Invoking The BE In Human Beings With Ronita Godsi

My guest is Ronita Godsi. Not only is it amazing that she lives in Antigua but her life story is amazing, too. Now, a little side note. I knew her life story ahead of time because she has four daughters, and one of her daughters has been a guest of mine back in 2022 on this show, Talia Jacqueline. If you have not read that episode, you’ve got to go and read it. It’s an amazing episode. It’s out in Austin, Texas. One of my favorites out there in the world is Talia for what she does and who she is in this world.

Ronita is Talia’s mother. In that episode, you get to read part of Ronita’s life story when Talia was talking about her life story. Ronita’s bio is a little lengthy. Sometimes, I chop them in half or whatever. I want to read you the whole bio because it’s chock full of wows because it is a chock full of wows when you read this. I want you to feel the full breadth of Ronita’s life story. We’re going to give her an opportunity to fill in the gaps and so forth, like we usually do. Here is Ronita’s bio.

Ronita is an adventurous and resilient soul. I’m going to pause here for a second because when we’re done with our conversation, those two words, adventurous and resilient, are going to pop out from our conversation. Ronita was born in Nigeria, raised in London, and now feels blessed to call Antigua home. Having escaped a toxic marriage, she struggled and embraced single motherhood with her four incredible daughters in Los Angeles, learning profound lessons in love and humility.

Having worked in diverse retail sectors and online platforms, she uncovered her passion for coaching and mentoring. With her innate ability to perceive the unspoken, she assists others in unraveling their stories, gaining profound awareness and reconnecting them with their inner wisdom. Once her youngest daughter left for college, she embarked on an island-hopping adventure that eventually brought her to the healing shores of Antigua. We’re going to get into that.

Inspired by our transformative experience, she created the Master The 8 experience, that bespoke coaching journey that invites individuals to pause, reflect, and thrive against the enchanting backdrop of the island. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her on the tennis court, immersing herself in languages, exploring cultures, and savoring delectable cuisines.

 

 

Her vision extends to living and working across 40-plus islands, uplifting others and leaving a trail of happiness and inspiration, echoing the timeless words of Mother Theresa. With that being said, Ronita, welcome to the show. I can’t thank you enough for taking that valuable non-infinite resource in your life called time to come spend it with us and talk about your life story and what you do and all those things like that.

Thank you, Andy. I appreciate that.

I like to do in the beginning, as the audience knows I say over and over again, I love storytelling. We’ve read quite a bit about your life story in the bio, but why don’t you take 5, 10 minutes or so, pick a spot in your timeline of your life and take us from there to where you are now?

I think the one that comes to mind right now is a sense of hope because I remember in LA when things were at a very dark place. I didn’t even know about coaching at that point. I didn’t even know what it was. If you had told me that there were certain things I could do and I would end up living on an island feeling happy 80%, 85% of the time, I don’t think I could have wrapped my mind around it. I think it’s Jack Canfield talking about when you can drive from LA to New York at night and all you ever see is 200 feet ahead of you with the headlights. When I look back on my life, that’s how it played out.

I could only see the next step in front of me. Sometimes, even that was insurmountable. Early on, I made a deal with myself that there was some days that all I would require of myself was two millimeters. If I could do two millimeters that day, that was a blessed day. That expanded. I’m incredibly grateful to be where I am now, living life on these terms because I don’t think they were conceivable before. A lot of life lessons learned along the way.

I would have to imagine trying to raise four daughters on your own, that you were very much in survival mode. Seeing only 200 feet or 200 meters in front of you comes from that mindset, attitude, or place of, “I’ve got a lot on my shoulders. I didn’t expect to be here at this place in my life if you asked me 10, 15, 20 years ago. The best that I can ask of myself, given this situation is to get through the day.”

Yes, definitely. Those girls were my lifeline because if it hadn’t been for them, I could have easily checked out. At times, that pain was so intense. These four amazing girls that I felt responsible for were my impetus to get out. Yes, I was in survival. Yes, it was challenging. No judgment on it, but I had very much a victim mentality. I couldn’t understand why things were happening. I’m a people pleaser, that whole dynamic of codependency and being with someone that had narcissistic tendencies, plus a whole lot of other things I had no idea about. It’s been a journey of understanding what made me who I was then and what I needed to do to become something different and experience something different. Yes, absolutely, survival.

Where were the four daughters born? Were they born all four in LA or back in London?

They were all born in LA. For different reasons, we couldn’t leave the country. They’re all raised there. I think my youngest was three when I finally got out. I was in LA for 30 years, I think. That was very much home. My mom, who lived in London, God bless her, would help with rent and food when needed. It was a challenging time.

Did you ever find an opportunity to have some alone time, some me time?

No. I think I was holding down 4 or 5 jobs at different times. I raised the four girls on my own. There was no other help coming in. When I first got to Antigua, I remember waking up the next morning and my first thought was, “Who needs what? What do I need to do?” There’s nobody here. It took me a week to understand that I didn’t have to do anything. I didn’t have to prep anything or take anyone anywhere. I could be and breathe. It was so foreign to me that and now, definitely working with clients, creating that time for them to replenish is absolutely crucial.

 

Just being and breathing gives you time to replenish.

 

Let’s make a distinguishment here for our audience. My coaching centers around leadership and is about how leadership is the essence of your leadership. You take that same ilk but do it from a relationship perspective. Quantity and quality of relationships in your life is represented by how well you have a relationship with yourself.

It’s a self-relationship, if you will. I use the same terminology as self-leadership from that perspective. In my coaching, I use the words be and do. You can go to my website and it’s all over there, asking the question, “Are you a human doing or a human being?” Your time in the LA was a ton of doing because you were in survival mode. It’s like, “How do I raise these four daughters, put a roof over their heads and food on our table every single day?” You can imagine how many days it is. Pull out your calculator and look at 365 times X number of years.

You said your youngest was three when you got out of the marriage. That’s at least fifteen, if not longer, times 365 that you’re responsible of. Do, put food on the table and roof over their heads. I can only imagine that transition when you got into the islands. As you said, “I’ve been in do mode for so many flipping days in my life,” and now, all of a sudden, you’re thrust into an atmosphere and an environment where all I have to do anything, for now, is myself.

I believe that the quality of our lives is based on the quality of our relationships. How beautifully you alluded to the first relationship has to be of you with you. If I could have changed one tiny thing, looking back, it would’ve been to improve that relationship with me within me before I could affect the relationships outside. Otherwise, you’re constantly putting out fires. You’re not building anything. You’re just troubleshooting because there isn’t the capacity within to look.

I think that part of that journey was so important, to be able to go back and reframe certain experiences. My belief system is that life happens for me and through me, not to me. Once that came in that shift in the lens, it doesn’t mean that things weren’t challenging. They were, but there was a different perspective to be able to look at it. Where’s the gift here if I believe that life is happening for me and through me? Where’s the wisdom? Where’s the skillset? If I could elicit those and it could take months to elicit them at times, then I was that two millimeters further down the line.

Did that come gradually for you or was it like an instant switch? I had a major event. I had been married twice, divorced twice. I had a model of parents who were married for 61 years before we lost my mom. To find myself after seven-plus years of marriage in the ditch with a divorce, I’m like, “Is this all life has to offer? There’s got to be something better than this, and how do I get myself to a better place in my life?”

That started my self-relationship journey to try and figure out, “What did I bring to the table in that relationship? Therefore, that’s what I need to focus on and go work on.” I went to therapy and did other things to heal from childhood wounds as well as the wounds of the marriage. I don’t know if they can call that an immediate trigger or switch, but it was a kick in the pants per se for me to go figure out things. For you, was it like that experience, or was it gradual after spending life in Antigua?

It was a very particular night that certain information came out that was devastating. I wanted to call it a day. I didn’t know how to move forward. I remember this little voice inside saying, “Pick up your computer and search.” I don’t even remember what I searched for, but I remember it was too late at night. I think it was like 2:00 in the morning or something like that. It was too late to call my sister in LA and too early to call my mom in London. I searched for something on that computer and, by the grace of God, Tony Robbins came up and this program. I remember I had $34 in my account and the program was $30 for the shipping.

You could have it for 30 days and if not, it was like $1,000. I think it was the ultimate something. It was desperation. I didn’t know what else to do. I spent that $30 and am forever grateful to him. The minute I paid that, there were two-hour recordings that I literally played on a loop to get me to daylight. I did the program and submerged myself into this world of coaching that I didn’t know existed. It was Tony Robbins and a lot of Esther Hicks stuff.

A year later, my eldest daughter came to me saying, “What are you doing?” I said, “What do you mean?” She goes, “You’re different.” That was the first time I lifted my head and thought, “Something’s changing here.” I’m a lifelong learner anyway. That absolutely became a calling for me of heal what’s within, so that hopefully, through whatever pain that was, there’s a way to uplift somebody else that may be going through something similar.

 

How much do you feel like coaching is your why in life? How much do you feel like you’re paying forward what happened to you?

On both of those, 100%. I sit in front of people and you can see when something shifts. It’s like dominoes in their mind. You can see their mind reframing things. I sit there and I can look back on all of that stuff. Do I want to re relive any of it? Absolutely not. However, I’m truly grateful for the gifts that have been given to me to be able to touch that life in front of me. It gives it purpose.

Our journeys were slightly different, but we came out in the same spot in the journey. For me, it’s been a journey of self-esteem in my whole life. It was my time with an executive coach who started put me on the right journey, like Tony did for you. For me, it’s the same thing. Paying it forward for the blessings that I got from the coaching that I received, as well as if you look at spirit, mind, body for myself through all of my discovery, looking at different s structures, whether it be astrology and other things, I’m built for it.

I want to go back to something that you said because I think it’s so key. When you had that divorce, there was that moment of like, “Is this all life is?” The wisdom and the understanding that the only thing that you can change is internally and go back and heal those childhood wounds that have been replicated until we’re ready to heal. It’s a journey that is not for the faint of heart.

It’s what helps me to be an effective coach for others because I have been on that journey. To me, the pure essence and foundation of self-leadership is to be able to sit down and ask yourself, “What do I want?” I’ve been granted this huge blessing of a human life and what do I want? I don’t know if I could have answered that question at that exact moment, but I could tell you what I didn’t want.

I know what I don’t want. I don’t know if I know what I want now, but I have time to figure that out. What’s more important is I start that journey, that I start being intentional with my life to start creating a life that I want for myself. I’m responsible for that. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen because the guy you see in the mirror is taking some steps and actions intentionally to make that happen for myself.

I think you’ve said it in that sentence of, “Yes, what do I want?” I think a lot of people, especially the people pleasers, have no clue because we’re so not used to it. It’s almost wrong to look inside and ask that question. Once you’ve started understanding what I want and who I need to become, that next step allows a lot of growth, expansion and joy. You grow your container to experience more joy, happiness, and loving connections with other people.

 

Once you understand what you want and need to become, you experience a lot of expansion and joy. By growing your container, you gain more happiness and loving connections with other people.

 

I think the starting point is not only that mindset change in an understanding that life works for you, as you said earlier in our conversation, but it starts from a self-worth standpoint. Even before you can get to the self-esteem piece, you’ve got to get to the self-worth piece to say, “I’m worthy of a great life. It’s my right to have a great life by the nature that I’m a human being with a soul and a spirit.”

I think it goes a little deeper. Looking back and finding compassion for ourselves and forgiving ourselves and the other players that were involved in whatever the incident was in childhood usually, it’s almost like a prerequisite to feel the self. Otherwise, we’re holding onto stuff that served us then in our child’s mind but doesn’t serve us so well now. We learn to forgive and have empathy and compassion because we didn’t know all the other bits of the puzzle of what was going on in life. We only sort from our child’s perspective, which is very egocentric, and everything evolves around like if mom or dad are upset, it’s something that I, as the child, has done. That self-esteem, you have to go through the back door and look at the situation, reframe it, love on it in a way and forgive all the people, especially yourself in it.

 

When I start talking to clients about behaviors, one of my favorite topics of conversation is the battle between love and fear in a person’s life. One of my favorite questions to ask of them when we’re talking about a specific behavior in their life is to say, “What is that behavior feeding?” The answer is one of those two. Is it love or fear? Are you doing that behavior because what you’re feeding is the fear that you have inside because of an unhealed trauma or something?

In your efforts to try and control or deal with it, you’ve got this certain behavior, which feeds the fear. How do we flip it so that you start having words to yourself and external behaviors that you’re doing that feed love, love of self and love for others in your life, as opposed to, “I’m doing this behavior because I’m feeding the fear?”

I think that whether it’s fear or love, it’s brilliant for them to start looking at. There’s that whole thing about secondary gain. We never do things unless we are getting a secondary gain from it. It may be an unhealthy gain, so that fear may be re-imprinting that thought, “I don’t deserve,” or “I’m not good enough,” or “I’m not X enough.” It reinforces that. There’s a secondary gain. It’s an unhealthy form of love, but it’s a form of love that we are perhaps conditioned for when we are little. I think it’s understanding what secondary gain is and, understanding ourselves better, and then finding healthier ways to choose something that gives you love instead of fear.

I think that’s why self-worth is such an important and foundational element because it gives us clues as to where it is that you’re feeding in your behaviors and so forth. We’ve got to get that corrected first, such a foundational element before we start looking at things that are going to sit on top of that as a foundation. What have you found to be the number one problem people have in relationships? We’ve covered that it’s a reflection of what’s going on inside, but where are the common problems in relationships?

I think the biggest one is self-forgiveness because if you’re not able to look back at yourself and feel compassion and empathy without judgment, we all do the best that we can at the time. Is it ideal? Not at all. Do people get hurt? Yes, they do, but it’s not intentional. That’s the core part because anything else is surfaced. Whatever’s coming to you from the other person, whether it’s a parent with a child, an intimate partner, or a business partner you’re working with, whatever is upsetting you is a reflection of something inside of me.

Where I need to look is inside of me and start unpacking that and forgiving and releasing it so that there’s room to allow something else in. It’s almost like emptying out that cup full of water so that there’s room to have a bit more empathy now and a bit more understanding for the other person in that relationship’s perspective. What are they trying to say? I’m projecting onto them, but what are they trying to say?

 

One of the difficult things for me that I had to get through working with a therapist after that first marriage, a lot of my traumas were in my relationship with my father. I had to do self-forgiveness, like you said, but I also had to do forgiveness with my father. We have a tendency with our parents to think that they’re perfect. They’re the parents. Our hope, at the very least, is that our parents are perfect. They’re our guides. They’re teaching us and so forth that and obeying their commands or directions when we’re young and everything. They should know everything and do everything perfectly.

The reality is nothing can be further from the truth. They’re human beings with their own flaws and their own traumas. They may have done the internal work to heal those and be at a better place in their relationship with their kids, or they may not have. They may be projecting things onto you based off of their unhealed traumas. You have to have that compassion, empathy and forgiveness for the parent in before you can truly heal the trauma.

I want to make sure that it’s not all roses and flowers afterwards. Life still happens but you develop better tools to cope it with it. I find that I definitely don’t stay down as long. I don’t go as deep as long, and it’s easier to clean up. It’s like in certain relationships, things will be said or misinterpreted to be able to have the capacity to go back after and say, “It didn’t quite go how I intended it. What I wanted to say was this. Please explain to me again. I can hear you now. I’ve got enough space inside of me to hear you.”

I think touching on that, the other thing that has become apparent and important is our capacity to sit with our own discomfort, whether we are remembering something from the past or something that’s happening now. Being able to sit with that discomfort and not, whether it’s with alcohol, with food, with digital distractions or anything else, broadening that capacity to sit with your own discomfort allows you then more grace to sit with other people’s discomfort. I think that’s an important part of it, especially in relationships.

 

The capacity to sit with your own discomfort allows you to sit with other people’s discomfort.

 

I often take that same tact with my clients in terms of particularly talking about fears. You’ve got to get to a point where if you draw this picture, you’re going to sit on a park bench with it and acknowledge that it’s sitting right next to you. Not that it’s necessarily your best friend, but it’s an acquaintance that you know and know something about it. You’re going to sit there and acknowledge that the fear is sitting there and be present in the moment with fear and say, “What is driving this fear?” As you do more and more of that, you get more and more comfortable with it, you recognize it quicker, your response is quicker to it, and your behaviors are much different.

Both of us were talking about life happening for me, but if the fear is there, what’s the message that it’s trying to give me? I believe in parts integration. We’ve become very skilled at chopping off, numbing, and compartmentalizing parts of ourselves that we don’t like. Until you can reintegrate all of those back into us and understand that each part of that has a message to give us, whether it’s to keep us safe or warn some from this. It has a message. I think when you can sit down with that discomfort with that fear or anxiety and get curious and ask, “What is it that you need me to know?” Then there’s that befriending of the parts of ourselves, and then we become more whole.

I’m sure you get the same feelings inside when you watch somebody go through that process to be in an emotionally safe place, explore those things, and figure out what is driving the behaviors and where the compassion for self needs to be and go through that hard work. It’s hard. It’s the kind of hard of standing in front of the mirror naked where you’re looking at the self, you’re looking at the self going, “Yikes.” It’s like you being able to sit there for a while staring at yourself and eventually have that compassion and empathy and say, “It’s okay. It is all right where I’m at.” Life is a journey, and it’s okay to be where I’m at right now. It’s not the final product per se, but it’s a life journey of growth, self-forgiveness, and self-leadership to go after what you want in life. If you don’t like what you see, what’s the game plan?

I learned a math equation in my career at Boeing very early on in my leadership of S plus R equals O. What’s your response to get the outcome that you’re looking for? I used that quite a bit with my teams to say, “Where are we at? What’s our S?” There were some people on my team that liked to talk about the S a lot, the whiners. I have to stop the meeting with a technical sign and go, “Get off your S. Everybody knows what the S is. We’ve been talking about it for fifteen minutes. It’s time to stop whining. We need to start talking about the R. I think everybody knows what the O is that we’re going after. What’s the R?”

How can we theoretically stand in front of the mirror and look at ourselves and say, “Here’s the S and it’s okay? This is where empathy and compassion happens for ourself. It’s in the S. When we’re comfortable with the S, now it’s time to start working on the R for the O that we want. I want joy and happiness and success in my life.” That’s different. How you define joy, happiness and success is different for everybody. What is your R? Self-leadership is in the R.

I think something that you said about is it hard? Yes, it is hard work, but energetically, we use the same energy units to suppress things that we don’t want to look at and focus outwardly and blame other people. It’s the same amount of energy we use to heal, but it is much more freeing. One is going to give us better results. It’s the same amount of work. It is not as comfortable looking in the mirror as it is pointing to someone else. I remember one of my mentors saying to me very early on, “Be careful whenever you point your finger because you have three pointing back at you.” It’s never the thing that you are pointing at. It’s whatever’s inside of here that’s being triggered.

 

I like that. You got more fingers pointing at you than the one finger that’s pointing elsewhere. That’s a great picture. What is it about Antigua that that tickled your fancy? Did you do a lot of journeying through the islands and decide on Antigua or is it the one first one you landed on and went, “This is it?”

It was the first one I landed on for different reasons. I started here. I had the list of the 42 islands, but started here, I had Barbados book booked. I started this journey in January, 2020. Three months in, COVID came and changed my plan. I ended up going to Israel for eight months and then coming back to Antigua to restart the trip. The second wave of COVID hit. Forces far bigger than me had a plan for me to be here. It became home and I’m very grateful for it. There’s something very freeing about the island, and the people are incredibly kind and incredibly gentle. It’s a beautiful place.

Do you have a lot of tennis courts?

A fair amount. We make the tennis courts work. We take turns. It’s good. Having lived in LA, where I take cars everywhere, I know it’s a much healthier lifestyle. It hasn’t got that rat race. I notice that very clearly now when I go back to the States. I also miss things about America and the UK, so the best of all worlds come together because we’re only 3 hours from Miami here and 4 hours from New York, so easy to get to.

Jumping off spot, if you will, then go across the pond, as they say, back to the UK. How often do you get back to the UK?

Not too often. A couple of times a year it seems at the moment.

Are all four daughters still in the US, or is no one still in the US?

Three of them are in the US and one is in Europe. They have all decided to live in different states, so it means lots of traveling to different places, which is nice, but they’re doing well, thank God.

How many of them are the adventurous spirit as you are?

I think all four of them are in their own way. I’m very proud of how they have created a life that works for them. Each one of them is so different, finds what makes them happy, and goes for it all. Very independent. You’ve met Talia. She’s a force to be reckoned with. Strong, but very heart-centered.

I absolutely love reading her posts on LinkedIn and the self-leadership journey that she’s on right now. I even remarked about that. She joined X, which I’ve been on for many years, and she commented and I replied to her. I love watching the self-leadership journey that she’s on. Speaking of that, you had one daughter that came back and said, “What is going on? You are not the same person that you used to be.” Your daughters have watched you on your journey. How many of your daughters, would you say, watched what you were doing and took that?

I think all of them have gone through some therapy, coaching, mentoring. They’ve chosen different modalities that have worked for them. I think there’s a plethora available to us, and each person and each coach, even some of the ones that weren’t as effective, taught me an awful lot. I think as we evolve and develop, you need different people to come in and guide you.

I’m a firm believer that we have seasons in life that we’re going through. When you’re looking at the whole picture between soul/spirit, heart/minds type things, we have different seasons in life and different areas of your life are being worked on in those seasons. Different people who come in and out of your life during those seasons are teachers in some respect.

I’m good at seeing other people’s stuff. I can see it very clearly, very quickly. My own stuff, I can’t see to save anything. Since that night with Tony Robbins, I’ve been very fortunate to always have coaches and mentors in my life because I know I can’t see my own stuff. I’m committed to not repeating mistakes that I’ve become aware of because I want to live a happier, more fulfilled life.

I’ve always looked upon my relationships as my teachers, and in particular, the very close relationships between family, spouse, and so forth, hold me up for us, with which to look in about ourselves and therefore act as bit as teachers for us in our own life out of the relationships. I’m sure you probably feel the same way as a big part of your coaching since you deal mostly with relationships.

I think it was Esther Hicks. I’m not sure. If you want to know what you are thinking about, look at what is manifesting in your life and you will know what thoughts are going in there. Actually, I think it’s As A Man Thinketh, the book, talks about the life is a looking glass. If you need to know what you are thinking, look at what you are producing. Going back to that outcome thing that you had, the S plus R is O, to know what your response is, look at the outcome that you are producing.

It’s been an absolute delight to be speaking with you now. Unfortunately, our time is drawing to a close on our vacation. If people wanted to learn more about your retreats and your coaching, or you as a person and those types, what’s the best way they can reach out and engage with you?

The website MasterThe8.com. Eight is all about the ebb and flow of life and infinity. If you can master that, then I think you’re halfway there, but that would be the best place to look.

As I forewarned you, the last question we ask of all of our guests is the question, what do the words generate your value mean to you?

To me, it’s taking whatever life has helped me become and pay it forward. That’s what it means to me because if you have all of that value and don’t share it and use it to uplift others, it gets stuck inside you. I know that Les Brown talks about the graveyard being the richest place in the world because so many people die with their music still inside them. I don’t want to die with my music in me. Let me give it to the people I was meant to touch and impact. That’s what the value part means to me.

 

If you have all of the value and don’t share it to uplift others, it gets stuck inside of you.

 

That’s why when people ask me, “Andy, what’s your definition of success?” I say, “It’s living my why out loud.” It’s one thing for me to do all the internal work we discussed in this episode and try to understand your why in life. If you don’t live it out loud, meaning that you’re sharing, you’re being vocal about it and you’re sharing that why and doing it every single day, then run a high risk.

When your life is coming to an end that you have, you’re full of regrets because you never did. As you said, that music may have been playing in your heart, but it wasn’t playing on the loudspeaker for others to hear and join in with you on that music and so-called dance with you, if you will, in that music that you’re creating for yourself because you didn’t do it out loud.

That’s why I picked those words when people ask me, “What does success look like for you?” For me, it’s living my why out loud. Meaning I’m sharing it. I’m generating value in other people’s lives through talents and skills. Either it was born with or developed over life or sharing my ideas or opinions or things of that nature. It’s going to bring value to people’s lives. Hence, I picked those words from my company’s name.

Ronita, I can’t thank you for taking that valuable time and sharing it with us. For the audience, I hope you had three pieces of paper because our conversation is full of so many Ronita Golden Nuggets here on the show that you could take away and integrate into your life or into your business or your leadership, your self-leadership, your self-relationship with yourself type things. That’s why I built this platform and do this when my valuable time is available to be able to share that in hopes that it lands. You can pick it up integrated and live out your why out loud from that perspective.

We’re here every Tuesday with another episode with another great guest like Ronita. We hope that you’ll tune in, subscribe and hit that button so you don’t miss an episode. We’re available on all the podcast platforms as well as YouTube for those who are visually inclined to get more out of the visual. We’re all built very differently.

If you like what you read, share it with others. Tell people about it because I can create that music, so to speak, but if you don’t share it, then that music doesn’t land on anybody else to hear, and then the value doesn’t get created in their lives. I encourage you to share it with others if you got some strong meaning from my conversation with a guest. That being said, have a great day. Have a great week. Hope to see you here next time for the next episode. Take care.

Thank you.

About Ronita Godsi

An adventurous and resilient soul, Ronita was born in Nigeria, raised in London, and now feels blessed to call Antigua home. Having escaped a toxic marriage, she struggled and embraced single motherhood with her four incredible daughters in Los Angeles, learning profound lessons in love and humility.

Having worked in diverse retail sectors and online platforms, she uncovered her passion for coaching and mentoring. With her innate ability to perceive the unspoken, she assists others in unraveling their stories, gaining profound awareness, and reconnecting them with their inner wisdom.

Once her youngest daughter left for college, she embarked on an island-hopping adventure that eventually brought her to the healing shores of Antigua. Inspired by her transformative experience, she created the Master The 8 Experience – a bespoke coaching journey that invites individuals to pause, reflect, and thrive against the enchanting backdrop of the island.

When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her on the tennis court, immersing herself in languages, exploring cultures, and savoring delectable cuisines. Her vision extends to living and working across 40+ islands, uplifting others, and leaving a trail of happiness and inspiration, echoing the timeless words of Mother Teresa.
