Tell us about the journey that brought you into the healing space?
As a therapist starting out, I was working for an agency in an inner-city population — very underprivileged, underserved communities. I loved that work, I loved working with those people. But unfortunately, it’s very low-paying, very long hours, a lot of stress, and there was a lot of burnout. I was pushing myself too hard. I love helping people, I’m a natural healer. I didn’t have a lot of strong boundaries for myself, I was just giving everything to my clients, and I went through burnout. I experienced anxiety, I experienced some depression. I started working with my own therapist at that time and realized I do have this greater thing that I want to do and I do want to serve, but I need to do it in my own way and I need to do it in a way that’s sustainable for me.
That really started me on this journey of doing my own inner healing, doing my own inner child work, and realizing the different parts of myself that I needed to work on so that I could better serve others. That’s what catapulted me into starting my own practice and my own studio to bring a more holistic approach to the work that I was doing.
What was a big challenge you had to surmount while joining this space?
I opened my new brick-and-mortar therapy practice and wellness studio B’More Wellness in Ellicott City, MD USA in February of 2020 and then the world shut down a month later due to the pandemic. That was crazy and stressful obviously, but it really sparked me to shift my business online. I had to make that change quickly. Not really knowing what I was doing, to be honest, but just knowing that that’s what I had to do to keep things going. That is really what introduced me to this online world and the freedom of coaching.
Coaching was something I had played around with for a few years but didn’t really know how to get started and hadn’t really allowed myself the space or the courage to think about it enough. And I think that happening forced me into it and made me say, “Okay, it’s time, I gotta jump all in.”
What advice would you give to the younger version of you?
Don’t hide. Don’t conform. Don’t feel like you have to do things just because that’s how everybody else has always done them. You can be yourself. You have so much more to offer the world than you could even imagine. There’s always a way to do things that feels authentic to you and it’s not always the way that everybody’s always done it. You get to shake things up, you get to do it differently.
How do you embody success in your daily life?
I walk the walk. Everything I teach and talk about on a daily basis, I’m living. I’m not that far ahead of a lot of my clients. I’m just a few steps ahead of them. I’m going through the things in my daily life. I’m going through challenges — different things that are popping up — and I’m working through them. I’m setting my boundaries. Then, weeks later, my clients are experiencing a similar thing and now I get to walk them through it. So I’m really just going through everything that I teach in my programs and to my clients. I’m doing it daily. The universe is presenting it to me on a daily basis and I know that “Okay, I gotta go through this because in a few weeks one of my clients is gonna be going through the same thing and I can walk them through it beautifully because I just did it.”
What practices do you implement regularly to set yourself up for success?
My practices tend to change. I know a lot of people have really stringent routines. That doesn’t feel good for me, that feels really restrictive. I tend to allow it to flow with whatever feels good for me in the moment. I feel like I always need to do some sort of movement, whether it’s a full-on workout or just stretching for ten minutes. Moving my body. Doing deep breathing as I’m feeling things come up. I’m big on really feeling my feelings, and when my feelings are coming up, doing that deep breathing to regulate my nervous system. Journaling. Being outside. A lot of the reflection and thought work, I feel like I’m doing that on a daily basis.
Now tell us how can women enroll in your courses?
I have a lot of different options. I do a lot of different programs because I like to offer different options for people. My signature program is my Goddess Vibez program, and that’s a mix of a live and an evergreen program. The way it works is once you enroll, you get lifetime access to the round that you’ve signed up for and every live round thereafter. You’ll always have replays. Every round is a little bit different. As I evolve and grow, the program grows and evolves with me. So, we’re really on this journey together. It’s 6-8 weeks of personal power, money mindset, boundaries, alignment, manifestation, emotional intelligence, and so much more. Basically, all the pillars of my business and the things that have changed my life, and I bring them all into this one program.
I also have an academy, it’s called the Abundance Goddess Academy. This is a twelve-month masterclass bundle. When you join, you get access to all the master classes that I run in the twelve months that you’re a part of the bundle, and then you also get access to the entire library of past masterclasses that I’ve done. There is currently over 14 hours of pure gold in the library and it’s growing every month. You get at least six, if not more, live masterclasses per year with the AGA. So that’s a more accessible package for people who are not ready to jump into the investment of the Goddess Vibez program or my one-on-one coaching, which I customize to everybody’s needs. Depending on what they’re looking for, I customize those packages for them. But I do have 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month commitments with that.
What is something that you’d like to manifest now?
Even more financial freedom, even more personal freedom, being able to do whatever I would want to do whenever I want to do it, and having the ability to help others do the same. It’s such a passion of mine to connect with other women, in particular, but I do have male clients as well. Being able to connect with other people and help them to achieve this level of freedom that I have achieved. I know that it can only grow and go up from here. The more abundance I have, the more money I make, the more in alignment I am, the more I can serve others and create more abundance for them. And then, it’s just going to be a ripple effect that moves throughout the world. I would love to reach thousands of women in my courses— 10,000, 20,000 — that would be incredible to have so many people in my world and to have that level of impact.
What would you like your clients to retain the most from the work that you do?
I think my biggest goal is if I can just inspire and motivate somebody to do a few more things every single day for themselves, to recognize how worthy and incredible they are, and just be able to put themselves first, even if it’s just a little bit. Because I think in our society and in our culture, especially as women, we’re not taught to do that. And we are very much taught that other people’s needs and wants are more important than ours. And so, if they can just make the tiniest shift to start doing things for themselves a little more, recognize their worthiness, and walk through life knowing that they can handle anything that’s thrown at them, then I’ll feel like my work is done.
“We go first and the universe follows.”
What can you tell us about any future projects launching this year?
The Abundance Goddess Academy is always enrolling. There are constantly new masterclasses coming up. Goddess Vibes as well, people can jump in, even if it’s not a live round, and get access to the evergreen portion and then be enrolled when I do a next live round. I also just released a 30-day manifestation journal on Amazon, it’s called The Goddess Journal. And, I am writing a book that is coming out by the end of this year, so be on the look out for that!
What are your gifts to the world?
My intuitive abilities. I can meet somebody and I can find clarity very quickly for them on what’s holding them back.
