The Truth About Soulmates
Reclaiming Destiny
Reclaiming Destiny is a show for all those that know they are destined for more! Hosted by author, entrepreneur, life coach, and motivational speaker, Cici Stephen, each episode will dive deeper into the issues and topics that can impact most of our daily lives and have a lingering effect on our purpose. Come join us on the path to reclaiming our destiny, as we begin to challenge the people, places, and things that dare to stand in our way.
Listen on:
It's Time To Reclaim...
We are at a tipping point. We can no longer sit on the sidelines of our lives. We must rise...we must heal...and we must reclaim our destiny.
After being diagnosed with Complex PTSD in 2018, after years of traumatic experiences, I was hit with the realization of how much I had given my power away to people, places and things that did not honor who I was or more importantly, were hinderances to where God wanted to take me.
The next several years after my diagnosis was spent relearning how to take back or shall I say...reclaim that power.
Many positive things were born from this newly reclaimed power including my dignity, self-esteem, and authority.
I created this podcast to help show you that if I can do it...so can you!
Join me each week on Reclaiming Destiny and we can start this journey together.
I hope you can make it but more importantly...I hope this is the start of you...reclaiming your destiny.

In this episode of "In Sickness and In Health," we dive deep into the ways health challenges impact marriages and long-term partnerships. Join us as we discuss the promises, the pressures, and the profound moments couples face when illness enters the relationship.
We’ll explore how couples navigate the vows of "in sickness and in health," sharing real stories and expert insights.
Notably, a 2015 study from Iowa State University found that 32% of marriages in their sample ended in divorce, highlighting the real challenges couples may face when health issues arise.
Whether you’re in a relationship, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the impact of health on love and commitment, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical tips.
Tune in for an honest conversation about love, resilience, and the realities couples face when health is on the line.
