Hello, Dr. Tabitha, and welcome to free your mind. Let's talk about it with LKJ in the UK and globally across all the networks that hear this incredible award-winning show. Uh, it's an honor to have you, and thank you for your sponsorship for the show. Thank you so much, Lady KJ, for allowing me to be on the show with you today. I am so honored to be here as well. Absolutely. So, you know, huge, huge, um, voice around the world And as you know, I believe we have to be the voice for the voices to encourage them to come forward when we have mental health problems, which we're going to touch base on in here. But come on, from being such a powerhouse, this wonderful, enthusiastic, empowering voice, mindset, how you transform people. Can I take you back? So as I always do with my guests, because we need to know where this comes from. So where was you born? Okay, I was born in a little town in South Carolina called Beaufort, South Carolina, um, to my mother and my father, um, at the time. And as a young girl, we moved to inner city Philadelphia. So I grew up in inner city Philadelphia, um, for many years. And during that process, I was not one that was taught about money. Like, I knew that we had a comfortable lifestyle. I knew that, um, at the time, uh, my mother and father had separated when we moved away to Philadelphia, but my mom did a very good job with managing the household, but the information was not shared with me. So when it comes down to money and managing the mindset and the relationship with money, That was something I learned later on in life, but a lot of times, or, or the lessons that I learned came from the hard knocks that I seemingly accumulated over the years, meaning that the challenges that I had in my own life and just managing money, the relationship there. So my passion comes from my own experiences. And what I faced over the years through my life as well as my businesses. Wow. So with that, did you have any— do you have any siblings? Are they strong? Because how many— are you just one, or— um, I have 3 other siblings. I have 2 brothers and I have a sister, and all of us have seemingly over the years accumulated a very well, I would say, educated life, as well as when it comes to money, we've learned over the years through our mistakes. And some of it has been through my coaching, as well as the conversations that we've had collectively about the things that we can do to change the course of our children's lives. We all have children. And if we didn't do this, then potentially those same habits could have progressed down to our children. And luckily, our children are on a better path than we were at their ages. So from that, in your strength, and in the strength of your explanation of this, you know, two brothers and two sisters, an equal balance. So God gifted you equal balance strength to keep the scales balancing, as in the monetary scales. I see that very much clearly in a vision that, you know, it may tip like that, but it will balance out. And the balance is that from your parents, they had great strength, and where they came from, from the small village, was about how to see more in the wealth of God, in the balance, the family, the voice, right? Rather than the materialistic side, and to keep the balance first. You looked at the roots and the foundations and built on them. Am I correcting that message that is being expressed today? Yes, I definitely would say that that is correct. For me, I am the oldest of my siblings, so a lot of my experiences came first. My youngest brother, or my younger brother to me, is 5 years, and then my youngest brother and sister are 10 and 11 years. So I had a lot of experience when it came to making mistakes as well as finding out what worked when it came to fixing the challenges that I went through as far as money was concerned. So for us, it seemed to have taken on a pattern where I went through it first and then I later shared it with them and they were able to maneuver just slightly different than I did. And now our children have been able to leap over some of those stuff. As a result of the challenges that we shared with them, as well as the structures that we put in place with teaching them about money earlier on in life. Absolutely. So when we're looking at this whole family set and your family, Dr. Tabitha, is, um, was your mother and father very strict with money, or what was their teachings to you regarding this? To put that into your mindset because you are taught from your parents, your voice, speaking, how you use the alphabet to incorrect language, you know, that is empathic, encouraging, engaging, how we use that, our mindset and training. What did they do? You know, because this is very strong core family values. That have continued on by generation, generation. So for people that are listening to this show, you've just given birth, you've got your child, where you are, your family, you set your foundations, your family, and for who you are in your teaching, and for the parents going on. So were your parents very strong in that? Can you just open up a little by freeing to the audience the greatness of and the impact of your voice and showcasing about money, using it, how you are as a parent. So for your parents, what was your experience with that? How did they sow the seed for you to allow that seed to grow and flourish in your mind? Oh yeah, definitely. I can say that what I witnessed from my parents was excellence at best. My mother really, over the years, showed us great strength when it came to managing money, even though we didn't have the conversation. And I really didn't learn the value of that until I got older. As we were growing up, my mom would do things like she would give us money when it came time to go school shopping, for example, and whatever we needed, we would have that certain amount of money that we could spend. Been in a— Are you there? Hello? Are we there? I see you. Sorry, can I ask— You must have had a technical glitch. Apologies to the listeners. Um, can I just ask you to repeat that because we seem to have lost your signal? I must remind the audience that, you know, the recording and we are connecting and we use of internet and we demand so much on broadband and that sometimes we have a technical glitch. We are live recording, we do this live and we keep it real by being our authentic self. So apologies to the audience, but Tabitha, could I ask you to repeat that? Yes, absolutely. So I was saying that I, my Parents were very good with money that I witnessed, even though we didn't have the conversations around money. Uh, for example, my mother, she would budget down to the penny when it came to managing the household bills, when it came to shopping and supplying for us for school supplies, when it came to Christmas and different things like that. I mean, my money— my mother really budgeted that and she had a tight budget. So whatever it was that she could afford at that particular time was what we went with. We didn't have, I would say, a lot of choices when it came to the things that we wanted, even though she did the best that she could to make things available for us, which I'm very thankful. My, my father, once we moved back to the Carolinas, he did allow us to, you know, we were involved with him a lot more until this— to this day we still have a really good relationship and he lives a very minimalistic life as well. And so I learned some valuable lessons in that, uh, even as I've gone on and developed my career and gotten my doctorate degrees and all that, it does not take all of that that we see today to have a really comfortable lifestyle. My, both my parents, my mother and my father live very minimalistic lives and they're just as happy as they can be by doing so. And from that I learned that, um, it takes, you know, you can be content in the state that you're in as opposed to going out and creating a lot of debt. And so by observing that, it really gave me the mindset of, Do I really need this or not? And so a lot of times I really reflect back to that sometimes when I'm, I'm going to make a big purchase or if I'm going to go on vacation and different things like that. I really do use those values when it comes to that so that I can continue to live within my means and not live, you know, a lavish lifestyle to where I can put myself in a lot of debt. Very, very good advice there, you know, and how you've shown how you worked through, you know, being brought up that too much is wasteful, isn't it? Sometimes we waste so much, and the children and people today with Christmas coming, Dr. Tamse, we see people rushing around the shops saying, 'I've got to get this, is it enough?' Have we done enough? And then the credit card statement comes in January and the mental health is affected. Why have I done that? Why have I done it? I wish I could have controlled that, but they wanted to give everything because the pressure now at school, the child has to have the designer shoe, that if not the bullying, there's a whole process from not being financially stable in your mindset. Am I correct? Yes, that is definitely correct. So the motivation for me writing my book, I Divorced My Money and Married My Mindset, really was all set around that premise. I have firsthand experience with my sons. I have 4 grown sons that are in the US Army, as well as we have a daughter that just recently graduated college just this year. And so it was very important to us to make sure that we instill great values in our children and teach them the value of their money and how they can set themselves up for success when it comes later in life to purchasing a home, buying a car, establishing credit, different things like that. But that comes from a personal place of where, um, you know, I literally had some pitfalls in my life. So from the standpoint of losing a business, I made one bad decision and it caused me to lose six figures, as well as I've experienced repossession. I've experienced foreclosure over my lifetime, and that was due to mishandling money early on. And even though I observed my mother and father now, the way that they live a minimalistic lifestyle, I don't think my earlier years that I took that into consideration. And so now that I've had the opportunity to reset, rebuild my life, both personally and financially, it gives me a profound respect for the lifestyle that they live today and the values that they hold as far as whether or not, you know, you should make those expenditures and different things like that. So I use that— it as a basis of my teaching in my coaching program, as well as in my family. I really do talk with my sons as well as my daughter because she's on a path now to be out on her own. And so we instill the importance of making sure that you can afford to make the next step decision before you actually make that decision and why it's so important to do it kind of backwards, right? We want them to be able to have the money first before they go out and make that decision, and not the other way around. And it's very interesting to see when we've spoken quite openly, and as you're freeing your own mindset and your mind with the listeners here, as we start to really get into who you are. My question is this, to have gone into repossession, as you said, you didn't control it, even with your parents having the mindset of being very frugal, very careful, and you mentioned something in that explanation earlier on in the interview that you didn't always have everything. Do you think there was that missing link that when you are at school, you come out thinking all the kids had this, but we didn't have that? We had what— we had food in our cupboards, we had that, we had our Christmas present, they may not have been over grand, but did you feel then that that was a small chink in the mindset— I always call it chink, because something like will just attack it, you know, like ching, like that— that tries to shift your mindset in a way that you thought, well, now I've left that, your parents are like, no, I'm going to do that, and overspent, which you said, you know, you learnt that lesson. Do you think because of that it was too strict or you didn't have it, there was this wanting for more at that time. Yeah, I would definitely agree with that. I started off on a quest of when I went to high school, for example, because I lived in inner city Philadelphia, I had the opportunity to participate in a Gifted and Talented program that allowed me to be bused to a school school system outside of my normal school system, and it gave me great exposure to the finer things of life. Uh, some of my, uh, high school counterparts would drive the nicer cars, the Mercedes-Benz, the BMWs, and Lexus to school, and they would live in the big houses that we would observe as we rode in every day. On, uh, city transit. And so I always wondered, how did they do that? How could they afford that? And so as I set out on my quest to make a decent living and/or either acquire some of those things, I learned quickly though that there was a process behind that. And so even with working, when I worked in corporate America I would try to excel as quickly as possible through the ranks for upper-level management. And once I got there, I'm like, oh, okay, so I can afford these things. So now let me go ahead and get those. I quickly transitioned into entrepreneurship. And as I transitioned into entrepreneurship from corporate America, there was not the steady paycheck. There was not the, the money coming in all the time. And I had to use my resources and reserves at many times. Times in order to keep the business afloat. However, I had a business partner that would more or less undo everything that I did at the time, and because of the clashing of the two different mindsets, uh, really caused me to lose a lot as a result of doing that. So through the process over the years, it allowed me to learn a lot of valuable lessons, um, that everything that I see I don't necessarily have to have. That was one of the lessons. The second lesson was, is that getting into business in a partnership is— it should be entered in wisely, as well as you should have different triggers and mechanisms in place to kind of help with that. So that played a lot into my mindset being shifted from, you know, wanting these things and having to have them, but also being a wise entrepreneur as well. Well, absolutely, that's very important. And during that time, um, how was your mental health going through that? Did it feel challenged? Did you feel pressure? Did you feel any trauma? And has it left you any triggers that, um, you have to guard yourself so that, as you were saying, the business partner was probably a little bit more frivolous, causing problems like that? But did you suffer with that? Did you have the restless nights? Because if you're facing repossession, a lot of us would find that difficult. Oh yeah, absolutely. I had lots of restless nights as far as mental health was concerned. I felt like I was really challenged in a lot of areas. One was because it— how was I going to provide for my family? Going forward from just being able to supply the necessities, but also a roof over our head, like in the everyday things that a huge family like myself had at the time, it was really hard on myself. Earlier on when I got my first doctorate degree, I did have the opportunity to serve as a chaplain as my internship. For my doctorate degree, and that was a huge eye-opening experience to me. That's when mental health really start— I learned the importance of mental health. I would say that when I was going through my, my financial challenges, it never occurred to me, or the conversations never came up to see a therapist or to seek counseling or to go and talk to a member of the clergy or chaplain or anybody like that. I basically went through a lot of that on my own, as well as I thought that when I was going to church, if I prayed to God, a higher being, that that was going to be the thing that helped me. And it did help. However, as I did my internship as a chaplain, it really taught me the value of seeking counsel. And I will tell everybody that you should not sit and suffer in silence. That's the reason why a lot of people are so mentally challenged today, is because we don't have an outlet or we don't seek the resources necessary to find an outlet. And as I've grown later in my years, I've become a mental health first responder, uh, through my church organization. And we literally talk about how important it is to have an outlet and how it is— Hello? We've lost you. Hello? Yes, ma'am. We lost you again. The signal must have cut out. We got bad weather in South Carolina. Seemingly, it is bad weather here today. We've had 80% showers all day. So I'm gonna have to ask you to repeat that. It was so in-depth, we were really getting there about where you were talking about being a chaplain and, you know, you're like— we would call them first aiders, but first aiders for mental health. So we just recapped just on that. We've got that bit, just, you know, we lost about 15, 20 seconds. Okay, yes ma'am. Definitely, I think that it is It is super important though that we make sure that we seek counsel when we're going through something traumatic in our lives. And so through me doing the internship as a chaplain, as well as the being a mental health first responder, it is so important though that we find somebody that we can confide in, that they can help us to process through the challenges that we have. It doesn't necessarily mean that they can solve all the problems, But when we find that we can talk about what's going on, the challenges that we're experiencing mentally, it helps us. What I found that was one of the bigger eye-opening things is that because sometimes we don't have that outlet, we internalize so much and it affects our health more than we realize. And so I will say that mental health is a key component in our everyday health, meaning as physically as well as mentally. Yes, because when you, um, are affectionately known as the Healthy Wealth Coach, uh, Dr. Sheba, you have become one of the leading authorities on financial empowerment. You've created environments that foster success. You challenge clients to unapologetically use their life experience and expertise so they can live a six-figure life for their dreams. You mentor passionately, guiding them to transition from employee to CEO of their life, business, and legacy. You know, wow, and wow, having come from repossession, mental health trauma, to be changing and taking the lesson of the past and the mental health trauma also as a chaplain and using your voice to show that you've now created this amazing brand. Yes, ma'am. I saw that people were struggling with some of the very same things that I had experienced in my life. And being a mental health first responder, you get to help them to walk through that process with them. And what I find is that people are very grateful and it's a rewarding position to be in. But I also know that if we do not stand up and take a first seat or be the lead, the trailblazer to show people that It doesn't matter what your situation is right now. Look to the future and not be so caught up on why it is that you're experiencing this. All of us sometimes go through things for a reason and a purpose. And I found that my purpose is helping people to change their relationship with money, their mindset of how they look at, making a purchase, how it is that they look at the money that they have in the bank. What are they doing with that? How they can create multiple streams of income as well as live that six-figure lifestyle if that is something that they wish to do so that they can create a rich legacy. But I do that out of passion of my experiences as well as the experiences that I see people go through today. I have found that over the years that it doesn't matter whatever financial situation that they're in right now. We start with the resources that they have now and build on that in order for them to be able to get to that successful place. And success looks different for everybody. So I don't put it on a person to say you have to look like the next person. I just say, let's focus on you and what it is that you have and where it is that you want to go to. And that's the whole premise of the program that I help people with today. Amazing, absolutely amazing. You know, when we hear that, and when he was on stage and listening to you on there, you know, connecting, and when you only have 10 minutes, but, and your powerful, um, impact that you made on the Sean Fair leadership tour, how did you find Sean Fair leadership show to echo the power you just said onto that stage, across the TV going around, and you know, for that tour. How was that for you? I absolutely loved the leadership experience tour. It was so amazing. I love the fact that they give you the platform for a for you to have a voice and for you to be able to share your message with the world. For me, my message is healthy wealth is our legacy. It's our entitlement, but it's up to us in order for us to be able to reach that place of healthy wealth. Now, if, uh, when, when I was on the Leadership Experience Tour, I found that every facet of it fit nicely together. I've had the opportunity to speak on multiple platforms well over 20 years, and what I experienced at the Leadership Experience Tour was definitely outside of the box. It— Sean Fair knocked it all the way out the park. And I would say that it is a great experience for all of us. I mean, I had the opportunity of meeting you in person, and it was absolutely amazing. Just the energy level that everybody had, as well as the production that they put on, was very great. So I'm eternally grateful for having had that experience to be able to be on the Leadership Experience Tour. But you were saying, like, yourself, your energy, but you impacted so many people being there yourself, Dr. Tabitha. You know, ourself, the engagement doing it, and my one of our UK ambassadors. She's actually my ambassador in the UK, um, Perel. She loves— she— her energy in there to see it, visualize it. And Dr. Dooney, um, you know, another ambassador for Sean Fair in the UK, them being there was wonderful to see and hear their feedback in the connection because The Sean Fair used to be just a Black community, and he has taken that through The Voice with people where now in March you've got disabled people coming on with their voices. We have all colours, race like myself going on there under one rainbow of colour where everybody counts. Under that roof, there is no discrimination. There is no hatred. It's just energy of love impacting engagement with freedom to respect each other, to listen to your stories, engage everybody trying to help each other. It just is electrifying for me. And that's why I said, even for yourself, we brought that energy back with us. And you know how you spoke on stage and everything, you know, getting up everyone, it isn't coming through, sitting there watching. Dancing, you know, Dr. Marcia, you know, so much. And Larry with his spinning. It's about when you are freeing your mind and your message is the most important, is being happy helps you release. When you've got that inside, your inner strength, knowing you're enough, you're not worthless, your voice. Yes, we all have a story We all have our story, but our story is us, and that's what we share in our knowledge through our voice, that you have to walk with adversity. You've had to felt adversity, and there is no shame in losing your house, because with the neighbours going, "Oh, what's gone on?" Gossip doesn't fit. In our world of the rainbow, where we all believe in diversity, inclusion, equality, and that we dance together under one sky, which is blue, clear, with the colour of the rainbow that unites us over that bridge, where we can just simply be ourselves and be at peace. But in that kingdom, like having connections like yourself that has had adversity, that if someone is crossing that bridge, you go, where do I sit? We're living in a tent, we've only got a tent we can put up there. Your arms and your voice say, I will lift you up, it's okay. Yes, you do, in with the mentoring, but with your voice, and as, you know, a first responder in mental health and stuff like, it's, it's fine, it's a lesson. We have stumbled, but if we did not stumble, we would not appreciate. Like as you were saying, when you used to come a different way into school as they were in their cars, you know, Lexus, you know, looking from the sideline on the public transport, how do I get that, wanting it, and it goes. As soon as you've got it, as soon as it goes. You have to have foundation, like the bamboo plant is a very good explanation that to plant a bamboo plant is difficult. It takes many challenges of 3 years for that root to actually set and ground its foundation. Then the next 2 years, you know, to make sure it's stability there. And that bamboo, after 5 years, it survives that. It just continues to get stronger and grow. And like us, you know, there are many bamboo plants that fall over, but the seed from that would have been replanted, that might have just appeared and grew somewhere else, and with strength became its own strong bamboo. So like our mind, we mustn't allow seeds never to be implanted. As long as they're good and they show a little fruition and teaching, as long as you took the lesson with you that you were enough. It was a lesson that you learned. So where you live now, when you had that house and you bought them cars, like you said, you taught us that. Do I really need that? Or I'll have it when I know I finished that. To have your luxury, like the holiday. We all used to save for holidays. I remember as wealthy as, you know, some of my family are, to my other side of the family that wasn't. Two complete opposites. That, you know, my grandma on that side, when I used to visit, she would have tins in the cupboard that my grandfather, you know, mill workers, you know, stuff like that, would come back and bring the wage, the cash came home, and have the tin. And he would put— she would give her housekeeping he would keep some for himself, he's independent, to buy his chewing tobacco that he used to like to chew, to go and socialise with his friends for a couple of pints, you know, as they did in the social, and chat, so he had his downtime. They had 8 children, my mother came from that side of the family, my father came from obviously different side, and You know, there was 8 of them. My Nan would cook the porridge in the morning, that's what they had, filled them up. Their sandwiches, you know, in the evening, grounding straw. You know, the coal, they put the fire on at that time. You know, there was 8 children sleeping in the bed, you know, put an extra blanket on. But the love that was expressed from that family taught my Mum, everybody, you know, in her family. And they were so happy. So happy. Yes, they had challenges themselves. The challenge that my mother used to have was, you know, that being with 5 brothers, you know, going out like that, when they got the boyfriend, it was very difficult to get one because they were all like, what's going on here? And her sister, one would go out and She would pinch the older sister's clothes and her younger sister's. So when the older sister was working, coming back, "You've been in my clothes again!" She said, "But I really wanted to wear it and want to go out." And they used to try and hang it back into the wardrobe. Okay, so, but she knew. But did she mind? She would go because she'd share that and go on in learning to share and go through, which is important with that part. But like yourself, in having a, say for myself, it is important for the listeners and listening to where we've come so far into this interview, what you're saying and what you offer and how do you do that. We talked about the Siuan Phair Leadership So how you did that. One of the things I want to talk to you now about, as we, you know, we uplifted the mindset for the listeners and doing it. Yes, we stumbled, but you've picked up, shown that strength and what you're doing now. And with your children, you know, in the US Army, you know, your daughter just graduating, et cetera. Amazing, strong family cause. Which have been stowed in them from your early years with your parents, putting that in, trying and saying, you know, just be happy with your family, what you've got, and look at bits in there. Well, let's not over-waste on it, but yes, let's still enjoy that comfort when we've got it. It's paid for, it's not on a credit card, you're not building up debt, you saved, you've got it. And you've rewarded yourself with it. And the more you give out to the universe, and the understanding and the quantum upshift of our mindset and getting the wisdom and the knowledge will help. Because it is compelling, because you as a leader, you champion the empowerment of women. What about men? Do you— do men come out, or is it just women that you work with? Around the world, providing opportunities to build them with courage, confidence, and connections through your workshops, resources, education, and coaching, in line with your passion for helping women succeed, and which you found inspired women and created your business, Women LLC. So is it just women? But what if a man was to make a connection? Could you help me? So I primarily focus on the women of the family, and the reason why I do that is that I I realized that women are the nucleus of the family. They're the glue that holds it all together. And what I find is that when you empower the women of the family, they're now able to share and disseminate that to everybody because the woman generally touches everybody in the family. So as she disseminates, she has the ability to now help to empower the man of the family as well. I have not incorporated men into it, even though I have coached men over the years in the same way, because I do agree or believe that men face a lot of the same challenges. But women, because we're nurturers, we give out so much that a lot of times our mental faculties are seemingly seem like they're challenged a little bit more than they are sometimes with the men. The men seem to be able to bounce back and get a foot up a little bit quicker sometimes than the women because of the other responsibilities that we have as far as taking care of the household, being the mom, and sometimes the provider as well. So that's why I primarily focused on women. It's nothing, um, against working with the guys, but I realized that Moms need it because they're the core of the family, but they also have the ability to impact the family in such a greater way. Yes, thank you for answering that, because I've come across it myself, as you probably have yourself. Oh, you're a feminist. It's— why is it just a women's radio station and you have a men's radio station? I bring many men onto this show. To see and hear their point of view, because their point of view actually affects a woman's point of view, how they're treated, anxiety, you know, when women's going through menopause, how they cope, etc., like that, to show that we are still unbiased and unjudgmental and on separate stuff on there. It's just, you know, what you're seeing going through on there, because, you know, you use a very, very strong impact full sentence here, and I hope everybody at home and listening to this show, this is the book what, um, Dr. Tabasa touched on a little bit earlier in the interview, which says, I divorced my money and I married my mindset. So Dr. Tabitha, where is this book available for any listener in the UK or globally around the world? How can they purchase this book? Yes, the book is available on Amazon right now, and you can find it by the title I Divorced My Money, Married My Mindset, as well as you can find it under my name, Dr. Tabitha Russell. Uh, the reason why I wrote that book is that I realized that A lot of times the challenges that we have with money is really not about the money, whether you have it or not, but it's your mindset. If you have a financial challenge, I've found that a lot of times if you have a positive mindset, even in that challenge or with that challenge, you can bounce back very quickly. But it, it also is determined how you look at the situation. So in the book, I have broken it down with, with several different steps in there on how you can obtain better control of your money as well as build a relationship with it. And there's some practical steps in there that you can take to, to keep more of your money as well as how to make money, right? We want to sometimes know that it's important to have multiple streams of income, especially especially in today's economy because— and we'll use the pandemic, for example. When the pandemic happened, a lot of places closed down, and that was the one source of income for a lot of people. Well, I think that if we had multiple streams of income, that would have circumvented some of the challenges that we've had today. So that book really goes over how we can now create something that's a little bit more stable financially, but with a better mindset with the relationship that we can build with our money today. Absolutely, absolutely. Um, one of the, um, other things I wanted to talk to you about, um, is your vision. You are a visionary, which has been recognized with numerous certifications and awards for your leadership, your commitment, your contribution to the community, and the media platforms such as ABC, as I'm a news reporter, radio presenter. You know, this is fantastic. You know, as I said, it's such empowering for everybody on here with your voice, the awards you've got, Your work has been featured on prominent major platforms such as ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS, and also sponsoring womensradiostation.com. And you will be going on Tiffany Butler's TV show that will be on the 23rd of January, going out live for the Sean Fair leadership tour, where you will be part of the promotion Impact platform that is bringing this tour to the UK and to show people and work with people and people to connect with you and connect and collaborate with people in the UK who are, you know, CEOs of TikTok, CEOs of Pixi, Business World's investors, by using that platform to put you into a position that you will help with your voice. This is always your commitment and very much a humanitarian. I mean, you've been on again, like, this is similar to, you know, we'll have talk shows, you've had radio, podcasts, and in leading newspapers and magazines and on LinkedIn and stuff like that. The LKJ one will be also featuring Dr. Tabitha in a front cover shoot as well, which we'll Dr. Tabitha Russell, I Divorced My Money, My Marriage, My Isaac, to tap her for a promotion in, not for, oh, look at me, you need to be on it.

The reason as the editor-in-chief, and we're just waiting for the event planner just to confirm with the amount of rooms we need that we've got all that section, and the date will be out, I'm sure, by next week for people to come on there. So to reach out to Dr. Tabitha Russell, as I think, you know, as we've enjoyed, as I have, So much listening to you. When we go back and reflect about how empowering you are, what you do, your work is absolutely incredible. You don't stop, you know, you're always feeding your brain. Even when you have been faced with challenges, you've come back. But you've come back not only having the lesson, you now mentor and help people so they don't fall, or if they do fall, by helping them up and their mental health with that. To reach Dr. Tabitha, can I ask you to actually take the podium and the mic to do this, how they can connect to you? Can we use these few minutes on that? So how we can seek more of you, because I wanted more after I left USA because of the impact you made. And it's been so incredible to have you and sponsor this show and help anybody listening how to connect, how to stand. You're still enough, you're not worthless, but you can rebuild your mindset but learn from that lesson.
