Encouraging women to live wellShattering our individual "glass ceilings"Today's episode unveils a combination of some of Zenobia's personal reflections; both recent and long-standing. One, in particular, is the Kinder and Gentler Campaign, that she is asking her audience to help her advance. Another is the "glass ceiling" that has been imposed on all of us, while the glass escalator and elevator have been designed for many of our counterparts.

Stormie Omartian's You Have a Great Purpose is the subject of this week's encouragement. In the midst of endless and often contradicting perspectives found in articles, books, blogs, movies, talk shows, and endless social media, who we are and what's meant for us, as individuals, gets lost. They tell us who we are and who we should be. Still, there's a sense that what's being said doesn't fit YOU. So, the question 'what is your purpose?' begs further contemplation and, ultimately, a response.
