In this powerful episode of Marriage, Motherhood & PTSD, Coach Leah sits down with Shalena Broaster — known worldwide as Shalena D.I.V.A., the Purpose Driven Diva — to talk about something every busy woman needs but rarely prioritizes: herself.

This conversation goes far beyond productivity or business strategy. Together, we explore how women can reclaim their peace, rediscover their purpose, and create a life that reflects their God-given gifts — even while juggling marriage, motherhood, and a full plate of responsibilities.

Shalena shares her personal journey of uncovering her natural talents through hardship and necessity, and how self-care became her foundation for success. From early-morning routines to quieting your spirit, gratitude journaling, building daily discipline, and even using tools like ChatGPT as a personal assistant — she breaks down practical steps women can take to stop surviving and finally start thriving.
