When I worked for a large company as a production manager, I often faced stressful situations. At times, the workload, production problems and personnel issues were overwhelming. Every day I faced challenges that were seemingly way over my head. But as a Positive Energy Woman, I knew I had the tools to power through and overcome or succeed with every situation. One of my most empowering tools was, and still is, starting the day with Affirmative Prayer. This one practice helped me face everyday with confidence, optimism, love and inner-peace.

Rise of Venus comes at a good time for women. During this era of the Me Too and Times Up Movements, women are becoming stronger, courageous and more demanding of respect. They feel empowered through sisterhood and the support of families, colleagues, even total strangers

Rise of Venus focuses on a vitally important aspect of women’s empowerment – spirituality. Particularly women’s spirituality. Now I believe, in general, spirituality is a source of strength, inspiration and self-love. Yet women’s spirituality provides more female-focused form of connection with the Divine.
