My former spouse and I settled our divorce yesterday. There are details and final paperwork—but it’s done. I am no longer married. I also had to let go of amazing people. I am retiring Defy Impossible. When I said it was the end of an era, I meant it. I am starting over. Not from the ground up. No. On the…Read More
This is going to sound crazy, but it’s true: When I was on the streets, my best friends were not people. They were books. Reading allowed me the chance to transport myself into different worlds. And they were safe. Reliable. My constant companions. It might sound weird, but I am still very closely emotionally bonded to my books … even more so than people, sometimes. And so I carried my…Read More
I’m about to move!! Sunny San Diego is about to be my new home, and I confess … as excited as I am for my new beginning, I have been in denial. I’ve been busy—busy doing all the things required for a big, life-changing move. I’ve been so caught up in getting everything in order, that I haven’t been able to just BE with the fact that this is a TOTAL life change. So all of the sudden…Read More
We're breathing fire in my new Facebook community, y’all. O-M-God. I'm in love!! I love my dragons. I love my dragons. I love my dragons! We have a whole community of them now (over 300 people joined with ZERO marketing), and they are HUNGRY. There's a fierceness about the people who are attracted to Breathe Fire (that’s the name of this group). These are successful, conscious entrepreneur…Read More
When a woman speaks her truth, she breathes fire. A fire that burns down the lies Scorches through façades and Lights up the dark nights living in her soul. When a woman speaks her truth She b$tch slaps shame, regret, and self-sacrifice. Her tongue becomes a flame. Her voice, gasoline. She spits truth like red-hot embers burning down Generations of "making it work," "Making do," and "overc…Read More
I’m excited. And a bit nervous. Everyone knows me as Doctor Venus, the Millionaire Mentor. And if you’ve been following my blog, you know I’ve been struggling with what to call myself, ever since the emergency hysterectomy turned my world upside down. I'm starting fresh. I'm starting new. I'm starting from a whole different place. I’m starting over. I have a new brand—a new direc…Read More
THIS is a time of new beginnings! In just 4 weeks, I’m moving to sunny, beautiful San Diego! Dallas has been my home for 15 years, but it wasn’t the city I chose. I came here because of work … not because it called to my heart. But San Diego is my choice! And I’m SO excited. I’m going to give you a “virtual” tour of my new condo on the 29th floor. As you come in the front doo…Read More
I'm thinking about straight shaving my head. Just … skew it. Cut it off. I am. I am. I am. I am. Why not? What would it be like to be totally bald? To just get rid of it? What might it be like to do something as drastic to my hair as the doctors did to my body? Think about it: as women, we wrap a lot of our identity into our hair. Right? I mean, I LOVE my hair. But changing it now feels like a n…Read More
So you know I’m deeply into personal development, right? As my body heals, I’m working on healing the rest of me, too. Last year, right before everything hit the fan with my emergency hysterectomy, some things came up for me around my father. Now, let me go back for a minute, since I know there’s new people coming to my blog now who are still getting to know me. First and foremost, I am stre…Read More
For the first time in a long time, today was a good day! I am SO in my feminine energy. I did my hair, and I love it! The outfit I wore was beautiful. (I mean, I looked GOOD, y’all.) My videographer came by so we could shoot some content videos, and it really gave me a boost. I got more flowers, chocolates, and love notes. One of my clients called me, and it was great clowning around with her. I…Read More
