Living from the Soul with Jennifer Covington
Welcome to the "Soul of a Leadher" podcast! Help me welcome Jennifer Covington who is a life coach, business strategist, and action instigator. She's had the pleasure of working with Fortune 500 giants such as Anheuser-Busch, MGM Studios and 20th Century Fox and spent 3 years in Ecuador teaching small business development to poverty stricken single mothers and orphaned youth as a means of livelihood and sustainability. From these experiences, she's learned what it takes (no matter who you are) to create, build, and run a freedom-based business from the ground up.

Together, we delve into the vital separation between personal and business identities and embrace the beautiful cycles of our lives. We also challenge stereotypes, focus on soul-centered strategies, and inspire individuals to replenish their energies. Here are some of the key takeaways of this episode: Value of Connection and Community Support: Reaching out through simple acts like sending a message or scheduling meet-ups can strengthen our relationships, especially during challenging times. We must invest in and support black women to replenish their energies to help sustain their invaluable contributions to society.

The Beauty of Unraveling with Rebecca Wilson

The Beauty of Unraveling with Rebecca Wilson
I had the immense pleasure of speaking with the incredible Rebecca Wilson, a queer Christian activist, poet, and founder of the initiative "10 Camels." Rebecca candidly shares her profound journey of self-acceptance, challenging societal and religious norms, and learning to cultivate self-love amidst deep-rooted beliefs. We'll explore how her experiences growing up in Flint and Detroit, combined with a grit forged in these communities, have shaped her advocacy and storytelling. Rebecca's story is one of resilience and transformation—moving from a place of hidden identity and excessive sacrifice to embracing her true self and understanding that God's love is unconditional. She recounts the emotional symbolism in actions like unraveling her clergy robe, reflecting her healing and empowerment. So, settle in and join us as we traverse Rebecca's journey with an open heart and an inquisitive mind. Here are some of the key takeaways of this episode: Embrace Self-Love and Authenticity: Rebecca’s journey highlights the importance of self-love and accepting one's true self. She found hope and began envisioning a life of self-acceptance, reminding us that divine love is abundant and encompasses all identities. Challenge Restrictive Beliefs: Through her narrative, Rebecca illustrated how internalized beliefs about suffering and sacrifice can limit us. Questioning these beliefs and understanding that suffering is not a contest can lead to healthier and more fulfilling lives. The Power of Storytelling in Social Justice: Rebecca’s work through her platform "10 Camels" exemplifies how personal stories can be pivotal in addressing societal issues. Storytelling not only fosters connection but also drives significant social change by illuminating diverse lived experiences.
