Who I am in the world:

I am a storyteller and woman of the world. Most at home in the questions, I’m always curiously observing inner and outer worlds to tell the stories that weave them together. 

Having grown up in New York as a Chinese-American-Brazilian to immigrant parents, I am no stranger to diversity and that feeling of never quite belonging anywhere, yet feeling at home everywhere. That’s probably why at heart, I feel like an “anthropologist of why.” Why is the world like this, and how can I shift humanity’s story from separation to integration?  

My love for the multicultural is probably why I’ve traveled to 20+ countries and played translator in all of my life’s work — whether it’s hosting world-shifting podcast conversations with leaders in the sustainability + social justice space, or currently changing the conversations with a brand, content and human development consulta...

   This is who I am in the world…. I am a seer, a way-shower, a sex doula, a queer mother, a First Nations Two Spirit, a dreamer, a storyteller, an artist. I am Love. I am the Erotic Mother.

This is the story that I want rewritten for women….. I intend to create a ripple effect of freedom, prosperity, pleasure and self-expression. I desire to rewrite the story of shame and inferiority that has been fed to women for generations, and create a story of empowered self-expression and liberated ability to create prosperity and freedom. 

  This is the story that I next want to write for myself…. I am breaking generational cycles of abuse, deceit and victimhood. I am creating a legacy of a return to our birthrights - pleasure, freedom, self-experience and wealth. I am returning to...

1. Who are you in the world?

I am a 75 year old wife with 55 years of marriage under my belt, and a mother to three beautiful children who are now in the 40’s and 50’s.  Naturally being a loving and caring individual, raising my family came very easy and most enjoyable for me.  I did work at several different positions throughout the raising of my children, but always with the priority of family first! Thus, to this day, I am completely satisfied with my role in this world, deriving much pleasure from what I have accomplished as a wife and mother.  

2. What is the story to be rewritten for women

Women in my day married young, mainly in their 20’s. Our main role in life was to marry and bear children.  As women, we were more subservient to our husbands and mostly stay at home moms to care for the children.  This was the acceptable way of life at the time, and we, as women, did our best to be goo...

Hi, my name is Kadek. I am the second child and I would like to tell you a little about my family. 

I was born into a broken family. My mother left me and my brother when my brother and I were very small. My mother didn't leave because she wanted to, or because she remarried, she left because she could not bear the burdens of my father. She has since died.

My father was a gambler, and he was temperamental. He sold the rice fields that he inherited from his parents so that he could gamble. He would not return home while he still had money to gamble, while his family borrowed money to eat. 

Once the money ran out and my father came home, he would get angry at my mother. My mother then left and returned to her parents' house in a seriously ill condition. My mother was very stressed thinking about me and my brother when she left and my world was destroyed. I was seven years old and it was the sickest I ever felt. In Bali, when a woman le...

This is who I am in the world:

I am a Creative Arts Therapist, Youth worker, peace maker, listener and more recently, a mother to a little boy.

I’ve spent the past 18 years facilitating workshops, weekends away, and individual experiences for people to discover more of who they are in the world, find their unique voice and to feel empowered in expressing themselves and reaching their full potential.

The last two years I have been dedicating my time to learning everything I can about raising tiny humans in the most loving, balanced and trauma informed way, drawing from aware parenting, attachment parenting, gentle parenting and understanding my own unconscious conditioning so that I can break any generational cycles of parenting that do not resonate for me. I also am learning to turn these approaches towards myself, knowing that I am not going to be perfect and I am doing my best which is enough!

This is who I am in the world:

I am first and foremost a messenger. I always made my frame that love is the master and I’m it’s student. I try to carry myself each day in a way that that is a reminder that I’m not done and I do not have the answers. I am constantly learning and in a state of humility. I am an eternal student. Love continuously initiates me and it takes me outside my own ideas of who I should be. It allows me to be flexible and to breathe it and not be so attached to who I should be.

My vision has become other people’s vision, through Love Out Loud. It is insane. The community make it their own and I constantly learn through them. I’m not the only one who created it and so I also get to be a part of it.

It can be very easy to fall into significance and power. Power chooses us, it’s not something that we choose, yet we are responsible for it in our pursuit. We all seek to belong to something bigger and to be leader...

Who I am in the world…

In the world I’m known as a woman who loves what she does and does what she loves. 

Most people know me as Raluca the Graphic Designer, mostly because I’ve been doing it for more than 17 years and it’s also the only job I ever had. 

I started working at 18 in a factory with no heat in the middle of winter, with a lousy paycheck doing what I thought graphic design was. It was one side of graphic design but not the side that would truly fulfill my creativity. After 3 months at that company I got fired because of lack of communication on a project. But that didn’t stop me from becoming the designer I knew I could be. (An award winning graphic designer, might I add.) 

I applied for other jobs and after moving from one company to another, 6 years ago I took a leap of faith, quit my 9 to 5 and became a freelancer. And it was the best decision ever.

I love being a graphic designe...

This is who I am in the world:

Because of words spoken to me by males in my life, except my grandfather, I truly believed from a very early age, until I was in my late forties, that I was a useless human being, not worthy of anything or anyone. I was too ugly to be loved and had a totally worthless brain. I learned not to speak, not to have a voice. I learned not to display any emotion; I had become void of all feelings losing the ability to shed a tear. I was a faceless, useless, emotionally void human being. For a long time I kept surrounding myself with these people, continuing the negative pattern over and over and I continued my course of emotional destruction.

To this day I struggle with accepting praise, not always knowing how to respond, or if I even should respond or if I should trust the person giving the praise. I work on this every day through meditation. ...
