Abigail Johnston - A True Survivor & Advocate. From Our October Survivor Series

Abigail Johnston is a true survivor. She is a wife and mother of 2 precious boys. Abigail spent over fifteen years participating in various capacities within the foster care and Dependency System along with more than ten years of law practice focused within the Domestic Relations area. 

Abigail closed her law firm after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer but she continues to be an advocate of those in need. Abigail's passion is her family, her faith, and spreading the word about Metastatic Breast Cancer. She encourages everyone to support organizations like www.metavivor.org who give 100% of funds to research for stage 4 metastaic breast cancer.

"Metastatic breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other organs in the body (most often the bones, lungs, liver or brain). ... More commonly, metastatic breast cancer arises months or years after a person has completed treatment for early or locally advanced (stage I, II or III) breast cancer.

As hard as it may be to hear, metastatic breast cancer cannot be cured. Unlike breast cancer that remains in the breast or nearby lymph nodes, you cannot get rid of all the cancer that has spread to other organs.

However, this doesn’t mean metastatic breast cancer can’t be treated." from Nationalbreastcancer.org

POWER PODCAST SERIES: Courtney Shaw, "God Is Pulling You to A New Level!"

God says to us today, "Let me PULL you in the direction I am calling you to....What I'm doing in this season is not going to look like anything I've done in the past."

OMGoodness!!!  Ladies are you ready for this powerful interview? Buckle up...

My favorite quote from this segment:  overwhelmed = paralyzed   overtake = empowered

 

Visit www.CourtneyDawnShaw.com (taken from site)

"Courtney Dawn Shaw is an author, speaker, minister, certified personal trainer TV Host, and the reigning Mrs. Florida America. From a very early age she was a competitive dancer, soccer player, and ran in the Junior Olympics with a winning cross-country team.

 She has worked with clients and churches over the last 10+years, encouraging and inspiring them to live free and healthy lives from the inside out. Her life experience of overcoming body image issues, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, and a near death experience brought her to a place of brokenness and surrender to God. Since her junior year in high school, she has pursued the fulfillment of God’s purpose and plan for her life. With years of experience in the fitness industry, she has been given a clear revelation and message on where true value, beauty, and health come from.

 Her platform as Mrs. Florida America and beyond is to work with individuals and teams of people who can develop and implement solutions which will bring an end to the growing epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and any related diseases. Approximately 90 million Americans are considered obese, and doctors agree that children being born today may be the first generation to not outlive their parents due to Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, today it is all too common for most everyone in America to have someone in their family being affected.

 As a wife, mother of 2 young children, and a certified personal trainer, she have a passion to ensure that her family is leading a healthy and fit lifestyle. It is her purpose to help educate, equip, and empower families to do the same."

Bobbi Govanus: Fear of Failure & Rebuilding. From the Shutting Down Fear & Anxiety Series

Today author, mentor, leader and Marketing Maven Bobbi Govanus joins us to talk about overcoming fear of starting over! Please share this encouraging word with anyone who has experienced fear of failure. Check out the links below to Bobbi's book & the Womens Executive Council site. THANK YOU Bobbi for all you do for women and the community! ABOUT BOBBI GOVANUS After a thirty year career in retail selling everything from socks to stocks, with only a computer and a plan, Bobbi Govanus launched her own small business and soon realized that she had discovered a true niche within the computer training industry. Bobbi quickly grew that business from the basement of her Minnesota home by listening closely to her customers and providing customized computer training and solutions. The company eventually brokered over 1000 high-caliber computer trainers across the United States and Canada and even served clients as far away as England, Japan, Germany and India. She grew the company to sales of over 20 million. In celebration of these and other accomplishments, Entrepreneur Magazine recognized Bobbi Govanus as their "Home-based" Business Owner of the year and Minnesota honored her as their Women in Business Advocate. Bobbi learned through her years in business that the most important aspect of owning a business is making sales, the second is getting paid. She currently helps businesses accomplish the second by serving as the VP of Marketing for Retriever Payment Systems providing solutions for businesses to take credit cards safely and grow their client base using Reward and Gift Card Programs. In 2015 Bobbi created the Reinvention Retreat at Sea and annually brings facilitators together to coach and assist attendees who want to make the rest of their life, the best of their life. She is a master event planner and coordinates all the details for everything from Galas to Golf Tournaments!
