Girlfriend, let’s talk - Shalimar J

In this episode, Shalimar J reflects back on the catalyst behind Girl Embrace It TV. As it happens with any journey toward reinvention and growth, Shalimar found her spark of inspiration to pay it forward during one of her lowest points in life.

Shalimar explains how, at the same time she was going through her own dark path, she was seen as the voice of reason among her peers and, therefore, was the go-to-person for advice. Shalimar’s most common refrain for these struggling ladies?

“Embrace it. Girl, I get it, but embrace it.”

There came a point where Shalimar realized that God was leading her to create a platform and a brand where her message can reach more audiences far and wide.

Listen in as Shalimar goes on to share on how, as a result of following His guidance, Girl Embrace It TV came to be. She then describes how her faith carried her through an abusive marriage and her attempts to make ends meet while taking care of her children after her divorce.

As she explains, it all led to her outreach geared toward survivors of domestic abuse, My Scars Are Beautiful; They Are My Testimony, as well as many other initiatives going forward.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

● 03:11 The birth of Girl Embrace It TV

● 22:33 The power of a testimony

● 27:59 Why healing is so difficult

● 29:42 How to get in touch with Shalimar

Key Quotes by Shalimar:

● We don’t wake ourselves. He does the waking.

● Never make anyone else’s sin be your sin.

● We can get so high and mighty, when God has done the good thing, we don’t even hear Him anymore. We hear Him when we’re low, and He knows that, but we need to be able to hear him at all times.

● A testimony is a powerful thing and testimonies help heal.

● The hardest part of getting over your it is the starting point of getting through it.

● Be confident in God’s plan for you, and He’ll do the rest.

Girlfriend, let’s talk - Yolanda Mercer

In this episode, Reva speaks with Yolanda D. Mercer of Raleigh, North Carolina. She has a love of ministry, consulting, and coaching individuals to discover their hidden gifts. As a licensed educator, counselor, and minister, it is her passion to empower others.

She is also the author of three books: Hidden, She Serves: A Guide For Women In Adjutancy, The King’s Wife, and Breaking Up with Comparison.

Listen in as Yolanda discusses her own experiences with comparison, how being hidden prepares us for the unique journey that God has laid out for us, and how to overcome imposter syndrome and feelings of inadequacy.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

● 00:57 Yolanda’s background in education

● 01:55 Avoiding the comparison trap

● 03:29 Why you don’t need to worry about being a “late bloomer”

● 04:51 Allowing yourself to be hidden

● 07:45 What does it mean to be God’s masterpiece?

● 09:40 How comparison shows up in our lives

● 14:11 How do social events or platform comparison impact a woman’s self-esteem?

● 18:05 Is comparison a learned behavior?

● 22:46 How to get in touch with Yolanda

Key Quotes by Yolanda:

● I feel as though when you begin to compare your process to somebody else’s process, you really dishonor God’s plan for your life, because He is the one that created that plan.

● You’re not behind. You did not miss God. God did not forget you. A lot of times, we are just being hidden. I think people negate that moment of just being hidden and allowing God to prepare you and equip you and give you capacity. How can I prepare to become anything that I don’t even have the capacity for? I have to be hidden.

● We really have to be cognizant of the discernment between a door of convenience and a door of calling.

● When God sanctions something over your life, you cannot allow comparison to talk you out of it just because you are uncertain and a little fearful of what other people are doing.

● When we can shift what our eyes are taking in and filtering, then we can shift what is being placed in our spirit and close that door to the spirit of comparison.

● Be confident in God’s plan for you, and He’ll do the rest.

Reva hart, host intereviews Tina Sullivan.
Tina Sullivan is the founder and Owner of Mamas Arc, an organization through which she helps struggling moms discover their God given identity and reclaim peace in their lives. She does so by helping them take small courageous steps that lead to their goals and vision in life.
Being a mom is a tough job. As a new mom, you slowly lose your sense of identity and independence even without knowing it.
So many moms are too busy caring for everyone else in the household that they have no more energy left to cater for themselves.
With a loss of their identity, new moms end up erecting new towers of identity in the form of impulse shopping, starting a blog, crafting, posting on social media. Etc
Every activity that you engage in as a mother is because of a routine that you’ve been programmed to.
You have so much to do in a single day, that you have no time to step back and renew your physical, mental and spiritual health.
Stay tuned into the show and find out the steps you can take to be the woman,mother and wife that God planned you to be.
Tina’s story.
Now a mom of four, Tina got her first child when she got married to her husband, a first year medical student at Bay Area college.
When this happened, Tina decided to sacrifice her teaching career in order to become a better mother and partner. All this whilst her husband was studying and providing for them.
It’s when Tina got her second child a year later that everything began to shift. She began to feel empty and unhappy.
She was  ashamed of her unhappiness because she had what society deems a perfect life: A hardworking and providing husband, and two healthy babies. What more did she want?
Tina then sought the help of counsellors in order to help recover her mental peace. She was turned away by most of them. To the counsellors, Tina didn’t have any problems to fix. There are people out there with actual trauma and depression, ‘Tina should be grateful for the life she has.’
Healing
Healing can only happen when you decide to view and love yourself the way God does.
A lot of people criticize and judge themselves for not having the perfectly good life.
The only way to break the circle of mental fatigue is through accepting yourself for who you are.
Rediscovering your identity in God
Tina helps women take small actions over long periods of time in order to achieve their life goals.
By doing this, Tina helps her clients build their faith in God’s love for them, and what they do.
Quotes
It doesn't matter what other people will think, do what you have to do in order to become the mom and wife you want to be.
Healing begins when you choose to see and love yourself the way God does. It begins when you step into God’s light and start seeing your worth through God’s eyes.
Believing in God’s love for you is what should root your life. This core belief is unshakeable, and you can never really take a step forward in life without being grounded in God’s love.
If you can focus your actions on loving God, then you’ll be able to love and serve other people.  Fear based actions on the other hand only build shame and resentment for oneself and others.

Quoted:
-That pain you experienced as a child was necessary. Because of what you endured, God gave you insight and a gift to see what most couldn’t be able to bear. God reveals to you because He trusts you to pray and war for those too weak to war for themselves. It was not in vain.
-Sometimes God will reveal not for you to react but to restore you. You can’t change the past or even the actions of others but you can obey God and get up and fulfill the purpose that He created you for. Keep going.
19 years ago, I attempted to end my life but God blocked it. I survived it! I used to walk around in shame and hiding from everyone, because of the embarrassment that I felt and shame I caused to those that loved me. But how many of you know that we are overcomers by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony! (Rev. 12:11)

Reva Hart, host and Towannia talk about teaching our children financial literacy. Towannia is the CEO of Six Seeds, a company that offers a diverse range of services to help individuals with their finances, budgets, credit education, and financial literacy.
Towannia is also an author and advocate for financial literacy in local schools. This includes daycares, elementary schools, group homes and middle schools.
She’s committed to the life-long learning of Financial education and how to equip society with all the necessary tools and resources to become the best they can be in financial matters.
Towannia’s Journey into Financial Education
When she was growing up, Towannia couldn’t help but notice how her parents always took care of all the bills and still managed to save.
His father in particular, took up the role of providing all the basic home needs, and living in line with his retirement plans.
Towannia’s life path into Financial Education was only magnified when she took a Business and Finance course in college.
When she graduated, Towannia took note of how much her peers and other individuals were struggling to keep up with their bills, all because of overspending or impulse buying.
Educating your kids on financial literacy.
Research shows that children benefit a lot from early financial education. When you mould them with the necessary information at a tender age, children grow up to be responsible with their money, and this helps them cope with challenges like; limit setting, planning and budgeting, resisting impulse buying needs, and saving for the future.
Towannia is a believer in educating kids early on the subject of financial literacy. She does this by engaging little children in fun activities such as board games, fun books and field trips.
Using schools to educate kids on spending habits.
Towannia runs an NGO Program called the Building Blocks foundation.
Through this program, Towannia hopes to implement financial literacy as a course in the schools that lack this unit.
If you enforce financial education on children while they’re both at school and at home, then they have no option but to adapt and live by the culture of healthy financial habits.
