Shirley Lorraine Franks is a nurse author and a clinical nurse instructor. Currently, she resides in the USA. She is from the Caribbean. During her high school years at St. Theresa Catholic school in St. Kitts, where she was taught by nuns, reading/writing was her first love. It was there, at a young age, that she was influenced by affirmations. She took the teachings and influence of a St. Theresa, a nun, and learned the art and implementation of affirmations. Franks thought it would be a great idea to use affirmations as tips for nursing colleagues or for anyone who may need self-enhancement, because of lack of strong support systems, and thus, must utilize self-reliance.

Franks would like to recognize a few authors, a few authors who have influenced her throughout her career. Kevin Trudeau—who stresses the importance that leaders are readers—shrewd and intellectual motivational speaker. Jake Ducey—an inspiring author—who uses mind power to achieve things. The late Bob Proctor—a legend in philosophy, Ed Mylett—a very tenacious author and strategist influencing business mindsets and Lewis Howes, motivational author who masterminds podcast using powerful and compelling interactions’ with influential authors.

“I affirm to be a guest author on a podcast hosted by Lewis Howes,” Shirley Franks,
I would like to recognize my strong support systems, namely, Harmonii O—medical student, Sai O—Civil Engineer—both my children, and Ron S, Clinical Nurse Instructor and paramedic. Thanks for being there for me. Thanks for caring.
