2020 THE POWER OF TWO

PUBLISHER'S NOTE Number 2 is usually associated with harmony, balance, consideration and love. As the most feminine among all numbers, the 2 is also the most underestimated -- at least, when it comes to power and strength. After all, she is almost always gentle, tactful, diplomatic, forgiving and understanding. Certainly, she likes to keep the peace and will avoid confrontations as much as possible. Of course, symbolism of number 2 is also related to responsibility and hard work. It means that you have to work hard in order to achieve your own goals. Number 2 also encourages you to be cooperative and to be ready to learn from other people. This is the reason why number 2 is related to love. There are many other numerology facts about number 2. First of all we have to say that this number is a symbol of duality, which means male and female, positive and negative, black and white, etc. If 2 is your number in numerology, then you must have a lot of positive traits, such as kindness, teamwork, sensitivity, harmony, intuition, co-operation, decisiveness, consideration and many others.

A conversation with

CHI C

MARCO & MIGUEL PERALTA

The most dynamic duo Marco & Miguel Peralta, “The Miami Real Estate Twins” are passionate about selling and investing in Real Estate. Their expertise in Marketing - Advertising - Film - Financing - and International Business strategies, give the Peralta brothers an advantage on how to list and sell your property.

he Peralta Brothers are pioneers of real estate web technology, establishing today’s seamless ways to search for property in Miami and the beaches. Today they have set high marketing standards in the real estate industry and have created over 200 brands for realtor associates and agencies in South Florida. Why did you choose real estate as a career? We chose real estate because we love helping people in making the most important investments in their lives. We like to educate people because we have learned the hard way and honestly we wouldn’t like to see other walk the same path we did. Investing in Miami Real Estate can be tricky because of the natural highs and lows so we now serve as consultants to our clients and not only sales people. Real estate is the biggest industry in South Florida, it is hard to keep up with the constant growth. We believe this is one of the main reasons we wanted to be involved, because we wanted to be part of the change in Miami but most importantly we wanted to contribute with its expansion in a positive way. As Twins, what do you like the most about working together? We complement each other really well. We are like the Yin Yang, very different but perfectly aligned in everything we do. We like to always be available for our clients so if one of us is busy, the other one is always ready to take care of any situation. A big advantage is that we can be in two places at the same time, which makes our transactions happen really fast, because while one of us is dealing with one part of the deal, the other one is doing simultaneously something else. We simply work more effectively and faster to close the transaction than a one person show. It’s all about providing convenience to the clients. Working with us is just faster and definitely more fun!. I, (Miguel) am in charge of the real estate sales and negotiations; where as Marco is in charge of our branding, social media management and of all of our marketing in general. However, we are both responsible for creating new business relationships and we are committed to ensure a great clients’ experience in their process of buying or selling their property.

How do you positively contribute to the real estate industry besides sales?

market being slow; in fact, when the market is slow we triple our marketing efforts.

The most important part of our business journey has been the creation of new innovative ways to help our clients in their transactions. We are firm believers that educating buyers, especially “foreign individuals” to make right choices is imperative, so we became publishers of a luxury publication that informs readers of the trends, news and importance of the real estate market.

What do you consider the best real estate investment in Miami?

We are also the origianl founders and owners of PANDA IDX (Property Access N’ Detailed Analysis) a real estate tech company. This startup is the most creative way for real estate professionals to market themselves in a very competitive industry. So we don’t keep our talent and experience to ourselves, we actually share it to the rest of the real estate community for their own advantage. Aside from the magazine and the tech company, we created a real estate marketing agency called CREW Miami. Through this company we create real estate brands for real estate agencies and agents. Like we mentioned before, we want everyone to do well so we give everyone the same tools we use because they work. It’s all about perception and we make sure all real estate professionals that seek our services get the help they need so their own clients can perceive them as the king or queen of the market they are trying to target. In other words, we have become advocates of excellence in customer service, technology & marketing in the Miami real estate industry. What drives you to be part of an industry that is oversaturated and very competitive? What drives us is knowing the good we do for people and the real estate community. We truly believe that what you give to the world and to people is exactly what will get in return, so we are very conscious and aware of what we do and how we do it. We didn’t get into this industry thinking it was going to be easy or difficult, we integrated ourselves because we knew we could bring value to it. Our focus are our clients and not the competitiveness of the market. We do our own thing and are not worried about the

That is a question with many variables. If money is not an issue and you’re a foreign national buyer looking to buy a second or third home, I say go with what you like (Oceanfront condo, at least 3 bedrooms so you can have enough room for your family and friends etc). There really isn’t a rule of what a good investment is based on your own purchase ability and the use you’re going to give the investment. A buyer from New York or Canada will not care much about a cap rate when all they want is to escape from the cold. These types of buyers are looking for the Sun and they will purchase based on their purchase power and possible resale value not on how much money they can make out of it. Miami local investors will benefit more from multifamily and single family homes that they can fix and rent out for a good profit. A lot of LatinAmerican investors are looking for commercial opportunities to acquire Visas to become legal residents in this country and that is a good investment to them. So basically, a good investment is tight to your own unique situation and this is why we are here. We examine each individual prospect and determine what a “good investment” means to them. One size does not fit all and we understand the concept of tailored real estate investments. We are confident to say that doing business with us is always a unique and fun experience, but most importantly, it is a guarantee that our clients will be happy to know that we care for them. By the end of every transaction we establish a long lasting relationship of mutual respect with all our clients. We have over 20 years of experience in real estate sales and marketing and we will meet every client’s expectations with knowledge and professionalism. Are you looking to buy or sell your property?

A conversation with

CHI C

LILI & MILA KALYNOVYCH

“It is our goal to service clients professionally, ethically, honestly and always strive to over deliver while enjoying the process. This allows us to live our best selves and find fullfilment in helping our clients realize their real estate goals”

ili and Mila are a highly-skilled team of professionals whose commitment to excellence has made them rising stars in the South and North Florida luxury real estate market They serve the commercial and residential sectors. Their list of influential clients and colleagues represent high net worth buyers, sellers and investors, both locally and around the world. Lili & Mila Kalynovych are originally from Ukraine and attended Lviv University, where they graduated at M.D. Economic faculty of business and financial management. They also lived for 12 years in Switzerland and graduated at M.D. Cosmetic Dermatologist “CIDESCO” Academy in Zurich, Swiss. Lili & Mila are fluent in English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Czech and intermediate French. They specialize in single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, vacant lots, horse ranches and commercial properties across Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Wellingthon, Jupiter, as well as the coastal communities from Fort Lauderdale to South Beach. Clients searching for commercial and senior housing opportunities will also find that Lili & Mila are knowledgeable professionals with a firm grip on the market. Prior to start working at Engel & Volkers in Palm Beach Realty, Lili & Mila worked at Century21 Premier Elite and Douglas Elliman. Their philosophy is simple: it’s all about the buyers and sellers’ needs. Identify the client’s needs, figure out the best way to service them and do the best job for them to develop a relationship. Why did you choose real estate as a career? Because most real estate agents work as independent contractors. They get to set their own hours and decide for themselves how to manage their time and priorities. You can work from home, set your own goals and reap the rewards of your successes. You are simply your own boss. Real estate provides a path to financial freedom and personal fulfillment. We get to help families own their home. We gain great satisfaction in knowing that we helped people through major times in their lives. From a new

couple buying their first house to families buying a vacation home or a bachelor getting his ultimate bachelor pad. When you are a real estate agent you become part counselor and part life coach. It can be a very rewarding career for real estate professionals who have a passion for giving back. As Twins, what do you like the most about working together? We compliment each other when it comes to real estate ideas. Two heads are better than one and we adore spending time together. Our double strength is a form of problem solving in real estate for our clients. What are the advantages your clients have by working with both of you versus working with a single agent? Working as a team gives us the opportunity to be in multiple places at once. The ability for the clients to have the two of us working for them on any transaction, will speed up the closing of their home or investment. Thus, keeping the process stress-free and as easy as possible. Also, it’s impossible for one agent to be an expert at everything. We have the ability to speak different languages, we know different areas, we are tech savvy, and most importantly, we are excellent at client communication and understanding the market. All theses are areas that our team excels over other agents. Working as a team makes us very unique and successful in open-house events. We are able to give more attention to the clients and that makes them feel special. What was the most important part of your business journey together? Like the saying goes: “Life is not a destination, but a journey”. We both have taken many steps to get to where we are today. Time, perseverance, and many years of hard work will eventually bring you overnight success. We strongly believe on what Bill Gates once said: “It’s fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure“. Most people’s success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. A person who

never made a mistake never tried anything new. The most important part of our business journey together is that we both realized that we have to build our own dreams before building someone else’s dream. Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The price will not be sent to us. We have to win it. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. What drives you to keep going when it gets tough? There is a famous phrase in English: When the going gets tough, the tough get going meaning when the situation becomes difficult, the strong will work harder to meet and face the challenge. Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seems to be no hope at all. We should never give up, even when things are really tough. We both realized that if we keep trying even when things seem impossible, we can achieve something truly amazing. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

JEFFREY & JERRY ABREU

Our personal and professional values are based on honesty, integrity, character, and our willingness to always help others selflessly. These traits of the Abreu Family were engraved to us by our parents and always allows us to stand out in our careers.

effrey & Jerry Abreu are passionate about selling and investing in Real Estate. Their background in Real Estate Investments, Financing, and Brokerage give the Abreu Twins an advantage on how to list and sell your property at the best price for you. Originally from New Jersey, Jeffrey and Jerry Abreu are fully bilingual in English & Spanish. They work with other brilliant real estate professionals that are also able to provide services in other languages. Abreu Twins, what inspired you to work in this industry? We have been involved in the Real Estate Industry for over 12 yrs. What attracted us to become involved, was all the distress real estate properties during the financial collapse of 2008. Both, our clients and us were able to acquire Real Estate at well below market value and reposition the assets for future appreciation. We feel this Industry is full of opportunities and it welcomes anyone that is fully committed to long term success. Jeffrey, could you tell us what is most important to you when providing your real estate services? What is most important to us when providing Real Estate Services to our Clients is understanding their needs and what is most essential to them. People looking into investing and acquiring properties always need a helping hand to guide them throughout the process, no matter how educated you are as a buyer or as an investor, we are always on top of the latest trends, new developments and great opportunities happening in Miami. Furthermore, we pride ourselves in always advising clients whether they are acquiring and/ or selling real estate like if we were in their shoes. This allows us to really concentrate on what is best for our clients and ultimately create a Win-Win situation for all parties involved. What separates you from other real estate professionals? What separates my twin and I from other Real Estate Professionals is that we treat our clients’ money as our own money. By thinking this

way, we stride to protect our clients financial assets and advise them to invest in key real estate opportunities that are positioned for future growth. We also have a key eye for identifying real estate with tremendous upside potential. We are constantly analyzing “undervalued” real estate properties for our clients. This allows us to be the first ones to learn of great real estate opportunities, both on and off market deals. How do you complement each other in your work? While Jeffrey specializes in finding great properties with many time great upside potential, Jerry has a passion for capital markets and analysis. By having one of us focus on the actual real estate asset, the other focuses on the financial aspect of the business. This allows us to have an overall understanding of current and future performance of the Real Estate industry as a whole and not only the buying/selling aspect. How do you help your clients during the process of investing in Real Estate? We believe that it is always imperative to start off by asking our prospects essential questions that relate to their needs and current financial situation in their lives. This is crucial to fully understand what our clients’ financial and overall goals are. In order to cater to our clients, we must understand everything about their intentions. The next step is to come up with a strategy for short term and long term growth. Our Clients love and appreciate this part because it gives them a birdseye view of their real estate portfolio that many times they never have taken the time to review. Our real estate expertise combined with the expertise of the real estate team that we work with, always give our clients a feeling of comfort. Our commitment is an assurance that they can count on us to guide them through the Real Estate Investing Process.

In addition to real estate, what other unique value added services do you provide your clients? We offer assets for sale to private equity funds, hedge funds and other high net-worth sophisticated investors at very attractive prices while helping to streamline the asset acquisition process. Our clients depend on us to provide them with assets that offer value and steady returns. We advise owners/investors on acquisition and disposition of real estate properties while building long term relationships for life. We treat our clients like family. Our mission To provide our clients, whether selling, buying, or operating real estate properties, with the best first class service. To provide them the best advice to place them on the path for short and long term success. With Jeffrey identifying great Real Estate properties, and Jerry unlocking Financial upside through research and analytics, we make the perfect team for sophisticated investors. We want our clients and future clients to know that we understand that in order to be successful in business, every client must be happy. We provide a team effort that creates a win-win game plan for clients’ investments and their real estate holdings.

JENNIFER SOLANO

PROFESSIONAL DANCER

CHI C Jennifer is the owner and ART director of iDance Miami. She teaches a wide variety of dancing styles from Hustle, Cha Cha, Tango, Swing, Mambo. Bolero, Rumba, Foxtrot, Waltz or any dance that requires a partner. All these dancer are ballroom dances and are considered an expression of ART.

ennifer was born in Costa Rica and she started dancing at the age of 5 years old, and when she was 6 years old, she told her mother she wanted to become a professional dance instructor. She knew even as a child, that dancing was going to be what she was going to do for the rest of her life. Jennifer moved to the United States and started her dancing path by doing a little cheerleading in High-school and after graduating, she moved to Arizona to become a certified Ballroom instructor. After her training as a certified instructor, she moved to different cities like Hawaii, Los Angeles and New York to grow as a dancer. She ended up in Las Vegas where she spent 8 years working at different dance studios including Delgado studio, that was ranked among the top 3 dance studios in the country for 4 years in a row while she worked there.

So you are saying that through dancing you have been able to change the lives of others?

After Jennifer achieved excellence and recognition in the professional dance world, she worked with the TV show “Dancing with the Stars” for many years. She also danced and participated in concerts with Maroon Five and Jessica Simpson among others. After her life as a dancing star, Jennifer moved to Miami with a clear goal “to open her own dance studio”. With all the experience she gathered in Vegas, she brought to Miami a true “Vegas style” show and style of her own.

Can anyone be a dancer or is it a gift you are born with?

What is the most important part of being a dancer? I think for me one of the most important realizations in my life was when I could see myself as a professional dancer. Dancing is my passion and I wanted to dance for a living, I wanted to follow my dreams. Most “dancers” do not follow their passion because of the money but I believe that real dancers don’t think about those things, they listen to their call and just go for it without being intimidated about the future. I cannot think of what type of life would I have without dancing because dancing is the most important part of my life after my children and family. Dancing is the best way for me to express myself and also through dancing I teach others to express themselves and to develop into the dancer that already exist inside them. Through dancing I can bring the best out of myself and people.

Absolutely and that is the reason why I do what I do, because nothing brings me more pleasure and happiness than to helping others through simply following my passion. What are the difficulties you have faced in your dancing career and how did you overcome it? Most of my dancer friends tell me that they don’t want to continue dancing because there is no money in dancing, because it is too hard to make it and it is not a real career. They say all kinds of things to me that honestly they just sound like excuses. But after all that nonsense I just keep dancing because when I don’t dance I’m just not fully happy.

I truly believe everyone can dance. I hear people saying “I have two left feet or I’m just not good at it” but anyone can dance. If you can walk you can dance! if you really have the desire to dance, you can be on a wheelchair and dance! You don’t have to be born in a culture or environment of dancing; It has to be born in you, you just have to have the desire to experience freedom. What do you feel is more important when you dance, the connection with your partner or the connection with yourself? I dance Ballroom and that is my specialty so the connection with a partner is essential and part of the style. However; you first need to learn how to connect with yourself, and once you are able to do this then you can connect with a partner and become one on the dancefloor. And that is a beautiful thing and a beautiful feeling. What advice would you give to someone that wants to start dancing as an adult? I grew up dancing but didn’t take Ballroom until I was 18. I remember people would say “you’re too old”. Someone once made a comment to me “the current ballroom champions from Italy started to dance at 3 years of age”; but that never stopped me or affected my

choice to become a dancer. I know of dancers that started their careers at a very young age and later in life they never did anything with their dancing. So it is really a mental thing “You cannot let anyone tell you what is inside you and time shouldn’t be an important matter”. It’s never too late to start! I remember 18 years ago when I had first gotten certified, I met a beautiful lady that worked at the same studio I did. She was 90 years old, she started dancing at 87 years of age and she went through all dancing certifications “Bronze, Silver, etc” and became a “Gold” student. She was dancing and working at the same time and she used to say that dancing kept her young. So you are never too old, it’s never too late to dance. What do you think are the best moments in your career? I have choreographed more than 100 weddings, quinceañeras and show choreographies but most of my best moments in my career are because of the students that I have had. I can tell you stories about the lives of students we have changed; students who have been through divorce, students wanting to lose weight, students on depression or simple people going to everyday life issues and we help them through dancing. My biggest reward and my personal story is not about myself but about how I was able to change people’s lives through dancing. The most important thing for me is to see people coming from medical conditions, physical conditions and many mental and emotional issues improving their lives because of dancing. Dancing is life, dancing is health but most importantly a way to become the best version of yourself.

JENNIFER SOLANO PROFESSIONAL BALLROOM DANCER MY BIGGEST REWARD AND MY PERSONAL STORY IS NOT ABOUT MYSELF BUT ABOUT HOW I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE PEOPLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S LIVES THROUGH DANCING

CHI C I specialize in helping men understand women! I’m a certified dating and relationship coach that guides men how to master attraction, and gain confidence to be more successful in their love and business lives.

ery often we grow up not knowing how to have healthy relationships. Love is a verb and it something that requires action but a lot of times we don’t take that action to learn. Even if we had seen incredible love in our household sometimes we can still find ourselves in the wrong relationships, and especially those that never saw love in a household may have to learn what healthy love is through trial and error, experience or teaching. So, that’s where I come in. I assist men with understanding and getting an education in love since this is something that was never taught in school That’s why a lot of people call me The Oprah of Dating. Apollonia can you please tell me, why did you choose to work with Men? This goes back to my personal story. As a young girl I was always attracted to love. My first memory as a young girl was me questioning my mom about love at the age of 5. I grew up in a divorced family and always wondered why love brought so much happiness and sadness.I would look at my parents and I would always say: “why are they always fighting, why is my mom crying, why is there yelling? - I thought love was supposed to bring happiness!” To me it didn’t make sense. Love was suppose to be happy! So everyone said and what the Hollywood stories told. I was so fascinated to find out more about love that I would sneak my headphones into my room and listen to Dr. Ruth on the radio till 3 am and wake up to go to school the next day. Dr. Ruth was the first sex expert/ relatiosnhip expert to be open about this topic. At a young age I grew up with a very narcissistic and mentally ill father. Mentally he was not able to give me the support a father can give a young girl. He always tried to be in my life but he just didn’t know how to love me in the way his little girl needed. My father didn’t know how to show love because he was always seeking love when he was a child, so he never received that love from his parents. When he had me as his daughter he was showing love in the wrong places with controlling behavior, placing blame, and manipulative behavior which hurt me as a little girl. So as I grew up my relationship with my father diminished slowly even though I constantly tired. During this process I went through a lot of turmoil with men, I was in a very abusive relationship with a man, and jump from relationship to relationship. After facing this I turned inwards towards personal development and

forgiveness. which helped me turn inwards to personal development, my spiritual practice as well as forgiveness. Which helped me turn my life around, forgive my father, love him for who he was, and even forgive my past relationships. I stepped out of victim and took control of my life. I started noticing that my heart was bigger than normal. I had so much compassion for the men in my past and for other men. So, I started interviewing men and really diving deep in working with both men and women. I started developing a relationship with my father and then it started to reflect on men more. I came to a point where I started to forgive and I noticed that there was a bigger answer to the reason why I let someone abused me, why I allowed myself to be in toxic relationships. It was because I didn’t love myself! If you had the opportunity to go back to your childhood, what would you tell your father? I would just tell him I love him for him, I would tell him: “You never disappointed me. As a father you did exactly what you were supposed to do” because everything he did worked for me to be the best woman in my life today. He literally gave me the best lessons in life. He was the reason I found my purpose. So even though he wasn’t in my life, he gave me the most internal gifts. My passion. I think this would be very humbling for him because he did love me, he just didn’t know how to show it in a healthy way. I feel women are more inclined to work with other women rather than to work with men, can you give us your opinion on why? I feel that women do gravitate to other women naturally because of feminine energy and nurturing behavior many of us women have. Also, we tend to be more relatable and that’s why women choose to sometimes work with other women. I also think it comes down to how you energetically connect with someone. Also, women have been held to a higher standard our whole life so there is comfortability in understanding that without communicating that. Women want to feel emotionally and physically safe always so that’s why other women choose women because they feel safe with understanding the standards we’ve been faced with. This is the #1 healthy reason why we choose life partners. What do you feel is the most challenging part

about working with men? As a coach, what has been the hardest thing for me is seeing the potential in somebody because I’ve seen what my work has created for people. I’ve had men book sessions with me and kept investing in themselves and change their lives around! There were so many clients that emailed me personally and told me that they were at a point of depression or suicide before talking to me and changed their life around. It gives me goosebumps thinking about this but the thing that’s hard for me as a coach working in this industry is when I see potential in someone and I see what could happen because I’ve seen this work before, I’ve done this but they just don’t know yet. You get to a point where you have to take a moment and step back and say: “this is not your life”; this is the life that they choose, you’re a tool and either they are going to pick up that tool and use it or they are going to pick up that tool and set it down. So I constantly remind myself and I think that has been one of my biggest struggles of being in this industry. It is seeing the potential and men not seeing them themselves. What’s your advice to men on how to approach a relationship with a woman? My advice to men is to never stop learning. There are different stages of relationships, but in general, relationships are constant investments, so even if you are not in a relationship, the relationship you have with yourself, is a constant investment. The minute we take a set back and we dilute who we are, is the moment we lose ourselves. Every day is a new commitment to continue growing personally. My message to men is “Always invest in yourself.” If you’re trying to find the woman of your dreams or better your life, keep investing in yourself with an open heart, compassion and an authentic understanding of who you are, with integrity and understanding of your self worth will abide you to have high standards for yourself, which is huge in life, dating and love. I truly believe this is by far the principal for a successful relationship.

APOLLONIA PONTI RELATIONSHIP COACH FOR MEN I HELP MEN UNDERSTAND THE MIND OF A WOMAN, THE HEALTHY ASPECT OF DATING, AND HOW TO CULTIVATE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH THEMSELVES AND WOMEN.

CHI C I am the creator of my own brand called: “Prive Concepts”, where trends & fashion are created for women who want highlight today’s trends in fashion. My brand represents a classic style and more daring and trendy look that takes care of the personality of each of my clients who contact me for fashion advice.

was born in a small town on the Colombian coast where fashion was a taboo, and since I was a child, my fashion inclination was one of my biggest dreams and a great passion for style. Breaking paradigms in a retrograde and backward society inspired me to continue my dream of making fashion a lifestyle for women who wanted to look different, so that’s how I decided to open the first boutique with my own brand in Colombia. And at the same time, I also brought well known franchises in the fashion industry that were the most relevant during that time. My vision was to expand my dream to other cities and thus support women who wanted to dress according to the trends of the year and wanting to look different from the traditional “fashion”. I migrated to the United States to live the American dream like every immigrant but I met a different situation than I expected. I dedicated myself to work and live day by day, giving priority to my family and forgetting my dreams for many years. But dreams are never forgotten, they were always present and upon waking up in a new stage of my life they were bigger than the circumstances that I was living and were one of my engines that drove again to build my profession. I’m just grateful to God because he always holds me by his hand and helps me move forward with my life projects.

How do you balance your professional life with the personal? I would just tell him I love him for him, I would tell him: “You never disappointed me. As a father you did exactly what you were supposed to do” because everything he did worked for me to be the best woman in my life today. He literally gave me the best lessons in life. He was the reason I found my purpose. So even though he wasn’t in my life, he gave me the most internal gifts. My passion. I think this would be very humbling for him because he did love me, he just didn’t know how to show it in a healthy way. I feel women are more inclined to work with other women rather than to work with men, can you give us your opinion on why? As Mother and Businesswoman I rely on tools that allow me to balance my life both personally and professionally. One of them is to work with an agenda to manage my time and set my priorities: God, my children, me as a woman and my company. I organize my agenda weekly and according to priorities I set schedules based on how much quality time I can dedicate to each task and personal appointments. I also set simple actions like exercising to help me connect with myself and of course, quality time to spend with my sons. I also take many days off to connect with God are other personal things that are important to me.

about fashion. From the moment that I became a fashion advisor for my friends, I felt I was contributing not only to make them look great, but also to feel beautiful and empowered. I can tell you that who inspire me the most in life are women, The brave women, the hard working women, housewives, the entrepreneur women, empowered women who love their “flaws” and virtues that make them so unique and special. Have you ever experienced resistance when trying to lead men? I have never experienced resistance when guiding men. I identify more with women for obvious reasons but I love helping men in their fashion evolution as well. I feel more empathy for women because I create long lasting relationships with them as I advise them and dress them. As a man, I can only tell you how great you look and how good you smell (lol). How do you differ from other women in the same industry? I am a versatile woman and I always find the perfect look for every woman who comes to me. I always look for the uniqueness of each person so I can accentuate their best features. My perception of who every woman is and her identity, is what makes me different. I always look for their attributes so they reflect, express and feel great with what they are wearing.

As a woman leader, what has been the most difficult barrier in your career?

What advice would you give to the next generation of women leaders?

I wouldn’t call them barriers, but rather circumstances. A successful woman is the one who leads with passion and therefore, as a woman leader, I must be bigger than the circumstances. One of the circumstances that I have lived through my career has been to support women who don’t love themselves and neglect their appearance thus ceasing to be beautiful women from both inside and out. My true mission in the world is to empower and inspire women to look and feel like Goddesses.

The best advice I can give them is to be authentic and to maintain their essence as women. Women who focus on what they really want and continue working to achieve their dreams, is what makes them have clear objectives and make them come true. Brave women who have a clear mission in life are never afraid to make “mistakes”.

Who inspired you to make the woman you are today and why? One of the things that I thank God the most is to have giving me the gift to be passionate

Dear women, know that it is not enough to say "I am an empowered woman!" Be aware that this virtue must begin from the inside in order to transform the outside. Never stop empowering yourselves and each other whether at home, at work or in any situation you are ever involved. IG: @priveconceptstore

ichelle Arguello hosts the Style Your Life Podcast with her long time friend Erin Moody. This creative outlet was designed from their years of personal development, research, and avid reading. Michelle has a passion for merging all she has learned with her own personal life experience to inspire true and lasting positive change in her audience. She is on a mission to share insights, discoveries, and revelations that will help move you forward. I grew up the daughter of a Methodist Minister who became a Navy Chaplain when I was in 8th grade. This meant that throughout my youth I moved to a new city every two to three years. As a child, this was a difficult lifestyle and something I viewed as a challenge. I was always starting over. Adulthood brought a new set of challenges, including a divorce after 15 years of marriage and adjusting to being a single mom. Again, I had to decide whether circumstances were going to break me or make me stronger. Admittedly, I had many moments of breaking, but ultimately decided that circumstances would not dictate my overall well being and peace. I have learned that my perspective is a choice that makes all the difference. Now, I have a passion to share this knowledge with others so that they can avoid the same mistakes I made. My desire is to be a guide, coach, and friend through the messy navigation of life. Michelle what do you think are the most important qualities a person should have to become an influencer? Authenticity - Be real! Have a unique and genuine voice that people trust. Purpose - Be driven! Have a clear and powerful “Why” that is centered around serving others. Confidence - Be bold! Have a strong presence that communicates your expertise. Passion - Be inspiring! Have a contagious enthusiasm that excites and motivates your audience. Humility - Be humble! Have a teachable mindset that is open to feedback and respectful of others. Could you share what is your greatest realization in life and why? My greatest realization in life is that I AM enough. As many women do, I grew up believing the lie that I wasn’t pretty enough, smart enough, or talented enough to have or achieve what I wanted. I fed this toxic belief

by comparing myself to unrealistic standards I saw in magazines or on TV. I allowed myself to be treated poorly in romantic relationships because I subconsciously believed I didn’t deserve more or couldn’t get more. This mindset had deep roots and permeated every facet of my being. It wasn’t until my 30s that I started having a shift in my self perception. Ironically, my greatest realization came through my greatest heartache and challenge. I went through an ugly divorce after 15 years of marriage. It was devastating, but it also showed me how strong, resilient, and capable I was and had actually been all those years without realizing it. Throughout my divorce process and onward, I have been on a self discovery and personal development journey. I have learned to love myself and to recognize that, flaws and all, I AM enough. I have a passion to share this realization with others so that they too can break free from the negative self perception that they aren’t enough Where does your passion come from and When are you most fully yourself? My passion comes from my sincere desire to inspire others to build confidence and embrace change. I took the long hard road to develop into who I am. I want to use that experience to impact the lives and perspectives of my audience. I am most fully myself when I am serving others. I feel most fulfilled and alive when I am positively impacting others, whether it’s through coaching, teaching, or recording podcast episodes. What is the biggest challenge you've faced and how did you overcome it? The biggest challenge that I have faced was standing on the other side of my divorce and realizing that there was no one coming to rescue me. All my childhood fantasies of knights on white horses or happily ever afters were destroyed. Everything I had known was gone in what seemed like an instant and I was left to pick up the pieces. This was a heavy burden to bear, especially with two young children counting on me. I questioned my competence and my ability to provide everything we needed. I battled my belief of not being enough. I feared the future and everything felt uncertain. But, in this dark

time, I discovered that fear is a liar and I had more strength than I knew. I decided that the story of my life would not be written by fear. The first step to overcoming was accepting things as they were and making a determined decision that I was not going to settle, give up, or let fear dictate my future. I spent countless hours reading personal development books, learning to meditate, and setting goals. I was on a mission to change my mindset and learn from my mistakes. That’s right, I said MY mistakes. An important part of this journey was taking responsibility for my part. That is a humbling experience, but a necessary one. As a Podcast host, what do you want your audience to do differently after listening to your episode? After listening to my podcast, I want my audience to take action. So often people consume knowledge and feel motivated, but never actually take any real action. Our goal for each episode is to give our listeners tangible tips that can be applied immediately. These tips are throughout the episodes along with personal stories and insightful interviews. What do you fear most about hosting a podcast? My biggest fear is that there is someone who needs to hear the message of the podcast, but hasn’t heard it. It breaks my heart to imagine someone needing encouragement or needing advice and feeling like they are facing giants alone. I have such a deep desire to reach as many people as I can with practical hope and I fear not reaching someone who needs it. What does it mean to you to speak from the heart? Speaking from the heart is being vulnerable and honest. It is speaking your truth and telling your story directly and with sincerity. This kind of open communication is difficult and can feel weak, but it is strong and brave. It builds true and lasting connections between people. It has the power to change lives. TODAY I DECIDE WHETHER A CIRCUMSTANCE BREAKS ME OR BUILDS ME. I AM BUILDING A WOMAN WHO DOESN’T GIVE UP AND WHO IS ENOUGH.

DANIEL HABIF

UNBREAKABLE

I believe that one of the realest things about me is that I am a person who likes to share his intimacy, not so much his privacy, which is where people have concentrated.

alking about Daniel, when he is not on stage, I am a man who likes and enjoys loneliness, not desolation. I am tremendously a dreamer with a very good sense of humor. I am very peculiar and I love the tragicomedy of life but I am a little afraid of the dreams I have. I suffer from insomnia and I hardly sleep. I am a perfectionist in everything I do and sometimes this makes me suffer deeply. I could tell you about all this and tell you that I see it as a virtue, and what many people consider a mistake, I see as an opportunity or as an advantage. What is your mission in this life? My mission in this life is to love until my chest bursts. Love in all its forms because I realize that in my heart lives an entire universe and I am someone who is willing to consume itself for its purpose of life. My life purpose has been transmuted and changed, love remains as the main essence, and of course, serving and inspiring others to fulfill impossible missions and pushing people to build dreams that they believe go beyond their own competences. I am someone who is obsessed with transforming people for good. My purpose in the end is one day to be able to see God face to face and for that I work in the finite world, to see if I can achieve it. What are the biggest factors that have helped yor process and your success? The acceptance of who I am and the daring of being who I am. Paying the price of authenticity, that has been one of the most difficult processes. Pain has been a great construction tool in my life, I have never used it as a platform to become a victim but as a catapult that helps me level up, you know? I am someone who seeks to catalyze everything that happens in life. One is always making history and above all one makes history in the failures, and depending on how each one lives the failures or those mistakes his story changes you know? It is a constant process, I do not buy the successes of yesterday and I do not believe in success. In fact, success, I call him a liar. He is usually a great liar (success), and when you start to believe him, things start to go to the wrong place.

How does your wife contribute to this process? My wife is the pillar of this project. Many people wonder how I got here and the one who has the answer is my wife because she is my cane, she is my bulwark, my wife is my life made a woman. We have complemented each other incredibly and she is the greatest gift God has placed in my life. She contributes in every way, beyond the professional world, she does it excellently, with a lot of passion, a lot of patience, a lot of diligence. She is a woman with hundreds of imperfections, but who has learned to love all thousand pieces of a man. Daniel Habif is a weird guy and this woman learned to love all his pieces equally, so imagine how she has contributed to this life project. My wife is a woman who is my base and is the woman who came to the feet of God and for that I will be eternally grateful. What are your daily habits of success? I have a habit of not giving up dear, I have a habit of being brutally disciplined and not returning home without having done something good for other people. I also have other bad habits, I don’t like sleeping, I hold on not to close my eyes, I have other terrible ones as if there would be no tomorrow. I am brutally gluttonous, I feel that one day I will wake up brutally fat with everything I have swallowed for the last 15 years of my life and I will weigh 400 lb from one day to another. I have the habit of forgiving unforgivable things, those are my habits If you could do things again today, what would you do differently? I would only do something different, probably, to have received Christ before. I have thought deeply and who knows if it would be the same today if I had received it before. Everything that has happened in my life has happened surgically, but I would choose the same family, the same father, the same mother, the same wife, the same friends. YES, you know what? The uncertainty in my life has been one of the greatest provocateurs of good things. I would not like to change anything at all. How is it that you, after your dad died, gain strength to continue climbing on stage and continue living with the desire that you live

and continue to love people as you do? Look, my Father’s death was undoubtedly one of the most painful events of my life, but sadness is a divine appointment with God, and I know that I will see him again. I understood that I had to honor my life, stop suffering and crying miserably. I learned to endure the pain with dignity and as I mentioned, for some strange reason, the pain has been part of my gasoline. I cried and shouted from the inside of course, and there are days that his memory is a blow to the chest and sends me to the floor, but that’s good because that sadnesses help us recapitulate our life and look at another perspective. I think I will see him again and then I would be very ashamed to see him again and tell him that I cried all my life and he will tell me, but you knew that there is eternal life, what the hell were you doing crying? I’m very embarrassed to waste time not getting beautiful memories to be able to tell them in eternity. I’m not going to play that game of telling you that I don’t cry when I think about him, when nostalgia floods me, well I honor it and allow myself to cry. I am not a person who resists suffering, on the contrary, I let him live inside me, I smile and so I say goodbye by saying, well, see you in a month or a week. I don’t know when I get back, but for now, time for you to leave. What is the most difficult decision you have taken to this day? All the decisions I make every day are difficult, but I think the most difficult decisions are the ones I never made. Those are eternal. Look, not making a decision is having made the worst decision in your life, because at least when you make a decision, even if it is wrong, it is taking responsibility for your actions and does not become a maybe or an almost, I believe that these things are terrible for the human being. I have made many decisions for not having made a decision and that has led me to torment myself many times. Those stories that are interrupted by one should have kissed more, should have forgiven him, should have called him, should have hugged her more, should have laughed a little more, should have said no, all those decisions you did not make and that time itself, pushed you to make them wrongly. I think they are terrible.

What is the best advice you have been given and who gave it to you?

CREATIVE

in their home, in their society, in their homeland. That they laugh, they laugh a lot about everything so that if death finds you, then at least it finds you laughing and frightens her and in one of those moments she doubts in taking you.

The best advice was given to me by my wife and it was: It is time to return to God. What advice would you give readers so that what they want in life becomes a reality?

Forgive, for forgiveness lightens your burden a lot. Forgive ourselves. Learn from mistakes and in the end love, that I feel is the most important advice that human beings can receive, love, love, love with all your strength, with all your heart, with all that you are. Do not dare to live a life without love, without passion, please do not dare. And I also give you the advice my wife gave me. It is time to return to God.

That they do not care what the world says about them, but to please care about the world. That they do not kill their ideas before they are born, that they do not prosecute their ideas and that they never think they are silly ideas.

AN IMPECCABLE MAN NEVER GOES UNNOTICED

ounder and CEO Thomas M. Watson Thom London. I studied fashion Merchandising in Vermont where I attended College. I was the only male fashion major in the program. Once I got out I began to work in the fashion industry, I worked for Barneys New York and went to school at night at FIT “Fashion Institute of Technology” for Menswear design. After I graduated I worked for a few companies and realized I need to start my own Co. . At the same time I hooked up with a few pro athletes that needed clothing because being 6’7” I could relate to them and their fitting problems. They always would ask me “where did you get your clothes?” and I would tell them “I make them”; so I ended up finding tailors to make clothes for these athletes, and this is how I started to get big clients. I was also able to work with clients in Wall Street just by going to them, to their offices and designing wardrobe packages for them (suits, shirts and whatever they needed). I was passionate about running a business in the fashion industry so in 1997 I opened my first showroom. I had tailors working for me and pattern makers and my custom clothing business was born. Thomas tell us about your brand - what makes Thom London unique? What makes us unique is that we still do everything by hand. I take up to 30 measurements on each client and we make a pattern for them. I have thousands of fabrics to choose from all from London and Italy, we have all different weights “light weight, medium and flannels” - we can accommodate everything a client wants. Also shirtings, we have over a thousand fabrics as well to choose from so men have their choice and they can also choose their collar - different color thread on their shirts, different color buttons. Most of the time they leave the designing up to me. What is more important to you when you work with a sophisticated Man, the relationship you create or the quality of your work? I think the most important thing is the relationship with your client. I make sure I provide them with top notch service and don’t over promise and underdeliver. I prefer to be honest and straight up with my clients; this is how I create a relationship with them. I like making my clients happy and providing everything for them for their clothing needs.

I have had the same clients for over 20 years that keep buying from me and they refer me to a lot of their friends and family for all of their wardrobe needs. I would say that the highest compliment from a client is a referral. Where are your garments made? We make everything in New York City. All my tailors are there. We still do things the old fashion way, We cut the pattern and sew mostly by hand. As a Menswear Designer what do you do in order to accommodate varying taste and budget? Obviously everyone has a budget so I have different price points of fabric. Once you get a feel for the client and you understand their taste and their needs, I want to make them feel comfortable with where they want to be. Sometimes clients need suits for everyday business and they don’t want to spend a lot of money on fabric. They create a lot of wear and tear in their suits but they need to wear them. I also have clients that are very fashion forward, very fashion conscious and they love very unique patterns and really high-end fabrics so the cost is always more. Where do you see the future of the men’s clothing industry heading? What I am seeing right now is a big shift in the suit and tie. More guys are just going for sport coats with a pair of different color dress pants or jeans, a lot of guys are not wearing a tie anymore or a traditional suit. Even with the traditional suit they wear it with unique shirt combinations, making it more casual. So the traditional suit with a tie for most guys is going out. Is the Bowtie coming back? I still have a few clients that still wear a bowtie, they add a different fashion element to the wardrobe. I think the right bowtie with the right jacket is a really nice look anyday! What have been the secrets to your success as a clothier and businessman? What has made me be able to stay in this business so long is what we talked about before - “The relationship I have with my clients”. It is like any business; if you provide good service, do what you say you’re going to do, then you can get big clients every year. You just have to show up on time, deliver the quality garment

they expect and they’ll be with you for life. Now that Thom London opened in Miami, how do you do things differently? I recently sold my business in New York and moved to Miami full time. It is a different type of demographic and a different client here. I am working with clients that are a little more laid back, a little more casual and I can take advantage of the new trends like I explained before. There are a lot more options now than before with sport coats because they are more popular and now it seems like everyone just wants to wear a sport coat instead of suits. The Miami market is definitely different, but with some due diligence and hard work, I feel that i’ll be able to establish great relationships with really high-end business Men. Any advice for men as far as style? I think men should still consider dressing in nice suits, sport coats and dress pants. I think guys sometimes take casual a little too far and they are not dressing the way they should. I’d like to see men kind of come back to the traditional way. I’ve always been fascinated with the era of 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s when guys were always dressed nicely no matter what. If you look at old footage of guys going to baseball games always in a suit, hat and a tie. I don’t think we should ever come to that extreme but I think guys should really start dressing more even on an everyday basis. You never know who you’re going to meet and I think that first impression really makes a difference.

started my first business at the age of eight years old by selling candy at school to my classmates. My negotiation skills were developed at a very young age because I was driven by the desire to have my own money and not having to depend on anyone else. to get everything I wanted. My friends call me the wizard because I can create something out of nothing. I remember my first job to be at the age of 12 as Basketball coach was my first paid job at 12 y/o to train my youngest brother's team and winning that year’s championship. I studied Business Administration and graduated at 21 from Universidad IBERO in Mexico city. Opened my first restaurant when I was 23. I became an experienced casual dining operator and created company owned brands as well. I Developed Italianni’s becoming the most successful casual dining restaurant chain in Mexico for 15 years until selling our stores to a public company. Today I oversee more than 100 restaurants systemwide under different brands. I am also in the agricultural business and started a company www.vegiexpo.com to export products to the US and Canada. I also started my own mezcal spirit brand named Santo Gusano to be launched this year along with Mezcal Bars, www.santogusano.com.mx I’m also a real estate investor & developer launching an exciting new residential & hotel concept this year in the Brickell area. JC what made you decide to work in the food and beverage industry? During a family trip in Italy in the 90’s we went to Don Alfonso 1890 restaurant and I was impressed by the hospitality and passion of Chef Don Alfonso and his wife Livia Iaccarino who inspired me to become latter a restauranteur. I am also a wine lover so I always knew at some point in my life I was going to be involved in some sort of business that included enjoyining the good pleasures of life. What does “hospitality” mean to you? It’s the Art of entertaining your guest and exceeding their expectations. It is an industry where being generous and friendly to your visitors and guests is your main activity and pleasure.

In your experience, what is the key to developing a good restaurant concept? To develop a good restaurant concept it’s like telling a story where every step starting from the name should be congruent within each other and increasingly exciting until the end of your visit. This implies every element of interior design, food and drink presentations, uniforms, lighting, music, etc. Have you created an impact by doing what you love? I believe I have created an impact when I hear a birthday celebration in any of my restaurants, when someone proposes matrimony or any other special celebration goin on. I cherish those occasions and I’m always deeply thankful for those moments. Those are the types of memories our guests never forget for the rest of their lives and all of the sudden we become part of them.

modern Mexican cuisine made from scratch with imported ingredients to keep its original flavors. We also have a variety of cocktails made with 100% distilled Mexican agaves. Most importantly our dishes are served as the kitchen prepares them, this ensures their flavors and freshness. And lastly I feel great part of our success is the uniqueness of restaurant. lt makes visitors feel like they are in Mexico, like they have been invited by La Catrina herself. Cantina Catrina’s colorful details are inspired by El Día de Los Muertos. The location a very “instagrammable” feel with bold signs, as well as walls decorated by graffiti artists. The space has a laidback setting and vibe, encouraging anyone to stop by whether it be for lunch, brunch or a fun date night. I invite everyone to have this unique experience, you will definitely love it!

Creating jobs it’s also very gratifying, especially when you build a team that shares your principles, values and vision in life. I really want to leave this legacy to my children where doing what you love with great passion, it exalts your creativity to the maximum heights of fulfillment. When working with your team what is more important to you - Trust, Respect or Cooperation? Trust it’s fundamental. Trust is the foundation of any relationship whether it is personal or professional. It takes years to be built but can be lost in a second. What would you say is the secret of your success and what advice would you give someone trying to follow your steps? Follow your gut and then do extensive research to validate your ideas. Be grateful and loyal to those who believe in you and always honor your word. Always stay positive and look for opportunities during bad times. You recently opened a new Restaurant "Cantina Catrina". Can you share with us a little bit about the process of its immediate success? At Cantina Catrina we have traditional and

DIORMEN Pre-Fall 2020 Menswear Dior Men’s Pre-Fall 2020 Fashion Show took place on Tuesday December 3 rd , at Rubell Family Collection, in Miami. With a guest list full of celebrities, first row with Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, David Beckham, Maluma, supermodels Kate Moss and Bella Hadid, just to name a few; we knew this would be one of the main events of the international expo Art Basel. For Dior Men’s Creative Director - Kim Jones - the keyword for success is Collaboration. As matter of fact, most of this designer’s collections are in collaboration with other visual artists. Being a graduate of Central Saint Martins (the most prestigious fashion school in the world), Jones previously worked with several distinguished brands, including Vuitton, before he was appointed Creative Director of Dior Homme. This has been quite a year for Kim Jones! Precisely the day before his show in Miami, he received the award for Menswear Designer Of The Year by the British Fashion Council. In addition, he has been guest editor and curator for Arts and Fashion Magazines, such as the newly launched Harper’s Bazaar Men. For the Pre-Fall 2020 collection, Jones collaborated with Shawn Stussy - founder of the streetwear label Stüssy – a prominent surfing and skating brand from the 80s and 90s. Stussy designed the set and influenced the mood of the collection. The set was a celebration of the California Street and Hip-Hop Culture, with a Dior patterned tunnel inspired by surfing and waves. Stephen Jones, Dior’s house milliner, made the hats. Accessories were in collaboration with Yoon Ahn, from Ambush, who already has a long history of friendship with designer Kim Jones. The highlight of the show was the sneakers Air Dior. Yes, that’s right! Only Kim Jones would make it possible to create Dior Jordan’s. The collection had a subtle touch of femininity, keeping the codes of the house of Dior. Simple and relaxed silhouettes, creating very distinctive looks. Lots of flower patterned and pastel colored knits. The shirts were made of light silky fabrics and complemented beautifully each look, including tailored suits with a touch of athleisure, while keeping it classy. Dior patterned sweaters, lots of them! The bucket hat has now become a trend for menswear as well, observed in the majority of the looks, and decorated with handmade fabric flowers. A men’s version of cross-body saddle bag (a Dior classic), big totes, combat boots and Dior Jordan’s.

Story by Patricia @thegalwithtwonames

Handbags, previously a women’s only accessory, are now a must have on men’s high fashion and streetwear. Menswear is becoming more gender neutral than ever! This will be the shape of fashion and trends for the upcoming 20s.

The term coaching refers to an interactive process that allows a coach to assist his â&#x20AC;&#x153;coacheeâ&#x20AC;? (the client who receives coaching) to get the best of himself or herself. The coach, therefore, helps the person to reach a certain goal through the use of their own skills and resources in the most effective way.

It makes it possible to change limiting beliefs for empowering beliefs thanks to positive suggestions. Depresion It helps fight insomnia. It allows the patient to reduce and control anxiety, stress and phobias. It helps overcome emotional trauma such as sexual abuse. It positively influences the improvement of self-esteem, self-confidence and motivation. It promotes self-awareness and improves the relationship with ourselves. It helps resolve internal conflicts, eliminating repetitive patterns installed in the unconscious It Improves concentration and focus. Hypnosis is one of the safest, fastest and most effective forms of treatment for most psychological and emotional problems.

A life coach helps you to direct yourself and reach your professional and / or personal goals. The goal is to maximize your potential. A life coach helps you change the current ways of doing things and manage situations that may arise in your path. All this focusing on different areas such as relationships, profession, sports and conflict resolution. SPIRITUAL COACHING A Spiritual Coach helps you live more consciously, to find yourself to live from fullness and to manage your emotions, feelings, needs and desires. My coaching is about that. That you allow yourself to live without fear, to live life in consciousness. The message is to launch everything you crave, everything you love and are passionate about. But above all throw yourself to live and discover you, because nobody else is going to do it for you.

NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)

"HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS ARE THE RESULT OF SPECIFIC THOUGHT PATTERNS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE".

Neuro-linguistic programming or NLP states that happiness and success are the result of specific thought patterns that are available to anyone. NLP has developed models to understand and replicate those mental patterns that lead to satisfactory results based on examples of successful people. In short, NLP is like a software for the brain, allowing people to free themselves from phobias, traumas and internal conflicts. It is also a set of tools to achieve objectives and improve the quality of life. It gives us the possibility of knowing our internal processes and their filters, and acting on them to modify them.

FREEDOM THROUGH MOVEMENT JACABEL CANTU COACH MOVEMENT

LIFE IS MOVEMENT

CHI C

ALL THE UNIVERSE IS CONNECTING US IN EVERY WAY, IN EVERY THOUGHT. Body language is how the soul speaks, and the soul is connected to your heart, and you heart is connected to your emotions reigned by the moon and the flow of water on Earth. So, tell me, how do you feel today?

HAVE YOU BEEN FLEXIBLE WITH YOURSELF? Being flexible does not always mean being flexible with your physical body, it also means to be flexible with your mind and with your words. It means to be flexible during your day with yourself and others around you. We constantly live in a world where we rush with time. We are always rushing for everything. Have you asked yourself lately, what is next for me? If so, that is because we are always creating that which we experience while rushing everything instead of making flexible time to enjoy more. Humans want a shortcut to everything, missing the understanding of “there is a process to go through”, and this process is wonderful because it gives you a lot of experience, but looks like everyone is anxious to get to the end. To change this behaviour, you only need to focus on the present moment, in the “here and now”. Focus on what you are doing now and connect with how that makes you feel. Also focus on the importance of discovering this infinite state of bliss in which we already exist. Changing your attitude and your perception towards the importance of being present, is what determines every moment in our lives. The spiritual movement is expressed in the change of importance related to the final state, that is, in spirituality, the person advances only if the importance he/she feels in relation to the infinite changes, only then it is said, that the time changes and the person changes as well. The world is constantly changing and advancing. Our parents and grandparents didn’t know what we now know today. There is nowhere to go but here and now. We are moving forward and it is time for flexibility, conscious movement and flexibility.

THE WAY YOU REACT IS THE WAY YOU FEEL INSIDE. Did you know that when we stretch our body we send endorphins directly to our brain?. We are more aware - being flexible is a concept that should be applied on everything. Having a flexible body means accepting where you are, and accept that you understand why everyone else is there too. Being flexible gives you the comprehension to accept the ability to keep your point of focus in all you do. HOW FLEXIBLE ARE YOU WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE UNIVERSE? How far do you think or believe life itself is possible? If you can dream it, you can do it, and if you can dream it that's because it already exist, you just have to match the frequency of that experience. If you ask me, everything in the world is connected through vibrational frequency at different levels of mind consciousness. Being aware of this will mean that you are responsible for who you are and who you are becoming. Everyone has the same possibilities, so let’s make it happen. Align your thoughts, your words and your heart. My invitation to you is: Heal before acting. What I can tell you from my life experience is that everything happens for a reason. I used to ask myself: why me?, why is this happening to me? I can tell you now, "Don't worry" the more painful it is, the stronger you become. You are destined to be remembered and to make history. Every circumstance in your life is a lesson to be learned, and the day I realized that, I felt stronger right away. My heart was beating fast and I couldn’t resist the laughter and crying at the same time. I became aware of my power, the same power we all have. Everything is a state of being aligned with these four words in life. Remember them and you will set yourself free and you will feel stronger.

I AM SORRY - FORGIVE ME - THANK YOU - I LOVE YOU

IXIXTLAN - AN ANCTIENT LOVE STORY MAGICAL SANCTUARY OF PEACE AND A ECO-FRIENDLY SPACE

ECOO VILLAGE IXIXTLAN ATLIXCO, PUEBLA MEXICO

A very unique and sacred ground located between two volcanoes "The Popocatepetl and Iztaccíhuatl", that represent the male and female energies of the area, holding a story similar to that of Romeo and Juliet. By Jessica Lucca BELENI KUMARA Founder

Ixixtlán is a close representation of the creator Beleni Kumara, a Mexican born dancer who used her understanding and observations of nature and through her art was able to generate her very own unique concept. Her ideas lead her to build eco friendly cabins with a special twist, integrating sacred geometry as well as numerology in its construction. Each one holds a special energy of its own, each one created with a specific purpose. In her own words Beleni describes to us a little more. “This magical space is based on three fundamental pillars which are ecology as the preservation of the existence of this planet - Art as the language of the spirit through Dance and movement, music and the creation of our workshops which bring experiences that connect us with nature and other people. And the third pillar being the Internal work. I think through our internal work we bring the possibility of unifying people and ourselves with our experiences in a way where we commit ourselves to see each other and understand what our virtues are but

So in the conjunction of these three great pillars we create the community experience. We create the daily experience of sowing, harvesting, cooking, doing our internal practices and our artistic practices to touch all areas in which we would like to explore ourselves more in depth.”

body to express itself through dance and from a very young age I learned ballet and then contemporary dance, pursuing it professionally as an adult.” Later, she also brought the concept to the grounds of Ixixtlán where she holds many events with the aim to bring flexibility, movement, ease and joy through what is called sacred circles of dance that are done in group settings to connect and interact with one another and to release our worries and stress through the process and with the goal to raise our vibrations.

Beleni explains plenty of the construction of this space was led by her art and passion for dance. For her, dancing professionally and singing have been the spiritual nectar and the spiritual answers to her questions that also brought to life the inspiration for Ixixtlán. She decided to dedicate herself to dance because as a little girl she recalls viewing everything as art and further explained “I was in the car and would observe the trees or the sun or even the sea when I was at the beach and in a very intuitive way I understood that nothing was static. Then I allowed my

This space being ecological, offers visitors a different way of living and outlook and the connection that can be made with the abundance of nature that surrounds this gorgeous village which is close to indescribable. Also offering organic delicious vegetarian plates as part of the experience! Beleni’s philosophy is “if you don’t give life to animals, you shouldn’t take it away.” And that is exactly what Ixixtlán is trying to show us; a balanced and harmonious way of being with ourselves, among us as humans and in connection with nature and all its forms.

also what we have learned, the things that have hurt us, the attitudes and behaviors that are self-destructive and that also hurt others - Said Beleni".

CHI C Another two great additions to experience here are the Temazcal and the labyrinth. THE TEMAZCAL SANARTE Is an ancestral bath, a tradition in Mexico, but it is also a practice that is repeated in diverse cultures with important variants but in essence it is a very deep mental and emotional physical detoxification. Similar to a sauna with the difference that the vapor inside comes from very hot volcanic rocks and the construction of the place can be described as an Eglu house. THE LABYRINTH SANARTE

In Ixitlán Beleni honors the traditions and focuses on a reconnection ceremony including the elements of mother earth. She offers Aloe Vera for the body and a warm tea to go with that while inside of the Temazcal which is her own unique touch. The experience can be mainly described as “entering the womb of the earth, the mother” and tapping into that deeper intimate bond we have with it and we have lost or forgotten. Carrying it in a more holistic way but with respect to traditions and passion for life and its manifestations. THE LABYRINTH SANARTE Is a practice that is held daily in Ixixtlán as a community experience and internal work. The labyrinths are energetic epicenters that lead us to our center and from there goes out into the world, from the memory that we are spiritual beings making an experience in the matter. We managed to unify our hemispheres and reconnect with the 360 degree vision of our existence and nature without losing sight of the closest and most vital thing about ourselves... our breathing. As you go around the labyrinth you get to tap into recognizing all that needs to be transformed, transmuted and worked on and brings about a deeper level of higher consciousness and awareness to our life. Beleni Kumara “is” Ixitlán. It was created by a very deep longing in her heart to make congruence in the experience of how she lives. Her philosophy of life that led her to break many structures and to free herself from forms and things that she felt was hurting nature in a very strong way. Beleni in her words also took us into her world by saying “I remember that when I was little I dreamed of a tree that had many different fruits, now I know that they come from different trees. I saw them as ONE and I always dreamed of living in a small round house and little by little my dream was leading me to the creation of one of the places where I feel it is one of the most sacred places in the world for me because I have built it with my own hands, with the help of people who have connected with this space trying to imitate nature. We have the volcanoes in front that are a reference of the love of nature and the complement

THE TEMAZCAL SANARTE

POPOCATÉPETL AND IZTACCÍHUATL VOLCANOES

of the sacred feminine and the sacred masculine. It’s a magical place that brought with it lots of challenges but also great lessons. I thought that all of my close friends would support me and would come join the experience and to my surprise it wasn’t that way, so I hope people from all religions, countries and cultures come because our doors are open to everyone.” This is Ixitlán, a space of connection to all that is. For Beleni it’s been 13 years, building, creating, supporting so that you can arrive and so that you can enjoy the experience of a magical and beautiful place that will give you a great gift. You

come to bless this place with your feet, with your presence you come to help give the means so that this can continue to exist but you also come to receive love, passion and joy. Ixixtlán is waiting for you with pleasure and is there to serve you and remind you that we are one in the real experience of existence. Blessings.

TWIN SITERS OF HOLISTIC HEALING 66

VEDASANAS: CBD + WELLNESS By the twin healers Silvia & Letizia Romero.

WE DISCOVERED THAT SUCCESS STARTS BY CREATING MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL AND FULFILLING LIVES FOR OURSELVES. BUT ALSO TO MAKE AN IMPACT AND A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

Vedasanas CBD + WELLNESS was founded by two twin sisters born in a conscious family that embraced holistic medicine. The twins discover their passion for helping others to heal by themselves. They strongly believe in the healing power of nature as the ultimate healer. As a result, the twins decided to emerge deep into the ancient healing studying holistic therapies. For the last ten years, they dedicated their lives to their holistic businesses. The Twin Healers moved to the sunshine state from Chicago, where they started with their Award-winner businesses, Azul Holistic Spa and Wellness Center. They opened in 2012 their first location in the hip neighborhood West Loop, in 2013 opened Azul River North in Chicago. In 2015, they expanded to a third location to the affluent millionaire’s row neighborhood of Miami Beach, Florida. Their endeavors and hard work were recognized. The twins were nominated as Latina Entrepreneurs of the Year by Chicago Latino Network, and shortly after that, Azul won “One of the Best Latino Businesses” by Reflections Magazine and named “One of the 10 Best Spas in Chicago” by Savvy Savvy. They also were recognized as one of 40 Successful Latinas under 40, featured radio guests on WGN Radio (Chicago), and The New York Times. They are also co-authors of a book, “Today’s Inspired Latina.” Their accolades and accomplishments started flooding into their lives as they quickly gained recognition within the Chicago, Miami, and New York Latina Business Communities. They see themselves as empowered women changing the narrative of women in business. They were happy to see their businesses growing and succeeding after nurturing them with all of their energies, time, and love. However, after all these years of hard work, dedication, and recognition, the sisters faced unexpected external situations as leasing issues and a fire accident in their businesses. The Twin Healers later closed their Azul doors to open a new door, Vedasanas CBD + WELLNESS.

“Every person, at some point in their life, will face difficult situations that pushed them to grow. We understand that every moment of chaos is nothing more than opportunities for wisdom, growth, and reinvention to be the best version of yourself”.- said Silvia, the seven minutes older twin. During this pivoting process, the holistic twins used Yoga and Ayurveda as tools to reinvent themselves. Silvia had practiced Yoga for half of her life, and Letizia studied Ayurveda for many years and earned a Doctor’s degree in Ayurveda Medicine. Letizia, the youngest twin sister, said: “Living by Ayurveda’s nature-based wisdom has changed our life and health forever. It has awakened the best version of ourselves, and we have learned to love and respect our mind and body as a sacred temple”. As twin sisters always go together in life, Yoga and Ayurveda work together to share with the world a complete healing system. It is amazing how they connect with these two Indian healing sciences. It seems that the stars aligned for them to find their purpose in life together. As part of their growth, the identical sisters wrote and published their most recent book: “Twin Healers, Yoga and Ayurveda a Holistic Journey for Healing.” Silvia shared, “We tell our story as a life lesson. In this book, you will discover how Ayurveda and Yoga took us by the hand to align ourselves on the path of transformation. We learned to live from the truth of our being, accepting, being grateful, letting go and living in balance and peace. Today, we see life with the perspective of clarity, love, and trust. We value health, tranquility, and peace of mind as the most precious treasure”. “We believe in the power of all plants. We grew up experiencing the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of cannabis at home. Our dad was an athlete that made cannabis-infused oil and get massages to relax his muscles and alleviate soreness in his body after running marathon races. Combining the power healing of CBD and traditional Indian medicine, we create

Vedasanas CBD + WELLNESS and Ayurveda inspired products to incorporate into your holistic lifestyle to enhance your wellbeing”. - Letizia said. Thought the process of evolution, we discovered that real success starts creating meaningful, purposeful, fulfilling lives for ourselves. Moreover, learn how to use that to make an impact and a difference in the lives of others. Our purpose is to create healing and balance with Vedasanas CBD + WELLNESS and to guide you into your personal journey of transformation to create a balanced, healthy, and happy life with Yoga and Ayurveda.

THE BODY - THE MISSION

In today's reality we get so overwhelmed with the amount of information received through our sensory perception. The nervous system gets extremely overloaded with screens, daily activities, responsibilities and pressure. Such speed of life creates a constant chatter in our minds, "a noise that never stops.” It takes extra effort to enter stillness and experience silence, to hear yourself - your heart - your soul. As we develop that space, we begin to refine our understanding of self and therefore our relationship with the world around us. Innergy Studio opens the door for individuals who are ready to create transformation in their lives through practice of breathwork and meditation. For thousands of years, the yogis of the Himalayas (Yog-Vedantic Tradition) have known that conscious breathwork and meditation result in vital physiological benefits. Current scientific research is able to more thoroughly understand and explain the mechanisms behind the yogic technology. It helps us to alkaline the physical body, reduce stress and calm the nervous system, as we become more present and mindful. Experience it for yourself in one of the classes we have to offer. At Innergy we apply ancient technology of breathwork, sound, kriya and meditation to reach higher states of consciousness. To create heart and mind coherence and to shift from a fragmented perception of reality into a space of unity and harmony. It culminates with a reinvigorated understanding and comprehension of self which results in personal growth and the expression of one’s authentic heart. Join us!

THE SOUL - THE VISION

“The path of deep self-discovery has been my priority for a while. As I evolved as a person and as an Awareness Coach, my vision and mission in life has expanded as well. We all need a safe space and support while we go through change and transformation. Recreating ourselves takes time and courage. I desire to hold that space for each and every one who is ready for the journey within. Innergy has its doors wide open to embrace you, yes You! And guide you on your path to connect to your authentic heart.” On my last trip to Sattva Yoga Academy in India, I experienced a powerful vision of a beautiful space where community comes together to grow as an individual, and unite as a whole. Welcome to Innergy!

MEDITATION IS NOT SEPARATE FROM YOGA - MEDITATION IS YOGA. From Breathwork to Kriya, from trainings to talks, from sound to special events, integrated approach for all levels of meditative awareness
