Episode Description

From a young age we are mystified and entertained by the stories we hear, from fairy tales to folk lore we learn the benefits of creating and telling a story. They allow us to connect, share a part of our past with others, as well as create a sense of meaning about the situations, experiences and circumstances we might find ourselves in. But are we all natural storytellers? For centuries stories have been used to pass important information down from one generation to another, sharing the wisdom, knowledge and inspiration that comes with age and experience. We all have a story within, stories so powerful they can change lives, provide hope and help others move from the darkness into the light. Learn from Kezia how Women of Contribution is rising up around the world as women recognize their gifts and talents and share them through important live changing stories.

Many of us have something, something we’re hiding, something we’re ashamed of, something that through no fault of our own or through our own making, something that we keep hidden and that, in turn, keeps us hidden, from each other and the world. Defining Moments will show you how to STAND UP in your power and no longer experience the terrible feeling of being a victim of fraud or betrayal. Good people go through terrible situations, wise people know when and how to let it go. Everything that happens to us helps us grow. While it may be hard to see it right away, the most important thing to do is to change your perception about your circumstances! Debby is dedicated to encouraging you to remove the mask of embarrassment and shame and to putting an end to victimization. Debby will help you STAND UP and become the victor not the victim. You will learn how to acknowledge what happened and forgive yourself first and then move on with power.
