We recently connected with Sheila Vaske and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Sheila , thanks for joining us today. Going back to the beginning – how did you come up with the idea in the first place?

I remember sitting in a Panera about 19 years ago with a client I had networked with. We were discussing “life” and what we felt our true callings were or dreams per se. I’ve always been what most would describe as a “dreamer”. But, however, I like to think I’ve been more of a “visionary”. Back then, I didn’t understand spirituality or consider myself to be spiritual, I just knew that I had a very close relationship with God, and always felt that our purpose here is meant for something much bigger than we actually can perceive. Perhaps, maybe our journey here is intended to discover what that actually is all along. On that particular day, I remember saying, “ Someday I want to write a book” followed by, “ life doesn’t need to be so hard or complicated, we just tend to complicate it”. I never knew exactly what it was I would write about, but I just felt this “call” to do so.
Fast forward about 9 years later…
Still following the signs and call from God, I began creating inspirational jewelry and accessories that were specifically intended to inspire, motivate, protect and heal all who wore and used them. This became extremely passionate to me, and I created the brand called V’Enza. It was then that I began discovering what spirituality really was and truly began living by it. My spiritual gifts became more enhanced as I grew closer and closer to god, the divine, my angels and guides. The creations actually, really did all they were intended to do, and I was very proud of that. However, this did not come easily… not at all!
I worked on this for 9 years, which takes us to 2020. All the hard work and dedication was finally about to pay off, and V’Enza was on the verge of becoming a National, recognizable brand, and then, in an instant, it was over!
The “Plandemic” happened and very suddenly, I lost the brand and the company. Experiencing this trauma awakened me even more to spiritually. At first, I became bitter and angry and as a result, I became very ill. However, as I looked back and reflected, I realized that all of that was meant to happen so that I could evolve and heal once again.
This was the pivotal moment and where I came to the epiphany to finally write the book I always said I would write. I learned so many valuable lessons in that loss as well as all the other devastating moments and challenges I faced throughout my existence. These lessons were actually blessings! What I discovered was that I could STILL inspire, motivate, heal and protect many others through sharing my personal experiences and how I overcame them. I was working and striving on becoming the highest and best version of myself and I wanted everyone else to have that same opportunity… if they so “choose” to.
This is when I wrote my book “Powerful Mind Powerful Soul”. In conjunction with the book, I created a Powerful Mind Powerful Soul Journal as well as a deck of cards to go along with the journal. The mission and goal for me was to make this an “experience” for the user in order to discover how to tap into their true, authentic and highest selves. One must realize that it takes a lot of commitment and consistency and lots of emotional, work. However, healing is so powerful and once you can truly heal, you will awaken to the truth of life and its true purpose. And, let me also note, that it never ends, healing and evolving is an ongoing process.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I am a proud mom of two. I consider my two daughters to be my greatest accomplishments. Raising them has taught me so much, and my biggest hope is to be their biggest inspiration and teach them to be their most confident selves and find their own true gifts and follow their dreams. I’m passionate, creative and highly intuitive. An empath, and clairvoyant but most of all I am chosen to share how I’ve healed through so many difficult moments in my life. My dream is and always will be to help others become their highest and best selves by healing through their trauma. My dream is for us to all come together in a world where we can all be kinder and more compassionate to one another. The very most important way to accomplish this is by healing within our own selves first and ultimately, loving ourselves foremost.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

As a faithful and spiritual person, I’m fully in tune to negative forces, I like to call the “enemy”. The enemy is great at feeding our minds as well as our souls lies and negative energy. This can be in the form of negative thoughts that we believe to be true within ourselves, and ultimately self sabotage as well as forming into health related issues. In addition, it can come from others and their behaviors and actions. That being said, when I decided to make the commitment to writing this book, I was faced with so many and all of these situations.
Just to name a few of them … it took nearly 3 months to finally sit down and have my first meeting. I was thrown a multitude of health and financial challenges that delayed that first official meeting, 2 of which I nearly lost my life. In my book, I actually talk about them in more detail. Then once the book was completed, I faced more trauma. Between fraudulent people in my closest circle and opportunities that were literally stolen from me. These instances will make for another great book I can write about in the future!
However, what I want to convey here, is that it took so much resilience to overcome the enemy in all of these situations. In fact, I could not have done it alone. I owe all of the strength and determination I had to make it through it all to the highest power of all, which was and is… God, himself. My faith in the Lord was the only way I could have been blessed with the miracles I received in order to maintain that type of resilience.
When you have so much faith, the enemy can never win or prevail!

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is sharing it with others! Ultimately, I firmly believe that is the core purpose of our mission here on earth! Every single one of us is gifted and talented in “something”. Some of us may have more than others, yes… however, I am a huge believer that whatever that particular gift is that we possess, was intentionally given to us in order to inspire or help others. It does not have to be to the masses, for, I believe that every single one of us has the potential to change the world! I know that sounds crazy at first glance, but, if you think about it, one person having the capability to help or change an another, leads to that person helping and changing another…. And the list goes on and on.
It’s a ripple effect. Start with one great action every day, even as simple as sharing a kind heart to someone random can make a difference. If EVERYONE did that simple thing each day, imagine how much it can spread and change a neighborhood, a community, then a city, a state, a nation and so on.
