Q2: What is the life or leadership advice you give most often? 

Shannon Malcom
“Start where you stand!” It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what has happened in your life, you can start where you stand and change the trajectory of your life and your families lives.


Bernadette Cole
Every day is a new day and you are the Captain of your ship. Every day I get to CHOOSE and that is so powerful! Every day I get to choose what my day is going to be! TODAY can be the start of something new or it can be a day to build, restore or heal! I get to choose! And I am the captain of my destiny. Life is not  happening to me, it’s happening for me and I get to choose how I want to show up and navigate! 


Christina Noriega

Shawn Sorensen
