The SheFactor Podcast

Ever wonder how a people-pleasing perfectionist defines success?! It's probably not what you’d think... Today's guest on our mini-series Success in 6 Minutes has a pretty simple formula for success: Naps (and snacks, duh...), Gratitude (all the blessings, rainbows & unicorns), and making sure your close circle is elevated. But it hasn't always looked like that. 

Cheyenne Baker is a 24-year-old with a penchant for expressing her thoughts through writing and amusing rants on her IG stories. With an eclectic style and a heart of service, Cheyenne helps women end perfectionism and leap out of their quarter-life crises. On any given day, you can find her trying to maintain a zen vibe with tacos, tequila, and booty rubs. Cheyenne fully embraces a lifestyle of “both, and..” where two seemingly opposite ideas are combined to beautifully embody her experience. A proud proclaimer of all things sophistiratchet; Cheyenne holds space for those in her many circles to twerk and meditate, wear stilettos and sneakers, eat arugula salads, and kool-aid pickles. 

Get your ticket to the SheLeads Success Summit to join Cheyenne's workshop, Not Your Perfect Perfectionist: Many people think they have to be the stereotypical a-type person to struggle with perfectionism. That's simply not true. In this workshop, you'll learn the five stages of the perfectionism cycle and how to work with your perfectionism so she's no longer wreaking havoc in your life.

In honor of Women's History Month, we're asking ourselves... "What does it mean to be a woman?"

For today's guest Melissa Herrera, being a woman means being resilient. Melissa is the host & creator of Mimosa Sisterhood, a women’s history & lifestyle podcast dedicated to celebrating & amplifying women’s voices, past and present. But don't mistake her for a historian. What started as two girlfriends in college studying feminist history who regularly ditched class to drink at the bar, has now turned into a weekly celebration of women's stories with Melissa's unique spin of "equal parts feminist and equal parts party girl"!

Melissa's mission is to set the record straight about women in history by sharing captivating stories of women whose stories were either swept under the rug or completely written over. And to celebrate this month of HERstory, we asked Melissa to bring three of her favorite must-know women of history to talk about on the podcast today!

In this episode, we chat about…

Healing our wounds by learning other women's stories

Three of her fav women in history (see below 😉 )

The lessons she's learned about womanhood by studying history

What being a woman means to her

Woman #1: Girl Scouts Founder Juliette Gordon Low

The revolutionary part she played in WWI and her mission to empower women to help one another while helping humanity

How her legacy lives on to impact millions of young girls still today

Woman #2: The Canadian Rosa Parks, Viola Desmond

Her empowering story of entrepreneurship wiped from history (or so she thought) as a result of racial injustice

The redemption and justice that came 50+ years after her death

Woman #3: World-renowned photographer and pioneer Gerda Taro 

Her courageous and iconic career as a war photographer falsely credited to an alias her ex-boyfriend claimed as his own

Her scandalous death thought to have been an intentional hit due to her outspoken stance on anti-fascism

Let’s talk WOMANHOOD. In honor of International Women’s Day, we have a special two-part series this week talking all about the parts of being a woman we rarely ever talk about… periods, sex, desire, and honoring our bodies.

Kat Harris of @therefinedwoman joins us to ask the hard questions about desire. As a 35-year-old virgin, she’s done the DEEP work questioning what sex means on her journey, especially related to her faith. Over the years, she’s researched what the Bible says about this topic and identified what her own truth is when it comes to sexual pleasure.

Kat’s book Sexless In The City is coming out next month where she sets out to empower a generation set free from sexual shame, giving you the framework and support to ask those hard questions for yourself.

In this episode, we talk about…

What the Bible says about sex and desire

How Kat awakened her sexual desire after years of being shut down and feeling sexually silenced by the church

Holding our virginity on a pedestal

Sexual integrity + protecting the male gaze

Creating a healthy sexual ethic + letting go of sexual shame

Let’s talk WOMANHOOD. In honor of International Women’s Day, we have a special two-part series this week talking all about the parts of being a woman we rarely ever talk about… periods, sex, desire, and honoring our bodies.

Gone are the days where women used to go away together to celebrate the coming of their period under the moon, dancing and connecting over this beautiful thing that only we as women get to experience. When did we make talking about our periods “awkward” or feel “icky” about bringing it up in conversations with not only men but with each other?

Katrina Swanson discovered her passion for hormone health after dealing with her own personal struggles with her period, being diagnosed with PCOS, and realizing the need for more education around our periods and menstrual cycles. She is now a voice for women’s wellness and hormonal health, empowering women to discover their feminine power by connecting to their cycles.

In this episode, we talk about…

The power that comes with optimizing your routine + health with your cycle

Breaking the toxic relationship + unhealthy habits we have around our body

Signs of hormone imbalance + how to return back to an optimal hormonal state

Talking to men about periods

Living in feminine energy in a masculine-centric society

The stress + trauma associated with fertility

Connecting to the deepest part of what makes us women

We had been planning on sitting down to record a podcast with one of our SheFactor members Julia of @geobreezetravel since last May but put it off until it was time to talk all about FINANCE (she IS the queen of travel hacking and credit card points, duh). Little did we know, the timing of it all would surface a much more alarming conversation…

Ever since the rise of COVID-19, there has been a MAJOR increase in hate-crimes against the Asian community. But as much as people want to believe that these crimes are “pandemic-related”, the reality is racism against Asians is much more deeply rooted. In the last several weeks, Asians all across America (especially elder Asians) have been brutally murdered and attacked. So why is no one talking about it?

Julia joins us today for an extremely vulnerable conversation addressing what exactly is happening in the Asian community right now, and how we can answer their cries for help (plus some fun travel hacking tips, of course).

In this episode, we talk about…

The hate-crimes and murders devastating the Asian community

The lack of coverage and solidarity for Asian-Americans

"Meme activism" vs. REAL activism

The history of racism against Asian-Americans + her own personal experience as a Filipino woman

How non-Asian's can bring attention + awareness to what's happening

Travel hacking, the best credit cards on the market + using these tools to do good in the world!

PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE TO BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE. This is NOT about download numbers, double taps, or monetization. It’s about advocating for those whose voices feel silenced, and being the voice for them in our own close circles and communities.

What’s it like to dive headfirst into something that you’ve been dreaming of doing? To suddenly quit your corporate job off a mere gut feeling to start your own company with no prior experience? Well, today’s guest knows a thing or two about going after what she wants, and she’s here to tell you just how taking a leap of faith really feels.

Martha Krejci’s life is the comeback story you didn’t know you needed to hear. From her lowest low of alcoholism and depression to riding the high of living a life she couldn’t have even made up in her wildest dreams, the grounding piece of truth she always came back to? Trusting herself through the process. As she worked a corporate call center support job, she realized she was missing out on all the important moments of her life. She didn’t want to be the sounding board for frustrated entrepreneurs on the other side of the phone, she wanted to BE the entrepreneur. She wanted to work less, and LIVE more!

In this week’s episode, we’ll talk about…

How she went from missing her daughter’s first steps to working 5-10 hours a week

The harsh reality of rock bottom + getting back to “good” by learning to surrender

Speaking confidence into your life through the power of language

Seeing yourself through the eyes of those who believe in you most

The bigger leap you make, the bigger the miracles will be

Living from your heart + the magic that flows when you’re in alignment
