    [Part 2] Pursuing Purpose w/ Dr. Tammy McCotter & Dr. LaNysha Adams

    In part 2 of our series 'Pursuing Purpose', we welcome Dr. Tammy McCotter and Dr. LaNysha Adams to our table, where we unwrap the complexities of living with a clear purpose. We delved into Dr. McCotter's remarkable journey through nearly three decades in law enforcement, a path lit by her unwavering passion for humanity. Meanwhile, Dr. Adams narrated her experience of interweaving her roles as a mother, wife, and daughter with her cultural roots, offering us a vivid picture of how our actions can both stem from and shape our identity. Life's patterns and choices frequently mirror the deeper currents of our purpose, even when they're not explicitly acknowledged. Our conversation took a turn towards self-empowerment that encourages us to harness the stillness of life's crossroads to reassess our direction. Dr. McCotter, supplementing this perspective with her own experience, advocated for practical tools like affirmations to steer through life's uncertainty. Together, we painted a landscape illustrating how the quest for purpose is a voyage on which we're all embarked — a route punctuated by reflection, discovery, and, sometimes, redirection. Wrapping up, we tackled the oft-unspoken struggle of feeling inadequate in a world saturated by endless streams of online perfection. Sharing personal stories, from novel holiday celebrations to deeper journeys of self-discovery, we chiseled out the idea that purpose isn't self-serving; it's about uplifting others. Dr. McCotter and Dr. Adams, through their wisdom and experiences, reminded us that every step taken authentically shapes not just our own lives but also the larger tapestry of the world we inhabit. So, as you set out to forge your path, remember that it's the genuine pursuit of purpose that will create a life resonant with meaning and impact. Want to connect with Dr. LaNysha?

    Embracing The Journey: The Heart of Becoming w/ Latoya Hammond

    Join us on this transformative journey with the remarkable LaToya Hammond as she shares her wisdom on the art of 'becoming' our true selves. Listen in as we discuss the importance of simply 'being' as a precursor to growth, setting the stage for LaToya's inspiring insights. She shares her mission, highlighting the power of personal responsibility in guiding others, especially women, to discover their unstoppable identity in Christ, beyond their struggles and the labels placed upon them. LaToya's heartfelt stories illuminate the profound impact of divine assurance, personal affirmation, and the significance of nurturing supportive relationships in our lives. In our conversation, we acknowledge the emotional labor involved in inner work, particularly when confronting deep-seated pain. LaToya and I explore how validating and facing these tough emotions is a crucial step towards healing, rather than offering hollow comforts. We delve into strategies for working through emotional trauma, emphasizing honesty, kindness, active listening, and creating safe spaces for expression. My personal journey of faith, love from those close to me, and therapy serve as pillars for this discussion, as we both stress the necessity of vulnerability with oneself and with God to truly embrace and grow comfortable with the process of becoming. As we round out this heartfelt dialogue, we focus on the emotional journey of healing and self-acceptance post-divorce. LaToya and I examine the importance of self-compassion and the understanding that recovery is anything but linear. By peeling back the layers, we see that setbacks are a natural part of progress. With practical advice on coping strategies like journaling and reaching out to trusted friends, we aim to provide a guide for listeners navigating their own paths of healing. This episode is a reminder that each experience shapes us, aligning with our divine design. Want to connect with Latoya?
