When we were planning the episode for the month, I knew I wanted to share with you books that I felt so perfectly aligned with StrongHer.me that I wish I had written them myself.
These books represent a specific part of my own spiritual growth journey. Many of my own core values and beliefs about calling are expressed in these books. Once you’ve listened to this episode, I hope you will share a book that communicates one of your core values as a leader.

"The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life" by Edith Eger
Edith Eger is a clinical psychologist and a Holocaust survivor. In the Gift she explains that the worst prison she experienced is not the prison that Nazis put her in but the one she created for herself, the prison within her own mind. She describes the twelve most pervasive imprisoning beliefs she has known—including fear, grief, anger, secrets, stress, guilt, shame, and avoidance—and the tools she has discovered to deal with these universal challenges.
Accompanied by stories from Eger’s own life and the lives of her patients, this book
captures the vulnerability and common challenges we all face and provides encouragement and advice for breaking out of our personal prisons to find healing and enjoy life.

At the start of the July 4th weekend, the news broke that Sha'Carri Richardson, a track and field star, would be banned from competing in the 2021 Olympics because of marijuana use. People rushed to post and make comments on social media without knowing the full context of why she was banned. As we all know, false, misleading or incomplete information spreads like wildfire on social media. Like many things that get turned into sound bites and memes there's layers to her story.
According to Office of Minority Health at the U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services, National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is observed each July to bring awareness to the unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face regarding mental illness in the United States. Sha'Carri's story opens up a bigger conversation about mental health and how we help ourselves and our young people cope with their mental and emotional stressors.
This is Part 2 of a 2 part bonus episode of a conversation with a licensed therapist and two friends who have utilized therapy to heal from traumatic experiences.
If you missed Part 1, we encourage you to go back and listen before listening to this episode.

I usually share physical books, but I want to recommend some audio books this week. I love listening to books in the author’s voice. There is a true connection that is made when you hear someone’s words in their voice. I think one of the powerful elements of podcasting is you hearing my voice. Our voice tells a story. When you hear someone’s voice, you get a sense of their body language, you see their flaws which is always connecting, you get to absorb more of their personality, their history.

Episode 88 is inspired by personal experience from the last couple months.
In the last episode I mentioned experiencing a setback in business when I hired someone that I hoped would be helping me to be more consistent with sharing my content. I was triggered by that partnership not working out and I self doubt rose to the top. The way I was thinking about myself and business was hindering me and not helping me.
This episode will remind you of the power of words and help you shift the words you are speaking to yourself.

This month we're discussing the power of words.
My love and passion for words is one of the things that makes me, me. Inspiring, empowering, impactful words are on the walls in my home, on my bookshelves, in my phone and on my vision boards. I am very careful with my words, because words shape us! Our thoughts, hopes, dreams and goals have been influenced by the words used to describe us and how we have been talked to. Words can bring life or death. So, for the next few episodes, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite sources of wisdom aka books, songs, podcasts, etc 🙂
My hope is that these sources of wisdom will benefit you too.
