Can you share more about your journey from being a Certified Nursing Assistant to becoming an entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry?

My journey from being a Certified Nursing Assistant to becoming an entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry is deeply rooted in personal growth, empowerment, and a desire to make a positive impact.

Becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant was initially a practical choice influenced by seeing my family members pursue nursing careers.

However, what began as a job to provide for my daughter and me soon transformed into a profound calling. As I immersed myself in caring for others, I discovered a deep sense of fulfillment and purpose. It became clear to me that helping others was not just a job but a calling, and I embraced it wholeheartedly, viewing myself as a vessel of God’s compassion and love. Despite finding fulfillment in my work, I felt a growing desire to chart my own path and pursue entrepreneurship. Growing up with a strong sense of independence, I was drawn to the idea of setting my own schedule and working autonomously. Transitioning to home care, where I could care for individuals in the comfort of their own homes, provided me with the autonomy and confidence I needed to take the leap into entrepreneurship. My journey into the health and wellness industry as a professional was driven by a personal commitment to reclaiming control over my health and well-being. After successfully losing 53 pounds and transforming my own life, I felt compelled to share my journey and empower others to do the same. Recognizing the challenges faced by women, especially mothers, on their wellness journeys, I was determined to create a supportive sisterhood where women could find strength, inspiration, and empowerment. In essence, my journey from Certified Nursing Assistant to entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry is a testament to the power of personal growth, determination, and a desire to make a difference. It’s about embracing opportunities for growth, listening to the calling of the heart, and empowering others to lead healthier, happier lives.

What inspired you to start Kick-It LLC and later join Total Life Changes?

How do these ventures align with your personal mission and values?

The inspiration behind Kick-It LLC stemmed from a deeply personal journey of overcoming depression and navigating the challenges of single motherhood. Recognizing the profound connection between holistic wellness and mental health, I embarked on a journey to prioritize self-care for my MIND, BODY, & SOUL. Starting with detoxing and crafting flavorful fruit blends, I inadvertently stumbled upon a solution that resonated with others seeking healthier alternatives. As demand for my blends grew, I realized the potential to turn my passion into a business. Naming it Kick-It Tea was a reflection of my own journey towards kicking old habits and embracing a healthier lifestyle. Witnessing the transformative stories of individuals like Coach Stormy Wellington and Theresa further fueled my determination to create positive change in my own life. Joining Total Life Changes (TLC) was a natural progression, aligning with my personal mission to empower others and promote holistic wellness. TLC’s commitment to offering high-quality wellness products and providing opportunities for personal and financial growth resonated deeply with my values. By combining my passion for wellness with TLC’s mission-driven approach, I’ve found a platform to authentically support others on their journey to health and happiness. In essence, both Kick-It LLC and Total Life Changes are extensions of my personal mission to inspire positive change, foster authentic connections, and empower individuals to prioritize their well-being. Through these ventures, I strive to make a meaningful impact by sharing my story, offering support, and helping others realize their full potential.

You mentioned facing challenges, including battling depression and experiencing a robbery. How did you overcome these obstacles and continue pursuing your entrepreneurial goals?

Overcoming fears and challenges, especially as a single mother, was undoubtedly daunting. I often found myself grappling with these struggles in solitude, putting on a brave face to hide the turmoil underneath. However, delving into entrepreneurship forced me to confront these obstacles head-on and level up. Despite the weight of depression and uncertainty, I made a conscious effort to push past my comfort zone, shedding pounds, gaining confidence, and facing my fears one step at a time. This habit of forging ahead, even when trembling with fear, ultimately transformed my life for the better. When I encountered setbacks, like the challenges I faced with my first storefront suite, it was a blow to my spirit, shattering my trust and leaving me shaken. Yet, deep within, I knew I couldn’t remain stagnant. Over a year later, with encouragement from above, I found the strength to pick up the pieces and venture into entrepreneurship once again. This journey led me to establish my previous business, The Body Nursery. The key lesson I’ve learned through it all is to refuse to stay stuck. It’s about constantly pushing forward, no matter the setbacks or fears that may arise.

As a mother of two girls, how do you balance your family responsibilities with running multiple businesses and empowering others?

When faced with this general question, I couldn’t help but smile, realizing the depth of my reliance on faith to navigate through life’s challenges. It’s truly a testament to the power of even the smallest seed of faith. I firmly believe that without God’s guidance and assurance, I wouldn’t be able to juggle the responsibilities of motherhood, running a business, and empowering others. It’s a journey that demands hard work, determination, dedication, and unwavering commitment.

Seeking support, I enlisted the help of a business coach to navigate the intricacies of business development, a decision that proved invaluable in preventing potential setbacks. Despite the mental toll of balancing it all, I refuse to make excuses and instead choose to persevere, driven by the realization that no one else will come to rescue me but myself. My motivation stems from the desire to set an example for my daughters, to pave the way for their dreams and aspirations. They are my greatest accomplishment, and knowing my role in their lives gives me the strength to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles.
