Ways Visionary Leaders Can Play Bigger with Nancy Giordano

Effective Ways to Overcome your doubts with Kara Godin the founder and CEO of Hint, Inc.

So many women have a fraught relationship with their body… but there IS a way back! Rebuilding that trust takes time and a unique guide to unpack the internalized beliefs that place us at war with ourselves and fighting the perceptions generated from the beauty industry and broader culture.

Women getting a seat at the table takes ALL of us working together!

Smashing through those barriers asks us to honestly address the systemic problems that have led us to where we are today.

That means starting from the bottom up, and considering the best ways can help enhance the full diversity of female voices within the business world that are ready to be heard. And surprisingly, what needs to change in our lead generation, scaling, and social media strategies.

Healers can't fix us. Why? Because we're not broken! But they can remind us that we're whole – and that our path to healing comes from within. Healing is an inside job. (Hence the title of this podcast episode 😉 ).

You are in charge of managing your own experience in the world! It’s so refreshing to know that we can speak up to create a better experience for ourselves. Feeling stressed? Say so! Need more time to do something important for yourself or your kids? Say no to that other demand vying for your attention!

It’s okay to be an imperfect ally when navigating difficult times. Wanting to participate in an emotionally charged conversation is important, even if we’re afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. The beauty of it is… we don’t have to get it right or be perfect. We have to see where we can do more, be better, and expand.

When it comes to negotiation, many of us feel we don’t measure up. Maybe our fears of rejection or conflict get us to clam up and go with the flow… or we just feel inadequate in our knowledge and choose other -- harder -- approaches in life. But what if simply asking for what we NEED could benefit…everyone?

For thousands of years, women have been taught to be good above all else. You know... follow the rules, trust our logic over intuition, keep the peace, make everyone else happy, and sacrifice ourselves to achieve our goals. Whew... glad those days are over... oh wait...they’re not. Being the ‘good girl’ holds us back from our true potential. It keeps us from being POWERFUL.

Every entrepreneur has that ‘aha’ moment. And for Brett Larkin, one of YouTube’s finest yoga teachers, it came on the drive back home from a YouTube creator conference in San Bruno, California. Working in the video game and tech industry for years, Brett had always been a staunch believer in the power of the online space. In fact, one of the most impactful yoga classes she’d ever taken was a virtual one she streamed from a tiny hotel room in India in 2012.

In our society, women are treated like they have shelf lives. Once we reach a certain age, we’re told that it’s time to wrap up, settle down, and start looking for more appropriate passions → like knitting and gardening. All that’s really left for us to do is reflect on our lives, and quietly make our way to the end of our lives. Nothing new, exciting, or groundbreaking can be expected of a woman past a certain age. Not according to today’s guest, Juju Hook.

Picture this. Your life and business are both stuck in a rut and you know you need someone’s guidance to get out of it. Someone who looks, talks, and acts like you and who’s been through similar struggles. So, you decide to get the help of a female lifestyle coach and log onto their website. And are immediately greeted by…

Who is a leader? What is leadership? Can you only lead if you’re an owner, founder or a C-suite executive? According to today’s guest, Claudia Chan, absolutely not. And as a leadership and culture change expert, she’s made it her mission to provide the world with a more holistic, inclusive, and purpose driven definition of leadership. One that doesn’t discriminate against gender, race, economic background, or even your job title.
