Stories are incredibly powerful – their ability to teach, inspire, and create understanding is why we are so in love with storytelling. Most stories have a defining moment and so we’ve asked some of the most talented, insightful folks across a broad range of industries and markets to tell us about a defining moment in their story.

After losing my daughter, Hunter Grace, I knew I had to keep her memory alive, and so many others also wanted to do the same for their babies they had lost. A huge defining moment for me, and why I know I need to continue what I am doing, is when I see families finding their babies we are remembering, the tears and love you can see to have their babies remembered!

The moment that defined or changed the trajectory of my professional career was most likely when I realized that after suffering from years of abuse, then depression and anxiety, that no one was really coming to save me. I had to save myself. Of course, I had the support of my psychologist and psychiatrist but that is not the support system a person relies on when personal troubles have consumed your everyday life.

I originally started my career as a cosmetologist who specialized in natural hair and extensions. Over the years, I noticed that many of my clients were experiencing hair loss and thinning although their hair was properly taken care of. I knew it had to be something bigger than hair so I recommended that they speak with their doctor because I knew it was something going on with my clients’ internal health. When their doctors kept telling them everything looks normal, Read more>>

I would challenge that there isn’t one defining moment that can change the trajectory of one’s career or business but rather a bunch of small moments laced together. People always ask me how long it took me to write my Course? On the surface, the answer would be three months from start to finish, but if you were to see below the surface, you would see an idea germinating as far back as February 2005. Read more>>

When I working with people and healthcare you have to have patience , passion and dedication. Since working in my career with veterans I have been able to give back and serve others. One of my patients who is mute used his electric writing pad to take tell me to “get it girl “ and you got this” since we both achieved degrees in business administration and “you are just getting started” . I am striving to set a goal and achieve it with God 1st. I was able to use the same positive attitude with my modeling which I became published two times. Read more>>

Yes. It was May 2019 and my previously healthy, 9-year-old daughter became so ill that she ended up in the ICU at the local children’s hospital. It was the most terrifying time of my life. Read more>>

A definding moment for me is when I was able to see the direct impact in which I changed my first client’s life as far as health. Often times when you start a new journey you really don’t know why you are doing what you are doing…you just know you good at it… but when I was able to actually see a lifestyle change that I introduced to my client worked it was truly an definding moment for me for sure!

Rodrigo Antunes

My first contact with martial arts was at a Judo school at the age of 4 years old. On the mats, I learned my first body movements and notions of balances and agility. Growing up in Rio de Janeiro in the 80’s, it was natural to be exposed to Jiu Jitsu, due to my family relationship to the Gracie family. When I turned 8 years old, I had my first Jiu Jitsu class and after 14 years of training, learning from some of the legends of the sport, I was promoted to black belt at the age of 23 years old and opened my first school at 25 and now, at the amazing age of 46, I still train and teach on a daily basis.

He battled the disease he was meant to diagnose in the time of the Covid 19. After losing him to cancer, it changed me and altered my course of life and practice. I started to change my interaction with patients. Read more>>

Many people are not aware of my faith journey. You will hear me say a lot about how a right spirit will direct the soul and the soul will direct the flesh. And vice versa, a right flesh will direct the soul to being open to the right spirit. We can also state that if we are drinking a cup of water and we pour juice or milk or any other liquid into that water, the taste will not be the same as drinking that pure liquid not mixed with any other liquid.
