I created Bowyliss to inspire curiosity and empower people to connect with themselves and illuminate their inner knowing. I implement the “LIVES” approach to help you identify areas of growth, integrate your head with your heart, and become your whole self.
My role is not to tell people who they should be. We all have different backgrounds, experiences, thoughts, and traits that shape our lives. I empower self-discovery, self-acceptance, self-worth, and self-love so that you can in-turn lead your life with an open-mind, curiosity, truth, and love.
A journey of self-reflection
I created Bowyliss (pronounced bow-why-liss, like “bow” as in a bowtie, “why”, and “liss” like “bliss”) after a year of personal struggle. Filled with anxiety and not knowing how to move forward, I started taking daily walks, listened to podcasts, read, and did guided meditations. I let my curiosity move me. Instead of taking frantic action avoid my uncomfortable feelings, I sat with everything. I calmed my nervous system and reprogrammed limiting beliefs. Eventually, I heard my internal voice that seemed to know the right answers. I remained still, listened, and took the daily action from my heart space instead of my anxious mind. Serendipitously, I came across scientific evidence supporting the concepts I was learning on my journey. The evidence pointed to the idea that having an understanding and connecting to self enables connection to a greater, underlying source of knowledge. Most importantly, it gave me permission to believe. I don’t have the answers, but I have endless curiosity to delve deeper, and I want to continue to share the journey and pique your curiosity.
Bowyliss emerged from an inkling that became a louder call over time. I’ve combined my passions, curiosity, knowledge, and skill-set in science, leadership, public health, mental health, and community. My background is grounded with a BSc, Specialization in Pharmacology, and I was introduced to the leadership principles of self-understanding through my Master of Public Health, Specialization in Leadership degree. I honed my skills while learning about the role of community and giving back through my leadership roles at the Junior League of San Diego. My combined experiences led me to my role at Inlight Institute, where I delved into the importance of values and purpose in strengthening mental health.
Bowyliss inspires CURIOSITY to explore what makes up your LIVES. Start anywhere on this journey to understand and illuminate what makes up your whole selves. Learn how science and spirituality are intertwined. Get inspired to create from this space of oneness.
For those curious about the name Bowyliss, it has special meaning as it is a combination of my kids’ names.
Wishing you a Joyful Journey
