I’ve always believed that no matter what your dreams or setbacks, you have the power to change your life and, by doing so, you will change the world. That is the reason you have stumbled upon this site. You have come to the place where it will happen. Where you are supposed to be. It’s always the right time when life connects us. Nothing happens by chance. Everything has its perfect time and purpose.
Through life, I have found that human potential has fascinated me. I’ve always wanted to know, what exactly is it that makes people happy, successful and fulfilled? Why do some people have to struggle while others find it easy to move ahead, even through challenging circumstances?
I have been the independent woman my parents wanted me to be. I’ve chased after my dreams… and many of them have come true! In my years as an entrepreneur, the excitement for the unique wonders each day will bring has been an exhilarating feeling and an absolute joy! My first job as a teenager was answering phones at a prestigious private members club in New Orleans, Louisiana. I was happy but knew that was not my final destination. It was a great lesson working and mingling with the upper crust of the city and its culture.
After that, I began my television and broadcasting career and I ended up producing and selling my own programs with huge success! I published a monthly magazine, a weekly newspaper, and produced and sold my own shows. And they did really well! (In fact, one of my television shows was nominated for one of the most prestigious film awards in Colombia!) Everything I had dreamed of was becoming a reality. I had the wonderful company that I named “Active Brains” and prospered beyond what I could have ever imagined…
It was then that the storms came – literally and figuratively. In 2005, I lost my beloved mother to cancer. Only a few months later, my beautiful home in New Orleans washed away with the unforgiving storm tides of Hurricane Katrina. It was one of the darkest times of my life. I thought I’d amassed everything I wanted and the heavens were smiling down on me and it was all gone within a matter of months. RAGING WATERS AND A RELENTLESS DISEASE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME.
Well. Not everything. I had my beautiful and strong daughter, Catalina; my love for life; and God. It took time, but I was able to find happiness again – through intense and intentional gratitude for these things, and more…
So today, with my heart open wide, I would like to challenge you! As a person that knows and has felt a deep loss, I’d like to invite you and encourage you to begin anew, doing what you love! Go after those dreams that are still in your heart. THERE IS TIME!
I may not have all the answers, my commitment is to bring you the most honest version of what I am living and learning and succeeding with. With over a decade of experience teaching intentional gratitude to hundreds of exceptional women, I am qualified and would be honored to figure out a happy future for you together!
