I was fighting to swim - drowning, and Yolande threw me a life jacket. She reminded me of what I could achieve with structure and support. She left me in the water and has been supporting me to swim. Adult ADHD is real, but Yolande has taught me how to thrive. She has empowered me and reminded me that my success is up to me, and if I have the will to achieve, believe, ask and receive, I will continue to thrive and excel. I am so excited!"

I am an entrepreneur with 2 adult children, running a household, considering aged parents and I'm getting a new business off the ground...so my plate is full. When I met Yolande she introduced me to her program, and how the business of my life would no longer limit me in becoming my best self. Yolande really wants to liberate people so they can live life more abundantly. Her ability to explain how our brain works and why we have certain reactions, made it easy to be mindful, gracious and thoughtful. She is a gentle big sister who is in your corner for life. I have not yet completed her course, but I can't wait to meet my best self."
