Basilia Frankel.

We can't control the things that happen to us, but we can control how we choose to see and interpret our experiences.

I couldn't control being born in Nigeria, getting sent off to boarding school at age 10, or spending 4 years at a rules obsessed Catholic university; which made me despise authority, leading to a rebellious and chaotic adulthood.

I bottled up a lot of resentment and anger for myself, my parents (ever so religious) and my environment for the harsh realities it served me daily, because I felt I didn’t have a choice in the matter. My life sucked for a while.

But the thing about going through the fire is that somewhere in the thick of the flames; you realize that nobody is coming to save you. Alas! you have a choice; either you burn to the ground, or find a way to make it out alive.

Lucky for me, I chose life and started the treacherous journey towards healing and self-discovery, thanks to therapy.

Now in hindsight at age 31, married with 2 kids, living my best life in Montenegro; I realize that every bad choice, sucker punch rejection and disadvantage has built my resilience, refined my character and added to the richness of the life I now hold so dear.

Helping others has become my outlet and I've GOT you! Not just for when hard times strike out of the blue, but to help you sail through the good times with gratitude and contentment. Because a healthy mindset is the goal despite it all.

I believe deep down we all know what we need to do and my approach is to listen, probe and give you perspective, so you can do what's best for you.
