Invincible Her

Today I speak to Becky Bell Jenkins, a victim of Domestic Violence and a son who was murdered at the hands of her abuser. Full disclosure, this may be a trigger for some so please make an informed decision before listening and if you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Domestic Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

I don't know where to begin, as a mom of two sons herself I found my heart breaking with hers and tears with her own. Becky talks about the tragic shooting of her beloved son, Adam on that night of violence. Its still sometimes a blur of how it happened but from that day she tells us how she was made out to be the shooter and how she NEVER got any help for advocates or anyone concerning her rights as a victim of DV. Its been a year and she is still fighting for those rights.

From her family distancing themselves from her to virtually no support she gets through it one day at a time and she is thriving. She has her bad days as you can imagine but she gets back up and fights for Adams Voice.

She describes Adam as her world, her life, her protector, her SON. Adam saved Becky that night. Its an all too common story of Domestic Abuse. Someone gets hurt or in this case killed. Its an epidemic we need to eradicate and educate everyone on.

Becky's mission now is to help those in need, to be a voice to know there is hope and to fight! Please listen in to the story and if you would like to reach out and be a source of support or need support if you have a similar circumstance, she will be there for you. This woman is a fighter and I just love her and so blessed that she came on the show and was vulnerable to share her story. Her second life is just beginning!

Today I shine the spotlight on LJ, she is the creator of Yoga and Movement for Survivors. LJ's story of healing and thriving begins like so many others,, of abuse, rape and love, yes love. LJ thought this isnt rape if he loves me right? She talks about her journey of abusive men and her travels and sleeping under the stars. It was bliss at first and she was happy. When rape happens we put on this "somehow it was my fault" attitude because we dont understand it. LJ found the strength to reach out to family and escape. Not many women reach out, please know it is NOT your fault and you DO NOT deserve this.

After therapy, LJ started dating again and returned to Yoga and traveled the countryside. As a survivor of sexual assault, the sun was shining brighter than she ever dreamed possible. After the death of her dearest friend she turned to yoga again and fell into it and sobbed and let the universe hold her as she poured herself into it. This is so amazing how Yoga can be calming and theraputic. Yoga for Survivors. Powerful.

LJ created her own hapiness instead of looking for it in others. She learned to love herself, truly and fully. One of the things to remember is its ok to cry and be vulnerable and pour your energy into healing yourself, whatever that looks like for you. Roll out your yoga mat and lets get started with LJ.

Love is possible. Trust your intuition and lean into its power.

Listen up, we have an epidemic of Domestic/Sexual abuse that we need to keep fighting. Speak up, tell your story, fight and lets get educated.

If you or some one you know needs help in a situation, please call the DV hotline at 800-799-7233. You can also reach out to OneLove via text. type "lovevis" to 22522 and you will recieve an immediate response from an advocate who will help you.

Good day beauties! Today I speak to Sue, the owner of Essential Oil Magic, Sue is an empowered woman who discusses integrated healthcare and her health journey over the past 14 years and dealing with tons of emotional and mental trauma to go along with all the physical issues she had relating to her cancer recovery.

We talk about the most important bilogical system our bodies have "The Endocannabinoid system" , its found in every cell in our bodies and its a regulator to keep all our systems in check. There are so many things we can create within our selves if this is out of whack. Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Parkins, Fibromyalgia, just to name a few. Sue talks about how healing takes time and patience and how the PURE Essential oils can help and has helped her and thousands of others. This is not the typical oils you find in your local stores, these are pure and are meant to be used in certain ways and certain conditions of your body. Please don't just go out and buy an oil without knowing the facts. Your body created its own Cannabinoids, similar to those found in cannabis and are naturally occuring cannabinoids bind to the cannabinoid receptors within your bran and body. There is an increasing amount of research linking a number of illnesses and symptoms to low endocannabinoid levels as stated earlier. Essential oils can help rebalance your system

Sue is very knowledgeable and praises essential oils for helping her recover and continued recovery. The results are amazing and she can tell you all about how you can heal your body. If you want to talk to Sue about Essential oils to help you or a loved one, please reach out and you can also read about your cannaninoid system here

Welcome in ya'll! Today I have the absolute pleasure of speaking to Kacy! She is a cattle rancher in SE Wyoming and an advocate/speaker for the beef industry. Her familys ranch has been there since the 1880s, raising livestock.

She is a badass woman in what has mostly been a male dominated industry. Kacy talks passionately about life on the ranch and how she believes we should all get on the same boat in this industry that has become fragmented. Her knowledge and passion extends to current cattle producers but she also relays accurate information about the beef industry to the general public and beef consumers.

At the end of the day we all want the same thing, to raise our kids, live the way of life we love, live off the land and take care of our animals. To see what we have built for generations to come.

Cattle Ranching is hard work and I don't pretend i know a thing, this California girl knows nothing about raising no cattle! Kacy sat down with me just after birthing a calf! She is real, with manure in her hair and she looked beautiful. We talk about how we should all come together at one table and move forward with one voice, make the system better if you think its not working.

I love how passionate she is about the current and future state of cattle ranching. Kacy does speaking engagements for all types of audiences young and old, those who raise beef or just enjoy eating it. She is National award recipient for beef advocacy radio program. See her website www.kaceyatkinson.com to listen!

Follow Kacy on Instagram for some cute baby calf photos and life on the ranch. If you want to know more about the beef industry, please reach out to her as well at her website!

Thank you SOO much for listening and thank you Kacy for taking the time in between birthing calves to join me. I hope to get to Wyoming and get down and in the muck. Love you so much girl.

Hi Beauties! In today's episode I talk to Andrea, Andrea is an Orgasm coach, sexual trauma and grief specialist. In today's show we talk about how orgasm coaching helps us in our feminine bodies to be less in your head and be alive. Andrea puts it best when she says My BIG-O is mine, my body is mine, my sexuality is mine, My life is mine, my choices are mine. Yes Girl! We all need to be less in our heads about our sexuality, when we are in our heads your body is not functioning as it should be. We discuss connecting to your feminine body, awakening senses and relaxing and letting it all flow together. You will feel alive. Andrea has this calming voice and we did a 2 min meditation with me and I tell you ladies, it took me to a place that brought tears to my eyes in a good way. I felt it. If you want to change and be reborn in your sexual energies I highly recommend reaching out to Andrea!

Lets choose a more beautiful joyful life. Her enthusiasm for life and for healing is amazing. She is healing herself and others especially after sexual abuse when we can be so traumatized that we cant orgasm or we feel shame. Lets heal and explore and awaken your sexuality and the waves of pleasures in your body! Lets talk about this, lets put it out there, lets heal and be our best selves for us! Our feminine bodies need healing and to flow together and be joyful.

We talked about how she can help you online and in person to awaken your senses and increase your body's sensitivity. I love this topic so much because no one wants to talk about it. Discuss ladies! Lets do this! She is amazing.

In todays episode I speak to Angela! She is a Breakthrough Coach to empower women to strive for their best lives no matter what they have been through, breaks through the traumas of their past. I love hearing Angela talk about how she is healing her own past and in the process helping other women who have been through abuse, sexual or otherwise. We talk about memory triggers and how those triggers can cripple your healing if you dont give yourself the space to commit to whats coming in your memories to heal. You stop trusting yourself and stop seeing the red flags and then the triggers come in, she will teach you how to handle the triggers and heal. This is a de-layering process and will take time. Be patient and kind with yourself.

Angela shares with us her three things she says a survivor needs to heal. 1, Healing is a hourney, not a destination, a life long process. Patience. 2. Just because your healing doesnt mean you are not going to have bad days, that is BS that you won't. 3. You are allowed to claim yourself as healed "right now"

Ladies, be aware of what is going on and talk about your fear and vulnerability with others. Connection with others grows and empowers us, We are taught that our trauma is our shame and shame puts us in a situation to not talk about it and keep it a secret and shame tells us this lie, we are not alone. Dont quit before the breakthrough begins!

Angela creates a safe space to speak and heal to move forward.

"Your unhealed wounds will lead you to believe that you need to do or be something else to be loveable and worthy, as you heal you will discover this was a lie that held you back from truly loving yourself"

Thank you SOOO much Angela for coming on and talking to us about your amazing journey and how you are inspiring, healing and empowering others!

In this episode I speak to the vibrant and beautiful Anne Bonney. She is a motivational speaker, fellow podcaster, author and BBQ enthusiast! Uh, Sweet Baby Rays! Sponsor?? lol

This enthusiastic redhead shares with us business lessons from crazy life experiences and hilarious stories of growing up overseas, running international marathons, animal training, building morale, volunteering at elephant sanctuaries and even singing opera! There is SO much more, she is my spirit animal!

Anne and I had soo much fun on this show, she loves to empower women just as much as I do. From her speaking retreats to her non profit work with the Warm Hearts foundation and her Passion to Share foundation Anne is such a powerful inspiring woman. Not to mention her love of BBQ sauces!

Let's get uncomfortable! Anne will show you how to get out of that comfort zone and keep moving forward on to bigger and better things! Anne has been working different jobs and exploring her world and been blessed with some really amazing people along the way that propelled her on her path of empowering women. I love Anne's enthusiasm and laughter at herself and life. If you cant laugh at yourself...:)

This was not her dream job as a little girl, she was going to be a broadway star! LOL See how life can change? No matter what age or comfort zone you are currently stuck in.

Positive human culture is what she realized was needed after being in a toxic or negative environment in the work force, so she decided she had to pursue this path in her life and to help others to see the positivity and optimism in life.

From Womens networking groups to Corporations to get better results in their lives/careers, Anne has a plan to do retreats, both virtual and hopefully in person when everything clears up in the world. To walk away with action plans to implement in their workplace is the focus of the retreats. OMG she has soo many plans for these, mindset, fitness, building courage, etc. Whew, I love it! Early messaging of women thinking is that we get in our own way. She will help you figure out how to get to that point to speak up and build that courage! Let's dive in! Lets be honest, open, vulnerable and support each other.

Anne's weekly podcast ignites your courage to embrace discomforts of life and gets the best from yourself and others. Igniting Courage.

Check out her book, "Get Over It", tips for embracing the discomfort of change. Change is hard for crying out loud!

I love all her adventures and how confident and empowering Anne is. You can find Anne here:

In today's show I speak to Jessica. Jessica is a creator, healer and lover of nature! Plus we had some fun today talking about the truths of getting older. Ya'll can relate I am sure! Along with the humor, we talk about focusing on her business of transforming lives by assisting others to know and understand their full potential through identity work, visualization, affirmations, breath-work to find who they are capable of being.

We laugh about shoving food into our pie hole and not realizing it once COVID hit and we were sitting at home mindlessly eating. How to change and commit to a mindset of keeping your routine. Giving back and service to others will always give back to you in a rewarding way and keep you humble. Don't wait until COVID is over, its like waiting til Monday, start now! We talk about accountability, even if you have to be your own accountability partner.

Jessica is the owner of Next Level Coaching where she provides individual and group coaching; personal fitness and nutritional coaching. Jessica always knew she was meant to heal, doors opened and life happened to propel her into her journey. She came out on the other side of all her experiences to follow this life, and allows her to relate to others.

Take a moment to look into your mirror, into those beautiful eyes and speak to your soul. Speak about how amazing you are...believe it because its true.

In today's episode we talk to Kitty, a Life Coach specializing in Trauma and PTSD, Kitty's journey of addiction, her son's brush with death and her own brush with death in the 2015 Nepal earthquake, surviving this relationship and the loss of her brother brings her to where she is today. Kitty talks about living with a "covert" Narcissist for 12 years. A Wolf in Sheep's clothing and the dangers of intimate relationships with these covert narcs. Her story is not uncommon, as young girls we become co dependent and want to people please and not say no just to keep the peace or be loved. This, along with other traumas in life causes the trauma bond and continues into our adult relationships looking for that love, for that peace we want, so we don't see the red flags, sometimes til its too late. She thought he seemed like a better than average human, but he had a double life, if not a TRIPLE life. She was devastated. Unlike Overt Narcs, Covert is silence, its the "implied" words and yes its also love bombing, but its subtle and usually no anger, but neglect. Kitty talks about how she had that "gut feeling" something was off, but she couldn't prove anything because he was so good at hiding it and making her believe it was all in her head. He agreed to couples counseling, which is unusual for narcs, but he made her seem crazy in counseling as well. Typical narcissistic behavior, he was the good guy and never did anything wrong, but then again he convinced her of his love. Kitty talks about how we need to heal our co dependency and our self depricating love so we can cultivate good relationships. She will work with you on creating boundaries. Do you attract selfish manipulative people? Do you feel like you often say yes when you really mean no? www.coachkat.org Thank you Kitty for coming on and telling your incredible journey and how you are helping others cope and thrive! You are truly an Empowered Woman.

Today's episode I talk to Bilinda Blume. Bilinda is a certified NAP/NLP Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience. She specializes in stress/anxiety management and relationships. Biliinda and I have a kindered spirit! I loved our chat! Her passion to help people is driven by her own journey. Bilinda was clinically diagnosed with PTSD from early childhood trauma. She searched to find the answers to how to live with PTSD which meant living with crippling anxiety. Through countless therapy sessions, self-help books, and workshops Bilinda found out that she didn't want to live with PTSD, she wanted to overcome it. She learned through the years how to not only survive but to thrive. Like most people Bilinda grew up in a dysfunctional home with no idea what a healthy relationship looked like. She felt like she was destined to be with a man that could never understand her. She wanted to be heard, feel safe and know that she was loved. Through her journey Bilinda found that healing the relationship with herself created the unimaginable 14 year relationship she is in with her spouse today. What took Bilinda years to achieve she now offers to her clients in the proven step by step programs such as; "Stop The Anxiety" and "Relationships B.L.U.M.E." Bilinda traveled, trained, and learned from our top transformational thought leaders, such as; Tony Robbins, Oprah Winfrey, Joseph McClendon the third, Lisa Lieberman-Wang, Allison Armstrong, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Willard Barth and more. Growth and contribution are Bilinda's top values. Learning and providing for others' the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to solve life's challenges is her never-ending quest.
