Carline Bejin-Dye left her successful career of 15 years in corporate America to pursue a life she could be passionate about. She began her own quest of facing her fears and becoming the woman she always wanted to be. Carline founded Beautiful Authentic Life to serve women and to focus on helping women thrive in spite of adversity. With a combination of laser coaching, mindset and relaxation exercises, women are able to complete life-changing journeys which enables them to live with intention, to listen to their inner voice, speak their truth, learn how to love themselves, and stop letting their situation define who they are. Truly believing that the transformation begins from within, she is committed to helping women find their purpose and achieve ultimate success.

Main Points:

How being overworked while deeply caring for her child’s recovery led to a life altering wake up call for Carline; making her the thriving woman who she is today.

After being laid off, the process Carline used to discovering her purpose and creating her business.

The steps to creating a beautiful authentic life and a heart centered business.

Carline’s biggest limiting belief and how she overcame this belief.

Making time for self-care, the importance of setting up a daily regimen, and what Carline uses to invest in herself.

Three Steps to Recapturing Your Spirit eGuide

Carline’s words of wisdom to go from being hopeless to being more than capable of walking into your purpose.

Carline’s Golden Phrases:

You may hate me right now but you are going to love me when you are able to get up, walk, run and were able to get through this.

As a mom you put your children first in everything you do and you don’t pay attention to what’s going on with yourself.

It’s not about having that perfect plan where nothing will ever go wrong because things will go wrong, but when you have that plan in place you know where to pick up from.

When you look at competition it’s not about how they do it, it’s about who they are because not everybody will resonate with you.

I had to come to the realization that whoever relates to me will resonate with me and who ever doesn’t, wont.

When I was laid off, I felt like I failed even though it wasn’t my fault. One of the things that I realized is that you cannot go through things by yourself; you have to surround yourself with positive like-minded people.

Fail forward! Let yourself fail so that you can get there.

Melina had a stellar career in corporate America, earning six figures as an advertising executive when she realized that working for the Fortune 100 corporation was not her destined path. Melina Bliss is a Wholistic Enlightenment Coach, an Intuitive Vibrational Guide, and a speaker with a passion for connecting people of all ages with their authentic selves, by unleashing their vibrational flow. Since leaving the corporate scene 13 years ago she has been coaching and guiding clients, as well as finding a creative outlet in web design and image creation. Melina’s company is Momental Bliss, focuses on connecting our innate creativity, compassion, and connectivity….one moment, one vibration at a time. An additional avenue in Melina’s spectrum of offerings entails providing Business Image Enhancement services that facilitate her assisting them in elevating their business image to the next level. You can join Melina on her Secret Super Power Hour Live Blog Talk Radio Show. While Melina wears many hats, the most joyful role that she is privileged to have, is being a single mother to two amazing young boys. One of her sons is special needs; she is happily committed to homeschooling them both. Melina doesn’t just teach and guide her children, she learns from their wise and loving tutelage as well.

Main Points:

Melina shares her story and how she uses her gifts to fulfill her purpose.

Making the transition from earning 6 figures to being her own boss.

Tapping into your intuitive nature.

The Secret Super Power Hour and how you can turn your power into a business.

Instilling the awareness of secret super powers into your children to better equip them for life.

Your BUT is not going to get you anywhere! How your language affects what you receive.

Golden Phrases:

We are all connected through energy; universally and we all have this intuitive nature within us.

Part of your secret super power is your intuitive nature and the ability to recognize the tiny little things that we overlook, dismiss, or take for granted; but instead we need embrace them so that they will give power to us.

When you use the word BUT you are putting the brakes on what YOU can receive as well as on what people can receive from you because that BUT stops everything.

Be conscious of that one little word, “but”, and the power it has. Try making that one little word go away so that so much more will come your way.

Release the whole “I don’t feel capable that I can do it” mentality because the language that you are putting out into the universe is saying, “I am not ready”.

Stop in the moment the minute you are having an overwhelming or nagging feeling, and breathe into it. Ask your God or universe to bring you guidance to follow your intuitive nature.

Silence is an answer, it is your opportunity to really sink in and get yourself ready. And after you work through the silence, then the answers will start to flow.

The Purpose Driven Mother Podcaster, Life Coach and Speaker, Alisha Askew passionately empowers mothers to go beyond “the apron”, discover their purpose and achieve the life that they truly desire.

As the Mom Elevation Expert, Erica is passionate about supporting and guiding moms along their journey to achieve their dreams. Being a mom since the tender age of 17, Erica has mastered the art of raising her children while achieving her dreams.

Instead, having children should be your motivation to achieve your dreams. Access To Your Dreams Conference kicks off Saturday March 28th, 2015

Main Points:

Erica’s backstory on how she propelled herself to not be a teen mom statistic and the breaking point that led Erica to her purpose.

Mom guilt syndrome- How to manage it and if it will ever go away?

Tapping into your greatness to become the woman you were designed to be.

Erica’s favorite books: Successful Women Think Differently by Valerie Burton No Matter What by Lisa Nichols

Erica’s Golden Phrases:

You know how they say when you go through a divorce your mourning the loss of something. That’s how I felt, I thought I was going to die from the pain and the separation; I just wanted to be normal again.

I put more fears in my mind by comparing myself to others and not really understanding my power and gift.

We have a tendency to overlook what comes natural to us and we discount it because being that it is so natural, we don’t have to work for it.

Once I got out of “my story” I was able to stand on that story knowing that I got through it so that I can help someone else get through it.

Tapping into your greatness requires you to make the decision and just do it. Believe in yourself first and know that you have what it takes or God wouldn’t have given you those gifts.

Project ME– A Journey to Being a Better You!

Kiana’s Golden Phrases:

I had decided the only way to help women not be the type of woman I had become, I had to make sure teenage girls were not the type of teenager girl I was.

When you go through something that changings your life, perspective, or gives you an Aha moment, there’s something about those moments that triggers that gut feeling inside of you. It will either make you stand up for what you believe or it will make you coward down to what you don’t believe.

Intentional parenting is about making sure that the world that your children know is recognizable to them.

Leading with integrity really makes a difference in how we communicate with our kids.

We tell our children to reach for the sky but then we put a ceiling on top of them and never let them see that the sky is out there; so as a result we end up having is a bunch of eagles with a chicken mentality.

Growing your business on one Power Hour a day!

Angel’s Recommended Book: The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone

Angel’s Golden Phrases:

De-cluttering is so much more than the external stuff that people collect overtime. For me it’s about the mindset, the emotions, spirit, finances, and relationships; de-cluttering every aspect in your life.

It all starts in the mind because our thoughts become words, words become actions and actions turn into habits.

It is an investment in yourself to be happy. Happiness is a choice. Choose to think a different way. Choose a different outlook.

Choosing to be happy is the number one choice you should be making every day.

This is a temporary situation. You can either pay now and play later or play now and pay later.

Life is so short and people sometimes wait too long to make non-negotiable decisions. It’s not about being controlling it’s about being in control of yourself.

Its just one day, one situation, one choice, one person and it doesn’t have to affect your entire life.

Soul Detox Saturdays- releasing the mess from the week so that you can “breathe”.

LaTara’s Golden Phrases:

People with a hustle mentality don’t get far, because when you hustle you’re always trying to get that next hustle.

Women play the victim well, because we were born to be nurturers but what we do with that nurturing is then we become martyrs.

You command the day! We are blessed with time; will you waste it or will you be purposeful in your actions? Do everything from the heart and with intention!

Often times who we want to be is who somebody else is but emulate people by honing in on qualities that bring out the best in you.

Favorite books as a mother and entrepreneur: The Artist Way By Julia Cameron, The Four Hour Work Week, Liquid Leadership The Success Principle

Alissa’s Golden Phrases:

Being a Consultress allows me to have a little bit of kick ass, a little bit of sass, while being authentic and holding a space of compassion for people to transform the way that they need to, not how the world sees them.

When you try to change yourself to fit into someone else’s box it really isn’t sustainable and it never works; it becomes an obligation and starts to feel less than desirable.

Success is not defined by our culture or society, it is defined by you.

When I became a mom it added more gravity to experiences, it made it that much more powerful for everything that was happening to me because I realized that I was a living example now.

A lot of the times we go into business thinking that we are going to change something but what actually happens is that we end up transforming and evolving ourselves.
