Today we’d like to introduce you to Serena Nicole Rudisel

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?

I am Serena Nicole- an influencer, founder and model based in NYC. Passionate about holistic wellness, I’ve spent the past 5 years empowering countless individuals to prioritize feeling good. I dream of a world where we fulfill our own potential and also inspire others to do the same. I love to share my life and things that feel good through my personal brand, while I create things that feel good through my holistic wellness business. I channel my power to create a world where you can care for their mind, body and soul, because you deserve to feel good.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?

It’s been an interesting road. From college into “adulthood” I got a job, as people usually do- to be able to live comfortably, expand my mind, grow my skills, etc. Then as I got into corporate life- it was just that, very corporate, with rules, regulations, and things that seemed to have a very planned trajectory for growth. But imagine being a creative and being in this world, at times its nice because you know what to expect and your able to measure your success, but theres also some things that are not quantitative. I was beginning to dream bigger and trying to fit the amount of energy I could give to those dreams into the time after work and before sleeping had me on a very interesting schedule. I felt like the brands I was developing and the content I was creating didn’t go too far in terms of digging deeper into my mission and tapping into my purpose. After about 6 years in this world, doing things to address any struggles I was feeling, I soon decided to feel my job- when it felt right for me. I saved up thank GOD, because everything I do, I fund myself, with some help from family and friends and I’ve been off doing everything self-employed since! Now I don’t necessarily dig into my struggles, but I look at them as places I want to grow. And for all the dreams I want to bring to fruition I bring them to God instead of trying to address them all myself like I have in the past, and I’ve been feeling better and doing better than I ever have been.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?

I am an influencer, founder and model. As an influencer, on my platform @iamserenanicole_ I am known for feeling good living my dreams- I mainly share wellness and my lifestyle. I have a series called “Feeling good in…”, which is a series where I prioritize feeling good in/and outside NYC. I love to show my audience the different things I know, and discover about wellness and how these things manifest in the way I live my life. As a founder, my holistic wellness business is Serena Nicole Holistics I have 3 brands, Serena Nicole Skincare a skincare brand, Energy over Everything Podcast a spiritual podcast, and Flow Authentic Yoga where I am currently training to become a yoga teacher. My business helps me create things that feel good because I believe you deserve to feel good. I’ve been nourishing the brands within my business for 6 years, and I look forward to becoming a certified yoga teacher and more. As a model, this is a new passion I’ve been putting energy towards for the past 6 months- I want to represent brands I am aligned with and grow my love for fashion. What sets me apart is my energy, I’m unique, and what I bring to the table is something people haven’t seen before. I have a genuine passion for everything I do, I’ve done the research, and give my dreams up to God. I love myself, and I let that love illuminate everything that comes from me.

Any big plans?

In the future- I look forward to all of my brands growing, my community growing, and being able to make bigger and bigger impacts. I want to partner with and work with so many amazing brands, and be known as a very well known wellness and lifestyle influencer, model and founder. I want my holistic wellness business to have a wellness studio that can serve as a meeting ground for my community and additionally serve as a place for other wellness businesses to grow. As a model I want to work with some of the biggest fashion brands, and all around amazing brands doing great things. All of this I pray for in alignment with God and his will for me.
