Your voice is powerful! You have a story to tell, and that story is meant to be heard.

We were created in The Master Creator’s image. And that fact means we are all creatives. We all have a creative voice! God has given each of us a gift that we are to use to create and birth greatness.

Learning to love yourself can be hard. That’s because the lack of self-love often stems from childhood trauma or situations that alter one’s perception of identity and voice. My guest today endured painful attacks against her voice that resulted in her struggling with not only loving herself, but also with seeing herself. Shelly Crowell is a mother, grandmother, author, speaker, and registered nurse. She is also a survivor of child abuse, molestation, domestic violence, and rape.

After being abandoned by her mother in a small, shack in Bogota, Colombia, my guest Marlena Estrella—the oldest of 4 children—fought to keep herself and her siblings alive. She was only 5. Fighting off rats and surviving on only lumps of sugar, they were emaciated and close to death before authorities found them. Eventually, they were adopted by an American couple, but sadly troubles for Marlena did not end there. She endured torture and abuse at the hands of both her adoptive mother and father. And her life spiraled out of control. Today, Marlena is an Empowered & Purposeful Life Coach, speaker and author of the book “Whatever It Takes: You Have Greatness in You.” Join us as she shares her story and explains the importance of “The Power Within.”

Hello Butterflies! Welcome to Episode #2 of The Chrysalis Experience! Finding, cultivating, and presenting a REVIVED and authentic version of yourself to the world is both an inside AND outside job. Last week, wardrobe stylist and fashion and branding expert Laura Hunt shared the approach she uses to address the internal issues (mental, emotional, spiritual) when it comes to not only restyling her clients, but also when it comes to reinventing herself. She and I discussed topics like Self-Awareness and Conflict and how sometimes reinventing yourself simply boils down to uncovering and discovering new facets of self. Well, this week Laura is in the Chrysalis with me again! And we are discussing the external! Things like body types, colors, and fashion rules (HINT: Rule #1...Forget the rules!). Your look speaks volumes, and it should be an accurate representation of who you are. Laura discusses the importance of addressing the external and gives us tips and tricks on how to bring your transformation full circle! Tune in as we discuss part two of “Reinventing You.”
