After experiencing a few personal and financial hardships, she was forced to make a decision that would adversely affect her family. As a single parent she faced seemingly insurmountable challenges. Lacking basic resources that were integral of a marginalized community, she stayed steadfast and focused on providing for her family. Adrienne has always been passionate about being a servant of the community and an advocate for the women and children of those underserved communities. With that fortitude and zeal, she decided to service the community by way of a small tax and consulting business. Since its inception, EZ Money Tax Solutions has serviced over 400 families of the greater Metropolitan Atlanta area. Adrienne has dedicated her life to providing educational spaces that support and elevate the fight for equality, inclusion, advancement and empowerment for all. Being able to provide a resource hub in the West End community, provides much needed intangible resources for the forward development of that community. Pathways of Wealth and Economic Resources Atlanta or P.O.W.E.R ATL fills this much needed void in relation to financial literacy. P.O.W.E.R ATL offers basic financial accountability classes, which helps to establish a baseline for individual financial success. Furthermore, Adrienne's organization is a liaison for career and individual sustainment. Adrienne is eager to share her passion and experiences. She is looking to leave an indelible mark by giving love, teaching, and inspiring current and future generations. Adrienne's selfless dedication to duty as a mother has been underscored by raising four beautiful children to be productive citizens in our society. Adrienne also parented her younger sister and brother when they needed a stable home environment as adolescent children. Adrienne's life work is to be a beacon of light to others. Touching every possible individual is of the utmost importance and allowing her testimony to be a testament that the American Dream is possible for us all.

Listening is an art that is extremely powerful! By listening to ourselves as well as others we can learn SO much! Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat is an Intuitive Optimum Health Consultant, Multi Time Best Selling Author, and Spiritual Healer who helps clients, doctors, and patients heal without the knife. Dr. Carolle started her career as an Obstetrics and Gynecology Surgeon, but soon realized that many health concerns hide a deeper issue. Once she decided to listen to herself and her patients she was able to cure ailments by getting to the root cause as opposed to only treating the symptoms. During this episode of WinHers United the podcast Dr. Carolle enlightens us on The Power of Listening. Have you made a habit of listening to yourself and others, or are you ignoring what is right in front of you? Episode Highlights (3:51) Dr. Carolle leads us down the story of her childhood growing up in Haiti, her family background, and how she determined she wanted to be a doctor at only nine years old (6:59) Dr. Carolle was exposed to childbearing at a young age due to her mother being a midwife, find out how she was able to witness childbirth at just eleven years old (8:13) Dr. Carolle talks about relocating to San Diego, then quitting surgery once she embraced her intuitive gifts (9:44) Dr. Carolle learned about the mind, body, soul connection and was able to help her patients discover the root cause to their ailments (12:27) Dr. Carolle discusses the issues negative energy causes in the body (17:19) Dr. Carolle believes that the harder things are the more prayer is necessary (20:27) Dr. Carolle tells us how our body listens to what we want, positive or negative (26:36) Dr. Carolle’s gifts were not always received well in the medical field, yet her work was highly respected (32:11) Dr. Carolle talks about the importance of listening at all levels, connecting with people, and treating each person as the unique human being they are (36:53) Dr. Carolle speaks on being in the moment and giving people your undivided attention (38:48) Dr. Carolle’s toughest struggle was being abused as a child, yet she chooses to look at life optimistically (41:49) Dr. Carolle’s ah-ha moment was moving past her hesitation to be on camera due to being self-conscious and realizing that true beauty shines from within (43:36) Dr. Carolle talks about pivoting from writing books to creating digital content (44:38) Dr. Carolle’s recommended resources are all about healing and living a better life (47:58) Dr. Carolle’s advice for an up and coming entrepreneur is be accept and embrace change (52:50) Dr. Carolle shares how she chose impact over income and is completely happy with her decision Dr. Carolle’s Bio Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat, MD, FACOG is a board-certified OB-GYN, and a primary care specialist. Born and raised in Haiti, she comes from a family of healers, shamans, herbalists, and midwives. She was educated in top universities in Haiti, Mexico, Jamaica, and the US, giving her a broad-spectrum approach to medicine and invaluable multicultural knowledge.  She had a successful private practice in San Diego, California from 1982 to 2005. She is a gifted medical intuitive, spiritual healer and a spontaneous medium who has helped thousands over the past four decades from all walks of life.  She has worked with under-privileged patients in dire conditions, even performing surgeries by flashlight in Haiti and delivering babies in farms in Mexico. She has also practiced medicine in highly acclaimed, technologically advanced hospitals in the U.S. She has helped thousands of men and women, including wounded warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and military sexual trauma (MST). In 2000 Dr. Carolle suffered severe burnout and had to reinvent herself. In 2005, she closed her private practice in San Diego because she could no longer fit into a prescription-writing, bottom-line-oriented medical system that did not allow time and resources for doctors to properly care for patients as whole human beings. She would not compromise. Her dream was to continue treating and healing patients, using her own ideals. She created the Dr. Carolle’s Healing Sanctuary of San Diego, where those who were ill or suffering could spend as much time as they needed with her. She developed the One-Week Intensive Three-Step Process; an intuitive, laser-focus transformational process that gives instant results within a week, mind, body and soul. Fluent in French, Haitian Creole, Spanish and English, Dr. Carolle combines her scientific knowledge with her extraordinary gift of intuition and clairvoyance to help those who are ready to heal. Her process helps to discover the root cause of patients’ symptoms and teaches them how to use this information to begin the healing process. With faith and caring she guides patients and shows them their strengths, teaches them how to let go, and simultaneously helps them overcome the obstacles that have prevented them from being their best self. She is an intuitive healing mentor for residents at the University Of California San Diego School Of Medicine, and she has extended her knowledge and intuitive healing abilities to physicians who are suffering from burnout in their field and find themselves unable to deliver the kind of compassionate effective services that they intended in the beginning of their medical journey. She has created an intensive three-step-process that investigates, identifies the root cause and transforms each health care specialist, giving them back the control and balance they need to operate on the highest level possible in their medical career. Before COVID, there was already a crisis looming; about two out of three physicians practicing medicine and three out of four medical students and residents in training were burnt out. Dr. Carolle has been educating, mentoring, and coaching physicians in many countries. Working with her using a three-step process she has perfected over the years, in a short amount of time they quickly regain their love of medicine and learn the tools to deliver compassionate, quality, personalized care under any circumstance while enjoying a well-balanced life, mind body and soul.  Dr. Carolle has always felt strongly about serving others, especially the poor and underprivileged. For more than three decades, she has provided free medical care to the people of Haiti and underserved clinics in San Diego through Catholic Charities, and as a volunteer in medical clinics in several countries. Her own non-profit charity, Health Through Communication Foundation, is focused on providing medical care, education, and other needed services to those in need. As an international motivational speaker, Dr. Carolle brings her message of self-empowerment and faith through her online courses, membership website, best-selling and award-winning books, private retreats, workshops, blogs, and podcasts.

I receive so many responses from customers sharing their experience and because they eat my treats they are going strong with lactation. It’s so amazing what a little extra support can do.” Milky Mama facilitates weekly Facebook chats and a lactation support group.
