In Her Words

Cara Truitt filed for bankruptcy, divorce and then her sister was killed in a car wreck…all in ONE WEEK. That was more than a decade ago.

Since then she’s married a great guy (“my rock”); they’ve had a son and a daughter together, AND she’s launched multiple businesses. It took time. It took grit. It took an amazing community of women which Cara built.

Listen to her testimony of the power of women in community!

You can find Cara Truitt on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook and at her business https://www.artofyouretreats.com

Kim DeRhodes trained for years getting her degree from UNC-CH as a licensed pharmacist when she noticed that no one ever taught her about the exploding world of herbal and vitamin and mineral remedies flooding the counters of health food and drug stores. So she did her own research and soon became the go-to expert at the hospital for doctors and other treating professionals who wanted to know how these “nutritional supplements” interacted with prescription drugs. Kim gives us the good and the bad. Illuminating conversation!

Dr. Andrea DeSantis (no relation to Ron) took a sharp turn to Med School from studying Hotel Management at Penn State.

Now she treats patients, many of them immigrants, quite sick, but without a whole lot of money. She does so with great care and compassion.

I don’t know how she maintains such an unruffled demeanor. Listen to some of her stories!

Marisa Wheeling Ciesluk could have been insulted when her boss called her a “fire starter.” It probably was not meant as a complement.

Now she has taken it as a badge of honor and her unique mission: to stoke the fires of true passion in the hearts of women. But first she had to face and honor and heal her own history of childhood abuse.

A powerful conversation with a steadfast and powerful woman.
