Anna DiCarlo shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Anna, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: Have you ever been glad you didn’t act fast?
Yes, all the time. One of the things I do is teach how to ‘practice the pause’.
This is so important in everything we do. Good, ‘bad’ and the ugly. The human reaction is to react in the time of emotion.
However, if we take a moment to ‘practice the pause’, whether this is through breathe, drop sets, etc….we have true clarity in moments where things seem out of sorts. Giving true control.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Anna DiCarlo and I have such a solution mindset that I created La Belle Naturelle LLC (holistic/natural skincare) for my daughter whom had chemically induced Eczema. From there, I grew it into a business in hopes to help not just us as a family but others. All with the guidance of a Pediatrician. All production creation & formulating is done by me and tested by me and other volunteers to ensure quality and effectiveness. All affordable.
I later needed my own solution for my repeat patterns and triggers. I didnt find a solution that suited me, so once again…created my own. I dug into patterns, recognized my own intuition and received certifications which has now allowed me to help people all across the country.
All based on donations, I focus on emotional & spiritual transformation with energetic/frequency insight and pattern sensing. This is done with kinesiology (muscle testing/body movement) and frequency I can hear within the words themselves.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
2 people in my life.
My first, was my grandfather. He was my father figure, my protector, my hero in my story. When he passed, I didn’t see the purpose of life. I didn’t see myself, because he always saw me.
There’s a twist to this story….
Enter second person. Later in life when I was striving to figure out my patterns, my hold ups, I met someone that I know I’ve known many times before. She became a close friend and was not my hero….in fact she helped me realize I was always the hero to my own story.
I had me no matter what. Even when I didn’t think I could, I did.
Even when the world crashed and burned, I had me…always.
These two relationships broke me and built me. I had my first intuitive experience with my grandfather and yet I walked away from all of it, including God.
But this second one I came flooding back to God, and this time I didn’t forget me or love I have for myself in its entirety…including my spiritual self.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear of being good enough. Being a good enough daughter. Being a good enough friend. Being good enough in the eyes of others.
In reality, I didn’t really start living until I became good enough for myself. Cliche, I know. But truth nonetheless.
Rather than sitting and monitoring who I needed to be for everyone else, I finally saw, heard and felt me…the way God intended all along.
This doesn’t mean I became mean or blocked off people. Instead, I listened to what I needed and as I started to fill my personal cup, I was able to be selfless and saw the true ripple effect of love and kindness spread outwardly.
Truly life changing.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
In the past, I would shy away from speaking up for myself, disagreements and even lie to not just keep peace, but to be the person others wanted me to be.
Now, I am happiest when I am authentically me. In ALL aspects. So, yes…i am me all the time.
Meaning, now I know my foundation, my beliefs, my boundaries and hold myself accountable where needed. Not because someone says so or feels I should.
I speak on spiritual aspects, emotions and more….where before these were off limits for me as they were ‘uncomfortable’ for others.
And while I can respect everyone’s beliefs and perspectives it doesn’t mean I have to change mine to ‘fit in’. Respect also doesn’t mean agree to.
It took me a bit to learn to navigate things like this; I now move with discernment and kindness for self, resulting in the same outwardly.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What light inside you have you been dimming?
Many things. I dimmed and hid my light for others to shine for years. I didnt give myself a fair chance in the past. All lessons.
For example, I’d have ideas and give them away for others to use or be too afraid of what others would think of me. So I stopped my growth business wise and spiritually.
What I figured out was that I wasnt solid in myself, or trusted what i knew to be true since I was a child.
After becoming a born again Christian, I knew more than ever that I could believe in and love God and still be spiritual.
In my opinion and experience, my gifts are gifts he gave to us all to use as we aren’t beneath him…but beside him.
Business wise, I stopped waiting and just started doing. Because, I have me….always. It’s always a growth moment, even if its not how we expected.
