My Story

 

I come from an amazing family of incredibly dedicated, sweat, blood,

tears type of entrepreneurs. Growing up, I was taught to have a strong

work ethic, a thick skin, and a no matter what attitude.  I learned that if

you want to own your own business - and succeed - you have to be

willing to roll with the punches and take the good with the bad.

 

I did all of this and more when I opened my first business - a women's

accessory boutique at the age of 28. I had three walls, a pretty main

street window and a boatload of determination. I was a happy, excited,

girl.

 

Here's the part I didn't tell people, and didn't even know myself: I submerged myself into a life of "nothing else matters work", and when all signs began pointing in the opposite direction, I didn't listen.  Before I knew it, I was in debt up to my eyeballs, gaining weight, never seeing my other half and losing all my friends because I didn't have time to care. In my mind - this is what entrepreneurs did to succeed - so I accepted all of this as "rolling with the punches". The truth is, I didn't own my business, my business owned me.

 

So what happened? Naturally, I burnt out.  A reality check from my accountant and an honest look at the shape of my life dropped me flat on my face. I hit a breaking point personally, emotionally and financially and got pretty cozy at rock bottom. I couldn't figure out why things weren't working when I was working SO hard - and then it hit me. I wasn't working hard at all on the thing that mattered most. Me.

 

This is what I call the end that sparked the beginning because here's where the magic happened, where I have found huge success, and why I decided to start this community, build a collective of incredible women, and mentor others.  Together, we have started a movement with branches across Ontario and growing into the rest of Canada.  We are empowering women everywhere to live happier, healthier and more successful lives. Our vision for this is global.

 

I have dedicated my life to being happy, healthy, and inspiring others to do the same while achieving success. I help people take their life, DESIGN it and LIVE it while being in the right mind, health and abundance to do so. Together with the HHW Collective, we promote healthy harmony as a way of life, rather than the “All work, no play” mentality that so many women are stuck with. There is a better way, and here's the thing: This big beautiful thing we call life? We only get one. I intend to make it count.

Thank you for joining me in happiness and health.
