My mission in life is to create more confident women. Period.
One problem: Most of what women do is to serve others, which means they end up putting themselves last, leading to a nagging sense of unfulfillment and a longing for more. Our responsibilities are important, but when they detract from who we really want to be, they become more than worthwhile duties: They become handicaps. We lose confidence in ourselves, stop taking care of ourselves and set aside our goals.
I don’t want to see that happen. So my mission in life is to create more confident women. Period.
Back in my early twenties, I had a lightbulb moment...
What if I could create a confidence-building program for teen girls, helping them reach their full potential and achieve true fulfillment? Inspired, I typed it all out on my first Apple computer back in 1996. In fact, I still have that floppy disc somewhere! Though I didn’t launch the course at the time, the idea stayed in the back of my mind for years.
Sometime after, I met my husband, a motivational speaker. As a no-nonsense, get-it-done, reach-for-the-stars kind of girl, I naturally transitioned to working with him. Over the past 10 years, as we've hosted numerous courses and programs geared toward human potential, I have received countless requests from women: Couldn’t I make a course just for women?
So I did. It felt right to combine my vast knowledge of motivational speaking and performance coaching with my 90s dream. Et voilà, Body, Sex and Business was born.
Today, I help women from all walks of life, of all sizes, with all sorts of dreams for business and life. I believe I can be most effective by hiding nothing, by remaining always open and raw, by sharing every experience – even the embarrassing ones. My proudest moments are the ones in which I see my daughters approaching something with confidence, and knowing my intentional honesty has made a difference in their lives, as well as the lives of others.
