Hey there, Beautiful souls! Today is a special day because I’m giving you a powerful soulful, insight into my new book a Rose is still a Rose: You hold the Power! This book is for anyone who has been through a storm. For anyone who has navigated a season of heartbreak, loss, betrayal, or gnawing self-doubt—those times when life tried its absolute hardest to break you. You might feel like the person you were before the storm is gone, replaced by someone tired, someone cautious, someone who has simply forgotten their own beauty.That feeling? That raw, real pain of identity loss? It’s universal. And it’s why I wrote this guide to empower women around the world.A Rose is Still A Rose by Alesha Eads is available at Barnes & Noble 🌹⬇️https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-rose-is-still-a-rose-alesha-eads/1147482484?ean=9798317683221

Love is boundless. It stretches far beyond what the human mind can measure or the heart can contain. It flows freely, healing wounds we thought would never close and building bridges we once believed were beyond repair. Love moves through time, distance, and circumstance—proving again and again that it knows no boundaries.When we love purely and without conditions, we tap into something eternal. Love doesn’t ask for perfection—it simply asks for presence. It calls us to see the light in others, to forgive, to uplift, and to believe in goodness even when the world feels heavy. True love doesn’t control or confine; it expands, liberates, and transforms.In this episode you will discover that love is not just an emotion but a powerful force—a divine energy that connects us all. It reminds us that no act of kindness is ever wasted, no word of compassion ever unheard, and no heart ever too far gone to be touched by grace.

True beauty has always been within you. It was never something to chase, earn, or prove. Real beauty doesn’t come from mirrors, makeup, or approval. It comes from self-love, peace of mind, and the light you carry inside. This episode will focus on how to nurture your thoughts, speak kindly to yourself, and live with intention so that your inner world begins to shine outwardly. That glow cannot be washed off or worn out—it’s the kind that radiates through your smile, your confidence, and the way you make others feel. It’s a beauty that deepens with time because it’s rooted in authenticity, compassion, and strength.

Hey there, beautiful souls! Every interaction you have sends out a signal. You may not realize it, but the way you think, speak, and move is charged with energy—an energy people pick up on long before you say a single word. This is why two people can walk into the same room with the same goals, yet walk out with completely different results. The difference isn’t luck, looks, or even talent. The difference is energy.Desperate energy pushes people away. It creates pressure, fear, and resistance, often leading to disappointment or rejection. On the other hand, confident energy pulls people in. It radiates assurance, calm, and certainty. This episode will help you understand how to operate out of confident energy that creates space for attraction, respect, and opportunity.

Every failure in your past has prepared you for the next opportunity. Every lesson learned is proof that you are stronger, wiser, and more capable than you were before. The future is not shaped by the times you fell, but by how you rise up.This week episode will unpack strategies to step forward from here, choose to welcome failure as a teacher, not an enemy. Let it refine your character, fuel your determination, and guide you toward growth. Success is not about avoiding mistakes—it is about using them to build a stronger, brighter version of yourself.There’s a Winner in You Book by Alesha Eads⬇️https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/theres-a-winner-in-you-alesha-eads/1146671624?ean=9798341842038

Life has a way of placing chains on us—chains of fear, chains of doubt, chains of poverty, pain, or limitation. These chains often come from circumstances we did not choose: where we were born, what we lacked, what we endured, or what others told us we could never be. Over time, those chains can feel permanent, convincing us that our present reality is all we will ever know. You are not your circumstances. You are not the weight of your past, nor the label others have given you. Within you lives resilience, creativity, strength, and untapped potential.This episode is about breaking the chains that have tried to define you. It’s about choosing to rise above hardship and refusing to let your environment dictate your destiny. This is an invitation to freedom—to see yourself as capable, worthy, and unstoppable. As you journey through these words, my hope is that you begin to believe this truth: the chains can break, the cycle can end, and your future can be greater than your past.

They say they want success, but when challenges arise, they back down. They wish for change, but they aren’t willing to work for it.

On this episode we will get real and raw about the skills set to commit in life, love, and success. The difference between playing it safe and being in it to win it.
