Living Vicariously Through Yourself: How to Tune Out External and Internal Voices and Embrace Your Authentic Self with Angela Marshall

We learn more in this episode about living vicariously through yourself. My guest, Angela Marshall, and I discuss not listening to external voices, ignoring those negative internal voices, and being who you are. We discuss what we have learned from our personal experiences. Being who you are, rather than who others want you to be, is an essential aspect of living a fulfilling life. It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to please others and meet their expectations. However, in doing so, we can lose sight of our own desires and passions. When you prioritize your authentic self, you'll attract people who appreciate and accept you for who you are, rather than for what you can do for them. It takes courage to be yourself and live authentically, but the rewards are worth it - you'll experience greater joy, meaning, and fulfillment in your life. The goal is to inspire and motivate you to believe in your abilities and not let external negativity hold you back. Angela Marshall is a motivational speaker, best-selling author, creative consultant, ex-NFL wife, and owner of the business "In Other Words, By Stone". She uses her life experiences to inspire and motivate others while advocating for her community and supporting youth mentorship. Angela resigned from her corporate job to focus on her passion for helping others and has been featured in multiple platforms, including "Women Who Lead" anthology. Her auto-biography "Reality to Rags to Riches; The Story and Life of an Ex-NFL Wife" chronicles her journey from a lavish but unfulfilling lifestyle to finding her purpose. Angela is also a member of various organizations, including the Professional Women's Networking Association and the African American Authors for Literacy Campaign.

Laura has been quite content as the head seamstress at Salis House Plantation. But when it is decided that two of her brothers are to be sold, she is forced to make a decision she never hoped to make. Sam’s greatest desire is to be free. Free from the bonds of slavery, free to choose his own path, free to become the man God created him to be. But when circumstances conspire to lead him only further into slavery, he is pressed to make a choice that will change the course of his life forever. When Laura and Sam cross paths, they find themselves on an unlikely journey to freedom that spans the western United States and leads them on a journey that requires all of their strength.

Cass Raines left the Chicago Police force after a morally bankrupt cop nearly got her killed. Now she runs her own Private Detective agency. When her old CPD friend and partner, Ben Mickerson asks Cass to join him for a side gig, she’s happy to do it. Then she meets the client – the wealthy, powerful owner of a fast-growing media empire. Vonda Allen is loved by the public but hated by her employees and also by whoever is sending her death threats. Cass isn’t thrilled about babysitting a heartless diva, but when two of Vonda’s staff members are murdered, the case gets serious. Then, at one of Vonda’s book signings, a mysterious fan stabs Ben. Although Vonda fires her, Cass is worried that Ben won’t pull through. Now, there’s no way she’s going to sit this one out even though that same morally bankrupt cop and his friend are trying to trip her up. She’s hell bent on figuring out Vonda’s secrets and determined to get answers before anyone else, including Vonda, dies. Tracy Clark is the author of the highly acclaimed Chicago Mystery Series featuring ex-homicide cop turned PI Cassandra Raines, a hard-driving, African-American protagonist who works the mean streets of the Windy City dodging cops, cons, killers, and thugs. She received Anthony Award and Lefty Award nominations for her series debut, Broken Places, which was also shortlisted for the American Library Association’s RUSA Reading List, named a CrimeReads Best New PI Book of 2018, a Midwest Connections Pick, and a Library Journal Best Books of the Year.
