She Rises (The Original)

On this episode of She Rises, Host Giovanna Capozza interviews Kelly Lynn Adams, former corporate fashion industry powerhouse turned certified business, leadership and life coach.

Adams discusses how burnout in her corporate job lead to the universe helping her discover how to teach people to juggle it all.

Your body will let you know when you’re pushing too hard or doing too much.

It doesn’t matter where you are, high-achieving women have a high stress level because we put pressure on ourselves.

There’s always going to be where you want to be and where you are and the gap in-between.

We’re so focused on the vision that we don’t stop to celebrate.

You can still want more for yourself, but not at the expense of your mind and self-esteem.

The more you slow down and are present, things start to flow, and people can feel your energy.

Focuses on three pillars with the women she works with: mindset, time, monetizing in the business.

You can only achieve your business goals if you’re your best asset.

The only secret to success is consistency and small, daily, right action.

If you take 30 minutes a day and devote it to your business for 90 days, you will see results.

If you think there’s something more but you don’t know what it is, do something you love to do as a child and do something outside your comfort zone.

Tweetable Quotes:

“We need to slow down to speed up.”

“You can still love what you do and get to a place where you crash.”

“Your destination is a moving target, be at peace and grateful.”

“When your mind is at peace, you get divine downloads.”

We don’t let ourselves speak out our desires with no consequences like we should.

Every time your intellectual choice aligns with the voice inside, you’re likely to be happy with your choice.

When you make a plan, you don’t have to renegotiate every day with fear.

You have to get over shame, ego and former identities to go for your dream.

Your creativity and enjoyment of life can’t come out if you’re living in fear.

Whatever you choose is fine, just don’t choose it out of fear.

We tend to make things either/or instead of both/and, let’s talk about the next step.

Our desires get masked by our dissatisfaction in other areas.

Why work-life balance doesn’t work and how work should be in service to the life you’re building.

Start with confidence and before you’re ready and the world will open up for you.

Tweetable Quotes:

“I own all of my decisions, and there’s power in that.”

“Some of the wisest people don’t have degrees on their wall.”

“Only you can end your story.”

On this episode of She Rises, Host Giovanna Capozza talks about the concept of witch as healer.

What are the connotations that you have with the word “witch,” is it negative?

We use these magical personifications to reflect power that we think is outside ourselves.

For centuries witches were healers and went to the natural world for answers.

Patriarchal societies demonized witches because they were taught to fear powerful, sovereign women.

We tend to compartmentalize the spiritual or witchy side of ourselves.

Where have we lost connection with our magical being and how are we numbing her out?

The feminine aspect of god that wants to express through you is the “She” in She Rises.

Start asking yourself where you’ve neglected your inner healer, witch, priestess, medicine woman, etc.

Created a program called Business Magic for the entrepreneurial woman who is ready to own her inner witch.

Ask yourself, where is that witch archetype in my life? Is she showing up as the shadow-side and you can’t get where her light is?

Start to make peace with your inner witch if you’ve had negative connotations.

Write down questions you’d like answered about yourself and ask during meditation, allowing your inner witch to answer.

Tweetable Quotes:

“As women, we’ve had to live and survive in a very patriarchal world.”

“When you tap into her beauty and magic, there’s a deep sense of sovereignty that helps you approach things without being easily ruffled.”

On this episode of She Rises, Host Giovanna Capozza talks to Lillie Mae, PR Powerhouse. She’s the President of Lillie Mae PR and creator of the Glambitious Empowerment Network.

Lillie Mae went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, got an internship at Motown Records – this was the beginning of her career.

Her Motown internship helped her develop her thirst and propel her ambition for a thrilling career with a lot of excitement.

One of her earliest challenges was to not overthink ideas, causing them to not take risks.

Women need to be their biggest fans and their own biggest promoters; consider working with a publicist if you have a budget.

To cultivate a successful brand, you have to let people know about your wins.

#1 DIY PR tip: If possible, get to know some of the media in your area that speaks to your target demographic.

Don’t discount some of the smaller media platforms and don’t be afraid to pitch yourself to bloggers in your area of expertise.

The biggest mistake people make in promotions: Promoting themselves to the same group of people, not outside their network.

As a business owner, hone in on your skillset, but also think outside of the box. Have a menu of offerings.

Lillie Mae has materialized a desire to cultivate success in other women and provide them resources.

Her new book, Glambitious Guide to Greatness is written by over 30 co-authors and inspires women in different areas of life, business and personal.

Lillie Mae came from humble beginnings, but she knew it wouldn’t be like that forever – she lived by that mindset.

Tweetable Quotes:

“As women, we sometimes get caught up in self-doubt.”

“You have to grow comfortable with the possibility of something not working out.”

“The only failure lies in taking the risk, but not getting the lesson.”

“This moment is not my forever.”
