"There are inevitably so many factors that go into achieving and then maintaining real success. Right at the forefront is understanding what you are really trying to achieve and what you will consider to be a satisfactory level of success when you get there. For me, achieving real success at something has always required the usual ingredients: preparation, practice, patience and perseverance, or a willingness to fail enough times to learn how to overcome and achieve a higher standard consistently. It has also always meant staying true to myself and doing it my way. When I discovered golf and started posting on social media about the trials and tribulations a beginner golfer goes through, I was truly surprised and gratified by the amount of support and encouragement I received. I felt a real and personal connection. So it has always been extremely important to me that the person that shows up in the posts at @NewLadyGolfer is really me, and that the story I tell there is the real story. Let’s face it, there are lots of social media personalities out there and we will probably never know how many are an honest representation of the person behind the posts. That was never an option for me; I could never consider anything I might achieve to be a real success if the effort and (like golf) the results didn’t have genuine integrity about them. That genuineness has to extend to everything I do. I don’t compare myself to other golf influencers or social media personalities. Through my posts, I try to stay true to sharing each part of the golf journey my followers have decided to come along with me on. I like to “stay in my lane” and see where that takes me. It doesn’t have to look or feel like anyone else’s journey; it is simply what it is. That way, there is clarity and an inevitable uniqueness to the content that I hope makes it more interesting and compelling. Whether I will ever achieve true success on a golf course is in the hands of the golf gods, but telling the story of my golf journey genuinely and honestly in the content I post will always be the most important factor to the success I achieve in social media with @NewLadyGolfer.

I was fortunate to be selected as the first official social media host for The Farmer’s Insurance Open in 2020 and the experience I gained was invaluable. It has led to opportunities to host and create unique content for other golf tournaments and to TV hosting opportunities. I am currently hosting GolfLife, a golf lifestyle show that airs nationwide each month. I am also very excited to be teaming up with The Century Club again to host The Farmers Insurance Open in 2021. And of course, my work to improve my game on the golf course continues!"

"I was born and raised in Juarez, Mexico and I migrated to El Paso, Texas at the age of 13. Despite not speaking any English, I began working to help support my parents with our financial situation by selling candies in school and cleaning restrooms.

Later, when I was in high school, I decided to join the medical program at Bel Air High School and was accepted into the dental program. Working as a Dental Assistant was not my passion, but it seemed like the only option available to me, so I thought that was going to be my career. My parents never went to college and didn’t know much about the process, so college was never a part of my plan.

My counselor from high school was the only teacher who believed in me and encouraged me to apply to go to college. I decided to listen to him, and long story short, I was accepted into UTEP.

I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) with a bachelor’s in Computer Science and a minor in Math. I worked for NASA in the Summer of 2017 and the Summer of 2018. Later on, I interned at Apple where I got to meet Tim Cook. I’m currently working for an awesome company called Google."

"This summer I had the privilege to be a NASA intern at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Interns play a vital and important role at NASA. I worked with the cyber security branch, which allowed me to develop security information, event manager reports, and analyses to protect KSC’s next Launch Control System. I learned about different cybersecurity concepts and assisted with protocols, vulnerability assessments and reports, patching reports, security monitoring, and malware scanning. I helped secure the center, its rockets, and its systems.

NASA gives you the opportunity to be part of agency groups, and meet people from throughout the program across the United States. NASA employees always were willing to share knowledge that helped me grow. I was part of NASA’s Hispanic Outreach and Leadership Alliance (HOLA), and Kennedy Networking Opportunities for Women (KNOW).

I was nervous at the beginning of this journey because I left my friends, family, and city for the first time, but this experience was incredible. It impacted my life so much. This internship has prepared me better for my future. It helped me grow as a person, especially in my self-confidence. It proved to me that hard work pays off. These opportunities are not easy to obtain, but when you work hard, you get rewarded.

This internship was a blessing and an opportunity for me. To work with one of the most amazing federal agencies had been one of my life’s goals. I got to see a live launch for the first time in my life. I got to see behind the scenes and learn how they create rockets and new technology. I also had the honor to work and interact with people from different ethnicities and learn about their cultures. My favorite part of this internship was attending important events and meeting celebrities such as Vice President Mike Pence; U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida; and Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon.

It was a great experience. As a Hispanic student, it was an honor to represent The University of Texas at El Paso at NASA. I look forward to helping NASA take us to Mars."

Reclamation Summary:

Are you ready to reclaim your true self? Like, really ready to change and shed the
baggage?

Lona Cook wasn’t until she couldn’t ignore change any longer. A literal gun to the chest.
Maybe you don’t even register that you need to make changes to live authentically. Lona
realized in hindsight that many of the changes that would empower her life had been staring at her for years. During her twenties, there were literal nudges from the Universe to “wake up” around every corner. But, for the most part, she was tone-deaf to them. A holdup at gunpoint in Costa Rica was the beginning—cracking open some light to look at life
differently. Now, Lona shares that message in Reclamation, helping you see your life—and your whole, true self—through a new lens. Learn to recognize what the Universe is telling you about who you are, what your purpose is, what you need, and where you’re going.

Reclaim your power. Reclaim your joy. Reclaim your life.

Abagail and Emylee founded Think Creative Collective just months after meeting each other online. What began as a conversation over wine on Abagail’s office floor transformed into building a community and business that had ridiculous goals, dreams, and ideas. Together they built a multi-six-figure business in under 12 months by helping thousands of creative entrepreneurs build a soul-fulfilling and freaking profitable business.

When they’re not building their empire you can find Abagail arranging fresh flowers, cuddling her rescue beagles, or sipping on a McDonald’s Coke (yes, even she has weaknesses). If you want to catch up with Emylee you’ll need to head to the local coffee shop to find her (and make sure to buy her an extra shot). Otherwise, she’s creepily watching her new baby sleep or posing her newest houseplant for an Insta-worthy gram. 

We help overwhelmed creative entrepreneurs create a functioning command center to tame the chaos of their business so they can build a profitable and sustainable business from their passion. We’ve got happy and hustling students from all over the world who are both brand-spankin' new and a little bit seasoned in their business. At Think Creative Collective we strive to pivot the creative community from keepers of secrets to givers of tactics and strategies. When we unlock something (anything) we’re ready to turn around and deliver it right to you so you can get to kicking business booty. Because here’s the beef:

You’ve got dreams that are worth achieving.

• You should wake up every day empowered to do and be your best.
• You are 100% capable.
• It’s time to go after a business and life that you will love.

Implementing a High-Touch Signature Service™️ With Systems That Scale

• You’ll remove yourself from over 50% of your daily tasks (without sacrificing client work, income or quality)
• You’ll raise your prices to accommodate your high-touch signature offer (you’ll be doing *less*, but making *more*)
• You’ll create a totally automated experience for your prospect generation, client onboarding, communication, scheduling and more (that will still feel totally customized and unique to your clients)
• You’ll create scalable, predictable and reliable months that are determined by *your* schedule and life

"On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (JWHO). The ruling upheld Mississippi’s ban on abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy, overturned Roe v. Wade, and ended the federal constitutional right to abortion in the United States.

By overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court erased nearly 50 years of precedent. They took away our power to make our own personal medical decisions, and they gave that power to lawmakers. The court’s decision most harms Black, Latino, Indigenous, and other people of color — communities for whom systemic racism has long blocked access to opportunity and health care.

The ruling will have a ripple effect, spreading abortion bans across the United States. About half the states in the country could move to wipe out abortion access. Some of these states have policies that ban abortion immediately. Others are led by lawmakers who are hostile to abortion and have a history of passing abortion restrictions.

Thirty-six million women, plus many others who can become pregnant, are at risk of losing abortion access in their state.

The Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling on January 22, 1973, decriminalized abortion nationwide. It gave people the right to access abortion legally all across the country and freed patients to access the health care they needed when they needed it without fear.

Despite all the attacks on abortion rights, the Supreme Court had — until now — honored Roe v. Wade’s core principle: that the Constitution protects a person's right to make their own private medical decisions, including the decision to have an abortion prior to fetal viability. The court honored that principle through decisions in key abortion rights cases, including Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey and Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt.

So, what changed? The makeup of the Supreme Court. Three relatively new Supreme Court justices — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — brought records hostile to reproductive health and rights to the court.

Beyond the numbers, personal stories show that abortion is an essential health care service — no matter the reason."

Allyson Bio:

“I am a prosperity transformation coach. My mission in life is to end struggle and bring joy to the worlds of one million women and men. I developed Success Without Struggle: The Prosperity Approach because my own journey was filled with so much struggle, I practically choked on it every day. I started my online business in 2013 because I wanted to change my family tree from one filled with scarcity thinking and playing small, to prosperity thinking and playing HUGE! I wanted to make cool memories with my husband and our four children in exotic places around the world, and show them a better way to get to their dreams. And so I began my hike. By 2015 I’d built my company up to multiple six figures, bringing in about $25,000 a month. We’d never come close to making that kind of money! And for a while, we did get to make those cool memories in fun places: Hawaii, Disney World, cross-country trips, and road trips. We remodeled the house, bought new cars, and had fun buying things without having to look at the price tag. But there was a dark side to success. I was terrified I would fail, and I showered in self-doubt all day every day, second-guessed every idea I had, yearned for the weekends when I didn’t have to spend every waking moment working my business, and lived in the agony of overwhelm and “not enough.”

 I was such a head case that I woke up at 2 am every morning with my guts twisted in anxiety thinking, “Oh NO! What have I done? I’ve created this lifestyle for my family…but what if I can’t maintain this? What if I can’t sustain this? WHAT IF WE LOSE IT ALL? What will we do?”

 The worst part was that I was fully aware that I was a head case! I KNEW I was getting in my own way! I KNEW I was making it harder than it actually was. And I had no idea how to stop.

 I micromanaged the journey, felt defeated before I even started, and hated my life because I felt so powerless.

 The belief that backed all the hard work I was putting into my business was that it was too big for me and that I couldn’t handle it.

 So, slowly but as surely as night follows day, my business began to collapse.

And no matter what I did—mentors, strategies, a marketing team, programs I implemented—nothing changed.

 I continually felt like I was dangling off the side of a mountain, naked and exposed to the elements, and slipping more every day.

 If you prefer the gentler slope as you Rise Up your mountain… (which is what I offer in my Rise Up Group Mentoring program) Or you want to be tethered to me as we thrill in the exhilaration of Ascending to the top and then Quantum Leaping to your next mountain… (which is what I do in my private mentorship, and is not for the faint of heart!)
