Deanna Merlino has experienced a lot of adversity in her lifetime, but always knew deep in her bones that she was meant for a larger than average life. Always striving for more, things really started when she began a personal development journey in 2017 and soon realized that having a boss or working a typical 9-5 was something that was just no longer serving her. Fast forward after a couple years of building an exit strategy through her growing business as a network marketing professional; constantly jumping from job to job and realizing nothing was going to fill this longing for more, she finally decided to become permanently boss free and jump headfirst into the world of Entrepreneurship. Little did she know that two weeks later, the world was going to completely shut down due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. After a brief moment of panic about the new unknown, a spiritual awakening would occur leading to her decision to pivot with the changing times and shift her focus back to controlling what she could by continuing to improve herself, expand her knowledge with additional Certifications and go virtual with everything she had to offer. Everything changed in June of 2019 when she was to give birth to her first child, only to lose her father unexpectedly on September 11th just a few short months later. With a decision to make, she chose to continue pushing forward and focused on healing, continuing to work hard to give herself and her family the life of their dreams, and has now made it a life mission to reach back and help others do the same, in hopes of helping to make the world a better place one healed heart at a time.
