Over the last three years, since 2005, I have studied, learned, read up on, listened to any personal development resources.

In 2005, I heard the words “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”-Anais Nin, and I realized just how stuck in my own muck I really was.

I was happily married, had two great, happy children, the typical ‘house with a white picket fence’ lifestyle. But deep down, I didn’t feel happy.

I had always thought inner happiness came from other people, places or things. I didn’t know it came from within ourselves! And so my journey began!

For 30 years (I’ve been married 35) I had my husband drive me almost everywhere.

1. I don’t like driving.

2. I struggle with directions and finding addresses

3. I struggled with low self confidence and low self-esteem so it was easier for me if I had someone with me.

The last few years I’ve improved with my self-worth, so I now drive myself 95% of the time.

This may seem silly to some people, but this was a huge factor in my every day life.  Something that I knew would  be difficult for me to overcome, but definitely achievable.I wanted to work towards this goal so I would be a great example of being independent and increasing my self-worth.

I am an (award winning) womanpreneur, artist, speaker, empowerment leader and knowledge seeker. I share my stories of adversity with fear, in business and in life, with vulnerability and being awakened and how I boldly built a company to new levels and took risks to soar. Along my journey, my belief in myself, tenacity, courage, confidence, hope and faith grew exponentially. You will hear my message of enlightenment and my life changing principles for fearless living that will assist and inspire others to jump to their greatest potential. I hope to inspire my community to find their strength to live courageously, ignite their flame and leap joyously. I believe we should continually upgrade our dreams to preserve our road to happiness. You need to believe it can be done- this will set your mind in motion to find a way to do it.
