Demetria Winters is a Mental Health Advocate, author, entrepreneur, nurse & veteran. As a survivor of childhood trauma & diagnosed with Major Depression, she set out to find a way to effect change in mental health & alleviate stigma in the black community.
Focusing on black women, like herself, she seeks to provide education & support by doing workshops and being involved in political, economic & clinical forums. That led to her founding Black Butterfly Queens Life Coaching for black women seeking to overcome their mental & emotional challenges and finding their purpose.
Loving to write as part of her own self-care, she decided to take that love to a new level by becoming an author on 2 book collaborations: Wake Up Winning No Matter What Vol 2: Losing is Not an Option and the devotional book/workbook bundle Step Into Your Power.
Prior to that, she worked in Women and Infant Services for 20 years and was in the Army for 8 years. She's currently an executive member of Southern Crescent Women in Business, Clayton/Dekalb Chapter. As the Director of Aim High Solutions Corp, she helps coordinate activities and events for at risk youth and their families.
This week on the pod, I have a raw & honest convo with Demetria as she talks about how to transform your pain into power. We all have trauma and baggage that held us back in so many areas of our lives.
But, with the right guidance and tools in your self healing toolkits, you can emerge on the other side and transform your life, like a caterpillar into a butterfly. I hope by hearing Demetria's story, you too are inspired to turn your own pain into your power.
Remind yourself that you have the ability to completely change your life and no longer be held back by the dark moments you lived through. Give yourself permission to rewrite your life story and take the steps you need in order to transform into a beautiful butterfly🐛🦋
