The Paradox Between Holidays and Domestic Violence Choose to Challenge is a show designed to create a platform that change narratives surrounding the impediments the interfere with women elevating to the highest versions of themselves. This includes systems, institutions, legislation, mindsets, etc. It is a platform for deep introspective and challenging conversations. Choose to Challenge is in the third season and is a weekly show that airs each Monday at 6PM EST on e360TV.com. Tune in on Monday, 12/12/22, at 6PM ET as host LaWanna Bradford (The Bradford Group and The Bradford Group Consulting) and Jacqueline Lulu Brown, fondly known as Lulu, discuss how the joys of the holiday season can at times be darken by stressors and even mental health issues that can lead to domestic anxiety and even violence. When we think of the holiday season we often think of the joys of family, gift giving, celebration, community, and sharing. This, unfortunately, is not everyone’s reality during this time of the year. Many people experience depression, loneliness, sadness, anger, and resentment. When unbridled, these can escalate into acts that may harm the individual or loved ones. This conversation will shed light on this topic in a way to raise our level of awareness of how lived experiences and turbulent changes can result in emotional, mental, and even physical pain. Lulu reminds us that we must be mindful and sensitive to the fact that everyone is not experiencing joy, peace, and happiness during one of the most celebrated times of the year. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Jacqueline Brown spent 40+ years in the Information Technology and Engineering arena. One of the things that “Lulu” discovered during her travels across the globe was that women, in their careers, business, and ministry, were feeling the heavy burden of silently carrying their “unsaid.” These unsaid challenges are often not openly discussed because of secret shame and the fear of revealing one’s true self. In 2010, “Lulu’s” true calling and genius were burning like “fire shut up in her bones.” Additionally, Lulu received a deep calling to revolutionize today’s women in Leadership with a unique message of empowerment and freedom for the masses of Women on a level that is not taught in today’s corporate or community environment. She is a Transformational Speaker, ICF (International Coaching Federation) Certified Coach, Elevation Leader, Women’s Empowerment Consultant, Mentor, Best-Selling Author, and Licensed Minister. Lulu has spoken, coached, and mentored women and young girls across the world with India and Africa being her favorite places to bring enlightenment and power to women. Lulu’s purpose and focus with her Revolution Ascension, LLC business is to provide a safe, sacred space for open, honest, and raw conversation. She and her team bring a comfortable yet radical way of helping women see their greatness and brilliance in the middle of their challenges. #ChoosetoChallenge #LaWannaBradford #JacquelineLuluBrown #TheBradfordGroup #RevolutionAscension #domesticviolenceawareness #e360TV

Our voice is an instrument that can resound with beauty and love or be filled with anger and hate. It's an instrument that can create calm or disruption depending on the player. However, let's imagine that we aligned this instrument with a purpose that is higher than ourselves. Imagine if we set aside ego and began to play melodies that created shifts and changes to create a better world for those we encountered. Imagine, if we paused each time we decided to pick up our instrument and thought carefully about the song we were about to play. Tune in with host LaWanna Bradford (The Bradford Group/The Bradford Group Consulting) guest Audra Agen as they explore using your voice for impact and what it means to be a Woman in the Arena _____________________________________ Audra Agen is a corporate veteran with 25 years’ experience of being one of the few women in the room, and in many cases, the only one. While the women may have been outnumbered, they were all uniquely exceptional. She became fascinated learning more about them and their experiences. It became increasingly clear that these women were contributing significant value to their organizations, families and careers. Their contributions were either being taken for granted or overlooked, sometimes even by themselves. Audra aspired to change that; from that, Women in the Arena was created. It’s a platform unlike any other- it’s a celebration. The motto is to celebrate women doing extraordinary things in plain sight. Audra believes that if we start to recognize the value within ourselves, then we can start to acknowledge the value within each other. We start to see that we have more similarities than what appears on the surface. It is that knowledge that begins to change the narrative from “you are my competition” to “you are my best asset. This is life changing and as a result, world changing. This is Audra’s goal, to change the world one interview at a time through her podcast Women in the Arena Hashtags: #choosetochallenge #WomenintheArena #LaWannaBradford #AudraAgen #TBG #MakingaDifference #e360TV

The complexity that rises from this expanding work-life dexterity, can distract from a woman’s ability to maintain a healthy mind and body.

It is a platform that provides a place to shift the narrative and mindset around critical issues facing women on a domestic and global scale.
