Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
-Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear in that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us…
As we let our own Light shine,
we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Hey, how’s it going?
I’m Najela (NIGH-jel-uh) (she/her). (My name means Shining Star, just in case you were wondering!)
I’m your friendly neighborhood jane of all trades. When it comes to embracing (and monetizing) your multiple passions, I help you thrive with less hustle and more joy. I’m a multi-passionate alchemist and creative visionary for entrepreneurs.
My Story
Being multi-passionate was ingrained in my DNA at an early age. Despite having limited resources, I had a unique opportunity to embrace my passions as a child.
I wrote stories, plays, made movies, danced, learned Spanish, played the saxophone, trumpet, and casually dabbled with the piano.
Like most people, the joy, passion, and creativity gets bullied out of us by adults who tell us to be practical.
For me, there’s always been a balance between passion and practicality. My goal in life was to get a job I loved that allowed me the balance to pursue my true passions. That led me to becoming a school psychologist.
If you’ve ever been told to follow the safe path, only to have that path lead right off a cliff, then I’m sure you can relate.
In 2019, my district went on strike and my nice cushy job as a School Psychologist was in danger. I spent the next 5 years optimizing my 9-5 to allow me more time to pursue my passions. I love the excitement of starting and monetizing businesses.
