Triumph After Trauma

With a heart to serve, Melissa desires to give back. As an attorney working in the criminal justice system representing children in the foster care system, her desire to change the world continues. Now she has begun an officer-wellness company called The Blue Octave. This is just the beginning to make an impact on the brave men and women in blue. What they endure, sometimes on a daily basis, is unfathomable. It is time to give back to the men and women who give their lives everyday with little respect and admiration. We owe a lot to them for their bravery and sacrifices. Thank you, Melissa, for accepting the call!Connect with Melissa Zelniker-Presser:Email: theblueoctave@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/theblueoctave/https://www.instagram.com/theblueoctave/Connect with Lynanne:WebsiteFacebook group Coach Talk Café

The title of Mary De Caires' website is fitting: "breast cancer now what" For many, a diagnosis of cancer may seem like a life sentence. Not for Mary.

Since these very difficult times might have caused others to crumble, she stayed positive and maintained a healthy view of life. In the interview, you will hear about her most trying moment in her life--it wasn't going through breast cancer. And, when the scary breast cancer diagnosis was announced, Mary reverted back to the way she knew how to handle a difficult challenge: to hit it head-on with all of the positivity and gratitude she could muster. Listeners will be inspired by her attitude of life and how her cheery manner can only make you want to face your own problems head-on---with a smile. There is no such thing as a 'life sentence' in Mary De Caires' opinion. You will enjoy this delightful woman's take on life and what she does to stay happy and positive even in the bleakest of moments.  Connect with Mary:Access her free book on her website. Connect with Lynanne:Lynanne's websiteTriumph After Trauma fb groupBuy the book with 25 Tools for Happiness on Amazon

Julie refused to believe the lie that she wasn't worth being around any longer for her children or her husband.  The lie wasn't strong enough. She knew the truth that she was their world and it forced her to be vulnerable. Even when she was in her darkest space: no shower for days, messy home, wearing the same clothes for days on end, Julie called for help. And, help came.  Seeing her own father battle severe depression throughout her childhood, she knew that her life could end abruptly if she kept her illness a secret.  The journey of self-acceptance and self-love has been a lengthy challenge, however, the rewards are immense. Her beautiful, touching book describes her journey of vulnerability becoming the answer to surviving.  Julie loves herself and owes it to the angels who came to her rescue at her most desperate moments.Listen for her advice to those who are struggling today with mental illness.

Alma is a delightful woman living in a nice suburb of Chicago. Her life wasn't always like that. It took a lot of hard work to put aside old patterns and beliefs that she had to be tough, rough, and abrasive. It was evident in her language, mannerisms, and beliefs that she was not worth more than where she came from. She made the decision to improve, taking her health seriously, and, then her mind. That is all that it took for Alma to begin her journey of rediscovery and rebirth. Reading, studying, and applying herself to make life the best it could be allowed her to excel at work. Leadership roles were soon given to her and she applied her work ethics and grit to become a trusted leader with a team responsible for thousands of customers. Her team has outstanding respect for her and she continues to push and serve all who come in contact with her. Since Alma has personally transformed so much, she desires to empower young women who need the knowledge and empowerment tools to become more than the circumstances they've been given. Connect with Alma:FacebookConnect with Lynanne:Website: thesexymama.comFb group: Triumph After TraumaBuy "The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self Care: 25 Tools for Happiness" on Amazon beginning 2/11/2021 

Stormy Rose was not always her name. Even though she was born with this name, 'the system' told her she couldn't have that name and that she must change it. The stability in her life was nonexistent, so how could changing the only thing that was constant in your life be so devastating to an 11 year old?  That's just it. Her name was the only stable thing in her life.The journey of being in the Foster Care System was tough and difficult. Moving around from home to home, being taken advantage of, being taken for granted, missing out on being adopted through 3 failed adoption attempts would make someone want to give up. Stormy had different plans. She was going to show everyone that she could excel and outshine anyone else. And, she did. However, it came with a price.One particular circumstance forced Stormy to realize that her identity and her name meant more to her than top executive status, the big house, or the luxury cars, she finally became free and came to terms with what happiness really is. 

What you think you “need” you may never get. Being acknowledged and validated for all the wrong that they did to you is something you certainly deserve. However, what if that never happens?!!Reliving the story in such a way that you don’t have the pain associated with the “story” any longer is evident when removing that painful layer we hold onto. Marisa's wisdom, from her own personal experience, reminds us to remove the 'woundedness' and pain as you are working on your boundaries. Find the centered place and create healthy and genuine boundaries---not from an angry place. Be prepared for what you are willing to sacrifice like walking away from a family holiday dinner if necessary.Sometimes it is necessary to take a break. SEE PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE.  See past what .  Lovely belief and way to live with difficult people and hardships from the past.Understanding the wounded self — ours and others' wounds -- is liberating.

Believe in yourself! Listen to your intuition to live your purpose. It is easy to ignore God's help when you have been victimized. Naturally, a child will believe that no one will help, that they are lonely, and not worth enjoying a happy life. Jennifer's eyes were opened when she continued to be in bad relationship after bad relationship. For some, they might think that that is the life that they were destined to have.Jennifer is the first to tell you that it is not true!! No way! And, that is exactly what turned her doubts to belief and caring more about her future and the options that were in front of her than staying stuck in that ugly, stagnant life. She became aware of her self-worth and decided to make a change. It was hard. And, she did what needed to be done.

Very few children are provided the opportunity for an enriching childhood which results in healthy nervous system regulation --and they don’t know until much later what 'healthy' means. Blaming external things became 'normal' until Karen realized that her life evolved the way that it did because of her childhood life-experiences. Those experiences are what shaped her into becoming fully healed and aware of how to help countless others. Karen fully accepts the roles of her family members and all of her difficult circumstances. Because of this recognition and taking ownership, she has truly been able to release the past traumas and fully live in the present.

She is free from labels and stigmas attached to child abuse heroes.Through her dedicated journey of self-validation to self-love, Marisa now uses her knowledge and expertise to help others heal relationships, creating boundaries while understanding one's own needs in life to achieve their own self-validation and self-love.  We do not need validation from others when we truly understand ourselves and our own self worth. Connect with Marisa:Website: MagnifyYourMagnificence.comFacebook GroupConnect with Lynanne:Website: TheSexyMama.comFacebook Group

When we do not address our trauma, but instead let it fester and negatively impact our life, for many trauma heroes, one alternative to find relief is to end it all.  Guilt and shame prevail and we may want to 'call it quits'. Melissa's relationship with God and Jesus Christ (as a Jewish convert) literally saved her life! Her shift did not come from therapy or holistic healing practices, but through a clear understanding of her self-worth and a life saving, unique ministry. Love became the answer.
