| 20 May 2023 | 22 | Understanding and Overcoming Self-Sabotage with Tabitha Azor | 00:28:21 | |
Welcome to today's episode where we will be discussing the topic of self-sabotage. Self-sabotage is a common behavior that can hold us back from achieving our goals and living our best lives. Self-sabotage is any behavior or thought pattern that undermines our own success and well-being. It can manifest in many ways such as procrastination, self-doubt, negative self-talk, and self-destructive behaviors. Self-sabotage can be conscious or unconscious but always leads to negative consequences. Self-sabotage can stem from a variety of reasons such as fear of failure, fear of success, low self-esteem, and past traumas. It can also be a way of protecting ourselves from disappointment or rejection. However, self-sabotage ultimately prevents us from reaching our full potential and living a fulfilling life. The first step in overcoming self-sabotage is to recognize it. Pay attention to your thoughts and behaviors and identify any patterns that may be holding you back. Once you have identified your self-sabotaging behaviors, you can challenge them. During this conversation, Tabitha and I will explore what self-sabotage is, why we do it, and how we can overcome it. Tabitha Azor is a Brooklyn-based licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She is a Christ-following Haitian-American and mother of 2. Her heart for the hurting has allowed her to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family therapy. Her passions are to help women feel empowered and confident, increase their self-love, believe they deserve healthy relationships, and help couples transform their marriages to live healthier lives and build stronger families. Tabitha started NYC Healing Center to create healing spaces for people to transform their lives. In her spare time, Tabitha loves to create, dance, sew, and do arts and crafts. In this episode Tabitha shares:

This week, I sat down with Rose Jones, who inspires women through her story of being a domestic violence survivor. Rose is honest and straightforward, keeping it real with others and her community about the struggles she faces. She prides herself on telling her truth and creating a safe space for other women to do the same. Rose has accomplished a lot in her life. She is a mother of 4 beautiful children, a certified life and accountability coach, certified in several courses on domestic violence and trauma recovery, and graduated from college. But Rose does not let that define her. She knows her life is her power and that her worth comes from who she is, not what she accomplished, experienced, or gained. Her goal is to help other women who have experienced similar experiences like domestic violence, trauma, and self–hate to understand their worth, embrace their stories, and heal from the traumatic situation through self-love, self-awareness, and community belongingness. What makes her an expert in this field is that she doesn't consider herself a highly expert; she is just a woman trying to help another woman get her life back. She says, "God is the true expert. He's just living out his purpose through Me." In this episode, Rose:

It's the highest mountain in Africa and the highest single free-standing mountain above sea level in the world. How cool is that?! A living example of grit, tenacity, laser focus, and resiliency!

| 27 Feb 2023 | 11 | Suffering Redeemed: How to Find Strength, Hope, and Joy in the Midst of Suffering with Author Karis Meier | 00:35:15 | |
Has there ever been in a time in your life when you questioned why you were suffering? Suffering physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually. We don’t tend to know why God allows some experiences or ailments to happen to us but we can still hold fast to His promises during those difficult times. This week I interviewed Karis Meier, the Author of Suffering Redeemed: Finding strength to endure, purpose in pain, and hope for tomorrow. It’s been seventeen years since Karis can remember feeling well in her body. She has learned to live feeling sick and in pain, but it certainly doesn’t get easier with time. In 2006 she contracted a few species of rare intestinal parasites while traveling overseas. But, the diagnosis went undetected for several months. Karis started feeling sick amid the process of getting married and moving to Alaska, where her husband was stationed in the army. A few months later he was deployed to Iraq. The doctors kept telling Karis it was nerves but she knew it was more. After losing 25 pounds, and persistent to get more tests done, the parasites were found and then treated. In the weeks that followed, she waited expectantly to start feeling better. But was left disappointed. Every time Karis ate, she felt sick. She was depleted of energy and couldn’t gain the weight back. Stomach pains woke her up in the night and stole her sleep. She felt despair starting to find its way into the core of her being. Time elapsed and by God’s grace, he brought blessings in the midst of her trial. After being told she would never be able to have children, Karis became pregnant with a son. As the army moved her family from place to place, she met many wonderful people who encouraged them on the way. Although life was not what she would have wanted, God faithfully walked with her family each step of the way. Only by her hope in Christ and eternity to come was she able to keep on going every day. She burned to use the illness as an opportunity to share her testimony of hope in God. At the same time, she felt burdened by the fact that she may remain ill and weak for the rest of her life and all she could think about was wanting it to be over. Those were the thoughts that would constantly bring her back to her knees, longing to get the Father’s perspective again. Karis didn’t think things could get worse, but they did. Her heart and flesh were failing her and despair loomed around every corner. The list of bodily ailments continued to grow: intestinal disease, malabsorption, pancreas atrophy, heart arrhythmia, Lyme disease, and peripheral neuropathy.

| 18 Jun 2024 | 48 | Understanding and Overcoming Self-Sabotage with Tabitha Azor REWIND | 00:28:41 | |
Have you ever found yourself getting in your own way of achieving a goal or a job promotion, or shrinking back to old habits when everything seemed to be going well? This feeling of self-sabotage, as it's called, is surprisingly common. Self-sabotage is any behavior or thought pattern that undermines our own success and well-being. It can manifest in many ways, such as procrastination, self-doubt, negative self-talk, and self-destructive behaviors. Self-sabotage can be conscious or unconscious but always leads to negative consequences. It can stem from a variety of reasons, such as fear of failure, fear of success, low self-esteem, and past traumas. It can also be a way of protecting ourselves from disappointment or rejection. However, self-sabotage ultimately prevents us from reaching our full potential and living a fulfilling life. The first step in overcoming self-sabotage is to recognize it. Pay attention to your thoughts and behaviors and identify any patterns that may be holding you back. Once you have identified your self-sabotaging behaviors, you can challenge them. Tabitha Azor is a Brooklyn-based licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She is a Christ-following Haitian-American and mother of 2. Her heart for the hurting has allowed her to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family therapy. Her passions are to help women feel empowered and confident, increase their self-love, believe they deserve healthy relationships, and help couples transform their marriages to live healthier lives and build stronger families. Tabitha started NYC Healing Center to create healing spaces for people to transform their lives. In her spare time, Tabitha loves to create, dance, sew, and do arts and crafts.

Welcome to another empowering episode of "Arise: Living Your Life with Purpose and Confidence." today, I have a remarkable guest who embodies resilience, empowerment, and the unwavering pursuit of purpose. April Barber Scales is a name synonymous with hope and transformation. She's the force behind "Fenced in Fighting for Freedom Advocacy," a startup business committed to advocating for the incarcerated, providing resources, and championing their journey to redemption. April's story is not just a testimony of survival; it's a beacon of inspiration for all. April's life has been a tapestry of challenges, transformation, and service. She spent an astonishing 31 and a half years behind bars, enduring the harsh reality of the justice system. But she emerged from this ordeal stronger, driven by an unyielding determination to make a difference. April's passion project was born from her remarkable journey. Incarcerated at just 15 years old, her driving force was her unborn child, and she was determined to be the parent she never had. Despite the obstacles, she held onto the dream of becoming the mother she aspired to be. Her son eventually grew up to be a Marine, and their bond is a testament to the strength of a mother's love. Beyond her advocacy work, April also juggles a career in home health, caring for residents with dementia. Additionally, she's a personal trainer, exemplifying her commitment to overall well-being. She penned four books during her time in prison, including "Fenced In Fighting for Freedom," a gripping account of her path to incarceration and release, along with "Quotes 365," "31 Days of Growth and Reflection," and "Memoirs of Suzie."
