This week on the Girls 4 Greatness podcast I am chatting with Kim Strobel, someone who knows a lot about where happiness really does come from. However, Kim will also be the first to tell you that she has had to overcome incredible odds in order to find her own happiness.

I invite you to listen in as Kim and I talk about her struggle with debilitating anxiety, how perfectionism is the lowest standard we can ever hold ourselves to, and how our happiness is really less about circumstances and more about our internal hard wiring.

Kim is a leadership consultant and happiness coach. She helps businesses, organizations and high achievers prioritize their health and well-being so they can reach new levels in their businesses and their life. Kim is also a nationally recognized speaker who is deeply passionate about empowering others to live bigger, bolder, braver lives.

Female rivalry is something I think all of us as women have had to deal with in some way shape or form. I think we all have likely had a moment or two where our intuition was telling us that something may be off with someone. I also think that we have all had to deal with our own inner "she bully" as this week's guest puts it. We have let the "she bully" win us over to comparison rather than focusing on what we know to be true.

I invite you to listen in to this week's episode with the amazing Amber Tichenor, someone who actually specializes in the area of female rivalry. Amber is a female rivalry coach for other high performing business women, empowering them to embrace change and competition. Amber's To Be Coaching and Consulting company allows her to work with her clients to remove their obstacles and create full, successful lives. Amber is super passionate about promoting collaboration over competition.

In this episode of the Girls 4 Greatness podcast Amber shares her own experience with rivalry in the workplace and how she used that experience to inspire the work she is now doing. We dive into the power of owning your own voice and the importance of truly owning who you are. I have no doubt that you will be inspired to continue to work to remove the obstacles in your own life in order to live a more fulfilled life.

Please be sure to check out all that Amber is up to by heading to www.tobecoachingandconsulting.com. You can also connect with Amber over on Instagram under @ToBeCoaching or on Facebook under To Be, Coaching + Consulting. Amber can also be found on LinkedIn under Amber Tichenor.

This week on the Girls 4 Greatness podcast I am chatting with the former Mrs. Utah, Cherie Burton, who is a true pioneer when it comes to spiritual psychology. Her evolutionary STAND SPEAK SHINE method transforms women into authentically embodied and empowered feminine leaders.

We not only dive into what that all means, but Cherie also shares her very personal struggle with mental illness in her family and how that has played a crucial role in molding her into the powerful influencer she is today. Cherie is a mother of 6, an author, an international speaker, and the host of the Women Seeking Wholeness podcast. Cherie is also an avid researcher and teacher of the Divine Feminine. She has written and produced audios, training programs and led transformational retreats all on this subject as well.

Cherie and I talk about the importance of actually waking up to who we really and truly are and the importance of tuning into our senses. We also discuss how our mental wellness is wrapped up in so much more than just the thoughts we think.

I have no doubt that Cherie's wisdom and truth will challenge and inspire you to take a deeper look at not just the way you think, but how your own self-care plays such a vital role in your overall wellness.

What a gift it was to have the opportunity to chat with the truly remarkable, Laina Moore. I invite you all to listen in to this next episode of the Girls 4 Greatness podcast as Laina shares her incredible story of resiliency in the midst of extremely difficult circumstances.

Upon his birth, Laina learned that her son was born with right-ear microtia atresia and Congenital Heart Disease. He has since been diagnosed with Goldenhar Syndrome and Scoliosis as well. In our conversation Laina talks about the struggle it has been to raise a son with the difficult medical conditions he has.

More importantly though, she shares how she is raising awareness and being a light to so many who are finding themselves in similar circumstances.

Laina is choosing to find the joy in the chaos, and as we all are faced with so much of our own chaos these days, we can learn so much from Laina's powerful example. I have no doubt that you will be inspired to use your own power to choose the positive and to choose to truly LIVE in the hard rather than die in it.
