Dr. Veronica Anderson is a multifaceted entrepreneur, healthcare expert, and Kolbe-Certified Human Design Coach who has authored 4 books on holistic medicine and personal growth. Have you ever felt like a victim, and if so … what did you do about it? Dr. Veronica first appeared on the GFR Show in September 2021 - Episode 83: From Depressed Eye Surgeon to Clairvoyant Psychic. Now she is back to talk about how working in a predominately white organization made her feel victimized AND eventually empowered her to birth a business that fully represents her ethnic identity and personal ideals. Tune in to hear Dr. V’s new story detailing her experience as a Black woman in the white-dominated wellness industry during the aftermath of George Floyd’s 2021 murder. She gets into the ways her well-intentioned colleagues missed the mark with their attempts at allyship, and we find out what (glaringly, in retrospect) simple change in communication could have made a big difference for everyone involved. We talk about how being tokenized by some, while also being excluded and canceled by others for speaking her truth, made Dr. Veronica feel like a victim. And she confesses how she initially leaned into that role and allowed her external world to impact her vision of herself … and kept her trapped in the victim role rather than pushing against it and transforming it Learn what spiritual lessons helped Dr. Veronica shift from victimhood to empowerment, and discover how her struggles served as a path to a new, more aligned business. Plus, she tells us exactly what type of support she’d love to get from Lisa, and other white colleagues, that would help her out most as she embarks on her next evolution.

What is the dumbest decision you've ever made in your life? For this special replay episode that we’re releasing on both audio and as a video on my YouTube channel, Zarinah is back with an update on what’s happened since she first appeared on the GFR Show and opened up about the “dumbest decision” she ever made. She talks about another major loss she's experienced these last couple years, and shares what she's learned around acceptance and letting go. Being raised a Muslim, Zarinah was surrounded by family friends from many cultures, but as a student in Detroit and later at Howard University, she wasn’t exposed to a lot of different people. Find out what “clicked” that made her know she was a “person of the world.” And how that led to eye-opening experiences like living in Egypt and dating someone in a different caste, and revitalizing orphan programs in Sierra Leone. You’ll also hear the lessons she learned in her 40th year—a spiritual year of revelations for many Muslims—which came in a series of GFR moments including losing her mom, divorcing her husband of 14 years, and moving in with her father after his stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Plus, you’ll hear the transformational lesson Zarinah learned when she repressed her true nature to try to make her marriage work.

As a child of trauma, Laura lived in a persistent state of fear and trepidation, which impacted her adult relationships, affected the way she parented her kids, and ultimately … served as an epicenter for her personal evolution.

The Lovefest for Liberated Leaders is Lisa’s high-vibe networking event where evolving experts mastermind with like-hearted peers in a space where money isn’t the #1 motivation, and where they can feel fully self-expressed and embraced for who they are. What does liberation mean to you? When Lisa shared with her community a week before Lovefest that her mother was dying, people expected that she’d cancel. But as Lisa explained on social media, Mama Phyllis has always been her biggest cheerleader and fully supported Lisa following her intuition, which said she was meant to host her event. What she didn’t expect was that Mama Phyllis, who’s been a long-time participant in Lisa’s events, would summon the energy or desire to participate on camera, live from her deathbed. Lisa doesn’t usually share Lovefest recordings with non-attendees because you don’t get the same value without the interactive masterminding. However, this was such a profound, divinely-orchestrated experience, Lisa wants to ensure everyone who needs to or wants to, gets a chance to listen in. Enjoy a taste of what it’s like to be at Lovefest for Liberated Leaders, and soak in the wisdom and healing our precious Mama Phyllis a.k.a.

It’s the last GFR Show of 2021, and Lisa’s here to share why—despite living through the Covid crucible of 2020—this has been one of the most transformational years of her life. From embarking on a journey around unconscious racial bias, to her mother’s 9-month battle with a cancer recurrence, to revisiting a 30-year struggle with food and body image she was sure she’d healed years ago (Ep. 85 - F*ck Dieting! This is Me!), Lisa leaned into her lessons and uncovered a stronger, even more unapologetic version of herself. The week before Ep. 85 aired, Lisa’s mom Phyllis was in a terrible car accident that nearly left her quadriplegic, which in turn completely rocked Lisa’s world. That’s when the real transformation started. In this episode you'll learn about Phyllis’s grueling road to recovery, and find out 5 major lessons Lisa’s learned as she took on her new role as caregiver for her mom. Lisa also confesses the ways her faith in the GFR Commandments has been tested these last couple months, in particular GFR 12C #4: Trust that struggle serves your mission. Listen in to hear a promising update about how Phyllis is doing at the time of recording, and learn what self-care actions Lisa's taking for herself (and in turn, for her business, and the GFR Show) as she continues to care for her mom.
