In this inspiring and deeply honest episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer welcomes Rhonda M. Farrah—educational counselor, psychotherapist, lifestyle empowerment coach, speaker, and breast cancer thriver—for a conversation about resilience, responsibility, and reclaiming your personal power.

With more than 25 years of experience helping others heal, Rhonda shares how her own life challenges—including incarceration for a non-violent offense, breast cancer, failed relationships, and financial hardship—became catalysts for transformation rather than setbacks. She reframes these experiences as “midlife opportunities” and explains how each one helped her rediscover her sense of self.

A central theme of the episode is Rhonda’s powerful philosophy: “Fix your reflection first.” True healing, confidence, and fulfillment begin by learning to love, respect, and appreciate the person you see in the mirror. Rhonda reminds listeners—especially women over 40—that we often give our power away by prioritizing others over ourselves, leading to repeated patterns in health, relationships, and self-worth.

Rhonda also introduces her simple yet profound formula for living an empowered life: Gratitude + Forgiveness = Freedom. She walks listeners through a practical forgiveness exercise involving writing letters—to yourself and to those who have caused harm—as a way to release resentment, heal emotionally, and move forward unburdened.

This episode is a reminder that you are not broken, you are not behind, and you are not alone. No matter what you’ve been through, you have the power to choose growth, healing, and a life that truly reflects who you are becoming.
