"Living the knowledge of God while raising self mastery and endurance equals success for me." Why? Everything I need is in the One Who Created me. To live from that place while targeting self-mastery over all ways I am human, helps me care for my greatest earthly asset and accomplish a purpose to serve others. Endurance opens success by default. It allots for rest and restoration - Not self-applied limitation, leaving possibilities ever possible. Learning to be content in All things and use increasing Wisdom is a part of success. So I attribute my success to my Creator and Heavenly Father God and His choice to first love me. My choice to love Him back and live by His greatest commandments to keep loving Him, self, and others, while refusing to give up. It's in every choice to persevere; to stand back up - Anyway - by faith, with imperfect actions and a humility to learn and to serve the greater good.

The best advice is that which frequently resurfaces as reminders, such as: 1) Do something you love because you will never have to sell it, just share it and serve it. 2) Your business should be something of passion that lights you up. Stop to assess as it evolves. 3) Don't look for family and friends to validate or support your vision. It's like a pair of glasses only designed for you specifically to see it for what it is. 4) Proximity is power. Get in spaces of like-minded people and builders; those who are already where you want to be 5) Don't get caught in the weeds - with the busy work - that you don't do things that move the needle. Do the uncomfortable first. 6) Be sure to stay in touch with, and speak the language of, your audience over time, because if you have a solution that they call one thing, but you call another, people won't easily recognize it's a suitable option for them. 7) Success in business is 95% mindset, and 5% tactics and strategy. 8) Visualize and internalize your outcome til you walk in it frequently if not daily, in multiple ways, as if you're there, as the person you are becoming.

I encourage young women entering the coaching and wellness industry to focus on service and compassion. When you lead with a genuine desire to help others, confidence naturally grows, and people are drawn to your authenticity. Success comes from being fully present for those you serve, listening deeply, and guiding them with empathy. Cultivating these qualities not only strengthens your impact but also allows you to build a sustainable and meaningful career.

The values that guide me are rooted in my personal journey of health, self-love, and compassion. Having lost 80 pounds and maintained it for 15 years, I’ve learned that true wellness is as much about emotional and spiritual balance as it is about physical health. I emphasize self-compassion in all aspects of life—both for myself and the clients I mentor. Supporting others through their journeys of transformation requires patience, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping them cultivate a positive relationship with themselves.
