Rosie: I have my dream project coming up, so stay tuned!!!!! I would love to partner up with OWN Network because it’s all about inspiration and to live an inspired life, that is the greatest accomplishment one can have because it creates change in so many ways and unites people and brings light to others and teaches you so many lessons like appreciation and contribution and most of all the importance of life itself. People I would love to work on projects with include Oprah, Deepak Chopra, Anthony Robbins and Dr Dyer. My life has changed in the last couple of months with so much clarity and I choose to live a life of purpose, inspiration and gratitude, all through the teachings they have provided! Skorch: Do you think being a mother has changed the way you do business and decide what projects to be sort of? Rosie: Being a mother opens up your eyes and it pushes you to do the best..... you have little eyes watching you and my kids are so important to me, I want them to grow up understanding the importance of values in all that they do. The importance of gratitude when working with other people and respect when looking for opportunities and when establishing relationships the importance and integrity. I want them to understand their dharma and for them to learn to have those values. I must live that life as well! Be happy make happy .... I can’t teach them something I don’t do myself and in business what you sow you shall reap. When choosing a project, I always ask the question, what message is behind it and does it go with my values? Who will it impact and will it be an opportunity that will create change and inspiration?

Rosie: I want to inspire women who are scared to pursue their dreams, you can overcome the rejection of being overweight, a single mother or just afraid of the unknown. I want to create change and prove that at every size there are opportunities, and sometimes accomplishing the goals takes tons of work and investment of time and patience, but it pays off! I have been a size 16 and a size 32 and I have worked at all sizes but I never took no for an answer. I want to empower women to pursue their dreams and to take action stand up for what they believe in. Life will have great moments and moments that you question why know that everything happens for a reason and everyone has a purpose a story to tell. I want to leave a message of beauty, love and empowerment behind and to create a huge impact where ever we go, it takes a team of powerful women to do this. I want to contribute to creating lasting change in this industry like it has never been seen before! Skorch: So, after you create the change and impact you seek, and I know you will!! In the end, is there room for love? I know you are a romantic who believes in true love, but there are only so many hours in the day. Inquiring minds want to know :)...Is Mr. right near? Rosie: I am in love with love and Mr. Right is out there...I am just not ready for him right now. I am focused on my kids, health and career and when I do something, I do it 100%! I am single and love it and the best part is that I am happy with being single and I have learned so much about myself! Mr. Right will be here in the future, as for love there’s always romantic movies to watch.....

Skorch: I know that the women you effect are close to your heart too. Through everything you are doing, what is it you’re trying to accomplish with them? What is your underlying mission with the women you empower daily?
