In this episode, we meet the dynamic Chief Master Sargent Shakela Matthews (congratulations on the fresh promotion). This woman is serving our country in more ways than one. I thank Shakela for her service in the United States Air Force, and I am mesmerized by her other service as author, coach, leader, mentor, and sister friend. In this captivating interview we see the genuineness and openness of Shakela. The list of topics we hit during this 45 minute are plentiful:

• Being on the proverbial hamster wheel.
• Dating for money, a mistake we’ve all made
• The network of the military and how it changes lives for the good
• Divorce and isolation
• Leading yourself and others
• Hitting the reset button
• Much, Much, More

Shakela Matthews is a wife, mother, author, and certified life coach that empowers women to rise from the ashes of their past and embrace a life of healing and peace. As the founder of Divinely Restored, a faith-based empowerment movement, she helps women rebuild by fostering transformation, reclaiming their power, and creating a foundation for healthy relationships and impactful leadership. As a seasoned speaker, she has inspired thousands at events like the Leadership Experience Tour and Empower Her Summit. Her work has been featured in ABC, NBC, Tapin Magazine, and Hermes International Woman’s Magazine.
