powherfull inc startup stories

Karen DeLoach and I had a great time talking about God, healing and creative outlets for personal transformation. Which in effect, has been her very journey from Ministry to online entrepreneur.

Karen is an award-winning artist/art teacher, author, minister, wife, mother, grandmother and speaker/coach. She has a BFA in painting/ drawing and an MA in Studio Art. She has written three art books: How to Draw, How to Paint and Art History & Appreciation, which are used in her college and online classes.

By using art, Karen has released her God given gifts for her own well being and as a modality of pure expression and healing for others. Through art she helps people get to know themselves, express their emotions, release the past and create something beautiful to behold.

She "started off" as an artist, art teacher, and homeschooling mom. She discussed her passion for helping people, especially creatives, discover and express their God-given creativity. She has had to pivot and grow in who she is, in order to serve her gifts. A relatable journey as always.

The balance comes from bridging and balancing the left-brain and right-brain abilities, whether in business, art, or personal growth. We emphasized the importance of embracing both the analytical and creative aspects of oneself, and how this integration can lead to greater fulfillment, impact, and innovation.

A Coach for Book Coaches! With all the new opportunities for authors, the demand for expert coaching is high. But running a coaching business can be challenging. An provides strategies that allow book coaches to streamline operations and maximise their time. This empowers them to focus on mentoring authors through the publishing process effectively.

We are seeing books pop up like dandelions these days right? (I sure am - and its great! Creates such a solid platform and means of service for you!). but there is a difference between a GREAT book launch and a not so great one (I have seen both go down!).

An is here for the one who is there for you, behind the book! Her business was 10 years in the making. She isn't one of these "overnight successes" but she has found her niche and passion and been able to create sustainable revenue while enjoying her life, in fact putting life first.

She currently lives in Singapore, and children do not start school until age 7! So her business is built around raising her son, enjoying all that Singapore has to offer and leveraging her existing skills.

ITS NOT ALL ABOUT DOLLAR BILLS yo! I LOVE THIS EPISODE so much because its so normal!!!! No flashy marketing, just an honest real woman who built something that works for her and what she wants out of life. In the coaching industry!

You guys anything is possible, use discernment to build what you want, not what you are being sold xoxo

I am beyond honoured to introduce you to the extremely lovely and powherfull Bessi Graham. We were introduced by a mutual friend and I wasn't sure how I would my own with her, but here we are (note to you, you are worthy and capable because your heart is designed for what is placed in front of you!).

Bessi has built a substantial business around MERGING MONEY AND MEANING. She speaks about growing WHOLE-istically, not conditionally and fostering a business culture of impact, meaning, authenticity and money.... Using multiple factors for a robust model versus just cash grabs and multi figure high ticket (all that jazz the coaching world LOVES to go on about).

Her approach and guidance leads you to build a business in deep service versus for revenue priorities, BECAUSE SERVICE BRINGS REVENUE!

She pours into us in this episode and I soak up every little bit. You will find wisdom, genuine connection and clarity on how to fine tune your current business into one of deeper meaning, by merging your money to your meaning! xo

And please go find and follow Bessi - she hosts free workshops regularly to pour into you and teach you a higher way to build a business that fulfills your soul!

Confession - I have been admiring Steph's work for a while. Coming from the Online Business Manager world, Steph represents the GOLD STANDARD to me, from the outside of her biz...... I was THRILLED when she booked onto my show, a chance to speak to a biz crush! egad!

And then, it just gets better - because BEHIND all the amazing systems, success and platforms she has built for a truly wonderful approach in running a business, is a down to earth woman of HEART with self and mom worries like the rest of us.

GET TO KNOW WHO YOU FOLLOW. Do they let you behind the scenes? Can you feel their heart? These are the people who will really pour into you because they are not here to make a buck, they are here to serve. Steph is one of those people!

Sabine and I became insta friends! Watch out for us as we team up to serve you and help you grow yourself through growing your business.

When Sabine first started her entrepreneurial journey, she felt totally overwhelmed and kept overthinking her marketing and offers (i.e. too much thinking, not enough action). The insecurities and comparisons of whether or not she "was good enough" hindered her from just being who she is and creating the impact that is hers to create!

So she knows how it feels, internally and externally and that's why she now serves through Reach for Greatness - we all have "it", and we are what's in the way of achieving it.

I love Sabine's heart and genuine desire to see entrepreneurs succeed. It's not longer about her, but about how she can help others (read it between the lines, same goes with you! Get over yourself xo and get on with it!). We will lovingly encourage you with relatable stories and how in this episode xo.

Catherine was a real pleasure and easy guest. In this conversation we dive into leveraging your existing experience to start a business and finding your zone of genius therein. AND we get into all kinds of QUIZ elements as a lead generator for your business!

Personally I tried quizzes and fell flat but after this episode I feel empowered and willing to try again because its fun, easier than I thought and has potential for meaningful growth! (Pre-qualify your leads as Catherine says!).

Catherine was commuting upwards of 3 hours per day in her 30+ year corporate career in market research. Finally enough was enough and she started exploring other ways to bring in revenue. Network marketing was the first leap but she sucked at lead generation, when she found quizzes and started using those, SHE TRIPLED HER LEADS AND DOUBLED HER SALES.

Catharine O'Leary, known as the 'Quiz Queen,' is an expert in client connection. With over three decades in market research and consumer insights, she specializes in attracting ideal clients and boosting revenue. Her approach uses insightful questions to foster strong client relationships and grow businesses. Join her mission to harness the power of curiosity to connect with your ideal clients.

Sharon and I hit it off in EMAIL prior to our first face to face (virtual). This is how alive she is - you can feel her passion, her playfulness and her eagerness to get chomping on this new business with ZEST and OPENESS.

Sharon is actually designing a speaker's platform for herself, so she will be delivering her message to groups of women in person and online, to inspire, motivate and SHOW THEM just how much they gained in their years as a stay at home mom, and help hold them through the space of figuring out what they want to do when their kids grow up! (Isn't that a clever spin on the old "what you do want to do? tagline!).

I see this as filling the gap we often see in retirees - NOW WHAT. Fear, uncertainty and staying in the familiar. Well, one dose of Sharon will fire you up and she will support you through the skills you've mastered, the options to choose from; be it re-enter the workforce, start volunteering, choose a new hobby or start a business to name a few.

Because your story, is also her story.

After staying home with her three kids for 20 years, Sharon quite unexpectedly discovered the transformative power of motherhood. She realized she had developed a wealth of skills and knowledge that equipped her for a range of pursuits beyond the home, helping her establish her next act. Now, as her kids have grown and flown, she’s on a mission to empower moms to recognize their potential and chart new paths in life.  She did it herself- going back to school to bring her marketing skillset into the 21st century and started competing in Latin Ballroom dance. Sharon has had a blast reinventing herself and is loving hosting the Mom To MORE™ podcast, creating the Mom To MORE™ Guide and writing content for various clients.

Her free gift to you is her Mom To MORE™ Guide mini-book. 15 skills and talents you don't realize you have. https://mailchi.mp/0de1efbb94e6/mom-to-more-guide

Get in her space, be seen and reminded of just how much of you there is to share with the world!

Ladies & Ladies (& Gentlemen!!) introducing the one, the only, the Emily Taradash! A retired theater producer, a standup comic, a relationship coach and a recovered hustle woman. All of these incredible skills, talents, humour and heart blended into a dynamo of a woman whom I met for a virtual coffee while she sat outside in a parka and completely dropped in with me.

Instant chemistry and laughter, in this episode we explore the lessons under the experiences of life. Where to recognize time for growth AND how to choose starting that new path. Emily shares wisdom, humour and deep experiences that she overcame to become the woman she now references as "Your Married Wingwoman in Love, Community and Comedy" She truly embodies these elements and has evolved with her business, allowing space to explore what works for her and her clients (She started as a burnout coach!).

Emily is genuine, kind, insightful and I just want to hang out with her more! PS She is currently moving to Kansas which ups the fun factor for me, what about you? Kansas! Can't wait to see how she expands in all that nature and wonder!

Anne experienced the greatest loss of her life which is now the greatest gift to her, her family and those who want to heal and absorb some of their grief. In the retirement stage of life, the business is free to just be of service and this relationship also brings a more pure approach and ability for impact. So as you listen, consider how it would feel to have that genuine purpose of service, detached from outcome, as this is a powerful way to build your business (what I like to call "heartset").

Anne is doing well, clients find her organically but she isn't solely offering her service though the business. The service, grief counselling and its connection to disarray, is about helping people carry loss with them. And this is something she wants to have widely available because she needs it for her own grief process and to honour her son, whom she lost.

How would you run your business if you were doing for the pure pleasure and desire to connect with someone and serve them?

What would you be able to let go of?

All this attachment weighs us down and detracts from the honest, behind the scenes "thing" we wish to create - the impact, the transformation, the support, for someone else. As you listen to this episode lean in to these themes and consider how you can let go in order to receive.... OXOX

ps - I love Anne's heart, she is a genuine and caring woman who can relate and hold the space for others as a true gift, as a true bi-product of her experience and transformation. Her service is the result of her growth and her true heart revealed.

Shaina has God sized dreams all right, or more like He has God Sized Dreams for her! And what's beautiful about this reversal is that she knows her work is not on her shoulders, her worth or her self belief. Her gifts are as an Administrator & Encourager. Her heart is so big matched with a mind for strategy and organization.

Opening to God's plans for her life is not always easy, but it is always possible and carrying that sense of peace has increased, improved and proved clarity for her purpose and service to others.

We talk about creating ourselves in order to show up and serve. We both have young children, demands in life and a strong desire to be part of something bigger. One such tool that Shaina introduced me to is the Sacred 60 Challenge (links below). What has been so integral for both of us in using this challenge is the accountability and data on how much we show up as HER.

Having some sort of tool could be the right technique for you to see and appreciate what actions you are taking and motivate you to keep going. It certainly has helped me understand what flows easily (business, journalling, reading) to what I resist (exercise, prayer, learning).

One of the take away's here being - find something to help you stay committed and tap into the supernatural power available all around you to make the journey a little easier - or rather, possible.
