Futura Talks

If you were to ask yourself what you really want? What would your dream job be? How do you want to live your life? And then ask yourself if you are actually living or doing that thing right now - for many people, the answer would be NO.

So many people are living a life doing something so that they can eventually do the thing they really want to be doing, instead of just doing that thing right now!

In this week’s episode I talk about:

• Asking yourself how you are spending your time and if it is aligned with the vision you have for your life?
• What if you chose to do the thing you really want to do NOW - instead of delaying it?
• And, how you can get clear on what it is you truly want and most importantly - WHY you really want it.

Ultimately, when we can answer these questions we can start living the lives that we want to be living today!

And if you need support to discover your WHY - check out a FREE resource I have created to help you do that. Link ⬇️

Have a vision so big that you can’t quit on it! Mine is to help people bring their big dreams and ideas to life - it’s a big and expansive “WHY” for me. While I have tried so many different things along the way - I haven’t stopped moving towards this big WHY. The “HOWS” may look different but they are all actions and steps I have taken towards the big WHY. 

In this week’s episode I talk about: 

• Why the WHY matters more than the HOW
• Why It’s okay (and necessary) to pivot the HOW along the way
• To hold the big vision by taking small actions in its direction

Tune in and let me know what is your big vision and what small but purposeful action will you take towards it today?

Joining us on the podcast this week is Nadia Ladak, a young entrepreneur who is bringing innovation to a product that has not changed much in over 80 years, even though it is used by 50% of our population - for approximately 38 years of their lives!

What started out as an idea for Nadia and her co-founders for their university entrepreneurship course, to a side hustle they launched while holding full-time corporate jobs has now become Marlow -  a menstrual health brand that has created the first-ever lubricated tampon.

Beyond the product, the team is taking a community-driven approach to reduce the stigma around menstrual health through education with an aim to transform the way we experience periods by bringing refreshing, shame-free, and inclusive conversations and products. And they have gone VIRAL… with over 70M views on TikTok and features in Global News, Canadian Living, Vancouver Sun, the Kit, and more.

I was incredibly impressed by Nadia and her story - and I am not the only one! Nadia recently traveled to Germany to speak on a panel about women entrepreneurship at the G20 Young Entrepreneur Summit. She has been recognized as one of Canada's top 30 under 30 leaders by Bay Street Bull and as one of the top 29 women leading the modern menstrual movement by Girlboss. She is on the Startup Women Advocacy Network at Startup Canada where she speaks with government leaders to advocate for women and youth entrepreneurs. She speaks openly about her journey as a 23 year old woman, youth, and BIPOC founder, women's health & femtech innovation, leaving her corporate consulting job to pursue her startup, and building an e-commerce/DTC brand.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why she decided to take on big CPG and innovate around the tampon
• What it was like to work full-time, run a side hustle and then decide to go all-in
• How her team convinces often male investors to invest in Marlow
• How they are doing things differently through their organic, digital marketing strategies
• How her small and mighty team operate fully remote
• AND, their plans for future growth and expansion

This week we are re-airing one of our most loved episodes about navigating self-doubt! In case you missed it the first time, here’s your chance to tune in.

When we doubt ourselves we are putting out that frequency and energy into the universe and that is not the energy level in which you can manifest your dreams.

Part of the reason I started this podcast is because I have so many ideas. And I have these ideas that I talk about daily, I talked about with friends, I talked about with my clients, I talk about with other female entrepreneurs, they are topics that come naturally to me and come naturally out of me to speak about.

I felt the scripting could help me ease my self-doubt but it was actually holding me back from just being really super raw and candid. So today, I tried something new.
