Dream to Rise Cynthia Encinas-Concordia

This teacup, once a prisoner of abuse, now stands as a symbol of survival. It endured the shattering force of violence yet refused to be broken.

With each crack, it absorbed the pain, transforming it into strength. With each sip, the scars fade, replaced by a newfound sense of peace. It whispers tales of resilience, of overcoming the darkest of nights to greet the dawn with unwavering resolve. It stands as a reminder that even in the depths of despair, there is hope.

So, let us raise our cups, not just in celebration of tea, but in homage to the survivors among us. May we draw strength from our courage, and may our resilience be a beacon of light in the darkest of times. For in the simple act of sipping tea, we find solace, we find healing, and above all, we find the power to persevere.

Let us listen to Miss Liz, who is an author, international speaker and founder/creator of Miss Liz Teatime and Parties, who's making a difference one cup at a time.

Overcoming the burden of trauma requires determination and unwavering support. It's about acknowledging the pain without letting it define one's identity and finding the courage to confront the shadows of the past while embracing the light of hope for the future.

Ultimately, the process of healing is not linear, but it is transformative. With time and perseverance, survivors can emerge from the darkness. It's a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and ultimately, self-liberation. We find our voice from others; they serve as a testament to the human spirit.

Let us welcome, Marie McKenzie!

In a world often clouded by challenges and uncertainties, there exists an invaluable currency and that is kindness.

Every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the potential to create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond the initial gesture. Like a pebble tossed into a still pond, a single act of compassion can create ripples that spread far and wide, touching the lives of those in need. Every moment of empathy has the potential to make a meaningful impact on someone else's life. We believe that everyone has the capacity to make a difference.

Let us listen to our guest, Sai Gonzalez, a mindfulness coach whose objective is to serve people seeking inner-peace and clarity to cultivate mindfulness and emotional resilience so that they can embrace life’s challenges with grace and help them discover true joy within themselves.

Much love,

Dream to Rise

Let's delve into the realities faced by women in abusive situations and explore pathways to freedom. Amid life's fiercest storms, there exists a profound grace that guides us through even the darkest of times.

Domestic violence is a harrowing reality for far too many individuals, trapping them in a cycle of fear, manipulation, and despair. Yet, amidst the chaos and turmoil, there is an inner resilience that yearns for freedom, a quiet strength that refuses to be extinguished. Through prayer and manifestation, survivors of domestic violence find the inner strength to transcend their circumstances and rewrite their stories. They emerge from the storm with a newfound sense of purpose and resilience, ready to embrace the boundless possibilities that await them.

Our guest, Lorrainne Robinson, is the Painless Piano Coach.


After nearly losing her ability to play piano due to extreme pain in her hands and arms, she found a mentor who helped her release tension and instead work with her body. This sparked her mission to empower fellow pianists with the same advanced techniques, showing them how to avoid and alleviate repetitive-motion injuries. She was not aware that the past emotional pains which she carried all along, contributed to her physical pain. Resilience is the backbone of her story.

Let us listen to Lorrainne's story.

In life, we often face challenges that test our strength and resolve. These challenges can come in many forms.



Our guest, Martie Smith, a bilingual coach, personal trainer, and Air Force veteran who not only served this country but nurtured a deep passion for helping others unlock their potential. Her journey, punctuated by surgeries and traumas, has given her a wealth of life lessons, which she now shares with unwavering determination.


At every twist and turns, Martie's resilience shone brightly, illuminating the path ahead and inspiring those around her. She faced setbacks with courage, setbacks that would have broken lesser spirits, and emerged stronger with each trial overcome.



It is our resilience, our ability to bounce back from adversity, that shapes our journey and leads us to triumph. It is a constant process of learning, growing, and evolving. And through it all, resilience is not just about overcoming challenges, but about embracing them as opportunities for growth and transformation.

For decades, women have navigated through systemic barriers that attempted to silence their voices. Today, it’s imperative to acknowledge that women are not merely child bearers, they are architects of change, visionaries, and leaders in their respective fields.



Through their groundbreaking work, they've demonstrated that intellect knows no gender and that diversity fosters innovation. By amplifying their voices, embracing diversity, and redefining success beyond traditional paradigms, we create a world where women are recognized and celebrated for their immense contributions.



Let us continue to uplift, support, and empower women as they redefine the narrative and shape the future of our workplaces and society as a whole.
