    44: Pretty on Purpose with Tara Lamar

     Do you always feel pretty? I certainly don't. I am not always dressed in the latest fashion trends, my eyebrows are not always on fleek and my hair...well, my hair always looks good (sisterlocks)! 

    We know that pretty is more than looking great, it's more than skin deep. In this episode Tara shares with it really means to be a "pretty girl" and how our sometimes we can allow our ugly past to threaten our purpose. 

     

    In this episode:

    • Learn how being honest can help you come out of the dark and into the light. 
  • Learn the part forgiveness plays in your purpose.
  • Learn how fear may be keeping you from healing. 
  • About Tara Lamar

     Founder of The Pretty Girl Movement. This organization and community is full of women embracing their God-given beauty. She believes pretty is a mindset and beliefe that goes deeper than make-up, style and looks. She is an amazing woman of faith, mother and my future great girlfriend! 

    She is a woman well acquainted with pain. Her past was so ugly that she was not sure she could ever recover. She spent over 25 years living in shame, guilt, and condemnation because of things such as molestation, rape, abortions, teen pregnancy amongst other things that she had suffered and done. She knew God had a plan for her life and being a church girl she was pretty sure that what God had planned for her was good. However, she never felt good enough for the good God had for her. She found her true identity and her real value when she decided to be honest with herself, dealt with the secrets of her past, and allowed God to truly heal her. Now she teaches hundreds of women how to do the same!

    43: Self-love is NOT selfish with Tamara Rice

    Can I get a show of hands if you are busy this holiday season? Are there things you need to get done at work? at home? at church? If you are like most of us then your hand is up and you get tired just thinking about everything you still have left to get done. We spend much of our time taking care of the needs of everyone around us and seldom take time to care for ourselves. 

    I don't know who is responsible for the idea that taking time to love and care for yourself is something selfish or makes you self-absorbant. I believed it for years and my actions are proof. 

    This episode with Tamara was like therapy for me and I hope it has the same impact on you. She unpacks the importance of self-love in the lives of those who give so much of themselves to others.

     

    In this episode:

    • Learn how to choose yourself first
  • Learn how to develop a healthy relationship with yourself
  • Learn how saying "no" is a sign of true love (for self)
  •  

    About Tamara

    42: Redefining Yourself with Patrice Washington

     Who are you? Are you allowing yourself to be defined by your past, or even by your current situation when you KNOW you were made for more? You are not alone. We all have goals in life, some of us accomplish them while some end up with disappointment. What separates the two? I strongly believe it's HOW we respond to setbacks that determines our ability to bounce back and become who we are truly meant to be.
