Dr. Vaughan and Life Coach Cesley both were highly charged with the Holy Spirit and I felt genuine spiritual fellowship. I am so motivated and uplifted after listening to these two godly, grounded and gifted women. They each shared their personal experiences and highlighted what makes women strong: God , courage to be ourselves, self-love and renewed self-worth. I agree that many times when we lack self-esteem and self-worth, it is because someone early in our lives that should have lifted us, spoke negative things that broke us and disabled us emotionally. However, their message today should cause anyone listening to feel empowered and know that the possibility to heal and grow is available through a intimate personal relationship with God.
I learned personal love and to value myself as a result of God coming into my life and revealing to me in His Word that everything He made was good and very good. A very insightful documentary that I watched after hearing this podcast the first time (yes, I am listening for the 2nd time) was “Dark Girls”. I had been referred to as being a “beautiful little Black girl” when I was a child because of my darker complexion, instead of being described simply as a beautiful girl.
Jay, you need to have these ladies paired up again because they are so powerful and “real”. I loved this podcast and it was so full of wisdom and knowledge that I had to come back and write down some of their tips and testimonies. Also, I want to mention that your music selections are always so fitting and appropriate for each individual podcast. You are producing some really great shows. I am loving it. Thanks to Dr. Vaughan, Life Coach Cesley and you Jay. WOW!!!!!

Destiny!! I’m elated to hear that this episode blessed you sis! Honestly, it blessed me too!
Getting to know God truly is the best decision I’ve ever made for so many reasons. But the best is that in unconditionally loving Him, I learned how to properly love me — and I’m glad you learned to love you, as well. Now, I’ll admit, I’m not dark-skinned but I always cringed when people would say “she’s pretty to be dark-skinned” about one of my close childhood friends. I would always think “she’s just pretty! color has NOTHING to do with it!” Well that same friend is now ripping the runway in New York and letting her beauty light up the house!
Women were handcrafted by God, so no matter the complexion, ethnicity, body type or hair texture, we each were wonderfully made, good and very good! I know Dr. Vaughan and I both pray that is what each woman walks away with after listening to this episode and come to embody for themselves, day in and day out. Plus, we hope it touches each man, as well! That’s why I asked Jay to chime in for the fellas in the end. 😉
Thank you again for listening (multiple times!) sis, and I pray you continue to be the light of the world everywhere you go.
Have an amazing day beautiful Destiny!

I agree that this was a remarkable discussion and God was truly speaking through both Dr. Vaughan and Life Coach Ces.
I really appreciate their transparency and willingness to share so much of their own experiences. I do not take that for granted at all.
Knowing that you have been so positively impacted by this discussion means so much too me. God is so awesome!

After listening to this podcast, I burst out in tears because everything that was said was me. I’m broken, confused, have low self-worth and I am working on being a better me.
You women have uplifted me in a way to seek better for myself and I as go on this journey on self-worth and realizing who I am in God’s image I am going to be sure to fill myself with prayer.
Thank you again, for giving me the strength to forgive myself for not having all together but seeking out the help that I need and God himself.
