You can introduce me as a philanthropist and mother. I take pride in being a mother to my son, Rio. Additionally, I have Italian, Lebanese, and Greek Cypriot heritage, representing the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures. I also have a bit of Jewish ancestry, making for a diverse mix.

Tell our readers a bit more about you.

Beneath it all, I embrace the beautiful role of motherhood. From taking my son to school to indulging in muddy adventures and ocean escapades, we find joy in the simplest pleasures, like crab hunting on weekends—his absolute favorite. While my professional calling revolves around expanding individuals’ visions, missions, and connection to their purpose, there’s more to me than meets the eye on social media. Deep down, I’m an incurable romantic. Love is my passion, and I find fulfillment in helping others discover and nurture love in their lives. I relish discussing love, and even enjoy the idea of cozying up with Christmas movies in the midst of summer. Currently, I’m reveling in the magic of love at its highest level.

Walk us through your journey.

My transformative journey began with a profound breakthrough when I found myself at rock bottom, emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually. Grappling with an overactive thyroid autoimmune disease, I experienced immense challenges. In the process, I lost sight of who I was, not only as a new mother but also as an individual. The support I needed to be present for my son seemed out of reach, intensifying my struggle. Overcoming this trying period was an arduous path. Simultaneously, I faced the burden of overwhelming debt, further compounding my ordeal. It was a moment of questioning the essence of life itself. How did I end up here, stripped of my radiance and purpose? Losing one’s sparkle leaves an individual feeling devoid of everything, regardless of possessions. Health, above all, is the cornerstone of existence. Regrettably, I hadn’t prioritized my well-being until circumstances forced me to confront it head-on.

From that point forward, I embarked on an upward trajectory of healing. As a single mother, I surveyed my surroundings, pondering the choices I had made that had led me to this downturn. More distressing was the realization that I had allowed my illness to plunge me into such depths where escape seemed impossible. Desperate for change, I made a resolute decision. Recognizing my responsibility as a mother and as a beacon of inspiration to my son and others, I committed myself to forging a new path. I vowed to channel my energy toward assisting others, diverting my focus from personal afflictions. Even though I wasn’t feeling my best, I began extending a helping hand and, in turn, found solace in my own healing. Thus, my transformative journey unfolded, and three years later, here I stand, bearing witness to the profound power of resilience and growth.

What was the biggest thing that you had to heal?

The most significant hurdle I had to overcome was the lack of self-belief and self-worth that plagued me. Deep inside, I carried a burning desire to prove myself, but the doubts persisted. These insecurities were deeply rooted in my childhood, where my own family once told me I couldn’t sing. It drove me to sign a record deal with Warner Music a few years ago, subconsciously aiming to silence those doubts and show the world that I possess a voice.

The journey to heal these wounds was arduous. I faced the trauma of past sexual abuse and wrestled with the notion that my body was merely an object to be exploited. I had a skewed perspective on life and listened excessively to my inner critic. This battle often led me to the brink of despair, questioning my worth and contemplating suicide. I felt unworthy of anything significant, doubting if anyone would truly value someone like me. At one point, I had worked as a webcam girl, and I harshly judged myself, believing I could never achieve greatness because of my past. This proved to be my most significant mistake—allowing my inner critic to dominate my calling. It’s a vital lesson: never let your inner critic dictate your path. Your calling is significant, and if you succumb to the doubts, you’ll remain stagnant while others effortlessly move ahead, seemingly oblivious to your struggles. You alone have the power to shape your life. Even if you can improve just 1% each day, it can make all the difference.
