You don't. But you do need to take what's unique about YOU and your story and share it in a way that's compelling.

So, how can you get over your stage fright and learn powerfully deliver your story?

"Ultimately, embodiment is the ability of your higher consciousness self to actualize through the physical into the physical reality, '— Alara Sage

Over the last 50 years, the idea of enjoyment and pleasure got married to feeling guilty. Plus, many of us are carrying unreleased trauma, which leaves us walking around with our nervous systems stuck on causing us to be unable to relax and enjoy pleasure and find true fulfillment in life, love, and sex.

So, how can we learn to trust ourselves enough to embrace embodiment, and open our creative minds to live more pleasurable and fulfilled lives?

Alara Sage is a teacher, mentor, and healer. With over 15 years of training and experience, she specializes in helping courageous individuals unlock their potential to live authentic, creative, pleasurable, and fulfilled lives. Using her methodology, she helps people to bridge the gap between a conceptual understanding of mind/body/spirit and the true embodiment of higher levels of consciousness.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Alara joins Anjel to share the connection between unreleased trauma and how that causes our nervous system to shut down, creating disembodiment and an inability to experience the physical fully.

Tune in as Alara walks us through how to embrace embodiment and use our feminine energy for more enjoyment in our sex lives and more creative energy in every moment.

"As women, we give, give, give. We don't say 'no, what I'm offering is very valuable," — Faith Jones

As women, we've been conditioned to be generous, self-sacrificing, and charged as the ones who hold together the social fabric.

But often, our willingness to sacrifice is taken too far, and our value is undermined in ways we never saw coming.

So, how can we take back our power and our value?

Faith Jones is an attorney, business strategist, TEDx speaker, author, and thought leader. A passionate advocate, she coaches women to claim full ownership over their bodies, creations, and deals to step into their power through her unique "I Own Me" framework.

"We are normalizing that women can be at a million a year. But what got you here at 6 figures will never get you to 7 figures. At each new plateau of your business, there is a new mindset to adopt."—Fabienne Fredrickson

Do you work evenings and weekends, but you're still not scaling the way you dreamed?

Do you feel you can't make it to the next level in your business without sacrificing more time with your family?

As women, we equate having a 6 or 7-figure business with more in-the-trenches hands-on work.

But it doesn't have to be that way!

For 20+ years, Fabienne Fredrickson has mentored thousands of women business owners to scale their businesses to 6 and 7 figures a year while living lives they love. Her Leveraged Business methodology is based on her nearly 15 years of experience in generating multiple 7 figures annually with three children at home. Fabienne's revolutionary book, The Leveraged Business: How You Can Go From Overwhelmed at 6-Figures to 7 Figures (and Get Your Life Back), is the new definitive roadmap on how she's done it and how you can, too, without sacrificing your life.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Fabienne joins Anjel to share her journey from being unemployable to stepping into her calling to help other women use their unique brilliance to achieve 6 and 7 figures per year.

Tune in to hear the inspiring story of how a song kept her from giving up when she was ready to throw in the towel on chasing her dreams and return to the corporate world.

Listen in as Fabienne walks us through exactly what you need to focus on at each level to break through your income plateaus.

Fabienne shares her rebel story of going from unemployable to surrendering to the calling in her heart

Why marketing and sales should be your singular focus to reach 10k a month

Why it's more difficult to scale from 6 figures than any other level

The internal shift you need to make to move from solopreneurship to authentic leadership

Why most people use their time wrong and end up working themselves into burnout

The one key change in mindset that will take you from white knuckling the day-to-day of a small business to leading a 7-figure company

Do you know what arrangements your spouse or parents would like to have enacted upon their passing?

What type of burial would you like after you die—are you familiar with all your options? Do you have that plan in writing?

Whether you are well or are facing a terminal illness, end-of-life planning helps make your wishes clear to those who love you.

But we often put off making those plans because it seems morbid, or we are too busy.

How pre-planning for death helps make the emotional part easier

It wasn't until the late 60s that women could have their own checking accounts, so there has been progress toward gender equality.

We've come a long way, baby!

"Many people are looking for hands-on jobs instead of desk jobs, and the skilled trades are really hands-on."—Ariana Dugan
