Women. We are strong, powerful, intuitive, and creative beings. We have the capacity to hold each other up or tear each other down. As we come to the end of international women month, we want to celebrate all of you who are making the world go round! This episode speaks to all of the gifts, both hidden and visible, that we all share. We discuss how we can turn our passions and deeper feelings into movements, and side hustles, even full-blown enterprises. Sometimes a friendship is born, and it changes the course of your life. In a world where life can seem so hard to manage, finding your tribe can be one of the most important investments you will ever make. Women need to come together and encourage each other. It's easy to compare ourselves against one another and find all of the ways we don't measure up. But if we could help each other recognize our gifts and support that growth, we all win. The truth is, there is room for all of us—we aren't competing for anything but acceptance and community. And above all, love.
Our conversation with Monica takes you on the journey of a lifelong friendship that had endured the test of time. Monica is such a powerful example of converting your passions, ideas, and thoughts into so much more. She shares how she has turned her desires into movements and how they have evolved into public service. Her courage to unapologetically move through life has put her in a powerful position. If elected, she will become the first Mayor in her city. Her capacity to see, hear, and feel the needs of those around her is her superpower. To become a voice for those who struggle is something we can all do.
What lights you up? How can you become a witness to another human? The truth is, we all have more in common with our struggles than we do with any curated life. If we can find those who have earned the right to hear our stories and share the good, the bad, and the ugly, we change the world. We hope this episode inspires you to search deeper for your passions and make conscious efforts to be a witness to those you love most. To be seen and heard is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer.
