SOUND FAMILIAR?
If you are overwhelmed and falling short of inspiration, I know how you feel. I’ve been there.
​
I’ve worked too hard, worried too much, and experienced the fruitfulness that life has to offer too little. I spent much of my adult life tired, unfulfilled, stressed and feeling short of where I should be in life. I always felt a need to do more to reach happiness but I’ve refocused my ways.
​
I'm Teresairis Gonzalez...
I started this website to share my story and help you discover ways to invest in yourself, whatever that means for you. I’ve been making big and small changes to live my life with intention and peace of mind.
​
​
I am a blogger and a mom.

I love learning from others and creating impact through intention. I have various degrees in Psychology, Biology, Higher Education Administration and Business Administration. I’ve mentored women across a wide range of personal challenges and goals. In a professional setting, I’ve taught college classrooms and led multiple teams through growth and change management. I also love to cherish the simple moments with my daughters and family, spending time reconnecting with myself at a spiritual level and finding value in solitude.
Growing up as a first generation latina, I’ve had to endure generational expectations of who and what I should be as a woman – both at work and home. Ever since I can remember, I took school seriously, dated to settle, lived in survival mode, and made personal decisions in the shadows of always seeking approval and acceptance.
Fearing the opinions and disappointment of others, I physically alienated myself, married in secret, and coped through life being a pivotal emotional support system to others without letting anyone be part of mine.
Approaching my second daughter’s birth, I realized that the quality of my life was non-existent. I felt hollow and disappointed. I defined my worth through others and could not answer who I am, what I truly want for myself without prioritizing someone else in the picture. Up to that point, I let fear and acceptance of others dictate my life. On the inside, I lived always worrying, never truly enjoying life. On the outside, I looked like I had it together. This behavior I learned through my upbringing, but I knew I needed to make a change, as this is not a way of life that I wanted to teach my daughters.
I went through a separation in my marriage right after having a c-section to a newborn, packed up my home into a rental storage and moved across the state, not knowing how everything will fall into place as a single mom. Simply leaning on faith. While this doesn’t define me or this blog, it has had a huge impact on the lessons learned along the way.
