Well, my journey is actually about losing my confidence and then finding it again! I was extremely confident when I was young, I never thought twice about what people thought of me or doubted I could do anything I wanted. At some point though I lost my way. Read More>>

Confidence & Self esteem is something that is always evolving & going to new heights. For me it comes from intimately knowing who you are, where you’ve come from, & whom you belong to. I firmly believe that my Faith In God & is the foundation that my confidence & self esteem is built upon & my experiences in life shape a figurative structure that is continuously growing.

I developed my confidence from the extreme love and uplifting words I received from my mother, honestly. It began from there due to the fact that she spoke highly of me to me and that’s important in child development I believe. She let me know that it was okay to think and have an opinion at a young age. I understood that I was enough in any given situation. I was taught to go after what I believe and fight for what I believe in. As well as anything I set my mind to, with hardwork and dedication I can acheive it. Read More>>

One of the hardest things in life is to find out what it is that you want. Once you figure that out, you’re 70% there because the rest is just persistence and hard work… Continuing to beat the drum sort of speak will eventually create a sound loud enough that people cannot ignore. Read More>>

Of course we all struggle with this. Especially being a woman in a male dominant industry. I think a lot of it comes from doing something not many can do and build a life off it. To be in business 3 successful years, says a lot. My husband has truly been my backbone through this entire journey. We are thriving from the countless trial and errors, and that guy’s taste buds.

The word “confidence” comes from the Latin words meaning “with faith”. For me, faith is the invisible yet tangible thread of Grace that has woven itself throughout my entire life and every experience. I was a smart, good looking woman in my formative years yet somehow, my self image never depended on external definitions of what it meant to be successful or beautiful. Rather I was always guided from the inside out, walking a road less traveled from the very beginning. Read More>>

The way I developed my confidence and my self-esteem is by understanding that no matter what is going to happen I’m going to be OK I have to live in a world that sometimes won’t like me, but they will Have to respect me if I walk in my blessing walk in my light, not worrying what others have to say about me as I’m going to be me and I’m not changing for anyone in this world and as long as God is blessing me, I have no fear Read More>>

It’s honestly trial and error. I’ve developed my confidence and self-esteem over the years by finding an inner love for myself. One thing that made me begin to love myself was understanding that no one would love me better than myself; not even my mom, and she loves me more than anyone (besides God). Read More>>
