We recently connected with Infinity Chanell and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Infinity, really appreciate your meeting with us today to talk about some particularly personal topics. It means a lot because so many in the community are going through circumstances where your insights and experience and lessons might help, so thank you so much in advance for sharing. The first question we have is about divorce and how you overcame divorce and didn’t allow the trauma of divorce to derail your vision for your life and career.
I knew that I had to eventually gain the courage to leave my marriage long before my divorce from my ex-husband was final. It took some time but eventually I forgave myself for being selfish and choosing to myself and my daughter first over my ex-husband. I did spend sometime feeling a bit of betrayal amongst other feelings for so many years and always felt I had to go out of my way to defend my reputation after deciding to make my exit. I wasn’t happy and I was burnt on the idea of being a wife and the fairy tale that came with it. I was done! I’ve dated a few other men since then, and none of those relationships worked out either. I began to take a step back and do some soul searching, like some real deal dig deep type stuff. That’s when I discovered the art and science of astrology! I started to really look into me! It was exciting. It was scary. It was tough. It was most of all liberating. To be able to take a look into the makings of me really opened my eyes to so much that had already taken place in my life. I spent a lot of time crying and beating myself for not knowing or really taking head to the patterns around me and surrounding my existence. I got so deep into my astrology that I started studying other people around me and close loved ones. I began to understand myself more and others. I was able to approach difficult conversations and topics with a better understanding. Now, I appy it everywhere in my life. I began to forgive myself and understand that all that I went through was for me to end where I am today. Newly single, free, and closer to my own version of peace! I say this to let anyone going through it, you can and WILL get through. Be patient with yourself and give yourself grace. It’s normal to feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster after separating from the person that you mentally planned to build a family with and spend the rest of your life with. I will be honest it took me sometime to get used to AND be okay with being alone. I remember when things were fresh, I wasn’t able to enjoy many things because as soon as I saw loving couples together out spending time together, my eyes would start to burn, and I would find myself silently crying in public. It’s been nearly 10 years since I walked away and a little more than 2 years since our divorce was final. Oddly enough, he filed and had me served at home, that was a little embarrasing because it was unexpected. I was working with a client when a man knocked on my door and served me the papers. I was upset about it because I had tried to divorce him previously and we couldn’t come to an agreement. All he had to do was tell me he had the paper drawn up, I would have been more than happy to sign them so we could set each other FREE! If it’s time to walk away, do it, and don’t look back! Don’t worry about what people who don’t know you or what went on in your marriage trigger you out of your own personal growth. Know that it will always, ALWAYS be okay to heal at your own pace. I definitely still have my days and you will too!
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
My name is Infinity Chanell, I am the owner and CEO of BeyondMe Beauty Company! I love to create and inspire creativity at any capacity that I can!!! I take an enormous amout of delight in bouncing creative ideas with my peers in safe creative spaces! What I find most exciting is being able to learn something new and fall in love with getting to know myself through a new form of creativity. I feel most comfortable when I am in creative environments with other people who are in love with creating the way that I am. The most special part about it is that my daughter and I get to create so many things together and as individuals. It was important to me once I realised her love for art and creating that I nuture it and make sure she knew that her imagination was important. It’s impairative for me to influence her to never ever stop being create and to make sure her imagination is in tact! Which is another arena that astrology plays in my life. It helps me understand my child better and help guide her to self versus raising her to be what I want from her. I always make sure to check in with her about her emotions and how she feels about herself. When it comes to BeyondMe Beauty as a brand, we are a metaphysical and esoteric online beauty supply and service company. Our services include oracle and tarot readings, haircare, reiki, astrology readings and MORE!! We will also supply handcrafted hair, skin, and nail products that help regenerate cells, trigger hair growth, soothe inflammation, re-growth edge, soothe skin and scalp irritation and more. BeyondMe Beauty is a rebrand and will be launching on my 36th solar return on November the 17th this year!!!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Three areas of knowledge that were the most impactful on my journey are knowledge, self care, and consistency. If you can gain more knowledge in your field of expertise, DO IT! “The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all.” There is always new imformation to gain about any and everything you do. Don’t limit yourself to what you know or what you THINK you know. You will do yourself a tremendous diservice with a know-it-all mindset. Self-care is detrimental to your mental if you do not partake in some YOU time. Trust me on this one, if you wanna heal, start to love on yourself the way you have once loved on others in your past. Be the best version of you that you can be with where you are now. Define what luxury and relaxation means for you and your own energy! Self-care can be a simple as a regular skin routine or even making sure your drinking enough water and eating your vegetables. Finally, last but not least, consistency. You have to be consistent with showing up for yourself. To make sure that you are consistently gaining new knowledge in your field of expertise. Make sure that you are consistent all across the board for YOU! I still struggle with this sometimes myself but I am confident in knowing that I am getting better at it everyday. Never give up on your own personal growth and start to celebrate the small wins.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
I’m definitely feeling a collab season coming on for me with some of the other creatives around the Memphis area. I’d like to collaborate with other locticians around the city to learn new techniques and skills that we can exchange with eachother. I’d like to work with some photographers, models, and stylist, local musicians and artists. I’d also like to work with some realtors and credit repair folks. I wanna work with people who love what they do and want to see a change for our community as a collective. If anyone would like to connect with me on collaborations you can reach me at [email protected].
