What was the point in your life where you knew and did the work to heal with your past? Divorce, etc?

The Sexual assault took a toll on my life. I became hypersensitive to my surroundings, completely withdrawn, and entered into a deep hole of depression. When my best friend recognized a major shift in my behavior and approached me about it, I knew that it was time for me to make a decision." Would I allow my experience to define me or would I use it to as a source of empowerment?"

Marriage is great but it doesn't make a bad relationship better.  Many women daily are in relationships that include cheating, disrespect, abuse (mentally, emotionally, and physically).  However; the moment the question, "Will You Marry Me?", is asked, quickly the answer is Yes.  Women in this position need to know that marriage is not the answer. The answers she is looking for marriage to solve are found within her and not anyone else.

 Have you ever stopped to realize you are experiencing the same reaction to the same thing over and over again?  Have you figured out why? In order to stop repeating cycles, you must get to the root of why it is happening.  It's empowering to understand you have the power to stop the cycle, but you must first get to the core of it.  It's time to take your voice back.

Highlights:

4:37     What is that thing that you continue to face with different people

5:47     The little girl that I was back then, was stuck back there

6:04     Yes those words... they show up in your mirror

 In this solo episode I decided to talk about a passage I read in my book, In Search of Me: A Journey To Self Love, Self Worth & Purpose.  Low self-esteem is a wound internally.  Low self-esteem, like all negative emotions and mindsets, is a symptom. These negative emotions need your attention.   You can no longer run these wounds because they show up in your attitude, perception, understanding & relationships.  It's time to deal with the internal so you can live your best, authentic self in your life.  You are the only one who can start and do the work.  It's in your hands.

Notes From Episode

:17    Low Self Esteem is a wound

4:17   Hurt people hurt people because that's all they know how to do

9:07   I gave myself permission to keep doing the work

9:23   While you're denying the wounds you carry, you are wounding other people

10:21  When you deal with that stuff, you show up differently

 In this solo episode, I'm sharing how your mindset impacts your life. In order to change your beliefs, you must check your thoughts.  I have found that my life failures and decisions have been based on the thoughts that were filled with pain.  Those choices would continue until I decided to challenge my thought process.

Points From This Episode:

2:17     Have you ever questioned where did those thoughts come from

3:01     Sometimes we become a victim in our own lives because  we haven't challenged our thoughts

10:23   Your sub-conscious hold memories

Join in as I host a domestic violence awareness panel discussion. We will share our experiences, highlight red flags, power and control through casual conversation.

3 women from different backgrounds sharing their experiences. Domestic Violence happens daily to men and women.  During this panel, we focused on women.  This abuse has many layers. Many believe if they aren't being hit, they aren't being abused.  During our time together, we spoke of physical, mental, emotional, and narcissism connected to each layer.

You are not alone. Women and teenagers daily face life in fear of their abuser.  We are continuing the conversations so you know you don't have to stay and you can get through this.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to Mrs. Tonia Lewis.  Tonia says she is a "small-town country girl from Selma, Al, a mother of 5 who understands the struggles of overcoming obstacles by exercising my faith. I am motivated, resilient, and humbly grateful."

Tonia's life took a huge shift when her brother passed away.  She was married for a really long time and dealt with domestic violence. Her brother's passing gave her the courage to walk away from the marriage and begin to do the work to face and heal her past.  She shares with us the journey that allowed her to discover who she is and gain her voice.  She is an author and business owner.  Her story is powerful.

Tonia's Responses?

How was not healing your heart showing up in your personal life/business/relationships?

In my relationship, personal life, and business I was allowing the same type of toxic behavior characteristics from others to consume me mentally. Things I allowed I had the choice to mot allow

How has your life changed by dealing with the hurt and releasing it?

I’m more focused on my spiritual, mental, and personal well-being now. I’m focused on my self-care and not consume with how others feel about how I feel. I decided to take back my power and save me from me.

During our conversation, Tonia talks about:

3:37     I actually have a voice now

4:54     I felt like I was obligated to put everybody before me

8:51     I had to save me from me

29:41   God said, "Tonia when you were about to lose your mind, I was already there."
