My Story
I help successful leaders stop sacrificing their health and personal life in the pursuit of success and instead achieve self-mastery through authenticity, so that they can find personal fulfillment, while increasing their impact on the world.
I help you leverage science to create a life you CRAVE so you can look forward to waking up each day.
In a world where you can be anyone or anything you want to be, just be you.
I was born and raised in a small town in central California where people dream of getting out and most never do. I have lived in Beverly Hills, CA for over 10 years now.
I spent my first 20+ professional years working in male dominated industries, trying to prove myself. I took over my family business, as a single mom. I wore my overtime like a badge of honor…I was exhausted!
When I was forty-one and my kids were trying to choose their colleges, they were afraid of making the wrong choice because they had no clue what they wanted to be when they grew up.
I remember looking at my daughter and saying “Ha, I’m 41 and I still have no clue what I want to be when I grow up.”
Somewhere along the way, in my care for others, I forgot to care for myself and my dreams. I started supporting others around me, or the dreams that other people had for me…I realized that I had become “A People Pleaser.”
This was what we may call the beginning of my mid-life awakening. It started as a crisis, however, as I learned new tools and started allowing myself to take space and speak up for what I felt and what I wanted, I realized that this doesn’t have to be a crisis; I could turn this into an awakening, It doesn’t have to end all bad. This can go any direction I want…which lead to the big question: What do I want?!!!
Through this process, I have been able to lose 30+ pounds, overcome depression and dependencies, giving myself permission to live life with purpose and passion. I realized that I was going through life numb, in survival mode, trying to be what I thought everyone needed me to be.
This prompted my discovery of NLP: Neuro Linguistic Programming, which helped me realize that I had complete control over my results and my reality. I was able to reshape my mindset, leverage the science of the mind to overcome limiting beliefs, let go of negative emotions and release judgement. I learned to embrace my passions, my uniqueness, my failures, or as I call them now: my learnings and I learned to love and respect myself, living my Life Brand.
Everything is possible when you realign yourself to your purpose. When you know with confidence why you wake up each morning, you will be able to say Yes with Enthusiasm and No with Purpose and Conviction.
Because every time you say yes to something that does not align with your purpose and your mission, you are dimming your light, muting yourself from being the person you are capable of becoming!
Having worked through all of this myself, I am at a point where I am in love with my life, living my soul purpose. I want to share this with you!
Testimonials
An emotion is not something we are, it is something we feel or are experiencing.
And we can change how we allow things to "make" us feel...
If you are dealing with a lot of stuff in your life that is triggering you and you want to have better responses and not be triggered by others, so that you feel more in control and can enjoy your life, you are not alone.
If you want to make a serious shift in how you respond to people and situations, DM me so we can discuss how you can achieve that through Personal Breakthrough Coaching.
I invite you to change the narrative: you are not hurt, you feel hurt…you are not angry, you feel anger…
We are not our emotions. An emotion is not something we are, it is something we feel or are experiencing. Why is this distinction important? Because our unconscious mind takes direction and also wants to prove us right. So when we identify with something, our brain will find us evidence to prove us right, which means if we are hurt, or broken, we will see things from that perspective and we find more things that are hurtful to us.
Are your emotions running you down? DM me to learn more about how coaching can help.
The wisdom of a palm tree...
Do you know why palm trees bend? I had thought it was that they lean in the direction of the sun and as I thought more, that didn't make sense, because they don't all lean to the sun.
Palm trees actually lean into the direction the wind is blowing. This is how they survive hurricane strength winds. They don't resist. Instead they become flexible leaning into the wind, so they don't break from the pressure.
How can we apply this to our lives? When was a time that you leaned in to the discomfort and were stronger for it?
The main reason things upset us is because we are judging them and giving meaning to them. We are judging the person, their behavior, the situation...The fastest way to achieving inner peace is to be present or mindful in the moment, and release any judgement. See if rather than judging, you can just observe, without emotion.
If you have a hard time letting go of the judgement, you can try my 5 step CLEAR method:
Compassion: Is this person doing this as an act of love or asking for love?
Lens: What lens or perspective am I seeing this from? Can I see it from the other person’s perspective?
Explore: How does this make me feel?
Acknowledge: What does this mean to me or about me?
Release: How can I let it go? Can I give it a different meaning? Is it true? Does the fact that I know it is not true allow me to easily just let it go? Will it matter in 5 hours, 5 days, 5 weeks, or even 5 years?
“Those who have a ‘why’ to live, can bear with almost any ‘how’.” - Victor Frankl
One of the morning prompts in the MarkahVida Daily Bookends, is “What are you dreading today?”
It is so important to address the elephant in the room, and more importantly, assign the meaning to it. Why is it important? Through the why, it will become bearable, and no longer carry the negative emotion we may harboring related to it. This process of identifying our feelings and aligning them to our values, allows us to be more intentional with our time and get more reward out of it.

A friendly reminder✨
To live a life you crave, you do not have to become a new person. You just need to change your perspective and learn to make your mind work for you. Everything you need is within you.

My wish for all women of the world:
My wish for you is that you feel supported to be yourself. That you shine bright, never dimming your light for or because of others. That you dream big, celebrate yourself and those around you. Surround yourself with people that bring out your best and celebrate with you.
I hope that you are fierce and courageous in following your passions, purpose, and dreams. Know that "no" is not the final answer, it is just feedback to change your approach, your ask, or who you are asking. Don't give up.
Courage, fierceness, and bravery are words that I hope you embrace with whatever flair you naturally add to them. This can be done in the most subtle and gentle way, or the loudest and outspoken. Whatever you do, do it for you and your dreams for the world, because I know that you have a vision and dream.
In a world where you can be anyone or anything; be yourself...and know that you are and always have been enough and you are never too much.

“The first step to changing your life, is to change your perception of yourself.” - Rebekah Hogan
We view life through the same lens of how we view ourselves. When we don’t know how to love ourselves or celebrate ourselves, when we don’t feel worthy at our deepest core, this shows up in our perspective of the world and other people in the world.

I keep hearing this narrative that "change is hard." And I'm going to say, that it is as hard as you believe and want it to be. I will go a step further and say that we need to challenge ourselves and ask if that is true, or is this what we tell ourselves and use to continue to tolerate things in our life that we no longer want. Things we know we 'should' change, yet we don't because "change is hard."
My question to you is: What if it weren't hard? What would you change today if it was easy?

New Year's Resolutions and the amount of people that fall off or don't follow through with their resolutions, brings to mind Aesop's Fable of the Tortoise and the Hare...It is really about the belief in yourself, and the constant effort, rather than binge pushes to achieve the goal. The Hare is over confident and did not take the competition seriously.
As we look at goals and resolutions, perhaps our old habits are like the competition. If we think we can make a hard push and then rest, we will fall behind or fall victim to our old habits. Be the tortoise...take the time to plan, create the belief within yourself that you can achieve the goal, then keep up with micro-efforts: constantly, and eventually you will win.
