GIVING STARTS WITH YOU

We all have a social responsibility to help other human beings whether through education, or basic human needs such as water, food and shelter.  What you may not realize is how helping others can impact and change your life forever!  The memories, experiences and human connection for the giver and receiver and PRICELESS!!

You can volunteer your time,  resources, skills and participate in endless ways! No gift is too small!

"Volunteering is a form of expression that communicates the personal and social values that give our lives a deeper meaning. And it is a necessity in a world that has so many human needs.''

Thank you, Meagan! I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation! Forgiveness can be one of the BEST gifts we can give to ourselves, and this is clear through storytelling also. Meagan shares why it is essential to speak your truth and share your story, even if just with yourself! Letting our story out and not suppressing our feelings is true to my heart. Meagan suggests we begin by simply writing it down, recording it, and then burning it. That is what helps us. Storytelling is so powerful and free, and when you are ready to share it with others, it can also help heal them and make them feel that they are not alone, which is a genuinely important message.

Meagan O’Nan is an award-winning author, keynote speaker, and vulnerable storytelling expert. She is the author of the award-winning book, “Creating Your Heaven on Earth,” and “Courage: Agreeing to Disagree Is Not Enough.” Her third book is forthcoming and will be published in January 2023 with New Degree Press. Meagan is also a member of the Forbes Coaches Council, where she produces regular content for Forbes.com. 

Meagan has spoken to thousands of people at live events since 2008, including alongside internationally recognized spiritual leaders such as don Miguel Ruiz, author of the best-selling book, “The Four Agreements,” and she has appeared multiple times in local and national media. Meagan even received a personal note from Desmond Tutu after hearing a talk of hers on forgiveness. ​ 

Meagan is passionate about creating deeper connections through speaking, workshops, and through her executive speaker coaching. Her approach is unique because she uses storytelling to overcome differences and generate healing. For the last decade, she has been a significant voice for the LGBTQ community in Mississippi, speaking with pastors, university representatives and classes on the radio and the news as a voice offering unity and cooperation. Meagan now lives with her wife, Clare, and their daughter, Merit, in Starkville, Mississippi.

Meet Niurka Castaneda

Niurka Castaneda grew up in Cuba and came from a family of entrepreneurs and artists. Her grandfather was a poet, and her parent’s Cuban entrepreneurs. They were very resourceful people, which is why she believes she has always been enterprising and artistic. She loves to talk about art, music, books and all things that provide smiles and hope. She loves to travel the world, learn and go on adventures. She is a Veteran Entrepreneur, a filmmaker, an author, a logistician, a photographer, a media producer/host (TV / Podcast / Film) & the founder of AMOR Umbrella…I guess you can call her a “Multipotentialite.” 

She felt the call to serve her new home, and a year after arriving in the US, she joined the Army to serve her great country. The military offered her many new experiences, and she learned skills like resilience, flexibility, self-motivation, determination, self-discipline, goal setting, and risk tolerance. It was only natural to transition from the military to becoming an Entrepreneur.

 Niurka Castaneda leveraged her education combined with her military skills and 20+ years in the field of logistics, in addition to personal life experiences, to create her company AMOR Umbrella, which once upon a time started as a class project at a Global Supply Chain Program at Miami Dade College and quickly became a life-changing endeavour that ignited an entrepreneurial spirit and a journey of creativity, problem-solving, personal empowerment, constant innovation and evolution.

Entrepreneurship was her way to find a new identity after transitioning from the military and building a brand out a heart-shaped bright red umbrella. It was a defining moment because it unleashed her imagination. She is the author of the “How to Launch the Business that Fits Your Lifestyle”© series (HLFYL) (From Idea to Implementation©, “A Better Business Launch Guide©” and It’s All About Time Management© that was created with the goal of helping 1M+ new entrepreneurs launch their dream business, and teach them the skills and strategies needed to scale and succeed in business. She is the co-author of Venture into the Everglades©, which seeks to highlight the benefits of recreational, therapeutic adventures by taking chances, exploring new environments, and connecting trauma survivors on a deep soul level, and it helps unlock healing, discovery, history, and education. 

Amor Umbrella has evolved to become a global media heart-centered enterprise that focuses on serving the military-veteran community thru programs, products & services that educate, entertain and empower our community. When our founder found that misinformation of available resources was and still is an issue for active military and veterans alike, so often in the dark of where to go for that much-needed help, she was there too. The reason why she took it upon herself to be a bridge builder and help correct the gap by launching her own Veteran - Entrepreneur Focus media shows & events: Umbrellas of Hope TV & Founders Time Podcast. 

In our veteran - Entrepreneur focus tv show, Umbrellas of Hope, She personally curates the content and the accuracy of the information and resources shared and bridges the gap between veterans and the civilian world by initiating and facilitating conversations of Hope, Empowerment and Creativity and avenues to elevate the experience of transitioning out the military.

Susan wants us all to know that we ARE allowed to have our feelings, feel them and experience them.  In this episode, she reminds us that our minds want to automatically go to the worst-case scenario when we are faced with challenges  and that is why it is crucial that we find the 'gems' and "gifts" that can be found during our most difficult times.   Susan says, "Adversity demands from us things that we didn't know we had." and no one can argue with that.

Meet Susan De Lorenzo

Life Coach Susan De Lorenzo helps women who are emerging from life-altering adversities and guides them to evaluate the insights and wisdom that such times hold. She believes our dark times hold amazing "gems" which we can use to construct our lives on an elevated platform for a soul-led life that honors the journey and the great woman who was within all along. As a survivor of invasive breast cancer whose marriage dissolved as treatment ended, Susan draws upon her personal journey as well as her training as a life coach to give clients, readers and listeners the mindsets and tools to rebuild their lives in alignment with their deepest desires. Susan is also a soon-to-be author of the book, Pulling the Gems from Adversity, slated to be published by Balboa Press.
