| About The Author |
|
218 | |
For nearly a decade, Cynthia Occelli has embodied Venus, the goddess of femininity, and helped other women discover and claim their right to be joyous, beautiful and loved by a masculine man.
A former middle-school dropout who became an unwed mother on welfare in her teens and later went on to obtain a law degree, Cynthia's life has been anything but conventional. She has worked in acting, modeling, real estate, architectural design and interior decorating as well as being a life coach for women who long to connect with their inner power and feminine heart.
Her own experience began when she fell in love with a man who believed women are capable, powerful and feminine. The union resulted in a happy marriage, a daughter and their dream home in Bel Air, California, all of which was brought to a sudden end when her husband suffered a brain bleed that washed away his memory, personality and their marriage.
Faced with sustaining two children, a $1 million mortgage, two businesses and a shattered heart, Cynthia found her own inner strength. She learned how to use masculine energy as a tool and relied on the healing joy of being feminine to carry her through. Through her coaching and writing, she now helps women do the same.
