About Theresa Paganini, owner of Eloveate

My goal is to live life to the fullest! I want to pull every juicy morsel out of life that I can! And I wouldn’t be able to do that if I hadn’t learned to love myself, exactly as I am. Who am I? I started as a Jersey, Italian who grew up as the baby girl amongst three older brothers. After moving to Florida, I ended up a teenage girl who struggled with low self-worth, depression, and a variety of eating disorders. Now, after a few decades of practicing self-love, I live in Arizona with the loves of my life (husband and dogs). I’m a step-mom to four amazing young-adults, and the owner of two companies, eLOVEate and Love Yourself Lean. At my core, I am a passionate, energetic, opinionated, dominant, active, sensitive, loyal, imperfect, protective, loud, hard-working, logistics-loving woman. 

Now, my passion is to teach other women how to create UNSHAKEABLE self-worth. As I know too well, we often get struck with self-doubt when someone questions us, shares a different opinion, or displays any real or perceived doubt in us. I want to eliminate that. 

I want us to be so self-assured in our worthiness and abilities that no one and nothing can shake our confidence. I want us so confident in our worthiness and abilities that we see every single experience in life as a success or a lesson...never a fail. The only true failure is giving up. 

I want us to feel confident to put ourselves out there knowing that we can handle any hiccup or mistake because it is simply a lesson. Instead of shame or embarrassment, we react to snafus with determination and possibly a self-directed laugh, and then gracefully pivot. 

All of this is possible when we love ourselves unconditionally- when we love and accept ourselves in all of our messy humanness. When we can develop a self-love that strong, other people's judgment no longer has any power over us. That's what I want for us. Freedom from judgment and self doubt.
