Today's episode marks an exciting milestone: it's the official launch of our year-long partnership with flaconi, Germany's leading online retailer for beauty and perfume. Flaconi stands for more than just beauty products, it's a brand that celebrates diversity, mental well-being, empowerment, and culture. Values that align deeply with what we do here at WAA. And to celebrate this moment, we've planned this special edition of the show.Alexandra Szarmach is flaconi's CHRO and Managing Director. With a background that spans sales and HR at global giants like Sephora, Alexandra brings both business savvy and a deep, human-centered leadership style. She opened up about what it means to lead through values, to support mental health in the workplace in tangible ways, and how she is creating inclusive space for women to rise across industries.This conversation goes beyond titles. It's about real leadership, the messy parts of growth, and the strength it takes to build inclusive, thriving cultures.Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Join myself, Tara Preston, and  Colleen M. Coyne, Womb Awakening Guide and High Ticket Affiliate Marketer, as we discuss the new emerging economy and a business model that's built for a sustainable feminine freedom.Discover a revolutionary approach to building wealth that honors your feminine nature, creates genuine time freedom, and builds sustainable prosperity without the burnout.What if there were a business model designed specifically for visionary women that provided automation, community support, and long-term financial security while honoring your cyclical rhythms? Both of us share our journeys from successful but depleting business models to discovering a system that truly embodies sustainable feminine prosperity. Though we built spacious businesses with time off and six-figure incomes, something was missing—true leverage that would build lasting wealth rather than requiring constant launches and creation. This revelation led us to a business model that provides everything women entrepreneurs need: world-class mentorship, cutting-edge platforms, supportive community, and high-ticket offers with multiple wealth-building pathways.This conversation speaks directly to conscious mothers seeking freedom, visionary feminine leaders craving community, and women in midlife desiring businesses that honor their changing bodies and energy. With only 3% global market saturation, this opportunity represents not just a business model but participation in building a new, resilient economy centered around feminine wisdom and collaboration.Ready to explore sustainable feminine wealth that aligns with your values and creates genuine time freedom?

There's a phenomenon I call the “Soul Flow Effect” where it feels like everything comes together so smoothly – you go on vacation then get paid, you take a weekend off, then a client sign up for your program. A lot of people think this happens randomly, or that it should always feel “easy” or “flowy”. Uh, BIG NOPE! That assumption is why you can do all the meditation, pull all the cards, and write all the journaling and still not find yourself in “flow”.     Listen in as I talk about: ✔️My BIG initiation into a new Era of business ✔️How to call in Magic, Money, and Miracles in life and business ✔️Why being in Soul Flow is NOT about being easy ✔️How to use this retrograde season to be in Soul Flow     _________________________     Ways to work with me: HABITAT: Grow a wildly sustainable business that feels like home: https://soulflow.co/habitat Other ways to work with me: http://soulflow.co/offerings Connect with me Instagram @soulflowco Visit my website: https://soulflow.co  Free but EPIC Resources Kickstart your business.

I'm joined by Maria von Scheel-Plessen, who traveled all the way from Munich to meet me at Fotografiska's cozy Bar Clara—bringing luxury straight to the show. As a senior marketing leader for a top luxury brand, Maria is a powerhouse in her field, blending strategy, tech, and business. But her path wasn't conventional. Instead of stepping into her family's 300-year-old legacy, she carved her own path—moving across the world, taking bold risks, and redefining what leadership looks like.In this episode, we get real about the highs and lows of leading—navigating self-doubt, setting boundaries, and making big career moves. Maria also shares insights on the future of luxury, from shifting consumer habits to why personalization is everything. And of course, we talk about the power of trusting yourself—because sometimes, the best strategy isn't just knowing the market, it's knowing you.Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Brett Gilliland speaks to Elizabeth Connelly and Katie Martin, both strong female figures within Visionary Wealth Advisors.

Katie shares her experiences in her position and how she aims to encourage women to take control of their financial futures. Both professionals have learned to balance a home and work life and found themselves successful. This episode is incredibly insightful for women and other professionals seeking a career in a male-dominated industry.    https://youtu.be/fhG4ILGs1QU Brett Gilliland: So we're live here ladies. So we are, uh, we'll let some people join here for a little bit and, uh, before we get started, um, but we're excited today to celebrate Women's History Month. Here at Visionary Wealth Advisors and I've got two, uh, distinguished guests. Katie Martin is with me, and also Elizabeth Connolly is with me. So we're excited to, uh, spend some time today and get to know them and their careers and, uh, how blessed we are to get to work with them every day. So, again, I will wait just a little bit longer to make sure we are live in kicking. It's 11 o'clock and, um, also going over to YouTube to check that. Um, right now. So, um, we are here. Okay. We're live on, at least on, on YouTube, so, so that's good. So we'll exit out of there and then, uh, go over here to LinkedIn and uh, make sure we are live there, which it looks like we are. So, uh, yes, we are live. So. Alright. Great stuff. Well, I wanna get started. So again, I have, uh, Katie Martin with me. Katie Martin is a Chartered financial analyst, A C F P, certified Financial Planner. We have Elizabeth Connelly with us who is a JD, a certified trust specialist, and a certified IRA specialist with two distinguished careers, uh, that you all have. And we get the fortune of working with you two every single day here at Visionary. So if you could, these are always big open questions I know, but I'd like to start with you, uh, Katie, if we can, and just share a little bit about your career story. And, uh, what's made you, the woman you are today?  Katie Martin: Sure. So I started in a rotational program at an investment firm right outta college. And at the end of that time I moved into our investment research area. So, um, I started as an associate analyst doing some, helping out, some equity analyst. And then in 2005 transitioned into a new area, which was our manager research area. So it was exciting to be the third person on that team and then help to play a role in growing that team from three to over 30, um, over the course of the next 10 to 15 years. So it was, um, It was a great opportunity to take on increasing responsibility over time. Um, you know, eventually I be, uh, was responsible for leading a team of analysts and then also leading some cross-divisional projects at the firm. So I did that for about 17 years and then reached a point, um, in my career where I decided it was time to ch make a change and look, to pivot to a role that was more autonomous and flexible. But most importantly was one where I had, um, wanted to feel like I was making more of a difference to, um, to an individual and working with individual clients. So that's how I found Visionary. And I've been a wealth management advisor at Visionary since October of 2019.  Brett Gilliland: Awesome. Great. Well, thanks for sharing that story. And, uh, Elizabeth, how about you?  Elizabeth Connelly: So a little, I'll go back a little farther than Katie did, uh, when I was little. I played like a lawyer.
