This book is dedicated to my late father who was one of the most brilliant people I have ever known. His love and passion for reading and research were unmatched. His intelligence sparked a light in me that will burn forever. He inspired me to go beyond what I thought were limitations and excel in every area of life. Rest on daddy. You are greatly missed, and your wisdom will reach generations to come through my earthly endeavors.

FOREWORD

I first met Dr. Manning while obtaining our doctoral degrees in Educational Leadership and Management. As most conversations go with people obtaining their doctorate, the question is always, "what are you going to do with the doctorate? She was the first person who had an answer. Dr. Manning was planning to develop a talk show to discuss mental health issues like anxiety and depression which torment so many in society daily. I was not surprised when I received her call that she was producing segments for the show all while securing other women with expert knowledge in their specializations-other doctors. 

Amazingly, The Chamber Talk Show began allowing the doctors to provide practical strategies for the audience to improve the quality of life from a holistic standpoint. The show expanded a few months later, hosting people from all walks of life and designed to particularly assist adolescents, middle aged people and married couples. 

Dr. Manning is a fitness guru, and you can watch her workouts on Youtube as unique segments on The Chamber Talk Show. She realized that for people to be mentally healthy, there is a need to be physically active and not only for weight loss.  The goal is to help balance chemicals in the brain while becoming more heart healthy to prolong life.

Dr. Manning's background as an educational leader in schools and working with youth daily, she understands that this generation of children needs to be mentally healthy also. Her personal experience can help others relate to her on her wellness journey. She gives the reader a purpose to create their vision board and proves how to become and stay resilient in her book. I love that she talks about knowing who you are from God's perspective.

I had the pleasure of being a part of her academic doctorate journey and a guest on her show. It was extraordinary to see Proverbs 23:7 come to life as a man thinketh, so is he. Dr. Manning brought her vision to life
