God is always talking to us. Often in the ways that feel "ordinary". But they are far from that. On November 14th, 2025 @stackauffman told me "without a doubt you will have a TEDx in 2026". At the time it seemed impossible. I had ZERO prospects for a TEDx and to be honest, I couldn't see myself as a TEDx speaker. My internal dialogue sounded like this: "Who am I to give a TEDx talk?" "Why would people listen to me?" "I am just a random Bulgarian girl, this stage is too big for me..." Today I stumbled on the message while searching for something else and I got goosebumps. I had completely forgotten about it. Here is the eerie part... On March 14th, 2026 (same day of the month!), I delivered a TEDx talk that literally wrote itself. I haven't shared the story, but I couldn't sleep one night, I was in a legit "possessed" mode. I stayed up all night just writing like a maniac, no AI needed! That's how this talk was born. I was meant to deliver this message, I just didn't know it yet. Sometimes the most important messages God has for us are hidden in casual everyday conversations and they don't feel like anything "special" at the time. Has God hidden messages for you in ordinary everyday life? Share your stories below👇

Day 3, and what a way to close out the inaugural Backstage Access Presents Napa Valley 🍷✨ Before heading home, we raised one final glass at Pahlmeyer Winery for a beautiful send-off brunch with unforgettable performances by Tom Siletto, Kasey Tyndall, Maggie Rose, Shinedown, and Grace Potter. Then we ended on the highest note at Whetstone Winery for Women, Wine & Song—an afternoon overflowing with love, inspiration, and powerful women supporting women. Hosted by Leslie Fram, Bobbii Jacobs, and Stacey Kaufman, and featuring an incredible lineup: Maggie Rose, Sacha, Kylie Frey, Allie Colleen, Morgan Myles, Julia Cole, Emily Ann Roberts, Charly Reynolds, Hannah Dasher, Erin Grand, and Kasey Tyndall. The perfect ending to a truly unforgettable first year. Until next time, Napa 💫 #napavalley #bapnapa #winecountry

Ann is headed to The Rising’s Executive Women’s Retreat to speak on something close to her heart: Casting a clear, compelling vision for your life, one that’s rooted in your values and aligned with where you’re meant to go. In a world that pulls us in a hundred directions, clarity is a radical act. It’s time to stop chasing someone else’s version of success. And start naming what matters, owning your desires, and designing the life you want on purpose. Because if we don’t define the vision for our life... the world will do it for us.

Two years in the making.. so much hard work, learning a whole new world and flying across the world 🌎- further than I’ve ever flown within 24 hours I was on the TedX 🔴 red dot carpet, with lights, cameras, amazing speakers and my Merik right up front. Everyone in the Philippines is so lovely. I made new friends who flew in from all over the world to deliver their “inspire” message. Mine will be released on YouTube, when it’s time. My title is “The Unstoppable Power of Believing in yourself” where I talk about the hard things, how to build esteem to get through anything and make your dreams come true. Thank you #tedxforbespark for changing my life forever. This talk I pray helps someone. if you’re brokenhearted, I promise you there’s something so much better around the corner for you. If you feel because you learn differently that you’ll never be smart enough, challenge that you just learned differently, which makes you unique. If you experience grief and all your tools failure, I promise you that if you build self-esteem, you can become unstoppable. #tedx #tedxspeaker #tedxforbespark #manilaphilippines #roadtotedx #unstoppable #selfesteemableacts #sitwithit #feelthepain #release #trauma #sobercompanion #nextlevelrecoverassociates #healingjourney #godismystrength

🌟 August was full of growth, connection, and gratitude. 4 team sessions + a trip to California for my second year at Folsom High School leading an athlete leadership workshop alongside my partner @stackauffman 🙌🏼 Being able to pour into athletes and teams like these is truly the best part of this work. So thankful for the opportunity to do what I love and to work alongside such amazing people 🫶🏻🧠 #mpc #mentalperformance #mentalgame #sportpsyc #sports #athlete #teams #mindsetcoaching

K tip extensions will give you hair that feels thicker, fuller, and weightless. K-Tips are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural hair, giving you a transformation that looks and feels effortless. Here’s why my guest are loving their transformations: ✨ More Volume – Add fullness in all the right places without sacrificing movement. ✨ Custom Length – Whether you want just a little extra or a dramatic change, your look is tailored to you. ✨ Seamless Blend – Each strand is color-matched so no one knows where your hair ends and your extensions begin. ✨ Weightless Comfort – Enjoy hair that feels light and natural, even with the added fullness. ✨ Styling Freedom – Curl it, straighten it, or wear it naturally—K-Tips move just like your own hair. ✨ Confidence Boost – Walk out feeling polished, powerful, and completely YOU. ✨ Low-Maintenance Luxury – Long-lasting wear means less upkeep and more time to simply enjoy your hair. K-Tips aren’t just an extension—they’re an upgrade to the way you feel every day.

Moments like these I want to pinch myself. 😆 . @semashow has truly been something I have felt a part of since the first time I attended at 16. Like a place I knew I could call home. My tribe. My people. . I knew I would be part of it all. All I wanted to do was help anyway I could. It’s always an honor to be asked. To help this amazing automotive community grow in anyway I can. It was an honor to be part of the @sbn_sema women leadership symposium at the 2024 SEMA Show representing @realdealrevolution and interviewing these ladies. What an amazing moment to share the stage w/ amazing women like @lynstjames . The women (and men) I surround myself with truly inspire me. . Make sure you have a circle of people that inspire you. That keeps you growing. Pushing your limits. Seeing ALL that life has to offer. Because anything is possible, it’s only you that holds yourself back. No excuses. . Tough love 😘 . @bajaforged @highoctanehustleofficial @dickies . #toughlove #anythingispossible #anythingispossiblewithgod #god #cargirl #cargirls #truckgirl #broncogirl #femaleentrepreneur #femaleempowerment #femalefounders #femaleboss #femaleowned #femaledriven #driven #dickies #dickiesworkwear

It’s been so fun seeing everyone’s word or theme for the new year! 🎉 Creating a mantra or theme is a wonderful way to create meaningful goals versus “shoulds” or “have tos.” I don’t have my mantra yet, and it can take time into the new year to develop one. That reminded me of something important: before deciding your 2025 mantra, pause. Reflect. Celebrate 2024—what you’ve learned, embraced, and achieved. Thanks to @stackauffman , I tried something new: an AI tool, coauthor.studio, to capture my journey. It shared my 2024 “superpower” as 💫transforming achievement into joyful fulfillment.💫 It also showed my highlights weren’t just achievements—they were about authenticity and connection. Whether sharing the vulnerability of my hearing loss, the beauty of kindness, or heart-centered reflections on my Italian heritage, these moments reinforced that our stories are what truly connect us. If you’re ready to reflect, tools like this or my New Year’s guide can help. Download it via #linkinbio. If you’ve already found your word for 2025, share it below! 🌟 If not, take your time—it’ll reveal itself when you’re ready. What did 2024 teach you? Let’s celebrate the lessons before diving into new intentions. Share below! 💬 -————— ✨Here are more 2024 Highlights✨ • Launched “The Fulfillment Formula” training program • Spoke at @northwesternu about emotional agility and leadership • Expanded “Flow + Flourish” and “Be Magnetically You!” programs • Continued with @forbes_councils , sharing insights on authentic leadership Three posts that captured our journey of authentic transformation: ✨”Ti Voglio Bene!” on heart-centered authenticity ✨”Embracing Hearing Loss” ✨ “The Power of Kindness” To every high-achiever feeling pressure to hide parts of yourself: Your authenticity is your superpower. #happynewyear #newyear2025 #lifecoach #careercoach #feminineenergycoach #InnerBrillianceCoaching #certifiedlifecoach #heartcentered #heartcenteredbusiness #spritualentrepreneur

Over the past few months, I’ve been part of Heather Monahan’s Mastermind program, collaborating with an exceptional group of ambitious individuals. Together, we’ve pushed boundaries, challenged limiting beliefs, and unlocked new levels of confidence. The support and encouragement from my new friends have been invaluable, creating a winning environment where we all grow together. Tools I’m learning: • Mastering the art of compelling keynote speaking • Strategies for authoring impactful books • Techniques to amplify personal brands We’re all driven by the common goal of making our mark in our respective fields, whether through powerful speeches, thought-provoking books, or innovative business strategies. As I reflect on this experience, I’m grateful to my mentor, @heathermonahan , for the growth I’ve achieved and the connections I’ve made. #PersonalDevelopment #KeynoteSpeaking #Unstoppable #SelfEsteem #ConfidenceCreator #HeatherMonahan #Leadership #Mastermind
