Podcasts about female empowerment

Hey Besties! It is the fourth and final installation of Benson Bootcamp, and we're ending on a note to set you up perfectly for the month of love coming up!This week on Almost Adulting, you and Violet are diving into your divine femininity. What does this mean you ask? The divine feminine is the feminine aspect of the divine power that connects and binds the earth together. It is something we all have within us, and something that if channeled correctly, can open us up to so many things we are unknowingly evading ourselves from. While both masculine and feminine energy are present and necessary in all people, tapping into one's feminine energy can help further receptivity, openness, and vulnerability. In this episode Violet will discuss the pros of unleashing the various types of femininity and how leaning into their presence can assist you throughout your life. By the way, this is not to be confused with old school gender roles, or doing things just to attract a partner, but rather tap into an intimate side that is already within you. Enjoy the journey, Besties.Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fm Zocdoc: https://www.zocdoc.com/ADULTINGWhat to Listen For:00:00 Introduction04:14 We all have masculine and feminine energy07:48 What you want is not what you attract13:55 Be in your feminine divine energy18:44 Your dark, seductive feminine energy22:05 Your light, innocent feminine energy25:43 Trusting the process of dating26:08 Set standards and stick by them29:43 They always see your worthGet more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

264 A Practical WOTY: Practice   When we are trying to make changes in ourselves and our daily lives, sometimes it can feel like we aren't making progress despite seeing everyone else around us doing so. When we notice that we are comparing ourselves to others, it's time to take a step back and reevaluate if our changes are being made in a way that benefits and leans into our skill sets. In this episode Sarah Elkins explores the idea of Word Of The Year (WOTY) and how it's a conscious choice to learn and grow, as well as how important it is to make sure that your WOTY is honed to your skillset as you work to better yourself.    Highlights Self reflection without discipline can become a damaging internal dialogue or deflection from personal responsibility. It's okay to not be as far into your progress as other people are, sometimes you need to approach things in a way that caters to your skillset.  Find what helps you most and is most useful to your specific skill set, growth is not one size fits all.   Quotes “The realization that, yes indeed, I do have a word. That word is practice. If I'm going to do something, take on any kind of personal growth exercise, it has to be action oriented, highly practical and something I can sustain. It has to be approachable for me, within my capacity, and not something I have to fight to make work.” “Practice. The word gave me a powerful shift in how I frame the activities of my days. Practice means humility, I know I can improve in everything I do, even the things I know I do really well.”   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Interested in No Longer Virtual?

In the 3rd installation of Benson Bootcamp, Violet covers a topic that we often avoid. Why do we love difficult people? This discussion is difficult because it often forces us to look inwardly, and see what unresolved issues we have - that are allowing us to believe that allowing these people to stay in our lives is okay. But it's okay Besties, we're gonna get through it together, because we've ALL been there. This week on Almost Adulting, Violet starts off with the reasons why we likely fall for the wrong person, armed with a huge ego and a wounded inner child he never knew existed within him. That guy who gives you mixed signals and then leaves you hanging when they have their fun. While difficult people can be frustrating and draining, they also have the ability to help us become better versions of ourselves. And this is possible when we start to love ourselves a little more, see our own value, understand what we truly desire in life. Bestie, it's finally time to drop that toxic relationship, friendship, or whatever it is. Do it NOW - you will only thank yourself later.Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fm Babbel: http://www.babbel.com code: ADULTING What to Listen For:00:00 Introduction02:38 Why do we love difficult people?05:07 When we feel the lack of spark08:27 The reasons why we're attracted to the wrong person11:59 Guys with daddy issues18:56 The second boyfriend: a toxic guy25:39 I thought love had to be achieved28:00 Daddy Issues35:06 Start loving yourselfGet more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

263 Resilience Needs Community   It's only human to think we can do everything by ourselves, we want to be independent and prove to ourselves that we can power through any trial. However at some point there will come something that we can't do on our own and when we finally reach out we will find that our trials are easier to approach and handle with a community to support us. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Amberly Lago discuss how unpredictable and tumultuous life can be and how important it is to reach out to those who are there to support us and to find strength and comfort in our community, instead of trying to do everything alone.   Highlights FLOW: Frequency, Love, Optimism, Wonder. Resilience doesn't mean doing it all by yourself.  Grit and Community grows Resilience.    Quotes “I lived for so long in that fight or flight and now I want to live in flow.” “Your impact is only as big and strong as you are healthy.”    About Amberly Amberly Lago is a Peak Performance Coach, TEDx Speaker, Podcaster, and a leading expert in the field of resilience and transformation.

Hey Besties! Welcome to the second week of Benson Bootcamp, a boot camp specifically designed to help you become the best version of yourself, no matter how bad it hurts. It's called BOOTCAMP for a reason, duh!This week on Almost Adulting we're having the difficult discussion about boundary setting. Though it may be hard, these realizations will not only be long-lasting, but also help you love yourself a little more. Violet tells an in depth story about her friend who possesses the fatal victim mentality flaw. Ya know, that kind of friend who never fails to make EVERYTHING about themselves, and when you finally cut them off your life becomes inexplicably better? Yeah, that type. But that's what setting boundaries can do. It aids you in protecting your mental health, having inner peace, and taking control of your own emotions and thoughts even when you don't have control over other people's words and actions. Besties, if there's one thing you take from this please let it be that you are NEVER selfish for setting boundaries and prioritizing yourself. You are your biggest advocate and supporter, now act like it!

Hey Besties, Happy New Year! As promised, we are bringing back an exciting episode series this year. And so, the long wait is over. It's finally here - Confession Corner! Today, Violet and Kiana sit down to listen to several fan stories. To spice things up a bit, we will be hearing from sugar babies and their experiences with their sugar daddy (or daddies, for those lucky enough to have more than one). From avoiding having s*xual contact and not getting reimbursed for a Bahamas trip to a 75-year old cocaine-user grandpa and getting mind-blown through skull fucking, these stories just keeps coming!Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fm What to Listen For:00:00 Introduction01:02 Story #1: “I'm just trying it out.”06:34 Story #2: “Oh, skull fucking?”12:35 Story #3: “I didn't get reimbursed for the trip.”20:26 Story #4: “My 75-year old sugar daddy.”24:04 Story #5: “I currently have 2 sugar daddies.”Get more content on:@almostadulting on Instagram@violetbenson on Instagram@daddyissues_ on InstagramYouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Change is inevitable, however it is how we view change that can be manipulated especially when it comes to ourselves. We are all constantly evolving with our strengths and skills, whether or not that evolution is to become the best version of ourselves is entirely up to us. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Natalie Jobity discuss owning strengths and how they can shift and change over time, as well as how it is integral to seeing and appreciating every version of yourself.   Highlights What narrative do you still hold on to that someone else gave to you? You have to challenge yourself because if you become complacent and accept your limitations you will never achieve the best version of yourself. Be mindful of when people criticize you for your hardcore talents that make you good at what you do.   Quotes “All of us are multi-gifted and multifaceted, we don't have to box ourselves into “Well I can only be creative and do this” or “I can only be strategic and do that.” “And I just went headfirst, believed in myself, I just- I look back and I'm like “What?!” What gave me the gall? What gave me the confidence, the bravado, all the words to think that I can build something from nothing. Like literally from nothing, and that's what I did!”  “Looking back on my life and my careers and different things, “You have always been really savvy, you have always been ahead of things.” But I used to think of when I would explain things to people they wouldn't understand me, and I thought that's because I was stupid or I wasn't that smart or I'm not communicating well, and now I see it as because you were always ahead and they didn't know what you were thinking because they hadn't caught up yet.”   About Natalie  Natalie Jobity is a Leadership Coach, Personal Brand Strategist, Author, and Speaker. She integrates her 25 years of marketing, image consulting, entrepreneurship and coaching expertise with her strategic prowess, creative ingenuity, intuitive sensibilities and her innate ability to spot potential to help women rise to their highest leadership echelons as the “Brilliance Unveiler.” Natalie brings an authentic, customized, intuitive approach as she helps purpose-driven women unveil their brilliance, so it becomes potent, powerful, and purposeful with ripple-making effects for years to come.   Natalie is the author of Amazon best-selling Frumpy to Fabulous: Flaunting It, and her newly published leadership empowerment book, It's Your Time to Shine, Girl: Own Your Brilliance, Step into Your Influence, and Lead Like a Trailblazer. She wrote the latter to inspire women to bring their brand of brilliance to the fore so they can lead like the trailblazer, game-changer, and changemaker they are meant to be and to give them the tips, tools, and techniques needed to succeed and thrive as women of influence.

Happy New Year Besties! Welcome to another year of Almost Adulting! To kick off 2023 we're starting the month with FOUR consecutive Benson Bootcamps. These boot camps are specifically designed so you start the year off strong with help from none other than your big sister, Violet! Now are you ready for your best year yet?In today's inaugural Benson Bootcamp, we're setting the tone for this year! How are we doing that? By being DELUSIONAL. And no, not the kind of delusional that your ex-best friend was, but the kind that is going to change your life for the better. Today Violet deep dives into the mindset that she has sworn by from a young age. A mindset that she credits for all the success she's obtained thus far. By implementing teachings such as the law of assumption, frequency illusions, and being straight up delusional about the life you see for yourself, there is no one who can knock you off your pivot or deter you from the life you're creating for yourself.

My little sis, best friend & Maid of Honor is finally on the podcast! While visiting for the holidays we poured Peppermint Espresso Martini's and spilled the tea on the high's and low's during my engagement/wedding chapter.  We cover it all- from filming the proposal, to planning the most epic Bachelorette & why Court thought she ruined my wedding day. I open up about the reality of this season, overcoming family drama, if I was a bridezilla & so much more.  It's a chaotic & amazing episode filled with tons of valuable advice intertwined with hilarious stories and some steaming hot tea. Prepare to be entertained and help us welcome my favorite person to the I Am More Than Podcast, Courtney Wessel.  

J.Go shares the eight questions she's asking herself before diving into the New Year. If we jump right into this time without stopping to reflect, we can easily get stuck in repeating the same cycles and negative habit loops that have been holding us back this past year. These questions are going to help you reflect on this past year, as well as make you feel ready and encouraged to start this New Year off right!  New Year Reflection Questions: Reflection: What is your biggest challenge this past year that you grew stronger from? What are you proud of from this past year? What was a big investment you made this year and how did that impact your life? What's the best lesson you learned this past year and how will you incorporate it into the next year? Future: What do you want more of in 2023?  How will you get confidently uncomfortable this year in order to grow into your highest self? What will you be leaving behind in 2022?

Going into the new year is the perfect time to start expanding our circles and challenging our comfort zones in order to gather more amazing stories to share. In this episode Sarah Elkins ruminates on the year and how when we choose to challenge our own perceived limitations we will have more meaningful experiences that we will be able to share with friends both new and old.    Highlights Surround yourself with people who will inspire you to make new memories. Leaving your comfort zone will be worth it once you get over the initial panic. The more risks you take, the more your tolerance for risks increases and the more you will enjoy your experiences.   Quotes “If you don't take risks you have a lot fewer meaningful stories to share.” “How will you make the conscious decision to step into your Oh Sh*t Zone?”    About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

260 Little Droplets of Success   As we go through life we will notice small interactions, relationships that take time to nurture, and the importance of the small wins because these moments matter just as much as the big achievements. In time the droplets will accumulate and you will have a waterfall of success. In this episode Sarah Elkins and her guest Karla Parra, an accomplished career coach and corporate speaker, discuss the importance of these moments to our story and our personal health.   Highlights Seeing the writing on the wall and still showing up energized and enthusiastic. Discerning not dismissive of internal judgment. You need to heal before you can help others, it's on You.   Quotes “It's much easier to change when you make the choice.” “Nothing is wasted, every single opportunity is intentional, it's up to us to see that and to take those lessons and what we're learning into that next phase.”  “There's so much that we just don't see because we're in it. We're in the trees, we're in the forest, we're not seeing new ways of looking, new perspectives, new approaches, new possibilities, new solutions. Absolutely, I always say I have many coaches.”   About Karla Karla is a Latina life and career coach, corporate speaker, and full-time nomad. She's dedicated to empowering women in the workplace to push past fear, take action that serves their purpose and mission, and ultimately, build joyful careers and lives.   Karla was born in Mexico and raised in a bicultural (Mexican-American) household, which has inspired her to build, promote, and celebrate inclusive teams and leadership. Today, Karla is a frequent speaker and trainer for global teams in the areas of inclusion, innovation, and leadership development. She runs her coaching and speaking company, Vida Canvas, while traveling in an 84-square-foot camper across the United States and Mexico with her husband, Noah, and two dogs, Brisket and Lolis.

259 The Challenge Can Be Just As Fulfilling As the Goal.   To get to where we want to be, we often must endure trials and tribulations and persist through these things and our emotions towards them to achieve the goals we've dreamed of. It can be the most challenging and rewarding thing a person can do. In this episode Sarah Elkins and her guest Ahva Sadegi discuss the vital importance of staying true to one's self and one's own values in a turbulent world of change and trials, and how despite all the struggle the end goal will be worth it.   Highlights Adapting to change. Finding work that is fulfilling despite the challenges. Discipline rewards us when it matters.   Quotes “I am very, very inspired by the ability to have much discipline, because when you look at instruments and music in general you often times see the finished product, and you don't really realize that someone might have spent, like I did, maybe hours and hours practicing one measure. Over, and over, and over again until you perfect it.” “I understand the foundation and now I can put my own spin on it because I am going to express myself and be comfortable with it. So I do think it takes a lot of time to get to that point.” About Ahva  Ahva Sadeghi is a passionate social entrepreneur and co-founder of Symba, an award-winning, venture-backed, and women-founded internship platform that combines program management and data analytics tools to facilitate equitable access to jobs and wealth creation. Ahva is an economist and researcher focused on remote work and workforce development. Prior to launching Symba, Ahva worked at the US Department of State in the Human Rights Bureau and completed a civil rights fellowship with Congressman John Lewis in Atlanta. She was recently named Forbes 30 Under 30 and a Global Entrepreneur Scholar by the US Department of State.   Ahva completed her graduate studies at the London School of Economics and received her BA from the University of Arizona Honors College. In her spare time, Ahva enjoys playing the cello.   Connect with Ahva on her LinkedIn!

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.   Mentioned in this podcast Forbes Entrepreneur Distributed Teams by John O'Duinn 

Hey Besties! To continue mentor month, this week on Almost Adulting we are joined by yet another legend, Robert Greene! Robert is the author of 6 New York Times bestsellers including the infamous The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction. Together Violet and Robert go through some of the most important lessons in his iconic books and unpack the TRUE meanings behind them - regardless of any ‘bad press' they may have received. Throughout the conversation Violet and Robert drop gems about how to further your trajectory in life: from learning how to see behind the ‘mask' people put on for others, to finding your true purpose (even if that means failing). Finally, Robert speaks on what he feels is his most important lesson taught in the 48 Laws of Power, and how you can apply it to your life and reap the benefits.
