Welcome to the first episode of 2024. Today, I have a very special guest. One particular part of our conversation made me reflect on something precious, and I want to share it with you. This episode is not a simple one to listen to. It's the story of a woman who fought against all odds. She stood up against her culture, her parents, the stigmas, the cancer… In her words, she stood up against God to redefine her life and live it—not the way it was meant to be, but the way she wanted to live it! She believed and said, "I deserve better." Just those 3 words gave her the power to rewrite her own story from a very young age. My friend, please welcome to your heart Saj Zafar, the founder of leaderHERship Academy and Institute of Change. Saj Zafar is a Psychologist, ex-Prison Governor, Leadership Coach, International Speaker, Author, and Certified Cultural Intelligent Facilitator.

Imagine losing your ability to walk when you are 19. You were full of life, fun, and joy and a stupid accident cost you a lifelong injury.  My guest, Amelia Peckham, was seriously injured in a quad bike accident in 2005. She suffered a spinal injury, lost all feeling and movement from her waist down, and was told she would never walk unaided again. During her rehab, she was given hospital crutches and very quickly realised they were not good enough!  It was then her mum Clare sought to find an alternative and the pair realised there wasn't one, so they decided to design, source and launch Cool Crutches. Amelia now works full-time on the business selling Crutches & Walking sticks that are comfortable, silent, practical & safe for long-term use, but that doesn't compromise on style.   When I asked Amelia, what's your message for our audience, she had 3 words for us, “Go For It”. Resilience, humour, commitment… an awesome woman, an entrepreneur, a mother…   An incredible story. Tune in and be inspired.  You can reach Amelia:  www.coolcrutches.com @coolcrutches You can reach me here: www.academyforwomenentrepreneurs.com ceylan@academywe.com   Follow me: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/academyforwomenentrepreneurs/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AWEntrepreneurs/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ceylanboyce/ To share your journey, and experience and be our guest at She is Awesome, please send an email to ceylan@academywe.com

Pricing is hard and even harder for service-based small businesses. It plays a crucial role in the success of any business, and service-based small businesses are no exception.   Often, small business owners define their pricing strategy based on feeling … without doing proper research or strategic thinking around. Well the first rule in finding the right pricing is not trusting your feelings. Your feelings are just feelings, get informed and make strategic choices. That's the only way to be comfortable with your pricing.   Secondly, be ready to adjust – it takes time to get it right, and therefore you need to allow a buffer … I will talk about this in a second.     In this episode, I talk about different steps to help you define the right pricing strategy for your service-based business.       Elevate Her Summer Celebration is happening, and it's all about celebrating YOU and your amazing uniqueness.

In this episode, I talk about something that you experience. This a widespread problem for entrepreneurs and especially female founders. A real barrier to growth and a massive barrier to happiness as a business owner. The main cause of your inconsistency and lack of energy. I call it “the sneaky bastard” who creeps up on you slowly without you noticing it at the start and becomes this big monster, suddenly costing you big mistakes, making you dislike your work and your baby business (how could he) and preventing you even from celebrating your wins. Its name is "overwhelm". You all know it. Right? Well, in this episode, you will hear three practical tips that will help you overcome it or even better, prevent it.   Elevate Her Summer Celebration is happening, and it's all about celebrating YOU and your amazing uniqueness.

What is a brand? A question I hear very often!  It is such an intangible yet strong asset for your business that I had to bring the crème de la crème guest to tell us what it is and how to build a strong brand with intention to create meaningful connections with your audience.   In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Aarti Parmar a multi award-winning Brand Strategist and Personal Performance Coach who “loves to educate and empower business owners to mindfully define their brand to use it with intent, joy, and impact. Resulting in them building a valued and meaningful brand.”   With over 18 years of experience working with solopreneurs and SMEs both in the UK and overseas. Aarti has empowered thousands of business owners to steer their brands to lead with purpose, communicate with certainty and enjoy commercial growth.   She believes if a brand isn't clear on the inside, it will not be clear on the outside!   So without further due, I am so pleased welcome Aarti here on the She is Awesome podcast.   YOU CAN REACH AARTI HERE: https://www.aartiparmar.com https://www.instagram.com/aarti.parmar https://www.linkedin.com/in/aartiparmar Elevate Her Summer Celebration is happening, and it's all about celebrating YOU andyour amazing uniqueness.

In this episode, I was honoured to host Tass Cambitzi, the founder of Vanitas Method. Tass is a world-class trainer, yoga teacher, massage therapist and amateur bodybuilder with 13 years in the industry. Her unique take on movement encompasses both the physical and esoteric, the aesthetic and the spiritual.   Tass is my health and nutrition coach… and the journey with Tass has been deeply positive, powerful, and relatable from a business perspective. So, we decided to have a friendly chat about what makes great things great in life. We found out that whether it's health, nutrition, physical, life, business or relationship goals, the building blocks are the same, and the skills are transferable.   This episode explores the concept of discipline, clarity and what happens to us when we are unclear… The coachability and many more, and we will come to a great conclusion… Are you ready?

In this episode, I am talking about your worst enemy! The one that costs you your dreams. That enemy that makes you lose time and money over the smallest details, the one that makes you feel like “it's not ready yet”, “It is not good enough” yet…   Can you guess it now? Yes, I am talking about perfectionism! Or shall I call it, fear of being seen hidden under a fancy name called perfectionism.  Today, my objective is to give you a few mental models to catch yourself when you are being a “perfectionist” and a few tools to manage yourself and your perfectionism.   ELEVATE HER - SUMMER CELEBRATION!  It's time to shine like the summer sun!

Do you keep failing in building healthy routines that you know will change your life but you keep failing at them? A magical morning routine, a magical evening routine, a great business routine… we all heard about these transformative and powerful ways of living. If only you were able to build into your life, but somehow, things slip, and you never seem to do it more than a few times.  If you relate to what I am saying now, this episode is for you. This episode is not about me telling you which routines are magical for you; this episode is about me guiding you to find yours and build your own ones.

She is back! My first-ever interviewee is back, and not only is she back, but she is full of wisdom.   In January 2022, I interviewed Stefania Bartolomei, founder of One of A Style, an award-winning style coaching agency, for the first-ever interview of She is Awesome Show. Since then it has been the most listened to, most liked episode of the show. In that first episode, we were just coming out of covid. Actually, I remember I had Covid when I was interviewing her. And she talked about her struggles and how she led her business to success during covid. As we are friends and we work together, I watched her business grow and blossom and transform in the past 15 months, and I am telling you the change is tangible.  I had to have her back to tell us her story, the story of the leap of faith and growth. The real deal entrepreneurship like you have never seen. So without further due, I am so honoured and excited to welcome back my friend Stefania to the She is Awesome podcast.   Connect.Plan.Grow Connect Come and Lunch with us at one of our networking meetings!

Do you want to hear what is the best strategy I have ever been given for my business? Well, this is the episode of my epic business guru moment!   I promise, this story was the highest moment of my entrepreneurial life as a woman. It taught me so much…   And the guy who taught me this … wow what a guru … I will be forever in debt to him.   So… As you can imagine, the story will not go very well…so buckle up you all for the best ride with my 20-second business guru experience.   In this episode, I talked about when and how to choose your business coach… Why did I do this? Because I have heard too many horror stories… Usually, when people think they need business coaching, they are in a though spot, and some self-proclaimed gurus don't have peoples' best interests in heart. Instead, they play to their fears and lack to sell their products. And I think there is a better way of being coach, educator.     Connect.Plan.Grow Connect Come and Lunch with us at one of our networking meetings!

One of the most stressful situations in entrepreneurship life is the first recruitment… You are still not sure if you cracked the code for ongoing, growing income, but you can no longer do it all and you HAVE to recruit, or the consequences will be even worse… But it's scary!

Why don't women scale their business as men do? Why don't they make as much money as men do? And I am actually talking about like-for-like businesses. Take a photographer. Why a male photographer earns more than a woman as a general rule?  And more importantly, what can we do about it?  These questions have been at the forefront of my mind since I started my journey in women empowerment. And I would never diminish the importance of systemic errors and inequalities that have caused a lot of barriers for women to advance in the workforce The fact is women business owners start the race way behind their male counterparts, and they have more systemic barriers than their male counterparts. But we all know. Having said that, the change will start and get stronger within... Unless we make sure to champion and be strong for ourselves ... the change will not happen. In this episode, I will talk about some deep stuff that I hope will help you take your business and your life to a place of fulfilment and satisfaction. Before I get into the thought provoking facts and figures I found during my research, I just want to tell you something…The 5 mindset shifts that I will share here came to me really late, and I know now that had I had a different look, and different perception in life and towards myself, I would have had an easier and more impactful journey.
