Hi, I’m JANEL GONZALEZ.

I am a writer, mother, and wife living in Los Angeles. 

I'm a recovering perfectionist and reforming people pleaser.

I honored myself by prioritizing my spiritual growth in the second half of my life. I'm now teaching others to do the same by lifting layers of societal pressures and expectations engrained at an early age. I am showing people how to access their inner guide and have them connect to a higher power.

Previously, I was in PR/Marketing for luxury hotels & destinations. I then joined the world of events as an event planner, but that ended after long hours and a high-pressure work life that seeped into my sacred family and self-care time.

I love real estate, travel, and home design and have adopted a more intentional lifestyle through minimalism.I am passionate about music and dance daily to release energy. I find being in nature incredibly healing. I love good food. The healthier, the better. 

I read like a crazy person, everything from classic literature to memoirs, neuroscience, and spiritual books. I am a “student of life” and constantly learning from difficult experiences, spiritual teachers, and my children! 

I am excited you are here. I look forward to helping you RISE and honor the life meant for YOU!
