    Business Name: Gracefully Broken

    How long have you had this business: Almost a month as of Dec 1st

    Service/Product offered in your business: Clothing, Shoes and Accessories


    Bio: Vanessa has been an Accountant for 6 years, during her time working as an

    Accountant she obtained her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with concentration in

    accounting and shortly after obtained her Master’s in Psychology. In 2019, Vanessa added

    another source of income as a Notary Signing Agent. In early 2020, she decided to open her

    own Notary Business “VIA Notary Corp.”. Although she feels extremely blessed with all that she

    has accomplished, her true desire was to open an online clothing store. It started as a thought,

    turned into a dream, became a desire, then she set a goal and finally it became her reality.

    Gracefully Broken was born!

    Vanessa's Mission: Gracefully Broken is more than a clothing store to Vanessa, it’s a

    reflection of where she has been and the journey that got her to this present day. It’s the start of

    something bigger that God had been tugging at her heart for quite some time. She will

    eventually use this platform for a greater cause. Her passion is to Empower, Encourage and

    bring Hope to others through her story. Giving up shouldn’t be an option whether they’ve been

    said “No” or that “They can’t”, every day is progress not perfection. Lastly, all Glory goes to God,

    he is the ultimate solution, we will never be fulfilled apart from him, and it is her mission to tell all

    that will hear “He is able”.

      • Deborah shares the important of taking advantage of every chance she got at life, despite the struggles.

        My name is Deborah Smart; I live in Newark, Delaware. I am a widow living with an 18-year-old calico named Bridgette, who is my joy.

        My Three Greatest Accomplishments consist of my strong, unwavering faith, perpetual creativity, and invincible tenacity.

        By keeping the Lord in the center of my life, my unwavering faith has kept me through very tough times, such as abusive treatment, self-destructive behavior, and many other adversities.

        My creative mind and curiosity allowed me to launch three separate businesses and write five books.

        I launched Direct Konnections, Inc. in 1985, a computer software development and training business.

        In 1998, I founded Gladstone Publishing Services, a full-service publishing business. I helped over 50 first-time authors get their books written and published.

        In 2011, I morphed both businesses into One Smart Lady Productions, LLC. I have incorporated all of my talents, skills, and gifts to help authors build a publishing and marketing platform in addition to getting their books written and published.

        In 2021, I launched my podcast, “Smart Talks with One Smart Lady,” which is produced on multiple platforms. It honored me to have as my first guest my mentor and coach, Terri Levine.

        This year, I focus on launching my 3-tier proprietary system, "Smart Publishing Lifestyles.” I help authors leverage their book publishing and marketing guarantee.

        Later this year or early 2023, I plan to launch a second podcast, “The Caregiving Entrepreneur” - How to Juggle Two Demanding Worlds at the Same Time.

        My invincible tenacity helps me stay focused on my dream to continue working for as long as I can be a productive servant leader to my family, friends, and community.

        Upcoming Books:
        Anthology Contributor: Behind Closed Doors - Co-Authors Network
        New Book: 3rd in the Joy Comes Through Series: Joy Comes Through Life’s Interruptions

        I help authors leverage their book publishing and marketing guaranteed by working through the process of focusing on the book production, personal growth as an author understanding they are now in the beginning stages of building a publishing and marketing business and brand.  I do this through my 3-tier Proprietary Process called Smart Publishing Lifestyles.

      • AlKarim Chatur breaks down how losing everything he ever worked for and rising above it all by finding his newfound passion for energy and how it plays a huge role in how one manifests their life.

        Over the course of my life, I’ve come to one conclusion, Energy is Everything. Whether it’s the world around us or the constructs within ourselves, energy is what dictates existence.

        Hello, my name is AlKarim Chatur, I am from Ontario – Canada. My business is called NRJI  a play on words for ENERGY-

        I am a seasoned intrapreneur.  I help business owners and professionals, increase their Emotional Quotient by helping them work from the inside, so that they can out create and design the life that they desire. I do that from my unique position of bringing a fusion of Business acumen in my consulting, empathy in my coaching and intuition from my energy practice.

        I spent most of my life in the high-stress business environment. I know how easy it is to fall off the course you planned that can then result in overwhelm expressed in the form of fear, anger and frustration.

        My goal is to revitalize my clients’ perceptions. To get them to design and create the life they desire – One that is full of Love, Joy and Abundance.

        For the last 20 years of my career, I was in the furniture industry. It was challenging work that always felt like an uphill battle. I felt like I was stuck with no way out – reminding me of the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas where he describes his position as one where the distance traveled was further than the distance back. Therefore, I was always convinced that I had to battle this out- I had no Choice.

        Until one day, in late 2017, When the Universe decided to take control.  I got a call that our business building was on fire.  This unfortunate incident forced me to shut down the business and put me into a very dark place.

        It was then that I was introduced to how one’s energy plays a huge role in how one manifests their life.

        I now draw on real-world experience to deliver first-rate business consulting and coaching.  I infuse the energy philosophy of an aligned mind, body, and spirit into my practice.

        My holistic approach allows for greater breakthroughs as clients move from Resistance to Allowance.

        I offer 1-1 coaching, public speaking and Group coaching.
