Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Kristina Valdez as CEO of Along The Way creates all the elements of the family life center that was placed on her heart almost 2 decades ago—filling gaps that impede families from thriving (free child care in our clients’ homes when schools/daycares are closed, parenting support, trauma education, job placement, car clinic, family events).
For families who may not be experiencing physical poverty but who nonetheless experience poverty of heart in some way, yearning for meaning, Along The Way offers a way to concretely love their neighbor. The agency provides community and a chance to directly change the trajectory of the lives of single mothers and their families who are experiencing situational or generational poverty and marginalization.
From the most economically disadvantaged to the most advantaged, Along The Way is “a village” and there is a place for families to get the support they need and to support their neighbors.
Let’s talk about how healing in community creates a pathway to success.

Release It!

There are times when we Hold Things In, and they become so heavy that they oppress our soul.
There are seasons we Hold On To Things, and they become so weighty we are too exhausted to move forward.
There are patterns in our behaviors we Hold on Repeat, and the outdated triggers paralyze our progress.
When you allow yourself to outgrow what you once wanted, you will find yourself in love with what you never even expected! There comes a time when we Release It!
These four women have learned and lived the power of releasing the hold of things that no longer serve their purpose or prevent their growth. Listen to this Coffee Conversation on the Flip Side of Adversity for practical healing tips, tools, and testimony for emotional, physical, mental, and career gains.

Encore: Health Is Wealth: Move It or Lose It

Watching people rush here and there.... In the grocery store, to the meeting, from the car, thru traffic... with this list, that request... They want what for dinner?!?! LOL.
The “hustle culture” of today can wear us down and out and many of us would like to press the pause button for just a moment for us to reconnect with the moment. This flip side conversation will challenge us to be intentional and not miss these moments. There are times when the “ hustle culture of life” gets in the way of the daily opportunity to live bold, free, intentional, and abundantly.
Everyone has a lifetime of habits, which impact who we are as people. When we face times of pace, stress, loneliness, boredom, anger or even joy and celebration - we revert to our old habits. But, the task ahead of you is never greater than the strength within you. Which old habit do you need to replace with a new habit to live fully and free from the inside out and with a high quality of life. It's not just about the quantity of years... but the quality we place in those years.
Dr. Deborah Witt and I will share the impact of stress on our mind, body, and emotions and then examine how to invest in tangible ways for setting priorities and habits for a healthy lifestyle, strong mindset, stable relationships, and a powerful purpose.

The calm after the storm, finding love and light within!

Dr. Tory Robinson began practicing yoga after a traumatic experience. Yoga helped her find her way through a state of high-functioning depression. Someone that is experiencing this type of depression operates as if everything is normal. She went to work everyday and interacted with others as she was expected to do in her personal life. Behind closed doors things were different. Most days she came home after work and crawled into bed till the next morning. The dark quiet bedroom was the only place she found solace.
But…
In 2019 Dr. Tory became certified as a 200 hour registered yoga teacher. Her yoga business, Asana and Beyond Yoga and Wellness was created to provide yoga and wellness to the BIPOC community. Having practiced in spaces where no one looked like her. Bringing yoga to diverse populations is especially important. Yoga and mindfulness support social emotional development through the mind and body connection.

Getting Back To Your Roots

Food Deserts are defined as residential communities that are outside of a 1-mile walking distance to a grocery store where fresh food options are sold. The bodegas were processed and unhealthy prepared foods are sold flourish in low-income communities.
Almost 250,000 people in Philly lack access to nutritious food to live a healthy life. Food insecurity is more complex than being physically hungry. Access to nutritious food impacts mental health, brain development, and physical and financial well-being. The city of Philadelphia is plagued with food-insecure families that work 40+ hours per week and still don't have access to chemical-free food options. One because they don't understand the importance of it, and two because the access just isn't there. But the inner city is not the only community experiencing this nutritious food drought …. Access to food can seem an afterthought in one of Pennsylvania’s wealthiest counties, where nearly everyone drives. Yet, the USDA’s food desert list includes neighborhoods such as Bensalem, Bristol Borough, Bristol Township, Falls, Sellersville, Warminster, and Quakertown.
Our Co-Host Christa Barfield, founder of Farmer Jawn Agriculture, aims to create change and bring awareness to the matters of food waste and food insecurity and the symbiotic relationship between the two. Since 2018, she has developed earth-born brands based in regenerative agricultural values with a goal of traceable and transparent origins of 100% Organically Dope foods. Viva Leaf Tea and FarmerJawn Agriculture are her original two ventures and she now operates a non-profit arm on multiple sites totaling 128 acres of land, who’s mission is to train and educate the nation’s next Black and brown Agripreneurs.
