Today is part two of my interview with Kell Lester. In this episode, we dive into Kelly's return to faith after all she had suffered, and her views on abortion, and pro-life. Kelly attributes her recovery to her connection to faith and healing and saw just how beauty triumphs from the ashes. Through telling her story, Kelly is giving hope that you can come back from the ugly of life, and you can make it beautiful.  About our guest: Kelly's story is one that covers so many difficult and painful topics in our world today. Child molestation, raped as a teen, several abortions, drug dealing, eating disorders, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, and even working in the clinic where she had her first abortion. But beauty triumphs from the ashes, and Kelly is a testament to how God can clean all the dirty parts of a painful life story and make it brand new. Now a wife and mother of six children, Kelly loves to share her story to give hope to the most desperate situations proving that God can save anybody. She is currently a client advocate for LoveLine Ministries, Director of Outreach for And Then There Were None and Pro-Love Ministries, and a board member for Village Ansanm: Living Stones Ministries. https://www.facebook.com/kellylesterforlife (https://www.facebook.com/kellylesterforlife) https://www.ambassadorspeakers.com/speakers/unique/kelly-lester (https://www.ambassadorspeakers.com/speakers/unique/kelly-lester) https://www.instagram.com/mamakellylester/ (https://www.instagram.com/mamakellylester/)   Thanks for listening!

Today I am joined by Kelly Lester, and the conversation was so in-depth, that we had to split it into two parts. In this episode, Kelly shares her story of sexual abuse, abortions, and how to be a safe place for your children to open up about their lives. Kelly believes in creating a place in your home for your children to feel safe to fail so that when the big challenges of life come up, they can trust you will be there to support them. After a rape and later abortion when she was 15, Kelly had drastic changes in her life. She was forced to grow up fast and deviate from the life she was building for herself. Kelly bravely shares her story and advocates for safe places for young women to share their own stories. Listen in to this tough and important conversation. About our guest: Kelly's story is one that covers so many difficult and painful topics in our world today. Child molestation, raped as a teen, several abortions, drug dealing, eating disorders, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, and even working in the clinic where she had her first abortion. But beauty triumphs from the ashes, and Kelly is a testament to how God can clean all the dirty parts of a painful life story and make it brand new.

In this episode, I am joined by Patrick Carroll and he walks us through the possibilities of energetically removing traumatic experiences through shamanic practices. When Patrick began his shamanic training, he was faced with a repeating question, “Why, years later, has the traumatic effect not faded?”. What he found was a term called entanglement. Entanglement comes after a very intense emotional event or trauma that connects a victim to the perpetrator. Patrick is considered a trauma surgeon, as he connects to the threads that are still tying a victim to their perpetrator and goes in to remove them for deeper healing. Listen in to this riveting conversation and Patrick's message of hope for healing.    About our guest: Blessed with an unusual gift from birth to see the energy and sense strong emotion in others, Patrick's mission in life and sole purpose is to take on the worst cases of trauma, and sexual and emotional abuse from around the world.   Credited with preventing the suicide of many people, Patrick's work has helped lifelong sufferers of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse to finally be set free.   Along the way, he developed his own clinical procedures based on a mash-up of Quantum Physics, Jung's concept of the multi-dimensional psyche, and various shamanic technics for tracking and dissolving trauma.   If you are directly affected or know someone who is, this could be the last piece of the puzzle. Patrick Carroll is only contactable via JohnPatrick@ShamanicRecovery.com.   Thanks for listening! It means so much to us!

Today I am joined by the wonderful Susan Birch. She shares with us the difficult trauma she suffered and some of the tools she used to help herself begin healing. Susan stresses the important role that nutrition and self-care play in your healing journey. Making you and your health a priority helps you deal with traumas and the other stressors of life.

In this episode, I am joined by Kevin Tuttle, and we have a beautifully vulnerable and honest conversation about the impact of unresolved trauma. Kevin shares his story of childhood trauma and finally faces the biggest challenge of addressing himself to begin his healing. Unresolved trauma can have massive effects on all aspects of your life. We develop unhelpful patterns of coping that are actually leading to our own self-destruction. Listen in, as Kevin shares with us, in deep honesty, how he stopped keeping secrets, told his story, and began to see healing on the other side. There is healing for you and you are not in this alone!   About our guest: Kevin is a husband to an amazing wife and father of two incredible children. He's the public relations director for Our Amazing Grace's Light Shines On, Inc., as well as associate producer for The Robert Scott Bell Show. Kevin believes in freedom and in YHWH, the Creator of everything. To hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant," when he's face-to-face with God is what drives him to be a better person each day. Kevin is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and enjoys road biking, making people laugh, and spending time with his family. Facing his trauma has released him of the bondage that tore at his life and his soul, and encourages everyone to do the same.     Resources: "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay C.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr.Robb Kelly. He shares with us his challenging journey with addiction and how he came out the other side. Dr.Robb believes anyone can change their circumstance and that you can have the amazing life you dream of. Shifting your mindset to believing you can do it and that anything is possible is the first step. Taking one day at a time, change can be possible. Listen in to Dr. Robbs's words of wisdom and the knowledge that you are worth it and can get out of the hole you're in.   About our guest: Robb has overcome homelessness, alcohol dependency, trauma, PTSD, MDD, and a whirlwind of events to be the "Gordon Ramsay" of the addiction treatment world. Before Robb succumbed to addiction and mental health issues, he played bass guitar at Abbey Studio with Queen, David Bowie, and Elton John. He is an accomplished musician, and the money he made helped him attend Oxford University to pursue a Ph.D. in Psychology. Robb experienced a spiritual awakening on the cold streets of Manchester while homeless and in dire straights. Robb's work ethic is defined by helping the addict step out of their disease and into a solution. He works with everyday people, professionals, and celebrities who want to reach sobriety and live in sustained recovery through evidence-based modalities and a genuine therapeutic alliance. Robb believes in helping marginalized communities because he understands that everyone has different worldviews when addiction is rearing its ugly head.

Have you ever struggled with periods of low self-esteem? Have you ever been destroyed, heartbroken, and betrayed by someone you really loved? Did you grow up with alcoholic parents?   When I met Vanessa Broers in 2021, I was immediately captivated by her energy, her spirit, and her visionary work. The way she supported business leaders to embrace more humanity and empathy and then translate it into their own personal power, better performance, and more joy.   Over the last few months, I've come to learn so much more about Vanessa's personal story growing up with an alcoholic mother, being sexually assaulted, manipulated, and taken advantage of by a former boyfriend, and then being dramatically challenged by accidental motherhood. It had a profoundly positive effect on me and my healing journey, and I know you will benefit from it too.   There is so much to uncover in one episode, so we have broken it into two parts.   About our guest Vanessa is an author and Leadership and performance coach set on innovating leadership.

Are you considering telling your partner, family, or friends about what happened to you in the past?  In this episode, the World's Best Courage Coach, Laban Ditchburn, and who is also my darling fiance, talks about why it's so important to share about your trauma, what was his experience after I opened up about my sexual abuse, and how it has changed our relationship. This episode will also help you to prepare for the conversation and provide you with helpful tips, and ways to cope with negative reactions if they occur.  A child badly affected by divorce and dysfunction, Laban sought validation and escapism in all the wrong places. But through self-discovery, not being afraid to ask for help and a ton of hard work, he conquered the full gamut of addictions—alcohol, sex, gambling, drugs, and negative self-talk.  By understanding and then reverse-engineering the root cause of why he needed to escape, giving up his addictions was almost effortless. These days he gets his high from ultra-marathon running and searching the planet for the world's best steak! Today, he defines the word transformation. Reshaping his body by swapping sixty pounds of body fat with thirty pounds of muscle and bone, he discovered a simple cure for his “incurable” auto-immune disease in the process. Now physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally in charge of his own destiny, Laban's journey continues to inspire those ready to change their lives. An exemplar and a revolutionary, he revels in unabashedly sharing what he's learned: how to conquer the demons you don't know you have, and how to be unstoppable in getting to where you want to be. Laban's debut and internationally acclaimed book “Bet on You” is a “can't put down” must-read with its raw, real, hilarious, and inspiring message of hope.   You can find more information about Elizabeth Martin-Chan here: Website: https://labanditchburn.com/ (https://labanditchburn.com/) Business FB page: https://www.facebook.com/LabanDitchburn.Inc (https://www.facebook.com/LabanDitchburn.Inc) Business LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/labanditchburninc (https://www.linkedin.com/company/labanditchburninc) Personal LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/labanditchburn/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/labanditchburn/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/labanditchburn.inc/ (https://www.instagram.com/labanditchburn.inc/) Additional link: https://www.youtube.com/c/BecomeyourownSuperheroPodcast (https://www.youtube.com/c/BecomeyourownSuperheroPodcast) Thanks for listening!

Today, I feel so deeply blessed and grateful to have Dr. Bridget Cooper with us. I was powerfully moved and inspired by her TEDx talk to start my own healing journey before I even met her, and as you will hear, I have been even more powerfully moved by her work in this episode! And I know you will find it beneficial too! In this episode, Dr. B shares her secret on how to overcome shame and fear of judgment when you open up to the world. We also talk about infertility issues after sexual abuse, what are some of the benefits of trauma, and why it's so important to heal.  Dr. Bridget Cooper is a cage rattler. Change strategist. Thought shifter. Best-selling author of six books on communication, conflict, change, and empowerment. Her latest, “Pain Rebel” offers us a roadmap out of pain with no purpose and into empowerment and abundance. Dr. B is a lover of higher consciousness and even higher heels! Her ambitious mission is to change the world, one hopeful life at a time. Born onto the welfare system and raised by wolves, she's made her own success, one broken fingernail at a time. She knows heartache and hopelessness and she also knows the power of the mind and spirit to carry you upward. “Dr. B” sculpts the leader in all of us by making us better people first.    You can find more information about Dr. B here: Instagram: @drbridgetcooper LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbridgetcooper/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbridgetcooper/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrBridgetCooper/ (https://www.facebook.com/DrBridgetCooper/) and https://www.facebook.com/bridget.cannoncooper (https://www.facebook.com/bridget.cannoncooper) Website - http://www.drbridgetcooper.com (www.drbridgetcooper.com) (bridget@drbridgetcooper.com) http://www.amazon.com/author/drbridgetcooper (www.amazon.com/author/drbridgetcooper) YouTube: Dr. Bridget Cooper (TEDx talk: https://youtu.be/XtsAuqu-TxI (https://youtu.be/XtsAuqu-TxI))    Thanks for listening!
