There are lots of cliche sayings out there that people throw away as simply cliches, but I don't!

I do believe everything happens for a reason. I also believe that life happens for us, not to us. When we find ourselves dealing with a hardship, it's ok because that hardship is there to teach us a lesson so that we can reach our highest potential.

Recently I've dealt with money woes and I share how I'm leaning into what is happening, how I'm feeling and learning from the situation.

If you're at a crossroads in your life, hesitating to make a decision, or dealing with a hardship then take a listen and learn from my experiences and my story.

Michelle Jewsbury is an international philanthropic, speaker and author that has traveled the world as an advocate for the less fortunate.

Michelle founded Unsilenced Voices, a nonprofit focused on inspiring change in communities around the globe by encouraging victims to break free and survivors to speak up about domestic violence and sexual assault. Her desire to help victims of domestic abuse came from personal experience in such a relationship.  Michelle was with her assailant for three years where she endured physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse.

We talked about her experience with domestic violence, how to help someone who know who is in an abusive relationship, and how she now uses her experience to teach others to overcome obstacles.

Michelle also shares how her faith in something bigger than herself was a driving force in her life. 

Her memoir, But I Love Him, is now available on Amazon. If you would like a free digital download of the introduction of her book, text OBSTACLES to 267-86.

If you have any general questions regarding the mission, goals and accomplishments of Unsilenced Voices, please contact Michelle Jewsbury at [email protected].

With a lot of grit, tenacity and prayer, Veronica Moore, owner and curator of Alma & Eva is actively pursing her passion and purpose and encouraging all women to do the same!!

In 2019 she declared that this would be her year of NO F.E.A.R., which she defines as False Evidence Appearing Real.

She encourages us all to embrace the fear, walk through it. It's ok to be uncomfortable and it's ok to be vulnerable, but we must know that we deserve more and be ready to say "I am enough!"

During our conversation you'll hear how Veronica went from dealing with childhood bullying, seeking validation, to breaking through her self limiting belies and answering God's call!

Sheryl Sandberg wrote the book "Lean In" in 2013 and it's focus is on telling stories, but also providing factual data about women in the workforce.

What does this mean for the working mom?

I believe we need more women leaders in our world to create real and lasting change. I also believe you should never lean in if it doesn't feel right, or simply because you think you should.

In this episode I talk about when you should and shouldn't lean in as a working mom, and that it's ok to lean in, but in a different direction.

Your emotions are your guidance system, and they let you know whether you are moving towards a life that is positive and fulfilling, or one that is negative and burdensome.

We are in control of our emotions. It is not our responsibility to control how others act or behave, but we must take control of how we react to others and situations. This is not to say it's easy to control our emotions, but it is worth the work to do so because being in control of whether you feel happy or sad is life changing.

During this podcast I talk about how I am learning to control my emotions, and how it's positively affecting my life and that of my family.
