INTRODUCING: MOTHERPRENEURS! Who?

After immigrating to Canada, my 7th country of choice to live in, I hit premenopausal midlife crises! Oh bummer!
If you are a man reading this you may have no clue what I am talking about! 
If you are a woman you may have a clue!

You may want to pour yourself a coffee, this is going to be good...




The bad news?
For approximately one full year I drove The Best Man of All (aka husband) crazy!!! 
The  good news?
I am back, stronger, better and more focused than ever!
What happened?
Thanks to hormonal overload I wrote a book. 
Yes, a real one! Not "I am contributing a chapter to a book"...kinda writing.
It's called "My Strawberry Lounge Story" How I got over my Fears, dumped my xcuses and Started the business of my Dreams, The Motherpreneur Way!
Why?
Because I always wanted to! It's a great book, full of tips, inspiration and super helpful if you want to start your own coffee shop business. 

Premenopausal midlife crises lets your brain go into overdrive. It makes you come up with silly ideas and fancy words, like
starting your own You Tube Channel 'cause you always wanted to host an entertainment show on TV- (and you need to start somewhere)
or coming up with terms like 
MOTHERPRENEUR 
and a tag line that reads,
Kiss Your Excuses Goodbye!

And why am I telling you all this?
It's a female trait, I like to share, to talk.
I wanted you to know,
being confused once in a while is OK!
No knowing which direction to take is OK!
Being lost is OK!
It can happen to all of us, regardless of who we are, where we live or how old we are!

What's next?
The future looks
Fancy? Totally! 
Creative? You bet!
Ready for action? Each and every day!
The mission: To inspire, empower and entertain! 

As i said, thanks to my adventure into menopausal overdrive I gave birth to the term The Motherpreneur!

So, what is a Motherpreneur exactly?

Motherpreneurs are

          happy, independent thinking women!



We know it's possible to combine motherhood with our personal, big,fat or small dreams!Most of us are still working on it, but we are well on our way!We are a piece of art, we are our own experiment!We know how to love, to laugh, to hug, to cry, to be brave, to take a step back and always moving forward!

We are not holding ourselves back!
We dance' cause nobody is watching (ha, everybody is checking their phones)!
We make a splash if,  and whenever we want to!

We don't need a facelift - we don't need botox!We don't need fancy clothes ' cause our heart is beautiful and with our smile, energy and contagious positive attitude we are always well dressed- if not over dressed! We come in all different shapes, forms and sizes! Each of us is unique and special (like the rest of the world)! We are uniquely equipped with our own special gift (like the rest of the world)!We are daughters, sisters, mothers, aunties, grandmas, wives, girl-friend, lovers, neighbours, role models! We worked hard finding out who we are and what we want!Motherpreneurs are YES girls!We know the difference between a YES that leads to more fun and opportunities in our life and a YES that causes stress, more work and being taking advantage off! Motherpreneurs are emotional stable women!We love to help and support each other but we don't follow blindly a call that promises happiness, fulfillment, riches!We are our own inspiration!We set an example to our children!We are more than just mothers!We are an inspiration!To ourselves, to our family and to the world!At the end of the day we know we need to walk the road alone- and we are strong in the knowledge we are not alone!

We are all in this journey together!

Welcome to planet Motherpreneur!

Are you a Motherpreneur?
Not a mother, don't stress!
You can be all of the above without having to have children! 


Did I forget something? Please shoot- I am honoured to add your suggestions!

BECOME your own INSPIRATION during ADVENTURE DAY




You have decided to change your life! 
You found your passion! 
You found your purpose! 
You know what you want! 
You worked hard on finding out what that is! 
You feel inspired to start! But then - self doubt sets in!
You set the intention to follow your heart. But then…is this really realistic? 
This isn’t the person you really are — or the person you want to be. 
Living with dreams, desires, making excuses why not to! 
You are capable of more.
You can change your life, one baby step at a time- or with a huge bang! The choice is yours! You can get through the little voices in your  head! 
As a human being you can become unstoppable! We can follow our small, or big fat dreams!

Adventure Day can help!

What is it?
ADVENTURE DAY is a day for women and men who say things like

 “I am ready to make a change, I just need a bit more motivation” or
 I know I can do this (whatever it is you are planning on doing), but I want to feel totally and utterly excited about it!
I want more than just visualizing my outcome! Oh.....I don't know what I want! I just want something different than just writing down my goals, intentions and plans of action!" 

is also for the  person who doesn't care about all the above! It is for the person who is looking for a fun, adventurous, interactive day out away from the same-old-same-old, in the company of the great outdoors and new friends!

When is it?
Sunday, August 30, 2015!
9.30 - 4.30pm in Maple Ridge at Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Center!


What does the day include?
 A mini workshop on how to kiss our excuses goodbye with the most logical, actionable steps- ever!


A picnic lunch by the lake!

Three to four activities (depending on our group size) that make you realize "Gosh, these excuses I come up with are totally irrelevant!"

My book:
 "The Strawberry Lounge Story, How I got over my Fears, Dumped m Excuses and started the Business of my Dreams, the Motherpreneur Way!"

Access to the private grounds of Loon Lake!

Facilitation by the best adventure and personal development company in The Lower Mainland, Pinnacle Pursuits. 



Pinnacle Pursuits owner, 
Jono Wilcocks, is my partner in 
adventure during the day! Not only is he highly experienced, he is super fun too! 


Why have I created ADVENTURE DAY?
After immigrating to six different countries, travelling the world, written my book and pursuit my life dreams more than three times by now (fitness instructor on two continents, three countries, coffee shop owner and now web show presenter of Motherpreneur TV), I've identified  common excuses that stop people from living their small, or big fat dreams!. Even if they want to. Very badly.

Here are the most common ones
1.  I am holding on to what I have and what I know! It feels safe!
2. This is only a wonderful dream! This is too big and too far away. I have no clue where to start!
3. I am so afraid to fail, to embarrass myself!


What activities are we going to do?

We have several options, like the low and high ropes course, canoeing, rapelling or board breaking! Let us surprise you! 



What should I bring?

Apart from an open mind to experience something new and exciting-
a water bottle
proper outdoor shoes with a good grip,
sun lotion,
sun hat,
pen and paper,
your towel and your bathing suit (the water is crystal clear, refreshing and feels ohh so good! Don't worry, this isn't part of our day. Going swimming is totally up to you)!
                        
How much?
$160.00 per ticket!

I hope you can join us!
