Learning to Let Go
Reclaiming Destiny
Reclaiming Destiny is a show for all those that know they are destined for more! Hosted by author, entrepreneur, life coach, and motivational speaker, Cici Stephen, each episode will dive deeper into the issues and topics that can impact most of our daily lives and have a lingering effect on our purpose. Come join us on the path to reclaiming our destiny, as we begin to challenge the people, places, and things that dare to stand in our way.
Listen on:
It's Time To Reclaim...
We are at a tipping point. We can no longer sit on the sidelines of our lives. We must rise...we must heal...and we must reclaim our destiny.
After being diagnosed with Complex PTSD in 2018, after years of traumatic experiences, I was hit with the realization of how much I had given my power away to people, places and things that did not honor who I was or more importantly, were hinderances to where God wanted to take me.
The next several years after my diagnosis was spent relearning how to take back or shall I say...reclaim that power.
Many positive things were born from this newly reclaimed power including my dignity, self-esteem, and authority.
I created this podcast to help show you that if I can do it...so can you!
Join me each week on Reclaiming Destiny and we can start this journey together.
I hope you can make it but more importantly...I hope this is the start of you...reclaiming your destiny.

Are You A Pick Me?
"Pick Me Syndrome" describes a pattern where individuals seek validation by constantly striving to be chosen or approved by others, often at the expense of their own needs or self-worth. This behavior can stem from deeper self-esteem issues and may lead to feelings of inadequacy or resentment. To support those who may be experiencing these challenges, we'll share a quick affirmation to help boost self-confidence and promote a healthier sense of self.
Feel free to repeat the following affirmation as many times as you need to: I AM ENOUGH

"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength;’ this is the first commandment." (Mark 12:30 KJV)
In this episode, we explore a fundamental question for anyone seeking meaningful relationships: Are you attracting love, or are you chasing after it? Join us as we break down the crucial differences between inviting genuine connection into your life and tirelessly pursuing it.
Being in the Flow: Discover why it’s essential to be in harmony with the universe and allow your desires to come to you, rather than forcing outcomes.
Energetic Match: Learn how becoming an energetic match to what you want creates space for authentic love and abundance to enter your life.
The Price of Chasing: We discuss how chasing after love or other desires can sometimes lead to disappointment or result in getting what you want—but at a cost that leaves you feeling unfulfilled.
