From Small Town to Entertainment Capital of the World – Nara Ford
How Nara Ford went from a tiny beach town to a widely renowned model and businesswoman living her dream life in Las Vegas
Everyone knows that the modeling industry is one of the toughest to break into. Social media is saturated with would-be models and influencers. So how did a small-town girl from Washington become a (practically) overnight success in such a dog-eat-dog business? Read on to get acquainted with Nara Ford, a tough ex-airman in the U.S. Airforce, who was discovered by being labeled a “Military Hottie” while on active duty in Mississippi.
Behind every beautiful aspiring model, there are hundreds in line hoping to be discovered. Nara Ford realized this truth early on when she began gaining traction in the world of modeling after being featured on several platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and The Chive, for her incredible figure. Nara got a taste of success after her first paid gig (to the tune of $5,000) and was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug. Rather than resting on her laurels, as they say, Nara developed a sharp business plan that has helped her become not only a successful model but a keen businesswoman who helps others, hoping to realize their dreams.
Nara was born and raised in the little beach town of Ocean Shores, Washington. After being led to serve her country, Nara enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. When she realized modeling was a real possibility for a future career, she got serious about learning all she could about the industry. When the Air Force moved her to Las Vegas, she looked at it as a golden opportunity to stretch her legs as a bonafide model, but that is not all. As the modeling took shape, not everyone was thrilled. There was controversy over racy photographs published while an active-duty airman, a blip that did not deter the ambitious Nara. She continued to build her modeling portfolio, being featured in domestic and international magazine publications. More than a pretty face, Nara began constructing a business plan not only to get ahead but bring others along with her.
Nara hosts networking events to brand herself but is also eager to share the knowledge she has amassed in the industry. She hosts engagement groups and has created a unique formula to help new influencers earn six figures annually, as she does. Nara is now within the top 1% of a pool of over 450,000 content creators and strives to help other women do the same. Nara is assembling a team of the hottest up-and-coming girls from small towns who also strive for unique branding and social media success. The idea was born when Nara recognized that many other women share the same ambition as her. As a result, she created ways to help women learn the art of embracing their bodies, not becoming fixated on what others think, and reaching their career goals, however big or small.
Nara is building an empire more than a career. Her brand encompasses not only modeling but running a lucrative website for four years before Only Fans. Nara participates in live streaming, PPV, and messaging, rarely turning down a fan’s request, not even the “off” ones she sometimes receives. She has grown her business while narrowing in on her clientele’s specific needs, perfecting her marketing skills, and monetizing her Instagram following, resulting in over $500,000 in her first year!
Setbacks are common, but thankfully, Nara says, she has not encountered many of them so far in her journey. “One of the keys is to not worry too much about things I cannot control. I focus on myself, try to be the best I can be, and remember that it’s all about the fans.” Nara says she makes it a point to measure herself by her past achievements. To stay focused, healthy, and ready for the demands of her schedule, Nara meditates, works out, and maintains a positive attitude. Self-love and respect are critical keys to her success.
Most entrepreneurs understand the importance of diversifying one’s income streams. Nara is no different. She has found ways to do this every chance she gets. After purchasing and renovating her Las Vegas dream home, Nara rents part of the space for other creators to shoot their content. It is not only a way to earn extra money but also add value to her clients. Fans can expect a lot more from Nara in the future. With tireless energy and willingness to learn and produce exciting content, this model-turned-mogul is quickly making a name for herself. “There is plenty more to come! I am always trying to figure out what my fans want and make that happen in new and entertaining ways.”

The Power of Integration: Fred A. Kressaty’s Inner Harmony Redefines Emotional and Spiritual Growth
In today’s world, personal growth often feels fragmented. Self-help trends lean heavily toward emotional intelligence (EQ) or spirituality but rarely explore how these powerful forces can work together.
Fred A. Kressaty’s book, Inner Harmony: Mastering Emotional & Spiritual Intelligence, bridges this gap, presenting a revolutionary approach to achieving balance and purpose.
By merging emotional and spiritual development, Fred provides readers with a comprehensive framework for managing life’s challenges with resilience and authenticity.
This innovative perspective has made Inner Harmony a standout in the crowded self-help genre, earning it a place on the shelves of readers seeking practical and profound guidance for living a fulfilled life.
The Missing Link Between Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence
While emotional intelligence emphasizes understanding and managing one’s emotions, spiritual intelligence leads to finding more profound meaning and purpose. These two intelligences are often treated as separate paths, but Fred argues they are deeply intertwined.
In Inner Harmony, he reveals how integrating EQ and SQ leads to holistic well-being, clarity, inner peace, and stronger relationships.
Fred explains that EQ helps us journey through the external world—our relationships, professional lives, and personal goals—while SQ connects us to the internal world of values, beliefs, and purpose.
By blending these intelligences, we can achieve a state of “inner harmony” that aligns our actions with our more profound truths.
The Practical Framework of Inner Harmony
One of the book’s key strengths is its practicality. Fred doesn’t just discuss theories; he offers readers a step-by-step guide to applying EQ and SQ principles in everyday life.
The book introduces readers to tools like mindfulness practices, emotional regulation techniques, and values-based decision-making. These methods help individuals build resilience, strengthen relationships, and lead more intentional lives.
The chapter on resilience is particularly impactful. It shows how emotional intelligence can help individuals bounce back from setbacks, while spiritual intelligence offers the perspective needed to find meaning in challenges.
Fred’s approach empowers readers to see adversity not as a roadblock but as an opportunity for growth.
Empathy and Connection: The Heart of Inner Harmony
Empathy is one of the book’s central themes, and Fred explores it through the lens of both EQ and SQ. Emotional intelligence enables us to understand others’ feelings, while spiritual intelligence helps us approach those feelings with compassion and a sense of interconnectedness. A dual perspective that transforms how we interact with others, fostering more profound, more meaningful connections.
Fred’s insights into authentic communication are especially relevant in today’s polarized world. By combining emotional awareness with spiritual values like patience and forgiveness, readers can approach difficult conversations with empathy and understanding, creating bridges instead of barriers.
Leadership Through EQ and SQ
Fred devotes much of the book to exploring how EQ and SQ can transform leadership. He argues that great leaders are not just emotionally intelligent—they are also spiritually grounded.
The book includes practical advice for integrating EQ and SQ into leadership practices, from using self-awareness to navigate tough decisions to employing empathy to connect with team members. Fred’s insights are backed by real-world examples, making the concepts easy to understand and apply.
The Role of Mindfulness in Integrating EQ and SQ
Mindfulness emerges as a key tool in Inner Harmony, as the bridge connecting emotional and spiritual intelligence. Fred introduces readers to mindfulness practices that enhance self-awareness, emotional regulation, and spiritual clarity.
By staying present and grounded, individuals can navigate their emotions more effectively and make decisions aligned with their values.
The book offers simple yet impactful exercises, such as mindful breathing and reflective journaling, that readers can incorporate into their daily routines. These practices help cultivate a sense of balance and perspective, even in the face of life’s challenges.
Why Inner Harmony Matters Today
Inner Harmony is a timely guide to achieving balance in an era marked by burnout, anxiety, and disconnection. Fred’s integrated approach addresses the root causes of these issues, offering readers the tools to lead more intentional and meaningful lives.
His focus on both emotional and spiritual growth ensures that the book resonates with a broad audience, from professionals seeking workplace balance to individuals looking to deepen their relationships.
The book’s emphasis on aligning actions with values is particularly impactful. In a culture that often prioritizes productivity over purpose, Inner Harmony encourages readers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.
The Vision Behind the Book
Fred A. Kressaty’s motivation for writing Inner Harmony stems from his journey of transformation. After a near-death experience in 2000, he underwent a profound spiritual awakening that reshaped his understanding of life’s challenges.
This moment inspired him to study the Bible, explore emotional intelligence, and ultimately develop a framework that integrates these insights.
For Fred, the book is more than a guide—it’s a mission. He hopes to empower readers to discover the tools within themselves to live with purpose, authenticity, and connection.
His approachable tone and relatable anecdotes make the book both inspiring and accessible, ensuring its message reaches those who need it most.
A Legacy of Balance and Purpose
As Fred A. Kressaty continues his work as a coach and counselor, Inner Harmony is the culmination of his life’s dedication to helping others. The book is not only a reflection of his professional expertise but also a testament to his belief in the transformative power of resilience, self-awareness, and faith.
Whether going through a personal crisis, seeking greater clarity in your relationships, or looking to lead purposefully, Inner Harmony: Mastering Emotional & Spiritual Intelligence offers a roadmap to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Fred’s story and book remind us that balance is not about perfection but about alignment. Connecting our emotional and spiritual selves creates a foundation for resilience, connection, and lasting fulfilment.
