  • Podcast Swap: Big Deal Energy with Laura Khalil

    Have you ever found yourself stuck at life's crossroads, questioning your purpose? We're all familiar with that age-old question we first encountered as children:
     'What do you want to be when you grow up?' 

    But today, I challenge you to shift your focus from the future to the present. Let's replace that question with 'What do you want to do today?' As adults, we write our own life map, and it’s time we shift our perspective on what it truly means to be alive.

    Join me as I share some personal insights from my journey of self-discovery. We'll explore the concept of a 'yes day' – a day dedicated to saying yes to what brings joy into our lives. Through these experiences, I've realized that what we're truly seeking is not a specific purpose or meaning in life, but the vibrant feeling of being fully alive. Is it really necessary for our purpose to be linked to our profession? Let's rethink the paradigms and reshape our lives to find what truly makes us feel alive. Our true purpose might just be the exhilaration of living in the present. So why wait for tomorrow? Let's seize today and live it on our own terms.

  • Amy Peterson Talks: The Power of Investing in People

    Meet Amy Peterson, a trailblazer driven by a deep passion that inspires. She keeps a box of rejection letters as a reminder of her determination to succeed and has created a company dedicated to empowering women. Rebel Nell is not just a business; it exists to provide equitable employment opportunities and support for women facing barriers to employment.

    Through Rebel Nell, women are encouraged to tap into their infinite strength and create wearable art from repurposed materials. With over 40 graduates and 9+ years of impact, Rebel Nell continues to grow in strength and reach. But the true impact, according to Amy, is yet to be seen and will be appreciated by future generations.

    In addition to Rebel Nell, Amy's nonprofit arm, T.E.A. (Teach. Empower. Achieve.), provides women with the resources they need to achieve financial stability, including housing, education, and legal aid. But Amy's mission is more profound than just making a profit. She is in the people business and wants to teach women about sustainability for their own lives, lift them out of poverty, and help them achieve long-term success.

    Explore Rebel Nell's stunning jewelry, and you'll discover the true beauty lies in the stories they tell, the resilience of the artists behind the pieces, and the ripple effect of Amy's purposeful life. Listen to Amy speak, and you'll hear the fear of failure not for herself but for everyone who believes in the mission. Join the Rebel Nell movement and become part of the story worth sharing.
