Some women get things done and others are get-things-done powerhouses. Meet the woman behind the award-winning global leadership conference, SHE Summit and SHE Globl Media, a corporate initiative that helps Fortune 100 companies accelerate their gender equality and diversity programs. Claudia just released her new book, This Is How We Rise: Reach Your Highest Potential, Empower Women, Lead Change in the World, so it was a great time to catch up on the show.

What's Claudia’s secret? You have to hear this week’s episode of Glambition Radio.

A recognized expert on leadership and social entrepreneurship, Claudia has been leading change in the world. And she believes you can too. She says your birthright is to be extraordinary, and her book will help you reach your highest potential as a change agent by tapping into your purpose-centric mindset. (You can learn more and order the book here.) 

On this episode of Glambition Radio, we dive deep into the This Is How We Rise framework — how we as leaders and entrepreneurs can tap into our energy to be an activist in the world. It starts with figuring out what really matters to you and then asking for help. We are not meant to do our great work by ourselves. And we have to let some things go, especially our self-judgement.

On the show, we also discuss:

* how her life has changed since her last Glambition Radio interview in 2014 (clue: two toddlers!)

* how “living on purpose” has helped her grow and evolve

* the writing process and how we both work better by processing out loud (this is great tip — you don’t want to miss it!)

* how writing her first book transformed her into more of who she was meant to be and helped her get clear on her ideology

* what it means to live with a purpose-centric mindset and live “for the world” instead of “in the world”.

* how your life is not about what you need to get done but who you want to become — talk about an instant shift!

* what it means to lead from where we are and how to propel our actions

* what she is doing at SHE Globl with big brands like Bacardi, Toyota, and Coca-Cola (this is fascinating!)

If you’re in NYC, try to drop by Claudia’s SHE Summit, her impactful 2-day Conference on October 19-20. She has a great line-up of influential speakers like my friends (and some clients) Amanda Steinberg, Kara Goldin, Farnoosh Torabi, and Rha Goddess. They will guide you on a personal-professional transformation to lead change. And you get a signed copy of Claudia’s book. (Learn more and grab a seat at http://shesummit.com/)

It was an honor to speak at her SHE Summit event back in 2015.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Claudia and I also talk about the reality of being a working mom and “mommy guilt”, the importance of connecting with like-minded people who support and empower us, and how to treat your life like the organization you’re leading (this is key!).

I know you’ll get a lot out of this interview. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Today’s show is a deep conversation with Rha Goddess, who is empowering a new generation of conscious entrepreneurs to “stay true, get paid, and do good” through her creation and work as CEO of Move The Crowd. She is the “entrepreneurial soul coach” behind hundreds of breakthrough change-makers, cultural visionaries, and social entrepreneurs.

But my client Rha’s story is just as powerful as the movement she’s created.

On this episode of Glambition Radio I have Rha go back to her Brooklyn childhood, and then what she calls the intersection of civil rights and hip hop. Her activist parents — who survived two decades of segregation and then worked on the front lines of the  civil rights movement — and what she witnessed growing up helped shape her into the cultural innovator and conscious entrepreneur she is today.

After a dual major in chemistry and computer science at Vassar, Rha worked for a 50 Fortune corporation in their specialty chemicals division. But she always maintained her “ground level” mission: On evenings and weekends she led gang intervention work in South Central Los Angeles. It was through watching the epidemic of youth violence she knew she wanted to make a bigger change in the lives of young people.

The big leap from the corporate world to becoming a full time social entrepreneur came to Rha when she came across an organization doing peace education and conflict mediation work in the schools, and it hit her. That is what she wanted to be doing.

Within four months she had left her corporate gig — taking a 50%+ pay cut — and stepped into a new world where she learned how to use her love for hip hop artistry as a vehicle to help young people become change for themselves and for those around them.

Hear how Rha came to the revelation that she could do her soul passion — her great work to serve — and make money doing it without sacrificing her morals. It’s not a trade off. You can have both. Hear the full story this episode of Glambition Radio.

On the show, we discuss:

* how the right to belong is the theme running through the center of the issues we are grappling with in our world today — from gang violence to populism

* how she became a rapper and used spoken-word poetry “floetry” to process what was happening around her — violence, inequity, poverty — and how it brought the activist and artist within her together

* how Rha’s coaching and mentoring is all about supporting you in becoming more of who you already are

* what the current administration means for us: We all have a role to play. It’s our time to act.

* how we are shifting from the Age of Celebrity to the Age of the Citizen, and it’s time to create our own brand of contribution.

* her upcoming “True. Paid. Good. Summit”, Oct. 13-15, 2017 in New York. (Learn more and grab a seat at summit.movethecrowd.me )

Rha and I dive deep into the fear of change that so many women feel and how you have to let go of what doesn’t serve you anymore (even if you built it).

Today’s topic is a deep ride with my client Kavita J. Patel, whose insights on love and relationships are profound. And it starts with her own love story. After her partner of four years abruptly broke up with her, she blamed herself and promptly made several failed attempts to win him back (making him a gift basket, showing up on his door step, she did it all!), she finally had to let go.

But a year and half later, they got back together, and today they are married (with baby on the way, too!). But it’s how she changed herself that made the difference, and it’s something she explains in detail on this week’s Glambition Radio.

Kavita is a love and relationship coach whose mission is to help people understand that relationships are a window into the self. She has studied ancient eastern philosophy for 20 years, and her practical-meets-spiritual, no-nonsense method of coaching teaches her clients how to turn inwards to identify and release what she refers to as your subconscious past, to cultivate worthiness from within.

If you’ve felt unworthy of love or have struggled in your romantic relationships, you need to hear this episode of Glambition Radio.

On the show, we discuss:

* throwing away the dating “rules” — I share my own funny stories around trying all the methods in my earlier years!

* how relationships are the biggest force and contributor toward your own evolvement as an individual

* why we sometimes still feel lonely even when we are with somebody we love

* how understanding and releasing your subconscious past can transform you – and it’s not as painful a process as you may fear

* why it’s important to surround yourself with the right people and work with the right mentors

* her upcoming online course “Worthy from Within”

Hear how Kavita creating space to nurture her inner worthiness led to her finally landing a healthy and successful relationship — she takes us through her special 4-part process.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Kavita and I also talk about pregnancy brain, what to do if your guy is just being a jerk (where do we draw the line on developing ourselves?), and why it’s important to cultivate your curiosity.

You’re not going to want to miss this. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

***ALSO, if you’d like to know YOUR love type, and how it affects your love life and relationships, take Kavita’s QUIZ here. It’s pretty insightful!***

Love and Success,

The topic of this bonus episode is something that can dramatically change your coaching, consulting, or professional service business.

It can increase your revenues in a big way, very quickly. And it’s incredibly simple to do (once you know the ins and outs).

And it’s something I’ve been doing for over a decade, but have returned to them being a big part of my model in the last few years as I grew tired of the ‘launch hamster wheel’.

They are “VIP days”, which are simply one-day intensives done with individuals or small groups, in person or virtual.

I’ve seen VIP days work in all kinds of categories: business coaching, life coaching, executive consulting, fitness, wellness… even fashion and style. And you DON’T need a large list or launch process to get started!

My good friend and long-term client Kendall SummerHawk has these VIP days down to a science, and teaches a super formula you can follow right away. And together, we hosted a complimentary training call where we shared how you can apply our behind-the-scenes VIP Day secrets to your business.

It was SO good that I decided to post it here so more people could hear it!

Come listen in for a fun and VERY content-packed conversation on how to offer lucrative VIP offerings.

Here’s what we covered on the call:

* Simple, low-tech ways to use VIP Days to solve the, ‘How do I create cash flow quickly?’ question

* How easily VIP Days can give you the laptop lifestyle you love, to work from anywhere in the world

* An hour-by-hour schedule you can use immediately for your own VIP Days

* How to deliver your expertise in a VIP Day (learn the 4 styles and which works best for you)

* Exactly how much $ you can charge for your VIP Day (and own your worth in the process)

* PLUS… even a bit of juicy dish on VIP Day mistakes you will definitely want to avoid! (You’ll have a laugh with us on this one.)

I promise you’re going to love what you learn! All content, no B.S. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

P.S.  I’ve helped many clients add VIP Days to their business models and charge between $3K – $20K per day package, depending on their type of business, clients, and other factors. Why not you, too?

Come learn how you can add VIP days to your offerings — or improve your current VIP day model — on this BONUS episode of Glambition Radio.

Her interview-format “The Valley Girl Show” was nominated for an Emmy, she’s the fourth generation of her family to be a venture capitalist, and her new Halogen Ventures focuses on early stage investing in female founded consumer technology. Meet Jesse Draper on this week’s Glambition Radio.

When hosting “The Valley Girl Show”, Jesse not only helped pioneer the way for women in digital media, but she made it a point to make 50% of her interviews with women working in the tech industry. She has produced and distributed over 300 interviews with some of the greatest business minds, leaders, and personalities including; Sheryl Sandberg, Ted Turner, Mark Cuban, Elon Musk, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Jessica Alba, and Eric Schmidt. Her show helped propel Jesse to the top, and she was listed by Marie Claire magazine as one of the ‘50 Most Connected Women in America’.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, I have Jesse go back through the many layers of her success, how she moved from her previous acting career into the show, and why she’s so passionate about investing in the women’s tech space. 

On the show we discuss:

* how, after two years of reaching out to Mark Cuban, he finally said yes to being on her show, and how Jesse made it happen within 24 hours

* how she learned how to invest in the stock market through a game on an old CD-ROM

* her incredible upbringing learning about investing via her father and grandfather : She sat in on Skype’s first board meeting in Estonia when she was only 16

* how she broke the “news” of Sheryl Sandberg as a previous aerobics instructor, and the importance of keeping your guests at ease during an interview

* what makes a good interview and how to get a guest off their boring PR script

* why she has decided to step away from “The Valley Girl Show” temporarily

* her new show “Meet the Drapers” which will be the first time an audience can participate by not just voting but by investing

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Jesse and I also talk about the importance of confidence, standing up for your own opinions, how networking is not just about meeting people, how to see your vision through, and how our kids’ school schedules are NOT really set up for working moms at all! And we have a TON of fun.

In this encore episode you’ll get my best tips on how and when to get out and network in person. If you’ve been hiding behind your computer screen in your sweatpants and wondering why your business has stalled, then this week’s Glambition Radio replay is for you.

You can have the best product or service and a gorgeous website, but if you’re not putting yourself out there and meeting others in person, you are really doing yourself a disservice.

I was inspired to originally record this previous episode of Glambition Radio after attending three incredible events in a row: the Forbes Women’s Summit, the Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network event, and the United Nations Foundation Global Accelerator.

Yes, I had to pack, get my nails done, organize schedules, jump on an airplane, make sure my pants still fit, and leave my twins who were just a year old at that time. :( And yes, it was stressful, exhausting, and a lot of work… with a big dose of mommy guilt too.

But it was 100% worth it.

As much as you think you don’t have time to network, I’m here to tell you that you do. Opportunities come through people. Meeting the right person can change everything for your business and your life.

But you need a strategy for effective, successful networking, and these tips will help you. I hope you enjoy this encore replay!

She created Addyi, the first FDA-approved drug for women with low libidos, dubbed by the media as “the female Viagra”, and sold the company that created it —Sprout Pharmaceuticals — for $1 BILLION. And now, Cindy Whitehead isn’t slowing down. She’s created the Pink Ceiling… a venture to help more women focused businesses get the funding they need to skyrocket like she did.

A fitting name given Cindy’s signature pink outfits and matching lipstick — the new company is a cross between a VC firm, a ‘pinkubator’ and a consulting enterprise. Her mission is to mentor, invest in, launch. and build other women led or focused businesses, helping them come to market and scale.

But first, on this episode of Glambition Radio, I make Cindy go back through her career, how she believed in herself, and — helloooooo — how exactly do you build a company that sells for a BILLION dollars?

On the show we discuss:

* how Cindy got started in the pharma industry and made a decision to focus on helping women

*why being underestimated can actually be a HUGE advantage in business

*how she got a boardroom of men in all grey suits to stop chuckling at her and actually listen to her pitch (even while wearing pink!)

*her mission for Pink Ceiling now, in her words, has to do with ‘making a lot of women really f-ing rich’)

*the joy and agony of selling a company that includes the idea you birthed

*(this was my nosy question) HOW the money officially arrives when you sell a business for $$$ billions!

Cindy has been featured in The New York Times, Associated Press, Financial Times, Vanity Fair, Bloomberg, CNBC, CBS, Fox, Yahoo and has been on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine. She has been an invited speaker at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women, at the Fast Company Innovation Festival, SXSW and Inc. Women about what it takes for breakthrough business success. Hear why Fortune called her “a tireless force of nature” on this episode of Glambition Radio.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Cindy in person several times now, and I have to tell you this gal is the real deal — brilliant, beautiful, driven, warm, and ready to take on more.

You cannot miss Cindy and we have her on this week’s Glambition Radio. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

She ignored her instincts and looked outside herself for happiness for the first four decades of her life. But overriding her intuition led to domestic abuse, failed businesses, and bankruptcy. It was Suzy Batiz’s second bankruptcy at age 40 that propelled her on a spiritual quest, where she rediscovered tapping into her own higher power for creativity and ideas.

It took her nine months to start Poo~Pourri — the ‘before-you-go’ toilet spray — and it was a slow beginning (she had to beg people people to take the product!). A year later she did $1 million in revenue, mostly by word of mouth. This year is her 10-year anniversary and she has built what is now a $300+ million business. And with 100% ownership. (No investors running her show.)

How did she do it? You’ll hear the play-by-play story on this week’s Glambition Radio.

The business was birthed out of her true passion and belief in the product, and in herself. She didn’t (and still doesn’t) have a business plan, a big goal, or even people in her life who believed in her idea (even her husband didn’t get it!). But SHE knew she could do it.

Suzy pressed forward because… it made her happy. She calls it her ‘resonate idea’ and explains how she built Poo~Pourri using what she now calls her “Radical Resonance System” on this episode on Glambition Radio.

On the show we discuss:

What happened when she called a cellular biologist and asked him if an idea could be alive (you have to hear his answer!)

The importance of living moment to moment and how it’s changed her business (and life)

The milestones that really shot up her sales

When it’s okay to admit you have no idea what you’re doing

Why having a rough start can be a good thing (and what it says about you!)

The Poo~Pourri video that went viral in 2013 and how within two weeks she had $4 million in back order. (If you haven’t seen it, you’ll see why it went viral. Watch it here.)

Why you DON’T have to say yes (in fact, saying no could be exactly what you need to do!)

Why you need to stop pushing and start FEELING. (Hear how she tapped into her feminine framework to grow her business organically.)

This woman and I are singing the same song.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Suzy and I also talk about the importance of not waiting until you’re successful to be happy, why you need to trust yourself and not look to the external world for answers, and why being detached to your business can actually be a good thing.

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Taryn Brumfitt had no idea by sharing a non-traditional “before and after” image online to give her girlfriends a boost of self-acceptance would get so much attention. On the left, a posed and ripped Taryn in a bikini. On the right, a naked and plumper Taryn, completely comfortable in her own skin. The 2013 post initially generated over 100,000,000 views, her inbox was immediately flooded with thousands of emails, worldwide media began blowing up her phone, and by default, her Global Body Image movement was launched. This past year, her documentary EMBRACE was released as well, and we’ve got the full story on this week’s Glambition Radio.

Taryn’s documentary was Australia's most successful documentary last year. The film has had hundreds of screenings in the U.S., and in Germany EMBRACE even surpassed the opening nights of both Guardians of the Galaxy and King Arthur. The film shot to number one at the box office, beating male-led block-busters. It's a testament to how many women around the world are ready to change the conversation of how we view and value our bodies.

Hear Taryn’s full story and more about her EMBRACE film on this episode of Glambition Radio.

On the show we discuss:

* How Taryn handled the initial deluge of media interest, support… and the haters, who thought she was promoting obesity!

* Whether she has ever had a “vulnerability hangover” around it posting that image in the first place.

* Why she decided to create the Body Image Movement and what it’s doing around the world

* Why her Embrace film initially received a MA-15 rating in Australia (an R-rating here in the States) and how she fought the classification board to get it overturned

* The backlash from her fans when she posted a photo with Aussie active-wear guru Lorna Jane — you have to hear why it happened, how she handled it, and the good that’s come from it

* What she thinks about social media and how it’s supporting her movement (and how she teaches kids to use it to inspire their life)

* She and I also have a real chat about cosmetic surgery (her views may surprise you) and I share mine too.

Hear how Taryn turned the negativity and criticism she faced about her message (and her body) into a world-wide movement that has educated millions and has created a great shift in how we look at ourselves and others.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Taryn and I also talk about the importance of not taking yourself too seriously, how to stop being at war with you body, and why you need to trust yourself.
