Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

I come from violence; my father beat my mother on a regular basis. Eventually, I moved out and fulfilled my dream of becoming a dancer. I created my 1-woman show, “Home Sweet Home?”. I play different women being abused and then she goes to her good place, that’s where the dancing comes in but then she is pulled back into the terror of being abused once again. The show ends very strong, very empowering. Extensive research was done for the show and I couldn’t believe the alarming statistics.

I decided to make this into a business and Osso Safe was born. I wanted to provide products and services that can really positively impact people's lives, whether they are going through violence or not. My personal and professional experience with the subject allows me to bring a unique and holistic approach by combining education and technology to promote safety and prevent violence in the workplace, schools, and in particular, in places of residence. Since I am also a professional dancer/teacher, I use my performance abilities to educate on the subject.

A struggle is that we absolutely cannot solve the magnitude of this problem by treating this as a charity, as a nonprofit. Victims neither need pity nor handouts. They need solutions, they need resolution, which is why we focus on 3 markets: schools, workplaces, and residences. Our approach is indeed a practice and I am bridging the real estate industry with Osso Safe. In doing so, this will change the face of residency, where safety/nonviolence will become a required standard condition of residency. Period. This is good for business, good for residency.

Abuse should not be a part of anyone’s residency, ever. Just Because You Are A Parent, It Doesn’t Give You The Right To Abuse Your Child. The Osso Safe approach to diminishing and preventing home violence in schools, workplaces, and properties, focuses on the fact that this is indeed a practice. There is a direct connection between violence and pornography.

The “legal” system makes horrible matters even worse, in that, it does what is in the worst interest of the abused child versus what is in the best interest of the abused child. An example of what constitutes a good relationship is to allow your kids to vent when they are upset and then speak to them as calmly as possible; this is both healing for the child and the parent. We would also like to focus on Osso Safe's vision for the prevention of home violence and the real estate industry.

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Author and Fortune 500 sales executive Becca Powers likes to describe herself as having a full appetite, stating that women with busy careers can have their cake and eat it too without sacrificing a crumb.

However, she believes that they should never have to calendar in their self-care, family, and free time, believing that it takes away from the spontaneous joy of life. Instead, she writes in her upcoming book Harness Your Inner CEO that it's possible to enjoy the "season" you're in without overwhelming yourself with to-dos.

She can speak to:

- The Power of "And": Life doesn't have to be a series of "or's". How to give yourself permission to be multifaceted - you can be a career badass AND the best mom on the planet

- Balance is BS: Instead of letting your calendar rule your life, allow yourself to evolve organically. If you're too rushed off your feet to exercise today, that's okay! Be kind to yourself instead of holding yourself to a rigid schedule

- The Wholeness of You: Don't waste your time trying to be digestible for others. Experience the fullness of who you are, and the right opportunities will follow

- Reorganize the Ladder: How to make sure your priorities are in check to increase prosperity, feelings of self-worth, and net worth (hint: your career should be last)

Anger, Shame, Tantrums, and Blame To Healing and Becoming A Life Coach with Natalie Hixson

The tantrum was bad – really bad. The rage came and went. What was the little one to do? She was absolutely helpless. And here is why… The tantrum wasn’t coming from her. It was coming from her mama!

The mama felt stuck dragging a ball and chain of rage. She blamed God, her parents, the world around her – even blamed her child - never seeing the source of rage was from within.

Mama took her kiddo to a therapist thinking if the child had help then the anger would go away. The wise woman looked at the mom and said, “My dear, the child is normal for her age. It’s YOU who needs help.” The mother was in shock – but it was exactly what she needed to hear.

It was then that I, the mom, realized I could take responsibility for my own rage and begin the healing journey – not only for me but for my child. I was the one who needed to overcome the anger and rage. It was not a simple journey but was well worth everything I put into it!

I am now that Mom I wanted to be – having fun being a loving, guiding parent who takes joy in being with my kids and husband! I now coach discouraged, burnt-out Christian Moms, helping them overcome destructive anger so they enjoy being a wife and mom.

Natalie Hixson is a wife, mother, auntie, and certified professional life coach who helps discouraged Christian moms overcome destructive anger and burnout. After learning to thrive in motherhood and process anger in a healthy way, Natalie became convicted to help other moms avoid those dark years of motherhood by helping them to appreciate and process their anger, learn to identify their triggers, and ultimately control their reaction to those triggering situations. She enjoys her own motherhood journey by hanging with her husband Mike and their three daughters in beautiful Bozeman, Montana.

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

First interview November 12, 2019: https://youtu.be/Rb3Tcg3YMFA

In our first interview, we discussed Nancy’s physical, emotional and sexual abuse, being put in foster care, the continuing abuse, her father's death when she was 28.

She’s been an advocate for abused children and intellectually challenged adults, has fostered and adopted children, and served on the board of two related non-profits. Professionally, she has over 30 years of leadership experience in the financial services industry across numerous disciplines, with a passion for empowering individuals in the workplace.

She wants to champion others to say “I am an incest survivor” without shame, guilt, or fear of repercussions, and to open a dialogue that removes the societal taboo of acknowledging and discussing incest. Just as we rush to put out a house fire and support the survivors with love, compassion, and help, Nancy dreams that one day we will rush without judgment to extinguish the fire of incest.

A strong voice for those shamed to silence and the long-term impacts of child sexual abuse, Nancy hosts the Tail of the Bell podcast available on most podcast platforms. Each episode focuses on a specific topic interpreted through a featured incest survivor’s personal story and, where needed, further explored by experts. A trained life coach, Nancy also helps incest survivors help themselves through Tail of the Bell, Inc's programs.

TAIL OF THE BELL:

We provide unique coaching programs for adult survivors of child sexual abuse, particularly emphasizing parent-child incest, to help them thrive in their personal, communal, and professional spaces. We incorporate a holistic approach to supporting these individuals while raising community awareness; by educating employers on ways to assist survivors, by enabling survivors to empower one another in a safe place, by providing a survivor’s voice through motivational talks at various engagements, and by facilitating Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children training.

What’s behind our name?

A bell curve is often used to describe the occurrence of a wide variety of real-world human characteristic data, such as a person’s height or IQ, where most numbers are concentrated around an average, there’s an equal likelihood of highs and lows, and extreme occurrences are rarer. Here, the bell curve is used to represent the distribution of normal life experiences. Most people will have experiences that fall within a tight range around the average such as riding a bike for the first time, marriage, graduation, etc. As you move further away from the center, where the average life occurrences reside, toward the graphical ends you will see extreme outliers. On the right side, are those that have achieved rare, ever-lasting bliss. On the left side, are those that have experienced extreme tragedy and loss. These individual outliers when grouped together, become the “tail”.

Tail of the Bell works with individuals whose personal histories are at the extreme left end of a life experiences bell curve to empower them to move beyond their beginnings, stand big, connect with their peers, choose happiness, and fulfill their dreams. As outliers, these individuals may find it difficult to be understood by those with more common personal histories. If this resonates with you, you are not alone and we can help. We “get it” because our founder is a survivor!
