There's your business.” “The number one cause of the veteran suicide issue is loss of purpose.” “You have to be really aware of what is triggering you and how it's triggering you and what you're doing when you're getting triggered, so you can take a proactive step outside of that trigger to do something different.” “How many times do we go through life and we have those moments where we just wish we had somebody that we could talk to?” “Exploring with curiosity and not have an outcome to what you're exploring. Just go and just to learn.” About Our Guest Sha Sparks Sha Sparks, an energetic, loving, and inspiring speaker, coach, and author whose mission is to help women transform their trauma into treasure. As the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Hope & Certified Fearless Living Coach, Sha empowers her clients to peel away the layers of their own negative inner dialogue, limiting beliefs, and fear that stems from verbal abuse and loss, which prevents them from living the life they want. When women work with her, they experience a higher level of confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love that gives them permission to step out of their comfort zone and fully participate in life. Her motto is when we share our own lessons learned of overcoming adversities, we ignite a tiny spark of hope, love, connection, and community in other people. And when we ignite that spark, the whole world lights up.
