In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jill Lanier, the founder of Mindful Renaissance. Our conversation centered around the power of mindfulness in our daily lives, and how it can help us make sound choices based on our emotions. Taking the time to rest with our emotions can help us unlock our potential and shift our mindset in the face of an increasingly complex and stressful world.

Jill's work is truly inspiring. Through her Mindful Renaissance Framework, she has helped countless people unlock their ability to shift their consciousness and embrace a more mindful way of living. Her weekly newsletter and interactive workshops are a testament to her dedication to helping others. It's no wonder she has been featured on TV for the impact of her work in the community.

In this episode I had an impactful conversation with Minister and Author Michelle Dewitt about healing from childhood trauma. She shared with us some of the events that caused her trauma as a child and how those close to her failed to emotionally support her. Because Michelle resonates with children being unheard and unsupported, she started the non-profit, Unbreakable Faith. Tune in to experience Michelle's Story and the wisdom she shares about sustaining during the healing process.
