Empowered Women Show | Fortnightly Show For Introvert Women Entrepreneurs|

You have something incredible to share. Your purpose. Your passion. Your unique gift for the world.

That’s one of our deepest-held beliefs here at Empowered Women. We are drawn together by our sacred mission to serve others and share our message. By the knowledge that we were born to make this world a better place.

Our guest this week is a tireless activist for that truth.

Teacher, guide and business coach, KAREN GUNTON spent years learning - and teaching - the mechanics of successful business. Showing people how to build strong foundations. Think strategically. Master key business skills.

Then she realised that wasn’t enough. That she needed more - much more - to truly make a difference. That what she wanted to create wasn’t a business, it was a lighthouse. A mighty tower of strength and inspiration, shining the way for all the people who need it.

Karen joins us to share her incredible journey from teacher to business alchemist. To help you ignite YOUR spark and become the dazzling beacon you deserve to be.

You have to be perfect to succeed in business, right? Be ‘professional’. Disguise your personality. Hide your flaws. After all, no one’s ever going to believe in you if you show them who you really are…

That’s what so many women really believe. It’s the story we’ve been told all our lives. The constant soundtrack of our inner critic. It holds us back. Keeps us small. Convinces us to tone down, pull in, and shut up - when in our hearts we want to dream. To sing. To share our wild, joyful passion with the world.

But it couldn’t be more wrong - and this week’s fabulous guest on the Empowered Women Show is here to prove it! At first, she walked that path. Moulded herself to fit the ‘norm’. Built her business around other people’s expectations. It didn’t fulfil her – and it didn’t work.

Then she threw caution to the wind, let her personality shine, and began to soar. Today, JULIE PARKER is one of Australia's foremost business and life coaches. CEO and founder of the incredibly successful Beautiful You Coaching Academy, she is an authentic, real, genuine, soulpreneur, who passionately trains other heart-centred people to bring their talents into the world.

So if you’re yearning to stop hiding and start shining, watch now and discover:

• What happens when you show up in the world as exactly who you are
• How to tell when a crazy idea is really your calling
• How to unlock the greatest source of power in your life and business
• How to be respectful, soulful, feminine and nurturing - and still make loads of money
• The very best way to serve and help others (it’s not always obvious – or easy)

It can be scary stuff, running a business. There’s this constant, nagging fear about what you might be missing – especially when it comes to the legals. You don’t know what you don’t know (or what might go wrong if you don’t get it right).

This week’s guest on the Empowered Women Show will change all that.

This amazing woman quit a stellar legal career to follow her dream of helping others. She gathered her courage, faced down the naysayers, and set up on her own. And then it got hard.

Like many of us, she had no idea what she was doing at first. But through research, determination, listening and a hell of a lot of trial and error, she figured out how to build and run a successful business.

Today VANESSA EMILIO is all about helping others do the same, through her fabulous online legal service. And this week on the Show she shares some of her incredible expertise, to help YOU set up thriving business - and protect yourself from legal threats.

You’re going to ADORE this week’s guest on The Empowered Women Show. She’s a perfect fit for our community.

This woman is one heck of an achiever. She had the guts to make it as only the 10th female partner at Deloitte’s – and then walk away because it wasn’t fulfilling. She’s the founder of a fabulously unique business that has an incredible impact on others. (All while raising 4 children, would you believe?)

And at her heart she is a lovely, nurturing, caring woman, with a passionate drive to help others.

JULIA BICKERSTAFF joins us here to share her incredible insights on building a business out of the work you love. Watch now to hear her story of ‘accidental’ success and reinvention. Discover how she beat the two biggest challenges facing any women entrepreneur. Find out why running a successful business is simple (as long as you have the right recipe).

Also in this episode

• How she fought to find her voice – and what finally made the penny drop
• Why it takes a village to raise a business
• Why entrepreneurship isn’t right for everyone
• The amazing thing she discovered about community (mostly by accident)
• The one thing you need to succeed in any business
• What happens when the WANT is bigger than the FEAR

This week on the Empowered Women Show we’re really going to CHALLENGE YOUR THINKING.

• Does business success meaning making millions?
• Does a lifestyle business have to be humble?
• Is it bad business to turn away clients?

If you want a life and business that really suits YOU, you’re going to LOVE what this week’s guest has to say.

She works when she wants to. She does exactly what she loves. She has space in her life for her pleasures and passions.

She’s achieved everything she set out to do.

BY HER OWN MEASURES, she’s successful. And who gives a hoot what anyone else thinks?

Like so many of the amazing women in our community, CHRISTINE LIVINGSTON followed the ‘wrong’ path first (and totally rocked it, btw). But career success was never enough. She quit, and everyone thought she was mad. She consulted for a while, but it still wasn’t right. So she gathered her courage and set up on her own. And that’s when things went really crazy!

You’re going to be BLOWN AWAY by this week’s guest on the Empowered Women Show. She’s a bold, brave, ballsy entrepreneur who can WOW a crowd. Set a whole room roaring with laughter. Reduce powerful leaders to tears.

She’s mesmeric. Dynamic. Larger than life. Oh, and she’s also an introvert.

JENNIFER ELLIOTT, CEO and founder of Integrity and Values, is one of Australia’s leading experts on effective leadership. She’s built a million-dollar global business from a single, humble workshop. She’s given literally thousands of people the tools to voice their needs and speak with assertive power. And she’s achieved it all by having zero tolerance for playing small.

Jennifer joins us here to share the fundamental secrets of assertive communication. To describe her path from conventional quiet girl to game-changing entrepreneur. And to explain why great leadership always starts with compassion and empathy.

This week’s guest on the Empowered Women Show has an amazing story to tell. A story that leads from debt and despair to a wonderful, meaningful, wealthy life she loves.

ALICE CRAWLEY’s incredible journey shows just how much a woman can achieve when she puts her heart and mind behind it.

In just a few years Alice racked up a terrifying $185,000 of debt across two continents. With no way to pay it back, she lived in denial and hid her habits from everyone she knew. Guilt-ridden, terrified and deeply ashamed, she shopped herself happy - and spiralled ever deeper into secret over-spending.

Today, Alice is a fabulous, successful and wealthy entrepreneuress. And as a guide, coach and powerful mentor, she’s helped women across the world transform their relationship with money. In this episode she shares how she faced up to her actions and the feelings behind them. How she doubled her salary and cleared her massive debts within five years. And why today her life is devoted to helping other women everywhere to do the same.

Watch now to discover:

• The pivotal moment that changed her world
• How she transformed her beliefs about her own self worth
• The three brave steps she took to start clearing her debts
• The invaluable resources that helped her get back on her feet
• What gave her the courage to face up to her creditors
• Her simple strategies for staying clear and focused in business

She’s a teacher, speaker, storyteller and mentor - oh, and the writer of no less than EIGHT best selling books.

Natural born entrepreneur. Pioneer of loving self care. Doyenne of intuitive business. JEN LOUDEN is one fabulous, fascinating woman.

Jen joins us here to talk about her amazing journey - from grand show biz dreams, to a limitless life of heart-led creativity.

Welcome back to the Empowered Women Show! We have someone super special with us this week, who has an incredible story to share. The amazing TAJCI CAMERON performed in the Eurovision Song Contest at the age of just 19, becoming a pop sensation across central Europe. But just 2 years later she walked away from the money, the fame and the adoring fans to literally start her life over on another continent - alone and unknown, with absolutely nothing to her name.

Today this courageous, inspiring woman is a world-famous singer-songwriter, blogger, motivational speaker and host of popular multi-platform show Waking up in America. Her mission is to help others everywhere silence their self-doubts, embrace their true authentic selves, and start living the lives they were born to live. She bares her soul with us here on the Show, sharing the vulnerability and fear she felt behind the façade of her ‘perfect’ life, and explaining how she found the strength to jump off the carousel and reclaim her power not once but TWICE.

Welcome back to the Empowered Women Show. This week we have a hugely entertaining and inspirational guest who is here to share the story of how she built a massively successful disruptive business and became one of the biggest names in Australian entrepreneurship “almost by accident”.

Warm, gentle and self-effacing, esteemed businesswoman and mum-of-three BEC DERRINGTON is another fabulous fit for our quietly influential community. She joins us here to talk about the personal struggle that inspired the idea for her crowdsourcing site Sourcebottle - and the massive obstacles and frustrations she faced in challenging the status quo and forcing changes to deep-seated habits across the media sector.
