2 Girls Talking

You Are Loved Dearly

A flash of light in the dark. A breeze of cool air that came out of nowhere. Most of us have experienced strange, or unexplained instances. But have you ever wondered if these instances were actually signs from loved ones or friends who have passed but want to get a message to you? Frances Fayden says they probably were.
Meet the Reverend Frances Fayden. She is an ordained minister and a mystic. She believes you can have a direct experience with  God, and she is here to help you achieve that. Her encounter with the Mother Mary changed her, and since then Rev. Fayden has been spreading Mary's message. 
That includes from those who have left us. Rev. Fayden says our loved ones don't ever really leave us, they are all around us, watching over us, ready to help if we just ask for it.
This is her story.
Rev. Frances Fayden

She Played Their Game. Then Changed the Rules

Sara McElroy was on the fast track to the C-suite. Everything she had worked for was within her grasp. And she hated her life. Work sucked, the company sucked, her bosses sucked harder. She had to make a change and a big one. Sara uprooted her life and moved to Florida for a new job, with a clean start. But life has a funny way of teaching lessons because the next job was even worse than the first. Instead of being pushed to the side, she was sexually harassed, enmeshed in a world of good ole boy cronyism and locker room antics. 
This time she knew it wasn't just change she needed, it was an explosion. This is the story of how Sara burned down her corporate career only to build something stronger out of the ashes: A movement that lights up others while feeding her soul called Raze to Rise.

A Dream Re-Imagined

Have you loved something so much, or wished for something so much - but when it comes true it's not at all what you imagined? In fact, it's not much fun at all. It happens often for entrepreneurs. 
Celeste Crutchfield loves fashion, so much so that after her military service she put all her passion into owning a boutique, where she could choose what kinds of clothes and jewelry to buy. It had been her dream to work in fashion some way and owning a business, especially a little boutique she loved shopping in herself - seemed the perfect answer. But sometimes what we thought we wanted doesn't work out, and Celeste made a very difficult choice to close the shop. Then she reimagined that dream. 
And now, she's happier than ever. Let her tell you her story

How Sri Got Social!

Meet Sri Mahibir - a video visibility coach. She helps companies and individuals find their voice in video and on social media. Well that's what she does now, but she didn't start out as a video visibility coach. Sri began in sales then lost her job during covid - like much of the world.
But Sri soon realized she wasn't getting noticed, and knew that had to change. So she stepped way out of her comfort zone and forced herself to go live on social media. And guess what? It worked. She found her people and people found her. Now she's taking her message to the world, and helping others broadcast their message too.

Dear White Women

It's time to get uncomfortable. That's right. We are talking about race. That's the message from Sara and Misasha, two bi-racial professional women and moms. They met at a discussion about racial identity and have been talking ever since. Now they use their voices and the voices of others to bring women into anti-racism - and specifically White Women. 
Sharing their stories and the stories of other women, these two are hoping to change how we react, how we interact, how we teach the next generation to be anti-racist and what that really means.
Listen to their own story in their own words now.

Her Second Chapter

Tracie Potts was always up for a challenge. After two decades as an NBC News reporter, and working the very early morning hours, and covering some of the biggest stories of the 21st Century, she was used to challenges. 
But perhaps the biggest challenge of her career is happening now, her Second Chapter. Tracie traded in her professional journalism career for a life in academia, and helping future generations achieve their dreams. She is the Executive Director of the Eisenhower Institute at Gettysburg College. And while she didn't know it at the time, everything she learned as a journalist prepared her for this new chapter of life.
 
 

She Acted with Volodymyr Zelensky. Now She Does Nothing.

Meet Jessie Kanzer - modern, 21st century actress, author, essayist and mom. And a firm believer in the ancient practice of doing nothing. 
You read that right:  Nothing. Jessie has led the life of a voyager, escaping from the former Soviet Union to the U.S., hitting the stage and big screen with the now President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Yes, THAT president. 
But it wasn't until she embraced the writings of the Tao Te Ching that she found her calling. Now she's teaching others how doing nothing can move you to create something.
