Vanessa Ortali has been a serial entrepreneur all of her life.  She has always lived for the deeper meaning of life and is adamant on making a genuine contribution to the world around her, even during times of crisis ;)

Over her career she has worked with and trained many fortune 500 companies, leaders and celebrities.  She spends much of her time speaking, coaching and expanding her women's community internationally.

As a business school graduate, licensed coach, and expert in events, self development, community building, and connecting others, Vanessa founded The Ladies Community (aka TLC) in 2016.  TLC has grown into an international company with more than 20,000+ members in just 3 years.

Vanessa's passion, love, optimism and vulnerability will inspire you to connect with your soul and create the life of your dreams while finding inner peace - especially during this time of crisis.

I connected with Vanessa when I became a partner of TLC for the 2020 calendar year, where I’m now supporting her incredible tribe to offer them Business Coaching and support in taking their ideas out of their head and turning them into businesses.

Vanessa and I recorded this episode on the 1st of April 2020, during the Collective Global Experience of COVID, and therefore the bulk of our conversation is about MANAGING YOUR MINDSET AND YOUR BUSINESS DURING THIS TIME.

If you need someone to lift you out of your rut, to help you flip your thought patterns, and to support you navigating the COVID experience - Vanessa is your girl.

She’s not contracting or playing small through this crisis, she is RISING… and it’s beautiful to see all of the work she’s done in the past come to play as she leads her community with strength.

What a crazy couple of weeks it has been. I hope you and your family are staying well & healthy.

One of my TOP priorities during this crisis is keeping our bodies nourished with high quality foods and supplements, while it’s still possible, and I do that by ordering online from a store called Healthy Planet Canada.

Healthy Planet has been taking EXTREME precautions as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and though their stores do remain open, I would suggest taking advantage of their online store - especially because I’m going to share a discount code!

With the best prices, the largest selection, and brands you won’t find anywhere else.. Healthy Planet is a shopping experience that I can stand behind & it has been my #1 choice for natural goods for 5+ years now, but especially in this wild time we’re living in.
