  • Giovanna Capozza-Decisions, Decisions... Ugh!
    Decisions are simply a part of life. There are small daily ones with small consequences. And, there are the life-altering, enormous ones that can cause us a great amount of stress, anxiety and indecision. Since making decisions are inevitable, we need to know how to approach this process—especially if we find ourselves becoming STUCK in our own indecision. In this episode, Giovanna walks us through the process of decision making. She discusses how we can make a decision from a place of clarity and peace instead of one that is influenced by our own ego and rational thinking. She discusses the NEED to tap into our Source, Guide, or Higher Self to seek true direction and encourages listeners in how they can make time in their busy lives to do so.
    Today’s episode is about decisions
    Giovanna has been a notorious, neurotic decision-maker
    A lot of people suffer from the agony of making decisions
    Please leave a comment or feedback on the She Rises website
    At the center of all your stresses is YOU
    Call in your higher self or source
    Ask yourself a question—a decision that is pending, or something that poses a challenge for you
    Ask the spirit or higher guidance to come and help us in this process of tapping in
    How did the process of tapping go for you? How did it affect you?
    The very place we need to go is usually the place which is the most difficult for us to connect
    Making quick decisions is something that eludes Giovanna
    Tapping into yourself is an exercise to know yourself within
    Cultivate and develop your ability to go into your quiet space
    People are so entrenched in the external world that they forget to listen to their internal world
    Your relationship to yourself and your relationship with your source is MOST important
    Trust in yourself is important for making decisions
    Giovanna shares a quote from Deepak Chopra, The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life
    Look at the Universe or Source from a different perspective other than suffering the consequences of making a wrong decision
    Indecision gets you stuck
    Where is your indecision keeping you stuck?
    How is does your indecision manifest in your life?
    A Course in Miracles’ has a lesson that says, “If I make no decisions by myself, this is the day that will be given to me”
    In your willingness to find the answer, you need to acknowledge that your ego and logical thinking is actually the one making the decision
    The decision that is made from logic and intellect is NOT from a place of peace and clarity
    Learning principles and then, applying principles are TWO different things
    Take a moment and connect with yourself
    Write down whatever question comes to you
    Make 2 columns – write your fears on the left side, and on the right, write the possibilities or outcomes
    What is influencing your decision-making?
    Willingness to ask and seek the answer to your questions is very powerful
    Acknowledge that you do NOT know the answer
    The sense of “knowing” is in the foreground and the small voice within you is usually placed in the background
    Indecision is a byproduct of not trusting yourself
    Intuitive Action and Massive Action should come together in every decision
    Exercise your decision-making muscle by spending at least 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night tapping into your Higher Self
    Your mind’s job is to constantly be working
    Notice your thoughts happening, but don’t shut them down
    Invite your guide
    Let go of your decision BEFORE proceeding to try and answer it again
    Surrendering your decision and asking your guide for the answer is KEY in this exercise
    When you get distracted, catch that you’ve gone astray and bring yourself back
    Trust that you can connect with your intuition and Higher Self
    Simona, today’s caller, is having trouble keeping herself accountable in tapping in and for not being committed in meditation
    At first, Giovanna had to schedule her tapping so she wouldn't forget
    She uses an iTunes album called, I Am Wishes Fulfilled Meditation Recordin

  • Shannon Confair - Mastering Visibility
    Shannon Confair's journey is one of true inspiration and courage. Shannon was working in the daycare her son was attending when she encountered her first entrepreneurial opportunity—being the photographer at her boss’s friend’s wedding. From that point forward, Shannon learned what it meant to own her craft and BE the professional photographer that she wanted to be as she journeyed onward towards her dreams. Tune-in to learn how Shannon navigated her business while raising her children. She emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself, knowing your target audience, reaching out to your community, and increasing your visibility—all the things that have contributed to Shannon’s success.
    Today’s episode guest is Shannon Confair
    Just recently, Shannon had Giovanna on her Facebook live show where they talked about Giovanna’s work surrounding women
    Shannon has a unique perspective seeing through a photographer’s lens
    Please send us your feedback and comments at the She Rises website
    Shannon was a teen mom and has been a photographer for 12 years
    She took a different path – she worked in the daycare her son went to
    Her boss knew she loved photography
    She covered for her boss’ friend’s wedding because they could not afford a professional photographer
    Her boss told her, “If you want to be a photographer, you have to call yourself a photographer”
    The wedding was a hit and Shannon started booking business from there
    Own and claim what you want to be
    Shannon had two more children and continued building her business while homeschooling the kids
    Homeschooling gave her the freedom to run her business as a mompreneur
    Shannon realized there isn’t really any perfect balance
    She plans her schedule in a way that everyone gets what they need
    When it feels off, adjust and move on
    Make priorities, have a vision and figure out the steps to make things happen
    7 years ago, Shannon and her family had to make a move to a new area
    She thought her business would boom, but it fell flat
    An online ad teaching one how to book brides was key for Shannon to take the next leap
    The program was $250—which was a large amount for Shannon at the time
    It was the best investment Shannon ever made for her business
    Shannon doubled her business that year
    After a few years, she burnt out on weddings so she dove into the online coaching world
    Shannon booked her dream brides because she was clear enough about where she wanted to niche down
    Knowing who you are and who you want to serve can dramatically increase your business
    She started a brand called Wildly Successful Moms, which she never monetized and came to realize she was missing photography
    She combined both the things that she loved; this birthed her current business model
    Shannon, like Giovanna, also had difficulty in putting herself out there
    Overcoming her visibility problem has allowed Shannon to help so many people
    One of Shannon’s biggest challenges was people thinking she was a fraud
    It wasn’t until she immersed herself with women that she realized they were all the same; they were all on a journey
    Joining certain communities helped Giovanna to step out
    Create better thoughts
    Before taking a single photo, Shannon discusses the vision of her clients want and how they want to be perceived by the world
    Shannon’s brand strategy always starts with a vision
    She spends a day with her clients to really get to know them
    “It’s like they finally see themselves for who they really are”
    Giovanna prescribes a photoshoot to her clients to capture their best moments so they can remember that they ARE that person, even if they don’t feel like they are at certain times
    Giovanna is an amateur photographer herself
    See yourself as the beautiful person you are, regardless of whether you’ve put on weight or not
    It’s important to have a photographer who has experience with women
    Your weight is NOT who you are. You are not your body.
    Shannon strongly believes that her purpose is to make a difference in this world

Devon was born and raised in New York City and shares the same energetic heartbeat, big personality and commitment to excellence as his hometown. Growing up, his love and hard work in sports resulted in him receiving a basketball scholarship to a school in North Carolina.
    After graduation he spent years working in the trenches for a non-profit organization, developing programs for youth, families and first-time fathers in some of the toughest neighborhoods throughout NYC. As Director of this organization he supervised social workers, psychiatrists and managers helping to improve the lives of children and families.

    In this episode, Giovanna introduces Devon Bandison, a prominent success coach and Tedx speaker. His book Fatherhood Is Leadership: Your Playbook for Success, Self-Leadership, and a Richer Life provides a fresh, modern take on fatherhood. The role of a father is no longer a no-nonsense, authoritarian approach. Instead, it is about bringing in influence, impact and intimacy into your relationship with your children. While a good father does not shy away from showing his flaws and vulnerability, he is also a role model to his children. Tune in as Devon Bandison, a father of four, shares his own story of discovery into the role of a father and how his insights break the mould of traditional parenting paradigms.
    Giovanna quotes Kahlil Gibran on raising children which describes the philosophy behind Devon’s book: Fatherhood Is Leadership: Your Playbook for Success, Self-Leadership, and a Richer Life

    This book manages to elicit tears as well as laughs from Giovanna
    Realized that women are so wrapped up in their own worlds that they fail to understand the trials of the men in their lives
    Helped her look at her father as a flawed person, and enabled her to let go of a lot of resentment that she had harbored for years
    Unable to cope with the death of Devon’s grandmother, his father turned to drugs
    Devon blamed himself for his father’s plight
    Relationships with parents majorly impact the decisions you make and stories you create in the initial years of your life
