Rise Advocates Academy
Before starting the Rise Advocates® Academy, I felt stuck, doing jobs I knew paid well, yet I never felt a sense of fulfillment, and I didn’t believe anyone was valuing my true worth potential.
I started to do what I am asking you to do …
I started to invest in myself through coaching and development, to discover who I was, to understand what was at the bottom of my heart, to believe in my deep calling, and what I’ve been put on this earth to do.
After graduating from law school, I took my first personal development session, and for the first time, someone asked me to define my values, to write my story, and, I was asked the the most important question of my life, “what happened to you?”
