Former Navy Seal Commander Tells Us About Resilience & Leadership

Today's Featured Guest is The Forgiveness Coach, Stephanie McNeal.  When a woman’s partner is unfaithful, it is not uncommon for their entire life to unravel. This unraveling is what was used not only as the catalyst for Stephanie’s brokenness, but the passion behind her healing and restoration. Her passion and pleasure is to see women bounce back from whatever was the catalyst for their brokenness or stressful experience, forgive everyone who hurt them and live out their God given purpose. She helps women go from heartbreak to happy so that ultimately they grow as women and have the power and passion to be freed to love. Through her forgiveness coaching journey, Stephanie discovered that it takes three things to recover from brokenness. Process, accountability and community. Her education and training includes an MBA in Marketing; Certification in P.R.E.P. - a scientifically-based, empirically-tested method of teaching relationship education sponsored by the National Institutes of Health; a licensed facilitator of Identity and Destiny which provides a step-by-step guide to help you find, know and live your God given purpose. She also has certifications to teach entrepreneurship to adults and children. Newly single, she is the mother of four and loves reading, writing, learning and the adventure of travel.
