Guest Bio:

My name is Whitney Lyn Allen, and I am a defense attorney, currently putting my legal career on pause to work on publishing my first book, a memoir titled, “Running in Trauma Stilettos.” The memoir is about my experience with trauma and grief after my husband, Ryan, sustained an anoxic brain injury last October from an allergic reaction to a bee sting, which led to our family’s decision to bring him home on hospice. He died on April 7, 2022 at the age of 35, survived by me and our two young sons, Jackson (age 4) and Leo (7 months, who was born 3 months after Ryan’s accident).

My memoir is an unapologetic glimpse into the world of grief and trauma as I lived it for 6 arduous months, navigating my late husband’s potential recovery, and then hospice when we knew he would not recover, and finally his death and the aftermath. I want others going through similar hardships to feel seen. It is also a way to give others who have not experienced profound grief or trauma, a way to understand what it is actually like, and to better serve and show up for others who are going through the worst days of their lives.

My goal is to inspire others to live their best lives in the aftermath of tragedy and seemingly impossible circumstances. By sharing my story and the skills I have learned through my experiences, I hope to teach others how to transform themselves for the better and thrive in and through grief, and cultivate their own hero's story.

Today you’re going to discover your “elemental” self! Tisha Morris, Author, Lawyer, and Feng Shui Master is helping us figure out our missing element…. Which could be our hidden strength... As we dive into the tao of creativity. All five Chinese elements are contained within our energy system and we each embody a primary element, which defines our natural strengths….and a weak or missing element, which reflects our untapped potential.

When you embrace your missing element―water, wood, fire, earth, or metal―you can pull yourself out of a rut and bring more harmony and success into your life and work. Which element are you operating in primarily? Which one may be missing? Let’s find out today!

Today we go digging deeper for the seeds of racism systemically and individually. We are not only looking at the seeds…. but the soil. Is FEAR at the heart of racism? Dr. Rita Fierro, author and racial healing consultant, offers a window into what collective healing would look like. Can we look at our role in white supremacy on even the smallest level and see our part? I think we can.

Guest Bio:

Growing up in the streets of San Diego, Samira grew up in a culture of stress, violence, and gang warfare. It was normalized, to be part of a gang and it cycled through generations of people who would be born into that way of living. “There were only two outcomes if you stay in that lifestyle – death or prison. At 18, she left home with her baby because she felt she was not getting the love she needed from her family.

It would be a tough few year, being homeless and sleeping on a different couch every few days. She would sometimes use her welfare check to pay for a hotel room for herself and her young daughter. When she became incarcerated for robbery, she felt she hit rock bottom. In jail, she struggled to find answers and turned to Jesus the bible and prayers to help her find her way.

After being in jail for 3 months awaiting her prison sentence, she felt her prayers had been answered when the judge decided to set her free after facing a 5-year prison sentence for a robbery. Seeing this as a chance to change, she gathered her courage and moved herself across the country away from family and gangs.

In 2017, she started her own apparel brand called Stay Encouraged LLC, which is an inspirational line of clothing to encourage people to never give up under any circumstances. One year later she became an Evangelist with a mandate to encourage, inspire and equip the lives of others. She was then led to take a life-altering trip to South Africa where she worked as a missionary.

Currently, Samira serves as the head over the Prison Ministry for the church she attends, World Harvest Church in Roswell, Georgia, she is also an Ordained Chaplain. She has been charged by God to set captives free, and she does this by going to different prison facilities throughout the state of Georgia. She is passionate about helping mentor women, as well as working with both men and women who are incarcerated.

Her ministry not only reaches those currently serving time behind bars, but also equips women who desire to be released from the lies of satan. She has poured her heart and soul into her calling, and has the determination to fight for lost souls. Her calling is to show each person she works alongside how to rise up as warriors in Christ and to live an undefeated life through practical biblical strategies. As a speaker for various events nationally and internationally, Samira is powerfully moving her generation to become Champions for Christ in Jesus Name. Samira encourages others to stand on the powerful understanding that “When God is all you have. God is all you need”. Luke 10:19- Behold. I have given you the authority to trample on serpents, and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Remember. Stay Encouraged!

Dr. Tarryn McCarthy is encouraging us to drop that the superwoman moniker and choose happiness FIRST. We talk about the societal rewards and pressure for women to “do it all” and what the outcome of that looks like in reality. She also tells us why her transgender daughter is her biggest hero and why she chooses happiness FIRST.
