THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY

I started going on YouTube looking for self-development videos and any other type of videos I could get my hands on to learn more about my situation in my marriage. I realized that I was meant for more in life. At the time, I didn't know what that exactly meant but I just knew there was a better life for me and my kids. At the end of 2018 I filed for divorce. That was the most complex feeling I had ever experienced in my life. One moment I was happy then I was sad and also confused but I knew I was on the right path. For the next year, I still continued to go on YouTube for any self-development I could find along with going to therapy and reading any book I could get my hands on hoping to cope with what was going on in my life. In the thick of it all, I came across a gentleman named Bob Proctor. I found a free 5 day Masterclass that was posted and decided to do it. It opened my eyes to the possibility of the ‘what-if’ in my life. My life just isn't another life here on the Earth but it's my life and I knew I had a purpose, but I needed to figure out what my purpose was.
With getting my hands on his You-tube channel and watching every possible episode I could at the time, I then came across Kathleen Cameron. She was a coach for Bob Proctor at the time and when she interviewed with Bob Proctor, you could see the Sunshine radiating off of her. Her smile was from ear to ear, she had this glow about her, it was like she wasn't letting anything hold her back in this world.
I came across her again later on Facebook and she was holding a Bless and Release course, and I knew I wanted to attend and be in her energy. I did her free Bless and Release course, but with just being newly single I didn't want to muster up the funds for her paid course that she offered at the time. I wasn’t ready yet!
I had a life coach reach out to me one night in Dec of 2020 asking me what I was working for that week. I had told him I just finished a program with Tanya Aliza for personal branding, but I didn't think it helped much because I didn't even know who I was. He asked if we couldn't jump on a call. Of course, I said yes. We talked for over an hour, and he listened to me, and I ended up signing up to his coaching program. I learned so much from him in 6 months. He started me on a new path of thinking for myself and my life. I have so much gratitude towards Steven Norrell for helping me get on the right path.
But, in the middle of 2021 is when I finally decided I needed more! I had done several of Kathleen's free trainings by this time and decided that it was time to buy into her program. I really didn't have the funds, but I did have some in my 401k, so I cashed it out and paid for her program. That was the best decision I have ever made! Her program included Bob Proctor's program and her own.
At the time, I had no self-confidence. I had no clue who I was anymore other than a single mom with 2 kids from 2 different dads, divorced after only being married for 3 years and I lived in a small town. I was overweight, I didn’t sleep well, I was on lots of medications, I didn’t do well in my salon that I owned, and I didn't succeed in corporate America before I got laid off at the end of 2020. I just knew there was something more out there for me.
