    My Abortion Story

    Today, 6/24/2022, the Supreme Court overthrew Roe vs Wade & set back women's rights 50 years.  Abortion is a moral and personal issue and should not be a criminal or legal issue.  A woman should have the right to do with her body what she wants. Whatever choice she makes will have consequences, and she will have to live with those consequences. In this episode, I tell my abortion story. I had the right to get one.  If you've had an abortion and have never talked about it or are feeling guilt and shame, please reach out to someone. If you don't have anyone, please reach out to me. I'm on FB and IG @drendathomasrichards

    If money was your lover .....

    If money was your lover, would you treat it differently? Are you living out your grandparents' beliefs about money? Where did your money beliefs come from? Around the 31 minute mark, Heather explains Akashic Records. Near the 40 minute mark, Heather gets fired up about women who feel guilty for taking a day for themselves but no one says anything about men taking the weekend off to hunt, golf, or watch football. Debt is discussed starting at 46 minutes in. Heather's thoughts on Dave Ramsey start at 58 minutes. Bottom line, if you want to change your beliefs around money and debt, do it from a place of love & compassion instead of judgment and shame. You can find Heather on IG @the_heather_doran or catch her podcast "Unblock Your Money Sh!t".

    Behind the Pole: Sober Dancer

    Go behind the pole with me and meet Brianna, a sober dancer, who shares her story of drugs, rehab, redemption, dancing, and faith.  It took 8 stints in rehab for it to finally "click" for Brianna. She shares encouraging words for people who are struggling or who are addicts and for people with shaky faith:  There's always hope. We discuss her first time on stage, the various types of strip clubs, her move to Vegas, becoming a feature entertainer, what it's like dancing sober, and how her faith has evolved throughout the different chapters in her life. Fun interview! ****** If you’re a disillusioned and/or doubting Christian, join me in my new Facebook Group called "Burned Out On Religion." It’s a safe place to explore and question what life (&/or faith) would be like without the dogma.

Nuggets from Padma: It's never the other person's fault. It's a button pushed within you. Work on yourself first. There's a reason why you were attracted to a person in the first place. We find partners to fill the void. You can find Padma at the following places: www.padmaali.com IG: @padmaali Podcast: Create Your Vibrant Life

    Meet Candace: Married mom of three little girls who overcame cancer twice (2 different forms of cancer at that).! She also became a IV drug addict, then drug dealer, and finally a prison inmate. In Part 1 you get to know Candace and hear about her spiral into addiction and how she became a drug dealer. You'll hear about her being mom by day and drug dealer by night and how she ended up walking away from her family to deal drugs "full time."
