Changing the Narrative of Your Trauma into Your Off-Broadway Stage Script When Kesha Brown decided to leave her abusive household at the tender age of nine, she could hardly foresee the profound ripple effect it would have on her life and the life of her mother. Join us in this emotionally charged episode of Real Talk, Real Women Breaking the Silence Around Abuse, where Kesha candidly recounts her childhood trauma and the pivotal moments that led her down a path of healing and empowerment. Through the comforting melodies of Mahalia Jackson and the cathartic process of writing her book, "Girl Get Your Power Back," Kesha navigated the treacherous waters of her past, underscoring the crucial role of therapy and continuous healing. In our conversation, we also explore the liberating power of forgiveness and the importance of making conscious choices to break free from toxic cycles.

We delve into her work with the Healing Exchange, where she uses her creative talents to inspire and heal others, emphasizing the importance of narrative and connection in overcoming trauma.  Keisha Brown's story as a previvor [note: We all know "survivor" when you live through hell and back, and you end up still being alive, and having to start over your life with a completely different perspective. A "previvor" is someone who chooses to go through proactive measures, such as mastectomy, to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.] Keisha M. Brown is an advocate, speaker, and writer dedicated to raising awareness about her experiences as a previvor. Having undergone proactive measures to reduce her risk of developing cancer, Keisha shares her inspiring journey and insights into navigating the challenges of being a previvor. Her passion lies in empowering others facing similar circumstances, offering support, guidance, and a voice of understanding in the realm of cancer prevention and wellness.

With her words echoing a message of healing and unity, Keisha shines brightly, showing that even in the midst of challenges, we can find solace in the power of community and the unwavering spirit of the human heart.

Keisha M Brown's book, "Facing the Unknown", is an honest and inspiring account of her journey as a previvor. Through her story, Brown hopes to inspire others to prioritize their own wellness and take steps towards a healthier, happier life. She believes that by making small changes and incorporating self-care into our daily routines, we can all experience the transformative power of wellness.   The weight of grief is heavy, many people think of grief as losing a loved one, but it is much deeper. In the early part of my journey, I didn’t realize I was grieving the loss of my breast until I removed the bandages.   Brown's journey as a previvor, and her path to wellness, is a testament to the power of resilience, self-care, and the human spirit.

During this episode, we navigate the intricate dance between health, fitness, and the soul's yearning for true connection. Kaitie's philosophy on intuitive eating and her mission to replace self-loathing with self-care echo throughout the episode, resonating with anyone who's ever struggled to find balance. The personal anecdotes from her podcast 'Unveiling the Beast' are interwoven with insights into the transformative power of music, storytelling, and the human voice.

She discovered there is a disconnect between mind and body with so many people who just want to be healthy and are confused by all the messages and rules that come with each diet. She helps people get back to their roots by helping them unlearn all these rules by listening to their bodies, paying attention to their behaviors, and throwing their scale away.   Connect with Kaitie on her Website: https://beautifulbeastwithin.com/ on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BeautifulBeastWithin     Do you care about getting featured and published on Real Talk Real Women Breaking the Silence Around Abuse?  Or do you know someone who would be a great fit?

S7E169 Christa Barone's Miraculous Story of a Victorious Fight Against Childhood Cancer With Her Family
Part 2 of this mother-daughter series Christa Barone's Miraculous Story of a Victorious Fight Against Childhood Cancer With Her Family When hope seems like a distant flicker, stories like Christa Barone's reignite the flame. At age 3, Christa was handed a survival chance of a small 3%, yet here she is, 28 years old, happy and thriving, completely healthy, and a beacon of light, celebrating 25 years free of stage 4 neuroblastoma type of cancer. Our conversation peels back layers of her childhood marked by an exceptional joy for hospital visits, a testament to the nurturing cocoon weaved by her family and medical caregivers. Christa's story is a mosaic of misdiagnoses, a mother's intuition sharper than any clinical guesswork, and an experimental therapy that carved her path to remission with a 3% chance of surviving. I'm grateful that they heard this very slim ratio after she was saved from this cancer. Her reflection on these early battles reveals the power of perspective – the ability to see divine orchestration in life's toughest challenges. Transitioning from her journey through cancer to the profound epiphanies about her life's mission and purpose, Christa shares the inception of Wicked Wisdom Consulting. Here, she harnesses her story to light the way for others, guiding coaches and businesses in sculpting their operational blueprints. Christa's story is a reminder of the transformative potential that we all have within us, and that gets to be revealed through adversity, ready to become stepping stones for our growth. We honor her commitment to being a guiding light, alongside a heartfelt birthday tribute to her mother, Michelle Barone, whose insights add rich layers to this episode, and that was published just before this episode, on April 3rd, 2024. Together, their shared wisdom is an invitation to celebrate the impact of positive influence and the joy of helping others find their way in the professional and personal landscapes of their lives.   Listen to Michelle Barone, Christa's mother, recounting this miraculous story of a 3-year-old smart girl fighting for her life with terminal cancer: https://www.realtalk-realwomen.com/e/the-promise-that-saved-michelle-barone-baby-girls-life/    Christa's bio Christa is a Fractional COO, childhood cancer survivor, and lifelong spiritual student. As a Fractional COO, she provides operations insight, guidance, and expertise to entrepreneurs, coaches, and small businesses.
