Live the Life your Soul Came For
Let me tell you a story...
"I was externally abundant, yet struggled internally. I went on a deep journey to reclaim my self-worth, trust my inner voice, and make decisions that feel authentic.
Why? To live a life I love and can overflow from to support those who lost their free will."
Welcome to this moment!
I Am Mena Teijeiro, a Possibilities Igniter!
I am the Founder and CEO of The Florrest (Boutique Retreat Forest -153 acres in Georgia, USA), and proud mom of my two teenage boys.
I felt pulled between the world of business and wellness, until I found common ground in nature! I became a bridge for these areas! I offer space for clarity and sustainable transformation.
My sun is in Aries, ascendant in Cancer, and moon in Gemini. I am a brave visionary who takes action, a nurturer who guides herself through instinct and intuition, and an energetic, outgoing, and sociable being.
In human design, I am a 3/5 Projector: Experimenting with life and learning about what works and what doesn't so I can share it with others when they ask me for my advice. This design has a natural ability to understand and guide others..
Menita is a bright and playful girl, always ready for adventure, excited to meet new people, and share magical moments with friends and family. She is creative, full of courage, and a beesy Queen. During challenging situations she will use her sting of light to bring back clarity and peace.
Even though I grew up in Argentina with abundance, in a loving family with 4 siblings, with a world-class education, trips around the world, and opportunities.... I struggled internally the majority of my life!
I was trained that someone outside of me could know better than me what I needed. I wasn’t taught how to trust my inner voice and make decisions that felt authentic. My sense of self worth was distorted.
During those formative years, I changed culture and schools often; which added to the sense of not belonging.
It would have been hard to understand from the outside. There was a consistent drive within me to be an excellent student, athlete, and kind soul. I was always fully focused on doing my best.
Yet, the distortion of energy expressed itself in many ways: fear of speaking my truth, IBS, chronic pain, an eating disorder, and lack of boundaries that led to not knowing how to powerfully relate with the people around me.
When my kids were born, my inner child and joy radically blossomed!! I connected deeply with my heart and realized that other than my kids, I wasn’t living a life aligned with my soul. This was my big awakening moment in 2009!
Divorce was extremely difficult and also revealing. In my lack of awareness, self-love, and empowerment, I had allowed my life to manifest in a way that did not feel authentic.
Since 2010, I have been immersed in the realm of personal development, consciousness, healing, and wellness.
It was a big shift from the earlier part of my life as an economist, a Chicago Booth MBA, with work experience in an internet startup in Argentina with my brother, intern at the Institute of International Finance in DC, Business Recovery in Pricewaterhousecoopers London, and experiences with investment bankers in Chicago and Buenos Aires.
I dove deep into retreats, taking courses, and getting certified in many modalities… It helped me heal and transcend limitations that I thought would last a lifetime. I was the eternal student loving the mystery of this Universe and also praying for the pain to go away.
I was also a teacher, healer, and guide… During all of 2014, I hosted an in-person weekly event called Menafesting Community, I ignited, Awaken Flow, my foundational program in Jan 2015 and have taught it to groups and private clients since, recorded meditations, presented my Tedx talk in Argentina, published a book 'The Alchemy of Words' of channeled poems, developed apps, created The Florrest, my boutique retreat forest, and became the Best-selling author of 'Success Rediifined with Jack Canfield .
Having shared custody for the kids, exposed me to changes that I did not anticipate nor was aligned with on many ocassions. For a long time, I hesitated on how to move forward with my work and projects. My kids experienced two very different households and they were less open to learning from me what I was so eager to share.
The love for our children runs very deep and this unconsciously made me stay small to not disrupt things. It was a hidden gift, an opportunity to anchor to a greater degree in my self-love, my inner knowing, develop my gifts to a greater degree, and show up fully to my life no matter what.
During the summer of 2020, when I was deciding what to do with the property I had invested in Georgia, my boys asked to move to their dad's in Tennessee. Until then, they had mainly lived with me.
I am so grateful for that decade that I shared with them fully in Miami, and how I get to visit them regularly and share holidays with them as teenage boys. I am so proud of the young men they are!
I lived in many big cities for the first part of my life: Buenos Aires, DC, Chicago, London, NYC, Key Biscayne, Miami… I see myself as a citizen of our beautiful planet Earth!
I decided to learn how to grow deeper roots by committing to The Florrest! i see it as a vehicle for my soul's growth and to support this mission. I developed this business as a solo-preneur and have been blessed with the perfect support and challenges at each moment.
I am passionate about empowering teams and souls who yearn to make a positive difference in the World. I offer retreats, online sessions and courses, and opportunities for collaboration and celebration.
I love creating spaces where each person is seen, supported in their unique gifts, and can cross-polinate to bring harmony and abundance back to Earth for everyone. Thank you for being on this journey with me!
Let's Activate The Blessings,
Spiritual Development since 2009
At first, I was seeking! At some point, I realized that I was always home in my heart. The seeking ended yet, I still loved connecting with beautiful souls and playing in the realm of energy, possibilities, and harmony!
At times, it felt vulnerable to share much I invested in learning and in healing myself. I am soul grateful for all these teachers and guides who shared their knowledge and passion with me...
I am committed to sharing this knowledge, wisdom, and source energy with you to ignite you to create the life your soul came for; a life that blesses everyone.
