When the manufacturer destroyed half of our inventory in the middle of an expensive rebrand 3 yrs ago I was left having to reverse engineer my own recipe if we aimed to try to get acquired after he went out of biz and took my proprietary ingredient.
Painful.
Challenging.
Lonely AF.
It felt like I delivered a stillborn that I carried for 9 yrs.
I raised almost $2M & was nationally distributed-not shabby for a 2 decade long massage & yoga therapist w zero industry experience that helped forge an entirely new category of beverage. Being first has its risks. Picking the wrong partners, lessons learned but OUCH
What I did was big. Bold. Beautiful. Then it ended.
That loss ripped the scab off all the other losses, unprocessed grief, & unresolved shame…
It also brought me back to my deepest WHY, my light in the darkness.
The shame I felt was NEVER mine to carry. Neither is it yours. Shame is way more toxic than alcohol. Are you ready to transform it into confidence, courage and CAPACITY?
It all happens in the BODY, not the mind.
The Gemini new moon is inviting us to RE-imagine our identity, claim the parts we might have given away out of chronic appeasement, plant new seeds of strength and take action on what is most important to us—regardless if you’re afraid. The universe rewards boldness.
This is your reminder to find your center. Identify your WHY. Join me Saturday 5/31 for a powerful masterclass🫶🏼either free over Zoom or In- person in Venice, CA—I’m offering both that day so everyone can take part.
