In this informative and inspiring episode, I sat down with Jenna Ghisolfo, Founder and CEO of Housing Consultants of America. At just 17 years old, Jenna found herself trapped in an abusive relationship. With a baby in her arms and nowhere to go, one chance encounter led her to the only path forward at that time, which was through a Section 8 housing voucher. This brave step to leave her relationship allowed Jenna to rebuild her life. She returned to school, earned her degree, and began a career in affordable housing as a way to give back to the community that once gave her a second chance.

Seven years ago, Jenna founded Housing Consultants of America, a national company dedicated to housing individuals experiencing homelessness, veterans, and people with disabilities. Together, we explore real solutions to homelessness, the life-changing impact of housing for the vulnerable, and how advocacy and community can transform lives.

Topics include:

•Recognizing and escaping domestic abuse
•The life-changing impact of affordable housing
•Support and resources for domestic abuse survivors
•Advocacy for affordable housing in the U.S.
•Breaking the stigma around homelessness
•The power of resilience, courage, and community for life transformation

Imagine waking up after a month in a coma only to discover that everything you had worked for - and the future you had planned - was gone! In this powerful and deeply moving episode on the Grief Talk Podcast, I had the honour of speaking with Kijuan Amey. A blind U.S. Air Force veteran, mentor, coach, motivational speaker, Wounded Warrior ambassador, and the author of his new book, "Don’t Focus on Why Me: From Motorcycle Accident to Miracle".

At just 25 years old, Kijuan’s life was changed forever after a tragic motorcycle accident in 2017 left him blind. Waking up in the hospital after a month-long coma motionless, unable to speak or see, Kijuan shares what most people would consider the unimaginable challenge of rebuilding his life from the ground up.

With his grit, humour, faith, and relentless determination, Kijuan not only describes how he confronted the pain daily, but transformed his tragedy into a story of triumph and resilience to now help others feel hopeful and inspired!

In this conversation, Kijuan candidly discusses:

•His shock and panic of waking up blind.
•The gruelling physical, mental, and spiritual healing process.
•How resilience, support, humour and faith guided him through despair and depression.
•The wisdom and strength he’s gained and how he inspires others to rise above their own struggles.
As a bereaved mom for twenty years, I was profoundly moved by Kijuan’s courage and determination. His story is not just about survival but serves as a beacon of hope to help anyone find purpose in the pain and inspiration from the struggle to let their light shine bright and live again!

In this frank and poignant conversation, I sit down with psychotherapist and author Sally McQuillen, who shares the deeply personal journey behind her debut memoir Reaching for Beautiful, A Memoir of Loving and Losing a Wild Child written in honour of her 21-year-old son Christopher, who tragically died in a boating accident in January 2016. With me (Vonne) now 20 years into my grief as a bereaved mom and Sally 9 ½ years into her journey, together we explore the long road of healing after child loss in this heartfelt discussion to inspire and help parents who have lost a child or are parenting “in fear”.

Sally discusses the emotional toll of parenting a child with addiction, the deep fear that often accompanies such parenting, and how her faith became a guiding light through unimaginable loss. The conversation highlights the importance of forgiveness, letting go of guilt, and the role of spiritual practices in helping anyone bereaved find meaning and peace in their loss.

Together, we unpack the layered impact of grief on surviving children, the crucial role of self-care, and how different types of loss - such as suicide, sudden or expected death can shape our bereavement experience. We open up about our spiritual connections with our children, and the comfort we’ve found through mediumship and faith, and the enduring power of love and gratitude as essential to both of our healing processes.

This episode is a powerful reminder that while grief may never fully go away, we can still find purpose, connection, and joy on the other side of deep sorrow if we allow ourselves to find all that we can in our loss experience.

As Christopher often said to his mom and I would suggest now imparts this as a major life lesson for us all:

“Life is honestly so beautiful, as long as you allow it to be.”

In Episode Five “Sick of the BS? How to Take Back Control of Your Life – Right Now!” I dive into what it really means to feel stuck in a rut and how to reclaim your power starting today. I’ll share some of the common emotional signs indicating that you may be stuck - feelings like chronic frustration, stagnation, impatience, and regret - and how mindset is everything when it comes to making genuine lasting change.

Knowing the difference between settling and compromising is crucial to making decisions that support your personal growth ✨ and align with the life you truly want. I’ll also unpack the evolving role of gratitude - how it shifted from a sacred spiritual practice into a pop cultural movement tied to a “performance-driven mindset”. Which has left many people feeling disillusioned when their goals don’t manifest and they don’t know why!

To help you move forward with clarity and purpose, I offer three essential action steps to help you:

1. Reset your thoughts and bring the focus back to genuine gratitude and self-awareness as the real catalysts for meaningful change.

2. Give you the tools to immediately start taking responsibility for your life.

3. Guide you through signs and action steps to become the best manager and guardian of your life - starting today!

If you want to break free from the patterns keeping you stuck and start living with purpose and power this episode is for you! Join me on the podcast as we cut through the noise together - so you can take back control of your life! It’s your time. And if you’re ready for support, I’m here to help you show up for it!

Welcome back to Lost in the Noise! In Ep. 4, I want to share more of myself with you—why I started this series and what I bring to the table to help you carve out a clearer path to truly knowing yourself and owning your power!🌟

Self-discovery is a journey.🛤️ I know how overwhelming it can feel to navigate who you are while balancing expectations placed on you by family, friends, work, society and even yourself! It’s easy to lose sight of who you are and what you really want when you're constantly prioritizing others and haven’t made time for self-care.🌱

I was like that too. Losing my daughter, Janaya, to suicide in 2005 changed everything. It pushed me to find deeper meaning for my life and inspired my purpose work that I continue to this day.🩷

In this episode, I share with you the story behind why I started the Lost in the Noise series and the 3 greatest gifts we can give ourselves for powerful transformation. I also delve into why self-exploration, finding meaning for your life and living with authenticity matters in a rapidly ever-changing world. What makes us tick? Why we want what we want? Questions that are worth asking—especially in a world that often tells us who we should be before we even get a chance to decide this for ourselves.💭

I know what it is to lose sight of oneself, the weight of grief and searching for meaning, which creates a lot of stress and anxiety. But I also know there’s a way through.⚡ Which is exactly what the Lost in the Noise series is all about! Whether you’re just starting your journey or deep into your self-exploration🪞, I’m here to help you live your life with more clarity and confidence from the wisdom I’ve gained through lived experience and the tools I use in my own healing and transformation.📖💡🦋
