Finding Fearless

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This week we have the JOY of talking with Jeny Rae: yoga teacher, youth program director, and founder of Shakti Strong. 


In her work with Circle In Truth, she is focused on facilitating safe spaces for people to truly own and reflect upon their stories. In her work as a yoga teacher, she is single handedly creating a new way for women to practice that empowers them to find and define their strength, femininity, and sexuality for themselves.

In this episode, Jeny and I...

-  Unravel the many layers of her story that have led her to the work she offers today
 - Touch on the #MeToo movement, the power of vulnerability, and the interconnected nature of us all
 -  And ask: how do we help women tune into their true selves and establish empowered connections to their bodies?

To learn more about Jeny, you can follow her on Instagram or visit her website to check out her upcoming classes & workshop.

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This week we have the pleasure of speaking with Jenna McDonald, founder and owner of Passion For Practice, a global yoga business based off of Bainbridge Island, WA. 


Jenna and I ask ourselves and our audience many questions, inquiries stemming from some of my underlying knowledge of Jenna’s deep yoga lineage, and also my own curiosity as to the path that lead her to being the teacher and mother she is today.

In this episode, Jenna and I answer:

- What does it take to navigate on the road less traveled? 
- How do you sustain when support isn’t always there?
- Where do you look to to find guidance along the way?

To connect further with Jenna and her studio, you can follow her on Instagram or visit her website to keep up with new events and programs.

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! Chatting this past week with one of my oldest friends, Allegra Lowe, it became clear to me that the key to overcoming this obstacle is to not give any power to these outside influences.


I have always been impressed by Allegra’s willingness to go after her goals despite the opinions of others, especially when it came to her career. Most recently Allegra has embarked on launching her own salon and embarked in co-owning a business.

In this episode, Allegra and I cover:

- What it took to get Allegra's small business off the ground, from business planning to dealing with those that doubted the abilities of her and her business partner
 - What elements were key to establishing our own ambitions as female entrepreneurs
 -  Advice for future generations that want to step off the beaten path to start something all their own

To find out more Allegra and High Post, you can check out the salon on Instagram or visit their website to book appointments.

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This week I spent time chatting with my cousin, Jax Cassady, about what it has been like for her to experience and wrestle with misogyny within her career and across vastly different industries. 


Along the way, Jax and I talk about:

- The wage gap
 - The rise of Trumpism
 -  What it takes to hold your own in a company that only sees your value as necessary to fulfill their diversity quota

To find out more Jax and connect with her further, you can follow her on Instagram.

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! This week we have my dear friend and former colleague Martina Chavez. In our conversation Martina opens up about what it took for her to go from bankruptcy to business ownership, and how strategic trust and intentional choices have played a paramount role in her growth within the tech industry.  


Martina and I both started our journey as “women in tech” at the same company, and it was an eye opening experience for us both. Along the way we’ve learned a lot about what it takes to uphold your own values and to operate with integrity to find success and overcome the obstacles in your path. 

In this episode, Martina and I cover these questions:

- What does it take to find your path?
- How do you navigate when the road ahead isn’t entirely clear?
- What does it mean to ‘protect your energy’?


To find out more Martina and connect with her further, you can visit her studio’s website at www.gaiayogastudio.com. Additionally, you can connect with her on Instagram.

I realized nearly a year into this podcast that it was pretty crucial to set the stage for why this kind of work came into being. Truth be told, we’re living in the era of podcasts. The medium is definitely all the rage these days. But the medium is a means to a much more important end: telling stories.

I use to think of myself as a writer. Growing up, academically speaking, I was always known as one. As I got older, I wanted to be a blogger. I poured my heart into one after the birth of my first son. It gave me an outlet to let go, to connect, to get outside of myself and my homebound life. As my life and career shifted, I ended up writing more emails than I wrote stories. As time passed, as it always does, the urge to get those words out started to gnaw at me. Talking with other women became my core outlet. That’s when I realized this bigger calling wasn’t about just writing per say, it was about telling stories.

And with that realization, this podcast began making its way into the light. Because it needed to be here. Talking with friends, acquaintances and everything in between, I have realized we have reached this quintessential tipping point. This moment where finally, FINALLY, women are ready to start sharing their stories, and there is space for them to be truly heard.

I’m not talking about stories of perfection. Or of having it all together. This isn’t your source for finely curated success stories. This is your source for stories of scrappy women figuring shit out. Tales of women who won’t take no for an answer fighting tooth and nail to make space for themselves in this world. This is your place for authentic outpourings of what it really takes to be a woman navigating and innovating in the working world.

It is my gift to you. It is also a gift to myself and all of the young women wondering where their place is. It is my minor act of resistance. And it is the way that the stories are flowing for me right now.

I’m glad you found it. I hope it matters to you. If it does, will you do me a favor and take a small action to show me?

Thank you for being a part of this journey.
