I was once interviewed about how I became an expert in my field, and the interviewer asked me to share 7 strategies to become an expert. I could have very well shared my 7P Guerrilla Positioning System (GPS), but interestingly enough, I chose to not focus on industry tips, and to share a random collection of …
Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
There’s a difference between being positive and being uh… how can I say in English? In denial. And while I love being pregnant because it is a miracle, the truth needs to be told: there is nothing glamorous about it and, pregnancy bliss, is a blatant lie. With Elisha, I spent all 10 months sick …
Earlier this week, my girls and I had the pleasure to read “Mama’s Purse” by AJ Irving, a positive mom of two preschoolers in Boise, Idaho.

One aspect I love about my work as a Content Strategist and Story Strategist is that I get to work with talented, inspired writers who are motivated by world-changing ideals. Publishing is one of the modules I teach in my Mompreneur Mastery training programs. I wholeheartedly believe that becoming a published author is a critical …

While I am sure every Christian parent in the world is familiar with Proverbs 22:6, I also know some doubt just how accurate this statement is. After all, some children go astray of the path they were trained to follow, they break their faithful parents’ hearts, and may end up just doing the opposite of …
From FORBES, the USA Today, CNN, Fortune, the Washington Post, the New Yorker, the New York Times, and even SHAPE magazine, Sheryl Sandberg seems to be everywhere these days. Despite the controversial comments throughout the media, The Chief Operating Officer of Facebook is described as “Confidence Woman” and “arguably one of the most powerful women in America” …
