About Theresa

Hi, I’m Theresa, like you, I am a wife (of 16 years this year) and a mother (of three) and like you I also have to get kids to school in the morning, try and get some of my own work done, in-between household tasks, post office and car-license runs, groceries and cooking. Driving around to sports events and practices in the afternoon, making sure homework gets done and attempting to get the kids bathed and fed before their bed-time.

I finished high school in 1992, got a degree in Somatology and then went on to work on cruise ships where I was a crew member on Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises. I started in the spa as a facialist and then moved to the entertainment department as a social hostess. I also met my Zimbabwe husband on the ships. Upon my return, we got married and started to work as a wedding coordinator at an upmarket venue in Johannesburg, where after I started an events company .

With my dad’s passing in 2010, my husband and I inherited a medium sized electrical company that works commercially.

So at this point I was married to the love of my life, had my three kids and ran two successful companies, I also got very involved in my community, both at school and at church. But yet, I felt invisible. Unappreciated.

I was at a low point in my life. My days stretched out bleak ahead of me, just a whole lot to-do on my list. Nothing that really matters. Drive there, pay this, organise that. Nothing that filled my cup. Nothing that made me feel appreciated. Like I mattered. But if someone asked me if I was happy, I would probably have replied yes. Because that is what we are supposed to do, right? We don’t want to seem ungrateful! But I started to wonder: what happened to my sense of self?

At first I thought it was only me experiencing these feelings of bleakness, lack of joy, feeling unappreciated and exhausted most the time, I mean everybody else always look like they have it all together. I needed balance, to regain my identity. My confidence took a knock. Not all at once, but gradually, over time I became less confident in myself and my decisions, I started to second guess myself, started to over-think everything and especially with all the things going on in my country and the world today, my mindset became extremely negative. I expected the worst to happen every day, lived in a scarcity mindset that only re-enforced my negative beliefs.

I wanted to feel appreciated again and worthy, like I’m making a difference and once I started talking to some of the other women I know, moms at school, I realised that these feelings are extremely common. Almost all the women I spoke to, experienced similar feelings. We got so tied up with being good wives and raising good, well mannered, healthy children, that we lost ourselves along the way

So it didn’t matter that I was a performer extraordinaire (singer / actor on the side-line), loyal and sincere friend, honest and have a great sense of humour, I lost my confidence in myself. I lost my self-worth. I lost my identity.

Then a course on something completely unrelated (social media) crossed my path and I started seeing and hearing different things in the message that was delivered and I recognised the crossroads… and decided to take the road less travelled.

I spend countless hours, days, nights behind my computer. In a short time, I went through a phase of tremendous personal growth, so much so that friends and acquaintances started commenting on the change they saw in me, and I felt it… and it felt good!

I kept on hearing my mentor’s voice in my head “You have a purpose”, and I knew this is how I will regain my confidence: by serving others. By serving my purpose. I also realised that I have the talents and exactly the right experience to turn my mess into my message. I realised I can help women just like me to become fulfilled again. Teach them that they are truly magnificent, glorious, splendid beings, just for being born a women. That they are truly worthy of love, worthy of appreciation. That self-doubt should not hold them back. That they can again have focus and direction.

I am super passionate about these courses that I teach, the information that I share, that I recognised as my calling. I don’t want to inspire you, inspiration only last a short period of time. I want to help you to transform your life and I am committed to helping as many women as I possibly can regain their confidence and their self-worth.
