---Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message20 min - Building a legacy that will globally impact others with Angela MarshallStuck between two worlds, I didn’t have the confidence to dare to be different.I was a counterfeit everything to everyone but an authentic nothing to myself.When you’re not sure who you are, folks and society will gladly attempt to turn you into what they want you to be. I was many things for many people but neglected myself. It was a miserable and disconnected period but It taught me later to live my inner truth instead of living an outer lie for others.From NFL wife to entrepreneur life is frustrating and challenging BUT I know it was needed for growth. So, while I’m not in love with the process, I adore it because it has stretched me in faith, failures, and focus. I thought I would always work to build dreams for others. I didn’t really start thinking about my own company, being an author or speaker until I published my first book in 2016. I live by the motto- “Success is a dish served only to the bold.”Submitting my resignation was a time of ambition and anxiety. I thought about the decrease in money, I weighed the cost of start-up for my vision and I considered the time and effort required for my business to be successful. With all those “what-ifs” attempting to hinder me, I boldly badged out of the exit side automated corporate doors.I walked exactly 104 steps to my vehicle with a close friend and co-worker that repeatedly told me, “don’t look back,” and I officially became an entrepreneur.Rejection, not-so-nice reactions, and resistance are stumbling blocks that you must learn how to turn into stepping stones along the entrepreneur brick road.Over time, I’ve trained my brain to not take the answer “no” personally or professionally. I’ve also stopped waiting on others to give me the tools and materials to build doors of opportunity that I should be constructing myself.I share my story, struggles, strengths, and successes with the world after being asked about marriage and life with a celebrity professional athlete by so many people across the globe. It was difficult hearing their “assessment” for me in the supposed life of the rich and famous.My life is building a legacy that will globally impact others to stretch, evolve and embrace their reflection. I empower people to live vicariously through themselves!FIND HER HERE:https://www.facebook.com/wisewordswoman ( https://www.facebook.com/wisewordswoman)https://www.instagram.com/inotherwordsbystone (https://www.instagram.com/inotherwordsbystone)https://www.inotherwordsbystone.com (https://www.inotherwordsbystone.com)CONNECT WITH JENN:https://linktr.ee/momofeighteenThe podcast is for those of you who know that there is more to life and that our true authentic souls are built for greatness.

- Normalizing mental health, healing from substance abuse and addiction with Jay ShifmanJay Shifman is an open book. A vulnerable storyteller and stigma-destroying speaker, podcaster, and event host, Jay’s story of struggle is familiar to the millions of people the world over who also struggle with issues of mental health, substance misuse, and addiction. Now in long-term recovery, it is Jay’s mission to encourage difficult conversations and honest education concerning these and similar struggles.Jay founded his company, Choose Your Struggle, in 2015 with two distinct goals; ending stigma and ensuring that those who struggle receive the help they deserve. A fervent believer in radical honesty and the simple fact that neither struggle nor recovery should be treated as a one-size-fits-all experience, Jay uses his voice, and his platforms to educate, entertain, and empower.Looking to make these conversations even more accessible, Jay launched the Choose Your Struggle podcast in early 2020. In a short amount of time, Choose Your Struggle is already in the top .2% of worldwide listenership and has cracked numerous top lists and venerable rankings. The show combines vulnerable storytelling and expert education around the topics of mental health, substance misuse and recovery, and drug use and policy. Past guests have included former congress member Katie Hill, celebrated authors John Hudak and Gregg Clunis, and advocates Tessa Xuan, Elizabeth Mckissick, and Michelle Kuei.An accomplished orator in his own right, Jay has numerous speaking and storytelling events to his name. He prides himself on his practiced approach of drawing in the listener while discussing hard topics in a way that puts a human face on struggles that we often discuss in a dehumanizing way. Not content with only one platform, in 2021 Jay began producing two narrative event series, Rock Bottom Storytellers and A Day in the Life, which give voice to shared experiences, normalize discussing periods of struggle, and seek to build a community around our shared cultural love of a good story! Both events are currently virtual with the hope that in a post-covid world they can be produced for a stage near you!Holding a BA in Psychology from Northern Kentucky University and with over a decade of lived and professional experience in the field, Jay has put in numerous hours of independent learning acquiring certifications in mental health, substance misuse and addiction, and drug policy. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Lauren, and their dog, Nell.For more information, visit:http://www.jayshifman.com ( www.jayshifman.com) or find him on your favorite social media platform.FIND JAY HERE:https://jay.campsite.bio/ (https://jay.campsite.bio/)CONNECT WITH JENN:https://linktr.ee/momofeighteenThe podcast is for those of you who know that there is more to life and that our true authentic souls are built for greatness.

- Teen Pregnancies, Abortion, Shame, Guilt & Abusive Relationships to Mindset & Business CoachBefore the age of 17, I was faced with 3 pregnancies, 2 ended in abortion. These painful choices devastated me and put me in a state of rage.Angry and bitter, I despised everything. Fearful and full of shame and guilt I knew I had to get away from this narcissistic, gaslighting man, or I would end up destitute. Hiding behind shame and guilt, I kept my secret hidden and believed I deserved perpetual punishment.For over 3 decades I struggled with unforgiveness and turned to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Counseling didn’t get to the root cause-I buried myself in my career and side gig.Despite my angry outbursts, I advanced and was successful in my job and church-my heart was hurting so I drank, ate, and became addicted to 0% credit cards, until one day I had enough.I overcame the fear, removed the blocks and the walls came tumbling down.FIND HER HERE:https://lisadrennon.com (https://Lisadrennon.com)https://www.facebook.com/lisadthefacetscoach/ (https://www.facebook.com/lisadthefacetscoach/)Freebie URL to share with guests:https://lisadrennon.com/ftgileadmagnet ( https://LisaDrennon.com/ftgileadmagnet)Best way to connect via DMLisa Drennon is the author of Forgiving the Girl Inside: finding balance, freedom, and fun in your life, an energetic Mindset Mentor Business Strategist who helps Christian Female Entrepreneurs unwrap their gifts and talents, pursue their passion with their purpose so they can create consistent content and confidently connect with their soulmate client.CONNECT WITH JENN:https://linktr.ee/momofeighteenThe podcast is for those of you who know that there is more to life and that our true authentic souls are built for greatness.

- Diet, weight loss, and healing emotional eating with Cassie Christopher, MS RD CD-Grad school for nutrition, type A personality, super stressed--> emotional eating to cope resulted in feeling out of control around food, weight gain, no energy, etc.-Became a Registered Dietitian and nothing I had learned seemed to help. If anything diets and the belief that food is medicine were making it worse.-Fast forward several years, new Mom, stressful time, using food to cope again. Realized I felt unworthy of self-care because I believed they were more worthy of care. Worked on autoimmune issues with Naturopath, Intensive therapy... stopped eating and began helping other people with overeating and weight loss, and they were successful.-Then the pandemic happened. I would read at the dinner table with my family, I realized books and other acceptable "vices" were my new food for coping. I was using other things to numb rather than being present in my life.-Through intense self-development, I realized I still wasn't feeling my feelings, I started practicing getting present to my feelings. Part of this journey was letting go of old beliefs that my desires and feelings were suspect at best and likely sinful. I realized I was looking for pleasure from food/escape, rather than from identifying and pursuing things I enjoy.-I started to feel very self-conscious about my body feeling like I needed to look like an "after" photo if I was going to help people lose weight. My heart was breaking over my clients and prospects using words like "disgust" and feeling like they hated mirrors when they thought about their bodies. I began redefining beauty for myself and studying how to improve body image.-Many women believe weight loss will help them feel comfortable in their own skin when in reality weight loss helps them fit in with cultural (and patriarchal) beauty norms. My eyes were opened to how these cultural norms stop women from living the lives they were meant to live and keep them small.-I began implementing techniques to help my clients stay in the present with their feelings, body acceptance work, and less of a focus on weight loss so women can feel in control around food and comfortable in their own skin. Focusing on self-care in 4 key areas.FIND HER HERE:Website and blog:http://www.cassiechristopher.net ( www.cassiechristopher.net)Free Facebook group: http://facebook.com/groups/emotionaleatingandwomensweightloss ( facebook.com/groups/emotionaleatingandwomensweightloss)Instagram: @CassieChristopherRDFreebie URL: Cassiechristopher.net/FreeYou’re Done Dieting, But Still Want to Heal Emotional Eating:A Roadmap to Achieve Peace and Freedom with Food and to Feel Comfortable In Your Own Skin, for Women over 45 Who Have Tried it AllBest way to connect: send me an email: [email protected]CONNECT WITH JENN:https://linktr.ee/momofeighteenThe podcast is for those of you who know that there is more to life and that our true authentic souls are built for greatness.
