DROP YOUR EXCUSES, PICK UP YOUR WORTH, AND CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! BE BRAVE, BABE! XOXO, Jalena

Bad jokes, farm animals and babepreneurship... what more could a girl need?! In this whacky episode, Jalena talks about how and why we should lock arms with other badass entrepreneur babes (babepreneurs) so we can drop our excuses, pick up our worth and start creating the life we want, as well as the importance of attracting the RIGHT women into our biz babe tribe - women who we will build lasting friendships with and who we can support and encourage and empower - women who will do the same for us in return! Our vibe attracts our tribe (cliche, we know - but still true), and when you believe in yourself enough, others will believe in you too - and those are the babes you want in your tribe!

Are you so over crappy friendships? Are you desiring a tribe of girl friends who share your same set of high standards and are unwavering in their commitment to the friendship? In this episode, Jalena talks about why we should "date" our friends and examine our friendships closely to determine who gets to be our BFFs, as well as discuss the NEW GIRL CODE women should adopt from best selling author Lori Harder's book "A Tribe Called Bliss." Babes, let's create a Tribe that inspires and empowers women!

It's week 4 and this is usually around the time that doubt and fear kick in and I begin self-sabotaging the good things going on in my life - but rather than allow my typical sabotage to occur, I'm chatting with you babes about how we can stop our self-sabotaging behaviors and start creating the life we want - because we are are Brave Babes, and we are worth it! Whether you self-sabotage your career, relationships, health - or anything else - this episode will help you replace those negative beliefs associated with the sabotaging behavior with empowering behaviors that will help you bravely get out of your own way and reach your goals!

How often have you found yourself watching other women converse and hang out, only to be on the outside looking in and feeling left out? Or, maybe you're a part of that inner circle, unaware of the woman standing alone, desiring to be included. Friendships with other women is an area I believe we all struggle in (young & old - as I witnessed this past weekend). In this episode, I share why it's so important that we begin training our brains to start looking for commonalities with other women we meet, rather than comparing our differences, and how doing so helps us create space for all women to feel accepted. The Brave Babe Podcast is all about inspiring bravery and empowering women to drop their excuses, pick up their worth, and create a life they truly love!

Do you ever feel like telling other people to shut up and mind their own business? This is what inspired this episode! Two things happened this week that made me reflect on why too many of us aren't living the life we truly desire deep down, because we seek permission and approval from others, rather than grant it to ourselves! Listen in as I vulnerably describe the season of life I'm in right now, and how I'm choosing to be a Brave Babe and give myself permission and approval to be adventurous in discovering my passion and purpose, rather than seeking it from others, and how you can do the same!

In this episode, I'll share with you the Top 5 things that keep us, as women, from being brave in our daily lives AND how to overcome each!  The Brave Babe Podcast is all about inspiring bravery and empowering women to drop their excuses, pick up their worth, and create a life they truly love!
