Andy’s Substack Podcast

Hi everyone! I’m Kimberly J. Stevens, a Hall of Fame athlete turned author and resilience speaker who helps people find hope after heartbreak and purpose after pain. I often say I’m both a Hall of Fame winner and a Hall of Fame loser. I’ve known the thrill of breaking records and the heartbreak of losing everything, including my son, years in children’s hospitals with my daughter, breast cancer, divorce, and financial collapse. Through it all, God kept teaching me one truth: Don’t stop showing up for hope. My story isn’t just about survival — it’s about restoration, faith, and discovering that God never wastes a single storm. With a powerful personal story of resilience and a proven track record of success, she inspires organizations to take small, daily steps that create big, measurable outcomes —both professionally and personally.As a record holding collegiate athlete and an award-winning insurance agency owner, Kimberly understands the power of determination, adaptability, and strategic action. Her career began with 16 years in pharmaceutical sales, helping patients navigate insurance complexities.Since launching her agency in 2016, she has helped countless individuals and businesses secure financial and health protection, reinforcing her core belief: preparation and perseverance lead to success. But Kimberly’s impact goes beyond business. She has turned personal adversity—including the loss of her son, a life-threatening illness in her daughter, breast cancer, and financial hardship—into a formula for resilience that teams can apply to stay focused, push through setbacks, and deliver results. Her passion for turning challenges into opportunities led her to Extend the Wave, a movement bringing hope, encouragement, and connection to children and families in hospitals nationwide.@https://kimberlyjstevens.com/home https://www.facebook.com/kimberlyjstevens https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-j-stevens-2a9a187 https://www.instagram.com/kimberlystevenswrites #KimberlyJStevens#KJSPurpose#KJSHealing#KJSTransformation#CoachKimberlyJStevens#PurposeWithKimberlyJStevens

I’m Angie P — a Purpose Life Coach, motivational speaker, and a woman who literally got a second chance at life. In May 2020, I died and was brought back to life. That moment changed everything for me. I realized God wasn’t done with me yet — I was still here for a reason. I’ve battled through depression, anxiety, addiction, and moments where I didn’t think I’d make it. But through faith, prayer, and gratitude, I learned that my pain had a purpose. Today, I use my story to help others find hope, healing, and alignment with their God-given calling. Key Topics I Speak On: The Day God Gave Me a Second Chance: I share the moment I flatlined and how it opened my eyes to the reality that life is fragile but full of grace. I want listeners to know that no matter how dark it gets, there’s always light — and sometimes it takes losing everything to find who you really are. From Broken to Breakthrough: I talk about what it felt like to live in constant anxiety and depression, and how God walked me out of that pit. Healing doesn’t happen overnight — it happens when you start choosing hope, one day at a time. Finding Purpose After Pain: I believe pain is the birthplace of purpose. I share how I discovered mine through my healing journey and how others can too. It’s all about shifting from ‘Why me?’ to ‘What is God showing me?’ Faith as My Foundation: Faith is what carried me through. When I invited God into my healing process, everything changed. My peace, strength, and purpose all started with surrender. @https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579911753681&instagram.com/angie.p.speaks tiktok.com/@angie.p.speaksyoutube.com/@angie.p.speaks#TheRideOfHopeAndResilience#angiepeachyou #RideWithAngieP#AngieAcrossAmerica#Hope#Resilience#Inspiration#Motivation#Mindset

Dr. Aaron Chapa’s journey toward health and wellness began at a young age. Struggling with his weight in eighth grade, he made the life-changing decision to eliminate sugar, shedding 45 pounds over one summer. This experience ignited his passion for nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. However, it was during his freshman year in college, when Dr. Chapa held his father in his final moments after a sudden heart attack, that his mission became clear. Realizing how the traditional medical system had failed his father with inadequate cardiovascular care, Dr. Chapa committed his life to exploring how proper nutrition, mental wellness, and daily healthy practices can truly heal the body at a cellular level. A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College, Dr. Chapa and his wife founded Living Well Clinical Nutrition Center in 2007. Starting with humble beginnings and their first child in tow, they sought to help people achieve wellness without relying on drugs or surgery. Their family has embraced a natural lifestyle—opting for home births, no vaccinations, and no pharmaceutical drugs—reflecting the very principles Dr. Chapa teaches his patients daily. With over 20 years of dedicated study under the guidance of some of the leading minds in functional wellness, Dr. Chapa has committed himself to educating others on the profound impact of cellular health. His mantra, “All life starts and stops at the cellular level,” embodies his approach to holistic healing.

Get ready for a conversation that blends heart, humor, and strategy—and helps you tap into the power you may not even realize you already have. Sir Evans is no stranger to loss. In 2006 he lost his mother, in 2009 he lost his sister, in 2018 he lost his father and in 2022 he lost his brother. Instead of allowing those experiences to take him to a place of depression and hopelessness, he used them to inspire, empower and motivate himself, which later turned into a voice that does the same for others. Over a decade ago, SIR weighed 525 pounds and after leaving so many years behind, he finally started to live one. One day, he finally came to the realization that if God continued to wake him up, he would take each day one day at a time. Sir began a painful transformation, where the negativity he experienced was converted and his tragedy transformed into triumph. In 2022, he delivered his first TEDx Talk at his alma mater, Bowling Green State University. He shared how “creativity is the fuel that powers both rich and poor alike and when we empower people with freedom for ideas, they are able to use their imagination toward new discoveries that can benefit society”. Since losing several family members, Sir has been an advocate for mental health, grief and spiritual wellness. @https://qualitysirvice.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@qualitysirvice4919 https://www.instagram.com/qualitysirvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/qualitysirvice https://qualitysirvice.com/superpowerplanner/ #ChristianLiving #faithJourney#PurposeDrivenLife#GodsPlan#spiritualgrowth #ChristianAuthor#FaithandWork#LifePlanning#ChristianBook #PurposefulLife#sirevans#TheSuperpowerPlanner

That's a quarter of Cambodian population. I am grateful to survive and escape to find peace & freedom again. I use my strength, faith & confidence drawn from this experience to share and inspire my audience to overcome fear and anxiety and live a fulfilling life harmoniously on a personal and professional level grew up in Cambodia. For 4 years I was held captive by the Khmer Rouge Communist and endured very harsh working conditions. I worked very long hours in the rice fields under the intense hot sun. I lived with very little food or sleep which made me very sick and I contracted several diseases. When I got too sick to work, I was sent to a death camp, waiting to die. I prayed every day for God to help me. He gave me the courage to attempt a dangerous escape with 3 of my trusted friends and we made it out. @https://www.saraim.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sara.imm.3 https://twitter.com/SmartHealthyLvg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCNdvUBmU1kYgGq-DO01wIQ https://www.instagram.com/saraimspeaker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/saraim-speaker-author/ #FindingHope #Adversity #Inspiration #SaraIm #OvercomingChallenges #Resilience #HopeAndHealing #MentalWellness #PersonalGrowth #MotivationalSpeaker #LifeCoach
