"From Second Best to God's Choice"

Guest: TaJuan Stout Mitchell

What happens when childhood insecurities and always feeling like second best transform into a lifelong mission to uplift others? TaJuan Stout Mitchell knows this journey well. Growing up with deep self-doubt, she could have let those feelings define her—but instead, she turned them into fuel for change.

With 40 years of public service and a passion for advocating for the disadvantaged, TaJuan has spent her life fighting for justice, inclusion, and the empowerment of those often overlooked. In this episode, she opens up about how her personal struggles shaped her purpose, why social impact work is deeply personal, and how anyone—no matter their past—can step into a role that transforms lives and communities.

If you're a changemaker, a mother raising the next generation of leaders, or someone overcoming self-doubt to walk boldly in your calling, this conversation will inspire you to see your past as preparation, not limitation.
