                        CASTING CALL:

YOUniqueness Unlimited was created to help women of all ages and backgrounds find their special, one of a kind, lovable superb self and inner power. It’s been my experience that women are hard on and very critical of themselves; trying to be all things to all people.  In the process you feel burned out and used up, often losing your sense of self. Then you wonder if you’ll ever feel complete or in harmony. I know this because I am one! I have been through the negative and destructive belief system that tells me I am not good enough. You are more then good enough.  You are amazing! I understand this because I am a recovering people pleaser, overachiever and perfectionist.  

It’s my deepest desire as a mother, daughter, sister, friend, motivator, business professional and breast cancer survivor, to share my own painful struggles and finally learn how to love myself. Yahoo!  Today I honor, value and celebrate my worth with God’s grace and the willingness to dive into my soul.

Each action-oriented seminar is targeted toward helping YOU understand and embrace your most confident, authentic self, knowing that God has a plan designed exclusively for you. Here are proven, time-tested steps and secrets to equip women to live exciting, positive, productive and passionate lives.



                               MISSION: 

To empower women to embrace their own authenticity by increasing personal and professional confidence and discovering their greatness.

 

MY OBJECTIVES: 

  • To communicate an inspirational message with concrete solutions that empower women to focus on who they are, not what they do! 
  • To offer action steps for an internal transformation in the way women think of, view, and feel about themselves which enhances self esteem and personal confidence.
  • To listen and respond to emerging needs of women and to address information that impacts personal growth. 

RAVE REVIEW:

Judith Jacobs: Film & Television Casting Director/Los Angeles:

 

"If you look up the word REINVENTION  in the dictionary, there must be a bio and picture of Barbara Rucker there! From TV super-stardom to suburban motherhood, from owning an elite New York restaurant to surviving  breast cancer, from recreating an active life for her family during business moves from New York to Florida to Chicago to Nashville, then constructing a now single life after 25 years of marriage, getting her college degree, and still gorgeous, healthy and carving out splendid careers and relationships - Barbara Rucker is a positive energy force that can never be slowed down, let alone stopped!  She is an inspiration to EVERY woman."

“On occasion we meet an individual who finally ‘gives in’ to the calling which seems so obvious to the rest of us. Too often that calling is not clear initially to that individual or they don’t have the courage to take the plunge. They may recognize the direction their life is headed but are too worried about the ‘how-to-make-it-happen’ details.  Barbara is one of those whose ‘call to be a speaker’ has been clear to many of us, who know her well, for a long time.”


”Barbara and I have done marketing work for the same firm, trained adults in communication skills and shared the same speaking platform. Through all of this, she made it clear she had the life experiences, the knack for sharing with an audience and the passion to be of service to others.  AND, (it is a big and), she has the ‘need’ to share her love of life, love of the Lord, and optimism to help other women make their lives better.  I am proud to know her.”




                    ACCEPT A ROLE:

To serve you and your personal needs more effectively, I have created a self esteem survey that I invite you to complete and send back to me. 

The more knowledgeable I am about how you feel about your issues of empowerment, the better I can address those concerns in my presentations and seminars. Please know your information is protected and cherished with total confidentiality.
