Do you ever feel like you're too good at what you do to enlist the help of others? In this episode, we're talking about why going it alone never works, and being independent is way overrated.

When we think of speaking up on behalf of women so often there is a fear associated with how it might impact our lives. Did you know that 90% of people will only ever be a bystander to some sort of impropriety? This means that we need to examine our role and the complicity when we find out a woman has been abused physically, emotionally, or spiritually. The big question is how do we ensure the safety and equity of women in the workplace and in places of worship? Today on the podcast I am chattin...

There comes a point in our lives when speaking up is not only important but absolutely necessary to thrive.

On the podcast, I share about the 5 times I wish that I had spoken up sooner and the lessons I've learned along the way. With a little bit of encouragement -...

Of all the obstacles that stand in our way of living our true purpose and becoming the people we were created to be the fear of not being right or not being perfect makes us feel the most vulnerable. Vulnerability is not something that we aim for in our current culture which is why we spend so much time trying to make sure every decision we make is the right one and that what we choose to do with our lives is well planned out. Unfortunately, we do not have a crystal ball to see into the future w...
