We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Aries Starr a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Aries, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
My personal brand is called BECOME HER. I believe it’s very important that everyone understands that they have the power to become who they desire to be. Growing up I wasn’t privileged, I came from a Middle-Class Family who did the best they could to raise me to be something Great! The environment can be a crucial part of your development and mindset. I always wanted to be around people who wanted more however that didn’t come when I wanted it to. So I took the initiative to explore books, podcasts, and speakers to gain knowledge on the things I wanted to learn more about! It’s not about where you’re from, it’s about the steps you take to move up and out of your comfort zone even when you aren’t surrounded by the people you wish you had!
The mission behind my personal brand is to help others believe that they can still “BECOME” who they desire to be!
Aries, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am Aries Starr. I am someone who has always been obsessed with growth and finding new ways to implement that in both my professional and personal life. We all have been through challenging things in life and I have learned not to attach myself to those experiences as if it defined who I was. Through my blogs and youtube channel I have created a space for people to find inspiration in becoming who they desire to be while still working on becoming better versions of themselves.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
One lesson I had to unlearn is that you can’t attach your self worth to others because what you see through your eyes will ultimately mean the most. I have always been a people pleaser growing up and would always seek validation from others and now that I am healing I realized that if I can’t be that for myself nothing else matters.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Between losing my daughter’s father this year and coming back to my hometown this was never a part of the plan. If I’m being completely honest half of the things that happened was unexpected and came full force and I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE BUT TO FACE IT.
Sometimes I think to myself about what life would’ve been if all of those things didn’t happen, then I remember that it’s all a part of the plan. NOT MY PLAN BUT GOD’S PLAN. Lately I’ve been heavy on trusting the process because from my experience every time something went wrong , God replaced it with something I couldn’t even imagine. It took me a very long time to realize that things don’t happen to you, they happen for you.
