Shine Strong: Recent Episodes
Leah LeRae
We are women who are reinventing ourselves. We're doing the work of multiple generations. We're the women moving our families, friends, companies and communities forward. We're tackling our stories and asking hard questions about what we believe. This isn't just another show on the top 5 ways to achieve your goals or tips solely from the super successful. No! Each conversation invites you Into the lives of badass, everyday people who are in tenacious pursuit of their best life.Whether you’ve been looking to unlock your power or craving the training for how to do it — these mothers, daughters, sisters — and the occasional dude — are the mentors you’ve been looking for.
"Quitters never win, and winners never quit!"
"JUST DO IT"
"You're not lovable until you're successful"
Any of those statements resonate with you?
Do you struggle to deliver less than exceptional in all areas of life? Do you let your own desires slip away while chasing everyone else's goals?
Don't get us wrong -- we're high achievers too. But there's also a major reminder we all need:
TO SLOW DOWN.
If you're constantly wondering why everyone else is so lazy, this episode is for you.
Join Amy & Leah discussing their perspectives on slowing down and how that's allowed them to thrive in all areas of life.

What we talked about:
How do you know when you want to pivot or just muscling through it?
We can learn so much from each other, and when we take the time to listen, you start to feel more part of the community.
“The second I raised 400k, I would have had to raise another round of it…That’s not why I did it…”
“I don’t want to do this anymore…”
“Had I not gone through that experience of being a founder, I never would have started my practice and not started them focused on starting growing businesses.”
“As women, we want to be the best…it is very hard to know ‘did you want to pull the plug because you were scared or because it was not aligned with who you want to be?’”
How did you know which way to go?
This was not compatible with the life I had envisioned for the next five years.
Listen to your gut. Don’t do something because you’re worried about what it’s going to look like to others.
Saying no is as much of a decision as saying yes.
All these different things about how much money you should be making…you think, okay I have to get to that point…
I felt like I was in this purgatory of life…my sense of worth was tied up in my achievement…forced me to look deeper and question my motives and how much my self worth depended on what other people thought of me.
I wasn’t miserable, it was interesting and fun, I would go workout…at the same time, I had days where I thought I was the worst mom, I’m bored out of my mind…
We can get so in our heads about the silliest things…our subconscious tells us this is important.
More people need to know that it’s okay to step back.
What if you listeners started a business and it just wasn’t what you thought it would be?
We talk about entrepreneurs as if they are gods…but it’s not for everybody and that’s great!
Maybe, you have a business now and it’s just not working…that doesn’t mean that you’re not an entrepreneur.
Giving ourselves permission to quit is important.
There may be listeners who have a business that makes money that they wanna quit, but they’re providing for their family..adds layer of complexity that I didn’t have to think about. If that’s you, I think you can find a way to work it out.”
“They were bringing me more anxiety than they were anything else “
“For any of you listeners, sometimes you have to let something go, before you can open yourself up for something better.”
If you are under a cloud of anxiety and you can point it to that person or job, you have to find a way to either change that…or make a change yourself…pull the plug.
It’s never okay to keep going with something when it’s just making you miserable.

- R.Riveter on Facebook
What we talked about:
What is R.Riveter bags and how are they WAY different than any other bag?
What is life like for a military spouse? What unique challenges do they face all.the.time? How does R.Riveter help support military spouses?
The mental struggle for military spouses is very real. Most people have no idea what it’s like. You’re marrying into a lifestyle — and you’re part of what makes that work.
“I was slowly losing my personal identity…I was a completely new person every time we moved”
How did R.Riveter get started?
“We had no idea what we were starting when we got going.”
“We spent half of our budget on insulation for the attic we worked out of in the early stage. Bought a sewing machine, and grinded.”
What did you tell yourself to get through those early stages?
“There was no other option. We didn’t give ourself or our thought process any other option.”
Put one foot in front of the other and make it work.
"When there isn’t another option — that’s sometimes the birthplace of AMAZING things. You’re not in the mindset of other options."
What advice do you have for women who are launching a business in alignment with who you are?
“You need to know where you’re going — but people get tripped up on all the steps to get there. You don’t need anything but Google in the beginning.”
Take stories from other successful people and apply it to what you’re going through and think through how you can make that advice work for what you need to do.
SHARK TANK. Tell me about your experience!
“Terrifying and top of the mountain excitement at the same time.”
How did you manage so much PR? “People want to tell a good story.”
“Coming from the military, we have a perspective that most people don’t have the opportunity to have. It’s a very humbling experience and you put things into perspective in a way that civilians don't.”
“I was consistently wishing my life away…and finally I just had to let that go and live in the moment. You only have one life to live.”
How can you take responsibility for your life even when your life is harder than you’d like it to be?
“Find your purpose.”
Raising good kids in a transitional lifestyle. How Lisa is a role model for her kids.
Re-identifying yourself in new environments. How do you consistently “be yourself”?
Why the name R.Riveter?
“We’re the no-fuss women. We’re grinding, trying to make a difference, and we want a bag that can handle our lifestyle.” She can take that handbag from the boardroom to

What Sean and I talked about:
You can change your reality by changing your thoughts.
Is it possible to make the mental shifts BEFORE you do the work to understand yourself? Sean says YES.
What to do when those limiting belief/ negative thoughts come up.
How to know when to pivot? When to use grit/push through and when to change plans?
<< Distinction between what feels right and going back to the comfort zone >>
Don’t make it about YOU.
Try your hardest not to make decisions in a valley.
How to help a friend through their own valley? Sean’s advice: Don’t help unless they specifically ask for it.
“Everyone is in a different place in their journey”
When you’re in a valley — that despair — when you learn a lot about yourselves.
Your survival rate for your bad days is 100%
“People just want to be listened to”.
Your brain has a tendency to follow your feelings.
Your brain will go through withdrawal when you are trying to make a change in your life.
Negative thoughts will always come. You have to consciously redirect your thoughts. CHILL.
You have to get to the root cause — understand the way you feel about yourself and the negative core beliefs you have.
How to be responsible for a life situation you don't have control of — and that you don't necessarily love.
“To me” consciousness. Victim consciousness. Choosing to respond in a negative way.
“For me/by me” consciousness. How is this working for me? EVERY negative thing that happens to you has good in it.
“Where you choose to focus your attention is what dictates how you feel about it”
LOOK FOR THE POSITIVES> Shift your attention. your attention changes and your realities change. We can all make that choice.
How many opportunities are you missing because you’re looking at your life through the lens of a victim?
Real love is loving and supporting someone no natter what they choose.
How to have longevity? Be consistent and deliver high quality.
Tip for creating a great YouTube video? Watch it with no audio. If you still enjoy it with the sound off, then it’s ready to launch.

Some of my favorite quotes:
“It can be so uncomfortable, and so painful — but it can also be so painful NOT to do it. In the end, it can hurt [not to launch your business]”
“Growing a business is hard and painful — but i’m so grateful I did it.”
“It’s a labor of love. I’ve never had LESS time. When you’re doing something that’s yours— its YOURS. If you’re not doing it, it’s not getting done.”
“Behind the scenes really sells”
Here's what we talked about:

The accidental “break the internet” thing...the Everything Bagel Doughnut.
Stayed true to who they were and continued to get press because their doughnuts were actually good— it wasn’t just hype.
The difference between entrepreneur and corporate world — there is no review where you get all kinds of positive feedback. There is no checklist. You become the dishwasher and the person in charge of every single thing there is to do. You have to figure out how to make it all happen. The stakes are really high.
Setting up liscensing in Saudi Arabia, Australia. Difference between franchising and liscensing.
Finding the right co-founder. — Met for 18 months to iron out the details, writing a business plan, raise funds, and decide how they’d operate.

IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE TELLING YOURSELF?
"If only I was a famous [athlete, actress, influencer, fill in the blank]...then all of this would be so much easier."
Well, today, we're here to blast through that BS.
Rachael Adams is an Olympic Medalist for the USA Women's Volleyball team.
She's on track to be at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, again.
But here's the deal:
Rachael had to blast through the same mental limitations that you do.
She had it so bad that she actually started a business about it.
Check out @journeystrength and you'll get a quick picture about what Rachael is all about.
Then, listen to her episode to hear her story and how she started her volleyball career SUPER late compared to other v-ball athletes...
And then outlasted 99% of them...
And now plays at the highest level
If you're telling yourself that "if only" BS-- I dare you to listen to Rachael's episode.
Double dare you.
Then report back and lmk what you're telling yourself after you listen.
If I had to guess, it'll be:
"SHOULDERS BACK, HEAD UP, YOU'VE GOT THIS!"

Have you ever been part of a negotiation where you felt:
Scared?
Afraid?
Unprepared?

We all know the feeling:
We bought that thing -- and we know we shouldn't have. But, the salesperson was just SO persuasive!!!
Or...was it manipulation?
Hmm...some times it can be hard to tell.
I feel really anxious and overwhelmed when I can tell that there are manipulative sales tactics being used on me, and I vehemently oppose them.
In fact, I oppose them so much that I want to teach you all those tricks so that you don't fall for them either! If I'm certain of one thing, it's that consumers rule the world. Whatever your buying patterns ask for, companies will follow.
I say, let's start a new buying pattern.
You in?

6:00 Have a voice at the table. Weigh in on things outside of your expertise. Ask questions. Grab the bull by the horns. Never hesitate to question EVERYTHING. Opportunities are everywhere, and If you aren’t asking the right questions those opportunities might not surface.
6:50 Cultivate deliberate discomfort. Challenges make us stronger. It’s okay to be wrong. Recognize your “flat skillset”. Solicit feedback from peers, mentors, and bosses. Listen to what they have to say and gain an appreciation for different perspectives. Gain a coalition for people around you and their perspective. You have to ask for feedback. Don’t assume that you know what your strengths are.
8:30 Public speaking. Hiring an executive speaking coach. Christine still speaks to that speaking coach — he still supports her and encourages her before each speaking event. Public speaking is a skillset that is essential to the corporate world.

Have you listened to EVERY single episode on Shine Strong?
Maybe just a couple?
I've obviously been front and center for each and every conversation on the show, and I've taken something away from every single episode. That said, I've learned more from some episodes than others.
This episode ended up being WAY LONGER than I anticipated!
I talk about it all:
Why I launched Shine Strong -- and how I learned how to podcast.
My favorite episodes, why I thought they were awesome, and what I took away from it.
What I have personally learned [and implemented] this year, since launching Shine Strong AND what you might be able to learn from those lessons.
From the absolute bottom of my heart: THANK YOU for being here!!!!!! Seriously! It's been over a year that I've been working on Shine Strong, and this is episode 45.
Season 1 is wrapping, but Season 2 episodes are already recorded and OMG THEY'RE AMAZING. I'm basically flipping out because I'm so excited.
I mentioned it a few times in the episode -- but I totally want you to email me with ideas for episodes, topics, and basically just to connect with you! Here is my email, and my Shine Strong IG:

We all have a friend or loved one who is [or has been] struggling to conceive.
Maybe you've struggled yourself to conceive, maybe not.
As someone who hasn't had a hard time conceiving -- I wanted to know how I could support my loved ones who are on the [in]fertility journey -- and I also wanted to avoid saying potentially hurtful things out of my own ignorance.
Nathalie is on the show to help us with ALL of that.
She'll explain the entire process of IVF. She talks in detail about her own journey -- and what ended up working for her. She shares really hurtful things people have said to her, things that we can all learn from and avoid saying to our loved ones. She also shares ways you can love and support your friends through this hard time in their life.
And, for those of you listening who have been on the [in]fertility path yourself, Nathalie is doing some pretty amazing things to bring this conversation to the forefront at both a corporate level and a human level. My advice is to connect with her on IG, follow her blog posts, join her Ellie group, and shoot her an email.

I've always felt that since I'm always on the go, meditation just ins't for me.
I tried it a few times [sorry Headspace!} -- but it never felt right.
Plus, I've got SO MUCH TO DO! Who can sit there for 20 minutes and not mentally scan your do-to list??
Well, Maya says that she knows a secret to meditation that even the busiest of busy people will love.
In fact, she's one of those types of people.
She's the former [burnt out] CTO of a start up and is currently running her own tech advising company where she has several active clients. She's also the co-founder of The Spring Meditation.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, overworked, and maybe even burnt out -- you're going to dig this episode. You're also going to totally relate to me and Maya's stories about taking on too much and experiencing burn out.

So, you started a business...but you're clueless in the legal department.
Quite honestly, I was too.
The questions I was asking in this episode were all questions I desperately wanted to know myself.
It's really hard to know exactly what legal stuff you should focus on because most lawyers charge by the hour, and in the early days -- we're pinching pennies. I get it.
That's why Wendy is here.
She shares all the things you should be thinking about, and why, without using "scare" tactics. Her heart is in helping female entrepreneurs [part of why I love her!] because she's a mom, too.
On top of all the [free] legal advice, she also talks about reentering the business [legal] world after the five year hiatus she took to have kids. You'll love her perspective on that, too.
Although Wendy is based in NYC, she can work with anyone, anywhere. And as she says in the episode, she'd love to chat with you [at no charge]. Here's how you can schedule that call:

Soshy Adelstein is the owner of Embody Nutrition. She's an incredible, genuine, caring, deep and raw human being....and you know I love people like that! I think you're going to fall in love with her too.
We talk all things FOOD today in the episode. She shares her journey through binge eating, emotional eating, and finally -- intuitive eating. I think her perspective on sugar and diets are a breath of fresh air. I'm curious to hear if you think the same thing! You'll have to drop me a DM on IG to let me know.
If you've been listening to the podcast for long, you know that I had a not-so-nice relationship with food, too. I, too, was a binge eater and even struggled with bulimia for a bit. I've had an emotional relationship with food for...well forever, and I used food as a coping mechanism. So...yeah. I needed this episode! As I mention in the into, food & I have made a lot of progress over the years and most days I feel like I came out victorious. But, then there are days when all my past habits seem like a much easier option and I forget all I've learned. I guess it's balance, right? I tell you this because I want you all to know that it's okay to not have it all figured out just perfectly. There are some listeners out there who (like my husband) can't relate to this episode even for a second because food has always just been fuel. But, those people have their own battles too -- because we've all got that something.
Go on and crush it this week ladies! I want you all to reach out to Soshy in one way or another. Follow her on FB and IG, or reach out and schedule a call with her. I suggest the latter, of course.

Cara Zelas is the founder of The Big World of Little Dude. She is teaching kindness to children all around the world. She is an author and educator originally from Sydney, Australia and now living in New York City with her family and therapy dog, Little Dude.
Meditation ideas for children
-
Ask your child to select a small plush toy. Lay down on your bed or yoga mat, and place the toy on top of their belly buttons. Ask them to watch the toy as it moves up and down with each breath. Can the toy go higher? Can you make the toy move up and down slower? Faster?
-
Back to back breathing is such a fun way to connect with your child. Sitting on the floor, sit with you back to each other, with your back resting on your child’s back. Begin taking intentional breaths. Encourage your child to notice: are the breaths shallow, deep, fast, slow? Your breath may even fall in sync with each other.
-
Working and creating together can be a wonderful way to bond with your child. Make some lavender cloud-dough! Perfect sensory activity, the combination of lavender and kneading the dough is a truly relaxing experience. You can find an easy recipe here!

Episode Summary:
Marissa is a copywriting expert who has a knack for helping her clients real personality shine through their writing. She hasn’t always been a copywriter though — her “first act” was as a theatre acter in NYC. She earned her MFA (the highest performance degree you can get) — and after graduating went back to the grind in NYC. It didn’t take long for her to realize her calling was elsewhere after more and more people started coming to her, asking for help writing. She’s a rockstar when it comes to writing copy that converts.
