Manage expectations, be flexible, be willing to let go of things that aren’t working. TwirlyGirl dresses are soft and comfortable with an element of fantasy. The dresses are created to be unique and wearable for every day. The dresses project fantasy, with stories attached, are produced in limited quantities, and are individually numbered like works of art. Wearing the dress is an experience. Bad things happen to all of us but the experiences don’t have to define us.   Tweetable Quotes:  “When you are in that position of risk, there are a lot of choices that you’ll make and you’d may not make if you had the luxury of time.” – Cynthia Jamin on starting a business. “It really transforms them.They become more of who they are. There is a little bit of magic in them that allows the girls to just experience something they’ve never experienced within themselves. Which is what I never had. So it kind of has been me really getting to experience a childhood that I should have had.” – Cynthia Jamin talking about TwirlyGirl dresses. “It is not sexual abuse, it is sexual seduction to a child that does not have the language to express what is happening.” – Cynthia Jamin describing her childhood trauma    Resources Mentioned: https://emilyharman.com https://www.facebook.com/Onward-Podcast https://www.instagram.com/onwardpodcast https://twitter.com/OnwardPodcast https://www.soulpajamas.com/home https://www.podcastpress.io/ Website: https://www.twirlygirlshop.com Time Machine Commercial: https://www.twirlygirlshop.com/time-machine-returns-from-past-with-present-for-future/ Million Dollar Secret Commercial: https://www.twirlygirlshop.com/million-dollar-secret-kept-inside-pickle-jar Cardboard Rocketship Commercial: https://www.twirlygirlshop.com/cardboard-rocketship-returns-from-jupiter Original Reversible Twirly Dress: https://www.twirlygirlshop.com/reversible-twirly-dress/ Cynthia’s Personal Secret: https://www.twirlygirlshop.com/giving-back/ Cynthia’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/twirlygirl TwirlyGirl Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TwirlyGirlShop TwirlyGirl Instagram: https://instagram.com/twirlygirl www.childhelp.org

The way that he approaches everything is so beautiful and so enlightened. How can you come away from that not feeling like, I'm going to try and be a better person? Effect on Emotions I think as I've gotten older,  I've learned to trust the moment more instead of trying to figure out the future or shoulder the past. I've learned to trust the moment more and being mindful really allows me to be proud of how I behave because I am taking the time to really think things through; not all the time, but at least I'm aware of what I'm doing which actually makes me feel much more confident. Thoughts on Breathing The breath really gives you inspiration and taking in that breath allows you to take a few seconds to calm the nervous system and allow you to think a little clearer. Just even taking that time and feeling your body. I would say that's the main thing that it does and just connecting myself to all that's around me too. Suggested Resources Book: The Prophet by Khalil Gibran Book: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz App: Meditation App by David Elliot See www.DavidElliot.com Advice for Newbie I think there's so many resources that you can read but I think the most important thing is about asking yourself this question: How present do you want to be in your life? How open do you want to be to the impulses and the energy around you? If you answer, "very", and "yes, I want to be present in my life", then you'll take the steps to do those things. There's so many different ways to be mindful, so it's more important to really set your intention and what your goals are for yourself and for your life.  

CYNTHIA JAMIN is a former sitcom actress who had recurring roles on Friends and Veronica's Closet as well as other NBC "Must See TV" shows. Cynthia now designs whimsical clothes for girls and the joy they bring to those who wear them helps ease the pain of her own abusive childhood. (43:09) EXPLICIT      EPISODE NOTES: Remember the "Must See TV" sitcoms of the 1990s? CYNTHIA JAMIN certainly does. She was a working actress who had roles on several NBC shows back in the network's comedy block heyday, including "Friends." In fact, as Cynthia tells me in TWIRLYGIRL she was invited to audition for one of the principal characters on "Friends" (originally called "Six of One") after series co-creator Marta Kauffman saw her perform at a small LA theater. She read for the part of Rachel. So did Jennifer Aniston. And the rest is TV history. But Marta K. really liked Cynthia and asked her to play a waitress on the pilot. After the show got picked up, she was given the recurring role of Jasmine -- Phoebe's co-worker at the massage parlor. As Cynthia says, she ended up being a "friend of a Friend." But she was also an eyewitness to the explosion of one of television's Top 10 sitcoms of all time, and saw first-hand the impact the show's meteoric rise had on the 6 mostly unknown leads. Today, Cynthia designs and manufactures fantastical clothing for young girls and tweens. But her popular TwirlyGirl line is an unexpected success story. It all started after taking a sewing class when she began making her now-signature "twirly dresses" for her 2 young daughters. Pretty soon parents were stopping Cynthia and asking her where she bought the colorful dresses with the dramatic twirl. "You made them? Can you make one for my daughter? I'll pay you!" One dress led to another and before she knew it, Cynthia had more orders than she could handle from home. So she set up shop in DTLA's garment district and now, nearly 10 years later, is proud to say that every stitch of the groovy-juvie fashion she sells is Made in America. But Cynthia's experience with TwirlyGirl has been about much more than growing a business in a highly competitive industry. It's also been a deeply personal journey of coming to terms with the darkness of her abusive childhood, stepping into the light and finding her own way to twirl.

What exactly is a Twirly Girl? Cynthia Jamin knows and she's here to tell us! Being a “twirly girl” is an appealing persona to a little girl, and Cynthia has made it a reality. With her Twirly Girl business she creates fun and exciting clothing for young girls. Her business began with her two beautiful daughters. She found her girls wanted to dress in a fun and fashionable way, and since she had some sewing experience, Cynthia was able to bring their wishes to life. From there Twirly Girl was born and has gone on to become a popular clothing brand. It's steady growth has shown Cynthia how to operate a successful business. On this episode of Launch Grow Joy we discuss how Cynthia made her business a reality, the journey she has experienced as a result, and the techniques that have helped her grow Twirly Girl into the wildly successful company it is today.

The importance of being in communication with your customers. How can you keep the momentum once you experience success? And so much more! Cynthia has discovered how much e-commerce has exploded over recent years. She remembers how confusing it was to spread the word about her dresses when she began Twirly Girl! She began with her own market (mothers), and searched for “mom bloggers” to help her get the word out about her new business. She also went to every school event she could. Cynthia began her business locally, and has made an effort to continue running Twirly Girl in Los Angeles. She says that all of her products are manufactured in the United States, even though her fabrics are produced outside of the US. She also likes the idea of keeping her batches small so she can keep an eye on how products turn out, which is one advantage of keeping her business local. Cynthia enjoys communicating with her customers directly, and tries to keep her business as personable as possible. Doing so allows her to connect with her customers and hear valuable feedback. As successful as Cynthia is she has encountered her share of setbacks while growing Twirly Girl. One of the best pieces of advice she has is to inspect your website or platform and make sure that they are big enough to take you and your business where you want to go. Cynthia offers so much valuable advice and guidance on today's show. We talk about how to create, sustain and truly love your business and what you do.

I can't get enough of stories like this.  Cynthia Jamin had an idea and a dream.  There was no design experience behind it, but she knew what she wanted to build.  So she took a class, and started from there.  She met the contacts she needed and kept taking one step in front of the other! The story behind her business is pretty incredible too, as Cynthia suffered some pretty big pain in her childhood.  Going back to the main core that girls just want to feel beautiful, she formed Twirly Girl (http://TwirlyGirlShop.com (TwirlyGirlShop.com)) as a way to create dressed that make every girl beautiful (and now women too)!

Cynthia shares her story with the hope that it will motivate others to reach out, help and share. As the web site states, "We donate a portion of every sale to this leading national non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect." And it goes on, "We have a personal reason for wanting to help children. Cynthia Jamin, designer and owner of TwirlyGirl, shares her story with the hope that it will motivate others to reach out, help and share." Cynthia has quite a story. Raised as the only child of a poor single mother, she was abused by a camp councilor at an over night camp as a little girl, starting when Cynthia was seven years old. She was assaulted by him for the next six years. (There's a three minute video about Cynthia at the bottom of the TwirlyGirl "Our Story" web page.) Anxious to speak out against child abuse, Cynthia writes she's looking forward to this opportunity. "It's great to know this radio platform is available for people. hat you are doing is fantastic for all of us - speaking and silent.
