THE NEXT CHAPTER

🕊️ SERVING WITH A PURPOSE 🕊️

As the founder of “Shalisa’s Sisters”, it’s important to me that you have a deeper understanding about why I do the work that I do to empower and educate women/girls after they survived Domestic Violence. Here’s my “Serving with a Purpose Story”.

Over a decade ago, my daughter experienced Domestic Violence at the hands of her father and since that time, I was determined to heal, thrive and support other women/girls with rebuilding their lives after similar experiences. In 2018, I founded, “Shalisa’s Sisters” and started the “Winning Every Wednesday Newsletter” on my LinkedIn page, to provide a safe haven to encourage women to speak their truths, empower them, share resources, and provide a safe space for them connect with a community of like-minded females.

In 2025, Shalisa’s Sisters evolved and the “Sisterly Strength Showcase Newsletter” was added to my page. The newsletter is designed to provide vital resources for women and girls affected by Domestic Violence & Trauma, while highlighting the incredible work of female entrepreneurs & advocates around the world who are tirelessly working to end Gender-Based Violence.

The Sisterly Strength Showcase Newsletter is Empowering Women & Changing Lives!

REFLECT & CONNECT!

📍 “REFLECT”

In this section, I focus on the importance of Reflection about what goals “Shalisa’s Sisters” has accomplished in 2024 and for you to gain clarity, develop personal growth, and learn from past experiences.

I must be fully transparent—I recently transitioned from publishing the "Winning Every Wednesday Newsletter" that I wrote and published on my LinkedIn page for 7 years. I was deeply committed then and now to supporting women and girls through their transition of healing after Domestic Violence & trauma.

However, due to new demands in both my personal and professional life, I’ve had to reorganize my time more efficiently, while continuing to provide genuine and valuable resources to my very loyal subscribers. That’s why I now publish the “Sisterly Strength Showcase Newsletter”. I now have the opportunity to focus more on other aspects of my life that are equally important as “Shalisa’s Sisters” and the newsletter. Thank you for your patience during these growing pains.

🎯 Now let’s catch up…

For me, 2024 had its peaks and valleys. The Peaks of last year were, my daughter and I moved into a beautiful and spacious apartment. I started a new job in a completely different field of work and learned new skills. My lovely daughter graduated high school with Honors at age 17, we celebrated her 18th birthday, and we commemorated her special day at the “Hello Kitty Café” in Irvine California, went to an amusement park, spent a day at the beach, then ended the weekend by going to an arcade; I think I had more fun than she did! After I sold my car, my uncle was kind enough to purchase another one for me and trust me I was thankful because Summer in Arizona is blazing hot!

At the end of the year, I had the opportunity to write and publish the following eBooks/journals:

✔️ eBook - “Prep Like a Pro: Eating Healthy for Busy Women” Mothers and all women can learn simple techniques on how to prep food with batch cooking, storing batched meals, freeing up your time, and saving money on groceries.

✔️ eBook - “Joyful Reflections” The journal is your personal companion to help you embrace mindfulness, gratitude, and reflection, fostering a life filled with peace, purpose, and happiness.

✔️ eBook - “Soulful Essence: My Self-Care Journal” When you prioritize yourself, you’ll recharge, refocus, and have the energy to keep doing all the things you want and need to do. Remember, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s Essential!

✔️ eBook - “Unchained, An Empowering Guide to Safely Breaking Free from Domestic Violence” I began revamping this eBook from a previous writing that I wrote and released in 2023. In this version, I take a deeper dive into my personal journey of surviving, healing, discovering more about myself, and ultimately thriving. The guide also offers a comprehensive safety plan for women looking to leave an abusive relationship, along with practical community resources and much more. *The tentative re-release date is December 31, 2025.

📍 All my publications are available in my Stan Store (https://stan.store/ShalisaLWall) as well as on the Lulu website (https://www.lulu.com/); just search my name, Shalisa L. Wall and you’ll find my eBooks & Journals.

Of course, I can’t leave out the Valleys that happened to me in 2024 because in this thing called “LIFE” things don’t always go according to my plans. I lost my job, my new car stopped working, I experienced a brief housing and financial crisis and as a single mother; I want to be a good provider, but when I wasn’t able to do that I became; depressed, anxious and began to doubt that our lives would get better, but GOD stepped in and bought me through these hardships once again! I was also thankful for the love & support of my family & friends during this very trying time. When I’m down, prayer and determination to rise above the struggle is always my goal. During this time, I did a lot of soul-searching and now have a fresher perspective for my life....
