Flawed and Fearless

Porscha Lynette Coney is a lifestyle blogger and owner of an interior design firm, P.L. Coney Designs. Porscha Lynette (formerly Mommy & Ministry), and has recently undergone a transformation by her changing the name of her blog as she’s rediscovered that you don't have to sacrifice your passions as a wife and mother. Porscha has learned that as women, we can and should stay true to who we are, which may include continuing to wear red lipstick or high heels to PTA meetings, if that’s what you enjoy!

Porscha has captured peace from NOT trying to keep a perfectly balanced life. Through her responsibilities as a mother of two, business owner, and entrepreneur in a new city, she stands boldly in encouraging others to “be your biggest cheerleader!”

Check out her blog and resources below for inspiration from interiors, fashion, and more. On Fridays, Porscha emails her subscribers her FAVorite verse/word of encouragement and favorite fries – sign me up!

Sarah Jane Alleman is the “chick in charge” at the Introverted Chick. She has grown this online community to over 100,000 followers since 2016. She recently launched a monthly subscription box business, which she describes her goal through it is, “to make introverted women smile with items that aid self-expression, increase personal effectiveness, and bring relaxation after too much people-ing.”

In this episode, Sarah shares about how she realizes the importance of working on a vision or dream even if it requires sacrifice and uncertainty – like when she began renting out office space for her subscription box business last summer. She shares how she believes and lives out the saying that “action breeds more action,” and she’s so excited to be creating and making people smile while doing so. Sarah has been leading her online community while raising a child with PANDAS, and admits that being a stay-at-home-mom for 11 years was the hardest job she’s ever had!

This week's episode you get all of me, your host, Katie Sharp. I share about how I'm not qualified to host a podcast, in the typically sense. I don't share this to downgrade myself at all, but rather to encourage you, my listeners, that you don't need all of the puzzle pieces before you start. 

Obviously I did launch this project despite these reasons of being unqualified, so listen as to why I DID launch, what my mantra has become the past few years, and how I'm living out "Flawed and Fearless" in my daily life. 

At the end of the episode, I share about four women who I'm inspired by online who I believe do an excellent job of sharing their flaws vulnerably in front of their online audiences. Below are links to their Instagram pages if you would like to follow any of these authentic and inspiring accounts. Enjoy learning more about the "why" behind Flawed and Fearless today!

I'm thrilled to introduce you to Jenny Hansen Lane today! Jenny is a photographer, creative, and mom of three boys. Her purpose as a luxury portrait photographer exists to create images after you are gone. She immortalizes love and legacies.

In our interview, Jenny shares about her balancing act that resembles an acrobat juggling many different plates on their hands and feet. The speed of each plate spinning isn’t identical to the other, as she reminds herself, “don’t drop the plates.” She keeps those plates spinning through prioritizing responsibilities as a business owner, mom, and more. One of her secrets to this balancing act includes her 8 babysitters!

Listen as Jenny opens up about staying positive and passionate through grieving loss, how she executes the spiritual world into physical, and what perceived balance means to her.

I’m excited to share my interview with Mya Price with you! Mya is the owner and founder of More Than Your Average, a blog and online boutique with one-of-a-kind finds that she regularly curates.

Mya’s online boutique caters to women who are sizes 12+ (including accessories and items for any size!) who might not be as successful in finding inspiring pieces in a typical store. She encourages women to live with boldness, confidence and power, beginning with the way that they dress.

Mya believes in jumping into new things, like starting her business or moving to a new state, despite feelings of fear, uncertainty, or anxiety. If you live in those feelings, you will never start! She recently moved from Lexington, KY to Washington, D.C., where she works full-time while growing her online business and inspiring women everywhere. She is an advocate in embracing the shoulder pads in vintage finds – “keep those shoulder pads in!”

Follow along with Mya’s journey to be inspired to celebrate bold confidence in style! Her energy, creativity, and optimism are contagious!
