Welcome to the Lotus Flower Podcast I am your host Dr. Pamela Robinson.
The Lotus Flower Podcast aim is to educate, equip, and empower our listening audience while sharing spiritually uplifting, culturally relevant educational topics.
The Lotus Flower grows in the deep mud, far away from the sun. But, sooner or later, the Lotus reaches the light becoming the most beautiful flower ever. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower.
The very delicate flowers are likened to that of the lives of our podcast guest - many of whom lives symbolizes strength like the Lotus Flower, rising up through muddy waters to become a beautiful, unscathed flower.
Our guest today knows something about how the Lord can turn scars to stars! My friend and sister in the Lord, Adriane Young, founder, and creator of Pretty Being, which she established in 2012, is near and dear to her heart. It’s an apparel company and lifestyle with a positive purpose that strives to redefine and expand upon the meaning of pretty. It’s a company whose main objective is for little girls, young ladies, and even adult women to embrace them
God given prettiness and recognized prettiness comes in many forms and it has more than one meaning. Adriane is dedicated and passionate in bringing corrective awareness to the word pretty, because as a child the word pretty was sadly not associated with her outer and inner features, she was born with. As a child she was overweight and had a learning curve that hindered her from excelling at lightning speed. As a result, not meeting “society standards” of what “pretty is and is not,” led to Adriane developing low self-esteem and being a target of being bullied by her peers. Thankfully, her mother would repeatedly use the words brave, bold, and strong to help build up Adriane’s confidence and years later give her the courage to form a business doing the same for others. Through apparel, creating Pretty Being, especially now being a mom of 2 little girls, has Adriane on a mission to encourage, motivate, and inspire females of all ages to embrace their unique prettiness and share best practices on how to love and respect themselves. She creates shirts with catchy phrases after the words Pretty Being, like Pretty Being BRAVE BOLD STRONG. Adriane is a firm believer that words have power! She personally has seen what words can do. When words are used positively, they can help and heal. At the same time, Adriane believes, when words are used negatively, they can hurt and harm. This belief not only has her wanting little girls, young ladies, and adult women to wear clothing with uplifting phrases, but also has led to Adriane creating a Pretty Being journal, which can be used to write down daily affirmations to help build a healthy and positive mindset.
In 2021 Adriane expanded her company. On February 15, 2021, which happened to also be her mother’s birthday, Pretty Being launched its very first Pretty Being Self Care Box! Pretty Beings all around the world are now able to order a box of their own! Each box contains a Pretty Being journal, pen, mug, mirror, candle, and Pretty Being Phenomenal cotton t-shirt that reads BRAVE BOLD STRONG!
