Today we’d like to introduce you to Jade Fleming.
Hi Jade, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My Brand Be Thyself by Alyssa Love Creations (named after my daughter) is so important for me, now realizing how important it is to know who I am. For so many years I felt as if I was trying to be so many people and do so many things not realizing I was losing myself and didn’t know Thyself.
In 2020, it became so clear to me who I wanted to be and it was of utmost importance to protect the person I was becoming. So many changes….change began with Loving Thyself and in no way allowing my self to be compromised…yet, a constant reminder to “Be Thyself”. It’s all about being authentically you! Especially now in a time where idolization of others will have you compromising who you are. It’s not about being right or wrong it’s just about being you, protecting your peace, making sound decisions, Loving Thyself and everything that makes you, you! From childhood to adulthood it’s never to late to “Be Thyself”.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Starting my business has been challenging but the rewards of the connections I am making is all the more exciting. I had no idea how to start a business I had to ask a bunch of questions to many different people who I knew and to some people who I became social media friends with.
Everyone looks at the success story, while not knowing their struggles. My flaw is wondering if everyone would get the message I am trying to convey and accept it. At the same time knowing that it’s all bout how it makes me feel. What message am I trying to send out there, and most important what example am I setting for my daughter? How do I want her to see me in this process of me Being Thyself and not being so perfect.
I want her to know it’s ok, just continue to do you and enjoy doing it.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I have been in healthcare for over 10+ years. I have my bachelor’s in Health Administration and currently am a Staffing Analyst for the Emergency Department. I have always been the one to help people as that is extremely fulfilling to me so when it came to my brand I knew it had to mean something. I wanted to make sure that there is a message in what I do. I have a sense of pride in who I am and the message I am trying to get out there to everyone.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important lesson is still learning myself and learning how to show up as the best me. Being self-aware has been the most rewarding as I have gotten older. Knowing that everyday is a new day to start out again, make any changes or improvements in my life. Learning to know me as a mom, daughter and just as an individual is a lesson within itself. There was a time when I was lost in who I was and how I was going to continue in that space. The beauty in life is knowing you are living life as your most authentic self even when things maybe good, bad, or indifferent. Life is not easy but it damn sure is beautiful!!!
