The Empowerment Formula

The in between stages are the most difficult. When you're in accomplishment mode vs achievement mode is a crucial time when the foundation of any endeavor is being created. It is also a time when many people start to waver, even falter. If you have started down a new path and you're beginning to wonder if....when....how....listen to this podcast.

A post script of last weeks podcast, which was in defense of Iggy Azalea. Not only did Eminem call her out in his new song, Ariel Winter decided to pile on. It's Good Girl Mafia 101: we don't have to be everyone's best friend, but we do have to be a sister to every woman. This week, I discuss the over investment in opinions, especially in the age of Social Media. And the irony of me being a part of it isn't lost on me; but I try to do it differently.

In defense of Iggy Azalea....because we don't have to be everyone's best friend, but we DO have to be a sister to every girl. Good Girl Mafia's tag line is, "It takes a bad ass to be a good girl. Don't forget about other girls." Iggy Azalea included. Ariel Winter's piling on to Iggy after she defended herself to being included in Eminem's new song is a prime example of what Good Girl Mafia stands for. So, this is in defense of Iggy Azalea...

A little something to help you turn the tables in your mind when you feel the sting of "maybe they don't like me".
