Hello MaximizHers we’re back with a new season opener and let me tell you now! Go ahead and lace up those cute running shoes because you might start running for Jesus on this one! 🏃🏾‍♀️ On this season 5 opener of The Hello MaximizHer Podcast I invite Occupational Nurse Karen Davis to share her OvercomHer story about how she fought and overcame cancer. Surviving cancer is anything but easy. Doing it once may be the toughest thing anyone may ever do but doing it twice it is quite remarkable! Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t respect age, gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status or a healthy life style. When tragedy strikes, we are often faced with three choices: You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or let it strengthen you. Karen chose the latter. This is episode is about a woman who was determined to not just survive but to overcome, cancer. #empoweringwomen #overcomingadversity #cancersurvivor #thehellomaximizherpodcast Support this movement of empowering and elevating women by LIKING, SUBSCRIBING, and SHARING this podcast. And if you really are a giver drop us a 5 STAR REVIEW because that's the only thing we accept here! 😉 For more information about the host follow her on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com empowher_consulting/ Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/empowHERconsulting/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karabarker

It’s a wrap! MaximizHers, as I reflect on this entire season, I am still in awe. Why, because I can’t help but to think about all of my guests this entire season who were brave enough when it probably was easier to remain silent but they did it anyway and shared their truth and one’s brave story. Have you ever been told to take a minute and really think about what you just went through before it’s all over? A lotta folks say it’s important to soak it all in, especially when you know something’s about to end. Reflecting and appreciating what you’ve experienced can help you feel more grateful and understand what you learned along the way. In this season finale episode we are going to savor all of the brave moments of this season. Every nugget, every morsel, every bite! Enjoy! See you in the new year!…

Marriage be hard? Ha! That's like saying water is wet. It's a never-ending adventure, full of laughs, tears, and endless memories. Marriage is not for the faint of heart, but it's an adventure that reveals new layers and depths as the years go by. The journey is full of laughter, tears, and memories that last a lifetime, making it a never-ending rollercoaster of emotions. In today’s conversation we bring on my hubs Lonnie to have an H.O.T conversation that is honesty, open, and transparency to discuss the ups and downs of marriage. Effective communication is a cornerstone of successful marriages, fostering trust, understanding, and emotional connection between partners. This conversation is full of energy and positivity!

We are tackling a sensitive topic this week on the pod in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month. Friends, you are not alone. ✋🏾 All of us have felt anxiety one time or another, whether it be before a big test or public speaking. However, some people experience anxiety more than others. On this week’s episode of The Hello MaximizHer podcast, I invite my new empowHered friend from New Zealand, Summer Williford, to share her personal story of overcoming depressive thoughts and her ongoing struggle with anxiety BUT with Jesus + therapy she has a new perspective centered on optimism and hope. If you are not personally affected by mental illness, it is highly likely that you know someone – a family member or friend – who is struggling with mental health issues. What you suppress will eventually manifest in the most undesirable ways. Asking for help is the first step in getting the support and resources you need to live a more rewarding and fulfilling life - mind, body and soul. Tag a friend and spread the message. #thehellomaximizherpodcast #breakthestigma #mentalhealthawareness #dontbesilent…
