The interview

What was your situation before joining Ascension Leadership Academy?

About ten months ago, I was really struggling to find myself. I was striving for something that I knew was placed inside me, yet I seemed like I was falling short in my vision, falling short in my business, and my relationships. I found myself in constant fear of really stepping into what I wanted.

What was your experience like during Level Three of the program?

My journey in level three was a roller coaster. It was showing me some big breakdowns to have some really breakthroughs. It stepped me in to show me how to collapse timelines, to be able to do more, by being more, by asking for support that I never asked for support with.

What specific professional milestones did you achieve?

I wanted to start a podcast for years and I literally just jumped in and started a podcast. I completed my youth speaking speech to step into my business and co-created with one of my business partners.

How did the program impact your personal life and mindset as a mother?

For me, being this abundant mom that gets to do all these things to be able to be so grounded and so peaceful and stepping into my worthiness was a big thing. It answered the question of how a mom is going to accomplish this big vision that was placed within her.

What role did the community play in your transformation?

Having the support of these incredible like-minded people to continue to light a fire on me and help me through my breakdowns was essential. Without those breakdowns, I would not have had these massive breakthroughs. It has continued on to have this family that stays with you for basically life.

Why do you recommend completing the full curriculum?

I am so glad that I went on to level three and did not stop at level two because it really stepped me out of my comfort zone. It showed me that yes, fear is going to be evident in our life, but it showed me that courageousness that I have within me.
