Stories That Heal
At Hope+Wellth, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling. Stories allow us to learn, grow, and heal by sharing our experiences with others. Whether you’re sharing a real-life experience, a fictional tale with a message rooted in truth or an anonymous account of a personal journey, your story has the potential to inspire, comfort and empower others.
We invite you to submit your personal stories to be featured in our magazine. Your story can be submitted anonymously or you can choose to share your name—whatever feels most comfortable for you. Our hope is to create a safe space where voices are heard, hearts are touched and healing begins.
To submit your story, email us at stories@hopeandwellth.com. We look forward to reading your unique experiences and celebrating the power of storytelling together.
Confidence Isn’t About Being Unshakable: It’s About Knowing That Even When You’re Shaken, You Will Rise
By Dr. KiKi Ramsey, CEO of Positive Psychology Coaching and Diversity Institute
Living a life of confidence without compromising who you are means embracing the fullness of your authentic self and unapologetically stepping into your power. For me, it’s about aligning my life and decisions with my core values, my purpose, and the vision I hold for myself—not the expectations others place on me. It’s about understanding that confidence doesn’t come from being perfect; it comes from being real.
Confidence starts with knowing yourself. I’ve learned that the key to truly living authentically is spending time reflecting on my beliefs, my strengths, and even my vulnerabilities. When I embrace the parts of me that make me unique, I’m able to show up fully in the world. For example, I’m a Black woman, a mother, a wife, and a CEO who has faced her share of challenges, but I’ve also discovered my passion for helping other women thrive. That passion fuels my confidence because I know I’m walking in my purpose.
