Doing the W-O-R-K: Women Overcoming Real Khaos (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692948767)

Not so long ago, I sat as shattered and broken woman. A woman full of self-hatred, and feelings of uselessness, believing I was of no value. I was out of steam, and certainly powerless to be fully me. I was constantly fearful. I was living through a series of mishaps: one after another, from bad relationships, a cancer scare, dreams unrealized, to crushed emotions. I was so beat down from all the pain in my life that it felt like a ton of bricks was sitting on my heart. When all you can relate to are the never-ending negative labels and thoughts in your head, they then become real to you and you believe them as truth. On top of all that, having a body image so distorted you spend years avoiding mirrors (especially full-length ones). But hear me scream loudly, out of all that CHAOS I managed to overcome and survive mental let-go's, unsuccessful relationships, a cancer diagnosis, eleven surgeries, a broken self-image, clinical depression, and shattered thinking. I came out of that mess with a message to share, proclaiming it loudly. I obtained my graduate degree in nursing, and was fortunate enough to love the work. It inspired me to press on. Despite those years of pain and brokenness, I took those valuable life lessons and am now walking out my life's vision and purpose. I stand here together with you as a brave and powerful woman with a purpose and a story to tell! I am standing firm on the truth of who I am valuing the women I was created to be. What a privilege for me to now live out my personal mission: As a servant-leader to cultivate, nurture, and inspire the self-worth of women who are called into action. Specifically, those women at that tipping point of seeking destiny and purpose! My vision: To see shattered, hurting women delivered from the weight of life's setbacks, healed, winning over adversity, and living out their life's destiny! Who would have thought by reclaiming my power, standing on my own truth, and finding my value within, I would find me here with you, right now? This is going to be a great ride together. Would you join me on this wonderful and life changing journey in overcoming? The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling. F.
