Your Disability Does Not Define You with Kellina Powell

Kellina is an entrepreneur, author and life coach who loves to help differently-abled people on their journey to personal growth. At the age of 4, she became hard of hearing after an ear infection. Through her speech therapist, she was able to learn ways to communicate with the hearing world. She now uses her experiences to assist others. In honor of Kellina, I have attached a transcript with this episode.

Choosing to Really Trust God with Robert McNair
Having a hustle attitude, Robert McNair likes to win! Newly married, having a newborn, preaching every Sunday at his Church, his life plan was all coming to fruition. Until, nobody showed up to hear him give the word. With a new family, financial burdens, his marriage disintegrating and his dream of having a successful Church slipping away, he thought giving his all to God and trusting Him would break him so he was trying things in his own strengths.
Robert learned that in actuality, he was trusting himself and not God. When he learned he had to REALLY give things to God, that's when it all started to change for him.
I invite you to join our conversation as Robert and I discuss:

"Embracing the And" with Faith Broussard Cade
After being hit from behind by a tractor trailer, Faith Broussard Cade thought she came out of it unscathed. The ambulance looked her over and she was not bleeding. Although a little sore, she didn't imagine anything could be seriously wrong. But there was! In the passing days and weeks, her mobility became more restricted. She was having blurred vision. Her long and short term memory progressively got worse.
Symptoms of Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury: that was what Faith Broussard Cade was experiencing. When she went to doctor after doctor explaining something was wrong, she was regularly ignored until a neurologist finally listened and diagnosed her. In this episode, Faith will discuss how she was able to take this life-altering event and create hope for not only herself but for others...one sticky note at a time.
