As we know, the status quo doesn't serve the global majority. That's why it's so important that we create opportunities to move ourselves into positions that empower us. Financial literacy is a powerful tool that does just that, enabling women and other marginalized genders to take charge of their economic destinies.   

Financial literacy is about much more than just dollars and cents; it's about independence, breaking cycles of poverty, and bridging the wealth gap. With financial know-how, individuals can confidently navigate the financial landscape, make informed decisions, and secure their futures. It's a key to entrepreneurship, wise investing, and protecting against financial exploitation. 

Plus, it's a cornerstone for advocating for economic rights and participating in policy discussions.   In this week's episode, Kim and Louise are joined by co-founder of investHER Academy + Startup Smart Kids, Angel Padulo. 

Frustrated with the scarcity of women investors in the room, Angel is determined to help women and children learn about the financial freedom that comes from being an investor.

Expectations are a part of life, but if we take them too much to heart, it can have negative effects.

It can stir up anger and resentment, making it hard for us to make our own choices. This can even lead to mental health struggles like depression and anxiety.  So, it's important to shed the burden of societal expectations and fully embrace our genuine selves. Instead of letting others dictate who we "should" be, let's tune into our own thoughts, desires, and beliefs.

That's where our true authenticity shines through.

It's like crafting a personalized suit for your soul, one that fits just right and feels perfectly you.

In this episode, Kim and Louise are joined by social change instigator and founder of Tapas Movement, Malik Turley, to dive into the ways to move beyond expectations.

Life has this funny way of evolving, and so do we. (Re)discovering your purpose is like embarking on a lifelong treasure hunt for the essence of who you are.

It's not a one-time, "set it and forget it" kind of deal. It's about honoring the shifts, the growth spurts, and the gentle nudges from the universe.

This process isn't about flipping a switch; it's more like adjusting the volume knob until the melody feels just right.

In this episode, Kim and Louise are joined by mystic, spiritual guide, and transformational empowerment coach, Sarah Noble, to dive into all the ways you can embrace this journey of (re)discovery.

What is divine timing? Well, basically, it’s the belief that everything happens exactly when it's meant to.

Have you ever had several different and unrelated people mention a book or movie to you multiple times or run into the same person again and again?

That's divine timing giving you a nudge to take inspired action on the things you’re being called to.

In this week's episode, Kim and Louise are going to be joined by their guest, coach Nadine Stille, as they dive head first into the concept of divine timing and how not to use it to spiritually bypass (i.e. sit back and wait for things to happen).

Welcome to September! The air is crisp. The apples are ripe. The school year has started. It's a time of new beginnings!

We've all heard about the importance of rest. And yet, many (or maybe even most) of us feel like we struggle to get enough of it.   Most people think rest synonymous with sleep. In fact, they serve somewhat different functions - both incredibly important to our overall functioning.

While both rest and sleep support your mental, emotional and physical health, rest also soothes, calms and regulates your nervous system. Whereas sleep gives your body (and brain) time to repair itself.

Learning how to incorporate more rest into your already busy schedule is key to better mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, and reduced stress.

In this episode, Kim & Louise are joined by Kaley Medina. Kaley is a Certified Sleep Consultant in Dallas, TX helping babies and families get the rest they need by using gentle sleep training methods. They dive into what creates rest and how to encourage sleep, even when those zzz's feel elusive.

Entitled and empowered are two distict mindsets and ways of approaching life. Entitlement is marked by a belief in unearned privileges and expectations, while empowerment is characterized by a sense of agency, accountability, and the pursuit of personal and collective growth. The journey from entitled to empowered involves a shift in mindset, focusing on self-awareness, accountability, gratitude, and a willingness to embrace challenges and opportunities for personal development.

In this episode of Kickass Career Conversations, we're diving deep into what we can do to lead ourselves from places of entitlement that may still exist within us to embodying the fullness that empowerment can give us.

Join us as we explore practical insights and inspiring stories, guiding you through the process of shedding entitlement and embracing a mindset of growth, accountability, and compassion. Kim and Louise are excited to have author, TEDx speaker, contemporary dancer, yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and Embodiment Guide, Phoebe Leona, at the table with them for this conversation.

Doubting your creativity? Time to reconsider! Creativity isn't limited to grand art or major breakthroughs; it takes various forms. We often hold back from creative things due to comparison or fear of failure.

In this episode, Louise and Kim have a conversation with Creativity Doula, Hollis Citron. They discuss how everyone has their own creative spark and explore ways to nurture and embrace our unique creative expressions.

Hollis is on a mission to make creativity accessible to everyone by exposing new possibilities. She is passionate about helping people build the confidence to recognize, encourage, and express the innate creativity that they are born with. She not only believes but KNOWS that YES! You ARE creative!
