Being Motherhustler

Taking life for granted was the name of the game! Finding every shortcut in life in order to take the easy way out! Lindsay Willocks is a Motherhustler, a Mom-trepreneur, Stay at Home Mama of 2 Beautiful Girls, wife to her Best Friend & above all, a Believer! Over the last 20 months she has experienced shifts in her life that have taken her somewhere she’s never dreamed possible...A Healthier Body & a Healthier Mind! She wasn't always physically unhealthy. She played collegiate volleyball at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and was in peak physical condition!  She was living a lifestyle of mindless indulgences but having the metabolism and the work ethic to stay 'Healthy'.  Unfortunately, it was only physical health and not spiritual or emotional health. Just under 2 years ago, she looked at her 2 girls and realized that she was missing out on the most important years of their lives! She decided that enough was enough! Thankfully, she was introduced to a community of people who have guided her in shifting her mindset and subsequently her priorities! She lost a whopping 53 pounds that eventually led her to find her purpose in helping others achieve youthful mental and physical wellness! Along this journey, she has also accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord & Savior! She has become a believer, been saved and baptized all within the last 6 months! She now knows her purpose is to share the light with those lost in the dark! Helping others drives her days and she wouldn't change a second of it!  She had to walk through the dark to appreciate the light!

Michelle is proud to say her sister Samantha and her co-raised 7 children between them as they navigate new business ventures, going back to school, writing a book, raising children and laughing as they redefine all that a family can be. Michelle has spent the past four years creating Changewear, learning about our bodies, how color affects 85% of our buying decisions and how giving back creates impact for all. Professionally she speaks on three different topics. Some of the titles are: Touched By The Scars - it’s about her tale of being diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer and then being upgraded stage 3A cancer after surgery. Another is titled 1x1 - She talks about her journey as an entrepreneur that has bootstrapped her company into reality. And last but not least..

Dawn Jensen-Beaudoin’s most important role in life is a single mother of three amazing children. Through so much adversity and struggles Dawn chooses to live life, not out of pain and victimhood, instead chooses to learn and thrive out of those life experiences.

Sharing to the world my journey about our transition from one house to another and the solution that we have in the interim because of the gap between selling the previous one to buying the next one. We are currently hotel living and have been here for 4 weeks during the recording of this episode. It's been challenging but never tough. I grew up sleeping on floors growing up in the Philippines so hotel living for me is a luxury. I also just turned 40 and on this episode I share what winning and truly winning means.

Lisa Waknin Murphy is a fierce woman who has overcome adversity her entire life. She’s taken these life challenges and turned them into something that is making a real difference. Her personal journey and her neverending hard work advocating for her own daughter’s recovery led her to create Silver Sands Recovery, a substance abuse treatment facility that is turning around the lives of addicts and their families by helping them in their fight against the Opioid Emergency in America. She has helped many people and their families get through the pain and hopelessness of addiction. She is known as “Mother of Recovery” because of how she looks out for everyone in her program. Lisa hailed from New York City where she started her fashion career at a very young age working for top fashion designers.  She personally sold over $250 million dollars of dresses in her fashion career.  She was at the peak of her career, doing multi-million dollar deals with all the top fashion retailers. But as Forest Gump once said, “Life is like a box of chocolates –and you never know what you’re going to get.”  She discovered her daughter was an addict, and her world was turned upside down. The best years of her life professionally were the absolute worst years of her life personally.  That’s when the Brooklyn born mother took over. Through sleepless nights, to working all day, she saw her daughter slipping before her eyes and searched endlessly for help to get her daughter back. Her experience in recovery treatment is steeped from the perspective of a parent that wants to save her kids live. That's the difference in her approach to treating addiction... It’s what she calls “The Reality Model”.  And it’s working! Lisa's founding principle is to provide a superior foundation for Long Term Sobriety. As the parent of an addict, Lisa knows firsthand the devastation addiction. She works side by side families, helping them bring the bottom up to the addict thereby getting them into treatment. Her many years of trying to help her own daughter (who’s been sober since 2015) have led Lisa to immerse herself in the field of recovery.  She’s teamed up with medical and clinical experts and adding in her own true experiences from running a successful $60M company to being the parent of an addict has given this program a unique perspective. Parents from clients are quoted, "Finally I have someone I can speak with that knows what I went through and knows what these kids need. She's a voice of reason, has compassion and cares." Lisa always makes herself available to families in need.

Happy Cinco de Mayo amigos!!! Today marks 19 years of me being an immigrant in the USA. Although it's been an amazing journey and yes, I still wouldn't trade it for anything...it's also been full of trials and tribulation. Nothing killed me so it just made me become the badass that I am now. When you are faced with adversity dance with it, acknowledge the struggle but don't allow it to anchor you down to nothing. Move. Get in motion. Write your goal even when they seem impossible because what I know now is that nothing is really impossible in this world. Everything in this world we're created to match our abilities and potential as a human being. It was all designed by something higher to make it all work and sync. So sync with it and go get it! I wish you well on this blessed Sunday and don't forget to write a review. Love you all, KM Follow Host + Founder all across Social Media @kareenmills.

Everyone has that make or break moment. That moment you either rise up or let life's choices and experiences consume you. Lance Essihos chose to rise and there was no ceiling. Experiencing lows is a normal part of life just as living through the highs. Lance began his life in a loving home in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with loving parents and family who worked hard who gave him everything he needed and then more. Life was good until it wasn't. Lance had a passion for hockey. He had been a star player who stood out with great talent; ahead of the other kids his age. He played in all the top teams in world-class tournaments. Slowly the competition caught up with him. By the age of 20, the pressure led him to look for ways to stay competitive. Steroids immediately ended his career and the devastation began. That followed with dead-end jobs, drinking, drugs and partying into a state of depression and anxiety. Lance continued the party across Europe and into Australia bar-tending in some of the best hotels and restaurants. He discovered his love of people. Socializing and taking care of them were part of his passion. He was working hard all day, partying all night and still in a very dark place. Life was a blur and he was spiraling out of control. That's when he got the call. The call that his younger brother had taken his own life and he was the one who had to tell his dad. This was rock bottom with a destructive cycle continuing at a new low. It's in these rock bottom moments that the choice occurs and Lance chose to rise. He made some positive choices and get clean and sober. This allowed him to be sharp and clear-headed perpetuating the positives. He met Tamara who supported him in every way possible. Encouraging him to live his best life. He pulled himself up and started living the life he had dreamed of, the life he was meant to live. Now, he's a positive influence on those who see adversity as a roadblock. He started the University of Adversity Podcast to share, not only his story but stories just like his. His hope is that when you are faced with a rock bottom choice you choose to rise as well. Learn more about Lance W.

Yoana came to the US with her husband in 2015 all the way from Romania, after winning the Green card lottery. She earned a BFA in Theater and Film from a very prestigious art school in Europe. She won the Green card Lottery, and it was not intentional! It happened after her husband Mihai showed his uncle how to apply for the Lottery using all of Yoana's information to practice on, as his uncle was not tech savvy. The lottery was submitted and validated and shortly after they had the lottery winning docs on their kitchen table right as they were returning from their Honeymoon one beautiful summer day in 2004. They immediately decided to take the crazy ride towards something that they never experienced before, with no fears or looking back, even though they had a brand new business in place and their married life was just starting. Also, Yoana was an already recognized actress, but the American dream won and they started preparing for the next move. In 2005, they landed straight to LA as her husband got a job offer from one of his dad's Romanian friends. LA was right on her alley as an actress, and she started working multiple gigs right away. She was Madonna's personal stand-in, worked with De Niro, Pacino, Christina Aquilera, Kumi Koda and many others. Being in LA was super cool at the time and her husband was doing really well in his job, and in 2007, she woke up one morning in their small 1 bedroom apt and told her hubby that her spirit wanted a baby. Anais was born on 2008- January 24th and pregnancy was complicated. But she is 11 years old today, healthy and amazing! Long story short, they ended up opening their own company in 2008 as brokers in transportation, their own firm that would become very successful, and Yoana stopped working as an actress as now she was a mom and the baby girl was her joy. All things were going well with the company and Anais growing beautifully but in 2010 and 2011 Yoana had 2 miscarriages- one at 3 months and other at 5 months. They were devastated and decided they wanted to go away for one year, thus renting their newly purchased home, packing their car and leaving to unknown grounds in their car, with some clothes and nothing else. It was the only way she was going to be able to go through the emotional challenges that they were facing. After 2 months, they ended up settling in the Raleigh area. Their brokerage company started losing money as the recession was just hitting their business as well and her husband decided to sell it. Being left with barely anything in their savings after purchasing a home in NC as well, she started studying real estate. Why real estate? Because as they were house hunting, she was so passionate that her agent gave her Gary Keller's "The Millionaire real estate agent" book and in 2012 Dec- I started working as a realtor and never moved back to LA. Yoana ended up becoming one of the Top brokers in the Raleigh area and years later in 2014 had her baby boy- Phoenix. Now she is building her business and growing as we speak.

Local networking is one of my favorite topics to discuss. I've been doing it for the last 15 years. The first 4 years of my local networking journey was very sloppy. But the last 4 have been fulfilling, meaningful and productive. I've learned a thing or two about how to effectively network. I tracked ratios and measure lag effects. I've also measure the average time of when someone comes running to me for the solution I have educated them with when they didn't actually need the service. Because networking is effective I want to share some of my own secret sauce when it comes to local networking. Enjoy this episode and YES, local networking works magic!!

I told myself to be calm. Take a deep breath and keep connected to my core and keep connecting to the audience. It wasn't easy. It was one of the toughest speech I ever had to do because most of it became impromptu. But it came out beautifully and it was an amazing experience.

Melodie Thurman is a native Portland resident.  Born and raised on a farm outside of Portland, Melodie was a tough girl who could keep up with the boys, and bucked her share fair of hay, chased cows, and assisted in all manner of farm chores. Melodie’s life changed between the ages of four and five when she became the victim of sexual abuse that lasted for six long years. Once free, Melodie has fought to change the conversation.  She knew from her own experience that there is no point in trying to understand or move past sexual abuse.  It isn’t something she ever wants to understand. The abuse that she lived through is something she will keep front and center, as a constant reminder to never stop fighting for those who can’t, speaking for the voiceless, and encouraging those who have been affected by sexual abuse to accept who they are in spite of it.   Melodie just finished her first book on changing the conversation around sexual abuse and has dedicated her life to continuing to change the conversation around the world.  Melodie believes that if we are ever going to see things change, the survivors have to stand up and speak out. Melodie’s book title was born from all her experiences. “All the things I wish you never said. ~ a survivor's guide to talking about sexual abuse.” Melodie found that the more she talked about sexual abuse the more she realized how large the gap is between survivors and those who have not experienced it personally.  She realized how much the survivors need those on the other side and how, with a little guidance, those very people can actually help to bring about healing and acceptance.

Welcome to the last part of my own Motherhustler story! It has been fun sharing my journey to all of you and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm amazed by all your response and feedback about my life story. I'm glad it's inspiring you and giving you permission to take massive action regardless of what it is you've been aspiring to do. Let's talk about part 6 of my story. So far, the last part of my lifetime, for now. I will not stop writing my own story and making it happen. I made a post today about the kind of work I am doing now is work that will live on beyond my lifetime. It's the kind of work that will only get started when I'm gone. A work that's barely scratching the surface when I die. My lifetime will merely be the foundation of this work because this work is larger than life itself! Let's talk about my mid-life crisis at 35 years old. Most of my friends are at least 10 years older than me as I became a professional. I knew that if I wanted wisdom, I couldn't get it from the people my age or the people younger than me. I gravitated towards them because they I was attracted to their maturity and wisdom. One day some of them we're reading the book Half Time by Bob Buford. They never suggested it but I was like I want to read it. They said it's for people who are going through mid-life crisis. Regardless, I grabbed the book anyways and what I learned was astounding. Listen to this episode because on this episode, I share what I learned from that book. I love you Motherhustler Nation!

Welcome to my 4th decade friends! I am slicing my 4th decade into 2 parts just like I did the 3rd decade. The stories I have to tell during this 4th decade is rich in details and I want to be sure to tell it all for you. I promise, I was able to hold down my emotions and didn't cry like I have in the past solo episodes telling my story. It feels great to cry though because as you know it's not a sad one, it's a healing one. On this episode I share my journey from giving birth to an amazing boy, Taylor Mills who was 3 months preemie and going through a traumatic experience with birthing both of my boys. Both my boys are amazing humans but gosh darn they are tough cookies when they both came out with a big bang into this planet! On this episode as well, I share the most amazing trip I have ever taken to this day, my soul searching trip to Southeast Asia in the summer of 2013 where I literally got to know me, who I am and who I wanted to become. I fell in love with myself again during this soul searching trip. Enjoy this episode Mamasitas! Follow Host + Founder all across Social Media @kareenmills.

Welcome to the 2nd decade of my life. Growing up with domestic violence as a young little girl I wanted to fix everything for my Mother but I was powerless. When I became a teenager, I began to have a voice and I used it to try and fix everything my Mother was going through. I was still powerless but I've never ever felt even less power when I realized I couldn't convince my mother to leave my Dad. That was when I began to resent my Mom. I couldn't quite get it why she was putting up with him after all these years. I was heartbroken that my own Mother wouldn't listen to my voice. I hope you enjoy this episode about my 2nd decade because I think this was when I truly began building my own strength enhance by my first decade and every decade it stacked up.

Martial Arts has been apart of Michelle Waterson aka Karate Hottie’s life for as long as she can remember. She has an older brother who she always desperately wanted to be like so when he joined the local Karate School, she naturally followed in his footsteps. The minute she got a taste of competition she was hooked. Her passion for Martial Arts followed her through her High School years and gave her the foundation to push off in times of self-doubt and sabotage. After graduating High School she went off to College and took a break from training. She wasn’t happy and slowly started to lose herself. On a trip to Thailand, she decided to train at a local Muay Thai Gym. It felt as if the Universe smacked her in the face, and told her to wake up. She realized then, that she had strayed from what she was destined to do. Martial Arts were her life. It ran through her veins and set her soul on fire. Martial Arts were going to be her career, and Jackson Wink MMA became her new University. She fought in the amateur circuit for a couple of years and then decided to jump into the Pro world when she was 21. She has been fighting professional ever since then! She met her husband, Joshua Gomez, during her career. He is her other half and she truly doesn’t know where she would be without him. At what she thought was the height of her career, she found out that she was pregnant. Her career was put on hold and she had no idea what was going to happen to it. Luckily because of the belief her husband and coaches had in her, she was able to continue my fighting journey. Her beautiful daughter Araya was born and 10 months later, she took her first fight back as a mother!!! (Hells to Yeah!!!) She went on to become the Atom weight champion for Invicta FC, received a performance of the night headlining for the UFC, made the cover of ESPN’s body issue, and have fought some of the baddest women on the planet. In-between all the highs are of course the inevitable lows: breaking her hand three times within a year and a half span, going on a two-fight losing streak and struggling with family issues that were far more important than her fighting career. She fights because she loves it! She wouldn’t change it for the world. It has made her who she is today. It has taught her so much... both in and outside of the Octagon. Martial Arts has allowed her to forever be a student and she will forever be grateful for the lessons she’s learned along the way. She looks forward to the lessons the future holds and she’s excited to continue her journey in the pursuit of greatness. One of her biggest goals is to be the first mom who wins a UFC title belt. Her next fight is on March 30, 2019 in Philadelphia!

It's time for all of you to hear the details of my story. This should be fun, emotional and roller coaster but I'm super excited for all of you to hear my story. This first part of my story is all about my childhood, my first decade. Growing up watching my mom and dad wrestle and fight (domestic violence) was crazy to watch as a 6-year old child. As a 6-year old little girl I wanted to fix everything for my Mama but I knew I couldn't. I only hoped I could one day. As we got older, we got immuned to the crazy life we live and we learned how to tune out. I remember as a 9-year old girl dreaming about America and coming over here. Dreaming about America was my escape. Imagining Disneyland, the wide American coast and beaches, the high rises, the amazing freeways. America was something so unreachable for me as a child but that thought never stopped me from dreaming about it because it was always my escape. I hope you enjoy my journey. This is 1 of 4 parts.

I am really enjoying this solo episodes. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I do! Often I am in the car between 15-20 minutes with my kids on the way to school and often mornings are stressful for Motherhustlers and frustrations can easily creep into the family unit and it becomes a lose-lose-lose situation when Mom is on the lose with frustrations. It takes practice to switch from frustrations to coaching with your kids. Our kids truly want to be treated like adults. Not like small people. I remembered when people treated me like a child when I was a child it didn't sit well with me. When I have a dialogue with my kids every single one of us wins. Find a win-win-win strategy when teaching or coaching your kids. Frustrations lead to a bad environment for them. Trust me I've been there as a child and I've done it to my kids as a Mom. As mothers we are doing our best, I know. With practice, we can always do better. Stay positive Mamas and enlighten your kids and brighten their days with your great wisdom! I know you have it in you! Follow Host + Founder all across Social Media @kareenmills.

This year I turn 40 and as you all know we think 40 is old when you're 20 but once you hit 40 you look at 80 and you freak out because when 20 was half of 40 it wasn't such a big deal but when you turn 40 and realize that's half of 80 it freaks you out, just for a minute and then I just went LOL and said I'm ready! I'm really excited to turn 40 this year and one of the things I'm changing in my life is to be more present than I already am including the practices I do at airports while traveling. Recently I visited my Mom and Sister in Los Angeles and I read a lot. I unplugged a lot off electronics and just dove deep into reading. The airport can be very boring when you're traveling so I want to share some of the tips I have just in this most recent travel to Los Angeles. Of course there is no one way of doing this. I think in this travel as short as it was, I learned so much by making a firm decision to just unplug and be very intentional about it this time. Enjoy this episode Motherhustlers!

Last year, 2018 I committed to all of you one episode per week and it was tough! There's so much work behind the scene that needs to be done to make just one episode happen. I know I could do it but there were times where I didn't feel like doing it. It was when I knew I had to do because this podcast isn't about me. It's about holding space for you, my tribe, Motherhustler Nation. I am committing to 2 episodes for 2019!! Yep, you heard it right, 2! As if one wasn't tough enough I am committing to two!
