Have you ever read the New Testament? Since I have not personally witnessed any cases of exorcism, I have always wondered how casting out demons would be relevant to our day. I have come to understand that negative thoughts and self-talk are the modern-day demons we must constantly cast out. I believe we all have …
Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
A few days ago, I had the pleasure to be a guest on Dr. Paul Jenkins’ podcast Life On Purpose. It was a fun interview because he is an advocate of Positive Parenting just like I am. I love sharing my story because it is my life mission and one of my passions to make …
Mother’s Days are kind of bitter-sweet because, to be honest, growing up, my mom and I did not enjoy a close relationship. Now that we are closer, she doesn’t celebrate any holidays, so I am not free to express gratitude to her on this day because it would offend her. I do have an awesome …
Last year, I taught a members-only 90 minute virtual class for the Women Speakers’ Association called “Get Your Message Out By Implementing a Killer Blog Strategy.” It was a really fun experience because I love blogging, I’m quite a blogging advocate, and content strategy is such a big part of what I do as a mompreneur. …

I had great teachers who inspired me, motivated me, and taught me to love learning. I didn’t get enrolled into homeschooling …

Because I have two amazing artists I call daughters, many would think I am a Frida Kahlo. I am surely NOT. I used to love drawing and painting as a child, but I had plenty of chores to do and plenty of businesses to run. It was very intense and, in those days, I would …
When I created my business, I vowed to be the Queen of it. I have a tiara and everything. But most importantly, I have a proclamation that establishes boundaries, rules, and requirements to partner with me as a mentor. Ever since I can remember, I have learned from my dad that “not everyone is invited …
