Today we’d like to introduce you to Verina Zonise.
Hi Verina, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My narrative begins in an unexpected place: the conclusion. At the peak of launching my divorce, my life was unraveling. I found myself retreating to my parents’ basement, a stark departure from the life I once knew. Unrecognizable even to myself, I was in dire need of healing and reclamation of my being. It was amidst this disarray that I turned to beauty—my loyal sanctuary and redeemer.
Countless hours immersed in soothing baths and exploring the pages of the Bible cultivated more than just peace; they sparked an idea. From this emerged my skincare line, a tangible testament to the restoration I was experiencing. This venture marked the beginning of a deeper healing journey, focusing on mending my heart and rejuvenating my energy.
People around me started to notice: my skin cleared and glowed, signaling my internal transformation. My energy shifted positively, and I felt more vibrant and alive than ever before. Embracing this renewal, I delved into numerous sessions of healing and self-discovery. This profound exploration eventually led me to become a certified life coach.
Reflecting on this transformation, I see how my own pain forged a path to assist others. From these experiences, I developed the Level Program—a holistic experience designed to empower and guide those facing similar trials. Through beauty, healing, and self-discovery, I found not only my salvation but also my mission to help others find theirs.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The journey has been anything but smooth; the very idea borders on the humorous. It’s been a continuous cycle of rebooting efforts, encountering periods of stagnation and frustration, and facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The challenge of finding my community and the fear that my message would never reach its intended audience has, at times, felt almost insurmountable.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am passionate about exploring the depths of creative expression through holistic wellness, specializing in beauty. My work primarily revolves around getting on your level, where I blend traditional techniques with innovative methodologies to create something truly unique.
Over the years, I’ve become known for my being the best friend that you go to for advice, a characteristic of my work that resonates deeply with my audience. It’s this aspect that often sets my work apart and attracts attention in the bustling world of coaching.
One of the aspects of my work that I’m most proud of is the Level. This particular coaching experience not only challenged me creatively and personally but also allowed me to push the boundaries of what is expected in wellness, beauty & coaching. It stands as a testament to my belief in transformation can start outward and affect the inner, a core component of my creative philosophy.
What truly sets me apart from others in my field is addressing the whole person, not just one area. Be it my unparalleled commitment to excellence, my innovative approach to releasing trauma in the core 12 areas of life, or my dedication to transformation, it’s this approach that distinguishes my work and defines my trajectory in the coaching and consulting field.
As I continue to evolve and refine my craft, I am constantly looking for ways to deliver a bespoke experience. It’s this relentless pursuit of innovation that fuels my passion and drives my ongoing journey in beauty.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
Luck, whether perceived as good or bad, often plays a complex role in one’s life. It has emerge as unexpected opportunities, fortuitous encounters, or serendipitous events that pave the way to success. On the other side, luck can present challenges that seem to hinder progress or create obstacles that require overcoming.
The influence of good luck was manifested by being in the right place at the right time when an opportunity arose and simply benefiting from positive circumstances that were beyond my control.
Conversely, bad luck has appeared in the form of setbacks, accidents, and unforeseen difficulties. However, the impact of these events has enhanced my resilience and perspective. Sometimes, what initially seems like bad luck may actually serve as a catalyst for growth, prompting innovation or a change in direction that ultimately leads to greater success.
It’s important to acknowledge that while luck can be a factor, it’s often the response to luck—how one capitalizes on good fortune or perseveres through the bad—that truly defines the trajectory of life. The blend of preparedness, hard work, and adaptability, combined with the vagaries of luck, shapes one’s path and can turn any stroke of luck into a meaningful part of the journey.
Ultimately, the role of luck is intertwined with personal efforts and decisions, and recognizing this interplay has provided a balanced view of my experiences and the challenges and victories along the way.
