Advice from a Supermodel

I had the privilege of attending Create & Cultivate in Miami at the end of 2019. It was an incredible and empowering full day conference with female entrepreneurs, mothers, and creators. 

You can read my full recap HERE

At the conference I had the opportunity to speak 1:1 with the top CEO’s, industry leaders, and supermodels. I have been digesting and implementing much of their business advice since the conference…and you have probably seen some big shifts in my business and online presence in the past six months. 

Towards the end of the day I had an opportunity to speak with supermodel Karolina Kurkova after her keynote. We ended up discussing nutrition because that’s something we are both passionate about.

I’ll never forget what she said “in order to be good, you have to be a little bit bad” … meaning that every once in awhile you have to indulge and eat the french fries or “whatever your thing is”. 

I could not agree more! 

I firmly believe in the 80/20 rule when it comes to nutrition. Honor your body, fuel your body with the best organic foods, and know that it is okay to indulge sometimes. 

When we try to be perfect 100% of the time with our diet it sets us up for failure.

I will be touching upon this in a future blog post…

What are your thoughts about Karolina’s advice? Surprised? Let me know in the comments below.

Personally, I love that one of the top supermodel’s in the world thinks it’s okay to eat fries occasionally!! For some reason this made me feel so much better about my occasion fry indulgence. lol!

Create and Cultivate Recap

I can not believe that it has bean a WHOLE MONTH since my create and cultivate weekend in Miami. This was my first Create and Cultivate event…and I’m totally hooked! I went to the event solo, unsure what to expect but prepared for a long day. I ended up meeting some lovely ladies on the way into the event, and we ended up hanging out for most of the day …and still stay in contact! This event was definitely geared towards female entrepreneurs, female leaders, creators and those who want to empower others and share their shine … pretty much everything I stand for. I had to ability to meet some of the speakers and the founder of Create and Cultivate, Jaclyn Johnson.

It was so inspiring to be around so many women going after the same thing I am. Not once did I feel competition, jealously, or envy. Instead I felt empowered and ready! So many women are going after the same (or similar) dream I am: to create a life we love, to create a business we are so passionate about and share our journey and our shine with our greater community.

One of the highlights for me was meeting keynote speaker Karolina Kurkova and getting her nutrition advice. If you are unfamiliar with Karolina…first of all where have you been lol… check out her IG page for more info on this beautiful inspiring Mama. Karolina is a supermodel, turned Mama, turned entrepreneur. She recently co-founded Gryph & IvyRose and is about to take children wellness by storm. One of the best moments of my mini chat with this bombshell was her nutrition advice, ”in order to be good, you have to be a little bit bad”. This was in reference to her thinking that “it’s okay to eat French fries occasionally, or whatever your thing is.”

Create and Cultivate gave me the freedom to connect with other like minded women from around the country, in an open and free environment. I went to this event solo, and would do so again because it forced me to open up and make connections. The speakers were vast and varied and discussed everything from how to get a business loan, how to start your business, beauty, fashion, motherhood, self image, and much more. I would recommend this event to any women who is looking to take the next step in their life, and looking to step into their power. I already can not wait for my next Create and Cultivate event!!
