In this emotional interview we talk about surviving rape, physical abuse, verbal abuse, and emotional abuse.  But more importantly, we talk about knowing your worth.

Mandy shares her lowest lows and greatest successes in her life in dealing with these issues.  She is definitely someone to be admired for her strength, courage, and kindness. 

This episode was recorded live so there is a brief Q & A and commentary following the interview.

In this episode we are interviewing a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter, and a woman with a past.  We dig deep into how not dealing with trauma can cause us to make choices in our life that are harmful to us and the people that we love.  We talk about how you are not locked prisoner with your bad decisions, you can overcome them and become something more.

In this episode I talk about overcoming guilt.  Most times as women we take on guilt or blame that doesn't belong to us because we have an underlying issue.  All this does is makes it easier for people who probably aren't great for us to keep hold of us in their lives because they simply know what buttons to push.

But once you work through the underlying issue, that button gets permanently deactivated and you get your sense of self worth and self esteem back.  And then the sky is the limit!  Once that monkey is off your back, you can do any single solitary thing you set your mind to.  But you have to do the hard work first.

Sheer Will is about me, and others like me, sharing our journey with you to give you hope and strength to know it can be different.  It can get better.  You just have to take the steps to make it so.

In this episode we talk about the shame that we all carry over from our past and how it poisons and twists our lives.  

By dealing with your shame and facing your fear over it, you can begin to heal.  Understand and remember that you are exactly who God created you to be.  You are in the exact place he wants to be.  

Shame and fear only feed your depression and feelings of worthlessness and low self esteem.  Let's share our struggles as women and help to lift one another up out of them to be better and do better for one another.

In this episode I talk about my personal experience with grief, loss, depression and how not dealing with any of my other issues all played a part in me having a nervous break down and worse and how I got the strength to rise up out of it.

Not dealing with all of the garbage that I carried around because of the prostitution and drug addiction caused me to have a very low opinion of myself.  As a result, I tended to allow the people who claimed to care about me to treat me very badly.  When you mix that with guilt, grief, loss, and depression it becomes a dangerous combination, especially when you hide  it from the people that love you.

A lot of people think that pasting a smile on their face and saying everything is ok when it isn't is being strong or noble.  It isn't.  I just makes you feel alone.  Everybody needs somebody.  Had I sought out the support of my family, or my friends, I don't think things would have gotten as bad as they did.

But the power of prayer helped raise me out of all of it.  It wasn't easy, and it still isn't all the time, but I get up and show up, and I promise I will never give up, because I know now that I have a purpose and that God isn't done with me yet!

In this episode I am talking about coping with and learning to live with a disability.  Where to find resources, how to advocate for yourself, and how to pull yourself out of that depression and overcome that sense of worthlessness by sharing my personal experience with you. 

You are still breathing in and out so you have not yet fulfilled your purpose in this life.

In this episode, we are going to talk about learning your worth, and understanding how to forgive yourself and love yourself, by owning what you are responsible for and putting the blame and shame that belongs to others at their down.  Climb out of it and move on.
