I am proud to be an educator and consultant for Beautycounter, a B-Corp company on a mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone.   The lack of regulation in the personal care and cosmetic industry is astounding and it is harming our health in very serious ways. We need more voices to join up on our mission. If you want to put your passion to purpose while being generously compensated, then I would love to start a conversation with you about what it means to be involved in the #saferbeauty tribe that is Beautycounter.

Do you have an opportunity to do that right now? Sometimes we are called to rise up because of the oppression of others and sometimes we rise because of our own self-oppression, it doesn’t matter the source, what matters is what do choose to do - will you wait or will you rise? Me > Hidden eating disorder and insecurity Crushing addiction to perfectionism Abusive ex-finance Scarcity mindset thinking Raped by a stranger Small thinking and self-limiting thoughts Now, I rose, I rise and I will continue to rise > Healing and body confidence Worth and peace Most amazing husband and relationship Abundance thinking Healing and gratitude – rock bottom revelations – no more fear in life Big thinking and a desire to live to the fullest, whatever it takes Rising up is speaking up, showing up and standing up for that which matters deep in your heart of hearts. It is fighting for yourself, your dignity and for the development of your own story and it is the fighting for the life, love and freedom in the lives of others through your contribution. QUOTES ON RISING UP: What defines us is how well we rise after falling. Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. –Ralph Waldo Emerson Rock bottom because the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. – J.K. Rowling Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.
