There are many paths we can choose to walk in life but what happens when your journey takes you to a place you never anticipated? Or, when you held a firm belief that you would work in one way, only to find out that you were meant for something completely different? Take a listen with us as we chat with Dala Al-Fuwaires on today's podcast. Originally thinking she was meant for a "career" path with a traditional interior design company, she had a moment in which she chooses to move on and launch herself forward by building her own firm. And trust us, you'll want to hear why she had to make that move, and how it has paid off for her now!

Tune in to learn more about the following:
1) Why sometimes you just have to take the leap forward, knowing that is the scariest part!

2) How to really diversify during large-scale happenings (like global pandemics).

3) How to run a business when you are self-taught and holding the faith that you can succeed.

We are so thrilled to have Lauren Gonzales on the podcast today (who also happens to be neighbors with Rosemary!), as hers is a bright story to come out of the pandemic. A graduate from ASU, Lauren was laid off from her design firm when Covid19 hit, and instead of panicking, she really looked at her life and realized that she enjoyed being able to spend more time with her family, not less, and decided to make some changes. She made the move to strike out on her own, creating her own interior design business and being based in Gilbert, AZ certainly didn't hurt, as the housing market has simply exploded and the need for design, both commercial and residential is at a peak.

Grab your ruler, pencil, and tape measure and tune in to hear about the following:

1) How it's okay to not "niche" down and can love multiple sides of your business.

2) How turning a loss into a gain is possible depending on your perspective.

3) How taking a leap into the unknown, but having faith in yourself, can return huge dividends.

In today's episode, we are chatting with Erica Pauly, who never meant to be an entrepreneur or own her own business - and isn't it funny how life does that to you? Initially working in marketing and finance, she quickly realized that no one in her industry was tracking the necessary or correct data to make significant changes to their overall company financial structure. Taking it upon herself, she started to track financial data and come up with unique tools and systems to improve the health of the clients' business. And thus, a new company was born - filling a niche that no one else was providing at the time. Listen along and learn about the following:

1) How to be in love with both the data of your company AND the story behind the data.

2) How 7 Core Values have changed her entire company and who they hire as part of the team.

3) Be inspired by her motto of "own it, solve it, and end it well" which has created incredible customer satisfaction for her clients.

Brenna started dancing at 3 years old and despite numerous obstacles and a few rejections, made her way onto the dance team at the University of Arizona, one of the top dance programs in the country. However, during her tenure there, she suffered a serious spinal injury, and it wasn't until she found Pilates that she was able to start making a full recovery back to dance.

So many people had to pivot during the Covid pandemic and yoga instructor, Jeanne, was one of them! When 5 of her 6 yoga studios that she was teaching at closed permanently, Jeanne had to figure out another way to connect with her community. While online teaching wasn't the direction she wanted to go, she did want to be able to offer recorded classes for her students, so they could return again and again to her membership library because, for Jeanne, connection is everything! More importantly, Jeanne really learned some valuable lessons this past year and her mission for helping others through yoga has really shifted. She is on a mission to help others to love themselves exactly as they are, and where they are, at this moment. Body love, body positivity - whatever you want to call it, Jeanne wants to help you embrace all of your beautiful strengths, as well as the messy parts of you, on your journey of life.

Grab your yoga mat and stretch it out while you listen to the following:

1) Jeanne's inspiring path to becoming a yoga instructor.

2) How she pivoted during Covid to work smarter, not harder, and better serve her community of followers.

3) Her empowering message to women of all ages on the importance of loving yourself fully.

A professional stylist, who has worked a varied career in Hollywood for actors and celebrities, to owning her own consignment shop, to finally finding her true passion as a stylist for real people, Robin is helping others to build confidence and step boldly into themselves. We aren't going to lie, this conversation will light you up in so many ways - and make you want to revamp your personal closet ASAP.

She sees personal style and clothes as the ultimate way to express yourself, and every choice you make in what you wear just further defines and magnifies YOU. This is a conversation you will not want to miss!

Check it out to learn about:

2) How to SHINE your RAYS on everyone you meet.

Our podcast guest today is Misty Cosper who is intent on helping small business owners understand the power of recognizing and harnessing equally, the masculine and feminine qualities that reside in each of us. Integration at its highest form, Misty believes it is completely possible, and in fact, critical, to honor both the masculine (getting shit done, meeting those deadlines, focusing on when you need to get your business moving) and the feminine (knowing when to step back, be soft, flow with the cycles of life), and helps others who really want to blend the hybrid of both. A transformational energy coach AND a financial accountant, Misty works with folks to not only get their finances in good working order (and have it not be so scary) but also to create an abundance mindset, removing blocks and limiting beliefs so each of us can flourish to our highest potential.

Tune into this episode if you want to learn more about:

1. What it means to honor both the masculine and feminine in your business.

2. How we truly can live a life of abundance, grace, and joy, while still running a small business (and the challenges that come with doing that!).

3. How sometimes the universe gives you great struggles to push you onto the path you are truly meant to be on.
