Freedom to Be Me main service:
Freedom To Be Me offers an online community for African American and women of color that are lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual. Freedom To Be Me encourages women to Embrace with who they are mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. They are able to Connect with other like-minded women for support, obtain advice from our experts and find the Inspiration to live their best life.
What inspired you to start it?
I was inspired to launch Freedom To Be Me as an African American woman that embraces her love and attraction for women, I didn’t have a safe place to discuss challenges about my emotions, coming out, and feeling confident with my choice to embrace who I was. Creating this community for women to provide them with the opportunity to meet yearly for fun travel and retreats were placed on my heart
Any interesting facts that you can share about your industry?
Many women of color find it challenging to be true to who they are because of religion or family members not being accepting and open that it affects them mentally and emotionally. They are looking for others that have faced challenges and have found a healthy state of being. They are seeking for upscale events with other like-minded professional women to network with. Freedom To Be Me, offers just that and more.
Most popular problem you help people solve?
Freedom To Be Me helps women work through the emotionally rollercoasters related to embracing who they are. We connect them with women through an online community that is safe and discrete to seek advice, support and empowerment. Inspire them to achieve personal goals related to professional growth and dreams of being an entrepreneur.
How did you first hear about our network and why did you join?
Simone was my coach and I learned about the network as an added client bonus!
Favorite Mentor and why?
Margaret Spence she is a successful small business owner that demonstrates resilience. Her ability as an author, speaker and consultant has given me an “I Can” attitude.
Book You’d Recommend and why?
Who Moved My Cheese-
We can’t become complacent and assume that things will always remain the same. We have to keep our eyes and ears open to change. We need to always have a backup plan for the future.
How do you stay motivated?
I stay motivated by surrounding myself with positive individuals, I read affirmations, and make time for myself. I greatest motivation is driven by the kind words that I receive by the impact that I have placed on someone’s life because of their interaction with me on or offline at FreedomToBeMe.com
What’s a bold move you took that turned your business around?
Showing my human side (emotions and fears), honest, and open with my readers. They enjoy being able to relate with my experiences. They enjoy that I provide a personal touch.
What’s a networking tip you use to help you gain and/or maintain your relationships?
Engage people and try to learn as much as you can about them. Ask how can I help you?

I know, I know…it’s so hard to make time for “Me Time Rituals”, which is why I love finding neat websites like these. You can do some of these things from the comfort of your desk! I stumbled across this page by mistake and was just taken in. I love waterfalls and it’s my favorite place to ‘go’ when I meditate. Come join me at these beautiful waterfalls. Music is relaxing. Enjoy your mini-escape.

What the heck is Reiki you ask? Well, here’s the 411.
The Japanese art and techniques of Reiki help loosen and balance energy in your body. The energy of Reiki will bring a state of deep relaxation, promote healing, relieve stress and produces an overall sense of wellness.
This treatment will leave you feeling peaceful and refreshed. The technique is completely non-invasive. Transmitted through the hands, which are placed on or above the energy centers and meridians of your body, Reiki restores a sense of well-being and balance.

Before I started to meditate today, I set an intention to see what I’m going to write about. The word that came to me was GRATITUDE. How perfect was that, since my whole life has changed, because of my being in gratitude.When I go back down memory lane, I was always in the mindset at looking at what I DIDN’T HAVE in my life or what I felt I should have. (I know you know about the shoulds, right?) Well, since that wasn’t working so well for me…I really had to look and see what I needed to do to change.
I decided to incorporate gratitude into my life. I went out and did small things first, like letting someone get in front of me when I was driving, or get in front of me while waiting to check out either at the supermarket. I even paid for someone when going through a toll! It felt so great to be able to do something that people weren’t even expecting it. Their faces said it all! My heart was so filled with joy, happiness, and love.
Gratitude has also shown me that by being grateful for all the little things first, my life has become so much richer. Just like when I open my eyes in the morning. Before I get out of bed I thank the Divine for my good night’s sleep, for my soft pillow that supported me throughout the night, my great new mattress, great health for myself, family, friends and community of coaches. I set up my day to have fun, joy, and laughter. I ask the Divine to use me wherever I’m to go, then I let go and trust. So, let’s be in gratitude for all the things we have in our lives!
Gratitude to me is like a warm blanket of love that changes how you view life. Gratitude is a gift you give to yourself and others, it’s a feeling of happiness and fulfillment. It’s a word that has to be put into action and once it does, you’ll enter a state of peace and love.
This beautiful word has become my prayer of love for all of us. Try these exercises in your journal and see what comes up for you…
1. What would be something you can do today to show your gratitude?
2. Make a list of what your grateful for.
3. Everyday look and see what you can do for yourself and others and just put it into action.
I believe your lives will look quite different and you’ll feel GREAT!!!
My wish and pray of all is to just be open to implementing gratitude into your life.
With much love, peace and gratitude,
Coach Rochelle Schwartz
