How do you celebrate mother's day when your mother has passed? For me, mother's day is hard and has been something I hadn't really celebrated since 1994 when I lost my mother tragically. Some have asked about that, while others have living mother's who aren't...mothers. Every year, I allow myself to go to a "safe" mental place in my emotions. Everyone deal with the "motherless on Mother's Day" thing different. Just go through it! Listen in as I share private thoughts and take questions from the audience. Want the story behind the story? Read Motherless Child available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobile, and audio available on Audible.

This week’s featured queen tells her story of how losing her nephew gave her a revelation of her life. Telly Walker, the author of Strategize Mobilize Visualize, a guided journal, tells us how we must give ourselves permission. And as women, we might not think we need it because we run the world, but when you learn how to trust your own voice it is a different story. Telly’s story is inspiring and empowering because she is honest and insightful. She shares how we all go through moments of questioning God even though nobody wants to admit that out loud. When she lost her nephew, it made her question her own life's work and how she was living. Her book Strategize Mobilize Visualize takes you through a journey of really getting into this thing called life and your goals. There are certain focus areas, such as finances, personal development and more in this dynamic journal. Most of all, she has us asking ourselves are we attending to our vision or just doing vision boards because they are hot?The best part about this whole interview for me had to be when she said most of us are captured by comparison! Telly is committed to helping women gain clarity on their vision, give themselves permission and chase it! She is my kind of queen!
