I left my family job to pursue my passion. Leaving behind the comfort of my conventional 9-5 job to embark on a journey fully aligned with my passions was a pivotal moment. The birth of personal growth wasn’t just about pursuing my dreams; it was a message to my son, Wesley, that he possesses the boundless potential to accomplish anything he sets his mind to. As I witnessed the profound transformation in Wesley’s life, along with the positive impact it had on our family, I knew I couldn’t keep it for myself. It became my mission to spread these empowering skills with all of you.
