COMMITMENT
About a year ago, I wrote out my personal commitment to myself. It
helps me align all my decisions up against it. This is it: “I’m
committed to honoring my yes’s and no’s by treating myself good through
no critical self examination, but to treat myself with love and
understanding as I would expect someone to treat me, thus, creating a
space for expansion and abundance all around me.” You can use it or
create your own. I’m also 100% committed to sharing what I’ve learned
with anyone whose as serious about their life as I am about mine.
Please ask me about how you can be a part of the new Alphanista.com membership site to launch in June! Please subscriber at http://www.alphanista.com to stay updated.
WHO I AM
I started my website Alphanista™ several months ago. I’m a 33 year old
student, teacher, author, wife to be, marathon runner to be, daughter,
sister, friend and more. My interests include hiking, running,
swimming, and eating lots of yummy, gooey, crispy, chewy, refined, low
and high cuisine food. I’m on a continuous journey on improving my
life as I help others improve theirs. I feed off anything philosophy
driven, was almost an anthropologist, but settled for journalism. Now,
isn’t that special?

My expertise centers around alpha female qualities and bringing your leadership self forward as the driver of all aspects of your life. It's about women taking risks, walking the path less traveled, and
defining life on their own terms making new rules all the way. I provide ways women can transform and enhance where they are right now by focusing on the “alpha” or
stronger self inside of them. A membership only site provides tools on a weekly basis with how to awaken your alpha self or keep her happy.
