Jen here, sharing all my stuff, some thunder (not my creation), and tons of fun background doggy noises (aka boofs and tromps). I'm trying so very hard to usher in positive change and growth; Part of this journey, my personal journey, is to reclaim my body's heath and finally learn how to love me. Like REALLY love me... and totally enjoy this body I'm in.
It's. A. Process.

Tell us about who you are: First and foremost, I am a Christian. My relationship with Christ defines every aspect of who I am. I am a mother, a grandmother of 3 girls, I have an incredible grandson-in-love, and I will soon be a great grandmother! I mention these things because they are the core of who I am and a big part of my daily thoughts.
The Expanded answer: I am compassionate. My passion runs deep for other women who struggle through the rocky roads of life. Having grown up surrounded by a family with mental illness, I learned at an early age to persevere which developed the survivor in me. My mother grew up as 1 of 8 children (5 girls, 3 boys) and all but 1 of the girls had mental illnesses including my mother; so the mental illness thread runs deep playing a significant role in discovering who I am! My past brings out a level of understanding and a caution of not judging people. We don’t know what others have been through to make them who they are. This is not to say I get it right all the time!!! I spent 20 + years in therapy attempting to figure out who I am and what was wrong with me!!!

Name: Desireé B Stephens Age: 41 Occupation: Whole Life Coach/Spiritual Guidance Counselor Tell us about who you are: I’m a world changer, a starseed and aged oracle here to bring us to the next dimension of universal shift through radical self-love and acceptance What does it mean to you to be strong? That’s so loaded but for me it’s set in pride from my dual ancestral lineage. I come from a long line of resilient, courageous warriors on both sides and that for me equals strength. Facing the seemingly impossible and transmuting that into your own creation
