Listen, we get it: Women build walls to cover up pain and shame, but if you don't open yourself up and be vulnerable, you'll never find your people. That's how Shannon and Elisha found Carolynn, powerhouse entrepreneur and owner of MegaBurn, a visionary fitness model that builds strength and confidence. Carolynn is the epitome of a self-made woman, and you'll kinda get chills hearing her inspirational story of how she hacked the male-oriented stripping industry and built her own successful outcome. "Strippers are portrayed as villains or victims. I was neither". But still, fear of other peoples' perceptions held her back from going deep at the Permission Granted event. And she decided on that day, no more. Carolynn is the first Real Talk, Real Change special guest to be featured from a list of speakers at the upcoming The Struggle Is Real event (tickets selling fast!). This episode previews Carolynn's journey, her evolution from dancer to business owner, and her determination to use this upcoming event as a platform to finally share her story in full. Because there's always at least one person in the room who needs to hear it.   Follow us on Instagram! @realtalkrealchangepodcast @___carolynn__ @elishaalcantara @shannonkbeekman   Visit our website! http://realtalkrealchange.libsyn.com/   Book a workout! https://www.megaburnfitness.com/
