What motivated and inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to help women heal, strive, and live intentionally. I wanted to help those who were struggling with self worth reconnect with their higher purpose. To help women heal and understand they have the power they need within and to tap into that power and create the life and businesses they desire.
Tell us about your business. Â Â
I run a full-service spiritual practice where I help women re-create themselves from the inside out. I serve as the bridge between the physical and the spiritual world. I assist my clients with the information that they receive from the Spirit to help them manifest it and create their dreams. I offer one-on-one clarity sessions, group sessions, energy, love, healing, and business clarity sessions. I also created my own spiritual store, which offers angel sprays, online courses, crystals and more.

Where is your business based? Â
My business is international. I travel all over the world to teach and speak.
What were the first few steps you took to get your business up and running?
I wanted to be in direct alignment with my purpose so I asked for clarity. I hired a mentor, created a blog and began posting weekly. My first business, Faithworks, was created in 2005.
What has been the most effective way of raising awareness of your business and getting new customers?
I am authentic and share my own personal life experiences with my followers and clients.
What have been your biggest challenges so far?
My biggest challenge has been embracing my spiritual gifts.
How did you overcome these challenges?
I continue to move forward in faith and ask to be guided daily. I also attend mastermind groups and have a mentor that has worked with me for the past 20 years. Consistency is a key factor in creating a successful business.
How do you keep motivated through difficult times?
My children and family keep my motivated. I have also made a commitment to raise the consciousness of the world and educate people on how the power of intentions and mindset can change lives. When I see how people are affected by what I teach, and the information they receive from their angels, it fuels me to keep going.
How do you distinguish yourself from your competitors?
By being genuine and understanding that there is no real competition. I believe what is from the heart reaches the heart. If you truly want to serve, you will attract your tribe, so I continue to lead with my heart.
What is the best advice you have received recently?
No matter how grim your circumstances may be, you have to keep going. If you happen to fail, don’t quit! What you have to offer is needed. Be open and transparent about what you want. Speak and write things into life! If you’ve written your dreams down and even spoken about them but haven’t acted, revisit your dreams and recreate them if needed, then take action to make them your reality.
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs?
You don’t have to compete to be the best – you are the best at what you do. Study and educate yourself. Become known as the expert in your field by showing up and knowing what you have to offer. By doing so you will succeed. Live intentionally, speak what you seek and know what you want. Keep your dreams in front of you on a vision board. Create an affirmation wall, whatever you have to do to remind yourself of your dreams!
What are your favorite business tools/resources and why?
My business is primarily based online, so I am an Apple girl all the way. I love Apple products because I can link everything I need and take it with me on one computer. I also love google, all things google.
What is a good article or book you have read recently?
I am reading “Soul Shifts” by Dr. Barbara De Angelis.
What are you currently learning about for your business or looking for help with?
I’m learning how to market my business more. I have never had to market my business since it has been all word of mouth and client referrals for the last 11 years. But now I feel it’s time to expand so I’m exploring this option.
What are your goals for the next few months and how are you striving to achieve them?
My goals are to have 4 live events and close out this year with greater success than last year.
