Lori Brooks Bremer Long & Stephanie Colon

They emphasize how intentional support within the Lakeland community creates a “ripple effect” of success.

In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Lori Brooks Bremer Long and Stephanie Colon, the visionary founders of Empowered Evolve. More than just a group, they describe their initiative as a “movement” dedicated to helping individuals—particularly women—reclaim their worth, discover their purpose, and transition from a mindset of competition to one of collaboration.

Lori and Stephanie discuss the unique challenges women face, often placing themselves at the bottom of their own priority lists while juggling professional and family responsibilities. Through their workshops and retreats, they aim to help women “fill their own buckets” first so they can more effectively pour into others.

Whether you are looking to advance your career, heal from past trauma, or simply connect with a group of like-minded leaders, Lori and Stephanie’s high-energy and faith-based approach offers a roadmap for evolving into your best self. 121
