Welcome back to Fearless, Inspired and Free, a weekly conversation with Dana Wright and the women she has been fortunate to connect with to discuss their life's journey, the great things they are doing, overcoming life's obstacles, navigating their work and personal businesses; becoming Fearless in their actions, Inspired to live authentically and Free to live a life they choose!

Fearless, Inspired and Free Podcast endeavors to build a community of learning, appreciation, encouragement, resilience, growth, acceptance, kindness and support!

This week Dana hosts and it is a solo conversation. After a week of high stress, anger and continued divide in the country, Dana wanted to take a moment of pause to allow for her guests to reflect and work through their grief, anger and feelings of anxiety. She talks about it being ok to be sad, but that ultimately the sadness does not define us. We must make space for grief and all of the feelings that come with it...not resist...but accept and work through it. 

Dana plays a healing and self-comforting clip she found on Instagram that got her through some tough times this past week on a page of a woman named @ElizaBoquin. Please tune into this episode and try this exercise as she plays it during her talk! 

Dana also discusses self-care and it's importance at different stages of life, but most importantly in the present day.

Dana has come to realize that "No" is a real word and she firmly believes it one of the most important words you can learn. Also, a lesson learned and one that has helped her is that what someone thinks of you is none of your business. Finally, she encourages all who are listening to remember that when things get tough, remember to tap into your support system of friends and family...and if not them then a counselor/mental health provider. Saying you need help and then getting that help is the best thing you can do to work towards healing and getting mentally healthy and strong. Ultimately Dana wants you to know you are loved!

This episode ends with a recap of her 5 past guests, Carmen Gercone, Carmen Teague, Tajuana Hill, Vanetta Roy and Nicole Jackson-Hopkins. She gives the community of listeners a few highlights of each episode and the nuggets and lessons each has to offer. Please go back and take a listen to those episodes. And then next week, you won't want to miss Attorney, Shanita Straw of Golden Law. What an amazing story of persistence!

At the episode's conclusion Dana gives the listening community 3 Affirmations to repeat and believe as we all make this journey through life and work to make it the best it can be...full of passion and purpose.
