​

“As a business owner, nobody can teach you or prepare you for those hard lessons. At the end of the day, you must learn them on your own so that you can come out on the other side as a wiser decision maker.”

​

Mary

Scientist and Medium: Since Mary was a little girl, she had experiences with the spiritual world. Now as an adult and scientist, she is learning to integrate her two worlds to be one complete, authentic soul.

​

“It's taken some time, but I now love and embrace the duality of my life. I've realized that one aspect doesn't make the other less true or real. I am a woman that is both spiritual and scientific; technical and open-minded. My gifts have shaped me into the woman I am today.”

Yanna

Visionary, Blogger, Podcaster, Mentor: As the visionary founder and She-E-O of three innovative companies, Yanna is at the forefront of social entrepreneurship, offering fresh perspectives on business development, mentorship, and community building.

​

"Black. Woman. Disadvantages. These words mattered. Yet, at that moment, with my aunt giving what she perceived as the biggest life lesson, the meaning of her words didn’t resonate. My spirit rejected them. Instantly, I decided that being a Black woman would not be a disadvantage."

Beth + Pam

Pet Lovers + Best Friend Business Owners: They met at the age of three and have been best friends ever since. In their twenties, they started a business together even though they heard over and over again “never start a business with your best-friend.” Twenty-six years later, now in their fifties, their business is thriving as they start another exciting adventure together!

​

"Beth, the little girl in the yellow house, was my first friend. I did not know yet that she would forever be the yin to my yang, the peanut butter to my jelly, the macaroni to my cheese, my best friend for life."

Danielle

Successful Business Professional + Yogi: Broken and voiceless with little freedom to grow, Danielle decided one day after reading a sacred yoga text, that she would no longer allow her light to be dimmed. What came after was something that even surprised her.

​

“No one knows what’s behind the smile of another. Behind my smile was unhappiness with the negativity and pain from a relationship with a man who I had once believed would keep me safe from anything negative or painful. While motherhood was my light, I felt so lonely with few meaningful adult conversations…”

Wesley

Time Traveler + Man of Adventure: A near death experience at the age of 11 changed the way Wesley interacted with life. Plus, a life of adventure, fast living, famous friends and riches; after his father and touchstone passed, he realized the true power of his gift of time travel. Learn about the man behind these two stories in an insightful interview that might leave you with more questions than answers.

​

"I realize that my life seems impossible; even made-up. And that’s probably why I have never shared it before publicly until recently. I am not on a mission to convince people about time travel or near-death experiences. Quite the opposite, in fact. What I am trying to do with my story is convince people that escaping life is not what we came here to do."

Maryanne

Marathon Runner: At the ripe old age of 49, Maryanne set out to do what 99% of the population never consider – run a marathon. Her story is one of grit, determination, fueled by a love story imbued with encouragement.

​

”All of a sudden, the time was here, and as we drew nearer to race day, I started questioning what I was doing, and if I had, in fact, even the ability to finish a 26.2 mile race at the age of 49.” 

Laura

Lifelong Learner + Meditation Teacher: Laura’s struggle with imposter syndrome starting at an early age when she became a young mother at the age of 17. Since then, she has tried proving her self over and over again. A PhD didn’t do the trick, but then, she found it; meditation, which started her journey into the spiritual world where she realized, I am enough.

​

"Meditation became my flashlight, and the path within became illuminated.  Through meditation, I was guided into remembering who I Am.  It wasn’t a strong beam at first, more like a flicker.  Curiosity was my traveling companion.  I dipped my toes into any topic that peeked even a little interest.  I gained a whole new vocabulary."

Erica

Medicine Woman: After suffering years of grief and loss, it began to manifest in obvious outwardly ways. The grief led her to a dream trip to Guatemala where she renewed her purpose and passion and returned to the states with a mission to carry the torch for her community.

​

"Like the women’s collective in Guatemala, I feel fully energized to bring that community activism forward by hosting vendor shows in my community to support the local small businesses. I believe that providing opportunities for like-minded individuals to monetize creates empowerment."

Ted

Retired Corporate Trainer + TED Talk Speaker: Before getting out of bed each morning, Ted places his hand over his heart and says to himself, “Another day to love, to create, to play.” Those words set the stage for the magic to unfold.  

​

"To get into that state of serving others, I come into a state of flow. A state of flow is very creative. It means I'm not going to dictate what's going to happen. It's just going to flow and all I have to do is hold that space of love."
