Lack of confidence and a misunderstanding of self-worth is something that has been plaguing us since the beginning of time. For one reason or another, we as women can often struggle with being fully comfortable in our own skin. And in this digital age of the selfie, discovering who you are and learning how to become satisfied with your own journey can be such a challenge. Well, this masterclass on confidence, worth, wholeness and discovering who you are is our answer to that.
I struggled for years with low self-worth; I just never felt good enough. I carried that into my adulthood until one day I took a strong look at myself in the mirror and realized that something had to change. My low self-worth was rooted in a fear of rejection and a need of approval of others. Once I started to do the work and I discovered who I really was then I started to see change, beauty and magic happen in my life which is what you’ll learn to do in this class.
I want you to know something – it’s OK to not have it all together all of the time! In order to truly change your circumstances, you’re going to have to be honest and vulnerable with yourself first. Being a strong woman does not mean that you have it all together, your character is rooted in how you CHOOSE to respond to what happens to you. Take back the power of other people’s opinion of you, the only opinion that matters is the one that you have for yourself. I know that can be a challenge but I will show you how to become the confident woman you have been called to be and take back your power in this class.
Jim Rohn has this quote, “When you work hard at your job, you will make a living. When you work hard on yourself, you’ll make a fortune.” It’s time to put the same amount of energy that you do towards your professional success to your personal success.
This is what you’ll learn from this class:
- Secrets to discovering who you are & how to distinguish who you are from what you do
- Strategies to overcome low self-worth
- The power of your story and how it reveals the essence of who you are
- Discover the root of your lack of self-confidence
- The difference between self-worth and self-confidence and how your thoughts are tied to each
- Methods to transform how you value yourself
- How to become a woman who is whole
- Steps to start loving all of you
- Why and how fear, guilt, shame influence your worth
- Taking back the power from any masks you’ve worn
- Character assessment, core value and fear assessment exercises
- The difference between internal fear and external fear and discovering where your “internal”mice are coming from
Please note that when you download this class, along with the audio MP3 there are also TWO worksheets included with the class. Make sure that you download those as well.
It’s time to become the woman that you have been called to be so that you can honor what you have been called to do!

“A dream without goals will remain a dream.”
“Having no goals is like getting dressed up with no where to go.”
I love researching and learning about the strategies, habits, resources and tools of people who have managed to achieve their dreams. In my research, I’ve witnessed several common denominators and one of those is that all successful people are goal-driven and goal-oriented. These goals will essentially shape the actions that you’ll take in order to achieve your success.
Success is not something that you chase after, it’s something that you’ll begin to attract by the person you become. The person you become is consistent of your routine, character, habits, words you speak, actions and will shape your destiny.
There was a study done at Virginia Tech University in which students were asked whether or not they had goals. Most of the students said that they didn’t have goals, another group said that they did have goals but never really revisited them and then a very small group said that they had goals, written-down which were they reviewed often. The last group all went on to become millionaires – do you think that’s a coincidence?
We all want to become successful and you are to measure your own success. The world shows us one version of success, but true success is achieving a worthy goal. Success for you may be starting that non-profit empowering teen goals, success for another may be launching a tech company, success for another may be getting completely out of debt and buying a house. Whatever it is, I want you to understand that it’s possible!
That vision that you desire to manifest is one that only you can achieve, that’s why it was placed in your heart in the first place. I cannot achieve your vision for you but I can use what I’ve learned to help you realize that dream. I’ve managed to accomplish authoring my book, Take the Limits Off Your Legacy and getting it published, executive producing web series & launching teen empowerment programs like our Made to Succeed Academy because I am extremely goal-oriented!
Your goals are not something that you set at the beginning of each year and go back to business as usual. There are methods that you have to apply in order to help you actually accomplish your goals. There are resources and strategies that are available for you to win but you have to be willing to the work.
You are going to walk away from this class learning the following:
- Strategies to help you achieve your goals (One-by-One Method, Cause & Effect Strategy)
- The Do’s of creating an effective vision board and the power of attaching images to your vision
- Embracing the right mindset to help you achieve your goals
- Clarity in your motivation for your goals
- Sources of inspiration that your goals will bring
- The benefits of being goal-driven
- How to make your goal SMART definitive statements
- How to develop action steps to help you achieve your goals on a weekly basis
- A framework to guide you on how to work at your goals daily
- The effectiveness of written goals
- How to stay motivated in achieving your goals
Your season of victory is not years away, it’s NOW if you would be willing to apply the discipline that’s needed to help you manifest your vision. Next year at this time, your life can look totally different and the choice is yours. Our lives are a composition of the choices that we make, in order to experience a better life then it will require you to make better choices.
You may hate the job that you are currently at, you may be struggling with debt, you may be yearning to launch that women’s conference or start that business or write your book – whatever it is, I want you to know that the beginning of you manifesting your vision will start with a decision and with a goal. It’s time to take the potential that lives inside of you from an existing possibility to a reality!
Take a moment to meditate on you realizing your dream. What does it look like to you? What does it feel like?
Well, it’s time to make it happen!

I know I am not the only one who has struggled with fear or who has had to face (and continue to face) giants that can seem overwhelming, difficult, discouraging and out right scary at times! I had to quit my high-profile job in the music business a few years back in order to pursue my dreams of Embrace Her Legacy and that was met with dozens of fears; I feared rejection, the future and failure. I have had faced dozens of giants since then and I still have fears and giants that I am dealing with, you are far from alone.
In this age of social media, we can be fooled to believe that we are the only ones who are struggling while everyone else is on vacation, succeeding, prospering and living their lives like it’s golden but I have learned that’s so far from true. We have to understand that everyone is putting on an “aspirational front” to a certain extent and you never really know what someone is going through behind the scenes. There have been so many times where I just wanted to post “If you ONLY knew what I was dealing with right now and how many giants I have to slay in order to move forward! I just want to cry myself to sleep! – which I have no shame in saying that I have because sometimes you feel like all you can do is cry.
There are times where I wished that successful people would be more transparent about their struggles – especially the struggles, fears and giants that they experienced at the beginning of their journey of success. You ever just wanted to get Oprah on the phone and ask her how she did it? Yep, me too.
The truth of the matter is that all of us who are on this journey of success will have to defeat giants. Giants are those trials and tribulations that are challenging, uncomfortable, testing and sometimes hurtful. The giant can be a job loss, business failure, financial lack, being hurt my someone you love, losing a loved one, becoming ill, marital issues and so much more. We all will have to face seasons in our lives that are harder than others and those seasons will stretch our faith and capacity. We all have fears that we deal with on a daily basis and if we do not recognize them or deal with them from the root then we will find ourselves meditating on thoughts of fear, speaking words of fear and acting upon our fear.
There is no way that you are going to be able to realize your dreams and live a limitless legacy if you are a servant to your fears. Remember this: Anything that you cannot say “no” to, you are a slave to. The tricky thing about fear is that it comes disguised as so many other things, one of them is practicality. Trust me when I say that your dreams do not have to be practical in order for them to be valid.
Well, after recognizing my own fears, dealing with my own giants and realizing that many other women were dealing with their own fears and giants, I have decided to do something about it and I want to help you boldly face your fears, graciously defeat your giants and embrace your victory in my FREE class!
I wanted to make this free for all of you ladies because I want everyone to kick their fear to curb and live in the purpose that you were called to live! I am tired of fear ruling our lives, whether it’s fear of the future, fear of success, fear of financial lack or fear of being alone – I am committed to helping you triumph over your challenges! Here is a brief synopsis of what I will be covering on the call –
- How to identify your fears and deal with them from the root
- The difference between external fears and internal fears
- How to fight your fears with a plan
- How to exercise your faith and the authority God had given you
- How to defeat your giants by using your Five Senses of Faith
- Daily action steps you can take to fight your fear and defeat your giants
I’m a believer in God and His Almighty power. I am a child of God and He has given each of us the power to not only walk through our fires but to not get burned in the midst. You have authority living on the inside of you and I believe it is my duty to show you how to tap into that power, so let’s get it going and make sure that you come to class ready with a pen and notebook to take notes!
I look forward to empowering you to live fearlessly and to conquering your giants with glamour, grace and style! Enjoy the class!
XOXO,
Maria I. Melendez

If you’ve read my book, Take the Limits Off Your Legacy: A Woman’s Guide to Unlock Purpose and Vision then you know that I am on a mission to empower you to remove any and all limits in achieving your heart’s desires. Whatever the vision is that you have for your life, please understand that it is VERY possible but the possibility begins in your mind first.
We put so many limits on our thoughts, happiness, impact, potential, capacity, God’s power and your future and I’ve noticed that many of those limits are self-imposed and they manifest in our minds.
I am always saying that you will attract what you believe which is a proven universal law that has stood the test of time. I believe in God and His Almighty power. In the book of Proverbs, it states that as a man thinks in his heart so is he. (Proverbs 23:7).
That’s pretty intense and proves that what you think has the power to change the course of your destiny.
I want to help you transform your mind because your thoughts will dictate the words that you speak, your words will dictate your actions, and your actions will dictate your character and destiny.
So I thought it would be great for us to come together to say “No More Limits!” I want you to take the limits off yourself, your potential, your dreams, your future, your happiness, your legacy and God’s love for you. God wants us to prosper and succeed in all we do but He asks us to believe it first (which I know can be hard to do) but you have to look at your life with the eyes of faith and not of fear.
Therefore, I want YOU to join my #NoMoreLimits campaign. The overall goal is to create worldwide conversation, inspiration and a community with the purpose of encouraging women and girls to surpass perceived limits of achieving your legacy and boldly declare a life that embodies having no more limits on the possibilities of your future success. I want women and girls to make a public declaration of what limit they are saying “no” to!
This is how you join the campaign –
1. I want you to think about what limit you have been holding onto or allowing you to hinder or distract your success?
2. Make a decision right now to say “No More!” to that perceived limit by stating out loud, “I am saying No More Limits to…”
3. Take a selfie stating “I am saying #NoMoreLimits to…”
4. Share that image with us on Instagram, use hashtag #NoMoreLimits and tag @embraceherlegacy
5. We’ll be re-posting some of our faves and you just might see your image included in our viral campaign!
Here are a few examples below –
My hope is that you do this with the intention of breaking barriers in your life and enter into your season of victory. Remember that you will attract what you believe and I want you to believe for #NoMoreLimits!
Feel free to keep up with me on Facebook, Instagram (@embraceherlegacy), or Twitter and let me know how your life with No More Limits is working for you.
Until then.
XOXO,
Maria I. Melendez
