My friends, this week I am wrapping up season 5 of the Girls 4 Greatness podcast, as well as sharing where my intuition has been leading me to go with the podcast moving forward.
I invite you all to listen in as I discuss what I have been learning about myself over these last few months. I also talk about the power and need for pause in my own life and how I intend to create pause in the up and coming months.

I am thrilled to be sitting down to chat with another beautiful human being this week who is truly about empowering women to live their best life. This week I am talking with Kamini Wood, the creator of AuthenticMe and the CEO of Live Joy Your Way. Kamini’s coaching company helps teens and high achieving, ambitious individuals shake free of their fears, unhelpful mindsets, and behaviors in order to have healthy relationships and move forward on the professional path they choose.
Kamini and I discuss how she went from a people pleasing perfectionist holding herself back by playing small into someone who recognizes her worth and sees that by embracing it she can create room for others to do the same.
Kamini is also a mom of 5, one who is a professional ballerina and another who is a division 1 athlete. We discuss how her role as a mother was a real catalyst in her career change and how she has used her knowledge as a coach to also empower her own children.
This episode is filled with wisdom and takeaways centered on how we can all become more self-aware in order to get back to the heart of who we really and truly are.

My friends I am so thrilled to be welcoming back to the Girls 4 Greatness podcast two time former guest, Rachel Weinstock. Rachel first appeared in episode #27, Embracing The Power Of Play. She also was a guest in episode #120, Empowering The Mental Health Of Our Children, a Real Life. Real Talk. Episode.
Today I have the honor of having a conversation with Rachel all about her newly released book, Be Who You Needed. Rachel’s book is designed to be a guide for caring adults who want to help young people transform their emotional well-being, their self-confidence and their happiness. Rachel and I not only discuss what led her to write her book, but we also discuss who she wrote this book for as well as what she has learned about herself through the process of writing it.
Rachel is a Teacher, Transformational Coach, and Speaker for youth who are struggling with being bullied, their self-esteem, and their anxiety. Rachel holds a degree in Visual Arts and Education, and she was awarded the James W. Fair Leadership Award from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.
Rachel’s passion and mission to create a world where every child feels happy, confident, and safe shines through in our conversation. Rachel’s approach to working with young people is deeply impactful because of her lived experience of being bullied as a child and a teenager.
Whether you are in direct contact with youth or not, I believe so much of what Rachel shares can be applied to our lives as a whole. Rachel sets the stage for all of us to consider how we can show up differently in the world, embracing more kindness and compassion towards anyone and everyone we encounter.

In this episode of the Girls 4 Greatness podcast I have the privilege of chatting with Alison Hall, founder of Change Agent Coaching For Women. Alison and I are discussing not only her journey to be the influencer she is today but also the importance of understanding just how powerful true self-assessment is.
After 25 years of building a traditionally successful corporate career, Alison reinvented herself to become her own happy boss, launching several successful businesses. For more than 10 years now Alison has also been using her financial expertise and in-depth understanding of human behavior to help women make smart, informed financial decisions around divorce and other life changing events, including starting their own businesses.
Alison’s mantra is, “Knowledge is power,” and with that in mind she educates women about personal finance and business creation and development so that they’re empowered to navigate life and career transitions confidently, lean into their strengths, find their purpose, dump the ‘shoulds’ and self-doubt, and reinvent themselves to create the lives they want and deserve. Alison empowers her clients to seize opportunities and think beyond the expected to get what they really want. Alison taps into her own experience as a burned-out corporate grinder turned successful business owner to inspire women to embrace life-affirming change.
I have no doubt that Alison’s wisdom will inspire us all to look at how powerful self-assessment can be in finding true meaning and purpose in our own lives.

Female rivalry is something I think all of us as women have had to deal with in some way shape or form. I think we all have likely had a moment or two where our intuition was telling us that something may be off with someone. I also think that we have all had to deal with our own inner “she bully” as this week’s guest puts it. We have let the “she bully” win us over to comparison rather than focusing on what we know to be true.
I invite you to listen in to this week’s episode with the amazing Amber Tichenor, someone who actually specializes in the area of female rivalry. Amber is a female rivalry coach for other high performing business women, empowering them to embrace change and competition.

This week on the Girls 4 Greatness podcast I am chatting with the former Mrs. Utah, Cherie Burton, who is a true pioneer when it comes to spiritual psychology. Her evolutionary STAND SPEAK SHINE method transforms women into authentically embodied and empowered feminine leaders.

I invite you to listen in as Shannon and I dive into the reasoning behind why Shannon and her husband, Bryan, started BELAY, as well as what it has taken for Shannon herself to discover what “having it all” meant for her.
Shannon and Bryan started BELAY 10 years ago after cashing in all of their 401(k)s for start-up capital. Over the years their company has exploded to over one thousand team members, all working from home, pursuing their own idea of “having it all” while serving BELAY’s 1,400 clients.
Shannon is also the author of a book called The Third Option: Why a Woman Doesn’t Have to Choose Between a Career and Family, but Can Actually Have Both and Succeed. In her book, Shannon shares how she took a leap of faith to create a flexible career that gives meaning to both her work and her family.
If you are someone who has ever struggled to deal with the feelings of conflict that sometimes arise from trying to juggle family and career life, then this episode is for you. Shannon shares some beautiful insights as to just how important it is to tune in to those feelings of conflict. She shares how so often what we risk in order to live the life we really and truly want to live far outweighs the pain of regret of not having lived that life.
Please be sure to connect with and follow Shannon and BELAY on Instagram under @belay_solutions and on LinkedIn under @BELAY. You can follow BELAY on Facebook as well under @BELAYSolutions.

In honor of wrapping up the first season of the Girls 4 Greatness podcast, I invite you all to listen in as I share some of my favorite takeaways from the first 25 episodes. Honestly, there is not an episode I have recorded in which I did not learn something new or take away something powerful. It was seriously so hard to just narrow in on a few of my favorites, but here they are:
Episode 1- The Power of Resiliency and Inner Strength With Brittany Cooley
Episode 6 - Becoming Your Own Greatest Hero With Delane Cooper
Episode 7- Embracing Change With Tara Massan
Episode 15 - The Power Of Surrender With Shannon Jamail
Episode 24- How To Practice Filling Your Own Cup With Penelope Magoulianiti
Please be sure to check out these episodes to hear more from the amazing guests I have highlighted. All of these episodes can be found on the Girls 4 Greatness website under the podcast tab. Also, please be sure to tune in next week to hear part 2 of this highlight series!
