doctor Baby. My name is Nicole Schauffner. I am a
CEO and owner of Serenity Solutions and with my organization
that I recently started. So I'm still in the new
process trying to get everything together.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I plan on you know. I am a.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Mental health coach, stified mental health coach, and I would
like to specialize in working with the youth, also young
single mothers who may have experienced like anxiety, depression, or
may have even been through you know, some situations that
I've went through in the past, such as you know,
the domestic violence. With the organization, I also would like
(02:57):
to have one on one verse group sessions and also
trying to provide resources for the youth and you know
the single mom's whether it's continuing education, jobs, housing, you know,
things in that nature. I am a mother of two
and I am a first time grandmother of one and
(03:20):
also of women of God. Oh I muted myself. I
heard you sharing so much and everything that you were saying.
I see you wear a lot of hats, and one
of the things that stood out to me was one
of your Kingdom projects. They helped with mothers and women
and I have a nonprofit and so this is why
(03:42):
it's good that Kingdom come together because that could be
some future collaborations that we do in the future.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You just never know.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So I'm excited about your ministry. I'm excited about your
ministry as it sounds very impactful, and then your ministry
at home. As you said, you are a mother, and
so thank you for sharing about who you are and
what you do and all the Kingdom projects you're really
out there shaking some things. And so congratulations on that.
And so now you have added what co author to
(04:13):
your list of things that you're doing in the Kingdom
for God, because as you said that you are a
woman of God.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Again, we are doing the book collaboration interviews of the
co authors for the Breaking the Change anthology with the
visionary doctor Lashonda Wolford, and you are definitely one of
the co authors. And so I want to ask you,
as I've asked every co author that came on, what
made you say yes to this project? I said yes
(04:46):
because for one, it was Dodor Lashawn's vision, or she
calls it one of her downloads from God. And also,
you know, we had talked before, like she knew that
I wanted to get into writing. So when she presented
the opportunity for me, I was just like, okay, that's
it's a great opportunity. And my I had to tell
(05:08):
myself it's either now or never. So I had to
kind of get out my conference zone and just go
ahead and jump out there and do this project with
doctor Lashanda.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That's good. That's good. I love that. I love that.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And so when I want to ask you, when she
did ask you about joining this project.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Are you You're not an author?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Right? You have never been an author? This is your
first right, never been an author, you know. Besides, like
just never been a published author. So you know, I
dibble and dabble at home on my path, you know,
but never been.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
A published author. And you know, it was a great opportunity.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So I did not want to turn down this great
opportunity to one grow, learn and of course, you know,
make one of my dreams come true. Absolutely, because anthologies
are definitely a learning process and things that can really
be a launching pad into the next part.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Of your ministre history.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So you know, I'm excited and I wanted to ask
this question, and I wanted to ask you that first,
what is your chapter without telling us?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
We don't want any details anything detailed about your chapter.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Sorry, doctor Bailey. You went out a little.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Bit what you wrote about in your chapter?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, I heard you. I think you said, tell us
a little bit about your chapter without going into details. Yeah, absolutely,
and what made you write you know, what you wrote
about in your chapter? My chapter was based on traditions
of release and incorporating mindfulness and meditation practices and also
(07:03):
building a personal traditional or of breaking generational curses. So
we all kind of spoke. I think on personal situations.
I know I did for myself and I try to
entertaine my personal situations with my topics.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You know a lot of times when we go we
go through things, and we go through a lot of things.
You know, uh, meditating and definitely on the word of
God is definitely what we you know, one of the
key things that push us through and get us through
the things that we are going through. I'm excited to
read Breaking the Traditions, you know, the release part, as
(07:47):
I know that's going to set a lot of people free,
a lot of people free. And I want to know
what what do you say? What could you share with
someone who is even thinking of writing? Okay, because this
is going to be good because you are first time author, right,
this is your first time doing things. What would you
say to someone who's listening, who want to write for
(08:07):
the first time, who want to go in business for
the first time, who want to do ministry for the
first time, because you are definitely like literally living out
those first moments. What advice could you give to someone
who's listening. I honestly, I would say, tomorrow is not promised.
So don't hesitate. Do it. If you put in your
mind to something that you really want to do, just
(08:30):
go ahead and jump out there and do it. Just
take the risk, even though you may be nervous or scared.
Just take the risk because in the end the reward
is so much worse you taking the risk, instead of
letting another day or another week or another year past
you and you haven't made that first step.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Absolutely, just do it right and just do it. Just
do it, do it, do it. That's good there. I'm
glad that you share.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
That that you know you have to take that step.
You have to take that risk because a lot of
times going forward is that that's exactly what you have
to do. You have to be the one to step
out and be willing, to be willing. And so I
it leads me to ask you. I don't know why
I keep wanting to say, doctor Nicole, but if you
(09:20):
like that, I don't know, but I want to know,
you know, like like what do you have planned as
far as like your you know, intertwining, maybe you know
your call, you know your book with your ministry?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Is this going to be some type of.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You know, uh, tool to help the women that's in
your ministry going forth, or you know, what are your
plans as far as like even becoming an author, are
you thinking about writing.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Your own doing some journals?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Like what are your plans from even you know, coming
off this launching path for this Kingdom project. Yes, ma'am,
I hope that you know, some young woman or young
girl or even a woman my age can relate to
my story, and I hope that my story helps them,
(10:10):
you know. See, like I'm trying not to give too
many details, but just speaking on like I went through,
you know, some dark moments in my life and some
days I felt like I was not gonna see that
that light or that sunshine at the end of the tunnel.
But just know that, you know, God is always there, always,
(10:32):
you know, if he's.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Not holding your hand, he's carrying you through.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And just know that if you can make it through
pretty much those dark moments, you can make it.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Through anything in life.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And I feel like it's only gonna make you strong
as a person. So again, I just really hope that
you know, my story can help the next one. And
I do plan or would like to, you know, write
my own and more details after the project. Absolutely, that's good.
(11:04):
That's good what I'm telling you. I'm super excited to
read your chapter. I'm super excited about everything that you're
doing and how this is going to connect because this
is so much bigger than a chapter, so much bigger
than a chapter. I do believe this is a great
launching pad for your next and I can't we wait
to read the chapter about the release, releasing, releasing, releasing
(11:29):
in order to break those generational curses. It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:33):

about the conference that doctor Leshawna. Wolford is going to

are going to be there. So if you know some
of these co authors on social media, if you're going

setbacks and learn FRO strategies to overcome life obstacles and
