"I grew mentally and emotionally while watching Vishen and other motivational speakers who actually spiritually held my hand when I was locked up in my mind"

Before this program, I was struggling with grief after losing my mother when I was a teenager which led to depression. This depression manifested not only from the loss but also from the feeling of not being understood or heard. I felt lonely most of the time though I am married and with children. My family is my biggest gift from God and I am very grateful. I knew I had to do something about the pain that was pulling me down so I had an idea to go back to school. I came to the US in 1993 and joined College in 1997 taking one class at a time as I had three kids by that time along with full-time work. I kept up with my education even after my fourth child was born in 1999. I was determined and I persevered like never before. Had to keep the maddening schedule to keep my mind of off grieving my mom and other obstacles in life I was facing. After receiving my Bachelor in Psychology in 2013, I took 2 years off to decide what I really wanted to do with my life and how I can give back to the community and world at large. I finally made the decision to persue my Masters. In 2019 I graduated with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. Never during this long and painful journey have I neglected my home or my family. I worked full time while I continued my education. I have to tell you, this was not easy. Fighting the mind and telling your body to sit to study was painful but yet I was able to do it and I did it. My goal has always been to finish my education before my target age, and I did. Now I am a proud therapist. To be honest, throughout my educational journey, from the very first time I saw Vishen 20 years back on youtube to how his school has grown is unbelievable. I grew mentally and emotionally while watching him and other motivational speakers who actually spiritually held my hand when I was locked up in my mind. I have always been a positive thinker and motivating others to move forward in life. It just was difficult to do that for me. 
But now the story is different. I am strong, bright, confident, uplifting, inspiring, motivating, encouraging and ferociously powerful to take life back with a ROAR! BTW that is my website I have been working on. 
When life hits rock bottom, I say the only way is up. So I empower women and men whomever I see to move forward in life and to work on becoming the best version of themselves. Am I the best version of myself? No yet! But that doesn't mean I'm not going to. We all need help along our own journeys so we can become stronger than before. This help can come in the form of self help books, autobiographies, motivational speakers, affirmations, and some kind souls that I met along my journey who gave me support, comfort and said "I believe in you. You can do this." So here I am now, Masters degree, four children, a grand son, and a whole New Me. I focus on self care: exercising and eating right to educating myself on personal growth via you tube videos on Mind Valley, Marisa Peer, Les Brown, Bob Proctor, Lisa Nichols, David Goggins, Tony Robbins, Dr. Wyne Dyer, and others. I feed the poor and homeless in the morning before work and in the afternoon after work. My life has humbled me a lot and I am grateful for the challenges that have made me stronger than before. I was a warrior back then but now I am a concious warrior planning my day and living my life to the fullest. I have to. I have one life to live. I am making it my BEST!
