Being Motherhustler

Taking life for granted was the name of the game! Finding every shortcut in life in order to take the easy way out! Lindsay Willocks is a Motherhustler, a Mom-trepreneur, Stay at Home Mama of 2 Beautiful Girls, wife to her Best Friend & above all, a Believer! Over the last 20 months she has experienced shifts in her life that have taken her somewhere she’s never dreamed possible...A Healthier Body & a Healthier Mind! She wasn't always physically unhealthy. She played collegiate volleyball at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and was in peak physical condition!  She was living a lifestyle of mindless indulgences but having the metabolism and the work ethic to stay 'Healthy'.  Unfortunately, it was only physical health and not spiritual or emotional health. Just under 2 years ago, she looked at her 2 girls and realized that she was missing out on the most important years of their lives! She decided that enough was enough! Thankfully, she was introduced to a community of people who have guided her in shifting her mindset and subsequently her priorities! She lost a whopping 53 pounds that eventually led her to find her purpose in helping others achieve youthful mental and physical wellness! Along this journey, she has also accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord & Savior! She has become a believer, been saved and baptized all within the last 6 months! She now knows her purpose is to share the light with those lost in the dark! Helping others drives her days and she wouldn't change a second of it!  She had to walk through the dark to appreciate the light!

Another is titled 1x1 - She talks about her journey as an entrepreneur that has bootstrapped her company into reality. And last but not least..

Dawn Jensen-Beaudoin’s most important role in life is a single mother of three amazing children. Through so much adversity and struggles Dawn chooses to live life, not out of pain and victimhood, instead chooses to learn and thrive out of those life experiences. You can find Dawn often sharing her story as she believes testimony is powerful and if we grow through adversity and share those experiences it can give others the strength to do the same. Dawn started in Sales and customer service over 30 years ago and has turned that passion for serving and blessing others into multiple businesses including sales and marketing, contracting and a cleaning business that employed single mothers. Her most recent endeavor into Real Estate has allowed her to help the first time home buyers realize their dream of homeownership when they did not think it was possible.

Lisa Waknin Murphy is a fierce woman who has overcome adversity her entire life. She’s taken these life challenges and turned them into something that is making a real difference. Her personal journey and her neverending hard work advocating for her own daughter’s recovery led her to create Silver Sands Recovery, a substance abuse treatment facility that is turning around the lives of addicts and their families by helping them in their fight against the Opioid Emergency in America. She has helped many people and their families get through the pain and hopelessness of addiction. She is known as “Mother of Recovery” because of how she looks out for everyone in her program. Lisa hailed from New York City where she started her fashion career at a very young age working for top fashion designers.  She personally sold over $250 million dollars of dresses in her fashion career.  She was at the peak of her career, doing multi-million dollar deals with all the top fashion retailers. But as Forest Gump once said, “Life is like a box of chocolates –and you never know what you’re going to get.”  She discovered her daughter was an addict, and her world was turned upside down. The best years of her life professionally were the absolute worst years of her life personally.  That’s when the Brooklyn born mother took over. Through sleepless nights, to working all day, she saw her daughter slipping before her eyes and searched endlessly for help to get her daughter back. Her experience in recovery treatment is steeped from the perspective of a parent that wants to save her kids live. That's the difference in her approach to treating addiction... It’s what she calls “The Reality Model”.  And it’s working! Lisa's founding principle is to provide a superior foundation for Long Term Sobriety. As the parent of an addict, Lisa knows firsthand the devastation addiction. She works side by side families, helping them bring the bottom up to the addict thereby getting them into treatment. Her many years of trying to help her own daughter (who’s been sober since 2015) have led Lisa to immerse herself in the field of recovery.  She’s teamed up with medical and clinical experts and adding in her own true experiences from running a successful $60M company to being the parent of an addict has given this program a unique perspective. Parents from clients are quoted, "Finally I have someone I can speak with that knows what I went through and knows what these kids need. She's a voice of reason, has compassion and cares." Lisa always makes herself available to families in need.

Happy Cinco de Mayo amigos!!! Today marks 19 years of me being an immigrant in the USA. Although it's been an amazing journey and yes, I still wouldn't trade it for anything...it's also been full of trials and tribulation.  Nothing killed me so it just made me become the badass that I am now. When you are faced with adversity dance with it, acknowledge the struggle but don't allow it to anchor you down to nothing.  Move.  Get in motion.  Write your goal even when they seem impossible because what I know now is that nothing is really impossible in this world.  Everything in this world we're created to match our abilities and potential as a human being. It was all designed by something higher to make it all work and sync.  So sync with it and go get it! I wish you well on this blessed Sunday and don't forget to write a review.

Everyone has that make or break moment. That moment you either rise up or let life's choices and experiences consume you. Lance Essihos chose to rise and there was no ceiling.  Experiencing lows is a normal part of life just as living through the highs.  Lance began his life in a loving home in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with loving parents and family who worked hard who gave him everything he needed and then more.  Life was good until it wasn't. Lance had a passion for hockey.  He had been a star player who stood out with great talent; ahead of the other kids his age.  He played in all the top teams in world-class tournaments.  Slowly the competition caught up with him.  By the age of 20, the pressure led him to look for ways to stay competitive.  Steroids immediately ended his career and the devastation began.  That followed with dead-end jobs, drinking, drugs and partying into a state of depression and anxiety.  Lance continued the party across Europe and into Australia bar-tending in some of the best hotels and restaurants.  He discovered his love of people.  Socializing and taking care of them were part of his passion.  He was working hard all day, partying all night and still in a very dark place. Life was a blur and he was spiraling out of control.  That's when he got the call.  The call that his younger brother had taken his own life and he was the one who had to tell his dad.  This was rock bottom with a destructive cycle continuing at a new low.  It's in these rock bottom moments that the choice occurs and Lance chose to rise.  He made some positive choices and get clean and sober.  This allowed him to be sharp and clear-headed perpetuating the positives.  He met Tamara who supported him in every way possible.  Encouraging him to live his best life.  He pulled himself up and started living the life he had dreamed of, the life he was meant to live. Now, he's a positive influence on those who see adversity as a roadblock.  He started the University of Adversity Podcast to share, not only his story but stories just like his.  His hope is that when you are faced with a rock bottom choice you choose to rise as well.
