“I believe in a conscious lifestyle focused on physical, mental, financial and spiritual well-being. SheSapiens was created to help other women reach their full potential, find a purpose in life and adopt habits that allow them to live longer and happier lives.

After almost 10 years working as a professional ballet dancer, I got used to work in a very competitive environment among women. Female rivalry hurts us. Any actions where we compete and undermine each other is never a positive thing. These types of behaviors are often driven by insecurity, where we don’t believe in our own abilities to get us ahead. So then we compete because we see others as a potential threat to our own success. Women should be able to share their accomplishments with each other and encourage other women to succeed and really embrace each other’s capabilities.

I believe in the union of women, offering each other support, promoting kindness and confidence so that we all feel empowered to go after our dreams and create a better world.”

Evolution is collaboration, not competition.
