    Book 2 Sneak Peek - An Unplanned Detour: Fear, Sex & A French Chateau

    This episode feels especially vulnerable. I’m sharing another excerpt from my upcoming book, this time exploring intimacy, sexuality, shame, worthiness and what it means to stop measuring myself by whether someone chooses me…plus a very exciting next “chapter” for me (pun intended). Tune into my essay, An Unplanned Detour, a deeply personal piece about physical intimacy, a scar that tells a deep story, and finally learning to separate my worth from rejection, relationships, and other people’s choices. This is about allowing ourselves to tell the truth, meet the hidden parts of who we are and love ourselves without containment. Highlights: (05:14) - The Chateau I stalked for years somehow became real (10:30) - A 2am email, a dream opportunity, and the power of finally stepping back into the author in me (15:47) - The moment a mark on my body became about so much more than a scar (20:13) - I am not measured by who chooses me, rejects me or walks away (23:09) - What changed when I realized I had been hiding my own pain from myself Resources: Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15 Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

    Using Social Media for Good: Creating Actual Change for Domestic Abuse Survivors with Chelsey De Groot (PART 2)

    What happens when you stop letting fear cripple you and open up about everything you’ve endured? Chances are you’re going to create more change than staying silent. Join us for Part 2 of my powerful interview with Advocate and Leadership Coach, Chelsey De Groot in our Landon Hail Press Author Community. In this episode, I’m joined by Chelsey and members of our author community for a deeply impactful conversation about courage, visibility, and what happens in real life when we let our real lives shape the stories we tell - even if we only have a few hundred social media followers. We talk about sharing sensitive content, building genuine connections instead of chasing viral trends, and why the right message reaching one person can matter more than thousands of views. We also explore identity, advocacy, discomfort, and the choice to keep showing up even when being seen feels terrifying. Highlights: (03:37) - How one judge’s response showed Chelsey that her story could create real change (09:18) - Why the most powerful content often comes directly from the life you’re already living (11:50) - The unexpected conversation with a police officer that proved one post can have massive impact (19:30) - How manufacturing content often means you’re holding back in your real life (23:22) - What actually changes when you finally decide your voice deserves to be heard (31:26) - Owning your story without shrinking, apologizing, or waiting for the perfect moment Additional links: Visit Chelsey’s website for Support & Leadership Resources: rootsandrisecc.com Follow Chelsey on Instagram for her “Dear Officer” series and more!

    Using Social Media for Good: Creating Actual Change for Domestic Abuse Survivors with Chelsey De Groot (PART 1)

    I’m joined by author and advocate, Chelsey De Groot for Part 1 of a Guest Interview in the Landon Hail Press Author Community where we talk about the actual difference between impact and entertainment. Chelsey opens up about experiencing domestic violence with her daughter’s father, unexpectedly losing her job, and choosing to finally publish her book, realizing that the hardest disruption in her life became a powerful invitation to move forward. We talk about advocacy, policy change, and how the biggest shifts often happen from the smallest social media accounts because intention will always be more effective than popularity…in real life, that is. Chelsey’s story is a reminder that moving the needle to create systemic change isn’t about followers and likes - it shows up in challenged policies, difficult conversations, and the courage your honesty gives someone else - in Chelsey’s case: Judges, Crowns, and Police Officers. Highlights: (03:52) Why advocacy often requires saying the uncomfortable truth (05:24) Destruction becoming the green light to take the leap (07:56) How rejection opened up channels for change (16:15) The experiences that transformed personal pain into public advocacy (19:50) How one person’s story can influence training, policy, and real impact (24:21) The very bold (and very risky) social media decision that had messages flooding in Additional links: Visit Chelsey’s website for Support & Leadership Resources Follow Chelsey on Instagram for her “Dear Officer” series and more!

    Confusion or Denial? Your “I Don’t Know” Is Actually Fear

    Get ready for a sneak peek into my powerful session for my dear friend, Princeton Clark’s “Breakthrough Leadership Summit”, where I had the honor of speaking to his incredible community. I get really honest about the BS we tell ourselves and how 99% of the time, “I don’t know” means: “I DO know…and I’m terrified.” You’ll hear about the biggest catalyst in my life that led me to leaving corporate, being thrust into motherhood, finally writing the book I postponed for ten years, and building a publishing company from a truth I almost kept hidden. We explore people-pleasing, vulnerability, self-trust, and why your biggest breakthrough might begin with one uncomfortable conversation. Highlights: (03:01) - Why nobody else can make you braver (06:27) - “I don’t know” is actually fear in disguise (10:04) - The real cost of keeping everyone comfortable (17:05) - Making my son my reason, not my excuse (28:04) - The beliefs, safety, and conditions behind your story (42:28) - The wall in your mind may have an open door Additional links: Follow Princeton Clark on Instagram *DM him ‘Breakthrough’ for the link to the full virtual summit!

    The “M” Word: Why Wealth & Minimalism Are Not Mutually Exclusive

    Taking it back to my book, “The Less Effect: Design Your Life For Happiness & Purpose”, diving into Chapter 2: The “M” Word. We unpack two of my favorite subjects: money and minimalism, and why choosing a life of less does not mean settling for less income, opportunity, or impact. Minimalism is about removing what no longer fits so you can create more room for what genuinely matters. We touch on how my own inherited beliefs around money were shaped, challenged, and eventually transformed. From manifestation rituals that got me nowhere to the practical power of clearing physical, emotional, and mental clutter - this episode is a reminder that abundance and simplicity can absolutely co-exist. Highlights: (01:39) - Why minimalism and wealth are not opposites (03:31) - Getting curious: Questioning the money beliefs you inherited (05:27) - Giving yourself permission to want more (07:06) - How negative money beliefs quietly limit your potential (08:18) - The manifestation lesson that changed everything (10:13) - The hill I will die on: Creating space leads to your greatest abundance Resources: Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WNTER15 Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
