Dortha’s short story

Prior to starting the business in 2004, Dortha was a litigation paralegal in a very demanding field of law that required her to work a great deal of overtime and she began to discover that her heart was much too delicate for the type of work she was doing and a change was needed.

She started her business as a research assistant for her very first client and it began to develop from there. Every time she would ask Dortha to learn something new, Dortha was always a “yes”…which led her to learn how to write code for websites and she really tapped into being a total techie nerd – she loved it and continues to learn, and grow her skills! Professionally, Dortha Hise is the COS (Chief Overwhelm Solver) of Pretty Smart Virtual Services, a full-service virtual assistant company specializing in rescuing their clients from overwhelm. She is also the Director of Adventure at Summit to Your Success, a choose-your-own-adventure-focused healing portal where she helps others to learn about the healing power of nature. Dortha loves helping her clients to choose their own adventures by freeing them up from their to-do lists.

Today, she partners with clients to provide a 30,000-foot view of their business and help strategize and provide solutions for the implementation of the tasks that overwhelm them – social media management, writing blogs, updating or re-doing websites, product launches, research, newsletter creation, short and long-term planning and so much more. We like to consider ourselves partners with each client – keeping their bottom line in mind and their goals in sight.

 

Dortha holds a B.S. from the Loyola University of Chicago in Psychology, a B.A. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Criminal Justice, and a Certificate of Achievement in Graphic Design from Sierra College. After enduring the loss of 28 people in her life in a 2-year period, Dortha started Summit to Your Success, a "choose your own adventure" healing portal where she shares with people how to tap into the healing power of nature.

As a Life Coach, I get to meet and touch the lives of people from all walks of life. This is an amazing opportunity that not everyone has the pleasure of doing.

Well, I am not just a life coach, I'm an Empowerment Coach and I serve Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers!I help them empower themselves to find the joy that was lost in their childhood and release their trauma.I help them rediscover who they are without having to play the role of the victim anymore. I want to see women who have spent their lives hiding from their own potential, be empowered to take back control and create a life they can be unapologetically happy living. I want to see all the dreams of these women, which were crushed by their mother’s abuse, come alive and be a reality. Their fear and limiting beliefs are left behind in the past as a story and lesson in life but now is not the narrative they live by.Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers will have the strength and self-worth to not be overshadowed by their pain but use it to push forward and break the insidious cycle of abuse!!

About Margaret

Margaret McCallum is a Scottish author and artist. Her children’s book and Amazon best-seller “My Little Birdie Told Me All About Colours”, which she wrote and illustrated, was published on October 18th, 2021.

Margaret spent 20 years working in financial services, and in the last five years specializing in contract management. She has now swapped writing contracts with writing and drawing/painting stories for adults and children.

Margaret describes herself as a teenager, “The Female Adrian Mole”, constantly writing diaries between 13 and 16. However, reading back on them, there is little about what she was really thinking or feeling. During a life coaching course, Margaret was introduced to journaling. Living in a safe space where there is complete trust, she can now write all the thoughts that go through her head and the feelings that she experiences, the good, the bad, and the ugly.As an artist, she doodles, sketches, and scribbles every day. Her art is bright and vibrant. However, it got her thinking about those who cannot find the words or are afraid they might be picked up by others. She realized that her doodles, sketches, and scribbles were all a form of journaling and something everyone could use to release their inner emotions freely and safely. This is how the concept of the Be-More-You Creative Guru was born.Margaret is looking to inspire everyone, young and old, to live the life of their dreams and to let people know there is no limit to what they can achieve. She has created a FB group for people who feel stuck or are on the cusp of change and feel the fear.

She wants:• Fathers to know that they have a vital role in their children’s lives.• Parents to see that they need to put their own oxygen masks on before supporting others.• Business owners to know that the success of their business is down to how much they believe in it.• Everyone to know it is essential to set boundaries, especially empaths (of which she is one)Margaret’s workshops and courses are designed to teach adults to invite joy back into their world, and be truthful to themselves about what they desire, fear, and feel. She uses theory from the law of attraction, positive mantras, and investigating alternative meditation and various types of journaling, using written and pictorial methods.

Meet Ohouo who helps women become more resilient when they transition from heartbreak💔 to ecstasy + self-intimacy

Ohouo’s short story

Ohouo’s life trajectory has been dotted with several breakups forcing her to create lessons from personal experiences to heal her wounds and inner self. After every breakup, she questioned her worth and lovability. She even changed her identity with the hope to be accepted by others.Every breakup was a rejection and death, which triggered my fear of abandonment and intimacy. Code-switching was her way to seek approval and validation. Getting intimate with herself and knowing her worth was key in her healing journey.As a consequence of her journey, Ohouo has vowed to help women feel vibrant, lit up, and in love with themselves as they unlock their healing codes to shift their heartbreak pain into ecstasy and self-intimacy.This quote says it all about Ohouo:

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing” by Leo F. Buscaglia.

For me, it is a reminder that perils will always happen until she takes her last breath, so she must strive every day to be the lead character in her life, and so shall you.Yes, PAIN is inevitable but SUFFERING is a CHOICE. So TODAY let’s choose JOY in the midst of pain.
