Rise up my friends, it is time for a new day. A day filled with opportunity. One where your own self acceptance—understanding and being fine with who you are, can be linked to a sense of adventure, leadership skills, and the ability to shape your life the way you want. 

Have you ever asked yourself, what is “unexpected” about me? What is it that people would never assume about you? How do you break stereotypes? Or, more importantly, are you ready to break stereotypes? 

Our guest today is on a mission. She is an unexpected body-builder. She is also an author, attorney, entrepreneur, and a woman with an inspiring mission to help others rise up.
