Did you think you were this much of an inspiration to this person in your life?
I am aware that I have impacted Fotini’s life in many ways as she has mine. She is an incredible woman who just needs a leader to believe in her ability to make a difference in the world!
How does the person who nominated you affect your life?
Fotini brings such joy to my life, She is an inspiration and a beautiful friend. She is raw and real and her ability as an Intuitive Mentor is outstanding.
Explain in your own words what you do that is an inspiration. Try not to be modest!
My mission is to provide vehicles and platforms that give people a voice. Everyone has the right to live a life with freedom, free of conformity and fill of choice. I stand for freedom in our lifetime, I mean real freedom of the heart. To build lifestyles that give us what we deserve whilst making an impact on our community and the greater good. I guess I inspire people as I never see anything but possibilities. I know that if am afraid i must overcome this rapidly to be an example for others. It is not always easy! But I face fear head-on!
Why do you do what you do? What drives you?
I feel I was given so many opportunities in life that they must have been given to me to do good with them. When I lost my dad at age 15 years I realized that life is short. So many heartaches happened and I watched many people fall to depression through a perceived lack of freedom. But freedom comes form the heart, the spirit. If I can get up when times are tough and get on with life with a smile then I am satisfied and I can show those who struggle s different way.
I never believed life was about possessions, rather give to another than keep fro a rainy day. i am driven by the lifting of anthers soul when they realize they have choices. That life is give n to us the ultimate gift to do with it what we choose!
What are your core values?
Connection, Congruency, Committment, Collaboration and Contribution
When was the last time you did something for yourself?
Hmm…lots of giving back to others, I do live in Bali so a simple massage for myself when I feel the need to recharge. I travel but mostly for my business.
Outline your perfect ‘me time’. A hot bath with candles? Or perhaps just a walk by yourself to reflect?
Escaping to a place of serenity, sipping fresh juice lying on a sun lounger. Time to reflect on my own need and time to celebrate life.
What inspires you in day-to-day life?
Working with clients and having them become so authentic they realize they are already free. It sends buzzes through my whole body.
