Consistency, Vulnerability, and Healing: A Talk with Dr. Lakisha James, #708
We all go through our own phases - some are beautiful, and some aren’t.
And how you see life after every challenge all depends on you, choosing where to look.
Do you focus on what has already happened and dwell on it? Or do you get up and go on your way to healing?
In today’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Lakisha James - an events planner, an author, and a survivor. We talk about her life’s darkest days, and how she was able to channel the negativity to become her light.
Now, she serves a life of service for others - using her experiences to create a safe haven for people who are in the middle of their pain. She shared how she was able to adapt despite the uncomfortableness and inconvenience, coming out happier and stronger than ever.
How do you find purpose in pain? What do you need to do to find your calling in life? How do you start believing that your life will get better?
