Meet Anastasia Bolden of Dallas-Fort Worth

Today we’d like to introduce you to Anastasia Bolden.

Hi Anastasia, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My name is Anastasia Bolden. I am a 51 year-old Native American. I have overcome incest, molestation, drug addictions that my parents went through and other childhood traumas.. I am grateful that I made it. I grew up in South Dallas, where Saint Phillips Episcopal school was my safe Haven, where Dr. Terry flowers gave us a place to call a second home although it was nothing more than a community center, but it was where we received the most acceptance and the encouragement we needed to become more than we could see within our community. I would not change anything that I went through as a child because it made me who I am today and because of seeing my mother suffering, drug addiction and as well as the sexual abuse that I endured I made it out and I made it to the end and now I’m shining my light to help others who have went through similar things to become better people and to realize that no matter what you go through is how you come out on top that makes the difference

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road is not always been smooth. It has had its share of waves, but at the end of the day you still end up, able to float on the water. One of the greatest things that I felt that I have accomplished in my life, was getting to know myself and removing all of the labels and barriers and ideals of my family that no longer served me for my best and highest good. Some of the struggles that I went through were understanding my gifts that I was different from other people that I was a natural, born leader and the times that I were in that I was in TAG & Laureate should have been encouraged so that I could know that I was different. The different labels like ADHD, bipolar, post, traumatic stress disorder, and trauma. Diagnosis made it hard to accept and love myself.. I feel that one of the biggest things I did was to allow myself to be and get a better connection with my creator and trust that medication could not be a mediator between me and God if I wanted a better life I had to trust the process.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a motivational speaker, a certified mental health coach, a stand-up comedian, a licensed insurance agent an ordained minister, and overall, I am just a vessel for the creator to take care of this place that we call Earth, which is the heart of God. What sets me apart from others is my ability to transcend understanding to where everybody can get the message by being neurodivergent. I know how to reach people through the spiral and I understand that everything is not linear. Creation itself is not even linear..

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I do consider myself a risk taker because I’m always gonna bet on me and it’s no matter what I’m up against. I’m just that type of energy and when I tell you wrist taker I do things like getting into crypto and investments and I’ll go get licenses and not have an idea like I’ve been an energy broker. I’ve been a life insurance agent just different things right now. I’m in school for nonprofit management and so even at age 52 I am still learning and still open minded and so where everybody else is giving up at this age, I’m still at their starting over and doing it again to be better so I’m all about the risk without no risk. There is no gain.
