Dominique Ayers
I truly believe I’m doing what I was meant to do. I can’t imagine myself in any other career — it’s so fulfilling to help people feel confident and to teach others to build their own success in this industry. It’s more than a job to me; it’s my dream come to life. Read more>>
Laura Cross
The public version that you see of me is the real me. I believe in being authentic, perfectly imperfect, honest, and true to myself. I also believe in being transparent. Whatever mistakes or success I make or don’t make are mine and no one else’s. If it can help someone else from making the same mistake or learn something than that is great. Read more>>

Going back, the day of my dad’s funeral has to be the most life changing event in my life. That is the day of my accident. I slipped on the ice at the hotel I was staying in. The bump on the side of my head left me with a painful headache. Literally, my head on the right side was severely bruised and swollen. Read more>>

One of the biggest misconceptions in wellness today is the idea that we should focus solely on “positive vibes” — that negative emotions or differing perspectives are somehow unwelcome. Equally pervasive is the myth that strength and fitness are reserved for young, skinny women. At age 50, I’ve had men criticize my appearance and suggest I should feel ashamed of my body. Read more>>

Stepping more into my intuitive abilities and working with my clients by helping them connect with spirit guides that they may not know they have. My evolution in connecting with Spirit has taken me into working more with what I call the ‘Spirit Artists’ and sharing their messages for humanity at this time. Read more>>

I’ve been avoiding sharing my story and taking the next step in my creative journey because of fear of judgment. But I’m ready now to release it and fully claim my voice. Read more>>

Well, I certainly believed I couldn’t just be an artist. I believed that only a select few famous people could be artists, and only people who lived in big cities. I thought the only way I could be creative was by entering an art-related career, such as art therapy or graphic design. Read more>>

Getting clean and sober nearly 12 years ago, as a 48-year old, I finally started to understand the world around me for what it actually is, versus what I want it to be or think it is. Read more>>
Jala Little
A moment that truly shaped how I see the world came from working hands-on with clients of all sizes, backgrounds, and levels of confidence. Over the years as a fashion stylist, I’ve learned that styling goes far beyond fabrics and trends—it’s deeply emotional work. It’s about helping people see themselves in a new light. Read more>>
Jason Thomas
Oddly enough, it was my view on failure that ended up changing. After a few ‘failures’ I started to realize that failure didn’t need to be so final. In fact, it was really only as final as I allowed it to be. Read more>>
Sumire Murillo
I feel most like myself when I’m with my family. No matter what struggles come with everyday life, being with my husband and kids always brings me a sense of peace and joy. Home is the one place where I don’t feel the pressure to be anything other than who I am. When I’m with them, I don’t have to worry about appearances or judgment. Read more>>

Erika Ware
I think my experience was actually the opposite. In the beginning, I was who the world, specifically America, told me to be. I grew up thinking of myself as a minority, believing that systemic racism was simply the way life was supposed to be. I didn’t yet understand how much of my identity had been shaped by a society designed to limit it. Read more>>
