DEMETRIUS IS KNOWN AS "THE LADY WHO NEVER MEETS A STRANGER" 

Due to her innate ability to put others at ease with her presence, she's able to easily build deep connections with those that cross her path. She is the lady that strangers turn to in line at the grocery store to share intimate details of their life such as personal crisis, worries, fears, big dreams just to name a few. The conversation almost always ends with the other person saying, "I'm not sure why I am telling you all this, you must think I am crazy" as Demetrius smiles and offers words of wisdom or quick questions to help them further explore their issues.

From Depressed, Stressed out - Hot Mess to Owning my own company to teaching others how to embrace and honor their greatness in order to live the life they once dreamed about.

In 2011, I graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

with a Masters in Social Work. I thought that once I graduated and earned those fancy letters behind my name all would truly be well. I had accomplished my dream that would lead me to becoming a practicing therapist.

I keenly remember the days of feeling just like you are now. Life after my accomplishments...they said it would be fun, fulfilling, and oh so rewarding. I was making a good salary as a practicing therapist. I had earned the fancy letters behind my name. I was living in suburbs and driving a nice car.  I looked like I had the picture perfect lifestyle with the clothes to match.

The truth is that I was smiling on the outside for the world to see, yet on the inside I was screaming in misery. The most agonizing part was that I could not figure out what was the ultimate source of my pain. Therefore, I had not idea what to do about it.

I was in an emotional toxic relationship. I was coming home daily from work drained and exhausted. I was overweight and eating like crap. My inner critic was beating me down daily with negative thoughts.

After years of living this way. I finally got to the place where my level of pain was greater then my fear of change. I knew that I had to make a change because I could not imagine spending the rest of my life dreading the next day.

Therapy is great work and I do not regret the avenue I choose as my career. I wholeheartedly believe that there definitely is a time and place for therapy in one's life. However, deep down I knew their was a better way for me to serve. A more fulfilling way for me to be able to serve in my own unique way. A place where I have the freedom to create my own ways to teaching others the tools necessary to heal from pains left unresolved. I had a profound knowing that the misery in my life was due to pain from unresolved past hurts that I had not yet fully healed from. I knew that I was going to have to go back to those dark places and shed the much needed light in order to move on forward in my own life.

Here is what changed for me.

I knew deep down that there was a better way and I just had to tap into it. Looking back it was incredibly clear that I was embarking on another journey of transformation. I knew it was not going to be easy, yet I had no other option yet to save my own life. It scared me to think that I would one day I would leave this earth without having accomplished my dreams or fulfilled my purpose.

Here is what changed for me...

I begin the journey by first becoming aware of the changes that needed to take place and from that making out a plan, a list. Here is a apart of my journey laid out in steps. Step 1: Leave the relationship Step 2: Eating a better diet Step 3: Dive into personal development Step 4: Develop a meditation practice to help clear out my mind. Step 5: Talk to people I trusted. Step 6: Developed a spiritual practice. Step 7: Hired a coach Step 8: Started Fun, Fab, & Freedom Coaching & Consulting

Please understand that healing and transformation is not a linear process.  Meaning that is does not always happen in a beautiful timeline. Healing and transformation can be messy and uncomfortable. However, I am living proof that it is worth it because we Queens are WORTH IT!
