"You can't get beyond what you believe." - Shon Gables

The greater the obstacles, the greater the glory in overcoming them. Her social media presence is so dynamic, her energy is contagious, she is a realist, a health and fitness enthusiast, an encourager and a story-teller, meet Shon Gables. 

Her nickname growing up was "Deformity" and that was within her family.  Listen to how a cotton-picking girl from Oklahoma found the courage within herself to become the first high school graduate in her lineage, an MBA graduate, an Emmy nominated journalist and the main News Anchor on CBS46 in Atlanta. 

This episode is for everyone! Shon talks about several valleys and her wins along her way to the current view and her big goals for the future. There is a BIG GOD within her and she cannot and will not fail!
What's her secret? Well, tune in and pay close attention - Shon tells it all!

 ‘Back to School’ is really looking and feeling so weird this year. There's so much talk on eLearning vs. In-person learning.

We are absolutely honored to be mentors of amazing, talented and brilliant teenager girls whom we gladly call, "ImageGirls". In this special "short" episode, we asked a few of our girls to write open letters to their future 30 year old selves. We were so inspired and moved to tears as we heard them read and speak candidly from their precious hearts. 

Please join us for 8 minutes and 46 seconds as you hear from our ImageGirls.

So much LOVE...
ImageChics (Linda & Andrea)

In this special episode, Andrea and Linda sat down with a group of their friends; mom's of different hues, to discuss racism in this world.  These moms discuss from their personal perspectives. Join them on this uncomfortable but much needed emotional conversation as they all come together.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."  We can no longer be silent about this.  

"What if normal isn't something to get back to? What if normal is something to look forward to?"  - Steven Furtick

In this Episode, Linda and Andrea talk about..

• What is normal? Or is there such a thing as normal?
• The "new normal."
• Going back vs Looking forward.
• To mask or not to mask?
• More kindness, more LOVE and less judgement. 

We also quote the article from David Fleet, "We are all in the same boat, but not the same storm."
