True transformation happens when you are open to all of the possibilities! When you let go of the outcome, let yourself surrender and  EXPAND! This is precisely what this amazing woman has done!  It is exactly what has brought Felicia Romero to her amazing success as a business & fitness online coach and podcast host. After following her initial dreams of owning and operating gyms, and working as a fitness & wellness coach, she pivoted and began her online career. After years of experiencing such a demanding schedule, Felicia soon discovered the transformative power of personal growth, in addition to the fact that time is our most precious asset. In her realization that we only have today and time is something we can never get back, she now lives her days with intention to make the most of each day! Felicia shares that going into 2024 holds so much possibility for us all, it is time to be seen and time to GO FOR IT!  Most importantly, we must align our actions with our values to ultimately cultivate a life full of  energy, happiness, and joy.We discuss the seasons of life and the importance of being fully present—whether you're navigating the hustle of a business or cherishing family time. Felicia shares some of the challenges that entrepreneurs can experience,  especially those who are parents. Guilt can creep in and affect our mindset which can sometimes lead to unhealthy comparisons that can sneak into our lives, especially as we juggle personal ambitions with responsibilities like parenting. Sometimes it is necessary, as Felicia shares, to give ourselves grace, as well as the courage to retreat and recalibrate in order to address any limiting beliefs in order to move forward in our endeavors.As Felicia shares openly about beginning her journey in a home-based gym that led to owning and operating multiple gyms, she came to realize her health began to suffer as all of her waking hours were dedicated to being at the gym, leaving no time for her own personal health and wellness. She also began to realize the income was not where she had hoped it would be and ultimately made the decision to sell. She closed that chapter and quickly realized once she pivoted into the online space, the importance of aligning her goals with the various seasons of life. We discuss the importance of being patient with the timeline, having the wisdom to listen to intuition, and the importance of paying attention to certain signals that life sends our way along our journey.  Join us as this beauty shares about navigating pivotal moments, finding balance and embracing the rituals that have ultimately led her to a peaceful, fulfilled, and vibrant life!IG: @FeliciaRomeroCONNECT WITH SHELLY: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wellnesswithshellyjFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShellyNeumannJefferis "Purge Your Pantry" Special pricing for WOW listeners:https://buy.stripe.com/6oEcQQ1WH3xi85qaESA few favorites:Clean-crafted wine, free from chemicals & pesticides:https://scoutandcellar.com/?u=healthyhappyhoursNon-toxic cologne & perfume: https://caylagray.com/wellnesswithshellyjNon-toxic candles & air fresheners:https://goodjujucandles.com/?ref=mrtgnyghCoupon code for 10% off: ShellyJefferisHigh quality, clean nutrition and beauty products: https://shellyjefferis.isagenixThank you for listening to the Words of Wellness podcast with Shelly Jefferis.
