What makes you a "Divine Woman in Business? ✨What is your story?
My origin story is rooted in my struggle with chronic people-pleasing.
For years, I put everyone else’s needs above my own. My Friends. Family. Colleagues. It felt like my worth was tied to how much I could do for others, but in the process, I lost sight of myself. I realized that constantly putting myself last wasn’t sustainable.
With the support of my family, I began to change. I started putting on my “SHERO” cape and learned how to prioritize self-care, establish boundaries, and, most importantly, put myself first guiltlessly.
Embracing my SHERO superpowers has transformed my life and made me a better version of myself: for me and everyone around me.
"What is a story of strength, survival or hardship you have overcome and what did that teach you?
Setting boundaries felt uncomfortable, even unnatural, in the beginning. I was so used to saying yes to
everything and everyone that saying no felt like I was letting people down or that I was being selfish or
even cruel.
My underlying fear of rejection, the fear that people wouldn’t like me as much if I didn’t always agree to help was very active. It took time to rewire those thoughts and remind myself that setting boundaries isn’t about pushing people away, but about honoring myself and what I need to stay healthy and happy.
One of the biggest challenges was overcoming the guilt I felt when I prioritized my own needs, but through practice, I realized that self-care isn’t selfish: it’s essential.
"What advice would you give to other women to succeed as "Divine Women" in their lives?"
Society pressures you to be everything to everyone. Wife. Mother. Friend. Caretaker. Career Woman. It
creates an environment where women feel like they must constantly give and perform to prove their worth.
At a young age, we are taught our value is tied to how much we do for others, how accommodating we can be, and how well we fulfill the roles expected of us. Women are conditioned to be nurturers and givers. This leads to people-pleasing when we forget to include ourselves in the list of people we care for. Breaking free from those pressures requires unlearning that external validation and embracing self-love and personal boundaries.
