The Audacious Life - Break Free
Fueling Healthy Thoughts: Overcoming Darkness and Transformative Resilience In this episode I have some raw and vulnerable moments about this year and reflect on what I believe I need to work on with my own stinkin' thinkin'. Being more intentional with what we feed our minds is essential in turning things around, creating hope in our lives, and being a light in the darkness. It was recorded on MLK Day and I was inspired by his memory and his ability to be the man outside the box pushing through oppressive norms and spurring on all people of color to dare to dream bigger, and believe...

Why Become an Entrepreneur as a Survivor of Narcissistic Abuse? In this podcast episode, Steph discusses the advantages of entrepreneurship for mothers who have survived narcissistic or toxic abuse.

info_outline Overcoming Coercive & Abusive Programming - Breaking through a Caged Mindset - Ep 103The Audacious Life - Break Free
Hello, this week I'm talking about the mental cage we have in our minds. It's that thing that stops us from being our best selves, our true selves, from honoring the voice that was once there and was slowly eroded by the programming of toxic relationships, specifically those where coercive control and manipulation are at play. One consistent pattern I've seen with myself and fellow survivors of emotional, financial, mental, or sexual and physical abuse. You finally get out of one of these relationships, and you're like, oh, I'm free! But you quickly realize you're NOT FREE because this...

How to Forgive the Impossible with Brenda Adelman
Brenda Adelman came by the title "The Queen of Forgiveness" under tragic circumstances. The father she adored killed her mother and then later...married her aunt. You read that right. Not only did her kill her mother but he married her sister.
I can't fathom it. The pain, sorrow, and confusion must have been immense. Yet somehow, after some time, Brenda was able to forgive her father and move forward.
She shares all that she went through to be able to accept what happened and honestly feel forgiveness in her heart. If you're feeling heavy and dragged down from someone who wronged you, please listen to this episode.
