Born for Independent Resilience
How do you build resilience? In my case, I was born with it. It was a trait woven within my DNA to be strengthened like a muscle throughout my life. This is a tale of a girl that started her life in a single-wide roach-infested trailer and is telling her story from the c-suite of... Continue Reading →

Don’t see it, don’t hear it, don’t speak it...it is what you know...just be. Time to stop the guesswork Run don’t run, eat don’t eat, work don’t work, sit don’t sit...it’s insanity!
