    11. Moxie Chat: Heather Fink * Determined. Kind. Curious.

       

      Today’s Moxie Chat guest is Heather Fink.

       

      For over 25 years Heather Fink has been developing world-class beauty products for some of the sexiest, most sophisticated, provocative, edgy, fashion-forward brands in the world.

      She led the teams at Victoria’s Secret Beauty, MAC, essie, bebe and Agent Provocateur in the creation of some of the most iconic products ever seen in beauty, and has the privilege of partnering with the best creative talents, labs and suppliers from around the world. Her experiences at L’Oréal, Lauder, The Limited, Interparfums and QVC afford her enormous insights and resources related to trend, innovation and the beauty marketplace.

      Heather was inspired to fuse the elements from her vast history with the powerful voices of real people speaking their truth to create a brand with an authentic point of view redefining the global concept of “The Sexiest Beauty”, a ground-breaking new beauty concept that debuted in Fall 2017.

      Without further ado, here’s Heather.

       

       

      How do you define SUCCESS?

      I feel successful when I can empower others to embrace their own unique beauty inside and out. I feel successful when I am giving back. I am successful when I can be of service to the global community. I am successful if my business can thrive and I can support myself and my family and continue to accomplish my mission to do the above. And that’s full circle SUCCESS.

       

      Share the THREE WORDS that describe you BEST and why!

      Determined – I am determined to accomplish my mission and I won’t ever give up, whatever that may be.

      Kind (and Loving) – I believe in leading with kindness & love and putting good, positive, kind, loving vibes out into the world. I believe that kindness is sexy.

      Curious – I am endlessly curious about everything and everyone in the world.  I am obsessed learning new things visiting new places and meeting new people, cultures and ways of life.  These days it may be mostly virtual, for example, I’m learning about life in Lagos reading my brand ambassador Taiwo Aloba’s new book Surulere, Lagos and following her IG @surulerelagoschapbook where she reads the stories and shares music and the inspiration behind them! And I met you virtually and hopefully one day IRL! 

       

      What is your favorite soultank-filling activity?

      Spending time with my kid. Yes, even in the midst of Month 7 at home together, it gives me great pleasure to spend time with her. She is a joyful, positive, loving, amazing human and fills my soultank with her spirit. L

       

      I’m pretty fond of alone time too, especially getting something pampering done like a massage, or taking a walk, reading a book.   I do have to remind myself I deserve it, and take that time or spend that money on myself.

       

      What does MOXIE mean to you?

      Hmmm, I had a general idea, but, given that curiosity I mentioned, I had to look it up, and learned it was a soft-drink from the 30s that gave you pep!  now that’s good branding, we’re still using the term 90 yrs later.  

       

      to me, Moxie means guts and determination, boldness of character and courage to take risks and go against the norm if necessary.

       

      What is ONE WORD guiding you right now?

      Diversity.

       

      Divine things to highlight:

      It’s all about sharing solutions like our mask-proof lippie via our #BeSafeStaySexy campaign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Hlsiayp8M&feature=youtu.be

       

      When you visit TheSexiestBeauty.com, use the code MOXIE20 for 20% off all orders!  (Forever… Lionesses!)

       

      In October, the brand givesback of $10 per item to @beautifulselforg to support their mission to empower survivors and fighters of breast cancer to embrace their beauty!

    15. Spill the Tea: Imposter Syndrome
      Imposter syndrome sneaks into most of our thoughts… Many of us ask ourselves if our work is good enough. We wonder if we are worthy of being at the table or in the room or on the stage… and so on.
      This month there has been more glass on the floor from ceilings being shattered that we can recall, so this week’s affirmation is about reminding each of us that we are worthy.!

      The affirmation:

      I am worthy of being in the room and at the table.
      My voice and ideas are valuable.

      Pull out your sassiest teacup, brew your favorite tea blend, snuggle into your coziest spot, and listen in on this hour of togetherness… Get ready for Molly’s breathing techniques + meditation moments… and our sharing of ideas, experiences… and the divine serendipity that flows around us!

      Our three tips to slaying the imposter dragon and taming your self-talk:

      1: Surround yourself with people you can TALK TO about this.

      Whether it is your best friend, a parent, your spouse, a colleague, or your coach… choose a group of people you can turn to who will sing your song to you when you’ve forgotten it.

      2: Write out three custom affirmations to help you with this.

        • Formulate them in baby steps. Changing our thoughts and believing in ourselves is key. You can do these steps for as many thoughts as you would like… however, start with “the one”. 
        • Write out one self-limiting, imposter syndrome filled thought. The one that drags you down and makes you doubt yourself.
        • (I am not good enough for this job.)
        • Then, flip it upside down and write out the glorious words that represent your ideal thought pattern. This is your GOAL thought!
        • (I am amazing at my job!)
        • Now, write out 3+ sentences that will help you get to #3! Baby steps toward your highest thought you seek. Remember to start with a sentence that you BELIEVE… when you read it – you FEEL IT is true.
        • (I am learning more and becoming better at my job every day!)
          (I am proud of the work I am doing in my job!)
          (I am good at my job!)
        • Read, think, and believe them – as often as possible – until they become your new, natural thoughts.
        • 3: Take out a piece of paper or your digital device and start writing out all of your accomplishments.  

          Training, education, and certifications you have earned, books you have read, podcasts you listen to, mentors you meet with to sharpen your skill, problems you have solved, people you have mentored, etc. – so you can SEE IT ALL.

          Get ready to hear us sharing ideas to, best practices around, and (of course) highlighting our favorite people, brands, and initiatives positively serving humanity and sprinkling JOY over their slice of the galaxy!

          It is our heart’s desire to provide a lens for focus, a place to uncover the opportunities that abound. and create a moment to embrace grace and gratitude as we celebrate the beauty that is swirling around us. 

          Let’s all go forth and lead with love, trust, and faith.
