WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE THAT IS EXPERIENCING A ROADBLOCK IN THEIR JOURNEY?

Keep visualizing your end goal. There will be many times that you doubt yourself, make mistakes, or feel frustrated. You may work endless hours and still not see the results you desire. Everyone experiences some type of roadblock along their journey. The key is to not abandon your dreams. Take the time to reground yourself and focus on the good things you have created in your life. Allow yourself to get into that state of gratitude and not get distracted by a negative mindset, just envision your dreams. You can achieve it all.

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR CAREER PATH?

After my twin boys were born, I started paying more attention to the ingredients on labels, not only for our food, but also our skincare products. Fortunately, with a background in biosciences and occupational health and safety, it made this a little easier for me. There were a lot of hidden chemicals and fillers in the products we were using. Additionally, my children were diagnosed with a variety of allergies when they were little, so I found it challenging to find natural products that were safe and that took allergies to gluten, dairy and nuts into account. As a result, I started making my own herbal salves and various skincare remedies to use on their skin.

WHAT ACTIVITY INSPIRES AND MOTIVATES YOU TO BE YOURSELF AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE?

Taking the time to pray and meditate on a regular basis allows me the opportunity to get into a more positive state and eliminate that mind chatter that I think we all experience. In this elevated state, I can focus on what I want to create in my life as well as my business.

Over the years as I developed my spiritual practice, it not only helped me to heal things that happened in my personal life, but it also helped me transform my business, so the emphasis was on providing intentional beauty products. I wanted to help women feel empowered so they could manifest their dreams. The gratitude I feel when I receive messages from clients who tell their stories about how they were able to manifest more love, confidence, and abundance from being intentional in their self-care practices further inspire me to keep going.

WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF EMPOWERED?

To me, empowered means that you have made a conscious decision to take charge of your destiny. That you have found your inner strength and are drawing on your own personal power while making positive choices in your life.
