Podcasts about empowering women

On this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm sharing a very personal reflection as I approach my 53rd birthday. For a long time, I thought success at this stage of life would mean having it all figured out. More confidence. Less pressure. More freedom. More certainty. But what I've learned is that success in midlife often looks very different than what we imagined in our 20s and 30s. In this episode, I'm talking about:   burnout and recovery the pressure of social media and constant industry noise achievement vs. fulfillment sustainability in business and life health, boundaries, and authenticity evolving instead of holding on creating freedom intentionally learning to stop trying to please everyone and what success actually means to me now at 53   This is an honest conversation about midlife, growth, and building a business and life that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.

The job market has dramatically changed — and most people are still playing by the old rules. In this episode, talent acquisition expert and senior leader, Dena Ayala, pulls back the curtain on what's actually happening on both sides of the hiring table. We talk about how AI is reshaping resumes and recruitment, why your personal story is your most underutilized asset, and how women especially can advocate for themselves with more confidence and creativity. Whether you're actively searching or simply future-proofing your career, this one is full of practical moves you can make today!What we cover:

This is your permission slip. Consider it signed, sealed, and delivered. In this luminous, laughter-filled episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar make the case — explicitly, joyfully, and without apology — that joy is not a reward you earn after the suffering is done. Joy is not a break from spiritual practice. Joy is spiritual practice. And the sooner we stop treating delight as something frivolous, the sooner we remember what we were actually made for. Drawing from shamanic wisdom, Dawn's 21 days of silent study with enlightened monks in India (who turned out to be hilariously funny), Dr. Sue Morter's teaching that a beautiful life comes down to being loving, joyful, and playful, and the healing science of laughter — this episode is part permission slip, part love letter, and part gentle revolution. They get a little righteous about it too, because they should: the conditioning that keeps women from joy is not accidental. A woman full of her own joy is not available to manage everyone else's discomfort. Which means reclaiming joy isn't just good for you — it's a radical act. Mary reminds us that our spirit guides have a sense of humor. Dawn reminds us that joy is a frequency, not a feeling — something you can cultivate and return to even on the hard days. And together they remind us that chronic seriousness is not depth. It's a stuck frequency. And joy moves stuck energy faster than just about anything else. This week's SoulFire Spark: Do one thing this week purely because it delights you. Blow bubbles. Dance in your kitchen. Call the friend who makes you snort-laugh. Watch a ridiculous movie. And when that voice shows up — the one that says you should be doing something more productive — say this out loud: My joy is my medicine. Because it is.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

You don't need a special collection. You don't need to spend a lot of money. You just need a stone, a little curiosity, and a willingness to remember something your ancestors never forgot. In this warm, grounding, and genuinely fascinating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar explore one of humanity's oldest relationships — the one between us and the living earth beneath our feet. Crystals, stones, and earth medicine aren't fringe practices or "woo-woo" novelties. They're ancient technologies that have persisted through every culture and every attempt to dismiss them, for one very simple reason: they work. Drawing from Mary's shamanic and animist worldview — in which everything, including stones, carries consciousness and frequency — and Dawn's personal practice of weaving crystals into her home, her work, and even the making of Radiant Face 18, this episode offers both the why and the how of working with earth medicine. They explore the science hiding in plain sight (your phone runs on quartz crystal — think about that), the difference between a tool and a talisman, and why placing a sacred stone on your desk isn't superstition. It's intentional design of your energetic space. It's power within. They also address the two extremes with characteristic honesty and care: the skeptic who needs proof before feeling, and the believer who thinks a crystal will fix everything. The truth, as always, lives in relationship — the willingness to simply pick up a stone, hold it with curiosity, and begin to notice. This week's SoulFire Spark: Go outside, or look around wherever you are. Find one stone — ordinary is perfectly fine — that catches your attention. Hold it. Feel it. Ask it, silently or aloud, what it has to offer you. Then notice. Carry it for a few days. Journal what shifts. You don't need to understand it fully to begin. You just need to be willing to go ancient.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com   Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

Are hot flashes really just about low estrogen? In this eye-opening episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine explores the deeper root causes behind hot flashes, night sweats, and hormone chaos during perimenopause and menopause.Many women are told that suffering through menopause is simply part of aging — but Dana explains why the body is not broken and why symptoms are often signals of deeper imbalances within the body.In this educational solo episode, Dana uncovers how adrenal stress, cortisol dysfunction, mineral imbalances, thyroid health, gut dysfunction, blood sugar instability, heavy metals, and poor estrogen clearance can all contribute to hot flashes and hormone symptoms.You'll learn why a personalized “test, don't guess” approach matters and how functional testing and thermography can help uncover hidden stress patterns and inflammation before symptoms worsen.Why hot flashes are not always caused by estrogen declineHow stress and adrenal exhaustion impact hormone productionThe connection between cortisol rhythms and night sweatsWhy gut health affects estrogen recycling and detoxificationHow thyroid function influences temperature regulationThe role of magnesium, copper, and mineral imbalancesWhy nighttime blood sugar crashes can trigger hot flashesHow heavy metals may mimic estrogen and disrupt hormonesWhy personalized testing creates better long-term outcomesHow thermography helps visualize stress and inflammation patterns in the bodyTimeline00:00 – Introduction: Hot Flashes and Misconceptions00:52 – The Body Is Not Broken: Understanding Menopause02:50 – Common Misunderstandings About Hot Flashes03:44 – Hormone Therapy and Its Limitations04:25 – Estrogen and Its Role in Hot Flashes05:33 – Adrenal Exhaustion and Hormone Production06:47 – Cortisol Rhythm and Night Sweats07:59 – Estrogen Clearance Pathways and Methylation09:16 – Gut Recycling of Estrogen10:34 – Mineral Imbalances and Thyroid Function12:16 – Magnesium and Copper's Role in Hot Flashes13:11 – Blood Sugar Fluctuations and Night Sweats13:59 – Heavy Metals and Estrogen Mimicry15:39 – The Power of Testing and Personalized Protocols15:57 – Visualizing Stress with Thermography17:55 – Empowering Women with Knowledge and Tools18:50 – Next Steps: Testing and Support19:41 – Book a Health Clarity Call and Take ActionIf you're struggling with hot flashes, night sweats, exhaustion, brain fog, or hormone chaos, know this: your body is speaking — and there are answers.At Wise Divine Women, Dana Irvine combines functional testing, thermography, nutrition, and personalized wellness strategies to help women uncover the true root causes behind their symptoms.✨ Ready to stop guessing and start understanding your body?Visit DanaIrvine.com to book your personalized Health Clarity Call and take the next step toward balanced hormones, restored energy, and empowered health. keywordsmenopause, hot flashes, hormone health, adrenal function, estrogen, cortisol, gut health, mineral analysis, thermography, personalized treatment

In this powerful episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, Karen sits down with Maty Bradbury for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, faith, boundaries, healing, and what happens when life forces you to finally be still. After experiencing two seasons of burnout and a serious car accident, Maty began to recognize that she was the common thread in the stress, pressure, over-responsibility, and constant striving she had been carrying for years. Together, Karen and Maty talk about tying your worth to production, learning to ask for help, discerning what deserves your energy, and building a real estate business that honors the season of life you are actually in. This episode is heartfelt, vulnerable, and full of reminders for any woman in real estate who has been carrying too much for too long.   Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

That voice inside your head — the one that's been with you your whole life — whose voice is it, really? In this crackle-with-electricity episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar venture into the invisible architecture that shapes everything: the stories, spells, and self-curses that were handed to us long before we were old enough to question them. And the radical, liberating truth at the heart of this conversation? Most of what you believe about yourself — what you deserve, what's possible for you, who you are — was never really yours to begin with. Drawing from shamanic wisdom, ancestral healing, and the kind of practical spiritual clarity that actually moves things, Mary and Dawn unpack what a spell really is: words repeated so many times, and absorbed so deeply, that they stop being descriptions and become declarations. You're too sensitive. Women like us don't do things like that. I'm not enough. I'm too much. Said by others first, then handed off to the inner critic to carry forward — becoming load-bearing walls in the architecture of identity. They go further, tracing how these spells travel through generational lineage, how the very calendar we live inside was designed as an instrument of power, and why some of the most binding stories we carry were never about us at all — they were just the pan that was too short for the loaf. And then, with characteristic warmth and no-nonsense shamanic wisdom, they offer a way out: a five-minute fire ceremony ritual — something your nervous system can actually feel — to name the spell, speak it aloud, release it to the elements, and plant one true sentence of a new story in its place. This week's SoulFire Spark: Write down one story that has been binding you. Speak these words out loud: "This was never mine to carry. I release it now. I choose a new story." Then burn it, bury it, dissolve it. Give it back to the earth. And write one sentence — just one — of who you actually are. Your story was never finished. It was just waiting for you to pick up the pen.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to dream? In this episode, Karen shares a heartfelt reflection on the "crazy ideas" that shaped her career — from getting into real estate after being laid off, to starting a team, building Empowering Women in Real Estate®, and expanding nationally across 22 states. Inspired by a recent conversation about the future of the real estate industry, this episode is a reminder that some of the best things in life and business begin as ideas that make no sense … until one day, they do.

Alison sits down with Dr. Phyllis Nsiah-Kumi, affectionately known as Doc Kumi, who serves as the chief women's health officer at Bespoke Concierge Medicine. Their conversation delves into the crucial topic of women's health, focusing on the unique challenges faced as women transition through midlife, particularly around the time of menopause.They begin by exploring the differences between traditional medical practices and the personalized approach offered through concierge medicine. Doc Kumi explains that concierge medicine emphasizes tailored care, allowing her to build deeper relationships with patients and cater to their individual health needs.As they delve deeper into women's health, Doc Kumi addresses the significant gaps that exist in traditional approaches to women's healthcare. The conversation highlights how common health issues are often under-researched and poorly understood, with many health studies disproportionately focusing on male subjects.Doc Kumi poignantly shares that menopause is frequently treated as a “black box,” a time shrouded in misinformation and stigma and introduces the concept of the "middle pause," a term she coined to describe not only the physiological changes that occur during this time but also the opportunity it provides women for self-reflection and reinvention.Throughout their dialogue, they touch upon the common symptoms and health concerns women face in their 40s and beyond, such as brain fog, fatigue, musculoskeletal issues, and changes in mood and sleep patterns. Doc Kumi emphasizes that these experiences are not just signs of aging but are related to hormonal changes that can be addressed.Doc Kumi also presents her "middle || pause framework," a structured approach to addressing menopausal symptoms and promoting long-term health. This framework categorizes the various concerns women may encounter into twelve essential areas, ensuring comprehensive care that extends beyond immediate symptoms to include preventive health measures. This holistic perspective prioritizes long-term well-being and aims to equip women with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their health proactively.HIGHLIGHTS:1:36 The Concept of Concierge Medicine2:31 Women's Health Overlooked3:53 Embracing the Middle Pause5:20 Addressing Common Health Concerns10:35 Navigating Health Changes in Midlife13:42 The Middle || Pause Framework19:08 Comprehensive Health Categories20:23 The Importance of Advocacy25:02 Empowering Women to Speak Upconnect with Doc KumiBespoke Concierge: https://www.bespokeconciergemd.com/providers/phyllis-nsiah-kumiDoc-Kumi: https://www.doc-kumi.comSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

What if the parts of you that you've spent a lifetime hiding are actually the doorway to your greatest power? In this tender, brave, and ultimately liberating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar venture somewhere most of us have been taught to avoid: the shadow. Not the darkness — the wholeness waiting to be integrated. Drawing from Carl Jung's foundational concept of the shadow self, Mary's shamanic wisdom, and Dr. Sue Morter's work on the protective personality, the sisters demystify what the shadow actually is — the anger we were told wasn't ladylike, the ambition we learned to shrink, the grief we swallowed, the light we dimmed because shining felt unsafe. These aren't the worst parts of us. They're the hidden parts of us, and there's a profound difference. They explore the shadow's sneaky ways of showing up — in our triggers, our projections, and in the qualities we admire or resent in others — and why the most irritating person in the room might just be holding up a mirror. They also introduce the concept of the golden shadow: the gifts we've projected onto others because we haven't yet dared to claim them in ourselves. Dawn shares a deeply vulnerable personal story of a time she used alcohol to manage emotions she couldn't yet face — and the healing that came when she finally let herself feel them. Mary reflects on her own lifelong dance with impatience, and the grace she's learned to offer herself when the shadow shows up uninvited. This week's SoulFire Spark: write a letter to one quality you've judged or hidden — and end it with four words that could change everything: I'm ready to know you. Your shadow isn't your enemy. It's the part of you that's still waiting to come home.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

What if letting go isn't a loss — but the most creative act there is? In this tender and transformative episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar explore the sacred, often misunderstood practice of releasing — the old stories, the draining relationships, the version of yourself you've quietly outgrown, the job you've stayed in too long, the wound you've carried so far it started to feel like identity. And they want you to know right from the start: this is not about pretending things didn't matter. It's not about bypassing grief or rushing your healing. Letting go is holy work. It deserves real attention — and real ceremony. Drawing from Mary's shamanic wisdom and earth-based spiritual traditions, and Dawn's deeply personal stories of releasing a beloved home, a cherished friendship, and a business identity that no longer fit, this episode offers both the why and the how of release. They explore what gets stuck in the body when we hold on too long, how nature's cycles mirror our own need to shed and renew, and why releasing the old is the very thing that creates space for the new. This week's SoulFire Spark: a Release Letter — a simple, ten-minute practice of writing to what you're ready to let go of, thanking it for what it taught you, and telling it, gently but clearly: it's time. You are always in the process of becoming. Trust the letting go. It knows the way.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

What if the skills used in hostage negotiations could completely transform the way you navigate real estate? In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, I'm joined by Marcella Oakley—real estate team leader, former SVU detective, and trained hostage negotiator turned negotiation coach. Marcella brings a perspective that most agents have never been taught … but desperately need. Because the truth is—real estate isn't just about contracts and transactions. It's about managing emotions, navigating high-stakes conversations, and guiding people through some of the most stressful moments of their lives. Inside this episode, we dive into:   Why real estate agents are actually crisis managers (and how to embrace that role) The concept of tactical (cognitive) empathy—and how it builds trust without burnout How "fighting" in negotiations often backfires (and what to do instead) The hidden cost of defensive communication between agents—and how it impacts your future deals Why trust—not pressure—is the foundation of successful negotiations How to slow down, ask better questions, and uncover the real story behind your clients' decisions The importance of having your own "team" to support you—personally and professionally Practical ways to protect your mindset and reduce stress in high-pressure situations Marcella also shares how these principles don't just improve your deals—they change how you experience your business. Less stress. More connection. Better outcomes for everyone involved. If you've ever felt the weight of difficult clients, tense negotiations, or the emotional toll of this industry … this episode will give you a completely new way to approach it. Plus, we're inviting you to go deeper—Marcella will be hosting a free live webinar for our Empowering Women in Real Estate® community, where she'll teach you exactly how to apply these techniques in your business.

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm talking about something we do not discuss nearly enough in this industry: stress and anxiety. So many women in real estate are carrying the weight of constant pressure, nonstop availability, empty pipeline fears, overloaded schedules, burnout, and the emotional toll of trying to keep it all looking fine on the outside. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. In this conversation, I'm sharing some of my own very real experiences with stress and anxiety in business and life, how it shows up for me, and a few simple strategies that help me interrupt the spiral when it starts. From gratitude and prayer to getting outside, reducing caffeine, making a list, and creating better boundaries, this episode is an honest look at what it means to care for yourself while building and sustaining your business.

You don't have to choose between being open and being protected. You can be both. In this grounding and liberating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar dive deep into one of the most misunderstood concepts in the spiritual and personal growth world: energetic boundaries. Not walls. Not armor. Not closing yourself off — but learning to tend your energy field the way a gardener tends sacred ground: pulling the weeds, watering what you want to grow, and never cementing over the soil. Drawing from Mary's shamanic and earth-based healing wisdom and Dawn's years of coaching women to build their lives and businesses from the inside out, this episode is especially for the woman who feels everything — the helper, the fixer, the empath who gives endlessly and wonders why she's always exhausted. Together, the sisters unpack what energy really means (beyond the buzzword), why sensitive women often developed their gift in the soil of trauma, and why protecting your energy isn't selfish — it's the work. They share personal stories, practical tools, and a simple but powerful practice called the Energy Audit to help you begin noticing — without judgment — where your energy flows freely and where it's being drained. You are allowed to take up space in your own energy field. All of it. It belongs to you.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

Show Notes:What if the thing standing between you and your most visible, impactful self isn't a lack of strategy — but a fear you've been calling something else?In this episode, I sit down with Melanie Borden — brand strategist, speaker, and author of Theater of the Mind — for an honest, grounding conversation about what it actually means to build a personal brand as a woman. Not the polished version. The real one.Melanie has helped hundreds of women step into their professional presence with clarity and confidence, and what she's learned might surprise you: your brand isn't something you create. It's something you uncover. It's the essence of who you already are — and the work is learning how to transfer that into everything you put out into the world.We talk about the trap of overthinking, the real reason imposter syndrome keeps showing up, and why so many women are waiting for confidence before they start showing up — when it actually works the other way around. Melanie's framework is simple but transformative: visibility builds confidence, not the other way around.Whether you're just beginning to think about your brand or you've been circling it for years, this conversation is your invitation to stop waiting and start being seen.In this episode, you'll hear:What a personal brand actually is (and why most people get it wrong)How authenticity and your "inner essence" are the core of everything you put outWhy imposter syndrome shows up so often for women — and how to start dismantling itThe small but powerful habit of collecting proof of your own achievementsWhy creating content with your audience in mind (not yourself) changes everythingWhat Melanie means when she says confidence is a result of visibility, not a requirement for itChapters00:00 Introduction to Branding and Personal Essence05:30 Navigating Vulnerability and Imposter Syndrome10:08 Theater of the Mind: Crafting Your Brand Narrative15:22 Understanding Readiness in Branding19:26 Defining Your Brand: Melanie's Perspective22:26 Empowering Women in Personal Branding25:05 Facing Fears and Taking Risks30:10 Learning from Setbacks33:07 Creating for Your Audience38:15 The Power of Visibility44:04 Transformative Impact of Personal BrandingConnect with Melanie: Website: https://humantobrand.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melanieborden/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/humantobrand/Connect with The Women On Top:Follow The Women On Top Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.  Subscribe for more empowering conversations and stories!Website: https://thewomenontop.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewomenontop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewomenontoppodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-lynn/

You are not doing this alone. You never were. In this illuminating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar pull back the veil on one of the most profound — and profoundly relieving — truths of the spiritual path: you have a whole team working with you, for you, and through you, right now. Drawing from Mary's decades of shamanic practice and Dawn's visionary wisdom, the sisters explore the rich landscape of spirit guides, power animals, ancestral guides, and spiritual allies — who they are, how they show up, and why most of us were simply never told they exist. Mary shares her own extraordinary story of meeting her spirit guide Zenith in 1982, and how that relationship has shaped everything since. But this episode goes deeper than belief — it's about discernment. How do you tell the difference between real guidance and wishful thinking? Between divine nudge and self-deception? Dawn and Mary offer grounded, practical wisdom for learning to trust what you've always, on some level, already known. If you've ever had an unexplained knowing, a dream that felt like a visitation, or a moment where you simply didn't feel alone — this episode is your invitation to stop wondering and start listening. Your soul team is already assembled. It's time to get acquainted.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

How you start your morning can shape everything that follows. In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, I'm joined by bestselling author Jennifer Dukes Lee to talk about how creating intentional morning rituals can bring more peace, purpose, and joy into your day — even in the middle of a busy life and business. Jennifer shares the inspiration behind her new book How to Love Your Morning (releasing April 7th), and why she believes mornings are not about rigid routines or waking up at 4:30 AM. Instead, they are about creating meaningful rituals that help you begin your day grounded, intentional, and connected to what matters most. We talk about the difference between a routine and a ritual, how your identity shapes the way you approach mornings, and why even a few intentional minutes at the start of the day can change your mindset and energy. Jennifer also shares wisdom from interviewing 100 women across different seasons of life about what actually helps them start their day well. In this episode, we discuss: • Why mornings are so powerful — and why they matter for busy professionals • The difference between a morning routine and a morning ritual • Why you don't have to wake up early to become a "morning person" • How morning rituals can sustain you during stressful or caregiving seasons • The surprising impact of "revenge bedtime procrastination" on your mornings • Practical ideas from women in many stages of life for starting the day with intention If your mornings often feel rushed, reactive, or chaotic, this conversation will inspire you to rethink how you begin your day — and how a few intentional moments can change everything.

What if the life you built—the one that looks successful from the outside—is quietly disconnecting you from who you really are? The title, the achievements, the “you've made it” moments… And yet—there's that voice that won't go away: this isn't all of me. Today's guest didn't ignore that voice—she followed it.  Priyanka Khandalkar started as an engineer, trained to think logically, build systems, and succeed by the rules. But she chose something bolder—walking away from the predictable to create impact, scale businesses with intention, and help women lead from a place that's not just smart… but deeply aligned. In this episode, we're talking about empowering women in a way that goes beyond strategy—into identity, courage, and the willingness to redefine success on your own terms.  So if something in your life looks “fine” … but doesn't feel fully you anymore… Then Call IT in with us!” Call IT in With Dar!” Free Gift - https://scale.synrgee.net/sop-workbookSupport the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)  Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.Grab Dar's Flight Deck Oracle Card DeckTake Dar's Archetype Quiz

Imposter syndrome doesn't always show up as "I'm not good enough." Sometimes it shows up as overworking. Overtracking. Overthinking. Comparing. Second-guessing what's already working … and then rebuilding your business (or your identity) from scratch because someone else looks like they're winning harder. In this episode, I'm joined by Dani Hampton from The Real Dani Show for an honest conversation about how imposter syndrome and comparison feed each other — and why this can be especially costly for successful, high-capacity women in real estate. We talk about:   The "inspired to insecure" switch that happens when you scroll Why imposter syndrome doesn't go away just because you've been in the business longer How comparison can derail momentum (and profitability) in a business that already works Defining what a "win" looks like in this season of life The importance of grounding routines, faith, and coming back to who you really are If you've been feeling triggered by what you see online, questioning your value, or tempted to overhaul everything… this is your reminder: you don't need a new identity. You need a clearer connection to your own. Listen now to episode 397 of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast on your favorite podcast app.
