"I think learning that the Universe is an intention fulfilling machine, that there is a spirituality that we all have, that you want to make sure that you are connected with your spirit is essential. And that you ask for the things you want, not the things you don't want because the Universe can't discriminate between those." -Tyra Jarvis
The Versatiling of Reinventing Yourself
Tyra Jarvis has had to retool her life many times. She's worn an array of hats: consultant, project manager, blue collar roles, and ultimately an entrepreneur.
Now through her company Kefi Coaching LLC, she advises business leaders in connecting passion, dreams, and the power of their mind to create a meaningful path. Transitions can be frightening, but they can launch powerful change.
Her toughest transition was the loss of her husband to cancer, a path that tested everything she knew and forced her to confront a life she didn't expect. During her journey she's learned to say yes, embrace change, and be real for others. Jarvis believes it's the path to an extraordinary life.
