This special episode explores the subject of Daysy's own spiritual experiences, and how they shaped her professional career. She talks about her spiritual awakening and how it helped her to understand that her work is also part of her life mission. Literally.

Everything became a simple concept: We are all connected! Learning to love yourself as who you are is a simple but essential concept, and a lesson we should practice every day because once mastered, it can be applied to any part of people's lives. Happiness does come from within. 

Some people say that a boudoir photo session can be a powerful form of therapy. Today's episode will prove that this is absolutely true! Gorgeous Amy is a sweet soul, the mother of two 2 lovely daughters aged 18 and 21, and an accomplished Executive Assistant for a big pharmaceutical company. Although Amy describes herself as a "textbook introvert," she is a joy to chat with as well as an inspiration as she works on rediscovering herself and loving the beautiful woman she is. Amy shares with us a bit of her story: how a narcissistic relationship tarnished her self-image, and how it took time and great effort to put the past behind her and embrace her self-worth. After so much hard work rediscovering herself, Amy is back in the dating game (we might even record another episode with Amy about dating in your 40s--that will be fun!). Here what Amy has to say about her experience during the process: "Don't be afraid to face your demons, because they stay with you all your life. I'm 46 and I should have addressed my self-confidence issues long, long ago."

Jasmin is this gorgeous 28-year-old African American goddess, born in Harrisburg, PA but currently residing in Frederick, MD. Jasmin is a single mother, blessed with three beautiful children (1 boy and 2 girls). Even though Jasmin is young, she's had a great number of difficulties in her early life, and she shared with us her memories from her past: the battle and struggle with addiction and how much it has taken from her, until she realized she could not keep going that path and how she was able to rise and conquer. It was a hard process, but today she is clean and free and she is building up on a path of self-love for and love for others around her. That decision has brought so much joy and positive energy and it built new and happier memories with her kids and partner, who are her main supporters. Her strong and stable relationship with her partner is also helping her heal from past traumas, and today she is starting to see her real self as the person she wants to be: a happier and loving mother and partner, who is walking on the path of happiness. Jasmin also shares her reasons to choose doing a boudoir session and her experience as a whole, and how it has helped her on that journey.

Melissa walked us through her main life points on this interview, giving us a chance to get to know a little bit about her amazing soul, but enough to understand that all of us share something special. Melissa was raised in Montgomery County, and she is the only girl, the 3rd child out of 4. She says she grew up as a tomboy. Melissa graduated from Towson University with a degree in fine arts and not quit a minor in psychology. She had plans to become an art therapist but she never went back to school. She became an assistant manager for a florist for 6 years and her close friend became a police officer, that was when she started riding along. It was enough to get her hooked and she became a police officer!! 

Now, currently 60 years old of maturity in life, her motto is "Kindness is contagious be a carrier" and it says so much about this amazing lady!!!

She first look into doing a Boudoir Session after coming out of my second failed marriage and turning 60, but it became something bigger than that. It reminded her she is enough and she is beautiful! Listen her interview to understand more about her story. 

Here is a lovely message Melissa wishes to share with you: "Believe in yourself. Know that you are beautiful inside and out. Don’t listen to media!"

The Crown Forward! Here is Melissa's question for the next Bombshell to be interviewed: When was it that you realized that you are absolutely gorgeous?

Who will be the next bombshell on our episode 2? You will find out soon, and she will answer that question for us :)

Thank you so much, Melissa! May your path be always blessed with love and kindness, because you definitely leave of positivity a trace wherever you go! 

xoxo,

Daysy
