HER STORY ⟡ Lewanda Blackshear
Today we are meeting Lewanda Blackshear of AroomofTherapy1111!
Tell us about you and your journey:
I realized that my background in contract negotiations aligned with my gift of being a Spiritual Teacher and Guide. I identified that it didn't matter if it was my personal life or professional life, helping people solve problems and gain perspective came to me naturally. I am always called to professions and relationships that allow me to mediate between two people or energies. I started AroomofTherappy1111 in 2017 but really began to get it off the ground in 2022.
I have a partner and two daughters, and we are looking forward to adding a dog to our family very soon.
Tell us about your business and why you started?
I am an intuitive healer, podcast host and Tarot Reader. I began to understand my gift at an early age. I had this innate ability to just see things that would come true for others and myself. I didn't quite understand it was a gift until I was much older. It is my ability to speak in a way that allows anyone to understand. I was breaking down communication barriers between people with ease.
One day, while having a conversation with a friend, I began to speak about things that I had no experience in. I was able to advise them on topics I had never spoken on. It was her response to what I was saying that finally allowed me to accept that I was extremely intuitive and a guide. I had been being used as a channel for Spirit to communicate with people who couldn't identify God's instructions or hear the answers to their prayers. It took some time to get used to the responsibility, as I feared that I was wrong. But that was not the case. People began to seek me out more and more for my guidance. So I decided to offer it on platforms as a way to make sure anyone could hear the messages that were being delivered through me.
What do you love about being a business owner?
I love creating my own schedule. But most importantly, I LOVE the freedom to speak passionately about topics many are afraid to discuss. I get to dig deep into painful topics without the fear of being ridiculed. I do understand that people will always judge others and question their motives. For those people, I offer them any episode of AroomofTherapy1111 podcast. They will quickly see that we are all connected through our pain and desire for freedom.
What type of impact....
Motivate! Motivate! Motivate! I hope to encourage people to identify their true needs and desires minus the conditions they were raised in and to seek out freedom that allows them to be their authentic selves. Many will see that their true wants and desires are very different from the things they thought they wanted. I can create a win-win where others see none.
What advice would you give yourself from 5 years ago?
Invest in your craft. Get comfortable with being in front of the camera.
What does Beauty mean to you?
Beauty to me means freedom and comfort. It means healthy decisions that produce a healthy and HAPPY lifestyle that is easy to maintain. Beauty means whatever you need it to mean in the moment.
Who or what inspires you?
My mom first, as she told me at a young age that I would break curses. God secondly because I am in constant awe at how everything works together to meet our needs.
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
I promise you, half of what you think you need to do is wrong. We have been over-conditioned and over-worked for generations now. Freedom comes with the decision to release certain expectations and allow The Universe to show you what you truly desire.
Anything else you would like to share?
