The Starting point
Welcome to The Starting Point! I'm Rodna Ntabeni, your personal development and mindset coach, speaker, and new personal cheerleader. This is your safe space to dream big, plan smart, and take real actions towards the life you've been imagining. Around here, it's all about working smarter, not harder, because success doesn't have to mean burnout.
We'll focus on building good habits, staying motivated, and creating a life that feels fulfilling and authentic to you. It's not about being perfect; it's about progress, passion, and purpose. So whether you're here to crush your goals, rediscover yourself, or just soak up some fresh inspiration, you're in the right place.
Let's do this together. This is The Starting Point.
