Who are you today? I am infinite love expressing through human form.
What are the most meaningful life events/teachings that brought you where you are? My toughest ones! The biggest catalyst moment for sure was when I was sexually assaulted at 20 years old. Made me question EVERYTHING. Who I was. What I was doing in the world. Where my path was leading me. What would I make this mean about me??? That single moment changed the course of my life and opened up my path and my purpose.
What do you believe in? What is your passion? What is your mantra? I believe in possibility. Everything is possible with awareness and choice. Passion: Growth, contribution + creation; Mantra—Create shit that matters.
How do you ignite this passion for life in others? I speak to the genius in everyone. I see their wholeness, their love and their gifts—and I speak to those until they awaken enough to create massive shifts.
What do you work for? How do you define your role ? I don’t define what I do. I don’t think one can. I do something different for everyone…depends who is receiving my gift. Some would say I’m a teacher, some would say I’m an artist, some would say I’m a transformational leader—I would just say that I’m present, and show up however I’m needed.
How do you see today’s world and humanity? As a massive wake up call for a new earth—it’s time for us all to wake up and make the changes needed to create a world that works for our future.
What does the concept of awakened humanity means to you? Awakened humanity means that we awaken to the truth of what we already are and always have been.
How do you lead people to live a fuller, healthier, happier, wholesome, powerful life? What is your vision and how do you share it? So many ways—inspirational and educational videos, workshops and speaking, SOUL SCHOOL (online learning community), The Bridge Method and deep diving through travel experiences and retreats.
What kind of change we all need today? What is the secret to being fulfilled and aligned with the beauty of life? We need to start living in alignment with our highest truth—our genius. When we live from that place, we live from love and full expression.
Positive thinking vs embracing what is, healing and organically shifting into a better version of ourselves… How do you relate to these two different approaches? Positive thinking is helpful…. but not if it’s at the expense how how you’re ACTUALLY feeling. We have to honor our feelings, allow them to complete themselves, and see them for what they are—FEEDBACK that something needs to shift and perhaps we’re living out of alignment with our highest truth and rather living in comparison of someone else’s life.
What is the role of social media/internet in spreading your message today? How do you see yourself related to the global community: spreading love all over the world? It’s a gift—it’s instant access to all the corners of the world and it’s democratized content… now instead of big media empires telling people what to watch, people can choose themselves—and they are definitely moving towards the greater questions in life.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I don’t know—I do my best to stay in the present moment and keep creating and sharing authentically from my soul.
