    Meet phenomenal woman Felicity DiPette who is dedicated to empowering the marginalized.

    In the words of life coach and award-winning author Iyanla Vanzant in her book Until Today, written in 2000. “Society, with its structures, expectations, and divisions, has fostered certain ideas about women that are not always flattering. Many people believe that strong women are not feminine and that assertive women cannot be trusted. My all-time favorite is that women who exhibit any degree of clarity about who they are and what they want are dangerous.  We won’t bother to mention the myths that women are not as smart as men or cannot handle money. The point is that some people believe these things about women, and some are women! Labels define. Often, labels set up expectations. Labels prescribe how much, how little, and sometimes how long a thing can be used. In order for a woman to realize that she is more than a mother, more than a wife, more than what she earns or what she does to earn a living, she must know her own worth. It means she must test herself and her limits. A woman must learn to describe herself and establish her own expectations. A woman must encourage herself. She must support and nurture herself. She must be willing to be disliked. She must be willing to violate the descriptions and confines placed on her. Until today you may have placed defining, confining labels of unworthiness on women. For today, think of women as people; think of women as human beings and doing. They are the divine energy of God.” My guest is doing the work today, paying the dues, and gracefully managing the rewards. Meet Ms. Felicity Smith, a phenomenal woman with a servant’s heart. The first time I met her, she was like a breath of fresh air. Her story will amaze and encourage and excite anyone who has ever felt left out, left behind, or left over. But let me let her connect with you personally. Enjoy the podcast.

    REWIND:Were it not for those who care with Second Story’s Abigail Brougher

    From an outsider’s perspective, it looked like “Santiago” was simply a rebellious kid. At Second Story for Teens in Crisis, however, counselors worked on getting to know him and learning why he was acting out. He opened up and the counselors were there for him, helping him rewrite the narrative for his future. When Timothy began attending Second Story's Safe Youth Project he was struggling in school. The program coordinator worked to tutor him in the subjects he found especially challenging, and at the end of the school year he won an award for his hard work and progress! When Marley was kicked out of her home she was almost relieved -- it was her escape from years of abuse. She quickly faced new challenges on her own, though: poverty, anxiety, and homelessness. Now, Marley is a high school graduate. Learn how Second Story helped her get there. When “Robert” graduated from Second Story for Homeless Youth he felt grateful for the counseling, guidance and help to find a stable place to live. But something stood out even more: he was grateful to know that Second Story staff believed in him, something he hadn’t felt before from the people in his life. Second Story transforms the lives of children, youth and their families by providing safe havens and opportunities for them to grow and thrive. Second Story transforms the lives of children and youth, helping them stay safe, make positive decisions, achieve educational success, and overcome personal crises. My guest, Abigail Brougher, Second Story Communications Director, shares the power of Second Story through a podcast with one of the many success stories. Stay close and be inspired.

    Meet phenomenal woman and physician, Dr. Tiffany Simpson.

    This month, Frankly Speaking shines its spotlight once more on phenomenal women, exploring how we navigate our shared journeys, weathering both rainbows and storms with unwavering courage and resolve. We are a journey unfolding, a process ever in motion. Even in stillness, we move—loving, serving, nurturing, encouraging, empowering. We are love in action. Yet sometimes, we find ourselves caught between the comfort of what was and the promise of what could be, and we wonder: “Am I enough?” By the way, the right answer is a resounding YES! For a woman to truly see that she is more than a mother, more than a wife, more than her paycheck or her profession, she must first recognize her own worth. She must dare to test her boundaries, define herself on her own terms, and set her own expectations. She must become her own encourager, her own nurturer, and be brave enough to risk disapproval. She must be willing to break free from the labels and limits others try to impose. This week’s conversation introduces a woman who has learned to walk confidently in her worth—as a wife, mother to three lively daughters, caretaker of four pets, and the managing physician of her neonatology practice. Her story is told with warmth and joy, though we know challenges are woven into her reality. Still, she has discovered how to keep her circumstances from defining her. Meet Dr. Tiffany Simpson. Listen and be inspired—it is like sharing coffee with a friend.
