Today we’d like to introduce you to KJ The Rooted Yogi.
KJ, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey as an entrepreneur started in 2004 when I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter. I thought I would be a stay at home mama, yet my soul knew there was another path for me. For 16 years I consistently built my business in the skin care and cosmetics industry. Little did I know at the time this was preparing me for something that was not even on my radar. The greatest adventure aside from motherhood would be stepping into teaching yoga, leading immersive women’s retreats, mentoring women 1:1 and having an online platform for women’s circles. Two knee surgeries lead to my path of yoga. My intention is to consistently turn any pain in my life into creativity and purpose.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I have been called to a specific mission and it’s taken fortitude, prayer, community support and a solid belief in myself what I’m creating matters in this world. I’m a firm believer anything in life of great importance takes time, energy, love and effort to build and grow. I have tenacity. I am a visionary and an activator. I have learned on this journey I’m not meant to go at this alone. In 2020 I decided to get divorced from my daughter’s dad. This was an initiation to getting to know myself as a woman. This decision brought me closer to my 3 daughters and my mission to empower and activate women to live into their truth and authenticity. It was one of the biggest and most uncomfortable leaps of faith I’ve taken. I think it’s important to talk about theses things that may feel vulnerable to talk about. It’s a reminder we are not alone in our trials and challenges.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I offer and create brave spaces for people to express themselves, learn to move authentically and take care of themselves. What started as teaching yoga classes has opened up into leading worldwide retreats, micro retreats and guiding women 1:1 in my 12 week long mentorship academy. I’ve created an online platform called The Wise and Wild Woman Academy with my 1:1 sessions and an online platform called Sanctuary Sessions where we offer 2 online women’s circles a month. I’m proud of my spirit of faith and trust. I am in a constant faith walk in the way I choose to live my life. One of my great purposes in life is teaching women money is a gift to be stewarded and we’ll always be provided for when we say yes to alignment. We do not need to know the “how” the funding will come in. I’m teaching women to look at the evidence of their lives and how they are provided for. I believe there are infinite resources and when we feel a heart nudge towards an opportunity to go for it. My intention is to teach people to trust themselves and walk by faith, not by sight. What sets me apart is I am committed to the vision planted in my heart and I’m willing to take risks and make brave and uncomfortable decisions to continue to be authentic to myself. By me choosing to be authentic and living a life that inspires me, I lead by living it myself.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
My authenticity, my integrity, my voice and my love are my super powers. I know I’ve been given a voice to reflect encouragement, truth and love to people. I care deeply for people and desire every person in my presence to feel cared for, supported, seen and encouraged. I know I don’t have control over this and I’m not responsible for peoples experiences and I also feel the people who know my heart really get this about me. I know as long as I stay true to myself and connected to God I will continue to grow authentically.
