I am Thru the Roof EXCITED to be speaking with my this weeks guest on Empowered Conversations, Jonathan Powell!!!

Jonathan is from Indianapolis, IN. He currently does resale jobs for his landlord and sidewalk chalk advertisements. 

Battling homelessness for 10 years, Jonathan was often disregarded and treated as if getting himself out of homelessness was as simple as the snap of a finger! He was often approached by “unaware” people who would say to him, “Why don’t you just get a job?!” 

On Wednesday, Jonathan will share the fact that getting oneself out of homelessness is not such a simple task; it is a complex issue that requires education and better solutions.

Jonathan is fed up with most of the current outreach programs he has experienced in IN and wants to start his own outreach team to educate people how to survive and live on the streets, as well as educate, “regular” people about the challenges homeless people face day to day. Jonathan wants to break the stereo type that all homeless people are on drugs or are too lazy to work! Jonathan says, “that’s ridiculous!!” 

“If I don’t teach people about the problems, then we cannot create solutions.”

I myself have experience with helping the homeless; I am part of the organization, Atheist Helping the Homeless. We gather the 1st Saturday or Sunday of every month to distribute, toiletries, clothing and other items that most take for granted. We are NEVER there to proselytize, only help! I will share my own personal experience engaging and talking with many of them. Jonathan is 100% RIGHT, it is not laziness or a drug problem that has placed so many of them in the situation of being without a home to live in or possessing the basic human necessities needed in order to have comfort! In my experience it is the exact opposite, they are so gracious and giving and never greedy or lazy and ALSO go out of their way to look out for one other! 

So join us tomorrow LIVE at 1:00 pm EST, this will surely be another EPIC Empowered Conversation, you won't wanna miss!!!!!

I am Positively Glee Ridden to be speaking with my this weeks guest on Empowered Conversations, Holly Brenneise McNeill!!!!

By age 34, the perfect world Holly McNeill thought she had built for herself, to hide her perceived flaws and defects, imploded!

At that lowest point of her unhappy, anxiety-filled, self-absorbed life, she PROMISED to do better and spent the next twenty years making good on that vow. Her search took her across the country and from coast to coast. She read books, listened to teachings, attended retreats, and followed her newfound intuition. For six years, Holly practiced Buddhism, in part living in a Dharma house in San Francisco. Her quest would create the P.E.R.L.O.V.E. Formula. 

Today, using this effective and friendly set of mindfulness and meditation practices, she is teaching others to find their power and personal freedom.

So Woot FaRekin WOOT, take a listen to this episode as it will SURELY be another Epic Empowered Conversation you won't wanna miss!!!!!!

On this episode of EC, I share what all I have been up to and brought forth the past few months, including OFFICIALLY starting my private chef & catering business, as well as I share persevering through my, “dark night of the soul” journey!! 

I go into detail about what, “dark night of the soul” actually means, NO, I was not suicidal! 

If many of you remember,  several months ago, I went to the beach specifically intending, thru a micro-dose of psilocybin, to experience epiphanies and release ANYthing blocking me or no longer serving me and potentially inhibiting me from further fulfilling and embodying my purpose… but with no luck! 

My “higher self” (this is what I believe!) said, “NOPE, that ain’t how we gon do this Stephanie! In order to fully release and heal the baggage you’ve brought into this lifetime, you’re going to go on a roller coaster ride of scary, confused and gut wrenching emotions; THAT will bring about these epiphanic revelations you are seeking, hence heal and releeeeeease!” 

Annnnnnd that’s what I did! 

It sucked, but was worth it!

Often times our “intentions” surface in unexpected ways, ways that are painful, but in order to get through it, and to the other side of where you belong, and are WORTHY of being, it can be a painful process! Intentionally asking for (this) was the catalyst! 

Be intentional! If you’re going through a difficult time, ask questions, ask questions, and keep asking questions… answers will eventually be revealed!

If you keep attracting the same bullshit  situation or situations into your life, ask questions, ask questions, and keep asking questions… answers will eventually be revealed!

This is my story and I’m stickin to it!
