Inspiration

★ Motivational Monday ★

My biggest inspiration is a woman who is an entertainment reporter, a wife, a mother, and a survivor. She has achieved so many milestones at the young age of 38 and that amazing person is Giuliana Rancic. If you have not heard of Giuliana or about her inspiring life then please take the time to read this post.

Giuliana Rancic nee DePandi, is a co-host of E! News and studied incredibly hard to get where she is today. After moving from Italy to America at a young age and not being able to speak absolutely any English, Giuliana has taught me that no matter what your situation is in life you just need to work hard and chase your dreams. 

Giuliana met the love of her life, (entrepreneur and winner of The Apprentice) Bill Rancic, after interviewing him about The Apprentice for E! News. It's been almost 6 years since their wedding and their marriage is still as strong as ever, but it certainly hasn't been an easy road for the fun loving couple. It's hard to believe that in less than 2 years Giuliana and her husband Bill have experienced incredible highs and lows that no couple should have to deal with. However, they have come out on top and stronger than ever. Giuliana and Bill experienced multiple miscarriages and got discouraged by the fact that they couldn't conceive a child. Due to a mammogram Giuliana had to take to determine why she couldn't get pregnant, the couple found they were about to go through one of the scariest and most challenging experiences in the world. In October of 2010, Giuliana was diagnosed with breast cancer. From that moment on, life was not taken for granted and thankfully Giuliana got the treatment she needed (a double mastectomy). As a result of the cancer, Giuliana was advised to not get pregnant for atleast 5 years, which is why Giuliana and Bill chose to allow a gestational carrier to carry their child for 9 months. The pregnancy went according to plan and they now have an adorbs baby boy, Edward Duke Rancic. He's a cutie! From their experience, Giuliana and Bill continue to spread the word about breast cancer and have inspired many women to get their breasts checked as the same thing could happen to anyone. 

G and B's new show Ready For Love premiered a few nights ago in the US and I can't wait to watch it here in Australia. Also, Giuliana and Bill Season 7 premieres in June and I am SO EXCITED!!! I have recently watched every season, which explains why I know so much about the power couple. Their lives inspire me so much and I hope to have a marriage as strong as theirs one day in the future. 

So why is Giuliana Rancic my biggest inspiration? Well, that's an easy one! I have never heard of a more positive and happy person. Even though she seems to have the world on her shoulders she still manages to laugh it off. I know a kind heart when I see it and after watching back to back eps of Giuliana and Bill, I know that Giuliana doesn't have a mean bone in her body. A 21st century superwoman she is! 

I will be doing Motivational Monday posts on a regular basis and they will focus on people or quotes that inspire me so stay tuned!

Happy Monday!!!
