What would happen if you never showed up as you were meant to? What difference would it make if your gifts remained hidden? These questions have haunted me during my recent absence from the podcast—not from a place of melodrama, but from genuine reflection on the legacy we're all building, whether we realize it or not.

Coming back after what I call "life-ing"—that season where everything demands your attention simultaneously—I've been confronted with the word "legacy" everywhere. From billboards to eyeglass frames, this concept keeps finding me, pushing me to consider what impact my life will have. Through this reflection, I've realized that purpose isn't what you do, but how what you do affects others. We are living epistles being read by those around us, making impressions that last far beyond our presence.

Not showing up in the fulness of who God created you to be actually robs people of what they need. What gifts are inside you, waiting to be unwrapped and shared? What legacy are you building through your daily choices? I'd love to hear your story.

What happens when a promising career runs into a wall of envy and impossible expectations? Join us as we sit down with Tish, who opens up about her tumultuous journey through corporate America. Her rapid rise and strong relationships with senior management were abruptly halted by a toxic manager's relentless efforts to undermine her. Tish's story is a powerful testament to the emotional strain of toxic workplaces and the immense resilience it takes to weather such storms.

Ever wondered how faith and perseverance can turn unemployment into an opportunity? Tish's narrative takes an inspiring twist as she recounts her period of joblessness, buoyed by an unexpected increase in unemployment benefits. During this time, she taught herself HR systems and Excel, leading to her first HR job despite initial self-doubt. When faced with more workplace adversity, Tish chose to advocate for herself, resigning rather than compromising her values. Her experience underscores the crucial role of self-advocacy, and the fortitude gained through professional challenges.

In a remarkable journey of faith, divine guidance, and entrepreneurial spirit, Tish reveals how she was led to a pivotal HR role without formal qualifications, eventually launching her own company, Tish Co. A profound spiritual vision during a fast propelled her to accept this unexpected corporate opportunity. We discuss the importance of keeping vows to God and the transformative power of sharing testimonies. Connect with Tish as she navigates trauma with grace and advocates for others in the corporate world.

What if your mental health diagnosis wasn’t entirely accurate? Join us in this compelling episode of "Triumph Over Trauma" as my cousin Deborah shares her harrowing journey through misdiagnoses and the critical discovery that changed her life. Initially diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder and schizophrenia, Deborah faced the adverse effects of inappropriate medications. It took multiple hospitalizations and a second opinion to uncover that thyroid issues were contributing to her symptoms, leading to an accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Deborah's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of accurate diagnosis and the complex interplay between physical and mental health.

Managing mental health and achieving stability is a journey, and Deborah’s experience is a testimony to that. Discover how recognizing and addressing symptoms like insomnia and anxiety, and understanding the effects of hyperthyroidism and menstrual cycles on mental well-being, were pivotal in her recovery. Deborah's self-care routine, which includes Abilify, dream journaling, sound baths, yoga, meditation, and faith-rooted affirmations, has been instrumental in maintaining her mental and spiritual balance. This episode emphasizes the transformative power of self-care practices and the significance of putting oneself first to enhance mental wellness.

In our heartfelt discussion, Deborah opens up about the healing process through massage therapy and the power of spiritual grounding. The support of her family, faith, and prayer were crucial during her recovery, showcasing the immense strength found in collective support and spiritual practices. Deborah shares how integrating peace and meditation into her career as a traveling massage therapist has not only helped her return to normal life but also fostered a peaceful state of mind for her clients. Tune in to learn how therapeutic practices can transform lives and the importance of maintaining a spiritual practice for overall mental health, as we express our gratitude for these enlightening discussions and thank God for guiding us through triumph over trauma.
