Episode Highlights [03:30] Resilience in Success  “Success does not come from continuously winning. Success comes from challenges, comes from figuring out that things aren't working exactly how you want, finding yourself getting stuck sometimes, but also, of course, celebrating those big wins” Resilience is essential to growing a successful business.  Be aware and accept the things that are holding you back.  Embrace the process and learn to bounce back and overcome adversities.  Learn to celebrate the present. This includes sitting with and showing up on the hard days.  [05:46] Your Best Self Is Your Business's Biggest Asset You are your business's lifeblood and life force. You are your business's biggest asset.  It is a must to take care of your mind, body, and spirit. By doing so, you can be your best self. Resilience is actively seeking and dismantling patterns that slow you down, creating new systems, and adjusting your mindsets accordingly.  [06:32] #1: Prioritize Your Health “You are going to get your best creativity, your best energy, and your best problem solving when you take care of your body first.” Your brain is affected by your routines, like your diet and sleep. Resilience comes from within. This is why it is crucial to prioritize your health.  It only takes 10 minutes of movement to change your day.  Take breaks to recharge! You can't be your best self if you're exhausted. [09:22] Incorporating Movement Daily  You do not need an hour-long workout to reap the benefits of your mind. A study has found that it can only take as little as 5 to 20 minutes of movement a day to get your brain working at its best.  You can use the Pomodoro Technique to create breaks during your day. Take a stroll or dance in your living room.  Think about how you plan and execute movement throughout the day. Overextending and overworking yourself can have detrimental effects.  Take breaks. Like a muscle, you can't be using your mind continuously. It needs rest too. [14:28] #2 Think of Failure as a Key to Success Challenges and failures are a part of the road to success. No one can relate to someone who's never struggled. Acknowledge problems but do not dwell on them. Show up and be solution-oriented instead.  The Scarcity vs. Abundance Paradigm: we are neither abundant nor scarce all the time. Our focus should be on finding ways to activate ourselves during scarcity.  Be mindful of your mind and body's current state. Ask yourself, "Why am I feeling scarcity?" Then pull yourself out of it.  “The more we talk to ourselves in a positive way, the more we're going to be able to flip that script a little more easily.” [19:59] #3: Embrace the Power of Regular Self-Reflection Review where you spend your time and energy regularly. Self-reflection is how you build resilience in the long term. Self-trust comes from having a more profound inner knowing of who you are. Cultivate a resilience mindset. What does your best self look like?  Reflect on your life so you can address issues you encounter.  Ask yourself, “Where do I feel stuck right now?” Then, try to find an activating step to alleviate your dilemma.  You are the energy of your business, and you want to preserve that. Don't neglect your mental health for your business! [24:40] #4: Creating an Ironclad Structure for your Business Step 1: Do not be dependent on a single channel. Instead, choose your channels and make sure they represent you well. Remember that you are creating an empire of what you do.  You do not have to have a website to start a business. But you have to have one to scale a business.  Step 2: Be inclusive in treating your email subscribers. Make them feel like they are part of an inner circle.  Step 3: Maximize your social media for brand awareness and conversion. Create a structure — an ecosystem for your business — where you allow yourself to be independent and not hold on tightly to one platform.  [31:56] #5: Celebrating Yourself and Savoring Celebrations People are always on the lookout for the next thing and very seldom in the present. We are often only present when in pain.  Celebration is about presence. It's about honoring all the work you've done.  We do not only celebrate big wins. It can be as simple as getting through a workout or getting a fantastic cup of coffee in the morning.  “All of these are wins. All of these tell us and our subconscious that we can keep winning. We can keep celebrating. We're not going to just continue to move into the next stress, the next thing we have to do.” Write down five gratitudes every single day. It gives you a better appreciation of now.  Find people you are ready to celebrate with and will make you want to continue to move.

Why We Love Leanne: Leanne Shear is a speaker, writer, consultant and female empowerment expert. It's fitting, then, that the motto for her first company was “Strong Women Uplift Each Other." That venture was Uplift,  a progressive fitness studio and female society that empowered women in all aspects of their lives. Leanne closed Uplift's doors in 2019 to focus on the bigger picture of female empowerment education.  Before conceiving the idea for Uplift, Leanne was a professional writer who’s writing has been featured in The Nation, The New York Times, New York magazine, and Glamour, among others.  Leanne graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania and received a Master’s degree in Women’s Studies and Cultural Politics from New York University. On the Pod, We Discuss: The process Leanne went through closing her previous company, Uplift Studios and the major takeaways she learned How she knew it was time to close up shop and what led her to make the decision (and the wild manifestation that happened next) The power of reframing rough situations as learning experiences and opportunities Leanne’s current focus and the work she is doing around female empowerment Why female empowerment is so critical and why it’s so needed right now The myth that women are always out to tear each other down and why strength in numbers is important for amplifying this message Personal stories about money and the process of busting through old beliefs Sharing our stories with a purpose and intention, as it relates to vulnerability Leanne’s 9 pillars of female empowerment: the internal work, the external work and altruism How to develop a growth mindset and how it builds self-awareness The link between vulnerability and confidence and why feedback matters The negativity bias and why we’re all primed to focus on negative thoughts (plus Leanne’s trick for replacing it with a positive thought) Affirmations & visualization: why the can be game-changers What to look for in a community that can help empower you And so much more Helpful Links: Visit Leanne's website Follow Leanne on Instagram Our first pod interview with Leanne (episode 12) Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo Mindset by Carol Dweck The Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley  Rage Becomes Her by Soraya Chemaly Resilient by Rick Hanson The Confidence Code by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman Wishes Fulfilled by Wayne Dyer Melinda Gate’s announcement to pledge $1 billion to fund specific initiatives with the goal of reaching full gender equality

Today’s guest is a dear friend of mine, Leanne Shear. I have such admiration for Leanne—she kinda seems to be awesome at whatever she does. She’s written two books, run a 3:29 marathon and, oh yeah, runs a badass fitness studio, Uplift Studios. We talk about the realities of building a business and staying strong through adversity, female empowerment, running, writing and more.

Why We Love Leanne: Leanne Shear is the co-founder of Uplift, a progressive fitness studio and female society that offers group classes, personal training and a multitude of events outside of fitness related to career, relationships, finances, and well-being (panels, retreats, workshops) that empower women in all aspects of their lives. Before conceiving the idea for Uplift, Leanne was a professional writer: she is the author of The Perfect Manhattan and Cocktail Therapy: The Perfect Prescription for Life’s Many Crises, and her writing has also been featured in The Nation, The New York Times, New York, and Glamour, among others. Leanne graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania and received a Master’s degree in Women’s Studies and Cultural Politics from New York University. On the Pod, We Discuss: Her different why behind fitness and how being strong physically translates to empowerment in all facets of life. Leanne’s career trajectory from professional writer to where she is now. Why sometimes the next step is just to take the next step and not be afraid. How she shifts her negative thoughts into positive ones. Her mixed feelings on Masters Degrees and why she believes there are easier better ways to get out there and do what we want. Why taking the baby steps is the best way to start, and why mitigating the noise in your own head is the most important. Confidence comes from taking action not from thinking. How she built Uplift into something much bigger than a boutique fitness studio. Why overcoming limiting beliefs is crucial if you want to succeed in life. Uplifts retreats and what’s coming up this year. Why making friends as an adult can be so hard and how a place like Uplift or retreats are a great way to make friends and make connections around stuff you’re into. What’s on the horizon for Leanne.

First, we talk all about our walking challenge! To combat the sitting is the new smoking research evidence, we are walking an extra 30 minutes every day. Join us!! Check out the Strong Women's Club Facebook Group for details. UPLIFT Studios in NYC is THE place to go for female empowerment, both physical and mental empowerment. UPLIFT was founded by Leanne Shear, when she started training women to run marathons as a side gig, while she was a full-time writer. A story was then written about Leanne, and the rest is history! In our conversation we talk about all aspects of a fitness business, plus their female society, and some of the struggles along the way. Leanne did a friends and family round of funding, invested in a property, had partners and a few hiccups, but is super-successful, looking for new locations and expansion possibilities.
