Meet Ariel Pirela

We were lucky to catch up with Ariel Pirela recently and have shared our conversation below.

Ariel, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
Absolutely, hands down– my mother! My resilience is intrinsic, stitched directly from the womb. What I inherited from her was what makes all her children superstars in this world. The key to our inherited resilience is actually joy. My mother teaches us in EACH interaction with her own shining example. She has no shortage of encouraging reminders to focus on the good. To quote her recent advice, “take all the love and a smidge of the crazy…” This is sound advice for embracing everyone you meet. Joy is medicine for the heart and Ms. Ada Marie Jones gives out gallon doses at a time. Be sure to check out her line of enchanted candles via IG (@missadacandles). As an entrepreneur, I live out this resilience through the CCC Tiny Book of Affirmations. Yes, this 56-card deck casts a line into tthe magical well of unspeakable joy to all who seek it. Tune in to @celestialcontentcreations Instagram or Youtube daily for your personal dose! It’s an honor to show up joyfully with the gifts from my ancestral roots to do this work.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
This wonderful business is ever-evolving which is great! Right now, our focus is on delivering multi-sensory mental wellness support. This mission is carried out with the CCC Tiny Book of Affirmations. Our product is available as a card deck, a downloadable ebook and in limited edition print copy.

The second way we deliver healing across the senses is with our custom luxury fragrance, Star Dust (see link section). It was amazing to partner with Scentcraft to supplement daily affirmation routines with perfume. This is also a way to amplify the joy of feeling good by smelling even better. After reciting your “Pick 3” affirmations from our card deck, take your routine up a notch in a relaxing shower of cosmic scents. The key notes in the Star Dust fragrance are mandarin, jasmine, orris, black lily and vanilla bean. It smells wonderful and layers well with other perfumes.

Thirdly, we are delving into the world of auditory healing via downloadable sound bath recordings. Our 2-minute meditation product is for those who are interested in meditations or affirmation work, but need an assist. The recordings feature original compositions using the Tibetian singing bowl and crystal sound bath bowl. Layered on top of these sounds are readings from the CCC Tiny Book of Affirmations.

Finally, we are proud to announce the expansion of our affirmation work into 1-to-1 counseling sessions! Our brand new offering, “Manifest the Mission w/ Me” is a 60-minute virtual consultation service to get the ball rolling on client projects or career transitions. In each session, we reflect on your purpose, establish a clear mission for your endeavor, set a business/project objective, and craft marketing messages with a SWOT analysis. As a bonus for trusting us to give motion to your mission, clients also receive a discounted ebook link, plus social media vision setting / content planning tools.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three qualities, skills, or talents that were most impactful in my journey are: 1) wherewithal 2) audacity and 3) intestinal fortitude. Arguably, these terms all describe the same attribute. However, I still need to list them out separately. The key to my success has been anchored to an unwavering joy as mentioned earlier. The way in which my joy takes flight and expands my creativity is through courage. I can be resilient and joyful in the shadows of my own backyard for the rest of my days. However, in order to answer the call of my purpose in the way that’s aligned to my mission–I have to have guts. The courage to push past doubt and go for opportunities regardless of how the odds are stacked is the way forward in most situations. I look back at some of the risks I took in business and the possibility of failure is something I only consider in hindsight. I find it very difficult to build while simultaneously anticipating disaster. The bravery to keep waking up joyful is the same bravery it takes to win in business. The advice I have for those who are looking to fill up their courage stock is to, “live and let live.” Let go of the negative voices of the past that told you you couldn’t and reprogram the sound track of your world with positivity. See link section for guidance on how to make that happen!

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
Yes, absolutely! Celestial Content Creations welcomes new partnership opportunities. There are many ways to incorporate our products into current wellness spaces. I have partnered with therapists across a range of industries who kick their sessions off with an affirmation reading. If there are folks out there in the mental health and wellness space who wish to incorporate affirmations into their practice, the CCC Tiny Book of Affirmations is a great resource.  I would love to help raise awareness about the power of affirmations via speaking opportunities, so if there are people within your network with a call for speaker nominations, send them my way. My goal is to get inside college classrooms to guest lecture students on the strategies for reprogramming the subconscious mind and the role affirmations play in that shift. Finally, if your organization is looking to fulfill bulk gifting or product packages and wish to include our card deck–I’d love to hear from you!
