Victoria sits down for a moving conversation with former U.S. Ambassador to The Bahamas, Nicole Avant. Nicole shares an inspiring American story from her book, THINK YOU’LL BE HAPPY: Moving through Grief with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude - the story of her family- and offers hope and inspiration for anyone facing some of life’s most difficult moments. Speaking from personal experience, she offers a historical perspective on how to transform pain and tragedy into purpose and love.

Before this unfortunate event took place, Nicole focused her time on business, filmmaking, philanthropy and diplomacy. As the daughter of legendary music mogul Clarence Avant and indomitable civic activist Jacqueline Avant, she grew up in a world of glamor and privilege in Beverly Hills, learning from brilliant thinkers, artists, writers, musicians, and politicians.

Victoria is joined by author, Bible teacher, and television host Sheila Walsh to discuss her recently released Advent devotional, The Gifts of Christmas.

A Grammy-nominated recording artist, Sheila has recorded over 24 albums. Sheila’s books have sold almost 6 million copies, including multiple bestsellers It’s Okay Not To Be Okay, Praying Women, and her new book Holding On When You Want To Let Go.

Dr. Anita Phillips, trauma therapist, life coach, and minister joins Victoria today. Dr. Anita is widely recognized as a thought leader at the intersection of mental health, faith, and culture, she holds degrees from the University of Maryland and Regent University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
