No (wo)man is an island.
Behind every successful female leader, there’s usually a group of women who listen, advise, support, coach, and lift each other up. Female business owners often face challenges that their male counterparts don’t, and they need a supportive community to ensure their success.
Today, I’m being interviewed by one of my little group of Business BFFs – author, artist, screenwriter, and alignment coach, Rachel Archelaus.
Rachel has seen me at my best and at my worst, and today we’re talking about the journey that led to this podcast.
In this episode, Rachel and I talk about
- My childhood role models and first steps in the entertainment industry
- Why it’s essential to have a community of business friends who’ve got your back when you’re starting or growing something
- Growing pains (and crashing and burning) when you start a business… and how to avoid some of them
- How I created a training to help women in business uncover their true leadership potential
- The story of how My Good Woman came to be
This episode at a glance:
[04:52] Why I’m so passionate about helping women find their true calling as a leader and supporting each other to rise (because each of us is extraordinary in our own way, and the world needs to see that!)
[10:20] How my mentor and former boss, Leanne, encouraged me to work out what I was really passionate about and use that discovery to start my own thing.
[13:48] Why it’s so much harder to run a business when you want to do everything and help everybody ( the importance of finding your niche)
[17:46] How many women tend to sit behind the scenes and work out our ideas by ourselves, stuck in our own echo chamber, doing all the work to make it “picture perfect” before going into the world and road-testing something. And why it’s actually important to talk with others, and listen, before you develop your ideas.
[19:23] What can go wrong when women try to lead like a man: the two sides of that coin
[23:10] How my mastermind group helped me overcome a burnout – and by asking the right questions, helped me uncover what I really wanted to do. Which, in the end, led to this podcast!
