Our patriarchal culture and human brains are consistently looking for ways to invalidate you. Your internalized beliefs tell you you're not worthy enough, you didn't do enough, and that goal you didn't reach wasn't good enough. So many of us don't believe in our own value, and don't validate ourselves on a regular basis.

I love to do a year in review at the end of every year. It's my opportunity to look back at all of the amazing things I've created, all of the things that I'm proud of, what I've learned, what I was willing to try and fail at, and who I've become in the process.

In this week's episode of the podcast, learn my review process and some great questions to ask as you try this process yourself.

In this episode you'll learn:

• My proudest moments this year
• How to evaluate your year in business
• Powerful questions to ask yourself
• My favorite prompts to take this work even deeper

...and so much more!

This November was a $170k month. A 300% increase over the last time I launched the mastermind less than a year ago (with an unheard of renewal rate). All while spending time traveling, taking the time I needed to grieve the loss of my dad, working less, and taking radical care of myself. This week I'm sharing how I did it so you can do it, too.

This is what's possible for women and girls everywhere. Women can and should make as much money as they want, and when women make more we do good shit with it for the whole world. THAT changes the patriarchy and cultural biases within us and around the world.

This is my sacred mission. What I'm put here on the earth to do. Messy and unprofessional. My way. I want to help you do the same in 2022.

Ready to roll into 2022 like a Bad Bitch, have more fun, and crush your income goals?

In this episode you'll learn:

• The 3 categories that led to 300% growth
• The belief you'll need to increase your price
• How to elevate your copy
• Everything I DIDN'T do (this one was hard!)

...and so much more!

Having a podcast is one of the things a lot of us want to do in our businesses, and then we layer on these ideas that restrict us behind the mic. We think it has to look like another person's podcast, sound a certain way, and the content can't be too polarizing.

There is so much power in unleashing exactly what you are so that you can be visible, and your job is to set yourself free from those limiting ideas so you can show up visibly in the world.

This week, I'm joined by my friend, colleague, and client Kara Gott Warner on all things visibility!

In this episode you'll learn:

• What really holds you back from being yourself in your marketing
• How to unleash your voice and be REALLY visible to your audience
• The #1 thing that ensures your success and makes you unfuckwithable
• How to get out of your head and serve your people
• How to make being visible and massive action fun for yourself

...and so much more!

More about Kara:

Kara is a Certified Life Coach and podcast queen since 2014. She helps life coaches create, launch, and grow successful podcasts. She also works with her clients to unleash their inner peacock, unfurl their feathers, and be themselves so they can move mountains behind the microphone.

You can learn more about Kara on Instagram, Facebook, or her website.

This week I'm joined by my friend and colleague, Elyse Conroy, for a conversation about the value of being imperfect in your marketing and business!

Elyse left a 15+ year career in the beauty industry and has so much to share on the unrealistic expectations of perfectionism we have of ourselves and the reality of what goes on behind the scenes.

She's sharing her experience on monetizing insecurity, the impossibility of trying to achieve perfection, and creating a foundation of confidence.

In this episode you'll learn:

• How the patriarchy and perfectionism are running the beauty industry and what that means for you.
• Why being your imperfect self creates safety for your audience to buy.
• What perfectionism really is and 2 ways it might be showing up in your marketing.
• How to create your own inner safety to be imperfect on social media.
• Why a foundation of confidence is so important for running a business.

...and so much more!

More About Elyse:

Elyse aspired to make women feel good about themselves from the outside in with the products she created, but realized when we try to fix ourselves from the outside in, it simply doesn't work and the results aren't sustainable. The confidence the products helped consumers create was only to be washed down the sink every night once their mask was removed.

She knew there was a different way to create the feelings we are all looking for and just like that, she left her career in beauty behind and went all in on her dream of launching her company Soul Makeup.

She now teaches high performing women every day the importance of creating confidence from within through 1:1 Coaching, Retreats, Workshops and Motivational Speaking and is on a passionate mission to help thousands of women feel more confident in both life & business.

You can learn more about Elyse on Instagram or her website.
