Being able to want to give and turn any painful experiences I ever went through to be able to turn that into service to others, you know that others don't have to go through challenges that I went through. That would be the first driving force. The second is my faith in God lighting up my path and showing me the way, and putting the right mentors in my place, the right people at the right time that keep helping me grow to the next level. I feel like one of my gifts is I have an incredible network where I feel so blessed. You can't, when you feel so blessed, you can't help but want to share what you have. And so being able to, it's like, almost like when you realize you have privilege, you know, that I have an extraordinary advantage of being connected to such incredible people. I want to be able to help others build incredible network systems as well.

The best career advice I would definitely say came from my father: if you figure out how to love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. It's true, you know, when you're passionate about what you do, that's always gonna be the reward. A second piece of career advice that was also really good was: don't fall in love with your product, fall in love with the people you serve. I think that was another big one.

I think the biggest thing is to work on your limiting beliefs, and that's one of the advantages I have as a theta healer, as a practitioner and also as a person who receives the healing. When you can break past the barriers of your own mind, you can have it all. So anybody who tells you you can't have it all, it's just a limiting belief. You can have the family, the relationship, the success, the health, the wealth, you can have it all. And it might not look the way you thought it would look like. It might not come in a linear way, but don't accept that it's not possible, that you have to sacrifice one thing for another. Don't accept that.

I would say that I wasn't taught how to be a business owner. I was taught how to be an employee. My universe, my training, my academic background truly prepared me as a clinician. Both my academic and all of my practical experience prepared me to be a clinician, but then I didn't know how to channel this desire to be of greater service than what the boxes that were in front of me were allowing me to do. It was like life was showing me I had to be an entrepreneur, and I had to create something that wasn't already there for people. I had to go a step further to actually be able to break and give people more than what their options were at the time. And that wasn't easy, having to figure that out by myself without training, without the background, without the support in business. I think that's been one of my greatest challenges. And doing that, being neurodivergent, and a single mom.

The values most important to me in my work and personal life are love, meaningful connections, and integrity. I strive to approach both professional and personal relationships with authenticity, prioritizing trust, respect, and genuine care for others.
