A glamour-loving NY/NJ girly girl with big hair and (shockingly) bigger dreams, for many years I got in my own way when it came to actually DOING things to make my dream life a reality, and felt constantly overwhelmed and anxious by a perceived lack of time. Fear-based perspectives, self-doubt and waiting until I was “ready” to go for anything had me in a headlock. Life felt blah, half-assed, and beige rather than POW! [*snaps*], full-out, and drenched in diamonds.
In 2014, out of sheer exhaustion from years of talking about it but not being about it, combined with seeing others spending the majority of their time on things that got them about as excited as staring at a piece of cardboard, I decided to stop acting like a victim and put my crown back on.
I’ve studied and tested different suggestions on practical stuff that had to change like my time management and habits mixed with psychological topics such as positive thinking, self-sabotage, and self-love. Genuine happiness and fabulous opportunities began flooding in when I got committed to doing more of what I enjoy every single day. My life is finally starting to feel like ME because I’ve custom-tailored it to be that way.
I want to help other multi-passionate, cosmopolitan women do more of what they love (both personally and professionally) and be less stressed about time so they can live a life that feels more meaningful and glamorous. In addition to designing systems to manage their glam-packed schedules and goals in a way that doesn’t cramp their style, I aim to help clients feel happier, more confident, and develop more inner peace by working with them on their mindset and relationships with themselves. Basically, I help them start living their “Diva Life”, whatever that looks like to them.
Now, the old me would’ve waited until I was “perfect” at managing my time, “perfect” at deflecting a shitty mood, and uh, while we’re at it, had the “perfect” graphic design for this website before sharing my thoughts. But the old me would’ve been waiting forever, so screw it! Plus, I’m all about the girl power, honey, and what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn’t share with you what I’ve learned, what I’m trying out, and even what I’m still struggling with? Answer: One that would deserve to pony up for the martinis on ladies night indefinitely!
Many of us (including myself) want this world to be more peaceful and loving, and I believe this starts with each of us taking responsibility for getting right within ourselves, and taking a stand for a life no less than fabulous.
Much love,
Erica
