The Dating Dilemma | being single in Hawaii
“I realized dating sucks!” she explained, “It wasn’t easy to create meaningful connections and seemed superficial.”
Kendria began vlogging her experience to create a space where others can relate to her dating experiences and share their own.

A year later, during a typical self care wax session with Courtney Ro, REAL Social was born.
the vision that makes you cry
One of my favorite sayings is, “your why should make you cry”. In other words, your why (or whys) should move you to the core! Most people will get unmotivated, get discouraged, and quit their businesses because they don’t have clarity on why they are doing it in the first place.

You Only Fail When You Give Up
YouTube was initially a dating site. Fast forward to now, they're the number one online-video sharing platform estimated to reach $5.47 billion of ad revenue in 2020 alone. But what happened between then and now?
The Story Behind A doTERRA Wellness Advocate
Network Marketing has a bad reputation. It's easy to neglect the fact that there is a story behind why she started this biz. Network Marketing is a business model that relies on person-to-person sales. And most of the time, success is dependent on building a strong team. Seems innocent enough, so why the tainted reputation?
Following the Yellow Brick Road of entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a leaky bucket -- people go as quickly as they come. It's a sexy lifestyle! You control your time while all profits go in your pocket, not to wealthy executives. But it isn't easy, and the journey feels like an IRL version of the Wizard of Oz.

You know the feeling - it starts with a new and exciting idea during your morning shower “Oou! I have a brilliant business idea!” Then you fall into the Next Step Abyss, “all I need to do now is start a website. Shoot! I can’t build a website until I have a logo. Where do I even start with designing one? Maybe I’ll launch my Instagram page instead. What do I talk about?”
Finding your authenticity as a business owner
We can overthink what it means to be authentic. And my conversation with Candyce reminded me why—authenticity is speaking in your honest voice. Meaning we need to find the right balance between creating and consuming as business owners. Sharing your authentic voice is more than what you say. It's an expression of what you believe.
The difference between a hobbyist and a professional photographer
"What do you mean I can't use your photo without your consent?" We live in a world where professionals blend with hobbyists. Technology unlocks our inner artist, making it easy to snap a professional-looking photo. But there's a big difference between a hobbyist and a professional.
