Finding Fearless

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This past week, I had the chance to sit down with Alexandra Sirocky, and I was honored to hear her share so candidly about the struggles that arose along her path both in her personal life and her life as an entrepreneur.

For those of you that are not familiar with Alexandra’s work, she is a yoga teacher, writer, and the force behind NOMaste, a business she launched to help others live a more integrated yogic lifestyle through movement medicine, self care practices, and establishing intuitive eating habits. 

In this episode, Alexandra and I cover:

- How the practice of yoga could carry her through the hardest of times & connect her to the powerful personal strength she held within
- Our own struggles with authenticity & social media
- The power of positivity in the midst of life altering experiences 

You can connect further with Alexandra by following her on Instagram and by visiting her website.

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This week we chat with my dear, childhood friend, Chloe Mason. 


I first met Chloe Mason when we were both 15, and I liked the fact that she didn’t take shit from anyone. When anyone asked about her life goals, Chloe would look them dead in the eye, and say: “I’m going to be a model.” Chloe went on to become exactly the model she convinced us as teenagers she would become. 

In this episode, Chloe and I cover:

- The importance and value of embracing your sexuality 
- Learning how to put your oxygen mask on first 
- How determination truly does make your inner 15 year old's dreams come true 

If you loved listening to Chloe, you can also keep up with her adventures by following her on Instagram.

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This week we have Jessica Blasingame, an accountant AND a wellness expert, on the pod. 

Jessica first began her career in the world of corporate accounting. However, the more time Jessica spent in the corporate environment, the less happy she became with her work and the more fatigued she became. Since that point in time, her entrepreneurial path has continued to evolve as she's worked as a yoga instructor and wellness coach. She then founded Beam Financial Group, a business coaching & bookkeeping firm that specializes in working with companies in the health and wellness space. 

In this episode, Jessica and I cover:

- How we don’t have to only bring part of ourselves into our work and fit all of our other interests into small sporadic blocks of free time
- The power of "and" - and how being our whole, authentic selves is a game changer
- How the diversity of who we are gives us a dynamic perspective, and helps us be fully invested in our lives and in our work

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This week we have the powerful and AMAZING Lindsey Behringer on the show!  

Lindsay is an entrepreneur, mommy, and an outspoken advocate on social media. After the birth of her daughter, Isabel, she quickly discovered that the bras she could wear while nursing fell into 1 of 2 categories: sexy or beige. Lindsay's frustrations in trying to find a bra that felt like it was actually designed for moms led her to build a bra & ultimately a business of her own: Behr Bras.

In this episode, Lindsey and I cover:

-  How social media has sparked us questioning the impact of things like device dependency, online bullying, and what happens to our social fabric when a big segment of the population is living just for the 'gram
 -  Lindsey's work as an outspoken advocate for the breastfeeding movement, body positivity, and women everywhere
 -  How social media has forced the issue on important conversations that were being ignored or even silenced by other media platforms

Whenever we see another woman #CrushingIt in the working world, it’s easy to assume that she got to that point by possessing a skill or quality that’s out of our reach. She had more education, better networking abilities, some element of privilege, or a leg up in the world that others lacked. But more often than not I’ve found in my conversations with successful women that there is one underlying factor that separates them from the pack, and that is their consistent ability to show up and work hard.

That is exactly why I wanted to share the story of my dear friend & sister-in-law, Evandra Tager. Evandra is the VP of Customer Experience & Advocacy at Oracle. For those who aren’t familiar with the company, it is ranked #82 on the Fortune 500 and generated $964 million in revenue in 2017. Just by sheer size and status of the company she works for, it’d be easy to assume that Evandra got to her position by having some special advantage over the rest of us. However, when you listen to her story you’ll discover that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Evandra is a queer Brazilian daughter of an immigrant family, who never studied anything remotely related to technology. Her career in a call center at AT&T began out of necessity, and each role she has risen to has been the result of her hard ass work. She isn’t the product of privilege, and anyone who knows would tell you she brings humility, strength, and kindness to everything that she does. I  hope that by hearing her story, you’ll see where you share common ground with her. Ground that is ripe for planting the seed that success isn’t about what we have or where we come from, it’s about the intentional vision we bring to our work and to our lives each and every day.

Use the audio player above to hear our conversation and listen to Episode 10 of the Finding Fearless Podcast.

The Finding Fearless Podcasts primary purpose is to highlight female entrepreneurs' voices. This has been a Fearless Foundry production. All audio is recorded and owned by Fearless Foundry.
