Today we’re excited to be connecting with Shakira Sergent again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Shakira, we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
I am a northern California native residing in Dallas, TX! Life is seemingly evolving more and more as I evolve within myself. I have a consistent thirst for evolving into my highest and best self. I am a classic case of a female Go-Getter! Where my passions aligns so does my energy! I am currently within the industries of Restaurant, Real Estate, & Health & Wellness. Health and Wellness is my newest endeavor that aligns on a soul level for me. I stated previously in an article that I’d start this endeavor summer of 2024 and I did! I am a registered Yoga teacher that also mentors adults and youth within the area of discovering self through love and light! This area of self acknowledges the healing benefits of Yoga & Meditation along with our uncovering traumas and how we can grow through them. I offer 1 on 1 session along with group sessions associated with group chats, daily affirmations, and book clubs! I personally was able to transcend a lot of trauma through self reflections and self taught knowledge through books and wisdom. I do not believe there is a one shoe fits all for everyone. However, I do feel individuals are capable of transcending themselves to a higher level of consciousness & healing through knowledge and wisdom of self! This is where my love of people and Dharma lie; ultimately leading to philanthropy and humanitarianism.

Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
As a Serial Entrepreneur as you can imagine; life is very busy! Being an entrepreneur in general is a faith based process. You truly have to believe in your visions and show up daily for them. There are highs and lows and each day can be unpredictable but you must stay consistent and trust in the process without doubt. The last 2-3 years I’d say have been so of my most challenging within my adult life. I’ve lost a wide range of relationships, personal gains, gained new ones and faced situations that would have possibly broken down a lot of people; however due to my foundation of faith I kept fighting and shining my light! I had a realization that everyone is not destined to be a part of your path although we love and desire them to walk along side us, everyone cannot go. Everyone has their own lessons in life and majority of the time we must walk alone to fulfill our destined path. However, here I am today more harmonious than I’ve ever been and at peace with my decisions of taking time to truly discover self through life lessons! I feel in life some situations and people are around for seasons and others for a lifetime. However, we must be willing to surrender to the flow of life and allow it to unfold as it was intended verse fighting against the flow as you’ll only make things harder for yourself. I am very grateful for my Lotus Soul Sessions Community which is where I lead a flow yoga class where we collectively & privately embark on intimate sessions of mediation, experience energetic soulful yoga, & conversations of transgressions that we alchemize and transmute into our higher selves with love and light! The Yoga classes are held online, in-studio, and during the Spring/Summer mainly by a lake! Mentorships are via zoom and face to face. I look forward to an abundance of Love and Light as we collectively and consistently evolve into our higher selves for our generations to come!

Alright, so let’s do something a bit more fast-paced and lighthearted. We call this our lightning round and we’ll ask you a few quick questions.

What do you want people to remember about you and your brand? What are some of things that you feel are most important, unique, special, etc?
I desire to be remember as a Woman who came from humble beginnings that were sometime broken & traumatic; similar to others. However, through it all I knew I was destined to achieve great things within my family lineage so I held that vision and passion; then transmuted it into a higher level of self knowledge and aligned it with health and wellness practices for others to then transmute for themselves. Who I am, is my Brand! Integrity, Love, & Wisdom! I.L.&W.
