A SLM conversation with Renee King-Sonnen (Her vegan transformation from cattle rancher to cattle sanctuary) Renee King-Sonnen is on a mission to restore harmony and balance between us, animals, and our planet. This mission started with Rowdy Girl, an abandoned calf on her husband’s Texan cattle ranch. Her husband asked her to help nurture and mother Rowdy Girl. And, this changed everything; it was the start of a new way of seeing animals, a new diet, and a new life mission. Renee went on to become a vegan, to co-found Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, and work with the Rancher Advocacy...

SLM Short-ish 9: A SILVER LINING MOMENT in PROCESS & FRIENDSHIP
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
A moment of PSORIASIS & FRUSTRATION is lined by PROCESS & FRIENDSHIP. Silver Lining Moments are every where, in each moment, even in a moment of psoriasis (chronic condition) & frustration! In this SLM short, I talk about how a psoriasis flare-up has me feeling frustrated and angry filled with resentment and fear! These feelings may start with the psoriasis, but once I feel them, they spread to other areas of my life. Once the frustration feelings take hold, they create a filter through which I see everything that casts a shadow over all aspects of my life. The more I focus on my frustration,...

Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
A moment of MOTHERHOOD is lined by Dreams A SLM conversation with Bonnie Silvestri Bonnie taught women in law classes that discussed legal issues around motherhood and families including topics like pregnancy and families in the workplace. When she became pregnant herself, these were no longer abstract issues in case books. They were personal. She realized that the whole "work life balance thing” was not so easily managed. She began to look at family leave policies around the world – in particular, she looked at countries that provided paid family leave like England...

SLM Short 8: A SILVER LINING MOMENT in your inbox and messages
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
Silver Lining Moments are every where, in each moment, even in your inbox and messages. Last week, I received a few "just messages". The messages that have "just" somewhere in them, such as "I am writing just because I am thinking of you" or "I just wanted to let you know that you are important to me/that you are doing a good job/that I appreciate your friendship." Often, these messages are short in words but big in their positive impact. These just messages are a ray of sunshine in my inbox that brighten my day and shine a light through the years in my heart. They are...

SLM Short 7: A Silver Lining Moment in a SILVER-LINED bath tub
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
Are you looking for a sign that you are on the right track? When I asked for a sign that Silver Lining Moments is a worthwhile focus of good in the world, I saw this "sign"; it's in the form of a SILVER-LINED bath tub in a storefront showcase. Just like the light behind the cloud, a SILVER LINING MOMENT is always there - reminding us of the light in ourselves, in our conversations, in each other, and in each MOMENT. And, a SLM takes many forms - sometimes it's that little bit of encouragement or that "sign" you are looking for. This SILVER-LINED bath tub was the...

SLM Short 6: A Silver LIning Moment in a movie
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
SLMs are everywhere, in each moment. This one is in the movie 13 Lives, which is about the real-life cave rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach. They were trapped in the cave for 17 days. Some 10,000 people—including 2,000 soldiers, 200 divers and volunteers from around the world helped in their rescue. After watching this movie, I was in awe of how amazing people can be! Director Ron Howard said it best: “It’s a very contemporary theme that we need to remind ourselves of, and that is how powerful we can all be internationally or on a community level when we pull...

info_outlineA moment of LOSS is lined by EMPOWERMENT
“How can she be so happy and positive after all she’s been through?”
This is what Dr. Alisa Whyte’s mom asked the nurse when Alisa was lying in a hospital bed having lost life-threatening amounts of blood and facing the loss of her uterus.
These are just some of the traumatic losses she experienced.
- LOSS: In her childhood, domestic violence by her father damaged tissues in her brain. While recovered now, for a year she experienced the loss of her memory, her ability to speak, and her ability to move freely by herself .
- LOSS: As an adult, she experienced infertility and miscarriages. She lost her unborn babies. Then, with losing her uterus this past year, she lost the possibility of ever giving birth to her own children.
- LOSS: She lost her marriage to divorce.
At one point, she explained that “my soul was so tired” and how she felt frustrated with having done everything “they” said to do to be a happy and successful adult yet feeling stuck in loss.
This conversation is not about being stuck in loss. Alisa did not stay stuck.
THIS SLM CONVERSATION IS ABOUT LETTING GO, FINDING PEACE, LIVING YOUR PURPOSE
Dr. Alisa Whyte shares her own experiences of trauma and loss and her healing through these losses. She has been in the trenches of grief and anger and she shares her path to peace and joy. With tools grounded in self-awareness and gratitude, she deals with the tremendous life challenges that we all face from time to time while still living with purpose and with peace.
She now empowers others to do the same and to live with fulfillment, purpose, and joy.* Ambassador , Prof. Dr. Alisa Whyte is the dynamic, trailblazing Founder, President, and CEO of Fulfillment Empowerment Network, the Vice President of Save the Girl Child Advocacy, Africa. and the Accreditation Director for Europe, M.E.N.A and Asia at International Internship University (IIU). Alisa is a Transformational Leadership and Master Mindset Coach, an International Speaker and trainer, certified by the John Maxwell Team. Additionally, Alisa is an ambassador of peace for humanity and a global professor of humanities, leadership, and management at International Internship university.
She has received many awards for the positive impact she is making around the world including: the global woman of choice award for peak performance in business and leadership, businesswoman of the year 2021, and A RED BLAZER OF EXCELLENCE AND ACHIEVEMENT Global Award. She is a #1 International Best-Selling author for her collaborative work with the book I AM - How to Release the Shame of Narcissistic Abuse & Transform Financial Poverty to Wealth Beyond Numbers.
IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE DISCUSS:
- The losses she has endured
- Losing babies through miscarriages
- How one of the most common questions asked at any and every networking function or event strikes daggers of pain into the heart of a woman who has miscarried and never had children
- How the “just get over it” culture is not healing, keeps you stuck in pain, and robs you of the joys of life
- Her passion about compassionate servant leadership and helping individuals live authentically in their purpose
- Her personal mission to help individuals overcome self-limiting beliefs, discover their purpose, improve their relationships, and lead a life of fulfillment
- Asking ourselves “how do I want to make the world a better place?”
- Not letting the roles we play or the titles we have define who we are
- How each of us is a gift for the world
- Her work with Save the Girl-Child Advocacy and other special projects
- the personal development “work” she has done on her path of healing and fulfillment including P3 (Purpose Passion Peace) retreats, which is where we met
- Her Silver Lining Moment from the “angels” of P3 that turned her heart from hopeless to hopeful, which remains a part of her today.
During our conversation, I felt connected. In her losses, I felt loss. In her healing, I felt healing. I deeply understood that, although going through a loss can feel extremely lonely, we are not alone. And, as she experienced her message of self-awareness, authenticity, gratitude, and resilience, I was empowered on my own path of purpose and fulfillment. From my conversation with Dr. Alisa Whyte, I discover how:
A moment of LOSS is lined by EMPOWERMENT.
Thank you to Alisa and to you, listeners. By Alisa sharing and by you listening, together,
We are expanding love and light,
One person at a time
One story at a time
One Silver Lining Moment at a time.
