Speaker 5: up in Canada. I am an ADHD Trauma counselor who
Speaker 5: helps and supports people with ADHD who have trauma, as
Speaker 5: well as build real life tools to help and support
Speaker 5: them to navigate the challenges that ADHD can bring.
Speaker 4: Fantastic, Thank you so much.
Speaker 6: And Jennifer, Hi, Imagine waking up each day feeling deeply
Speaker 6: connected to your purpose, energized, aligned with your true self.
Speaker 6: That's the transformation I guided women through at New Gen Community.
Speaker 6: I'm Jennifer Canuma. I'm based in Vancouver, BC and help
Speaker 6: women worldwide breakthrough from burnout, reconnect with their creativity, and
Speaker 6: take bold steps towards making a life of clarity and fulfillment.
Speaker 4: Wow, look at that, We're going to have a great
Speaker 4: time today. Kathy Hols, Yes.
Speaker 7: I'm Kathy Holt and I'm in the New York, Connecticut
Speaker 7: area and I work in women's leadership development. And I
Speaker 7: truly believe that the first step in leading in your
Speaker 7: own life or your mental wellness is getting to know yourself.
Speaker 7: You're with yourself twenty four to seven, and so why
Speaker 7: not have a great relationship?
Speaker 4: Perfect and miss Carol Koppleman.
Speaker 8: I am Carol Appelman. I'm in Goodyear, Arizona, and I'm
Speaker 8: CPK Solutions LLCI. I'm an editor and author and speaker.
Speaker 3: Fantastic And Bianca Bianca for those of you that were
Speaker 3: in Ireland and we just landed from today, Bianca was
Speaker 3: a was the closing speaker to the Ireland to sixty
Speaker 3: two book launch and just nailed it.
Speaker 4: It was amazing. So welcome to this stage as well, Bianca.
Speaker 4: What do you do on personal development?
Speaker 7: Yay?
Speaker 9: So my name is Bianca LaRue and I'm locating the
Speaker 9: Dallas Fort Worth area here in Texas and i am
Speaker 9: the owner of Nora Mental Health in Fort Worth. So
Speaker 9: we are a clinic here who offer mental health support
Speaker 9: for the community. We take most insurance companies to make
Speaker 9: sure that it's not a barrier for people not to
Speaker 9: get the help that they need and deserve.
Speaker 4: Fantastic.
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm looking forward to this episode absolutely so Tiffany
Speaker 3: back to you, what was it about this? What is
Speaker 3: it about what.
Speaker 4: You do that drew you to that? Or it came
Speaker 4: to like, how did that come about?
Speaker 5: It started with having a child who has ADHD and
Speaker 5: the challenges that I was facing to find support for
Speaker 5: her as well as I have a partner who also
Speaker 5: has ADHD and seeing the struggles that he faces in
Speaker 5: just basic life skills. And so through that, I actually
Speaker 5: ended up quitting my job. I had a job and
Speaker 5: went back to become a psychologist due to the challenges
Speaker 5: that I saw them face every day and not being
Speaker 5: able to be fully understood when they went and they
Speaker 5: saw clinicians. So they would go and see clinicians, but
Speaker 5: there was nobody who was really helping them, who fully
Speaker 5: understood what their struggles were day to day. And so
Speaker 5: I feel that having that lived experience of basically my
Speaker 5: family being my teacher to help and support me in
Speaker 5: learning about ADHD as well as the trauma that comes
Speaker 5: with ADHD has made me become a better clinician in
Speaker 5: my field. And so that's how I came to be
Speaker 5: an ADHD trauma support counselor.
Speaker 3: It's not an unusual story, Hey, that we hear that
Speaker 3: people decide to step into a particular type of work
Speaker 3: or write a certain book, or become a speaker and
Speaker 3: a certain subject when it's really touched them.
Speaker 4: I think that in this world of.
Speaker 3: Personal development particularly that is not unusual. There's like a
Speaker 3: deep sense or a deep need to help others because
Speaker 3: of the experience and many times challenges kind of it's
Speaker 3: been where it's been resourceless and you're like there's a
Speaker 3: hole here, or I'm seeing this, or my clients keep
Speaker 3: coming up with this same question and they're not getting
Speaker 3: their needs met out there. So thank you so much
Speaker 3: for that. And Jennifer, what about yourself? How did this
Speaker 3: come to your world?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been sitting inside me for twelve years my
Speaker 6: GAN community, and I'd actually paid for the.
Speaker 7: U the URL all that time.
Speaker 6: But it wasn't until last year that I hit rock
Speaker 6: bottom in my corporate career, was pushed to stop that
Speaker 6: my medical team asked me to stop, and that just
Speaker 6: allowed me to pull the bandit off and just launched
Speaker 6: into this business. So it launched in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6: I had been ignoring signs for years around you know,
Speaker 6: burnout and how my life wasn't in alignment, and so
Speaker 6: it took kind of a village of people to help
Speaker 6: me rebuild myself, do my own self healing, exploring reiki, breathwork, meditation,
Speaker 6: and ways I hadn't before. And I also could no
Speaker 6: longer ignore the gifts that I had for healing and
Speaker 6: intuition and skills that allowed me to step into.
Speaker 7: My own inner power.
Speaker 6: And these are practices that allowed me to feel really
Speaker 6: aligned at my true self. And I'm to guiding others
Speaker 6: on their own journeys of healing and self discovery, helping
Speaker 6: them break free from a burnout, find their inner clarity,
Speaker 6: and create the lives that they're meant.
Speaker 9: To lead.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 3: Well, congratulations, And have we not heard that before?
Speaker 4: Like, how many times have we heard something? Particularly people?
Speaker 4: You know, change is a big deal. Change can be
Speaker 4: really hard.
Speaker 3: Change can be scary, not only just emotionally, or you
Speaker 3: may not know where to go or how to have
Speaker 3: someone help can navigate that. But there's many people that
Speaker 3: like my paycheck, my medical benefits, my kids need me,
Speaker 3: or you know, I'm supporting a family member or car payments.
Speaker 4: I mean, it really is not as easy as just oh,
Speaker 4: you know, I had a got feeling. I mean, the
Speaker 4: nag gets big, we hear about it, the noise gets louder.
Speaker 3: And then sometimes there's a situation that happens that kind
Speaker 3: of you know, for lack of a better articulation, is
Speaker 3: unpleasant in sucks. And then a year or two years
Speaker 3: you're like, well, that was necessary, right, that was necessary.
Speaker 3: So thank you for being transparent and sharing, because that's
Speaker 3: a that can be you know, challenging. Right, it's one
Speaker 3: of the reasons why we don't But congratulations and Kathy,
Speaker 3: what brought you to this work?
Speaker 7: Well, I truly believe that all women have what it
Speaker 7: takes to be leaders. But I grew up in an
Speaker 7: era back in the seventies where women were not often
Speaker 7: given opportunities to lead. You know, coming out of Upper
Speaker 7: Well High School and going into college, it was you
Speaker 7: can be a you know, a nurse or a secretary
Speaker 7: back then they called them secretaries or or a teacher,
Speaker 7: and those are great professions. But I wanted to know more.
Speaker 7: I wanted to be offered things that some of my
Speaker 7: may colleagues were being offered, you know, other students that
Speaker 7: I wanted broader horizons. So even way back then, I
Speaker 7: really kind of got on my on my journey of
Speaker 7: empowering women, that we should be offered the same you know,
Speaker 7: access to opportunities and how we want to choose what
Speaker 7: we want to do is is our choice, but we
Speaker 7: shouldn't be limited because of the opportunities were offered. So
Speaker 7: that's how I really got started on my whole empowerment journey.
Speaker 4: Wow, isn't it? Isn't it incredible? The variety, like the
Speaker 4: variety and the stories. Carol, what about yourself?
Speaker 3: Well, I came.
Speaker 8: I came from the same generation that Kathy did, and yes,
Speaker 8: that was a similar experience. And at I worked as
Speaker 8: I was actually an administrative assistant for many, many years,
Speaker 8: and then I went back to school at thirty five
Speaker 8: thirty three and got my bachelors, went on to be
Speaker 8: a corporate right or I was already writing anyway within
Speaker 8: my administrative business. And yes, my last job was primarily
Speaker 8: men and I was making the same living that they were.
Speaker 8: But during that time I learned about burnout, proper burnout,
Speaker 8: and I went through a divorce with an alcoholic so
Speaker 8: I kind of overcame that, and I think when I
Speaker 8: wrote my book and an opportunity came in my fort sixties.
Speaker 8: I talked, really the book is about personal development, and
Speaker 8: I wanted to encourage women that you can do it
Speaker 8: and you can move forward and move up and on
Speaker 8: from struggles in your life.
Speaker 4: So wow, fantastic, Thank you so much for sharing.
Speaker 9: Bianca Yay, So I always like to share. I was
Speaker 9: born and raised in South Africa for eighteen years, and
Speaker 9: it's mental health is a big taboo subject. So I
Speaker 9: was one of those teenagers that really there was not
Speaker 9: a lot of resources out there for me, and I
Speaker 9: needed help badly. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any
Speaker 9: and so when I came to America, I was kind
Speaker 9: of shocked that people talked about mental health so openly.
Speaker 9: But the system is so flawed in this country that
Speaker 9: I have been waitlisted for months and years and I
Speaker 9: still couldn't get the help that I need. So that's
Speaker 9: how I found Nora. I truly wanted to have a
Speaker 9: community where people don't have to pay out of pocket
Speaker 9: to get the help that they deserve. That there's insurances
Speaker 9: that can help that can help them get the help
Speaker 9: that they deserve. That we have great therapists, we have emdr,
Speaker 9: we work with trauma, work with addiction. You know, we
Speaker 9: were so many different diagnoses that we can help as
Speaker 9: many people as we can. And that is kind of
Speaker 9: how I got into this field, is to not wanting
Speaker 9: anybody else to feel the way that I felt and
Speaker 9: neglected in the system.
Speaker 3: Wow, we get thank you so much, Banka. We get
Speaker 3: inspired or I believe we get inspired.
Speaker 4: By many different things.
Speaker 3: Times we go to hear a speaker, it changes everything.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's a book that really changes our life. We
Speaker 3: read a book that speaks to us, like it's written
Speaker 3: for us. I love when they kind of flow up
Speaker 3: flying that you know, or they end up.
Speaker 4: In the mailbox.
Speaker 3: You're like, okay, get your message. Sometimes it's a music,
Speaker 3: sometimes it's a concert. Has there been a book or
Speaker 3: a person or something that you've delved into that's made
Speaker 3: an impact on.
Speaker 4: Your own personal development, Tidney, I'll start back with you.
Speaker 5: There is actually and I have read this over and
Speaker 5: over and over again at different points in my life.
Speaker 5: The Places that Scare You by Pema Chadron. It's about
Speaker 5: navigating difficulty, emotions, embracing the scary places of our lives
Speaker 5: rather than avoiding them, and so it actually has helped
Speaker 5: me grow as a person. It's helped me so with
Speaker 5: the relationships that I have in my family and with friends,
Speaker 5: and it's taught me to look at different situations that
Speaker 5: are coming up within my own body and my own
Speaker 5: system from a different perspective rather than you know, oh,
Speaker 5: I'll just push that down because that's not needed in
Speaker 5: this situation. And so, yeah, so that was the book
Speaker 5: that really made a huge impact on me.
Speaker 4: Thank you for sharing. What about Yourself, Jennifer.
Speaker 6: Yeah, one book that profoundly impacted me in my healing
Speaker 6: journey is called Welcome Home, A Guide to Building a
Speaker 6: Home for Your Soul by Najua Ebien, And this book
Speaker 6: uses the metaphor of a house to guide readers into
Speaker 6: building a sanctuary within themselves. And she introduced concepts of,
Speaker 6: you know, constructing rooms of our inner home such as
Speaker 6: self love for gisboness, compassion, clarity, surrender, and the dream
Speaker 6: garden to foster self worth and belonging and happiness. And
Speaker 6: I just love the approach that she has and it
Speaker 6: deeply resonated with me, and it emphasizes the importance of
Speaker 6: creating a stable foundation inside ourselves rather than seeking external validation.
Speaker 6: And it just has a beautiful combination of storytelling and
Speaker 6: poetry and practical tools and was yeah, very instrumental in
Speaker 6: my own healing and self discovery. I love it.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. And Kathy, what about yourself?
Speaker 3: Now? I know that you're an author and you have
Speaker 3: a brilliant book, so please feel frettish tell us at
Speaker 3: the topic what the name of your book is.
Speaker 4: But has there been any other influence for you?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 7: And I'm really dating myself with this book. And it
Speaker 7: was almost kind of childish, but it's called Jonathan living
Speaker 7: Seagull Smith. I can't even get it at Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Speaker 7: And it's a book. I read it towards the end
Speaker 7: of high school when I was going through some frustrations
Speaker 7: about what was being what I was being told about,
Speaker 7: what I could do, I couldn't do, where I could go,
Speaker 7: what I couldn't what I wasn't supposed to be doing.
Speaker 7: And it's literally about a seagull who decides that he's
Speaker 7: going to fly higher than anybody else and the struggles
Speaker 7: he goes through, but the fact that he does it,
Speaker 7: even though there's fear, there's uncertainty, there's all these feelings
Speaker 7: that he has as a seagull that I was feeling,
Speaker 7: so that really motivated me. It's like it was just
Speaker 7: one of those energy things that it gave me to
Speaker 7: keep going because I had kind of hit some walls
Speaker 7: and some barriers. And then my book is called Unstoppable
Speaker 7: Women Owning our Voices and Leading Change, And part of
Speaker 7: what I try and accomplish in the book is encouraging
Speaker 7: all women to step into leadership, to step into their power,
Speaker 7: to recognize they have what it takes to be leaders
Speaker 7: because I think so often we've been told no, and
Speaker 7: I wanted to tell them yes, absolutely, go for it.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: It's interesting when you say you're dating yourself some of
Speaker 3: the I think the beautiful thing. And if you haven't
Speaker 3: written a book, I encourage you to at least do
Speaker 3: a chapter or a page or a quote or something,
Speaker 3: because it is truly and I bet we can all
Speaker 3: say that that there has been a page or a
Speaker 3: quote or a meme or particularly a book like you said,
Speaker 3: I remember hearing about that book. Not to say that
Speaker 3: we're so far apart, but mine was Shakty Guywan Living
Speaker 3: in the Light, and I think it's been written in
Speaker 3: forty languages since then. Just say, you know, it's not
Speaker 3: a new book, but I think a good book that
Speaker 3: has great value. When we talk about leaving legacy and books,
Speaker 3: I mean, how many people have read, you know, so
Speaker 3: many of the same books and it's impactful and it's
Speaker 3: made impactful. I think that's one of the beautiful things
Speaker 3: as we were experiencing this big implosion of anthologies and
Speaker 3: books and people stepping up and writing their own words
Speaker 3: on paper, whatever it is, a page, a paragraph, book,
Speaker 3: what have you, is that it really does leave impact.
Speaker 3: And sometimes we think, oh, all these books have made
Speaker 3: impact and we've read them over and over again or
Speaker 3: we've passed them around, and we don't realize that could
Speaker 3: be us.
Speaker 4: Right, there's a disconnect to like, ooh, my words could
Speaker 4: live legacy, you know, and you'll have to. But a
Speaker 4: good book is a good book. Carol, talking about.
Speaker 8: Books, I would say, eat Pray, Love, Eat Pray Love
Speaker 8: the entire book. I read it at the time that
Speaker 8: I was going through I think, my divorce actually, and
Speaker 8: it reignited that passion just to embrace life. So I
Speaker 8: go back to that, remember when I'm going through anything,
Speaker 8: to embrace life. We're fortunate to be living and I
Speaker 8: think we're fortunate to Just there was a there was
Speaker 8: a phrase of a movie and all I can say,
Speaker 8: you can eat the blank of life. And I can't
Speaker 8: remember what it was called. And it was like that
Speaker 8: just he was an Italian guy and I'm half Italian.
Speaker 8: It was like eat eat life, eat life.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's great, that's great.
Speaker 3: I have to say, before I went on this recent trip,
Speaker 3: I was, you know, doing some work on my coach
Speaker 3: and that movie showed up and I thought, oh, I
Speaker 3: know you're showing up.
Speaker 4: I need to watch that and I need to watch
Speaker 4: it today. Yeah, And it was.
Speaker 3: It's such it's so great. There's so many meanings to
Speaker 3: many of the things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, all right, Bianca. And what about yourself?
Speaker 9: Yes, I think I'll mention two books. The first book
Speaker 9: is Body, The Body Keeps the Score. I think that's
Speaker 9: a very powerful book. You know just about your body remembers,
Speaker 9: it stores the trauma and even if you don't remember everything,
Speaker 9: your body does. That's been extremely helpful book. It's very intense,
Speaker 9: but I highly recommend it. The other book I think
Speaker 9: it's made a massive difference in my life is The
Speaker 9: Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. I think a lot
Speaker 9: of people in this world, especially people who struggle as well,
Speaker 9: constantly worry about what other people say about them or
Speaker 9: what they you know, we constantly worry about everything where
Speaker 9: it's just like let them, let them gossip about you,
Speaker 9: let them, you know, not accept you for who you are.
Speaker 9: And so I definitely enjoy that book.
Speaker 3: No, those are two really great books, and I think
Speaker 3: that I mean, sometimes the most simplest things.
Speaker 4: I mean, but like you said, let them.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of power in removing yourself from situations
Speaker 3: that you may or may not have control on or
Speaker 3: that you mean, we can't control.
Speaker 4: And sometimes I love Daniel Damon for this.
Speaker 3: When I studied him early days, he'd be like, you know,
Speaker 3: ninety percent of the things that your brain says to
Speaker 3: you isn't true. Like you literally in a nanosecond will
Speaker 3: be like true, not sure, true, not true, just checking,
Speaker 3: you know, checking in.
Speaker 4: And that reminds me of that, like ooh, they're saying something,
Speaker 4: really are they?
Speaker 6: Are?
Speaker 4: They all right?
Speaker 3: So look, you ladies have decided to step into a
Speaker 3: business based around personal development, and there is listeners and
Speaker 3: watchers out there that want to do the same thing.
Speaker 3: You are all very successful and you're right, and please
Speaker 3: our viewers, we tell them to reach out to you
Speaker 3: if you hear something, and particularly in this category, if
Speaker 3: you if you lean into something when someone's talking, if
Speaker 3: you catch yourself leaning in, please reach out. Also if
Speaker 3: someone's name crosses, you know, when you hear someone speak
Speaker 3: and their name crosses, why you're like, ooh, I'd love
Speaker 3: to connect them.
Speaker 4: We'll do it.
Speaker 6: Do it.
Speaker 3: This is a really deep personal development is life changing.
Speaker 3: It is life changing, and being in business, just in
Speaker 3: business in general, has its own it has its own
Speaker 3: interesting story. And if you ladies could share, because there's
Speaker 3: people out there that are wanting to step into personal development,
Speaker 3: they're wanting to make it part of the business.
Speaker 4: Is there anything that you can share. We call it
Speaker 4: talk performance here.
Speaker 3: Just what we mean by that is something you've been
Speaker 3: able to do that's allowed you to be as successful
Speaker 3: as you are, so that people out there that are
Speaker 3: looking to get into this sector go, yeah, I can
Speaker 3: do it too, right, I can do it too. And
Speaker 3: we just like to share that on the show because
Speaker 3: that's what our show's about. Mission accepted. You're staying on
Speaker 3: the mission for a reason. So with some of those reasons,
Speaker 3: tipany yourself.
Speaker 5: I have two reasons one or two things, sorry, no reasons.
Speaker 5: One is being consistent. So people who sign up for
Speaker 5: my email, people who follow me on Instagram, the consistency
Speaker 5: is there. They expect to receive an email with some
Speaker 5: tools and strategies in it every month. And then for
Speaker 5: people on my Instagram me responding to questions or comments
Speaker 5: that people leave in the comment section. Another thing that
Speaker 5: has made a huge difference is communication, listening to what
Speaker 5: it is that my clients are needing from me, and
Speaker 5: having different tools and strategies because not everybody who comes
Speaker 5: to me needs the same tool the same strategy. And
Speaker 5: so those are two of the things that I always
Speaker 5: try and do with each and every person that I
Speaker 5: interact with.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, all right, and Jennifer, what about yourself?
Speaker 6: For me, it was not bringing old habits into the
Speaker 6: new business, So things like overworking and not prioritizing myself
Speaker 6: and my own self care. So really learning that I
Speaker 6: need to prioritize self care and creating boundaries and reminding
Speaker 6: myself that when I do rest and recharge and nourish
Speaker 6: myself that I actually come back being more productive and
Speaker 6: more creative in my business. And I had to learn
Speaker 6: that the hard way that NonStop leads to burnout. But
Speaker 6: now I schedu more time for meditation and creative reflection
Speaker 6: and outdoor walks, and these practices help me stay connected
Speaker 6: to my intuition and bringing fresh energy to everything that
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 4: Important.
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask a question about that to all
Speaker 3: of you, but particularly those in the self care industry,
Speaker 3: the personal development industry, the outpour I just that's just
Speaker 3: call it the outpoor industry, right or you're taking care
Speaker 3: of others. That piece is very important. Thank you for
Speaker 3: bringing that up, and Kathy yourself, I.
Speaker 7: Think for me one of the important aspects of my
Speaker 7: personal development, and I think pretty much anybody's personal development
Speaker 7: probably is just knowing yourself. As I said earlier, you're
Speaker 7: with you yourself. But often women don't take the time
Speaker 7: to really delve into what do they want, what are
Speaker 7: their passions, what are their values, what do they consider important?
Speaker 7: Because without knowing yourself and knowing those things you well,
Speaker 7: I know I tended to just I call it a
Speaker 7: super bawl in a closet. I don't know if people
Speaker 7: remember that, but that super ball that would bounce so
Speaker 7: high and go bing big, being all over the place,
Speaker 7: you know, and rather than being more focused figuring out
Speaker 7: boundaries what I want to do, what I don't want
Speaker 7: to do. I mean, we all have to do the
Speaker 7: haf tos. I get that, but at the same time,
Speaker 7: we don't sometimes get ourselves to the point of doing
Speaker 7: the want tos. And I think that's very important. But
Speaker 7: you don't You don't get there if you don't know yourself.
Speaker 7: So a lot of what I start out with in
Speaker 7: my book is self reflection, just figuring that out and
Speaker 7: taking the time because so often for women we were
Speaker 7: considered selfish or you know, we're lazy if we do that,
Speaker 7: and those kinds of things, those kinds of messages we've gotten,
Speaker 7: but it's so important for any kind of personal development.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I'm you know we're hearing it.
Speaker 3: It's you know, there's something consistent going on here that
Speaker 3: we're hearing.
Speaker 4: All right, Carol, yourself.
Speaker 8: Resist the instinct to throat, to strive. I think that's
Speaker 8: most important to me that because I was in corporate
Speaker 8: for so many years that in strive mode encourage women.
Speaker 8: You don't have to strive connect make sure you have
Speaker 8: a community. The outreach certainly in your emails, and how
Speaker 8: I've outreached is in contributing to books, all of them.
Speaker 8: All of my pieces have to do with personal development
Speaker 8: or personal overcoming and that kind of thing. And that
Speaker 8: you're not alone and ensure that you're not alone. That's
Speaker 8: so important. And know that you're not alone.
Speaker 4: Beautiful, so good, so good. We're not even alone on
Speaker 4: this beautiful podcast. Look at these bosses just pouring into
Speaker 4: you out there.
Speaker 7: And Bianca.
Speaker 4: For yourself, what are the you know, what's what's your
Speaker 4: answer to that question?
Speaker 9: I think what's been helpful and successful for us here
Speaker 9: at Nora for what worth is the passion. I feel
Speaker 9: like if you don't have the passion for what you're doing,
Speaker 9: it's going to be very hard to be successful. And
Speaker 9: because of how passionate I am, I give it my
Speaker 9: all every single day. So we always try to listen
Speaker 9: to the community, like if they need support groups, do
Speaker 9: they need do we need more therapists who work more
Speaker 9: with grief, you know, do we need a divorce support group?
Speaker 9: We always listen with the community needs. I think something
Speaker 9: else that is really important is networking. So for me,
Speaker 9: I am a part of a lot of great communities
Speaker 9: in my area and connect with a lot of different
Speaker 9: women to see how we can serve the community.
Speaker 3: Well, that's beautiful, right, listening to what people need and
Speaker 3: then being able to fulfill that. And I think even
Speaker 3: stopping and reflecting with some of your clients and saying, hey,
Speaker 3: how did you hear about me?
Speaker 4: Hey? What was it that brought you to me? Hey?
Speaker 4: Those those questions right? All right, So we're going to
Speaker 4: shift the energy a little bit. We were talking about.
Speaker 3: Self care, and you know what, you all need self
Speaker 3: care too. Everybody has dreams that starts a business. They
Speaker 3: are very different. They're different through your building of your business,
Speaker 3: no matter where you're at.
Speaker 4: And so I'm going to ask you.
Speaker 3: Ladies, look at something completely off the topic of your business,
Speaker 3: your personal dreams, your personal goals. What is one of
Speaker 3: your what is something on your bucket list? I think
Speaker 3: it's super powerful to say it. If you've been to
Speaker 3: any of our Live Ask parties, it's incredible to hear
Speaker 3: people ask for what they want.
Speaker 4: So, Tiffany wants something on your bucket list? That is
Speaker 4: for you?
Speaker 5: Something on my bucklist is I want to own a farm.
Speaker 5: That rescues different types of animals, all different types of animals, cows, pigs, horses, dogs, chickens,
Speaker 5: all them, and have a wildflower field that I can
Speaker 5: just run through with them all. That's one bucket list
Speaker 5: thing that I'm shooting for right now. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 5: remind me call me after I have got a connection.
Speaker 3: I've read someone that you were just gonna love to
Speaker 3: talk to, Jennifer, What about you bucket list?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard for me to separate the business and
Speaker 6: me because they're so intertwined. And I love to travel,
Speaker 6: and so I would love to bring a group of
Speaker 6: women on retreats to Africa. I loved in Keepe Town
Speaker 6: for a few years and a traveled affair a bit
Speaker 6: in Africa, So it's on my bucket list to bring
Speaker 6: some women there. There's such a deep connection to the
Speaker 6: land and powerfult healing energy that inspires me there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's well, that's great.
Speaker 3: Let us all know, let us let us know what
Speaker 3: we need to bring, what to do, all right, Kathy.
Speaker 7: Well, I actually pursued one of my bucket list items
Speaker 7: about six months ago. I was Bianca. I was living
Speaker 7: in Fort Worth, Texas for many many years and really
Speaker 7: wanted to get back to the East Coast where I
Speaker 7: grew up and be on the water. And so I
Speaker 7: did that. I mean, I just uprooted everything and move
Speaker 7: move back to the East Coast and I now am
Speaker 7: in Connecticut, right on the water and and loving it.
Speaker 7: So I did that bucket list, and I guess the
Speaker 7: rest of my bucket list is kind of like Jennifer.
Speaker 7: I love to travel. I've been over a hundred countries
Speaker 7: and I still have a bunch I have to check off.
Speaker 7: And I definitely want to go see. I want to
Speaker 7: go to Antarctica, so that's one of my bigbies.
Speaker 3: All right, Antarctica, Oh my goodness, that's amazing, Carol.
Speaker 8: I want to go to Japan. I have a I
Speaker 8: have a nephew there, so and I be I'd like
Speaker 8: to go see the beauty, the beautiful, the trees and
Speaker 8: oh this is so beautiful there.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, I'm sure cherry, the cherry blossom, that
Speaker 3: whole thing that happens in Japan.
Speaker 8: It's just absolutely.
Speaker 4: I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3: My son got to go before I did, and I've
Speaker 3: never had that. You're like, oh, my kids live in
Speaker 3: that little thing on my Chroasure map. I'm like, I
Speaker 3: should have put my name on there. Now they're living it.
Speaker 4: But I'm with you on that. Oh my goodness. And
Speaker 4: Bianca one of your one of your bucket lists, well.
Speaker 7: Beb, you just loved my bucket list.
Speaker 9: You were just in Ireland. I it's always been my
Speaker 9: bucket list to go to Ireland and then Scotland.
Speaker 7: So I would love to do that one day.
Speaker 9: Maybe I can come with you next time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's it's it's in the works. I'm not
Speaker 3: saying anymore. But we just landed today. Thank you, Thank
Speaker 3: you for sharing that piece of personal and anyone out
Speaker 3: there here's anything, they're going to reach out.
Speaker 4: So we are going to wrap this up. Ladies. It
Speaker 4: has been absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3: But as we wrap it up again, say your name
Speaker 3: and in a very short period of time, because I
Speaker 3: know this is going to be a big question, but
Speaker 3: if you can encapsulate it, because we're all about mission
Speaker 3: accepted people staying on the mission.
Speaker 4: What does it take.
Speaker 3: It's bravery, it's risk, it's love, it's commitment, it's all
Speaker 3: the things right and so tip Nails start with you.
Speaker 3: If you can just now everything's in the show notes.
Speaker 3: If anyone knows anything about us, we will let people
Speaker 3: know about you. But if you can, just please give
Speaker 3: a somewhere that someone can reach you, you know, your email
Speaker 3: or your website or whatever you want to say on air.
Speaker 3: And then what is one thing that was your risky
Speaker 3: that you took a risk for your business, one thing
Speaker 3: that felt risky.
Speaker 5: My name is Tiffany White. You can find me at
Speaker 5: Beautiful Simplicity Therapy on Instagram or Beautiful Simplicity Therapy dot com.
Speaker 7: One risk that.
Speaker 5: I did was when I was thirty six, I quit
Speaker 5: my job and went back to school because I want
Speaker 5: to be an advocate for people who have ADHD to
Speaker 5: try and make the change in how the language is
Speaker 5: spoken for them and create a place that's safe for
Speaker 5: them in the workplace, in society and so people understand
Speaker 5: what they go through more. And so that was one
Speaker 5: of my biggest risk, was quitting my job that I
Speaker 5: had stability at and going for this.
Speaker 4: So yeah, awesome, thank you. So if that rings to you,
Speaker 4: please reach out to Tiffany and Jennifer.
Speaker 6: I'm Jennifer Communema. I own moodgen community and you can
Speaker 6: find me on Instagram at Moodgen community m u j
Speaker 6: e n and ww dot mugencommunity dot com. And the
Speaker 6: biggest risk was starting the business. Similar to Tiffany, just
Speaker 6: taking that risk to leave a job that was unfulfilling
Speaker 6: and affecting my health was the biggest step of self
Speaker 6: love I've ever done for myself and just taking that
Speaker 6: leap of faith to start my own business. So you
Speaker 6: can too, And if you're wondering, reach.
Speaker 3: Out, okay, and transformation and love and all of the
Speaker 3: things that you heard Jennifer talk about early earlier.
Speaker 4: So if that leans into you, please Lena to Jennifer
Speaker 4: and Kathy.
Speaker 7: I think for me, the biggest risk was actually kind
Speaker 7: of it was partly leadership. But about twenty years ago,
Speaker 7: my daughter had a major stroke at eighteen years old,
Speaker 7: and you know, I had to assist her and support
Speaker 7: her in her rehabilitation. Her dad had left and I
Speaker 7: was trying to rediscover myself and I was given the
Speaker 7: opportunity to go to the Maldives to work for two
Speaker 7: months because I had I worked in politics for fifteen
Speaker 7: years to create a voter education program for their first
Speaker 7: presidential election, and my part of what I was bringing
Speaker 7: to the table, which they appreciated was empowerment of women
Speaker 7: because in their culture, women had not taken a lot
Speaker 7: of leadership positions. So I mean that was just out
Speaker 7: of the blue. I was offered this opportunity and I
Speaker 7: went why not? And it just it really launched my
Speaker 7: international career also because I do work now with the
Speaker 7: UN and several NGOs that work with women around the
Speaker 7: world in leadership development and so, but that was that
Speaker 7: first step, and it was like, sure, why not.
Speaker 4: That's a big one. That's a big one.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you are leaning into leadership, you know, to
Speaker 3: reach out to Kathy. Thank you so much, Kathy and Carol.
Speaker 8: I would say two things. One is similar to I
Speaker 8: believe till Tiffany's that I quit my job. I was
Speaker 8: living in Wisconsin and moved to California and went back
Speaker 8: to school at thirty three, got my bachelor's and was
Speaker 8: able to go into a completely different field, allowing me
Speaker 8: to become an author later in life and also starting
Speaker 8: a business.
Speaker 3: Those two things, Yeah, that's that's big, right, that's big.
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right?
Speaker 3: And Bianca for yourself where you will find you and
Speaker 3: a risk that you took.
Speaker 9: So I'm Bianca LaRue. I'm the owner of norm Mental
Speaker 9: Health and fort Worth and you can find me at
Speaker 9: just the website Nora Mental Health forul Worth and you
Speaker 9: will see like email, phone number and older therapist we
Speaker 9: do have. As far as the risk ist thing I've done,
Speaker 9: I would say definitely, you know, backing everything and coming
Speaker 9: to America at eighteen with nobody by myself. And I
Speaker 9: would say, with that being said, who would have thought
Speaker 9: all the struggles I faced all the years led me
Speaker 9: to opening a company.
Speaker 10: So go, oh my goodness, what an incredible show, such diversity,
Speaker 10: but same message.
