In this episode, we're diving deep into what it really means to survive the storm—not just the physical storms hitting our nation right now, but those unexpected life storms that knock the wind out of you when you least expect it. You know how you can be driving down a Florida highway with nothing but sunshine, and suddenly you're in the middle of a torrential downpour? That's exactly how life hits us, fam.

Today, we're talking about spiritual preparation, divine protection, and why being grounded in your faith BEFORE the crisis hits changes everything. This isn't just about getting through hard times—it's about US, our community, and knowing that we're never facing these storms alone. I'm breaking down how God protects us from every single angle: above us like an umbrella, around us like a protective bubble, in front of us leading the way, behind us cleaning up our past, and beneath us as our rock-solid foundation. You are completely covered, family.

Whether you're facing job loss, dealing with grief, navigating health challenges, or just trying to prepare for whatever's coming next, this episode is for YOU. We're not just talking motivation here—we're talking survival, faith, and the absolute certainty that you WILL make it through your storm because you've got the ultimate protection.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the power of community, career clarity, and creating the professional support system we were promised but never received. Today, I'm sharing Coach Amy Pierre-Russo's incredible journey from HR professional watching people struggle in silence to becoming a transformational coach building Harmonious Moms—a community dedicated to helping mothers, especially women of color and first-generation professionals, navigate career transitions with harmony instead of overwhelm.

This isn't just about career coaching—it's about US, our resilience, and how we can turn setbacks into breakthroughs when we have the right support. With 300,000+ Black women recently laid off, Coach Amy provides the roadmap for moving from crisis to clarity, from isolation to integration, and from surviving to thriving.

Remember that feeling when your professional success stopped feeling like success? We're exploring why this disconnection happens and exactly what to do about it. Coach Amy breaks down the critical difference between coaching (forward-looking goals) and therapy (processing the past), explains her "harmony over balance" approach, and shares how Harmonious Moms offers monthly connection calls, AI audits, content marketing training, and most importantly—a village that celebrates your ambitions instead of questioning them.

In this episode, we're diving deep into what it truly means to stand in the gap and honor the ultimate sacrifice. Today, we're reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy—not just as a historical figure, but as a man who gave EVERYTHING so that we could have opportunities today. This isn't just about remembering history—it's about US, our responsibility, and how we answer the question: "Are we willing to stand for something?"

I'm sharing my personal experience visiting the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, standing on the balcony where Dr. King was assassinated, and feeling the weight of what true martyrdom means. Family, we're facing backward movement on civil rights in 2025, and Dr. King's dream—the one that included whites, blacks, Jews, Gentiles, EVERYONE—is still unfulfilled. From John Lewis to Jesse Jackson to Coretta Scott King, these warriors stood in the gap. Now it's our turn.
