Today on the podcast, Womxn on the Moon founder Shannen Garza Hakim joins Kalish to discuss leading a jewelry brand that focuses on uplifting marginalized communities. She previously spent nearly 10 years working for various non-profit organizations that created college and career access for students of color. Because of her background in advocacy, she knew her business needed to do more than offer unique products, it needed to make a community impact.
WOTM has been proud to be featured in several publications since opening in 2020. As a business that started during the pandemic and a company that works to create more representation for Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ individuals, there have been several opportunities to showcase the magical story of how WOTM began.
Today, she discusses sustainability in business, prioritizing wellbeing as a founder, and the lessons she learned from her work with nonprofits and in building her jewelry brand.

One would think if you are a leading voice in high-end positioning and sales and your wines have been featured in the White House, you must be in a constant state of hustle. However, Chrystal Clifton is not about that life. Chrystal does not believe that building a profitable business requires hustle and burnout. Instead, her methods emphasize giving yourself permission to be premium, aligning profits with purpose, building a business and lifestyle that suits the owner, and allowing growth through authenticity and flow.
I invite you to be proactively present and join us as we discuss:
What happens when we hit blocks in our business
The importance of giving yourself permission to sell
The power of the phrase "Even though" that helps move business forward
How mentors, coaches and accountability partners can help you achieve your goals
Engaging with online groups and meetups
The value of energy exchanges
Putting yourself as a line item in your business
What does your premium business look like
Reframing how you do sales
Direct to Consumer vs Business to Business

I am absolutely thrilled with this season wrap-up! I can't believe I could finish this passion project; it truly feels like a huge accomplishment to me. I've had to put off some projects to prioritize business, but having a team like Bethany's at Crackers in Soup has really helped me with all of the technical difficulties behind a podcast.
I also want to thank my beautiful guests for sharing all of their stories and time with me. Moving into the next season, I will be focusing on my passion for retail, e-commerce, and the fashion industry, so I will be inviting CEO and founders of product-based industries onto the podcast.
I will be taking a little bit of a break after these months of healing and only saying yes to the things that make me happy!
Thank you, everyone! Looking forward to coming back to the show in October.
As a bonus: A guided meditation.
