of two wonderful sons, and a loving minister to people of all races and cultures.
