Empowered Up | Women Empowerment

I've been seeing so many instances of judging other biz women in the online space -- rather than calling people out and allowing space for a conversation, teaching, and growth, it's becoming a place of ridicule and shaming.   Not cool, fellow biz babes. Not cool.   In this episode, I dive into how to SHIFT from the shaming, to being a fucking leader already and stepping in to GUIDE.   It's one thing to call someone out. It's another to tear her down. And it's gotta stop. Especially when your platform is all about empowering others.  RebelGirlContent.com

Life is too short to be fucking scared of your soul's calling.   Welcome to the improved show, rebel girls!   Check out what I've been up to => Rebel Girl Content + Brand Story Coaching   xox, Jessie

Resistance: it's become a MOVEMENT. I get it -- I get the need and desire for shifting the paradigm. But is resistance the WAY?   I challenge this concept of resisting the thing we say we don't want -- and whether or not it's helping or causing more harm.     

Because empowerment isn't only for women. Men and boys face their own struggle: the taught concept that feeling and displaying emotion is considered a weakness. Let's flip that story. In this episode, I share with you a piece from my recent chapbook, In Her Rising (get a copy here!). This piece, A Letter to my Son, is just that: a letter to my son... about all the things I wish to tell him about being a man in this world.  

When we're going through something, it can be so easy to fall into a mindset and story about how challenging life is, the things that are lost, and whatever is taken from us.  What we forget in the midst of it is all that we're becoming BECAUSE of our circumstance. Sometimes we can't see yet all that we're gaining in the process, all the ways we are growing.  In this episode, I share one of my poetry pieces with you: The Things He Didn't Take -- to remind you that, in most cases, all that's left behind and all that begins to expand within us comes as a result of the perceived mountain in front of us.  Whatever it is you're going through -- there is another side. And a way out. And the person you're becoming is absolutely incredible.  Come hang with me!

In this episode, I introduce myself -- you're probably wondering who I am and why I've created this podcast to begin with.  I tell my story, starting at the age of fifteen when I was raped by a classmate, as well as my journey in becoming a special needs mom.  I empower because our stories are our truths. Our truth is powerful. No one knows it like we do. It's shaped us.  Our circumstances can either make us or break us -- I choose to be made. Made strong, made brave, made to grow, made to learn, made to be better, made to feel, made to experience this incredible life.
