The Live with Audacity™ Podcast - Women Overcoming Society

You know how most people start businesses and then hustle, hustle, hustle all day every day because they are just conditioned to believe that having your own business requires that? Well, my guest today is Michelle Andersen, owner of Flourish – landscape design firm, and a business coach, and we do NOT believe that. We agree that we are too pretty to be that stressed out and require ease in our businesses. Haha. 

She sits down today with me to talk about how she successfully handed over the daily management of her business, how she avoids the hustle expectations of a business owner, and so much more. Join me for this candid conversation on ease and alignment and why it’s so important in our businesses.

Artist, Designer, Coach, Author & Entrepreneur, Andersen connects clients to the most bold, brave, and confident versions of themselves through her ventures. Based on her own discovery and study on how to create the most authentic lifestyle, Andersen offers guidance and ease to those looking to achieve a more aligned version of who they are. Her brands include a design/build landscaping company that connects people to who they are & where they are, a mindset coaching practice that helps people shift from being reactors in life to being creators, and a deer proofing expertise method that enables gardeners to have flourishing gardens amidst challenging deer browse.

This episode is something I looked forward to recording for weeks!! Chandler Hatchett is a God-loving woman who turned a successful blog around wellness into an online media publication called, “The H is for…” We talk a lot about God and running from Him and His calling, learning to have faith that He has it all under control, and some cool things that have happened since doing so. 

Now, I have to warn you. We recorded this on a day when we had massive storms moving through TX and we kept losing connection so the recording is a little choppy. I truly believe our conversation will move mountains in someone’s life and the devil himself was just trying to keep us from getting it out there. But we persevered and we got it done.  

If you are spiritual at all, please listen to this episode and muddle through it because I promise you are going to get a whole lot of goodness shot straight to your heart. 

Born and raised the oldest of five in Austin, Chandler has always had a vibrant personality and zest for life. She now lives in Dallas with her husband, their two children and two, large, rescue dogs. Outside of her family duties,  Chandler is an author, speaker, and the founder and editor in chief of The H is For…. Chandler believes that faith and wellness go hand in hand and is passionate about the modern woman and equipping her to be the best version of herself. She’s the author of A Proverb a Day: a month long quest for Godly-wisdom and Christian Character and is often posting funny moments as a mother of two on Instagram. 

At 21, Chandler was diagnosed with gluten intolerance and an autoimmune disease linked to her thyroid. This changed the way she looked at living and transformed her focus towards an all-natural lifestyle. While not everything she does is “all natural”, she strives to make it a priority and is learning as she goes.

As a child at Kanakuk, a Christian summer camp, Chandler was introduced to the ‘Four Square Life’ concept based on the truth found in Luke 2:52. As she embarked on her own wellness journey as a young adult, she realized that life is best made when you approach growth the way Jesus did, growing “in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God and in favor with man.” She believes that living well is only achieved when you strive to grow spiritually as well, with spirituality based on Biblical truth. Her dream is that every woman who visits The H is For… will click away inspired, encouraged, and equipped to make the most out of the life they’ve been given.

Often, when we are faced with so much adversity in our lives, we can turn inward and face life as a victim of our circumstances. Learning to use those events to become who you are meant to be and show others they can also heal from their past to be the best version of themselves is a much more productive way to use our pain. And that’s exactly what I talk about with today’s guest. I was so blessed to speak with Alessandra (Aley) Desiderio about some incredible obstacles through her life and use them to bless others. 

Aley is a serial entrepreneur and mom who has fought to overcome homelessness, cancer, the loss of her daughter, domestic violence, and divorce. She has dedicated her life to making an impact in the areas of family issues and security, justice, equality, education, and creating economic opportunity.

Alessandra is the head strategist for Fiore3 Consulting and leads a team of consultants in the areas of human resources, sales & marketing, and operations. She has personally worked with a variety of nonprofits and businesses to streamline their development practices and create or review the processes that make their business work. In service of the communities her team works in, Fiore3 contributes to various startup, impact, and community projects that serve families, businesses, and the environment.

As a result of her own insufficient and expensive childcare issues raising children as a single parent, Alessandra created Crew Childcare Rewards App, a technology solution to the high cost of childcare. The app pays parent users to share information about the care options in their area; draws a map of care check-ins for parents; and offers providers a marketplace where they can buy field trip vouchers, classroom supplies, and services for their center.

In this episode of the Live with Audacity Podcast, Michaela and I discuss the "woo" of business. So many times, the "woo" gets a bad reputation because everyone knows you can't just think positively and have things come to you. You actually have to believe and listen to your intuition, or messages from the universe, as I like to call them. Michaela and I discuss a message she received from the universe that she felt she had to get out, and in turn, guided her as well. Tune in to hear all about it!

I was so excited to talk to Eleisha Clayton of Pink Girl Media about being your true self. So many times, especially as new entrepreneurs, we try to imitate people who already have it all figured out, but the truly successful don’t imitate ANYONE. They work every day to be true to who they are in order to build a life they love. That’s exactly what Eleisha and I talk about. We also have a super honest conversation about anxiety and depression and how hard it is to be a mom. This conversation was so fun, even though we talk about a lot of deep subjects. If you’ve ever wanted to be in on a girly conversation, this one is the best!

Eleisha Clayton is a mom, podcast host, and social media manager.  Instagram is her jam and she’s also a Facebook fan!  She takes social media off of the plate of lady entrepreneurs, so they can have time do the the things they love to do in their business.  Eleisha is a connector by nature and loves to be creative.  She also has a Master’s degree in technology and experience in editing.  She is a former special education teacher and loves all things girl power!

Have you ever felt like it's too late to pursue your dreams? Felt like so much time had passed that there's no point to starting over? I've been there, too. But Kat teaches us in today's episode that it doesn't matter at all when you start, as long as you get going. She made her mind up in 2009 and today, she owns her own CPA firm. She knew time would pass anyway and figured, what would be the point of living if she wasn't doing what she wanted. Kat's message is so inspiring!

Kat graduated from the University of Houston with her Bachelors of Accounting in 2013, obtained her CPA in 2014, and obtained her CFE in 2015. Katherine is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants; the Houston Society of Certified Public Accountants where she is the Vice-Chair of the Steering Committee for the Student Auxiliary, as well as serving on the Board.

This week's episode is special to me as I got to have my first male guest! I want to make sure this podcast is made just for you so it was so important to me to get the best of the best on and Avery Taylor is it. Avery and I cover a whole host of topics including balancing marriage and family with busy schedules, how your mindset is the key to your success, and most importantly, how to trust yourself when you're ready to step out on your own.

Avery Taylor is an energetic, straight-from-the-heart, young man who has a passion for motivating and inspiring everyone he encounters. Beginning his career in corporate America years ago, he found value in helping others to be their best self. This motivated him to transition into real estate and become a Realtor who brings a wealth of knowledge and believes in educating his clients along with motivating them in buying, selling and leasing real estate in the nation's 4th largest city. As a native of the Houston area, focusing on creating a familiarity with his clients, they have come to respect and rely on him because of this trust-filled approach.

While editing episode 03, I realized I wanted to dive so much deeper with Yolanda into what holds us back from manifesting our biggest dreams. I needed to get to the bottom of how to get over our limiting beliefs, our comparisonitis, and truly start believing in ourselves. We discuss how to work through our fears, how to get that breakthrough to move us to the next level in our dreams, and how to finally GET OVER IT rather than just move on from our hurtful memories.

This episode is filled with tangible information about how to heal your heart and start believing you're worthy! You are going to get so much good stuff out of this one.
