Our Story:
Hello, I'm Melissa, founder of Inspiring Quotophile. I am a national award-winning health educator, author, and researcher. I am an international speaker, podcast and webinar guest. I am a passionate artist and social justice advocate.
Inspiring Quotophile is dedicated to Lilly, my beloved shelter cat. I used to think that I saved Lilly yet her unconditional love, adoration, and sweetness rescued me many times over.
I have survived sexual harassment, workplace toxicity, two brain surgeries for a stroke disorder, a brain tumor, and multiple other physical ailments. Lilly was always there for me, offering a paw and a head butt to remind me: "It will be OK. Let's enjoy some salmon."
Lilly was right. Things will eventually be OK. In the meantime, most of us can benefit from more positivity, which prompted me to found Inspiring Quotophile, where we deliver unique products to encourage and elevate your everyday life. Our products are scripted with powerful affirmations and quotations, along with delightful artwork and photos to boost your self-esteem!

Using Duo Decks

How Affirmations Work:
Affirmations are tools that steer away from negativity to promote confidence in your abilities. Our brains are "neuroplastic", meaning that they are capable of rewiring and change.
Affirmations are a Springboard Towards Change:
Affirmations are not meant to provide instantaneous healing. Yet, science demonstrates that our neuroplastic brains accept regularly repeated affirming statements as fact, thus creating a springboard towards empowerment and inspiration.
Repeat Your Affirmations on a Regular Basis:
Affirmations should be spoken out loud and repeated at least once a day. Ideally, it is best to repeat them in the morning and once again in the evening before bedtime.
Incorporate Action Steps:
In order to achieve your ultimate benefits and goals, begin with self-awareness of your core values. Decide what changes you wish to pursue so that your affirmations have direction. Incorporate action steps towards the changes you envision.
Meditation, journaling, and deep breathing exercises are excellent adjunctive activities to solidify positive intentions of affirmations.
Inspiring Quotophile is pleased to help along your journey of self-discovery, intention, and potential.
