To prepare for this day, Lia asked God to give her a message that people really need. When it was her time to take the stage, nerves kicked in but Lia was able to look down at her Valencia Key “Love Check”, “Joy Check” and “Peace Check” bracelets and be reminded to go out there and pour love, Joy, and peace into the world.   Lia takes us on her journey from being homeless in Philadelphia as a child through the many transitions that brought her to the present day.  Lia’s mother gave her a pair of earrings and told her to never leave the house without her earrings because they represent the light within you.  Her mother’s words planted a seed that connected her to the power of beautiful images and symbols that radiate.   Lia began to sketch pictures of jewelry as a hobby. She was working as a hair and make-up professional when she met Jamie Kern Lima (It Cosmetics) and Vicky Tsai (Tatcha Beauty) who took her under their wings.  She had the opportunity to see how the two of them were offering their gifts to the world and she began to see and understand her own gift, and the possibility of her jewelry.   Lia explains how she uses her own life to create the jewelry designs.  She looks at some challenging moments to identify how she made it through those times. Those concepts translate into her sketches.  For example, her Valencia Key Rooted Collection is to remind us to choose to plant our roots in a positive, powerful place.   BRAG ON YOU: Lia brags on her gift to change the atmosphere of the room.   WORD OVER EVERYTHING: Psalms 1:3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.   GUEST CONTACT: Website: www.valenciakey.com Lia Valencia Key on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liavalenciakey/ Valencia Key Jewelry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valenciakeydesign/ Valencia Key Jewelry on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/valenciakey   PODCAST CONTACT: Website:  www.authenticityovereverything.com Free download 25 Affirmations for Authenticity!

EP 14: JOY.  What is it?  How to you get it? In Episode 14, we have a conversation with, Motivator and Life Coach, Vonn, about Joy.   Vonn is one of those people that lights up a room.  Regardless on life situations (which we all have), Vonn seems to quickly bounce back to a place of pure Joy.  Angela asks Vonn how she does it.   Vonn explains how joy and happiness are different.  Vonn points out that the use of word joy is typically associated with the church or the Bible.  In everyday life people are seeking happiness.  Joy seems to escape most of our reality as humans.    Joy takes intention.  Joy can be found in quiet time with one’s self and simply asking, “What brings me joy?”  Vonn advises that if joy seems too far to reach, start with what makes you happy until happiness turns into joy.   Joy is not associated with any circumstances.  It is not impacted by what happens outside of you.  Joy comes from the inside.  We are born with joy.  It’s in inside of each of us.  The journey is to uncover it.   WORD OVER EVERYTHING: Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.   Book Club & Community: CLICK HERE for the wait list.

Welcome to The Authenticity Over Everything Podcast. What does it mean to truly “be yourself”? Do you show up transparently honest in your friendships, in romantic relationships, and in business? What forces attempt to define you? Religion? Media? A desire for approval? The key to your greatest breakthrough is not a solid business plan. It’s not the strength of your network. It’s especially not your hustle mentality. Your ultimate success comes when you learn to JUST BE YOU. Listen each week as Angela Duckett has honest conversations with women about their triumphs, their failures, and how authenticity (or lack thereof) has impacted their journey. It's never too late to become who you were meant to be, but this time the key ingredient is Authenticity Over Everything!
