Check Out Akila Gilyard’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Akila Gilyard.

Hi Akila, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Finding purpose and direction in life can oftentimes be challenging. However, this is where lifestyle coaches can help people find purpose and guide them to achieve what they truly desire. Recently, I launched a new book “From Inmate To Purpose.” Turning life lessons into meaningful purpose, “From Inmate to Purpose” follows the journey of Akila Gilyard and how I navigated my life growing up in a restrictive church setting, to being incarcerated and forced to take on the role of mother and protector all at such a young age.

My lifestyle coaching services give businesses credibility. When a business has completed the process of becoming incorporated and brand its presence, it can make a favorable impression on investors, making it easier to raise capital. Plus, in some cases, there is perceived permanency and reputability on the part of clients/customers when a business takes the time to brand. 

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
From being a teen mother to being released from prison and having to make significant sacrifices to live a life of purpose, Akila presents the groundbreaking truth of what can happen when you set your sights on internal change for your future. By taking control of her narrative, she leads the way in introducing to the world who she is, who she was, and who she is not. Pushing for those to explore their own inspiration and driving forces, Akila has written this book not only as a self-healing process but also to show others the triumph that awaits when you overcome the obstacles that tried to shut you down.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I believe that by silencing the noise that often plagues our minds, we are capable of creating so much more than we ever thought was possible. Being an Author and life coach Akila Gee has faced her own life-changing challenges that made her realize that there are no shortcuts in life. Akila is now dedicated to helping and building individuals to reach their highest potentials. Akila is well known for her compassion and willingness to help others. I am always creating ways to encourage others to always find the positive in any situation.

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Covid-19 allowed me to hit the reset button my life and I started taking myself seriously.
