Main Points: Kiana’s purpose driven story and how she became the woman who she is today. Being an introvert and masquerading as an extrovert. Knowing the right time to shift into a new purpose or build onto your existing purpose. How intentional parenting benefits the household and the development of your children. Set your children up for success through intentional parenting; even for busy parents. Creative ways for parents and children to come together and design the future that they want for the family. Biggest takeaways for developing a strong parent-child relationship. Project ME– A Journey to Being a Better You! Kiana’s Golden Phrases: I had decided the only way to help women not be the type of woman I had become, I had to make sure teenage girls were not the type of teenager girl I was. When you go through something that changings your life, perspective, or gives you an Aha moment, there’s something about those moments that triggers that gut feeling inside of you. It will either make you stand up for what you believe or it will make you coward down to what you don’t believe. Intentional parenting is about making sure that the world that your children know is recognizable to them. Leading with integrity really makes a difference in how we communicate with our kids. We tell our children to reach for the sky but then we put a ceiling on top of them and never let them see that the sky is out there; so as a result we end up having is a bunch of eagles with a chicken mentality.

Melina had a stellar career in corporate America, earning six figures as an advertising executive when she realized that working for the Fortune 100 corporation was not her destined path. Melina Bliss is a Wholistic Enlightenment Coach, an Intuitive Vibrational Guide, and a speaker with a passion for connecting people of all ages with their authentic selves, by unleashing their vibrational flow. Since leaving the corporate scene 13 years ago she has been coaching and guiding clients, as well as finding a creative outlet in web design and image creation. Melina’s company is Momental Bliss, focuses on connecting our innate creativity, compassion, and connectivity....one moment, one vibration at a time. An additional avenue in Melina’s spectrum of offerings entails providing Business Image Enhancement services that facilitate her assisting them in elevating their business image to the next level. You can join Melina on her Secret Super Power Hour Live Blog Talk Radio Show. While Melina wears many hats, the most joyful role that she is privileged to have, is being a single mother to two amazing young boys. One of her sons is special needs; she is happily committed to homeschooling them both. Melina doesn’t just teach and guide her children, she learns from their wise and loving tutelage as well. Main Points: Melina shares her story and how she uses her gifts to fulfill her purpose. Making the transition from earning 6 figures to being her own boss. Tapping into your intuitive nature. The Secret Super Power Hour and how you can turn your power into a business. Instilling the awareness of secret super powers into your children to better equip them for life. Your BUT is not going to get you anywhere! How your language affects what you receive. Golden Phrases: We are all connected through energy; universally and we all have this intuitive nature within us. Part of your secret super power is your intuitive nature and the ability to recognize the tiny little things that we overlook, dismiss, or take for granted; but instead we need embrace them so that they will give power to us. When you use the word BUT you are putting the brakes on what YOU can receive as well as on what people can receive from you because that BUT stops everything. Be conscious of that one little word, “but”, and the power it has. Try making that one little word go away so that so much more will come your way. Release the whole “I don’t feel capable that I can do it” mentality because the language that you are putting out into the universe is saying, “I am not ready”. Stop in the moment the minute you are having an overwhelming or nagging feeling, and breathe into it. Ask your God or universe to bring you guidance to follow your intuitive nature. Silence is an answer, it is your opportunity to really sink in and get yourself ready. And after you work through the silence, then the answers will start to flow.

Main Points: Why are we having this conversation in our PJ’s. The beautiful birth that turned into a trauma story. Her Postpartum Depression reality check and the breaking point that led her to her to seek help. Why trying to “fit in” to mommy groups was not working. How she was forced to a network meeting that made her entrepreneur light bulb go off. Why having a supportive community can make a world of a difference. Self-worth, how Rosemary defines it and what exactly does it mean. New hot things going on with Motivating Other Moms. The lessons Rosemary teaches her children as they grow up. Key lessons learned from Rosemary’s purpose driven journey. Rosemary's Golden Phrases: It’s kind of like being a celebrity when all of the sudden you look like you just showed up and you are famous. And that’s not the truth. Behind every person there is a story. With everything that was going on, I ended up with postpartum depression because I was not taking care of myself. I would not ask for help. I asked for help in a roundabout way but not direct. When people don’t realize they are in depression it is hard for them to get help. The same reason why I didn’t fit into high school groups or anything else, I am just different; which most entrepreneurs are. We think differently about life, and what it is, and who we are, and it’s hard to be around other people that aren’t like us. Every single person has to go through something. There’s something that sparks that idea and that passion. That’s the way I look at life now. When something bad happens I’m like, okay, I wonder what are the great results are going to be. I don’t wallow in the misery of it. That idea of knowing that there is a beauty to every ending if you look at it the right way. The Journey is loving yourself, and really your self-worth is the value that you add to the world. Everybody has something, your something is different than the person sitting next to you.
