This week, Latonia recaps guests Colleen Cooper, Nischa Phair, Veronica Stanford, and Sharon Burrell's episodes and reflects on key points from each podcast. She then discusses the importance of the stories that each of us have and how they can be healing us and a 'releasing' for others. March is designated as Women History Month but each month is a celebration of the stories that each of us have. Our stories are for God's Glory...HERSTORIES!

This week, Latonia has a conversation with, returning guest from Season 1, Pastor and Author Sharon A. Burrell. Their discussion mainly centers around when a memory from your past is remembered and the process that happens to our minds, soul, and spirit to adhere to that memory. Some incidents, from an earlier time in life, can be so traumatic until we can forget the incident in our adulthood. The memory is still there but it is suppressed. Pastor Burrell also talks about her new book, 'Love Filled Lies; Through the Windows of My Mind' available now on Amazon. Listen in on the conversation!

This week, Latonia has a conversation with philanthropist Veronica D. Stanford. Veronica shares her story of going from grief to becoming an encourager. She goes indepth in the conversation of a time in her life that no mother wants to experience. She is transparent about various events in her life that led up to the news that came knocking on her door one morning. Through her grief, God reshaped her and helped her to walk into her destiny. God has enlarged her territory by ordaining her as a licensed Minister, Motivational Speaker, Author, and Servant. She also married her loving and supportive husband, Elder Joseph Stanford. She has a twice a week Facebook Live series called, Let Me Encourage You For A Minute! During this conversation, she exhibits how she encourages and finds the lighter side through laughter. Listen in on the conversation!

Today, Latonia's guest Nischa Heron Phair is an author, researcher, trauma-informed pleasure

educator and the founder of SomaBody Trauma-Informed Pleasure Work. She works with survivors and those recovering from unhealthy relationships to help them reclaim a nourishing, authentic and soulfully-aligned relationship to pleasure that supports them to live more purposefully in every area of their lives.

Being an advocate, and helping others, are things that cannot haphazardly be performed but there must be a passion for it. Being able to make a diffetence in the lives of others can be very satisfying and adds a gratification to life that makes it all worthwhile.
