Episode Description
Too often, leaders who support and influence others feel they have to BE a certain way to meet the expectations of others. But BEING someone other than who you naturally are causes you to lose yourself and the power that comes with authenticity. Dr. Richardson succumbed to the exhausting attempt to be who and what everyone wanted her to be, instead of who she really was. That duplicitous living left her confused, lost, and broken. It wasn't until she began to create a flip and fully embrace her uniqueness that she began to shine brilliantly. Authenticity does not mean you satisfy the desires of everyone around you. It simply means you experience an internal peace and an external power while you pursue purpose that is fulfilling.
Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity
Thursday at 2 PM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
Resilience isn’t about bouncing back, but bouncing forward. Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity brings powerful stories and fearless conversations from experts in the field of business, relationships, emotional, physical and mental health, and faith-based communities together to give practical insight on how there is always a flip side to every story. Each episode creates a brave space that combines proven lessons from neuroscience, powerful tools from authentic connection, key principles from life lessons, and practical promises from faith-based insights. Trauma, toxic stress, broken habits and hurting hearts don’t define destiny, but peace isn’t passive. It requires an exchange. To create a flip and access peace in the middle of the pieces, you are challenged to make an exchange of the lies that have kept you mentally hostage in basement moments for a Steps of Growth framework, which cultivates a shift toward growth planning and forward movement.
