Federal Contractor DEI Rule Blocked  In a lawsuit brought by Chicago Women in Trades, a federal judge paused a rule from Executive Order 14173 requiring federal contractors to certify that they don't operate DEI programs that violate anti-discrimination laws, citing unclear definitions of “illegal” DEI programs Independent Contractor Rule in Limbo The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit paused a challenge to the 2024 independent contractor rule, allowing the U.S. Department of Labor time to consider revising or replacing it. For now, the Biden-era rule remains in effect.

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most deeply rooted and inspiring women I've ever met, Amy Wine. She opens up about her powerful journey of healing from childhood trauma and how that path led her to become a therapist. Despite everything she's been through, she found a deep sense of purpose in helping others walk through their own traumas. Amy has this incredible ability to stay calm in the most intense situations—something she credits to her past and the lessons she's learned in handling high-stress moments. She even shares this harrowing story of a client pulling a gun on her, and how she managed to stay calm and centered through it all. Her story is a beautiful testament to the power of healing and how God can truly redeem our past to help others. We also dive into the importance of building bridges—connecting with others and filling the gaps in their lives—and how Amy's own experiences shaped her view on that. We chat about what it really takes to start a business, pushing past fear, and the steps she took to open her own counseling center. And of course, we touch on the dangers of comparison and how essential it is to be fully present and listen to those around us. It's such a rich conversation, and I just know it's going to leave you feeling uplifted and inspired!
