In case you didn't notice (because let's be real, we all have a LOT going on these days), I've been MIA since August 2021. SO much has happened and I'm giving you the FULL update here in this episode. From my health to moving to Denver to relationship ups and downs, navigating this season of my life has been far from easy. But I'm coming to you as a new woman. A woman I wouldn't have dreamed of being six months ago. In this episode, I deep dive into: The pivotal moments that led me to my six-month hiatus My reflections on this journey I've been on, what it's meant to me, and how I've navigated it Radical self-honesty about being in integrity, loving yourself, and setting boundaries How I'm integrating all the lessons I learned and moving forward Rate & Review The SheFactor Podcast | @theshefactor | @toriganahl -------------------------------------------- Take THIS SURVEY to help me create intentional content and experiences made to meet you exactly where you're at.

You know those moments of regret that still haunt you from your PRE-growth journey? All those drunk hookups, toxic friendships, and cries for love & attention... yeah, those moments. Those are all thanks to EMOTIONAL ILLITERACY, aka the lack of control over our emotions and our inability to healthfully cope. On the other side of the regrets, missteps, and "WTF" moments is EMOTIONAL HEALTH. And today's guest Ali McGregor is joining us to share how she found her way back to peace, self-love, and resilience after a long stint of illiteracy, unworthiness, and unmet expectations. ALI'S TWENTIES THOUGHTS: One of my proudest moments was finally turning inwards and truly loving my body, no longer being so nasty and negative towards it. Being able to catch myself now and having that awareness has been like letting go of 100 pounds of dead weight like I'm coming back to me. Along the way, I found out a lot of what I DON'T like. It's like finding a needle in the haystack... You just have to start somewhere and figure it out along the way. But if you sit around and wait for the moment, it's just never right. You can be CREATIVE. You don't have to be stuck in these cookie-cutter positions that everyone has already done. You might not know what you want to do today because that job might not be created. So go design & create it yourself! Pursue anything RELENTLESSLY and just go for it. And know that it's not a failure if something doesn't go right. It was just a learning lesson along the way.

In the first episode of this new chapter of The SheFactor Podcast, 26-year-old Emma Musto shares her real-life 20's version of Eat Pray Love (minus the divorce and Julia Roberts). In fact, it just might be better than the classic book & movie we all love… Needless to say, Emma was never destined for a “traditional” life, starting from the time she and her single mom lived 50/50 between Romania and Miami. It took a LOT of sudden change, wrong directions, and doing what she felt like she “should” before finally realizing that society's “norm” just wasn't her style. Today, her style looks more like living “VanLife” with her husband from South Africa, who she manifested and met in the same night while in Bali for a yoga retreat and proceeded to travel the world with for the entire next year. You can't make this stuff up. EMMA'S TWENTIES THOUGHTS: You have to do the hard things that weren't meant for you to discover the things that WERE meant for you, even if you have to change course a million times over. All of the uncomfortable moments and complete meltdowns will ultimately end up pointing you in the right direction. What feels like a “quarter-life crisis” is really just your intuition guiding you towards what FEELS right, rather than what you THINK needs to happen. We may think we're chasing happiness but what we really want is freedom. Freedom to be who we want to be and live life on our own terms. Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

Our twenties are so much about unlearning everything we've been spoon-fed up to this point so we can return to the core of who we really are. As we grow up and start to do the inner work, we can unlearn all of the stories and beliefs conditioned to protect us over the years and tap into those traits and gifts still within us -- our natural-born state of love, enthusiasm, curiosity, creativity, compassion -- to enhance our quality of life, well-being, and happiness as an adult! By healing, the positive traits of our inner child have room to shine. We unlock our true gifts, our inner curiosity, and our limitless capacity to love, the inner compass of who we are and always have been. We've had her in us all along, and she'll always be there for us to come back to. So how do we reconnect and awaken that light within us? And how do we keep that light shining BRIGHT through the anticipated roller coaster of adulthood? In today's episode, Tori talks about: The secret to self-acceptance Traveling back to your childhood in order to reveal your most authentic self The massive shift that happens when you're doing the inner work Calling on your inner child to see your life's path & purpose Journal prompts, activities, and a guided meditation Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

The truth about self-growth is that it's not always pretty. In fact, it can be raw, emotional, hard, and exhausting. And sometimes you get so caught up in who you're becoming that you forget who you are. This week, Tori talks about the difference between being vulnerable with others and really being vulnerable with yourself. In this journey of self-discovery and evolution, we all have dark moments. We are all moving through something behind the Instagram highlight reel, the habitual "I'm good" or "I'm fine" response to "How are you?", the unanswered text messages, DM's, and phone calls. Behind all of those things, we're deeply feeling and transforming. But how do you make sure that through that transformation, you don't completely lose touch with what makes you, YOU? In today's episode, Tori talks about: Reflections on her self-growth journey since last December A very vulnerable moment she never expected to share The #1 sign that something in your life needs to shift How to stay true to yourself through massive transformation Being vulnerable with others vs. being vulnerable with YOURSELF STAY TUNED FOR PART 2, COMING SOON!

In our twenties, it's easy for us to get caught up in what's holding us back from the life we're dreaming of. Dwelling on the latest office drama, being too hard on ourselves for not crossing everything off our to-do list, or even just feeling unmotivated by the season of life we're in. But for today's guest, the little inconveniences of her twenties were the least of her worries as she contemplated whether or not she'd be able to ever live a normal life again. In today's episode, Carrie shares personal details regarding the challenges she's faced in her life and how she overcame unsurmountable odds through the help of her positive mindset. By connecting to daily rituals, gratitude, and strong boundaries, she was able to persevere through hospital bedrest for over 130 days, almost having her leg amputated, nearly dying during childbirth, and later being diagnosed with PTSD. She's here to show you how to incorporate these strategies to successfully use them in your own life so you too can feel in control and maintain a positive mindset when faced with any kind of challenge. In today's episode, we talk about: Spending her 20's in and out of a hospital bed How perseverance and positive mindset saved her life Staying positive in our darkest moments Getting grounded in gratitude and daily routine Not falling victim to what you can't control Not comparing our stories to other people's Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

"Follow your heart." We've heard it over and over again since we were kids, but what does it really mean? In traditional terms, the word courage comes from Latin and it means "acting with your heart." So, following your heart could mean having the courage to do what you think is right. But how the heck do you know what's right when your heart is telling you one thing, your head is telling you another, and everyone around you is telling you even MORE?! Just breathe. Easier said than done in this busy busy world we live in, right? Lucky for you, today's guest is an expert in just that... breathing! Jenna Reiss is a healer, writer, and Breathwork Meditation Coach focused on helping you connect to your innate wisdom and intuition, or what Jenna refers to as your Wild Heart. In today's episode, we talk about: Not knowing where to start or feeling "bad" at meditation How to get out of your own way and connect to your intuition Tori & Jenna's personal healing experiences through breathwork What it means to connect to your "wild heart" How to surrender & the magic that is waiting on the other side once you do Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

On this week's episode, the tables are turning (literally). Tori invites a dear friend and host of the REAL FCKN TALK podcast Brenna Guinan on the show to interview her about the mental and physical health issues she's been facing for the last several months. Brenna may be a licensed therapist and mental health counselor, but she's also real AF and doesn't hold back when it comes to talking about her own sh*t, too. Tori and Brenna sit down to talk about the deep stuff, with comedic relief (duh). Brenna started REAL FCKN TALK to show the world that we all have our sh*t. The podcast is dedicated to breaking down the walls of everyone's "perfect" life, sharing open and honest conversations around mental health struggles, difficulties, and what the aftermath of it all looks like -- keeping it 100% REAL all the fckn time. In this episode, we talk about... Tori and Brenna's experiences having COVID The long-term side effects still rocking Tori's day-to-day The isolation and mental health struggles we've all experienced in the last year Finding our identities beyond diagnosed conditions The power of sharing our stories with others Keeping it REAL, authentic, and vulnerable (even when it's hard) Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

Wondering where we've been for the last month? Host Tori Ganahl is back and ready to give you a glimpse into the ups and downs of her life during the last several months. Over the next few weeks, Tori's laying it all out on the table as she brings on guests (old and new) to dive deeper into the struggles she's been facing. During this week's episode, we're throwing it back all the way to November where it all began featuring an interview with Rocío "Luz" Cadena, the founder of Life of Leisure, all about burnout. Luz's fascination with leisure started at a young age, growing up in a small Mexican village where she spent most of her time being, imagining, thinking, and daydreaming (rather than doing, producing, or worrying about the future). After living a glorious "millennial retirement" studying abroad and unemployed for several months stateside, Luz decided to share her passion for holistic living with others through her now digital global platform, providing creative, overwhelmed women transcend the toxic ethos of busyness, burnout and workism through community, virtual + in-person events and coaching services. In this episode, we talk about… What "leisure" really means The toxic culture of busyness that leads to massive burnout How to identify the early signs of burnout (before it's too late) The importance of a holistic lifestyle and self-discovery Incorporating more playfulness, joy, and FUN into our daily lives Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

Ever wonder how a people-pleasing perfectionist defines success?! It's probably not what you'd think... Today's guest on our mini-series Success in 6 Minutes has a pretty simple formula for success: Naps (and snacks, duh...), Gratitude (all the blessings, rainbows & unicorns), and making sure your close circle is elevated. But it hasn't always looked like that.  Cheyenne Baker is a 24-year-old with a penchant for expressing her thoughts through writing and amusing rants on her IG stories. With an eclectic style and a heart of service, Cheyenne helps women end perfectionism and leap out of their quarter-life crises. On any given day, you can find her trying to maintain a zen vibe with tacos, tequila, and booty rubs. Cheyenne fully embraces a lifestyle of “both, and..” where two seemingly opposite ideas are combined to beautifully embody her experience. A proud proclaimer of all things sophistiratchet; Cheyenne holds space for those in her many circles to twerk and meditate, wear stilettos and sneakers, eat arugula salads, and kool-aid pickles.  Get your ticket to the SheLeads Success Summit to join Cheyenne's workshop, Not Your Perfect Perfectionist: Many people think they have to be the stereotypical a-type person to struggle with perfectionism. That's simply not true. In this workshop, you'll learn the five stages of the perfectionism cycle and how to work with your perfectionism so she's no longer wreaking havoc in your life.  Get 50% off your SheLeads Success Summit ticket until Friday 4/23 at 11:59pm PST: General Admission ($39.50) | VIP Ticket ($74.50) RESOURCES: SheLeads Success Summit on April 29th (30 Day Access with GA, Lifetime Access with VIP) Meet the leading ladies of SheLeads!

Introducing... the SHELEADS SUCCESS SUMMIT: A one day summit to level up your leadership

In honor of Women's History Month, we're asking ourselves... "What does it mean to be a woman?" For today's guest Melissa Herrera, being a woman means being resilient. Melissa is the host & creator of Mimosa Sisterhood, a women's history & lifestyle podcast dedicated to celebrating & amplifying women's voices, past and present. But don't mistake her for a historian. What started as two girlfriends in college studying feminist history who regularly ditched class to drink at the bar, has now turned into a weekly celebration of women's stories with Melissa's unique spin of "equal parts feminist and equal parts party girl"! Melissa's mission is to set the record straight about women in history by sharing captivating stories of women whose stories were either swept under the rug or completely written over. And to celebrate this month of HERstory, we asked Melissa to bring three of her favorite must-know women of history to talk about on the podcast today! In this episode, we chat about… Healing our wounds by learning other women's stories Three of her fav women in history (see below

Let's talk WOMANHOOD. In honor of International Women's Day, we have a special two-part series this week talking all about the parts of being a woman we rarely ever talk about… periods, sex, desire, and honoring our bodies. Kat Harris of @therefinedwoman joins us to ask the hard questions about desire. As a 35-year-old virgin, she's done the DEEP work questioning what sex means on her journey, especially related to her faith. Over the years, she's researched what the Bible says about this topic and identified what her own truth is when it comes to sexual pleasure. Kat's book Sexless In The City is coming out next month where she sets out to empower a generation set free from sexual shame, giving you the framework and support to ask those hard questions for yourself. In this episode, we talk about… What the Bible says about sex and desire How Kat awakened her sexual desire after years of being shut down and feeling sexually silenced by the church Holding our virginity on a pedestal Sexual integrity + protecting the male gaze Creating a healthy sexual ethic + letting go of sexual shame Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

Let's talk WOMANHOOD. In honor of International Women's Day, we have a special two-part series this week talking all about the parts of being a woman we rarely ever talk about… periods, sex, desire, and honoring our bodies. Gone are the days where women used to go away together to celebrate the coming of their period under the moon, dancing and connecting over this beautiful thing that only we as women get to experience. When did we make talking about our periods “awkward” or feel “icky” about bringing it up in conversations with not only men but with each other? Katrina Swanson discovered her passion for hormone health after dealing with her own personal struggles with her period, being diagnosed with PCOS, and realizing the need for more education around our periods and menstrual cycles. She is now a voice for women's wellness and hormonal health, empowering women to discover their feminine power by connecting to their cycles. In this episode, we talk about… The power that comes with optimizing your routine + health with your cycle Breaking the toxic relationship + unhealthy habits we have around our body Signs of hormone imbalance + how to return back to an optimal hormonal state Talking to men about periods Living in feminine energy in a masculine-centric society The stress + trauma associated with fertility Connecting to the deepest part of what makes us women Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

We had been planning on sitting down to record a podcast with one of our SheFactor members Julia of @geobreezetravel since last May but put it off until it was time to talk all about FINANCE (she IS the queen of travel hacking and credit card points, duh). Little did we know, the timing of it all would surface a much more alarming conversation… Ever since the rise of COVID-19, there has been a MAJOR increase in hate-crimes against the Asian community. But as much as people want to believe that these crimes are “pandemic-related”, the reality is racism against Asians is much more deeply rooted. In the last several weeks, Asians all across America (especially elder Asians) have been brutally murdered and attacked. So why is no one talking about it? Julia joins us today for an extremely vulnerable conversation addressing what exactly is happening in the Asian community right now, and how we can answer their cries for help (plus some fun travel hacking tips, of course). In this episode, we talk about… The hate-crimes and murders devastating the Asian community The lack of coverage and solidarity for Asian-Americans "Meme activism" vs. REAL activism The history of racism against Asian-Americans + her own personal experience as a Filipino woman How non-Asian's can bring attention + awareness to what's happening Travel hacking, the best credit cards on the market + using these tools to do good in the world! PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE TO BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE. This is NOT about download numbers, double taps, or monetization. It's about advocating for those whose voices feel silenced, and being the voice for them in our own close circles and communities.

When you hear the word FUTURE, how does it make you feel? Terrified of the unknown, do you cringe at the uncertainty? Or does it make you excited about all the possibilities? Eager to wake up tomorrow and see what life has to hold? Your 20's is the decade of your life that shapes and molds the rest, in a good way and a bad way. Sometimes we go all in and then realize it's the wrong direction. The choices you make now, early on in life, have an exponential impact on your path in life. Although you can't always control the circumstances, you can have an innate confidence and connection with your intuition that will ensure you you're on the right path -- the compass of who you are.  In today's episode, Tori talks about...

While we normally think of the word NOURISH in the context of food & nutrition, it's so much more than that. It's about EVERYTHING that we need for our overall health, wellbeing, and GROWTH. And the best part about it is that we have 100% control over what substances we put in our body to feel nourished, or what we like to say at SheFactor, what FUELS us. Nourishment is about your holistic wellbeing - mind, body & spirit. So really simply put, it's self-care with the intention to THRIVE. Offer yourself a hug, meditate, do yoga, listen to music, connect with another human being, sit still & feel your own breath, or breath in deeply and exhale everything out with tons of exaggeration. Do whatever you need to FEEL GOOD ✨ Download today's freebie for 20+ ways to nourish your body, mind, & spirit!

Having a daily routine is essential for a productive & purposeful life. It grounds us in the necessities we need to thrive! Because without it, we start drifting through our days. And our days become weeks, and weeks become months, and before we know it, we have a lot of wasted time on our hands (wasted time definitely not spent on YOU, aka #selfcare). So start 2021 fresh with a NEW routine, what do YOU need?

Let's be honest - if 2020 has been anything, it's been uncertain. Holding onto hope for the future takes bravery, perseverance, and most importantly… today's topic, COURAGE. Courage is simple. It's not something we have to learn or grow into, or something we only get in moments where we absolutely need it. It doesn't always have to be big and grand. Sure, it's in our lowest moments where courage shows it's beauty the most. But courage can also be soft-spoken. It's something we draw strength from in life's everyday battles - a strength we've had to uncover more than ever over the last year. SheFactor member Carley H. joins us for today's podcast where she talks to Tori about:

You know that feeling like you're not good enough when it comes to creativity? Well, guess what, girl... IT'S NOT TRUE. You are MORE than good enough. Day 9 of the 21 Days of She is all about CREATIVITY, so what better day than to bring on sister duo Lauren and Sari of the Creative Cravings Podcast!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In this bonus episode, we talk about how we all struggled with the identity that we were creatives, and if we could even consider ourselves artists as entrepreneurs. We dive deep into:

They say the holiday season is the most joyful time of the year, but what if it's not? Despite the positivity and sense of togetherness that comes with holiday celebrations, so many of us feel sadness and stress too - and that's OKAY. So whether you're feeling the holiday spirit or not, we're here to assure you of all the good that lies ahead, introducing today's theme… JOY! A joyful life is the best life we can hope to achieve right? It's the kind of life that produces positive vibes and good energy, and encourages us to always look to the future with high hopes and dreams! While you might only feel it for a moment in time, you can hold onto that moment. Relish in it. And focus on calling more of those moments into your life. What brings you joy?

The older we get, the choosier we get with our friendships. Who we give our time, energy, and love to. Who chooses to return it. And how friendship has evolved in this new phase of adulthood… As we go from sleepovers and sororities to happy hours and weekend trips, we grow, we mature, and we change. ⁠But our friends don't grow, mature, or change at the same rate as us. Or maybe our lives go down completely different paths. So how do you know when a friendship has run its course, or if it's worth fighting for?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Today is all about FRIENDSHIP for 21 Days of She!

What if we told you, the most important way to give doesn't require any money at all? Kindness is one thing that you'll never regret. Whether it's sharing a smile, a compliment, or an act of helping one another, those moments can change the entire direction of our day. And the thing about kindness is… it's sort of contagious! One smile you give leads to that person smiling to another, to another, to another. Today is a throwback to exactly this time last year where we interviewed Lauren Mims of the Bad Bettie Project, someone who has figured out an incredible way to pay it forward to thousands of women in her community. EPISODE 21: 3 Ways to Take Care of Each Other with Lauren Mims, Executive Director of the Bad Bettie Project Lauren Mims joins Tori to talk about her passion project, the Bad Bettie Project. After moving to Colorado following the tragic loss of her fiance, Lauren found herself struggling to find community and meaningful friendships in her new city. The Bad Bettie Project was born out of the need for sisterhood and friendship and has since blossomed into a resource for young women to find success. They host monthly meet-ups and events to encourage IRL interactions while also using their online community (just awarded & recognized as one of Facebook's strongest group communities) as a hub for anything you might need. Additionally, they have a gift shop where all proceeds go directly to our Emergency Bettie Fund to support any members in financial crisis. Lauren shares how it got started, how they focus on giving back, and their goals for the upcoming year! IMPORTANT LINKS: Download today's freebie!

Success. We all want it in one way or another. In school or in our careers. In relationships with our children, partner, friends, someone we just started seeing, and with ourselves. With our mental and physical health. But how do you find success? What is success? And what does SUCCESS look like during a year like this? Is it launching a new venture, graduating from school, or as simple as getting out of bed every morning? However you define success, today's topic is focused on aiming for it and just GOING for it!

If you had to describe 2020 in one word, what would it be? FUN probably wasn't the first word that comes to mind… It feels a bit like we're stuck in repeat these days, doesn't it? Having been stuck inside our homes for most of this year, today's topic is one I think we're all craving a little extra these days. Day 4 is all about bringing a sense of ADVENTURE to your life.

Do you have what it takes to LEAD? Yes, but it's not a matter of if you can lead, but how you should lead. Leadership isn't about power, authority, or telling people what to do.

Today's topic is PASSION. It's what gets us out of bed every morning, inspires us to dream big about the future, and keeps us going when we want to give up. But how do you find your passion? If you don't know what you're passionate about, you're not alone. One of the things that keeps us from living a life we truly love is figuring out what we're passionate about in the first place. And most of us go about it all wrong. In today's episode, Tori walks you through an exercise to help you figure out what lights you up inside and how to live a life filled with passion!

This Thanksgiving hits different for most of us. Maybe it's the first time without your family, spending it solo, or having a small Friendsgiving feast. Wherever you land, Thanksgiving this year allows us to reflect on the traditions and memories that we might have taken for granted. But the one thing that doesn't change? The one constant we can all rely on? Gratitude. Tori shares her biggest takeaways from Tony Robbin's Unleash The Power Within event she attended last week. She reflects on how precious this life is, and how embracing her memories has allowed her to get grounded in gratitude and love now more than ever. In this episode, she talks about…

Flowers changed Melissa Thomas' life, literally. On today's episode, Melissa shares the story of answering her soul's calling to learn floral design and how she fell madly in love with all things flowers. Flowers cultivate healing and joy on the most important days of our lives - weddings, funerals, anniversaries, surgeries, really any major moment in our life is complemented by flowers. They hold higher vibrational energy, a potent healing balm for the soul, and an expression of the divine... a magic that would completely restore Melissa's love for living after a lifetime battle with crippling chronic anxiety and depression. Melissa now spreads joy and kindness through her business Pepper Rose Design, offering the gift of healing, artful & feminine floral designs through pop-up shops, events, workshops, classes, & the *Virtual* Pepper Rose Flower Shop. In this episode, we talk about...

"Gratitude is like the Universe's fertilizer, focus on what you desire, and even if it's teeny-tiny, flood it with appreciation, and watch it grow." Today's guest is all about helping you become your favorite version of YOU! Introducing Cheryl Sutherland, founder of PleaseNotes, a for-purpose company of affirmation-filled products. Cheryl felt restless and underwhelmed at her 9 to 5. After spending over 1400 hours in learning and facilitating personal development, coaching, and reigniting her inner creativity, Cheryl created a company that inspires women to step into their own power by building confidence, clarity, and creativity.

Cheryl makes it super easy to get all the info you need to know about gratitude, and create easy, effective ways to practice it so you can;

Natalie Levy's lust for life is deep-rooted. After losing her mom to breast cancer at 11, she fell into a deep depression, leaving her feeling unworthy of anything that felt good - love, happiness, self-esteem. That depression lasted 11 years. And somewhere between an eating disorder and overindulgence, it dawned on her that to create the life she dreamed of and to make a real and lasting impact on the world, she would have to learn to love and heal herself first. And so where is she now? ...spending her quarantine in Tulum, Mexico, where's she able to live her dream of empowering women to attract abundance in all areas of their lives and believe that everything is possible. But the beauty isn't in where she's ended up, but in the journey that led her to this moment. She always knew she was destined for something more than the life she was living, and never gave up searching for that desire to change people's lives. Join us as we dive into all the cringe-worthy and inspiring moments of her journey, and learn more about her upcoming workshop during our SheCares Wellness Summit Everything is Possible: Attracting Abundance in All Areas of Your Life! In her workshop, Natalie breaks down the "buzzwords" of personal development into real and tangible steps to attracting abundance into your life as you lay a foundation that you can carry with you far into the future. If there's an area of your life where you are dreaming of more peace and success, this is the workshop (& podcast!) for you. ----- Looking for more She in your life?

Self-care is SO important, but most often, we think about it as a reaction to circumstances in our life or a means to de-stress and relax. But what if you thought of self-care as much more than that? Today's guest Jaclyn DiGregorio's perspective of self-care is a game-changer. In this week's episode, Jaclyn walks us through her journey of failure and how that led her to use self-care as a way to amplify her success. Like a lot of us in our twenties, Jaclyn sought after a 9-5 job that led her to question what she really wanted out of life. She was constantly wondering, "Is this it? Is this the best it's ever going to get?" With no experience, no savings, and tons of failure under her belt, she took a leap of faith and started her business. Now she's living out her dream life at 25 years old! And here's the cool part - she's no different from you. She believes that we all have the potential inside of us to create lives we absolutely love (is that on-brand for SheFactor, or what?). Unfortunately, our brains like to come up with lies about why this might be possible for someone else, but not for us. The good news is, that those things are simply not true. You deserve to live a beautiful, joy-filled, abundant, fulfilling life, where you say yes to the things that light you up inside, no matter how scary they may be. In this episode, we talk about: ☀️ Why mindset is the key to success ☀️ How to get out of your comfort zone ☀️ Why failure is inevitable (and how to take it like a champ) ☀️ How to find courage even in moments of fear Get your ticket to the SheCares Wellness Summit to tune into Jaclyn's workshop How to Use Self-Care to Amplify Your Success: Using Your Vibration & Manifestation Principles to Achieve Your Biggest Goals. In this workshop, you'll learn about how self-care is an indispensable tool for success. Specifically, we will dive into how the universal laws and principles of manifestation can be applied to the topic of self-care, and more importantly how this can help you achieve your biggest goals.

What's the difference between happiness and joy? And how about joy and fear? It seems like an obvious answer, right? But what if joy and fear were much more similar to each other than joy and happiness? Today's guest is full of amazing insight -- insight that she's sharing with us today, but also as one of our keynote speakers at the SheCares Wellness Summit! You may know her as Rachel Hollis' BFF or author of the book Worth It, but today you get a deeper look into who Brit Barron really is and how her journey has shaped her into who she is today. Brit spent the first part of her life in the evangelical church and eventually became a pastor at a megachurch at the ripe age of 26. After peaking too soon, she started to understand more about herself, her dreams, and her sexuality. She met a woman named Sami that changed, saved, and transformed her whole life. Meeting Sami, leaving the church, coming out, and getting married has given Brit a deep-seated passion for reminding people that choosing freedom is always worth it no matter the cost. And an equal passion for finding joy every single day, making time to have as much fun as possible on this journey called life. During her SheCares workshop, she'll talk about how to make decisions for YOU. How do we overcome the idea that being selfish is bad and embrace the reality that when we are able to make decisions for ourselves, be true to who we are - we create an environment for those around us to do the same? Get your ticket to find out! ----- Looking for more She in your life?

Peloton Instructor Kendall Toole, aka FITx, lives by two mantras. The first is Feminine, Intelligent, Tough - which makes up her nickname of FITx. The second: “They can knock you down, but they can NEVER knock you out.” In this episode, we throw it back to our SheGrad Party where Kendall talks about how boxing brought her out of her darkest moments. After years and years of struggling with perfectionism, mental health, anxiety, and depression, she found joy and confidence in fitness. With every punch she threw, she gained the energy to fight, igniting a spark within her. And now she helps others bring that undeniable power and pride into all they do. Regardless of any pressures telling you to minimize who you are and what you're meant to give, you have to keep fighting. “I am not perfect. I am so far from it and my depression and anxiety are something I deal with daily (some days better than others), but the truly beautiful realization is that its these flaws, vulnerabilities, and insecurities that make us unmistakably human. To be human I think the highest praise you can receive; it's not about the subjective standard, but about living as wholly and truly to YOUR full capabilities in mind, body, and spirit.” Check out the video here! For the month of October, we're talking about FAVOR. Favor is what fills your soul. By giving back to others in your time, talent, and treasure, you're in turn filling your own soul. And this month, we're giving back to YOU with a super exciting event happening at the end of October. Tune in to learn more... ----- Looking for more She in your life?

During this month, we covered so many important topics surrounding Freedom. But what they all came back to USING YOUR VOICE to be the change you want to see in the world. And one of the best examples of that is VOTING. Voting is an opportunity to make meaningful change - an opportunity that we're so lucky to have here in America. So how are you going to use that opportunity to make an impact? Making an impact can come in so many forms… Whether it be voting, lobbying, running for office, volunteering, or just standing up for what you believe in. But what alllll those things have in common is key: Policy. The Policy Circle is a nonprofit organization that helps you take ownership of what you want to change so that you can make a real impact. And during our freedom event SheVotes, we hosted a Policy Circle of our own… So follow along with us as we dive into the topic of VOTING. The election is only 34 DAYS AWAY… so how are you going to use those days? EPISODE RESOURCES: ☑️ Make sure you're registered to vote HERE.

As women, we don't always have the freedom to walk freely on the street without the fear of something bad happening to us. What happens when you're faced with danger? Or even when you get that feeling in your gut that something isn't right? Are you overcome with a paralyzing fear? Uncertainty? Doubt in yourself and your ability to fight back? What if you replaced that fear with courage and confidence? This week's guest Rachel Mahloch (aka BattleMom) empowers women to replace that fear with courage and confidence through self-defense, breathing & visualization. But she does her work from a place of compassion through her own personal experience. She may be small (coming in at only five feet tall), but this girl is MIGHTY. Her black-belt level of mastery in martial arts may help, but what's changed her life, and the lives of the women she's taught and mentored on this journey to strong, is the theory that it only takes a small amount of technical training for women to grow both their mental and physical strength. And her diverse background... like REALLY diverse (careers spanning opera, finance & martial arts)... has allowed her to create a comprehensive self-defense training style that is uniquely her own. Our safety is a freedom and a choice that can be taken from our control in an instant, but it shouldn't be. You have the right to wear whatever you want, walk freely on the street by yourself, take a subway without feeling unsafe. That's YOUR freedom. So it's time to take it back and defend it! Are you ready, ladies? Stay tuned for an exclusive self-defense workshop with Rachel as part of our upcoming event, the SheCares Wellness Summit! More info coming next week... ----- Looking for more She in your life?

ICYMI, it's September… and that means that the election is right around the corner, girlfriend. So this month we're diving right into it with this month's theme: FREEDOM. At SheFactor, Freedom is all about finding your voice, forming an educated opinion, and staying engaged with your community and fellow citizens! It's about being the change you want to see in the world, and being involved in the political process as a voter, representative, and voice in our democracy.

When life gets tough, do you stand there paralyzed with fear? Or do you take that challenge and make it an opportunity to learn and grow? In today's episode, host Tori Ganahl gets vulnerable about some challenges life has thrown her way lately and how she's used the SheFactor methodology to embrace this new season of her life. This episode is all about those times when your life gets flipped upside down in the blink of an eye, and about being confident enough in yourself and your journey to not let it pull you off track from your goals and dreams. Today's episode was supposed to be all about the one year anniversary of The SheFactor Podcast - August 30th! But instead, Tori is getting real about how the SheFactor Method has allowed her to handle the unexpected with so much more ease and confidence than she ever thought possible. So she's going to bring it back to the basics and walk you through the six-part method that we've created, and how each part of this method can help you face whatever life has to throw at you. Buckle up, settle in, and get ready to transform your mindset, girl. ----- Looking for more She in your life?

Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Maybe you wanted to be a superstar like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera, a doctor, athlete, or maybe you wanted to be the next Elle Woods and become a lawyer (little did we know how much work it actually would be...).
