Yes, there was a time I almost gave up, not on life, but on myself. I was exhausted from trying to be everything for everyone — the perfect mom, the perfect wife, the perfect professional. I remember feeling like no matter how hard I tried, it was never enough. But that breaking point became my awakening. I realized I didn’t need to give up …. Read more >>>

Yeah, there was a time I almost gave up. Not because I didn’t love what I was doing — but because it felt like I was talking into an empty room. I’d spend hours creating, editing, analyzing every detail, and still… there were days when the response was silence. No engagement, no feedback, no sign that it mattered to anyone. Read more >>>

Yes, there was definitely a time when I almost gave up, in fact, I actually did. I can’t remember the exact year I was featured in Voyage Dallas Magazine, but it was around the time I first started my company, Kirstin’s Care, back in 2014. I was so excited to launch my business, but it failed miserably. Read more >>>

There have many times, but of them stood above others. In November of 2023, I felt I was alone and had no purpose. I couldn’t get a grip on internal love for myself. I just felt lost. And because of that, I tried to take my own life. Read more >>>

There were moments when I felt like giving up, especially while trying to juggle my career and build my brand at the same time. I would put in long hours and sometimes it felt like the results weren’t matching the effort. What kept me going was reminding myself of the bigger picture and why I started in the first place.

Absolutely. I’ve been writing for most of my life, but, after a few early successes with short stories in my early 20’s, I could not manage to find a publisher for my longer work. After years of trying to crack the writing market, and 14 — count ’em 14 — trunk novels, I decided to stop writing. Read more >>>
Ray Sharp
Yes — in my late 20s I faced serious struggles with alcohol and drugs, and there was a point where I nearly gave up on myself and my career. Everything changed when I read a film script entitled RUN by David Ahearn. I put the script down and made the decision to turn my life around. Read more >>>
Nikol Nash
There was a time when life felt heavier than I could carry, between being a mom of five, pushing through the pain and challenges of brittle bone disease, and trying to hold multiple businesses together, I truly questioned if I had the strength to keep going. The setbacks, late nights, and constant juggling made me feel like maybe it wasn’t meant for me. Read more >>>

Early in my journey into aesthetics, I faced multiple rejections before I finally got a yes. It was discouraging, especially since most of what I do now—botox, fillers, aesthetic facial balancing—was not taught in nursing school. I invested in advanced training out of my own pocket, sought out mentors, made connections, and taught myself the nuances of the craft. Read more >>>
