Meet Shondtel Walker
Shondtel Walker is an astute businesswoman who has come a very long way amidst the struggles of life that many women are faced with. Shondtel is a military veteran, a sexual trauma and abuse survivor, a successful business professional, an author and a superior example of what faith looks like. Here’s how she did it.
Shondtel had to deal with herself first: she took a look in her mirror and without making excuses, she identified and then saw past her pain. She vowed to never look for the pain, but always look past it and start her healing.
A healed heart can love again and Shondtel began to love life tremendously as she focused on living her best and greatest moments ever in all of her endeavours.
Shondtel was faced with sexual, physical, and verbal trauma at a young age and those horrific acts carried on through her young adulthood. She lived for many, many years hiding behind her invisible scars until one day recently she decided that it was time to step out of her own shadow and breathe new life into her soul. Shondtel knew instantly that there was going to be a revelation of new beginnings for her. The freedom from talking about her pain helped elevate her faith and belief in herself and in others.
Shame, tears, guilt... all of those things were replaced with pride, acceptance, and a new attitude.
Look at her now. There is not a book, class or degree that could have prepared Shondtel for the greatness that she walks in now. A homeowner, business owner and an entrepreneur! She now uses her strength to encourage women globally, telling her story on television, radio, on podcasts and on radio shows and on stages across the USA and internationally.
The strength of a woman shows in her efforts to strengthen others.
Shondtel is building her legacy of being a resource to people that have been broken and want to be healed. The work is therapeutic to both her and those that reach out to her for counsel, fellowship and guidance.
Many courageous people use their careers as a way out of their darkness by switching their focus to their jobs. Others use their work to heal themselves while simultaneously helping others. Shondtel and her spouse are opening a new business that provides personal home health care to those in need and given Shondtel’s giving and compassionate spirit this is hardly surprising. Her empathy for others is derived from her own understanding of what it’s like to be in ‘need’.
Being a sought after motivational speaker, a pillar in the community, coupled with her business endeavours are examples of how life can be exactly what you want it to be no matter what it has previously dragged you through. Shondtel overcame abuse, homelessness, and trauma. She won. She is showing us how pain changes you. It worked in Shondtel’s favour and now the world gets a glimpse of what pure, aggressive success looks like. She will not stop and will encourage you along her way.
