Toni’s Notes: Storytelling is the way we connect at the heart! always dreamed and day-dreamed about a better world for all women's self-empowerment coach for over three decades My business didn't start off as a business, but rather a quest to find self-worth. I was abandoned by my mother at nine months of age and raised by a very kind grandmother. Though my grandmother loved me very much and took good care of me, every day of my childhood I wondered where my mother was and why she had no contact with me. This caused me great suffering and confusion. So throughout my teens and early 20s I sought out counseling and spirituality to provide some answers so that I could begin to feel worthy. That quest continued and led me to find an extraordinary life coach. I fell so in love with the process of life coaching that I became a master certified coach myself. Choosing women to be my clients worked beautifully. Through their stories and then helping them I continued to grow in my own self-worth and confidence. I came to understand the tremendous value in being of service to others. Serving others balanced with true self-care is a beautiful gift to offer the world. collaboration is queen! New World Women, which is taking the world by storm! New World Women is an online, on-demand academy for women taught by teachers we call Luminaries. We have designed NWW so that women are financially rewarded for practicing self-care, helping others, learning new things and staying inspired.
