Speak Out or Shut The F.. Up!


  • Doesn't it feel liberating to express yourself without the constraints of externally and internally super-imposed values?  
  • Don't you breathe better once you go through the motion of your feelings and allow your actions follow through aligned with the exact message you want to convey?
  • Isn't it empowering to see that you can inspire someone else simply by expressing and communicating your own truth?


From personal experience and an incredible amount of reading, learning and observation, I have found that there is a huge value for me to communicate and express myself freely in the world.  I can even say that I was born to master that art and in turn inspire others to do the same.  I began tapping into that truth the moment I could not speak due to a complication in my trachea.  During those silent four months, an unrelenting desire to expose my epiphanies, lessons, journey and fears arose inside of me and I understood then the power of reaching the masses through authentic communication.

Throughout my journey, I have not always been 100% authentic.  Prior to finding myself fighting for my life, I was sucked into the world of "deny the negative" and overdose on the positive.  What it did was stray me away from my life's purpose.  I succumbed into the hype of thinking that expressing myself negatively in any way made me less than ______, labeled me as a nag, unhappy, unaccomplished and unlovable.  No matter what, I wore a smile.  I turned my negativity into passive-aggressiveness and disconnected with "me."

In 2010, I discovered the world of personal development (previously called self-help) and saw that a lot of the hype in the P.D world was still mainly about "the search for happiness, perfection and positivity."  Then, in 2011, I was introduced to Universal Laws.  During that introduction, I felt as if for the first time in my life, someone was speaking my language.  It was practical, scientifically proven, and applicable in everyday life.  Most importantly, this life-altering seminar did not suggest that I discard my negative side, but also learned to love it as much as I love the positive side.  Instead of labeling the negative as "bad and destructive", there was a new paradigm created.  As I learned to integrate this new way of thinking in my everyday life, I discovered that honoring the negative in me helped me feel more whole and in tune with myself.  I felt equilibrated and empowered.

No longer was I afraid of speaking my truth, expressing it in writing or simple everyday actions.  I no longer needed permission to be ME – fully!

So, I ask you this...


  • Are you afraid to speak out?
  • Do you fear that you will not be loved because of the way you think?
  • Are you scared to be ridiculed?
  • Would you love to communicate freely without feeling any of the above?
