FEATURE GUEST

I became an empowerment coach for girls and young women because I saw there was an important need to provide them with the healing and tools to develop deeper self-worth, to learn how to control their minds and build confidence from within; all the things I did for myself as an adult. My purpose is to help the younger generation heal unprocessed emotional pain which is an essential part of embracing and moving through life in their true power. My work with youth is not about changing who they are – it’s about awakening to the present and allowing themselves to feel the excitement and gratitude of simply being alive. I love sharing the tools I used to transform my own life as well as the teachings from my master’s program in spiritual psychology.

FEATURE  GUEST

Cierra Keaton is a young woman on a mission. Her goal is to help people achieve and overcome obstacles that they feel may be holding them back. Her motto is “Run, walk or crawl, we will achieve it all”. Her goal is to reach as many people as possible, and to educate them on how to create a life worth LIVING. Growing up under a non-traditional household and being told she couldn’t achieve her goals led her down a different path of life. She is in the right place at the right time to help others who are seeking to “Make Their Story” come alive.

Her goal is to empower foster children and traumatized children and give them the power back to REWRITE the story of their life. Cierra is involved with many of the group homes in her local area and will be opening her own girl’s facility called “Our Sisters Keeper.” Our Organization provides a sisterhood and mentorship to youth.
