She Has The Audacity with Chana Ross

Is empathy infectious? My guest this week is the first to say yes, without a doubt. Kim Smiley's Empathy Empire is an endeavor to create a new world order one built on the dream to illuminate the world. Kim is an artist, fashion designer, and social entrepreneur. She believes in beauty for the public good and has created a line of jewelry that incorporates elements of empathy and social good into each piece.

Kim shares her audacity by showing us how important it is to believe that when you take the leap, the net will appear. By following and living her dream, Kim has created a Confederacy of Dreamers, and this is only the beginning.

This week, we chat about:

→The Empathy Effect

→Imposter Syndrome

→Setting your Boundaries

→And more!

In this week's episode, I am joined by my lifelong friend, Rahel Bayar. After spending many years as sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor, and a managing director of the sexual misconduct division of a global investigative company, Rahel made the realization that creating safe spaces is crucial and very rarely a "one size fits all" approach. She created The Bayar Group, servicing large corporations to create safety within them - bridging the gap between best practices and policies.

Rahel shares her audacity by connecting with parents, organizations, and everyone in between to use her experiences to help fuel her desire for a safer world. By acknowledging the importance of creating balance within her personal and professional life, Rahel has been able (and will no doubt continue to) create some good in a time that often feels very not good, and is very hard to navigate.

We chatted about:

→Setting energetic boundaries

→Using rituals to stay grounded

→Coming to your work whole

→ And more!

Emily Getz shares her audacity by encouraging others to take the leap into believing in something they might not be able to see, yet.

Despite Emma's seemingly endless list of accomplishments, she recognizes that making room for play is essential in building a life we love. Emma shares her audacity by taking ownership of her life and supporting others to do the same. She reminds us that our worth isn't tied to how much we've done in a day or what we produce - it's all about living intentionally, no matter how different it is from everyone else. Emma is here to let us know that her career in healthcare doesn't define her, rather she gets to define what it means to her.
