Female IQ Podcast

Let's all be honest. Life lately has been challenging. We have been thrust into an unprecedented time and we are all managing as best we can with work, home and sanity.Female IQ chose Libby O'Regan to celebrate the 50th episode of Female IQ Podcast because she epitomizes what it means to be a kick butt entrepreneur, mom and positive thinker. Since 2015, she has owned Libby O Marketing and — while many of us watched Tiger King (we're not throwing shade - we loved it, too) and went meme-mania (again, not throwing shade, we did it, too) — she recently launched a non-profit called The Celebration Projects.In this 50th episode of Female IQ Podcast, you will hear about: Libby's extensive marketing background. (FYI: We all need to hire her.)"Authentic storytelling."Finding our "why" with TED talk speaker Simon Sinek.Social media and micro-influencers.Other cool women like Jenny Cawthon of Green Joy.Why we need to celebrate birthdays.Giving back.Vulnerability.Mindfulness.Take-aways from this time in our lives."We believe every woman has something intelligent to say.

From the moment Laura and Becca sat down (virtually) with Liz Proctor-Riley, the Cars' song "Just What I Needed" cued up because she is something we all need. A strength and conditioning coach by day and bartender by night (and full time mom and wife), Liz personifies the "work hard, play hard" mentality. Her New England infectious attitude and accent makes you want to whip up some dip, pour an adult beverage and embrace albeit remotely.In this episode, Liz gives a decent pour of insight on: Refreshing and light cocktails with ingredients you may have at home.How to have a fun Zoom cocktail party.Her go-to appetizers.What it is like to be in the F&B industry right now.Working for the SERG Group and its stance on supporting the community and employees.Camaraderie within the bartending community.Drinking games.How to think "out of the bottle" and, despite social distancing, feel socially connected.“We believe every woman has something intelligent to say. Let’s listen.” —Becca & Laura

In this episode of Female IQ Podcast, Laura interviews Becca about how to awaken your inner writer and learn a simple yet impactful strategy to coping with the coronavirus. Becca earned a B.A. in journalism from Washington and Lee University and a M.F.A. in writing from Savannah College of Art and Design. She has taught several courses on writing and she details how to: Effectively brainstorm using two non-intimidating techniques.Journal without judgement.Explore various genres to begin the creative writing process.Through the power of the pen (or keypad), we can experience: Mindfulness.Self-expression and self-exploration.The cathartic quality of transferring thoughts to fully fledged ideas and even writing samples.The ability to better understand ourselves and the world around us. “We believe every woman has something intelligent to say. Let’s listen.” —Becca & Laura

Shannon Miller of Integrative Relaxation is just the person we all need to talk to at this moment. She is a calming force and has an extensive background helping people through difficult times—physically, mentally and spiritually via occupational and massage therapy and sound healing. (NOTE: Becca can attest to how transformative her massage sessions can be and highly recommends booking Shannon once Jiva Yoga Center's doors reopen.) With a healer's heart, Shannon also specializes in touch and vibration therapy specifically for oncology patients.Talking with Female IQ Podcast, Shannon shared strategies to living our new normal, including: How to be kinder and gentler to ourselves.Combating "comparison-itis."Managing anxiety.Practicing gratitude.Setting the bar low.Letting go of worry.Morning rituals that invite peace into our day.Shannon also welcomes you to visit her Facebook page the Art of Not Doing and participate in her 7 Day Sleep Challenge.“We believe every woman has something intelligent to say.
