Shifting Perspectives Academy
If you're anything like I was, you may feel trapped in your body, watching life unfold from the sidelines instead of embracing your inner goddess. Just going to the mailbox felt like a chore, and I'd drive around the parking lot just to park as close as possible. It hit me hard when my husband mentioned I was on track for a motorized scooter— that was my wake-up call.
I thought I had tried everything—every fad diet, every trend, even working out with a buddy. I counted calories, followed Atkins, and attempted numerous solutions. However, through it all, I realized one crucial fact: I never truly changed my mindset.
It's not an overnight fix, but transforming my perspective was the key to finally overcoming my weight issues. Now, the scale is just a tool that helps keep me on track; it no longer defines my worth. Remember, you are not defined by that number, and neither am I. I've walked the path you're on and have discovered the recipe for success. The only requirement is that you need to be willing to put in the work and show up for yourself every day. Together, we can embrace our true selves and unleash the power of our inner goddess.
Beverly's Angels
Beverly’s Angels is more than a nonprofit; it’s a deeply personal project born from my journey of healing after the death of my mom, Beverly. While it might seem like I started it simply to honor her, the truth goes much deeper. I created Beverly’s Angels not just to preserve her memory, but to heal the wounds from our complex relationship.
I had no specific cause to champion at first—only an overwhelming desire to spread kindness in a world that sorely needed it. Over time, I realized that I am who I am because of the struggles I faced, many of which stemmed from the pressure my mom placed on me. She wanted everything for me—everything she didn’t have. While her intentions were loving, it was often difficult to stop and recognize my own worth. This led me down a path of self-doubt, abandonment issues, control struggles, and people-pleasing tendencies. In short, I was a hot mess.
Just days before she passed, I had an “aha” moment that changed everything. For the first time, I saw my mom for all that she was, not for what she wasn’t. I rushed to her bedside and told her how proud I was to be her daughter, letting her know that her life mattered and that she had left a profound mark.Â
She never knew about Beverly’s Angels, but it is a legacy born from that moment—a reflection of the healing, kindness, and love that came from finally seeing her fully.
Beverly's Angels provides brand-new essentials to children from ages 1 to 92. Fittingly, on Christmas Eve 2019, I received the most meaningful gift in the mail—a letter from the IRS confirming our official 501(c)(3) status. Today, our signature campaign, Dear Santa, continues to spread the magic of Christmas to our essential heroes. I am proud to say that no one does Christmas quite like we do.
Founding Beverly’s Angels was the beginning of my wellness journey, which has since led to a triple-digit weight loss, the creation of Shifting Perspectives Academy, and Level Up Vibes Events—a women’s mastermind designed to help women embrace their inner goddess.
Benny & The Kindness Squad Book
Faith Schwalback is a published author, with 100% of the proceeds from her book supporting her nonprofit, Beverly's Angels. Faith gathered a group of children from her community to ask for their advice on what they thought their peers needed most. As a thank-you, she gave them a bear, which led to a touching moment: one child raised her hand and asked, “May I gift my new Benny to a girl in need of some sunshine at school?” The little girl she mentioned had been feeling sad, and the Kindness Squad member wanted to restore the light in her eyes. That moment marked the birth of Benny, our beloved mascot, and this book is a collection of true stories about how and why children choose someone special to give their Benny to.
"Benny’s Kindness Squad" was created as an inspirational guide to spread kindness by encouraging empathy and awareness, brought to life through the character of Benny. The hope is that, by reading about the experiences of children and their peers, you’ll see that real change happens when we come together as a community. We invite you to purchase the book and share it with someone who could use a little extra compassion. Order your copy today and help spread the kindness!
