Natalie Levy's lust for life is deep-rooted. After losing her mom to breast cancer at 11, she fell into a deep depression, leaving her feeling unworthy of anything that felt good - love, happiness, self-esteem. That depression lasted 11 years. And somewhere between an eating disorder and overindulgence, it dawned on her that to create the life she dreamed of and to make a real and lasting impact on the world, she would have to learn to love and heal herself first. And so where is she now?

...spending her quarantine in Tulum, Mexico, where's she able to live her dream of empowering women to attract abundance in all areas of their lives and believe that everything is possible. But the beauty isn't in where she's ended up, but in the journey that led her to this moment. She always knew she was destined for something more than the life she was living, and never gave up searching for that desire to change people's lives. Join us as we dive into all the cringe-worthy and inspiring moments of her journey, and learn more about her upcoming workshop during our SheCares Wellness Summit Everything is Possible: Attracting Abundance in All Areas of Your Life!

In her workshop, Natalie breaks down the "buzzwords" of personal development into real and tangible steps to attracting abundance into your life as you lay a foundation that you can carry with you far into the future. If there’s an area of your life where you are dreaming of more peace and success, this is the workshop (& podcast!) for you.

Self-care is SO important, but most often, we think about it as a reaction to circumstances in our life or a means to de-stress and relax. But what if you thought of self-care as much more than that? Today's guest Jaclyn DiGregorio's perspective of self-care is a game-changer. In this week's episode, Jaclyn walks us through her journey of failure and how that led her to use self-care as a way to amplify her success. 

Like a lot of us in our twenties, Jaclyn sought after a 9-5 job that led her to question what she really wanted out of life. She was constantly wondering, "Is this it? Is this the best it's ever going to get?" With no experience, no savings, and tons of failure under her belt, she took a leap of faith and started her business.

Now she's living out her dream life at 25 years old! And here's the cool part - she's no different from you. She believes that we all have the potential inside of us to create lives we absolutely love (is that on-brand for SheFactor, or what?). Unfortunately, our brains like to come up with lies about why this might be possible for someone else, but not for us. The good news is, that those things are simply not true. You deserve to live a beautiful, joy-filled, abundant, fulfilling life, where you say yes to the things that light you up inside, no matter how scary they may be.

In this episode, we talk about:

☀️ Why mindset is the key to success

Get your ticket to the SheCares Wellness Summit to tune into Jaclyn's workshop How to Use Self-Care to Amplify Your Success: Using Your Vibration & Manifestation Principles to Achieve Your Biggest Goals. In this workshop, you'll learn about how self-care is an indispensable tool for success. Specifically, we will dive into how the universal laws and principles of manifestation can be applied to the topic of self-care, and more importantly how this can help you achieve your biggest goals.

What's the difference between happiness and joy? And how about joy and fear? It seems like an obvious answer, right? But what if joy and fear were much more similar to each other than joy and happiness? 

Today's guest is full of amazing insight -- insight that she's sharing with us today, but also as one of our keynote speakers at the SheCares Wellness Summit! You may know her as Rachel Hollis' BFF or author of the book Worth It, but today you get a deeper look into who Brit Barron really is and how her journey has shaped her into who she is today. 

Brit spent the first part of her life in the evangelical church and eventually became a pastor at a megachurch at the ripe age of 26. After peaking too soon, she started to understand more about herself, her dreams, and her sexuality. She met a woman named Sami that changed, saved, and transformed her whole life. Meeting Sami, leaving the church, coming out, and getting married has given Brit a deep-seated passion for reminding people that choosing freedom is always worth it no matter the cost. And an equal passion for finding joy every single day, making time to have as much fun as possible on this journey called life. 

During her SheCares workshop, she'll talk about how to make decisions for YOU. How do we overcome the idea that being selfish is bad and embrace the reality that when we are able to make decisions for ourselves, be true to who we are - we create an environment for those around us to do the same? Get your ticket to find out!

Peloton Instructor Kendall Toole, aka FITx, lives by two mantras. The first is Feminine, Intelligent, Tough - which makes up her nickname of FITx. The second: “They can knock you down, but they can NEVER knock you out.”

In this episode, we throw it back to our SheGrad Party where Kendall talks about how boxing brought her out of her darkest moments. After years and years of struggling with perfectionism, mental health, anxiety, and depression, she found joy and confidence in fitness. With every punch she threw, she gained the energy to fight, igniting a spark within her. And now she helps others bring that undeniable power and pride into all they do. Regardless of any pressures telling you to minimize who you are and what you’re meant to give, you have to keep fighting.

“I am not perfect. I am so far from it and my depression and anxiety are something I deal with daily (some days better than others), but the truly beautiful realization is that its these flaws, vulnerabilities, and insecurities that make us unmistakably human. To be human I think the highest praise you can receive; it’s not about the subjective standard, but about living as wholly and truly to YOUR full capabilities in mind, body, and spirit.” Check out the video here!

For the month of October, we’re talking about FAVOR. Favor is what fills your soul. By giving back to others in your time, talent, and treasure, you’re in turn filling your own soul. And this month, we're giving back to YOU with a super exciting event happening at the end of October. Tune in to learn more...

During this month, we covered so many important topics surrounding Freedom. But what they all came back to USING YOUR VOICE to be the change you want to see in the world. And one of the best examples of that is VOTING.

Voting is an opportunity to make meaningful change - an opportunity that we’re so lucky to have here in America. So how are you going to use that opportunity to make an impact?

Making an impact can come in so many forms… Whether it be voting, lobbying, running for office, volunteering, or just standing up for what you believe in. But what alllll those things have in common is key: Policy.

The Policy Circle is a nonprofit organization that helps you take ownership of what you want to change so that you can make a real impact. And during our freedom event SheVotes, we hosted a Policy Circle of our own… So follow along with us as we dive into the topic of VOTING.

The election is only 34 DAYS AWAY… so how are you going to use those days?

As women, we don't always have the freedom to walk freely on the street without the fear of something bad happening to us. What happens when you’re faced with danger? Or even when you get that feeling in your gut that something isn’t right? Are you overcome with a paralyzing fear? Uncertainty? Doubt in yourself and your ability to fight back? What if you replaced that fear with courage and confidence?

This week's guest Rachel Mahloch (aka BattleMom) empowers women to replace that fear with courage and confidence through self-defense, breathing & visualization. But she does her work from a place of compassion through her own personal experience. She may be small (coming in at only five feet tall), but this girl is MIGHTY. Her black-belt level of mastery in martial arts may help, but what's changed her life, and the lives of the women she's taught and mentored on this journey to strong, is the theory that it only takes a small amount of technical training for women to grow both their mental and physical strength. And her diverse background... like REALLY diverse (careers spanning opera, finance & martial arts)... has allowed her to create a comprehensive self-defense training style that is uniquely her own. 

Our safety is a freedom and a choice that can be taken from our control in an instant, but it shouldn't be. You have the right to wear whatever you want, walk freely on the street by yourself, take a subway without feeling unsafe. That's YOUR freedom. So it's time to take it back and defend it! Are you ready, ladies?

Stay tuned for an exclusive self-defense workshop with Rachel as part of our upcoming event, the SheCares Wellness Summit! More info coming next week...

ICYMI, it's September… and that means that the election is right around the corner, girlfriend. So this month we're diving right into it with this month's theme: FREEDOM. At SheFactor, Freedom is all about finding your voice, forming an educated opinion, and staying engaged with your community and fellow citizens! It's about being the change you want to see in the world, and being involved in the political process as a voter, representative, and voice in our democracy. 🇺🇸

Curious about why Freedom is one of our nine spheres? Or just wondering how to get really excited about politics? We know it's not the flashiest topic, but it's one of the most important. In today’s episode, you’re going to hear directly from our own founding ladies, Heidi & Tori Ganahl – taking you back to history class (but WAY more fun and WAY more exciting).

No matter what your political beliefs are, or if you have yet to form any, stick with us - this month we'll give you the resources to reflect on your own values and beliefs and learn about how you can be a more active member of society. And you can count on us to be COMPLETELY unbiased, neutral, and only give you the cold, hard facts (no fake news here, ladies 😉).

When life gets tough, do you stand there paralyzed with fear? Or do you take that challenge and make it an opportunity to learn and grow? In today's episode, host Tori Ganahl gets vulnerable about some challenges life has thrown her way lately and how she's used the SheFactor methodology to embrace this new season of her life. This episode is all about those times when your life gets flipped upside down in the blink of an eye, and about being confident enough in yourself and your journey to not let it pull you off track from your goals and dreams. 

Today’s episode was supposed to be all about the one year anniversary of The SheFactor Podcast - August 30th! But instead, Tori is getting real about how the SheFactor Method has allowed her to handle the unexpected with so much more ease and confidence than she ever thought possible. So she's going to bring it back to the basics and walk you through the six-part method that we’ve created, and how each part of this method can help you face whatever life has to throw at you. Buckle up, settle in, and get ready to transform your mindset, girl.
