Meet Glaiza
Author, Motivational Speaker, Mother,
Student at Living Your Best Life
As a little girl, Glaiza spent most of her time journaling and writing poems. At the age of 17, after the tragic passing of her boyfriend, she wrote several books worth of journaling for therapy and healing. Having lived through many of life’s challenges and maintaining her joy, she was encouraged to write a memoir. In 2012, she began her journey writing and posting motivational content as a way to help others not only heal, but see the beauty in broken pieces. Nearly ten years later, she has finally released the untold stories that will not only change lives, but live out the change that begins from within. Healing starts here.

Why Waking Up On the Inside?
It's not about the Slipper Sis
How many of us have heard the Cinderella story and focused on the glass slipper and not on being more like Cinderella? We want the man, the relationship, and the happy ending but do we have the character to uphold that desire? Do we have a healthy mindset about what it is we can bring or contribute to the longevity? Do we have the independence to not be so reliant on waiting for someone to make us happy that we forget to do the things that make for a happy life?
Things like maintaining the healthy relationships and friendships around you; enjoying nature or finding things to ground you; keeping a positive attitude and outlook at all times; being the peace in spite of the chaos that comes. Are we grateful? Are we helpful and make great teammates? Are we patient, kind and good listeners who also give sound advice? Do we have an upright stance on life that even we it gives us lemons, we can garnish meals or make lemonade with it?
I challenge you to be more like Cinderella. And when you least expect it, when you've held on to the hope but maintained your happiness in the meantime... your Prince charming might very well show up or be on his way. And should he be taking the scenic route or be stuck in traffic on 94, or even detoured from construction, at least you can know that in the meantime--you lived, you laughed, you made a difference, and became the best version of you so the world is still a fairytale because of your existence.

"There are tragedies in her story that you hate for anyone to ever experience, but she takes you in to feel like you're right there. So compelling and written beautifully."

"The book didn't just dwell on motivation; it also pointed out the ultimate factor of living--the God factor. God is interested in us, and your book corroborates this using your story. So, it serves as evidence for those who might have flinching faith in God."
