            Stephanie Josiah is the voice of many who may feel they  are alone and/or  identify being raised to shy away from "airing out dirty laundry." Stephanie has identified it being the very reason, a cap has been put over hurts and traumas that might have otherwise healed. Stephanie demonstrates in her work that wounds require cleaning,  air, and light.

            Stephanie has experienced family trauma and even the seeming dead end of losing a child. She writes about her traumas for healing and, in doing so, she hopes to help heal others.  Stephanie has been a self-published author and public speaker since 2011 and a frequent spoken word artist at local churches and events. Stephanie's books will make you laugh, cry, have you ask the hard questions, find comfort in the midst of loss and heartache, find humor in the sadness, and break free of negative self-talk.

            Check out Stephanie on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Her books are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and LuLu.  

            Stephanie shouted out fellow author: Yvonne Marie M.Ed. author of Kill The Busy Save the Bee.

              In this week's episode we  discuss dealing with difficult people in the workplace. It's not always your boss or superior who strikes a nerve! It can sometimes be a colleague who you have to learn to deal with despite their negative stance or hostile attitude they parade around the workplace. The good thing is we are here to add some tools to your toolbox and explore what can help in these trying and difficult situations!


              Scripture Quoted: For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” – 2 Timothy 1:7


              The seminar that I reference that I attended was presented by the National Seminars Training and was titled "How to Handle Difficult People
