A Quest for Well-Being

— As they were finalizing their manuscript, Ronni's daughter sent them a screengrab of an Instagram post from "jabbieapp" that read:

"Never underestimate a cycle breaker.

Not only did they experience years of generational trauma but they stood in the face of the trauma and fought to say, "This ends with me."

This is brave.

This is powerful.

This comes at a significant cost.

Never underestimate a cycle breaker.

Ronni and Jennie read it, and cried.

A few weeks later, Ronni found a post on Instagram from Xavier Dagba and sent it to Jennie:

"All this time you thought you were nothing

but the black sheep of your lineage,

whereas you were being initiated to be their liberator. Healing looks good on you.

Keep going.

Jennie cried, and something in her shifted.

These two amazing sisters started their journey with a sincere desire to spare their children the pain they had endured—to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse and addiction so that they could live beautiful lives. They also hoped that they could reparent themselves and live beautiful lives of their own. And they did, if imperfectly. Though they are still learning and growing, Ronni and Jennie have each created something well beyond what we could have imagined at the beginning of this ride.

This means they are more than survivors. They are, indeed, rockstars!!!

— "Playing the tape is a way to stay clean. You play the tape when you feel like getting out of yourself and getting into substance. Play the tape and go to a meeting, go for a walk, or call a friend. That doesn't mean looking back and feeling shame, guilt, and regret (you will learn to forgive yourself first.) It means don't forget that for us, one is too many, and a thousand is never enough. It can be really simple when we break it down, and that is what Belle is here to do. This is how Belle, and many others before her, have gotten and stayed clean and sober. Her book, "Play The Tape" is for the addict prone to relapse, the people still in active addiction, and those new to recovery. Follow the steps she did, and you can do it too. You can be the best version of yourself."

Valeria interviews Belle Motley — She is the author of "Play the Tape: 5 Simple Ways to Help You Stay Clean and Sober One Day at a Time; Recovery from the Addiction of Drugs and Alcohol is Possible."

Belle has had an interesting life, to say the least. She has always been guided by Spirit, but it wasn't until her mother's passing that she became fascinated by Angel Numbers. Many signs were sent to her, with numbers being the most prominent. Belle aims to share her wisdom and experience to help others flourish on their spiritual journeys.

Prior to this, Belle lost her way. She was taught morals and faith as a child and grew into a young adult with big dreams. She created a good life and achieved many goals. However, there came a point where life got complicated, as it does for most. This led to active addiction, and everything she had built was quickly lost, including almost her life. Fortunately, she was blessed to find recovery, which led her out of the darkness and into her spiritual awakening.

Now, Belle utilizes the power of the Universe to manifest all her dreams and goals. She listens to her dreams and pays attention to signs, which has led her on a beautiful journey of abundance and fulfillment. She aims to help others find the path that will lead to harmony, peace, healing, and purpose in their lives. Regardless of the name, the Universe, God, Higher Power, and Source Energy have big plans for everyone. You are loved.

— "If you want to succeed, you must forget about a balanced life and strive towards an abundant life. This means you must work on each of the five life-building blocks consistently in order to bring them all to an abundant state where not a single one is incomplete or so compromised that it gets in the way of the others. These life-building blocks are in close relationship with each other, exactly like the organ systems in the human body. You cannot expect excellent health unless all your body systems work at a hundred percent individually and together. Poor health may start unnoticed and gradually erode your body and mind over the course of several years, just as successfully as poor relationships and poor financial intelligence will drag your long-term endeavors and lower your chances of success. It is the same exact principle across the board."

Valeria interviews Alexandra Dotcheva — She is the author of "It Really Is Simple: A Holistic Approach To Self-Confidence: A Practical Guide."

Born and raised into a musicians' family in Bulgaria, Alexandra Dotcheva came to the United States in 2000 after earning a bachelor's degree in Music from the National Academy of Music in Sofia. She earned a Doctor of Musical Arts in Violin Performance from Louisiana State University in 2007. Alexandra Dotcheva joined the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra in 2006, and in 2008, prompted by the economic crisis, she decided to pursue a career in nursing at the St. Joseph's College of Nursing in Syracuse, NY. For her academic and clinical performance, she was awarded the John Trzeciak Award in 2010, and the Stella Sroka Award for Excellence in Cardiac Nursing and the Esther G. McCarty Memorial Scholarship in 2011 upon graduation.

Alexandra Dotcheva has been practicing as a registered nurse since 2011, with a strong passion for educating patients on acquiring optimal health. Her nursing experience includes ICU, orthopedic trauma, and home care. In 2014, she began her investing career with a focus on rental real estate and, later on, options trading. She is the owner of three real estate businesses and a holistic coaching business.

Alexandra's passion for health, martial arts, fitness, and financial independence, as well as her experience with the challenges of cultural integration prompted her to write the book, It Really Is Simple: A Holistic Approach to Self-Confidence – A Practical Guide, in which she shares her path to success in an effort to motivate readers to embrace change and pursue their dreams, in spite of fear and insecurity. Her mission is to help people overcome self-imposed limitations that prevent many from realizing their goals, finding peace of mind, and acquiring prosperity. By sharing her own journey to achieving control over the most important aspects of life, Alexandra's goal is to inspire others to turn away from various forms of fear and self-doubt and go after their dreams instead of leading lives subdued to conventional ways of thinking that have long been proven outdated, inadequate, and damaging to a person's self-esteem and self-confidence.

— "Sometimes, we are reminded that pain and suffering are inevitable parts of the human experience. As Christians, we may face adversity in the form of an illness. Sickness has the potential to cripple us mentally, physically, and emotionally, but it can sometimes allow us to shift our emphasis away from our daily lives and toward God. Experiencing sickness may feel overwhelming or frightening, but it can also help us grow closer to God and strengthen our faith. Sometimes, God uses some of us best when we are weak and ill to perform something we could never have dreamed of. "

It can be a challenge to move on from a breakup when you reminisce about the good times you had together.

— "The essence of divine love, the seed of the human expression of love, is impersonal and therefore passionless. In a sense, divine love is detached "emotionless!" Detachment should not be misinterpreted for lack of caring. We are emotionally attached when we expect validation and recognition from another. When we try to find ourselves through someone else, we end up losing ourselves. We attain emotional freedom when we enter the divine heart within our own heart for, it is there that the flame of unconditional, impersonal, divine love burns. Unspoiled by the ego and untouched by human consciousness, the divine heart clearly sees the light and darkness of the human soul and loves both equally. When we experience imbalance of any kind, it is because our lack of love, particularly self-love, prevents us from allowing God within to fully love us. We are taught to love God, but the real challenge is to let God love us by loving ourselves. To love oneself is the ultimate divine command." — Excerpt from From Childhood To Christhood

Valeria interviews Jocelyne Ranucci — She is the author of "FROM CHILDHOOD TO CHRISTHOOD: A Journey into Universal Divine Consciousness."

— "Teach your children how to strengthen their immune systems with a healthy lifestyle, good nutrition, and a positive mindset, and model these steps in your own life. Positivity is preventive.

Valeria interviews Dr. Bob Sears — He is the author of "The Vaccine Book" and seven other books.

— In Dr. Tiffanie Tate's book, Lillie and Linda, two little sisters, want to make every adult happy. It was just their mother and them living alone. During the time their mother had a new boyfriend, he helped take care of them. At first, he was nice, but then he changed. It took Lillie and Linda some time to realize that making everyone happy isn't always the best thing if it hurts them. Identifying abusive situations and providing directions for seeking help and reporting abuse are some of the goals of Dr. Tiffanie's work.

Valeria interviews Dr. Tiffanie Tate — She is the author of "Bad Touching."

Originally from Compton, California, Tiffanie Tate, M.D. is a Christian, mother, servant, listener, and medical doctor, who now resides in the Inland Empire. Her interest in becoming a physician began when she was in middle school, while volunteering with her church to help the homeless in Los Angeles. She saw people who were both hungry and sick. She wanted to do more than serve food. She wanted to help them in a meaningful way.

With a love for science and math, she applied herself fully in school. This was not easy as she had many distractions. Both of her biological parents struggled with drug addiction. And while she never met her father, she heard he was homeless and often wondered whether her father was one of the homeless she and her church were helping. With the loving support of her maternal family and specifically, her maternal Aunt, known as "Momtee," Tiffanie received the love, support, and stability she needed to thrive.

Dr. Tate earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara, and a Medical Doctorate degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.

After serving as a medical officer in the United States Navy during the Global War on Terror, she completed her residency in obstetrics and Gynecology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She practiced in Tennessee and California before sustaining a life altering injury.

Dr. Tate has served as a volunteer within the local community, in churches, and with her sorority, given lectures to family practice residents, and in the numerous places where she has lived.

She began writing poems as an outlet after she was medically retired following six surgeries over two years following an injury. She wrote her first book, FloweTry: A Collection of 108 Poetic Flows on Life, Love, and Liturgical Issues to help encourage and uplift herself and others. Bad Touching is her second book but her first children's book. In the Fall, her third book, second children's book, titled Little Engine Mia Sings, addressing bullying, will be published.

She has two spectacular children in college—Nathaniel and Mia, and Dr. Tate enjoys singing, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
