    • “Sonny and Cher variety show”

  • Co-founder of Sherpa Press

  • Come from a long line of entrepreneurs and people who had to create their lives without a blueprint

  • Her parents are from a rural part of The Philippines, where they didn’t have a lot of help

  • If it doesn’t bring you joy, you probably shouldn’t do it

  • Follow your inner compass

  • Her family moved here when she was ten, and her mom was a single mom with $10 to their name

  • America is still the land of opportunity

  • Six of them lived in a small room until she was 17, and her mom got on her feet

  • Her grandmother was a shoe merchant who raised ten siblings and six kids of her own and always wanted to come to America

  • “I have it good. We don’t get hit by typhoons. We have electricity. We have structure. I had to honor my grandmother.”

  • Remember that you are part of a bigger picture, so play big

  • She didn’t have mentors or other help

  • Whatever you fight gets stronger, so she didn’t fight the fear and despair, she felt it and traced it

  • Don’t fall into the self-judgment

  • What happens in your head is much worse than the actual experience

  • Failure doesn’t mean you’re off course. It’s part of the course.

  • She was isolated as a kid in The Philippines, and she didn’t buy into the stories of others.

  • “I didn’t know I was poor.”

  • Her aunt paid for her and her siblings to go to a nice school.

  • Her mom wouldn’t let her socialize with her friends until they were leaving, and she saw how wealthy they all were.

  • Growth is awesome

  • Most people don’t realize they’re in the “maintenance phase”

  • We’re infinite beings and can create anything

  • Had two jobs in college and three during breaks (she’d work all night)

  • One offered her a job, but she couldn’t do it once it was an obligation and full time so she left after a year

  • She knew she was “incubating”

  • People communicate louder with what they don’t say

  • She loves amplifying people

  • She’s a big reader (used to read up to 1,200 books a year…now just maybe 100 per year)

  • This led to Sherpa Press

  • She listens to her intuition

  • A lot of “how-tos” will work but listen to your intuition

  • Conferences are like playing slots. Once you’re on a winning streak…STOP!

  • We’re spiritual beings in a material world
