What does it really mean to show up for yourself? When you have disconnected from your truth, the things you believe in, your wants and passions that truly bring out the best in you, you are not showing up for yourself. It could be as simple as not eating healthy when you said you would or not doing your usual workout. Bigger circumstances can be staying in that soul sucking job you hate or that abusive relationship. Whatever your circumstance is, it’s important to be authentic and live the life you were destined to live. After all, no one is going to do that for you.

Let’s face it, sometimes it’s really easy not to show up for our needs. We have families, kids, pets, etc and we have always been taught that it’s selfish to put our needs first. I’m here to tell you that it’s not. Stop listening to that inner voice in your head that may be telling you that…

The Entrepreneurial Journey is filled with challenges and opportunities and at its heart lies an epic human adventure.

Among the key traits of successful serial entrepreneurs is their capacity to continuously- Uphold and nurture the vision of what is yet to come into existence- Find support as well early adopters for that service (or product) which may only be a concept, a simple landing page or a prototype at the moment they start out on on their journey- Follow through, reach out to and secure the resources needed, against all odds and the nay-sayers, the haters who will hate- Surf an ocean of uncertainty, complexity and waves of messy trial and error as they refine their initial idea; confront the "oh so sought-after" and challenging market-fit moment that will make or break them ... to finally (oh no wait, you are actually just only starting this new s…

I spoke on another panel today.I genuinely love these virtual panels connecting with other incredible guests and the opportunity to network together.Why? Well, I love and adore real networking with a purpose.The host was great at moderating it, asking each panel member what the week’s success was. He said, “success is highly contagious” and he is right!One of the questions today went deep for me…And my response made me want to write this post.

So what do I think will be the new normal? Well, first I am not a fan of this word…

My answer was simple, and I saw my point of view, coming out loud and clear. For some of you that don’t know me or how I see the world...this might come as a shock. What is the way I look at everything and my point of vie…

Boundaries are ‘standards’ and ‘limits’ people set in order to create a healthy sense of personal space.

Guards are very different from ‘boundaries’. Guards are walls made of mistrust, defensiveness and an intent to preserve yourself. Boundaries are set from a place of self-love, self-respect, self-responsibility and incredibly needed for a healthy emotional, energetic and physical exchange with other people.

The dictionary definition of boundaries states that they are: guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify for him- or herself what are reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave around him or her and how he or she will respond when someone steps outside those limits.”

There are a few signs that can indicate to you that your boundaries become weakened in relationships and communicati…

Passion is seen by many as the element to achieve success. When passion sets in, one experiences an intense desire for something or someone. Within this context, the focus is on the desire to achieve a particular goal. Professionals indicate during job interviews that they are passionate about everything. Isn't this a bit grandiose?

The professional intends to show an employer that he is willing to invest a lot in time and actions to achieve success. While this is a good and noble pursuit, other components allow passion to make its function effectively. Let's illustrate this with an athlete. Passion is an emotional response to, for example, achieving a goal. Athletes have a passion for practicing their sport. We, as the spectators, find their behavior only obsessive. We also shy away from the "arrogant" talking athletes often use. We cannot imagine…

Aloha! My name is Lorelei and I live on an island of Maui in Hawaii. While we don’t really live in grass shacks and sip on coconut water all day we are blessed to have the finer things.

Let me say that to all the sisters out there making it day after day that you are stronger than you think! Sometimes you gonna have to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and give it all you got and do it over and over again! Support is so important. Sis, you are stronger than you think!

Put it on a sticky note everywhere so when you start to doubt yourself or your dreams you can be reminded that you ARE stronger than you think! 

Aloha! My name is Lorelei and I’m from Maui, Hawaii. While we don’t really live in grass huts we actually have the finer thing…

Tips for intercultural couples #1

We easily assume that our loved one has similar thoughts, values, and perceptions. However, bear in mind your partner from a different culture has seen different status symbols and role models through fairy tales and movies.

He/she has grown up with different smells and spices in the kitchen, and was raised with different rules regarding respect, privacy or punctuality.

A lot of tension in intercultural couples comes down to miscommunication. So, instead of assuming you know, stay open-minded and curious.

Ask your partner directly: “what does this mean to you?”.

Examples:

What does it mean to you to get married?

What does it mean to you to involve the extended family in the decision-making process?

What does it mean to yo…

Yoga is great but it's not complete. You should practice every day But you shouldn’t do the same set of poses every day. Anything that you do repeatedly over long periods of time can lead to a repetitive stress injury (RSI). Even yoga. Yoga is great but It's missing som factors for a well rounded healthy body.Here are 3 reasons why you should yoga every day But you should train more than yoga.

1. Nothing happens in your "Comfort Zone"

Mix it up. Whate…

Are you able to consistently feel these emotions?Are you interested in uplifting your Spirit?Hopefully, your answer is yes.

Our lives are busy. Many of us lose sight to feelings and sensations unless, they are heavy and painful. The noise of distractions and our busy-ness takes away our natural ability to feel and sense finer vibrations.

Let us count the ways we get busy!1 – Social media, business agendas, and news that promotes the latest and greatest fads, innovations, clothing, foods, diets, supplements, gifts and more. These sources constantly remind or sell us products and solutions to increase our value, status, worth and success.2 – Doing, preparing, planning, socializing, and celebrating with friends, family, and others.3 – Volunteering, working, supporting and caretaking.4 – Dealing with stressful situations, commitments, deadlines, …

Whether you want to start a business or grow a business, one thing is clear: You have to be willing to put yourself out there if you want brand recognition.I’m not a millennial (clearly) so I haven’t been broadcasting every aspect of my life out into the world since I was 10. Up until 2 month ago, my Facebook Profile was still super locked down with only a few aspects of my life or values expressed. And then, I made a decision to change things up.I realized that if I want to help thousands of small businesses grow, survive, and thrive, I would have to be more accessible and let more people get to know me. But this was very uncomfortable at first. People I’ve dated and ex-employers would all have access to see my life – where I’m living, what I’m doing, what I look like. Yikes. I had to do a big ‘Woosahh’ to overcome this discomfort. But beyond that, I would have to …
