Full episode available now at shesaboutbusiness.com Season 6, Episode 1 – “The Grief We Carry” Healing isn’t always light and joy. Sometimes it’s grief—deep, buried, and heavy. This episode unpacks the silent sorrow we carry when we grow, release, and awaken… and why it’s all still worth it. Listen now and begin your own awakening. #TheAwakening #HealingJourney #GriefAndGrowth #ShesAboutBusiness #TheHealingScribe #PodcastForTheSoul

Love is a choice. Hate is a choice. Bad behaviors and attitudes are a choice and many people today are making the choice to act out in negative ways just because they can. Some would argue that people who do these things have trauma, issues, past hurts... maybe that's true, but we all have those things. Yet, some of us choose love instead. There are so many ways to show love to others and I believe that if more people chose love, the world would be such a better place.  So much of where we are in the world and as humans is due to a lack of a willingness, or a know-how to love. As with anything else that we need in life, praying for what we need is a part of the solution. If you are struggling to feel loved, remember that God loves you. If you are struggling to love others, remember how God loves you. If you are struggling to love the world because of all of it's negativity, remember how God loves you. To help you and me to remember that no material possessions or worldly gains can go with us into eternity, but that love lasts forever... here is a prayer for love. I pray it touches your heart and allows you to feel how much you are loved! Please listen to this episode and be impacted and inspired!

It's a new Year and I know we are feeling like we are ready for fresh starts, but wait before you set that resolution or goal. If you're feeling like "finding yourself," is at the top of your list this year, I'd like to make a nother suggestion. I'd like to suggest that you don't need to find yourself because you were never lost! We were all meant to become someone very specific and amazingly great in our own unique way. Unfortunately, none of us are ever fully protected from the grueling fact that the world, full of hurt people who hurt other people, had other plans.  The good news is that we can truly return to who we were meant to be! It's not easy, and their is always opposition, but you can do it! Listen to this episode, be impacted and inspired!

I grew up in a time where telling somone to "shut up," versing asking them to be quiet was considered cursing them out! It was guaranteed to get you either a fight or a spanking. So, I learned early on not to tell people to shut up! But... the people we're discussing on this episode - well, there's really no better way to address them! They are a threat to our purpose, to our destiny and should be treated in the way a warrior treats all threats! Period! Find out who they are! Listen to this episode, learn, and be inspired!

Listen, anything that I do I want to succeed at! But what I've discovered is that anything that I'm purposed to do, I cannot fail at... so, it's wiser to seek purpose over success. I believe there's a very good reason why God wants us to seek purpose as our primary goal and allow all the blessings of doing so to flow to us from there.

The pandemic has taken a toll on many and YOLO has come back with a vengeance as a leading mindset to help people cope. The only problem is that YOLO is not the full truth! I'd even say it is a lie and can lead to tragedy!

Ok black people, Derek Chauvin is guilty! I believe he is guilty as well so it's ok that we feel like we've finally gotten some justice. But, now what??? Is that enough for us? Or, should we start looking at self...individually and as a whole culture and decide what we can do to HEAL, HELP, & LOVE ourselves and each other! We say we no longer want or need masters. Now would be a great time to start acting like it because it often seems that good ole Willie Lynch is still working his evil magic on us and we allow it to be. If I'm wrong, let's prove it.

Listen!! I get it, I know I've been talking about healing ALOT! But, the reason is because IT'S TIME! 2021 has to be a time for healing, because if not, we will not be able to survive what's coming! My calling in life is to help others heal, live, and be about the business of stepping into their very best lives... their very best versions of self. Likewise, my guest today is a survivor, and a healer of self and others.

Being Genuine ain't easy! You will be persecuted for it because it's not what the world is used to. But, in order to be your iconic self, your best you, the very best version of you, and who you were created to be, you must become okay with being persecuted. It's a difficult, lonely walk that makes you want to isolate, stay to yourself, and keep all your gifts for the world to yourself... but you can't. You must NOT allow your music to die inside of you simply because others can't handle it! You will overcome the pain because a part of being genuine is being strong enough to handle persecution!

Many seek to create generational wealth but few work for, invest in, or pursue generational health! There are people walking around with pockets, and bank accounts full of money who are generationally unhealthy and who are creating generationally unhealthy, though wealthy, children. For many, as long as they have money, they don't care about their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. I believe generational health and wealth go hand and hand and I choose not to pursue one and not the other! What about you? Listen in, learn, and be inspired!

There is a problem with The Process Of Being Called to Be Great! For many, it stops them from attempting the process even though they've been called. This is called "the free will" of man as given to us by God. We can choose to be great or...not. Many are called, but few answer the call because they are afraid of the big problem that comes with the process! But... that doesn't have to be you and !! Listen in, learn, and be inspired!

Are you capable of Being a Follower Who’s Willing to Lead…and a Leader Who ‘s Willing to Follow. Often, the best leaders are those who are able and willing to navigate back and forth between the leader and follower role with grace and humbleness. But, not many are able to do this... well, because many lack grace and humbleness : ) If you're reading this, I don't believe that's you! Listen in, learn, and be inspired!

Listen, I get it... the "Speak Your Truth," Movement has given people all over the world, what they feel like is the voice they've never had. I am all for that, but I also recognize that many of them, after they speak their truth have a difficult time living it. Why is that? Our world has become very much okay with us speaking our truth, but very few are okay with the people around them livning their truth. We have to learn to stop being afraid of living our truth because if not we will end up becoming the cowards who watch from the shadows as others attempt, fail at, and succeed at living theirs! You never want to end up being the "cowards who rejoice when heros stumble," as my man Dave Chappelle put it. These cowards choose to be cowards because they are not courageous enough to do what the hero attempts. I want to share with you how you can be courageous enough to live your truth! It's the only way you'll find your purpose and live iconically! Listen in, learn, and be inspired!

People are always searching for something outside of themselves. They want to connect with influential people who can help them get to the next level. In doing so, they often set themselves up to be used, hurt and abused. They don't see that they are the person they need! On the other hand, you have those who are aware that they are influential and they abuse others or only associate or connect with them when they assess their value as being worthy of such associations or connections. This means that they often leave very gifted, kind, and genuine people on the cutting room floor so to speak, which in turn can break their spirits and leave them discouraged.

When we were younger, we were most likely warned by the adults in our lives to be careful of whom we choose to spend our time with. They said this in reference to the way others would judge us in accordance to our friends, in addition to the influence our friends would have upon us. We have all heard the saying that birds of a feather flock together... this message was drilled into me by a 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Anderson. She meant that the fundamental life lesson that the company you keep reflects your personality would affect the outcomes of my life. It's a fact that a smart person surrounds himself with other smart people. It's also a fact that if you hang out with trash, you will be perceived as trash. It's time for you to count the cost of your connections! Ask yourself..."Who ya wit?" Figure out, who are you the sum of? Listen in, learn, and be inspired!

Listen, there are some people who will allow you to sacrifice your all for them...even your purpose. Some people do this unintentionally, because their only intention truly is to use you, control you, manipulate you, etc... but if you are unwise enough to allow this to break you, depress you, and ultimately pull you away from your purpose, they won't stop you either.

We all travel our paths at different speeds and from various directions. Our journeys come with unique twists and turns designed to teach us what we need for our particular purpose. For one, the eureka moment can come early, and for another later than they would like...but I like to believe that it's not when we awake that matters, but what we do once we're awake that makes all the difference. Realizing that faith and fear cannot exist in the same space seems like a very simple principle based on scripture and founded in truth. But simplicity is in the eye of the beholder...or the head of the thinker in this case, because many people struggle with this principle and try to operate under the guise of faith all the while fearful of every step and turn. Is this you? If so, you could be blocking many blessings and opportunities, or preventing many people from entering, or exiting your life (yes, sometimes them exiting is best). For my guest today, realizing that she was trying to force faith and fear to occur in her life and space at the same time was a game changer for her, and now she's changing the game! Markeisha Minor-Harris is a young woman, but don't let her age fool you. What she lacks in age and experience, she makes up for with grit, determination, and smarts for miles! Otherwise known as, The Dream Catcher, Markeisha is a business consultant and rising entrepreneur who has worked in the Mental Health field and is an advocate for mental wellness. Having jumpstarted her own career, she is now helping others to reach their highest potentials with her work within her business, The Dreamcatcher Network. Markeisha is also the creator of Blocal Search, the fastest growing nationwide directory and app for Black owned businesses.

I believe that healing is simply becoming who you were meant to be before trauma entered into your life. The problem is that though many want to heal they often don't even know how to begin to start the process. Defining moments include those when we decide to make a change, we seek the proper guidance, and when we find it, we take the proper action to change. These are the moments that get us from trauma, to trapped, to healed, to abundance... this is our goal and I pray that it starts for you today! My guest today, is Dr. Leonie H. Mattison…she is an organizational and talent development practitioner. She’s also the author of the books The Thread: Imperfect Steps to a God-ordained Purpose and Beside Still Waters 21-day Devotional. Leonie also created The T.H.R.E.A.D Six-Step System to help survivors free themselves from past trauma and live an abundant life. She earned a Doctorate in organizational leadership from Argosy University, a Master’s in business administration from Georgian Court University and a Christian Life Coaching Certificate from Light University. She is the recipient of the 2018 18th Annual Pacific Coast Business Times “40 Under 40 Award” recognizing the forty best and brightest transformational leaders on the Central Coast under the age of forty. And to top it all off, Leonie has accomplished all of this while raising her 3 daughters. But, before she went on to accomplish all these accolades, Leonie suffered trauma that left her feeling battered and broken. But, thank God she didn't stay that way! She now believes that her purpose is to create work that connects women as one T.H.R.E.A.D to each other and to God so that they can navigate their healing journey abundantly. Whatever is keeping you from your healing should be broken off of your life and it starts today! Listen in, learn, and be inspired!

Unfortunately, a very real part of our human condition are illnesses of the body, mind, and the spirit. Many of these illnesses are caused due to unhealthy relationships with the fuel used to energize us. Fortunately for us, God knew that our actions would lead us to sickness, and He created everything that we would need to heal and be better. God created beautiful plants and left us with self-care strategies with tremendous capacities for restoring health, strength, and wellness. Without a doubt the earliest people knew how to use these to benefit their bodies, minds, and spirits. Today, with all of the man-made additives and preservatives in our foods we need these natural remedies more than ever. The bad news is that over time, we have lost the ability to use these remedies as they have been replaced by man-made medicines designed to be used to help address the illnesses created by all the man-made foods. We're stuck in a perpetual cycle of food dysfunction that's leading us to dis-ease and far too many early deaths. My guest today, Alkemia Earth, found something wrong with this system at an early age and began wanting to change things first in her own life, then in the lives of her children, other family members and friends, and now the world! Alkemia is a holistic health and wellness coach, master subtle energy practitioner, and all-around health game changer. She is an advocate for a lifestyle that advocates wellness of mind, body, and spirit. She lives and teaches the health benefits of a plant-based vegan lifestyle, not just for the body, but for the mind and spirit as well and has followed the teachings of masters such as Dr. Sebi, studying the damage chemical additives and preservatives can cause to the body and mind. The mother of 5 was able to heal her daughter’s eczema and cure her own anemia as well as rehabilitate herself from years of insomnia, high stress and anxiety, low blood sugar, low energy and depression, broke a sugar addiction and was even able to overcome an ovarian cyst. She has gone on to create a unique method that has transformed many lives by helping others overcome diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, depression, anxiety, acne, inflammation, candida, food addictions, high cholesterol, digestion issues, obesity, low energy, poor vision, and even tumors. Her skills as a raw vegan chef led her to be the private chef and energy practitioner for NBA all-star Wilson Chandler for a season, and to be invited to present at the White House during the Obama administration where she was honored to meet President and First-lady Obama. Alkemia is a Savvy Mogul who is truly passionate about living her best life physically, mentally, and spiritually and she's helping others do the same!

Whether from a romantic partner, an employer, service provider, or class bully, everyone has felt victimized at some point in their lives. But some people have been victimized to their very cores by the very people who should have protected them most. This causes life altering emotional and physical trauma that can last a lifetime. Whether this is your story, somewhat your story, or the story of someone you know, victimization has touched all of our lives in some way. Victims come in many forms and from all walks of life, but they often share the same sense of not having a voice...of not being heard. My guest today was a victim and had every reason to stay one. But, instead, she decided to not only make her own voice be heard, but she is now a voice for other victims as well. My guest today, Anika (Nikki) Ransom is an Abuse Recovery Coach and Counselor who also teaches Trauma-Informed Yoga which can be used to assist those who have been abused regulate their emotions. Nikki's passion in life is to help heal women who have suffered from abuse or dysfunction and enhance their well-being through her counseling, coaching, and support. Nikki is a survivor of sexual abuse, and domestic violence who made a decision to pull herself out of a world that attempted to keep her bound in the dysfunction that she now helps others get out of. Nikki is a Savvy Mogul who is Making Moves and giving a Voice to those who have yet to recognize their own yet. She is an inspiration, reminding us that we can choose whether or not we remain in the victim state and we can also choose whether or not our voices are heard!

There comes a time in everyone's life when they have some choices to make that can change everything. These defining moments often pass by unnoticed to those who are not paying attention. Because of their own lack of focus, they often feel as if they are stuck repeating cycles in life over and over again. But, for those who are paying attention and who are ready for change, when these opportunities arise, they take advantage, they boss up, and they take the lead in their lives! For them, things are usually never the same! My guest today, the "Lead Boss," Cat Stancik had a game plan for bossing up and taking the lead in her own life, and boy did she ever! Because of her own success, Cat is now a business coach who other coaches and consultants turn to when they want to make more money fast through her Revenue Accelerator Program!

What they don't tell us is that much of becoming successful in this life is tied moreso to who we are and how we are than it is to the things we do. Of course the actions that we take are important. But, the inner work that we do to heal, grow, and become is even more important. Then, the icing on the cake is learning to love ourselves so that we can then transfer that love to others and to the things that we are called to do in this world... OUR WHY. My guest today, LaShawanda Moore has been able to find the perfect mix between elevating herself to success and doing the work to heal and cultivate self-love. I believe this comes out in her beautiful personality and spirit that allows her to gracefully help others on their journeys. Anyone who meets her or visits her business can tell that she has definitely found her why! LaShawanda is someone that little girls everywhere can look up to... and big girls too. She is a woman of God, a community leader, a wife, a mother, a corporate rockstar, an entrepreneur, a motivational speaker, a coach, and a savvy mogul who's moves can inspire us all!

You too can elevate yourself to a place of success and learn to love yourself in the process! Then, you can identify your why and begin your work! If you're ready to get started, the time is now!

Most people want to know and accomplish God's plan for their lives. What they don't want is to go through the process that often comes before the fulfillment of the plan. My guest today knows from firsthand experience that you cannot have the plan without the process, and even though her process hasn't been easy, she's committed to the plan! So, she pushes on, getting closer to her goals every step of the way. Shirley Hubbard is the creator and host of the Shades of Strong podcast and she knows a whole lot about being strong, having endured much pain and suffering in her life. Instead of allowing her trials to break her, Shirley decided that she would allow her process to do its job, which is to prepare her for her unique plan. Shirley has a sensitivity to the burden of the "strong women" and seeks to support women in their effort to express their strengths in ways that honors them while also not allowing excuses for anyone to take advantage of them. Shirley's sense of humor and wit, together with her caring heart make her a Savvy Mogul who is making moves to strengthen her community from within. Listen in and be inspired!

Knowing yourself is vital to our growth as individuals...as human beings. One of the best ways to get to know yourself better is through honest reflection, acceptance of what you learn, and retention through application. This isn't always easy...it's almost never easy, but it's always useful. On this episode, I reflect on things that I've learned about myself this year in an attempt to cement them in my narrative so that they can be retained and applied in my life. As you listen in to me reflect, judgement is okay as long as you also relect on you. On our journey to our very best lives, I believe that we should take things one moment, one day, one week, one month, and one year at a time. Even so, my goal for myself and for you for the upcoming year is to absolutely SLAY! It starts NOW! Let's reflect, learn, retain and apply! Happy New Year to You! Let the SLAY-age begin!

What happens when the things that we thought would make and keep us happy just don't feel so great after all? Is it life throwing us a sucker punch or is it that we make plans in life without actually being in tune with who we are? When we don’t know who we are we go through life allowing things that truly do not serve us to suck the life right out of us. We have all the symptoms of being out of tune with self, yet we ignore the signs, hoping that they will go away and that nobody else will notice. My guest today is Rita C Ricks and she is an amazing example of living in tune with self and not just chasing purpose but becoming purpose… by living purposefully.

Listen, I'm the first to admit that coming together as a people, as a team, as a group of any kind can be difficult...but it's also very, very necessary. If you're a bit of a loner like I am, it can be all the more difficult! The difficulty is perpetuated because our society has been built around the idea of separate and UNequal...but we can break this paradigm...and unify to uplift, motivate and inspire! As I continue to work on unifying with amazing Savvy Moguls who are Making Moves for this season, I wanted to give 3 points that have helped me to overcome roadblocks when working to connect with others. Listen in, learn, and be inspired!

When is the last time you did something for the purpose of benefiting someone else more than for benefiting yourself? I recently was offered an opportunity, and was told... "don't do it for the money... there has to be a bigger reason why you're doing it." As I thought about the opportunity, I realized that many of the mentors and teachers in my life really "did it for a bigger reason..." they got nothing back from all that they poured into me. My guest today understands this all too well, and has committed herself to actaully paying forward to others all that has been poured into her from those who impacted her life. When was the last time you took the lessons you've learned and payed them forward to impact the lives of those who you are called to reach? Regina Ross is a Savvy Mogul who understands that not every job, career, or business is done simply for the money. She believes that we're all called to reach a certain group of people who will respond to our unique message and delivery and believes that the principal of paying it forward will bring us closer to pursuing and achieving our passions!

One of the major quotes that I remember from book one of the She's About Business Book Series, is "Anything that you can do alone will never truly grow to its full potential." This is why partnering on purpose is necessary in order to truly create the type of reach needed to REACH all those you are called to reach! Savvy moguls aren't afraid to share their platforms with other industry bosses because they understand the purpose in partnering! I was so honored to sit down with Miss CEO Magazine herself, Sharon Oliver for the first episode of season 3! Sharon has created an amazing platform that allows others to highlight their uniqueness in an amazing way! Much of the magic that she creates is done through partnering on purpose and that partnership was extended to the SAB Show with amazing and funny results...because not only is Sharon a Savvy Mogul, but she's also hilarious, unique, and creative!

Being under God's protective hand is such a privilege! Being without His protection is such a difficult and lonely place to be, but it's up to us which way we decide to live. We often inadvertently work against the things that God is trying to do to protect us. This will lead us to painful life lessons that could have been avoided. When we decide to live under the amazing power of God's protection, we still encounter pain, but we are gifted with peace and strength to endure it. What will you choose?

Sometimes we simply need to hear that things are okay... that we are okay just where and how we are. Not because we're perfect, but because we're beautiful works in progress. This message is for you because you are becoming better each and every day! And about all of those mess ups? Hey, keep on working, and pushing... and trust me when I say... it's okay! You are okay!

Life is full of cycles of difficult experiences that require us to recover again and again. In the midst of the pain it can feel like healing is an impossible task. The worst part is that we often find ourselves in these painful situations due to our own decisions and missteps. We must work harder at protecting the most important and sensitive parts of ourselves. But, thankfully, resiliency is a part of our human DNA... and even when it doesn't seem like it, your heart will heal...again.

It can be very tempting to allow your circumstances to define your life. It can also be very tempting to give up when our circumstances seem difficult to bear. But, I believe that every time we push through and refuse to give up we gain "sweat equity" that will pay off for us later. Don't give up now! You're almost there!.

The situation room is basically symbolic of the people who are most intimate with us, or our inner circle. These people often have access to the most important, secret, vital, information about our lives and are often aware of our decisions, goals, dreams, and even our trials and the difficulties we face. When we are birthing the visions for our lives, there will be labor pains. Understanding who's with you in "the room" while you're birthing can make labor easy or hard and can determine your success or failure. Learn more about the 3 C's on this episode!

When you're giving birth to a vision, you have to be careful about who you allow in the birthing room. The situation room is symbolic of the circle of those who most closely walk with you on your journey. It's a place of intimacy, where the biggest and most important things in life are discussed. Have you ever honestly considered who you have around you or considered their purpose in your life? Learn more on this episode!

Unfortunately, as women, many of us have this habit of opening up way too much... when shutting ALL the way up would have been the better choice! Some people love it when we over share because it gives them juicy stuff to discuss about us or about other people. It's so important that we use discernment to guage when we should open up, with whom we should open up, and where we should open up. Most importantly, it's good to have the gift of shutting up! Do you have it?

Regardless of what stage, position, or situation you're currently experiencing in life, peace is not only possible, but it's also necessary. We've previously talked about distinguising the seasons of life and we know how important that process is. But, even without knowing what season you're in, just learning to be at peace regardless of what's happening around you, or within you is key for very best life living! Think it's easier said than done? Listen to this week's episode and find out how you can CHOOSE to have peace where you are! WARNING... your peaceful positivity position may possibly tick some folks off! : )

You know, life can hit hard and it can hit often! Many times it can feel like a losing fight... but I have decided to be a winner even when I lose and you can too. It's not because life doesn't hurt or because of having a perfect life, which none can claim. Despite the challenges you may face, you can win even when you lose...find out how on this episode!

One of the most amazing things about life are its seasons. We experience natural seasons in our environment and spiritual seasons within our lives. Like a tide hitting sand, seasons come and go, often hitting us hard and fiercely, and at other times, soft and gently. In order to make the most of the season you’re in, you must first be able to discern it. Imagine not knowing the difference between winter and summer. You would be ill prepared to operate in a way best suited for your environment. Well, the same is true for the seasons we experience in life. These seasons need to be discerned first in the spirit before we can adjust properly to them in the natural. Learn more about these seasons on this episode!

When is the last time you took the time to affirm the things you want to bring forth in your life? Affirmations are basically positive statements that can help you overcome such challenges as self-sabotaging, negative thoughts, a lack of motivation, a lack of focus, and a lack of hope and faith, just to name a few. There's evidence that suggests that affirmations can help you to perform better in all areas of life including your work life and personal life. Even though repeating affirmations is a win-win, it can still be difficult to take the time to create affirmations that work and to actually sit and read them daily. In this episode, I do the work for you with 65 powerful affirmations that will help you on your journey to living your best life! Enjoy and be transformed!

Often we live our lives as if we are powerless over the things that happen to us. We allow people, circumstances, situations, and even our own negative beliefs to steal our God-given power. Being made in the image of The All Powerful, we were created to have dominion. We were made to be powerful! For all the time you've spent giving away your power, it's time to make aplogies and serve notices! It's time to own your power!

Listen, here's the thing, life will give you plenty of reasons to give up. Circumstances will come that don't make sense, challenges will come that seem too hard to face, and obstacles will come that seem to block your path forward. There will also be people who will bring pain, drama, and difficulty. Giving up can often seem like the easiest way out. But, if there's one lesson that has impacted my life the most it was the realization that as long as I woke up each morning and persevered in faith and hope for my future, I'd be given the strength I needed to keep going. I know it may be tough, I know that people often let you down, and that life can seem unbearable... but trust me, if you persevere, you will make it to your very BEST life...JUST DON'T GIVE UP!
