With the recent "me too" movement, it is apparent that so many women have been victimized, violated, and hurt in their lifetime.

This episode is pretty personal to me. In my book and on stages I tell a short version of my daughter getting pregnant at 17 with a special needs baby. I also share that she eventually placed that precious bundle for adoption and that this event has created some of the greatest blessings in our family's life.  So many of you asked to hear the "whole story". We listened and Kelsey was gracious enough to share the journey from hearing the news that she was expecting a baby that wasn't expected to survive- wasn't expected to be normal- wasn't expected to thrive. She'll share the highs and lows of this journey to what ultimately became, "the greatest gift in the darkest hour."

So I am not going to sugar coat it- I had a toxic relationship with money for over three decades of my life. Every time I even thought about money- it would bring extreme anxiety in my life. Money (in my mind) brought hardship into my life, and I believed if I had more than everything would be okay.  However- what does something do when you "hate it"? You, of course, repel it. It doesn't flow to you and your subconscious works against you because you have told it that you don't want it in your life!  Even as I started my entrepreneurial journey- I kept plateauing in my business. But then..... Leslie Householder came into my life.  Through her books, online program, and 3 day in person program- I reshaped my mindset around money and learned the Laws of Prosperity. And you know what? I have doubled my income every year since.  Money is a blessing now- it is a form of energy that can do much good in this world. Money flows to me and for me.  Want to know how to do this in your own life? Don't miss this episode!!

This show is the real deal. I honestly almost edited the first five minutes because the "flow" was not happening yet. However, my beautiful guest Ashley McEvoy reminded me of being genuine, about being authentic. You might see me stumbling over words, repeating a few things- but that is life right? So I kept it.  It is definitely in line with Ashley's journey. She stumbled a bit at the beginning of life- made some challenging choices and felt innately flawed for so many years of her life. During one of her darkest periods in life- she discovered the answer to her healing and the things that catapulted her to her great success in life.

She is one of those women that seems to have it all- physical beauty, a thriving career, a well-balanced home life with five kids and a great husband that supports and cheers her on.    However Tauni describes herself  as a shy and awkward young girl who had little self-confidence and felt simply "quirky".  So how does that one insecure little girl go on to be a massive influencer in this world?  Tauni will take you on her journey through challenges, pain, and ultimately the shift that would change her life, mindset, and view of life.  Find out how she shifts herself into a place of joy every single day and into a place of true success.

I believe that this episode will impact so many listeners. My friend Sabrina was a survivor of sexual abuse and victimization from an early age. The reality is that 1 in every 3 females has been through this horrific experience.  As she started to heal- she was impacted by another traumatic event that caused her to question her actual existence.  Sabrina takes us on her journey on all of her cycles through hurt, anger, retaliation and finally to a place of forgiveness and true healing.  She now teaches others how to come to a place of seeing other through what she calls, "compassionate eyes". This new lens has literally shifted her life out of a dark and seemingly endless dark place, to one of light and true joy.  Please share this encouragement with any woman or man that you know that has been victimized so that they can hear these words of healing.   

This podcast is a bit different as I interview an incredible woman who isn't currently featured in my book.  I did so because her story is so incredibly powerful, uplifting, and I knew it would change the hearts of thousands.  Seven years ago the unthinkable happened to Amanda's family- her two-year-old boy never woke up from his sleep.

I am going to confess something.....I have NEVER before cried before on an episode until.....now. During one segment of my interview with the beautiful Alycia Huston, I literally got goosebumps, had tears streaming down my face, and was inspired to really find my strength and leadership from within.  Alycia relays how she built a mega-successful brick and mortar company from the ground up, and then how she later started her personal development and leadership programs that are selling out. You can feel the confidence and the natural born leader that Alycia is. However....I asked her how someone that doesn't feel confident and doesn't feel successful can get where she is at now. This is where it gets unbelievable. You HAVE to listen to this episode. It will completely fill your cup and leave you knowing exactly where to go from here on your own journey to success. 

Julie May....one of my favorite people. She was another one of the authors in the book "Success through Failing", and has had a true blue rags to riches, riches to rags and back again story that we all love and admire. The one thing that I truly appreciate about her story is how she learned how to find joy in her darkest moments and that pivotal point led her to do the work she does at this point in her life.  If you are feeling down and out in your life (even if it is at times)- you will NOT want to miss this episode on learning to have joy amidst chaos. Self-Help, Success, Self-Improvement, Depression, Motherhood, Business.
