In 2009, I created my first vision board and on it I wrote that I would be a motivational speaker and author.
I had no idea what I would speak about considering in that moment I was at rock bottom. I was a single mom on food stamps, 250lbs, miserable in my life.
Someone introduced me to #gratitude and #thelawofattraction
It was a great #awakening for me.
I wished and desired to be the kind of woman that could get on a stage and inspire others. I wanted to be credible enough, so people would want to buy my books.
I wanted to lead others⦠but first I needed to lead myself⦠and that is exactly what I did.
I set out on a journey to personal development in the biggest way ever, committing to showing up as my best self everyday and when I wasnβt I would apologize, forgive and try again. π
Today I stand on stage and I own it!

Are you living your purpose??
Are you in need of a miracle?
Have you ever practiced #kundaliniyoga β
Itβs a game changer for life and especially for business. We are programmed from the day we are born with limited belief stories, fear and lack.
We live through life trying to make big moves but our patterns derail us.
Practicing #kundalini disrupts patterns and reprograms your nervous system.
This is a #miraclemantra that should be practiced for no more than 35 seconds and can be added onto other #kriyas
Make sure to #tunein to your practice by #chanting #ongnamogurudevnamo and when chanting #waheguru expand your lower abdomen and feel the power.

Heading into Monday, I hope you all have a week like Bennettβs existence...
Happy & Carefree!
I love how he rocks the beat of the music and the little tushy shake at the end... I think he got that move from me π.
Wishing you a fab week IG Fam!
Letβs declare some I amβs for this week. What are you calling in? What goals are you setting? Let set you up for a productive week!
When I was a young girl, I desperately wanted to be a model. I was overweight and far from model status. But I dragged my parents from agency to agency to only feel rejected.
My whole life growing up I struggled with weight and self love. I watched my mom struggle with her weight and I would get yelled at most of the time when I would eat... or so thatβs what I remember.
That led me to closet binge eating. Hiding cookies under my bed and indulging shamefully when no one was watching. Followed by self loathing.
Well I brought this toxic trait with me into adulthood. While I figured out how to love myself and lose the weight, even how to create model shoots for myself... I still catch myself eating in secret and in shame. An adult 41 year old woman sneaking donuts into the laundry room π.
Criticizing myself, talking down to myself and suffocating the love that Iβve worked so hard to achieve... and then I have to snap out of it.
And I stand in front of a mirror and forgive myself. I love myself for eating the donut. I love and forgive myself for feeling the need to do it in secret and shame... I look in the mirror and I speak to her! The wounded child inside.
Self love, radical self love π is a life long endeavor. You donβt just love yourself one day and poof itβs a forever love. You have to choose to love yourself everyday! Just like you have to choose to be happy everyday.
Radical self love begins with radical change! Stepping out of your comfort zone and coming face to face with your abuser, in this case you!
The abuse youβve been putting yourself through for years, can end now! The self loathing, self doubt and lack of self worth can be shifted and transmuted into self worth, self care and a radical sense of self love β€οΈ.
I can show you how! On February 28th I am hosting my annual self love day. Only 8 women will be able to attend this life altering experience in #montvalenj
We will heal the layers of shame you brought into adul

Hereβs a clip talking about how money is energy and the exchange of money actually attracts us more money. When you decide to go for it and pay for opportunities that scare you, the return is usually far greater the risk. When we hoard money we release the energy of lack and will have a hard time attracting more.
Let me know your thoughts. Open to discussion here.

I am SO excited!!
10 years ago I was broke, single mom living on food stamps. I #affirmed that I would be an #author
*
I wanted to write stories about my #life but who would listen to me? I had nothing, I accomplished nothing or so I thought about myself in that moment of defeat and desperation.
*
I still put it out there in the #universe and I believed that one day I was destined for great things.
*
The day has come!! 2 weeks ago I submitted my first article to @elephantjournal and it was published! Later that they I got a message asking me to write more and connecting me with a #VIP editor to work with!
*
This was my second article published this last #friday and now itβs on the front page!!!
*
My hardships and tragedies are now helping others to #heal and #live their best life. Are you ready to live yours?? I wrote a book called 9 secrets to living your best life and itβs FREE!! Do you want a copy?? Give me a yes or drop an emoji below ππ½
