When so much in her world seemed to fall apart, this trailblazer refused to let adversity have the final say. Instead, she became a catalyst for faith fueled transformation on a global scale. In this episode, Elaine Lankford, former nurse and founder of the She Steps Forward International, shares how her life was upended by professional loss and personal grief only to discover a higher calling that would influence and change the lives of women entrepreneurs globally from the United States all the way to the continent of Africa. Elaine’s story of perseverance, faith, and bold vision proves that even after the most devastating setbacks, overcoming challenges and leading and serving others on a global scale is possible. If you’ve ever doubted whether your pain could be the start of something greater, this conversation will reignite your hope and determination.
