Amy Stanton founded Stanton & Company with a passion for promoting and building positive female role models and messaging for women. Before founding her company Amy served as the first-ever Chief Marketing Officer for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

Her book The Feminine Revolution: 21 Ways to Ignite the Power of Your Femininity for a Brighter Life and a Better World, shows us that feminine traits that were once disparaged as weaknesses -- such as sensitivity, intuition, and feeling emotional -- need to be reclaimed as powerful strengths that can be embraced as the keys to a happier life for everyone!

Episode Description:

With our one year anniversary and 50th podcast episode approaching we decided to catch up with our top 2 most listened to podcast episodes. JoAnne Lord, our most listened to podcast, had revealed she had battled breast cancer on our podcast, something she had never spoken about publicly before. We’re going to find out what happened after the episode aired, how she feels about the uptick of violence against Asian Americans and how she pivoted her business, Mali + Lili , to thrive in the pandemic. Our second most popular podcast was with Patty Ivins. Patty and I spoke about white men getting a pass for their bad behavior, raising good kids and the exciting projects she was to begin filming. In this update Patty talks about turning 50, how women can come together by finding their voice, and why “Deconstructing Karen” is the responsibility of ALL white women.

Coonoor wrote the highly anticipated book:

“I Quit! The Life- Affirming Joy of Giving Up!”

Quitting carries a lot of stigma and shame in society, with connotations of “failure” or “not being able to stick it out” prevailing. Sayings such as “Quitters never win” have tricked us into believing that maintaining the status quo is always the “right” thing to do...or is the less risky choice. In fact, in life it’s a risk if you do AND it’s a risk if you don’t. Quitting is a choice...but so is not quitting.

This book is a collection of stories of everyday, real people and how they summoned the courage to quit things in their lives. Stories include quitting: jobs and careers, people and relationships, habits, aspirations, and identities. Every story shows an individual batting but ultimately triumphing over expectations - their own and others’ - to quit what was no longer serving them and make greater progress toward what they want in life.
