***Transparent, Vulnerable Moment*** On this weeks

***Transparent, Vulnerable Moment***
On this weeks episode of The Chrysalis Experience, my guest Denise Meggett of @encouragingwordsbydenise and I share the BARE-FACED truth about #CONFIDENCE. And by bare-faced I mean, I filmed the episode make-up free. No mask, no coverups, no filters...just me. Vulnerable, yet free.
🦋🎙
Here’s my truth...after my miscarriage on March 1, 2020, I began having breakouts on my face. Breakouts so severe that it has left scarring. And now that I’ve healed from the pain, disappointment, and hopelessness of miscarriage, I’ve found myself in a wrestling match with shame and embarrassment and suffering a barrage of attacks against my confidence.
🦋🎙
These images are hard to share, but the truth is I know who I am and from where my confidence comes. My strength, courage, character, and confidence are far more than just skin deep!
🦋🎙
If you are struggling with confidence, please tune in to today’s conversation. Denise shares a wealth of information that will help you stand confidently in who you are...scars and all!
Links to watch on YouTube, or listen on the podcast player are in my bio.

Hey, Y’all! I have a gift for you! 🦋💜
It’s The 7-Day #LoveYourVoice Challenge!
This challenge is all about committing to 7 days of learning to Love the #Power of You!

Your Voice is your #identity. It’s the expression and manifestation of who you are and who God created you to be. It’s the way you show up in the world.

God placed power on the inside of you. And your #Voice—when delivered responsibly—is the expression of that power.

But the only way to unlock that power is by learning to #LoveYourVoice!

This 39-page, printable workbook is full of teachings and exercises designed to help you uncover and love the power of You!

Before diving into the 7 days, you’ll learn what voice is and why we are all microphones.
Each day you’ll explore 7 Key topics:
🎤 God’s Voice
🎤 Your Voice
🎤 Lying Voices
🎤 Feed Voice
🎤 Protect Voice
🎤 Space for Voice
🎤 Believe in Voice

“Donloyn! How do we get a copy?!”

I’m glad you asked!

Simply visit my website at Donloyn.com #linkinbio and #subscribe! And you will receive your free, printable PDF workbook!

Take the challenge!
Love Your Voice!

This is our daughter @lauryngadson.

She acts, she dances, she sings, she draws, she writes. I love her Voice...the way she shows up in the world...the way she expresses her identity...the way she shines the light that God placed inside of her.
She is beautiful. Inside and out. And my heart is full.

Voice is powerful. And with that power comes great responsibility.

I was working on this blog post as a follow up to my podcast discussion with @mahoganeeamiger entitled "The Responsibility of Voice."
I wanted to compile a list of the 5 main responsibilities of Voice for my readers.

While I was writing it, I learned that one of the most powerful and beloved voices of our time has passed away.

The reach and grandeur of Cicely Tyson's voice was felt.
It was palpable.
It was DYNAMIC!

And so it felt wrong not to mention her in this post. Especially considering the stellar example she was for each of these traits.

Good Morning Butterfly! It's Wednesday! And you know what that means! That's right...a fresh new episode of #TheChrysalisExperience!

Today's episode is POWERFUL! 🦋

My guest @witiamor Andrea "Marlena" Estrella suffered unspeakable horrors as a child. She was abandoned along with her siblings in Bogotá, Colombia by her mother at age 5 and physically, mentally, and sexually abused by her adoptive parents. This set her on a turbulent path that included rape, mistreatment, running away from home, living on the streets, and suicide attempts...just to name a few.

Today Marlena is mother, an Empowered and Purposeful Life Coach, a speaker, and author of the book "Whatever It Takes; You Have Greatness in You."

Tune in as Marlena joins me in the Chrysalis for this week's episode entitled "The Power Within."
