Embrace the dawn of a new year with the wisdom of Sharon Jones, licensed marriage and family therapist whose work with Alabaster Moments Consultant LLC is lighting the way for a revolution in mental health support. As our cherished guest, Sharon's expertise and passion for empowering individuals, especially within faith-based communities, is palpable. She brings to the table a unique blend of innovative workshops, coaching, and training that transcends traditional therapy. With her book "Alabaster Moments" as a backdrop, she reminds us that self-compassion isn't just a feel-good phrase but a potent tool for personal transformation, and she uncovers the power of a personal wellness plan—even for the therapist.
Our conversation travels from the charming streets of Coushatta , Louisiana, to the rich cultural landscape of Beoko Island in Equatorial Guinea, where Sharon's engagement extends to preserving an indigenous heritage and diving into the Bubi language. Listeners are treated to a special discount offer for her literary work, a gentle nudge to recognize the pivotal alabaster moments in their own lives. We close our enlightening chat with a quote from the one and only Oprah Winfrey, echoing Sharon's sage advice to live with intention, savoring each joy, no matter the size, with gracious self-kindness.
