Susan is my friend, however her deep story was new to me. Growing up with an alcoholic Dad, an uninvolved Mom but having huge faith and an innate sense her upbringing was wrong, she knew she was strong enough to weather the storm. Pregnant as a Senior in High School, married (for 24 years) and a military dependent with 4 children, it took years for Susan to stop feeling worthless, start an amazing career selling jewelry and go back to college. --- Send in a voice message:

Melanie was a blast, but I'm being selfish. She got up at the butt crack of dawn to talk with me. I use video so I connect better to the people I interview and I got to watch the sunrise out the window behind her, over the ocean, off the Gulf Coast in Australia! Plus, we're both dorks. So there is that. We discussed moving, being married, living through a plane crash, fire, floods, death, cyclones, being sick and stress. --- Send in a voice message:

Sometimes I interview someone with a story so incredible that I'm in awe and Stacy is one of those. Being married to a sociopath, blaming herself, being removed from family and friends, moving often, living above her means, and how insidious this type of personality and abuse is was her life. Going from feeling like you're crazy, being afraid and then showered with love was a crazy life for over a decade - especially with children. Stacy fought back for herself and her kids and moved forward. ---

Shari has a story that's SO relatable. Wanting to lose weight, not understanding why it isn't happening, feeling stressed and overwhelmed with life. We realized we're from the same part of the country and have the same food loves from New England. Discussing her Mom's triple bypass at 63 years old and knowing she didn't want that to be her was life changing as was investing in herself. Self-care is of the utmost importance in order to give back to others which she now does with abundance! ---

Amanda has such a lovely way of viewing things so opposite of how many of us do. Kind of like working backwards. This allows her to view herself with more self-esteem, schedule her life in a way that gives her the most freedom financially and with her family. Battling Crohn's Disease at a young age was incredibly tough. Amanda is brave and redirected what was a negative situation into something incredibly positive. --- Send in a voice message:
