This episode of Let's Talk About It with Dora Sherry features Ramse Rogers, CEO of TerraNova Alliance, who discusses her company's mission to address the affordable housing crisis and provide safe living environments.

TerraNova Alliance Mission and Model

Ramse Rogers built TerraNova Alliance to create "affordable housing" and "safe haven communities" for those who lack a safe place to live, driven by her background in real estate investing and a passion for philanthropic work. The company serves multiple demographics, including:

• The workforce and transient workers.
• Individuals coming out of treatment or re-entry programs.
• At-risk and homeless youth.
• Survivors of human trafficking.

The model emphasizes community, providing a safe environment for residents as they go through treatment and programs. Residents start in a co-living environment and can "graduate" to more independent living options like duplexes and ADUs within the community.

Operations and Philosophy

• Scope: TerraNova operates nationwide, with Ramse based in Idaho, and works with nonprofit organizations (like COBS in Idaho), local authorities (especially for survivors of human trafficking), and insurance companies.
• Property Focus: The company revamps RV parks, often adding value by placing tiny homes or additional pads, converting them for use as workforce housing or safe haven communities, depending on the demand and location.
• Long-Term Goal: The ultimate aim is to build a sufficient portfolio to donate portions of the properties to nonprofits that need shelter for the targeted demographics.

Symbolism: TerraNova's symbol is the Phoenix, representing the journey of rising from the ashes to find "hope, freedom, and prosperity," which aligns with the company's core values of honesty and transparency.

Join Dora Sherry as she welcomes her niece, author Becky Vaughn, to the show for a powerful discussion about faith, tragedy, and the love of God. Becky shares her incredible life story, beginning with surviving a house fire at two and a half years old, which left most of her body with third-degree burns and led to the loss of her fingers. She discusses the inspiration behind her book, No Greater Love, revealing the immense sacrifice her mother made to save her life—a sacrifice that led to over 65 reconstructive surgeries in Becky's lifetime. Becky opens up about growing up in a wheelchair, struggling with anger as a teenager, and eventually finding acceptance and purpose through her faith, grounded in the belief that she is "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14). Hear about how her father helped found Hidden Treasure Christian School, her journey to earning a degree in biblical counseling, and the independence she found driving with specialized hand controls. Finally, learn about her current ministry, Eternal Perspective, and her passion for addiction and recovery work.

Host Dora Sherry welcomes JoAnn Kisler, owner of Breath of Energia Healing, for a powerful conversation about how women can unlock their greater purpose and heal from a lifetime of challenges. JoAnn shares how her unique technique—which focuses on recognizing the importance of the breath and breathing energy into the chakras—helps women go from being a "reactor to a conscious creator" of their own lives.

They delve into the concept of a "soul map" to uncover and heal generational and ancestral trauma, sometimes tracing issues back to in utero experiences. JoAnn explains the importance of shifting from a victim to a survivor mindset. She also discusses her upcoming retreat, "In My Mother's Eyes," which is designed to help women heal the mother wound. The conversation also covers her corporate workshops, which help balance management and employees by addressing workplace stress and anxiety. Finally, Joanne shares resources including her book, Finding Your Flow Through Your Chakras, and free meditations on her website, www.breathofenergiahealing.com.
