Tony Jones is passionate about ending violence against women. In commemoration of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). On today’s episode, I am revisiting an episode where he and I discussed how and why he has spent over two decades advocating for women and the need for others to become involved.

I hope our conversation will inspire you to go from awareness to action because our collective voices and actions can make a difference in ending gender-based violence.

The journey of Jessica Tee is a testament to the transformative power of passion and purpose. Initially on a path to medicine, her volunteer work inspired a pivot to education, leading to the creation of what is now known as The Pretty Powerful Foundation. This organization is dedicated to empowering young women, helping them recognize their value, and providing a nurturing environment where they can flourish.

Her induction into ERA Wilder Realty's 2024 "Hall of Fame" speaks volumes of her impact in the industry. The Mayor of Columbia's declaration of "Nancy Johnson Day" on June 16, 2023, and the prestigious "Key to the City" award she received in June 2022, are testaments to her remarkable contributions.

On today’s podcast, I have the extreme pleasure of talking to one of my favorite people, Nicole Spain White. She is a woman who wears many hats: she is a wife, mother, sister, friend, capacity coach, my co-pastor, caregiver, and passionate teacher of Christ's word.

In honor of National Caregiver's Day, which is celebrated on the 3rd Friday in February, Pastor Nicole and I had a candid discussion about the challenges, lessons, mistakes, and joys she has experienced as a caretaker for her now 25-year-old daughter, who she calls her greatest teacher, and both her parents before their deaths. What I learned from our conversation is that caregiving is an act of love and service, caregivers will make mistakes and it is important to ask for help and engage in healthy self-care practices.

If you know someone who is among the 53 million unpaid caregivers in the United States, will you commit to seeking out ways in which you can help those who are selfishly loving others who aren't able to fully care for themselves? Because caregivers need care too!

So please grab your favorite cup of coffee or tea and join me for this enlightening conversation.

Conversation Highlights

• Her family had to trust God every step of the way.
• Caregiving involves the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of an individual.
• Give yourself and the person you are caring for grace.
• Ask for help!
• Her greatest joy has been able to serve the ones she loves!
