Ep. 009 - Helping High Level Women Reach the Next Level w/ Angelina Watkins

Be In The Drivers Seat

04/02/22 • 39 min

The best advice comes from the people that have been through whatever it is that you might be going through, and can guide you based on their experience.
This is one of the main things Angelina has taught me in my personal and professional life.
She also said that women don't need to have a high income to be "high level". High level women are women that are self-aware and seeking to improve in every area of their life, on a daily basis.
I'm one of these women myself and these are the types of women Angelina seeks to help in her coaching business.
Are you one of these women? Check out Angelina's podcast below for some nuggets of wisdom and truth to help you get to the next level in whatever journey you're starting, in the middle of, or coming to an end of, in your life.

Lashonda Bourgeois-Lewis
Lewis Law, PLLC - Bankruptcy & Estate Planning
Lashonda talks about the pros and cons of bankruptcy, filing chapter 7, chapter 13, and debt relief.
Can you file for bankruptcy to get rid of student loans? Lashonda answers this and talks about so much more in this episode!
Bankruptcy is not the end of the road when it comes to your finances and your financial future. The laws in the US provide bankruptcy as a clean slate, a chance to start afresh.
While it's not easy and it does take time to get back to a state where you're credit is good and you can take advantage of better interest rates, bankruptcy is not a final failure, but sometimes a necessary step in securing your finances and financial future.
Find out if chapter 7 or chapter 13 makes more sense given your financial situation.

Ep. 064 - Rock Bottom and Personal Growth w/ Hosts Regina, Teresa, & Gill

Be In The Drivers Seat

03/04/23 • 59 min

From the bottom of our hearts.. if you're in a dark place right now, just know that there is ALWAYS hope.
If you or someone you know are having suicidal thoughts, to reach the national suicide and crisis hotline, you can Call or TEXT 988 anytime, they're available 24 hours a day.
If you're interested in therapy or counseling or want to learn more about therapy and counseling options, email [email protected], anytime.
In this episode, we talk about hitting rock bottom and what to do when you're there Regina and Gill share their rock bottom moments in life and what they did to climb out.
Teresa always tells her patients and those she counsels that she isn't the healer, Jesus is the healer, and Teresa is just the catalyst. Mental health and mental stability start by having a relationship with Christ. Just know that therapy is healthy and normal. "If you're ready to do this work, then you can make this work."
-Dr. Teresa Moore
If you're going through a tough time in life know the Lord knows the plans for your life. The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Even though you might be going through a rough patch, if you've hit rocket bottom, know that the situation that you're in NEVER dictates your ending. There is ALWAYS hope, no matter the problem.

"What you're going through is necessary. Don't make the mistake of thinking God has left you. Surround yourself with Godly people, the right people you know you need in your life."
-Gill Garrett
"If you need help, you gotta reach out. You have gotta be in your own driver's seat at all times, but you have to be the one to put yourself in the driver's seat always in life. You have to take 100% responsibility for your own life, we all do."
-Regina the Queen of Car Loans
