I did it all. I cooked, I cleaned, baked, and did all that was necessary to keep the family going.

So many of us get carried away with the responsibilities of taking care of our kids and spouses, parents, establishing careers and every other thing that holds meaning to us. While in college, I offered spa services and founded a few non-profit organizations as well. In trying to keep up with the responsibilities of building a successful career my relationships suffered tremendously, and so did the general state of my health. Being able to balance school and work life was a big challenge for me. I was an extremely busy, prideful, overwhelmed mom, student, and entrepreneur. As a result, my lack of self/awareness over the years resulted in weight gain, symptoms of depression and anxiety, a fibroid, and nearly losing my life to a Pulmonary Embolism. Going through all of those issues had a significant impact on my life which resulted with me wanting to change. Based on what I learned and changed I wanted for myself, I began routinely exercising, practicing yoga, and meditating. As I began to pivot and shift, it became easier for me to identify and implement the true meaning of self-worth. Once the healing took place, and when I truly realize that I was enough my true self began to manifest.
