Genesis Mayorga

Right now, I feel like I’m being called to truly love myself in ways I never allowed before. For most of my life, I cared too much about what other people thought of me.

I am being called to fully trust myself and the path I am on. In the past, I was afraid to go after my dreams or even say them out loud because of outside influences that made me second-guess myself.

Britt Michaelian

I’ve gotten to an age where I feel it’s time. I need to face my fears and limiting beliefs head on. To do that, I choose to stretch beyond my comfort zone. I also choose to name my fears and limiting beliefs that I am moving beyond. Read more >>>

Honestly art was always my calling when I started doing it at a young age and when I started my art business I didn’t really think about it to much and decided to just do it because it was something that I really loved to do. Read more >>>
