What is your background story? Give us a detailed background story that got you to where you are right now.
During my teen years, I struggled like the typical teenager with self-identity and worth. I thought of myself as not being good enough to be someone important in life or to offer anything of value to others. I quickly started to doubt my existence in this world. My thinking had an impact on my decisions in life. I used to compare myself to others thinking if I only had their gift, talent, abilities then I could bring something to the table. I quickly learned that I was stuck with Me for all my life and I needed to be okay with that!
During my years in college, I wanted to start my own business. I tried every business opportunity that came my way no matter the objectives. I had no stand in what I was aiming to represent in life and was lost! Then I started my life in Corporate America and immediately became harder on myself because I felt so devalued and minimized. In every job that I had, I felt intimidated to take on new projects, give presentations, or lead others. I kept allowing outside influences in the workplace to define who I was and what my abilities were. I did not want to be rejected so I would go with the flow. After several jobs and setbacks of business opportunities, I realized that I did not define my life’s mission.
Therefore, I would accept anything that came my way instead of taking a closer look to see if it fits who I am and what I stand for.
Going along with the flow was not what I wanted to stand for. Then one day during my time at work, my thinking changed and I started to see myself as a person that can create the change by simply being myself and being a change agent in everything I do. I can bring positive change to the world and get out of my comfort zone to help others have that defining moment as well! We are created for a purpose, for a time to be ourselves and contribute to this world using our gifts, talents, and abilities.
So from that perspective, I created a simple T-Shirt that stated, I am Good Enough! I developed it with the idea that sometimes staring at a T-shirt that has a statement is worth more than speaking it out loud. I used to be a shy person and now I have developed a confidence that allows me to use my talents to be expressive in creative ways. Then Paula O! Store was birthed out of frustration of how the world has cookie-cutter standards on who a person should be! The blog was created to offer a place of motivation, learning, and community. My why is to help others not feel outcast but to be themselves and let their talents display unashamed!
Today, I am a people-connection machine. My energy and personality draw people and I love meeting new people. My friends always tell me that I should be a motivational speaker because of my animated personality and the advice that I give them. I believe this is a hidden gift that I accidentally discovered when placed in platforms where I had the opportunity to communicate to the masses.
