1. What has been a big part of your growth as a woman?

Self-reflection. Even though I have been a moderately disciplined person my whole life, something changed when I started practicing Bikram Yoga eleven years ago: I couldn’t run from myself anymore.

Previously, I would spend time deflecting from responsibility or choosing things that were not in my best interest. My true growth came when I sat in a hot room for 90 minutes and admitted my faults. There is something powerful about being humble because then we can grow from that point on.

2. Who, which person (s) has inspired you to stay true to your role in your divine feminine?

My Father. He encouraged me to be able to be feminine and strong. I remember specifically when I was 9 and wanted to start dancing again, he said that I should do martial arts, too. He went on to explain to me that because I am naturally very feminine, I need to make sure that I am not a pushover and am aware of my strength.

He always encouraged me to stay true to my femininity but do so with a sense of grace and awareness.

3. What other women have supported you when you needed it the most?

The first memory that I can think of when I read this is the random strangers that I meet who support me in an unexpected ways without wanting anything in-return. Just because it is the right thing to do.

An example of this was when I had a stalker in New York City. A man used to follow me and there was a woman who worked at the dispatcher station at the police unit near my house who basically saved my life. She believed me about what was happening and encouraged me to stay strong.

Unfortunately, I have had a number of stalkers and a lot of female police officers have helped me through that situation. When people in my life didn’t believe me or were not there for me, I found support in some of these officers and I am grateful.

4. What has been the hardest part of being a strong woman?

It’s funny that I wrote these questions and now that I’m filling them out, I question whether I am strong or not.

The hardest part of being a woman who is growing and evolving is when I see other women jealous of it and who want to destroy me for what I have accomplished. I would love to say that I have been surrounded by supportive women; however, that has not always been the case. Some of the meanest, spiteful and unkind things that have been done to me have been done so by other women.

That is what encouraged me to start this. So that the hurt I have felt by being hurt by other women and by previously hurting other women can transpire into a consciousness and vibration of healing & divinity.

5. Where do you see yourself evolving in the next few years?

Ultimately, wherever God wants me to be. But if I had a choice, with a family and kids. I will always be a Lightworker, will continue to do my readings and write more articles.

6. What imprint would you like to leave on the world?

That no matter what has happened to you, you can overcome it. Instead of using what you were born with or have as a disadvantage, how can you change it?

I have overcome a lot and will continue to do so. I am not special, I am a human and that is the beautiful thing about evolution. If you believe it and do it, so can you.
