Today, her focus is on conscious leadership and helping women through their growth and development journeys. Ryann's mission is to create a space for women to come together and experience a sense of empowerment - and belonging - they've never experienced before.

In This Episode:

Ryann shares her personal journey of reinventing herself and the creation of Be in the Room
Why she could not go back to just teaching sales anymore 
Opportunities that came her way when she shifted from using her masculine energy to trusting her intuition
The importance of conscious leadership
The change in corporate America
Why creating a community for women create a safe space for them to thrive
The importance of building meaningful and impactful relationships

Ryann Dowdy did everything RIGHT in life. She had her dream job, a 6+ figure salary, married, kids, and a nice home... and still woke up one day feeling completely unfulfilled. She knew something wasn’t right.

She realized it was because she was chasing a dream that wasn’t hers. As an expert in sales, she created a Facebook community of over 7,000 women looking to follow their dreams of starting a profitable business. Women began joining her sales training program not only for the incredible knowledge and results Ryann brought to the table but also for the amazing community of empowered women

Ryann sought to create. As she found more success on her journey, Ryann realized she still felt alone and misunderstood by her peers. That’s when she realized SHE herself did not have a community to come as the truest version of herself. Today, Ryann’s mission is to create a safe space for every woman who has ever been told she’s too much, too picky, too loud, too ANYTHING

In this episode Natalie shares:

Her rags to riches story of how she started and built a Luxury for Less Fashion Brand
Wisdom on building brand working with influencers
How spirit wisdom guided her to take a blind leap of faith to move to the US from S. Africa
How she scaled her company when she moved into a market the size of the US, compared to the S. African market
The importance of peace in our life

Natalie Mills is a leading ladies fashion, jewelry and accessory brand – styling women globally with a “Luxury for Less” concept. Originally from South Africa, Natalie immigrated to the United States and knows what it means to create the American Dream— from selling her handmade jewelry to neighbors at 8 years old to being named a best-selling product for 2020 on NBC. She has sold products on HSN, been awarded the Einstein Greencard Award (an achievement only given to the top 1% globally for her business mind!) and is recognized as a trendsetter and style leader in fashion with her signature “Bling” designs. She has dressed celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Lizzo, Saweetie and more. As a child from humble beginnings, she always had a passion for bling. The “Bling Queen” couldn’t afford expensive jewelry and the pieces she could afford would just break apart, so she created quality jewelry that wouldn’t break the bank. Their mission is to offer affordable glamour, sophistication and style while giving back to those less fortunate.

In This Episode:

Dana shares her one message for the world
The different career opportunities in STEM many people have not considered
The story behind how Dana entered the world of electrical engineering
Insight into Dana's work on the first classified spaceship mission
Dana shares the story of when she went to work for a startup aircraft manufacturer, where she designed and built an aircraft from scratch
Diving deep into personal memories of the transformation she encountered about being released from a career after thirty years
The realization that she had completely given herself over to her career
The importance of not defining your whole self-worth by your career
Dana shares the status of women in aerospace and aviation at the leadership level
A sneak peek into her book that will be released soon

Dana Kirchmar has 35 years’ experience in the aerospace/aviation and telecom industries in both domestic and global companies, from entrepreneurial start-ups to Fortune 100 corporations.  Career highlights include participating on the launch team in mission control for the first classified space shuttle launch, calling “go/no go” for her specific system, flying to .97Mach in a corporate business jet during an autopilot flight test, and being on the headphones with test pilot for the first flight of a brand new aircraft that she helped to design.
30 years into a successful STEM career, Dana found herself unemployed and lost – questioning everything that she had believed about herself and not having the slightest idea who she was without her job to define her.  She realized that it was time to take a look at how she had gotten to this place and what she had given up while focusing on climbing the career ladder in a male-dominated and not particularly female-friendly occupation.  Dana is now channeling the lessons that she learned to enable young women to not only have wildly successful STEM careers but to not lose sight of their passions and to live the lives that they dream of.
Ms. Kirchmar serves on the Board of Directors of the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, noted as one of the top 10 aviation and space museums in the U.S and top 20 globally, as well as the Board of Directors of the Captain Jeppesen Foundation, the primary focus of which is providing flight scholarships to aspiring aviators.  Additionally, Ms. Kirchmar serves on the Colorado State University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Industry Advisory Board and is active in supporting multiple organizations facilitating the progress of girls and women in STEM/STEAM education and careers.

Ms. Kirchmar serves on the Board of Directors of the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, noted as one of the top 10 aviation and space museums in the U.S and top 20 globally, as well as the Board of Directors of the Captain Jeppesen Foundation, the primary focus of which is providing flight scholarships to aspiring aviators.  Additionally, Ms. Kirchmar serves on the Colorado State University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Industry Advisory Board and is active in supporting multiple organizations facilitating the progress of girls and women in STEM/STEAM education and careers.



"My career defined everything about me, and I do not want other young women to have that same thing happen to them thirty years into their career." -Dana Kirchmar

Georgann shares her journey of finding her inner light; the pathway she took to get to know and accept herself genuinely
How turning off noise and distractions can help you show up more present
 Why having a good sense of humor matters and allows us to dance through the struggles of life
 Tips on finding your own inner light
 The importance of showing up for yourself
Why meditation matters and how this practice allows us to be more in tune with ourselves and the world around us
Georgann's take on contemplative mysticism

Georgann Low's been on the planet long enough to tell you that life only gets better as you get older. She was born and grew up (more or less) in Golden, Colorado, a tiny town surrounded by foothills. There Georgann dreamed, talked to stars, and danced around the town. Early on, she got the reputation of being wild and (mostly) lovable and funny. Her memoirs, DANCING ALONE and RESURRECTING BUNNY, are, of course, about her experiences after she left the joy and comfort of childhood and launched herself into the "real" world. Georgann's life got crazier and crazier and darker and darker as she got further and further from herself.
At 28, she discovered meditation in Santa Fe, NM, and immediately began her spiritual journey home. The birth of her first child saved her from uninterrupted self-absorption. He and his brother and sister have been her teachers and her salvation. Meditation was difficult with all the hollering in her house, and Georgann longed for a day when she could be quiet. So when her kids grew up (more or less), she left her marriage and moved part-time to southern France, where she bought a tiny, stone farmhouse high on a hill. There she created a garden and learned to speak with her neighbors (and some birds!) Georgann would say it was blissful, but it was lonely. She danced alone, created art purely for its joy, and sang in nightclubs with some French musicians; but mostly hung out with herself reading Thomas Merton and meditating deeply. It took a while, but she began to embrace her solitude.
Georgann now lives alone in a cottage with a lovely garden near the town where she grew up and next to three of her five grandchildren. Blissful - but not without the ongoing struggles with her shadow self. Even so, Georgann's back to that joy of being she had as a child. Georgann has discovered she is a being of light. We all are. As her 99-yr-old spiritual companion says, "All we have to do is remember."
"We need to be present in this world at this time. We can't deny what's going on, we can't dwell on it, and we can't just lose ourselves in the news." –Georgann Low
To learn more about Georgann and her work, check out her website or books Dancing Alone and RESURRECTING BUNNY: A Wild Child's Pilgrimage. You can also connect with her on Facebook, Instagram, or listen to her music on iTunes.

How a gift Tricia received as a child shaped her life forever and led her to build a business that makes people feel truly seen in the light of who they are
How great brand photography helps you build a strong brand and a successful business
Why setting up the “boring” part of your business tastes like freedom
Tricia’s secret sauce to marketing that gets you raving fans and makes your business soar
Building your calendar in a way that allows you to show up fully and joyfully

Tricia was just 5 years old when she received a 126 Kodak Instamatic film camera as a gift from her aunt and uncle. Although she was young, this mature gift suited her just right. A childhood trip to Washington D.C. was her photography debut. Tricia was snapping pictures all over the United States Capitol: Washington monument, snap! Lincoln memorial, snap! Once the images were developed, much to her parents surprise she was dang good at it and had a natural ability for what was later to become her life’s passion.
Tricia’s mission is to listen, hear and truly see you. To be able to capture your radiance, essence, and elevate your image through the lens of her camera. Tricia has spent almost 30 years with all types of people capturing their personal history and branding their business. The difference you will feel when you work with her is that you will feel seen, acknowledged, and heard. It is her promise to you!
As a kid, Tricia didn’t really feel seen or understood, and never felt that she fit in. Since discovering photography, capturing your precious moments has become her obsession. Tricia’s number one goal is to know and understand what matters to you so that the camera can capture your true essence. Allowing you to be relaxed, get comfortable and be who you really are is her deepest desire. That is how the magic happens!

Bohnenkamp interviewing me on the insights into our world and the view of 2022.
In this interview I shares:

In the midst of the chaos, the craziness and the seemingly unending uncertainty of 2021, Kami looks back at the greatest and boldest move she ever made this year. (no, it's not as active or aggressive as you might expect)
Kami talks about the resistance of going into a screeching halt and eventually picking up a slower pace not because that's what the audience wants, but because it's what the business needs.
She shares the biggest act of compassion she made and how love and understanding can mend relationships better than pride.
Kami enumerates the statistical level of success her clients have which are all accomplished at the height of global lockdowns.
A lesson in grief and love that is very timely in today's world of sickness and loss.
Listen as Kami bares her soul and have fun being vulnerable as she answers rapid fire questions!
Be enlightened and feel the hope in Kami's aspiration for 2022.

Kami Guildner believes women’s voices matter. She is a connector. A storyteller. A business coach for women.
Kami’s entrepreneurial journey was sparked by the breath of a horse over a decade ago. This magical epiphany moment led Kami to discover her purpose of leading changemaker women to give voice to their most important messages and create a ripple effect of worldly impact.
Kami weaves soulful inspiration into mindful business strategies, helping her clients up-level their business. With decades of leadership, marketing, strategic planning, and business growth expertise, Kami guides her clients to master their marketing, money and mindset. Kami’s soulful spirit leads her clients to unleash their magical manifestation powers and live out loud fueled with vitality and courage.
She is the founder of Extraordinary Women Radio™ – a podcast featuring wildly successful women making an impact on the world. Named Best Business Podcast in the 2018 People’s Choice Awards, Kami has featured guests such as SARK, Zainab Salbi, Beth Comstock, and Lissa Rankin.

Sandy Corrigan Show Notes]]>2647falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/sophie-mclean-creating-a-new-culture-for-humankind-with-the-elegance-of-simplicity-episode-229--47952544To describe Sophie McLean’s life as “eventful” would be quite an understatement. She’s been a helicopter pilot, a teacher, a designer, a relief worker, a war refugee, a CEO, and a UN Representative; she’s been shot at, shipwrecked, and widowed. As a wisdom teacher, Sophie has spent decades leading transformational seminars to over 80,000 people globally, examining the human network of ideas, beliefs, consciousness, and ego. She would love to help your listeners lead themselves to personal revelations and become one with life.
Her stories will delight your senses, and her wisdom will touch your soul. What a beautiful gift she extends to us as we near the end of our year.
In this interview Sophie shares:

The massive, massive, massive download she received at 12 (which she dubs as an undeserved gift) that led her through life’s deepest and darkest moments of despair.
At 60 years old, she looks back at the unfortunate tragedies that she experienced which made her contemplate about suicide. 
Listen to the many wonders Sophie saw and experienced when she decided to pack her bags, travel the world and let life take her. 
Circling back to the 12-year old Sophie and how the wisdom she learned before became her guide now. 
Learn how education became Sophie's bridge between her spiritual alignment and the world. 
Unravel the inner self and step into spiritual alignment with Sophie's 10-session course. 
Sophie shares her vision for the new humanity that is about to unfold. 

Born in Algeria, educated in Morocco and France, and with a professional career in the USA and UK, Sophie McLean has had an eventful life. She’s been a helicopter pilot, a teacher, a designer, a relief worker, a war refugee, and a CEO. She’s been shot at, shipwrecked, and widowed. She’s lived on a farm, a boat, a penthouse, and an ashram. As a wisdom teacher, Sophie has spent decades leading transformational seminars to over 80,000 people around the world, of all ethnicities, ages, religions and social backgrounds – all engaged with the universal existential questions of “Who am I?” and “What is my life about?”
Now after seven years in France, Sophie McLean is in New York to begin Act III of her life – speaking, consulting, writing and teaching courses and online seminars within the framework of Access to Awareness. Her seminar topics span both human and metaphysical dimensions – deconstructing the automatic ego, consciousness, freedom, love, stress, anxiety, fear, relationships, health, sex, money, ownership, spirituality, creation and evolution, the feminine and the masculine, being responsible, and making a difference in the world – and being effective at it.
Of her transformational teaching style, Sophie says “I engage people in a rigorous review of their life and a systematic questioning of their conclusions on the basis that without examining our network of ideas, beliefs, social and cultural judgments, and our assumptions about the world, those are transformed into constraints. My interest is in the nature of what it means to be human.”
Sophie’s new book The Elegance of Simplicity is a compelling, thought-provoking work of autobiographical fiction, one that communicates life-altering concepts proposing an effortless pathway to awareness. It’s a deeply honest and dramatic story of self-discovery, about what is possible when you take responsibility, own your power, and become one with life. Sophie McLean epitomizes elegance. She also epitomizes worldly experience, grit, courage, and insight leading to revelation and transformation.

The “bad apple” that ultimately made her experience the downhills of disconnecting with one’s authentic stories and brought her business to the point of bankruptcy.
She discusses how she can relate with Michael Michalowicz’s “Profit First” and how she utilized the same concepts to revive her business and pull it out of the brink of debt.
The Universe’s rainy connection to her life and her healing process empowered her voice and help more people who might be going through tough times because of deceit and fraud.

Her two most recent are The Heart of Authentic Selling and Sell Without Selling Your Soul. 
In this episode:

Liz shares how her unconventional yet authentic method led to a revolutionary discovery of her passion with sales.
It’s out with the old and in with the new: dissing out the sale-sy approach and building relationships with the new, smart and savvy consumer that results in more success.
She sheds light as to why some individuals dislike sales and how understanding your personal approach and embracing your soul makes selling more fulfilling.
The impact of looking into one’s self, listening to bodily cues, admitting mistakes and finally taking corrective measures to be a better salesperson.
Liz defines what “selling from the soul” means and how certain openings already determine what will happen in the closing.

Liz is driven by the mantra, It's not WHAT you sell, it's HOW you sell that matters. Liz understands the sales challenges that professionals face when selling in today's competitive environment and shows them how to make a profound difference in their sales approach, language, and process —online and offline.
Whether it's for her one-on-one consulting, group coaching, multiple-day training, or workshops, Liz will customize programs around the specific needs, challenges, and objectives a business is facing.
Liz has coached thousands of professionals to build solid business skills, develop a success mindset, exceed their sales expectations, and prosper in any economy.
“Nobody wants to do business with a servant. They want to do business with a woman who’s aligned and confident and strong and compelling.

I love story telling! It’s how people connect with us and get to know us! Story telling is such an intricate part of this podcast and the work I do with my clients - helping them raise up their voice and visibility - from the stage, on podcasts and on social media. It makes us real.

And so when I had the opportunity to meet Shelley Goldstein, who is gamifying story telling. I said – oh we must meet! And we had a great time jamming on the power of story!

Shelley cut her branding teeth designing costumes on Broadway in New York City. She used clothing as a tool for storytelling to connect the character and the audience. Like a well-defined character, today Shelley uses games and a matrix as tools to help clients better communicate to their audience.

She is the founder of bigIDEA, a branding and marketing consultancy. She created the bigIDEA Branding Matrix, an all-in-one framework for messaging, in 2010. Her client roster spans environmental, fashion, sports, hospitality, and entertainment industries.

Laurina Esposito Show Notes]]>2011falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/sherry-hess-founder-of-the-flavor-remedy-saving-the-earth-one-flavor-at-a-time-episode-202--45149602Sherry believes that one taste bud at a time, we can save our health and the health of the planet. When we are aware of our bodies and the flavors we consume, we can eat with zero guilt and complete pleasure in a way that supports our bodies. Flavor is meant to be celebrated, appreciated, and understood as the most primal language we use to nourish our mind, body, and spirit.
In this Episode:

Sherry enthusiastically explains the concept behind the Flavor Remedy and how it embodies the thought of life creating life.
She digs deep into her life experience and how it inspired her that she can combine nutrition with Earth’s exciting flavors.
Sherry explains how years of agricultural changes led to nutritional and taste impacts as a trade-off for greater yield.
The many flavor experiences, its distinctions, and the amazing nutrition embodied in it.
Sherry highlights how the connection between living flavors and nutritious-filled eating impacts the Earth in a sustainable manner.
Sherry shares her beliefs regarding diet culture and flavorful yet nutritious consumption of healthy foods.
She discusses the overwhelming yet satisfying journey of advocating for a healthier, more organic, and life-filled Earth.

As an advocate for our sense of taste, Sherry is here to stand up for flavor, to shine a light on the imposters who pretend to be nutritious, and to educate you about why it’s important to pay attention to the five flavors your senses were born to experience: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami. It’s time to take back pleasure in eating and to do it in a way that supports your body. By understanding the nutrition that flavors represent, you can embrace your desire for delicious food rather than resist it. By embracing the flavors and balancing them on your plate, you can also balance the nutrition you consume.
The most rewarding part of Sherry’s work is that she gets to create a direct connection between the health of the planet to the pleasure of the human experience of eating. By practicing delicious environmentalism, we get to connect the wisdom of nutritious soils to a pleasurable experience for humanity.  Through our senses, we can truly save the Earth one flavor at a time.

Sherry Hess Show Notes]]>https://www.kamiguildner.com/?p=30546Thu, 03 Jun 2021 12:04:44 +0000BizTalkRadioToday on Extraordinary Women Radio, I am thrilled to introduce you to my extraordinary client, Sherry Hess - Founder of the Flavor Remedy, Saving the Earth One Flavor at a Time. Sherry is the Founder of The Flavor Remedy and the host of her show Let’s...Sherry believes that one taste bud at a time, we can save our health and the health of the planet. When we are aware of our bodies and the flavors we consume, we can eat with zero guilt and complete pleasure in a way that supports our bodies. Flavor is meant to be celebrated, appreciated, and understood as the most primal language we use to nourish our mind, body, and spirit.
In this Episode:

Sherry enthusiastically explains the concept behind the Flavor Remedy and how it embodies the thought of life creating life.
She digs deep into her life experience and how it inspired her that she can combine nutrition with Earth’s exciting flavors.
Sherry explains how years of agricultural changes led to nutritional and taste impacts as a trade-off for greater yield.
The many flavor experiences, its distinctions, and the amazing nutrition embodied in it.
Sherry highlights how the connection between living flavors and nutritious-filled eating impacts the Earth in a sustainable manner.
Sherry shares her beliefs regarding diet culture and flavorful yet nutritious consumption of healthy foods.
She discusses the overwhelming yet satisfying journey of advocating for a healthier, more organic, and life-filled Earth.

As an advocate for our sense of taste, Sherry is here to stand up for flavor, to shine a light on the imposters who pretend to be nutritious, and to educate you about why it’s important to pay attention to the five flavors your senses were born to experience: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami. It’s time to take back pleasure in eating and to do it in a way that supports your body. By understanding the nutrition that flavors represent, you can embrace your desire for delicious food rather than resist it. By embracing the flavors and balancing them on your plate, you can also balance the nutrition you consume.
The most rewarding part of Sherry’s work is that she gets to create a direct connection between the health of the planet to the pleasure of the human experience of eating. By practicing delicious environmentalism, we get to connect the wisdom of nutritious soils to a pleasurable experience for humanity.  Through our senses, we can truly save the Earth one flavor at a time.
Sherry will be gracing the TedX Breckenridge stage in her passion on October 2, 2021!

There was a time in my career, where I had as many as 90 people reporting into me - directly or indirectly. I have always loved teams. Today, however, I have appreciated the simplicity of growing my business with collaborative partners - rather than the complexity of an employee base.

No doubt we can't do this alone - AND - I love the freedom that comes in my business to maneuver with the right partners that fit into my model at the right time.

Elaine's book was recommended to me when I declared to my own coach that I wanted a high earning, high ROI business with a simple infrastructure.

I loved her book. It was so much fun to meet her and hear what she learned after interviewing 30 business owners who had built one million dollar businesses without the complexity of employees. Mind you, this doesn't mean you do it alone -  it means working in partnership with all the right people in your business to serve and do the work you're called to do!

What sparked Elaine to write the book One Million-Dollar, One-Person Business
What types of business are a good fit for this model (and we dig specifically into the  service oriented content creator, coaches and consultants because there are so many of you in my community who are in this sector).
What makes a million dollar-one person business work and the factors enabling entrepreneurs to build an ultra-lean business
The behind the scenes and collaboration happening beyond the “Seven-Figure, One-Person Business”
A teaser on her new book Tiny Business, Big Money, which will address the next level business over one million and with employees

From Elaine's book: "According to recent statistics released by the US Census Bureau, in 2015 there were 35,584 “nonemployer” firms—that is, those that do not employ anyone other than the owners—that brought in $ 1 million to $ 2,499,999 in annual revenue. That’s up 5.8% from 2014, 18% from 2013, 21% from 2012 and 33% from 2011. Some elite nonemployer businesses are even exceeding these revenues. In 2015, 2,090 businesses had annual receipts of $ 2.5 million to $ 4.99 million, and 355 businesses brought in $ 5 million or more.”

She is a regular contributor to Fortune, Money, CNBC and, Forbes – and is the author of the book The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business, where she looks at how entrepreneurs are scaling to $1 million in revenue prior to hiring employees. As a senior editor at Fortune Small Business magazine, she was twice nominated for the National Magazine Award for her feature stories.

There was a time in my career, where I had as many as 90 people reporting into me - directly or indirectly. I have always loved teams. Today, however, I have appreciated the simplicity of growing my business with collaborative partners - rather than the complexity of an employee base.

No doubt we can't do this alone - AND - I love the freedom that comes in my business to maneuver with the right partners that fit into my model at the right time.

Elaine's book was recommended to me when I declared to my own coach that I wanted a high earning, high ROI business with a simple infrastructure.

I loved her book. It was so much fun to meet her and hear what she learned after interviewing 30 business owners who had built one million dollar businesses without the complexity of employees. Mind you, this doesn't mean you do it alone -  it means working in partnership with all the right people in your business to serve and do the work you're called to do!

However, in the midst of the happenings at our nation’s capital yesterday, I could not in good conscience release this episode – which I feel is still relevant as we step into 2021, without first recording a new intro to reflect on what happened in our country yesterday.

So you will get two parts. The first six minutes, I will warn you: I get political. This is not a political podcast. But today, as a woman in America, I could not leave this unsaid. We have big problems to solve in our nation and the only way we can do this is together. Today I have to take a stance and give voice to my sadness, my anger and my disgust for what happened in Washington DC yesterday - for what has happened in our nation in the past four years.

The second part of this episode, I move into a solo episode of  my own reflection on 2020, and how we as women and entrepreneurs can step up and lead in 2021. It's time.

In this Episode:

Tune back how 2020 is filled with wisdom, gifts, growth, and expansion despite the crazy times
How 2020 is not all about pivot but shift and expansion—not only for Kami but also in her community
Growing a business in a downturn
Expanded and meaningful connections despite limited physical interactions
The power of following your intuition
How 2020 magnified circumstances that were long overdue to shift
Leadership as the center focus in 2021 (Lead like a woman with grit and grace)

It took courage to produce this episode, especially today's added intro. I love talking about entrepreneurs, women and all the topics we usually cover here. Today, it needed to be something more. Thank you for tuning in.

May you find some fire, inspiration and step into this new year with purpose. Thank you being a part of my tribe and community and tuning into all the extraordinary women interviews I get to do this year. Thank you for giving me the space to listen to this solo episode. I don't do these often - and it was time right now for me. Shine your light.

Emma Isaacs Show Notes]]>2688falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/cherylanne-skolnicki-writing-the-playbook-for-brilliant-balance-in-your-life-episode-179--42543918
In this Episode:

Is there such things as real balance
How did everything come up for Cherylanne to be where she is today
How did Cherylanne deal with risk
What actually feels to have work life balance
What is the definition of success
How Cherylanne deals with the judgement and the eyes of people who let her down and how it affects her

Like most children of the 80s and 90s, Cherylanne grew up believing she could have it all. She started her first business while still in high school, and dreamed of one day becoming a CEO. After graduating from Cornell, she went to work for Procter & Gamble where she spent the next 15 years climbing the corporate ladder and managing a portfolio of well-known consumer product brands (one had more than $1 billion in global sales). Despite her demanding work schedule, she still traveled, ran marathons, and volunteered like a boss.
And then she had 3 children. All of a sudden, the unrelenting pace she was running at felt unsustainable. That’s when she knew she had to reorder her life so all the pieces would truly fit - including not just a thriving career and family life, but also a good night's sleep and some time to herself! It wasn't easy at first, but she finally discovered a set of practices that truly worked.

That prompted her to found Brilliant Balance, and her playbook has helped thousands of professional women reclaim rock star status over the last decade. Her company, Brilliant Balance, offers work-life mentorship and coaching programs to help you have a fulfilling career, a thriving family life, and a strong sense of self.

Cherylanne is a sought-after speaker and hosts the top-rated Brilliant Balance podcast. Her work has been featured in Thrive Global, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Women’s Day, and Cincy Chic. She appears on TV news shows as an expert on work-life balance, productivity, and purpose. Cherylanne graduated from Cornell University in 1995. She holds an MBA from the Goizueta School of Management at Emory University. She is a member of the Female Founders Collective, one of Cincinnati’s 100 Wise Women, a Forty Under 40 Honoree, a happy wife, and a proud mom of three.

Bryan is a keynote at our Extraordinary Women Ignite Virtual Conference! I couldn't be more excited to bring his expertise to you!

In this Episode:

How H2H “Human to Human” Movement started and revolutionized ideal business practices
The relevance and importance of H2H in our present times
How vital “human connection” is amidst the pandemic
Bryan's hope for the world after this crisis
His timely insights on how marketing should be
What prompted his career shift and what’s unfolding for him now

Bryan Kramer is a renowned business strategist, global keynote speaker, executive trainer and coach, two-time bestselling author and Forbes contributor. As former President and Co-Owner of PureMatter, a Silicon Valley global marketing agency since 2001, he sparked the Human-to-Human H2H movement that set out to humanize business through simpler communication, empathy, and celebrating our imperfections. His TED Talk on the subject in 2014 featured a TED “first – allowing mobile devices during the event to share the experience to illustrate his belief.

Noted as the “Zen master to Digital Marketers” by Forbes, named a “Top 3 Thought Leadership Speakers You Don’t Want to Miss” in Forbes and in “The Top 100 Most Influential People on Twitter” by Business Insider, Bryan teaches speakers, executives and audiences how to up-level their storytelling and how to be more compelling and clear. With more than 350,000 social fans and followers, Bryan believes that being human is our competitive advantage because of our ability to leverage our emotional intelligence alongside technology to scale, in order to share stories in a human way – not corporate speak.

Bryan’s first book “There Is No B2B or B2C: It’s Human to Human H2H” rose to the #1 spot in Business Books on Amazon in its first week. His second book, “Shareology: How Sharing is Powering the Human Economy” published by Morgan James, made USA Today’s Top 150 Book List the week of its release, as well as #1 on Amazon in Business books.

An experienced interviewer and host, Bryan has spoken with the greats, including Ted Turner, Founder of CNN and philanthropist; George Zimmer, Founder of Men’s Wearhouse; and John Grisham, renowned fiction author of 30 novels and nine blockbuster films including The Firm, Runaway Jury, and The Pelican Brief. He has hosted the EMC Dellworld conference twice and conducted workshops and executive interviews at IBM, Cisco, Verizon, and Pitney Bowes.

In this Episode:

How a 19-year-old Rebecca found her unique "gifts" and "purpose".
Exploring the Psychic abilities and the power of the spiritual guides.
Tapping out our "Intuitive Capabilities".
How to process the messages coming from the spirits.
Roles and functions of the "Team Spirits."
The message of the Spirits in our current state and Rebecca's hope for the world.
Rebecca's encouraging words to the people.

Internationally acclaimed best-selling author, spiritual medium, and speaker, Rebecca Rosen has made it her mission to open the line of communication between the spirit world and our day-to-day world.

Rebecca’s spiritual journey began in 1997 as a college student struggling with depression and a debilitating sleep-eating disorder. Following months of therapy and medication, Rebecca finally, out of desperation, began to pray. On one particularly unremarkable day while sitting in a bookstore, she felt compelled to write in her journal. That’s when her deceased Grandmother Babe, answered her prayers. Rebecca was flooded with words that she involuntarily transcribed, or channeled, not even realizing what she was writing. The handwriting was Rebecca’s, but the words were her Grandmother’s.

Because she, herself, was skeptical, Rebecca asked for proof that what was happening was real. Grandma Babe told her three specific things she wanted Rebecca to share with her father, Grandma Babe’s son. All three turned out to be true and were things only her father and Grandma Babe could possibly know. For the next 18 months, Grandma Babe was Rebecca’s guide, giving her life lessons and even predicting specific personal events that would later come true. At the end of this time, her Grandmother told Rebecca to fulfill her life’s purpose, and ultimately help others. Rebecca’s journey as a medium started with personal readings for family and friends, which were uncannily accurate. These experiences were shared with friends, and then friends of friends. Soon strangers began asking for readings too, and Rebecca realized she had officially arrived as a professional spiritual medium.

Now, over 20 years later, Rebecca’s passion lies in transforming people’s lives by helping them connect to their deceased loved ones, angels, spirits and guides through small group readings, larger audience events, and a variety of spiritual growth products and resources. Her incredibly accurate and detailed readings have amazed and empowered clients and led Rebecca to national media appearances on The Dr. Oz Show, E! News Specials, Fox & Friends, Dr. Phil, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, Nightline and The Rachel Ray Show, among others.

In addition to her two books, Spirited, published in 2012, and Awaken the Spirit Within, published in fall 2013, Rebecca’s newest book, What the Dead Have Taught Me About Living Well was released in February 2017. In her newest book, Rebecca shares the daily practices and tools that she uses to connect with support from beyond, showing readers how they can learn to recognize the signs and harness divine guidance for their everyday lives. Rebecca was also on LMN’s (Lifetime Movie Network) show The Last Goodbye. Through the show, Rebecca connected people seeking answers from their deceased loved ones, and shed light on the truth that death is not the end and love never dies. Rebecca resides in Denver with her husband and children and travels to share her gift and teach others how to receive wisdom and insight that can profoundly, and positively, impact their lives.

Lately uses AI to LEARN what sales and marketing messaging your customers want to read and then builds a writing model that creates that content in DROVES for you, automatically.

In this Episode:

Kate shares her crazy vulnerable and resilient journey as a startup leader through the ups and downs
Kate and I talked about women not owning their gifts and what happens when they do
Learn more about women raising capital
Conscious and unconscious bias
We talked about how to stay true in the vision in front of you
Learn more about Kate’s top social media marketing tips!
An explanation straight from Kate how Lately - my favorite social marketing tool -  can help you on your social media marketing

As a former marketing agency owner, Kate, initially created the idea for Lately out of spreadsheets for then-client, Walmart. Well, not just Walmart. It was a partnership between Walmart, United Way Worldwide, National Disability Institute, and tens of thousands of local, small business and nonprofit affiliates who were all using her spreadsheet system – because they all had the same problems: a lack of coordination, widespread redundancies, no visibility and no organization. With Kate’s spreadsheet system, they achieved a 130%, three year, year-over-year ROI.

In fact, Kate found similar success with all of her clients, regardless of industry or company size. So, along with one heck of a superhero team, she created Lately to organize the mess, automate repetitive processes and eliminate the “overwhelming” feeling that every marketer she’d ever met had complained about. As a former VP of marketing – I get this. As a CEO of my own company – I really get this. I love Lately.

Prior to founding Lately, Kate served 20 million listeners as Music Director and on-air host at Sirius/XM. She’s also an award-winning radio producer, engineer and voice talent with 25 years of national broadcast communications, brand-building, sales and marketing expertise.

Learn how your “mess” can be your powerful “message”
The true essence of the feminine leadership paradigm
Discover how to experience healing through your sensory pathways
What’s stopping women from showing up in their life.

Cherie Burton is a pioneering spiritual psychologist whose evolutionary STAND SPEAK SHINE method transforms women into authentically embodied and empowered feminine leaders. As a mother of six, author, international speaker and host of the Women Seeking Wholeness podcast, she is passionately driven to guide women influencers to heal, express and create, using the “new feminine leadership paradigm.” She earned her degrees in psychology and sociology, and held group therapist positions in a psychiatric facility, a teen behavioral facility and an addiction recovery center.

Cherie was crowned Mrs. Utah 2004, and has become a skilled mentor in speaking, beauty, and “queenly secrets,” coaching multiple females who won pageant titles.  Ironically, Cherie’s close sister Shawna (a mother of five young children) took her own life during this same time.  Cherie’s work as an emotional wellness expert expanded quickly, in her obsessive quest to break family patterns and crack the code on depression.

Cherie is an avid researcher and teacher of the Divine Feminine and has written and produced audios, training programs, and transformational retreats. With a keen focus on addressing the whole woman on multiple levels, she dove into Yoga Teacher Training and became a certified mind/body facilitator in the unique modality, Perfect Healing.  Her unique expertise is in the science and spirituality of sensory integration.

Karen Sherman, author of the forthcoming book, Brick by Brick -- Building Hope and Opportunity for Women Survivors Everywhere (January 2020 -- Rowman & Littlefield), has spent her life advocating for women in war-torn and transitional countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Sudan, Kosovo, and the former Soviet Union. Throughout her 30-year career in global development, Sherman has met and interviewed thousands of women. Their remarkable stories of strength, courage, resilience, and resourcefulness fuel what she believes to be true: Championing women’s education and economic participation has the power to transform the lives of women and the future of families, communities, societies, and ultimately the world.

Sherman has spent decades translating this belief into action, in field offices and boardrooms and with leaders at all levels, including heads of state, ambassadors, business leaders, academics, and non-governmental organizations. Sherman passionately speaks and writes about advancing women’s educational and economic opportunities. Currently, she serves as President of the Akilah Institute, Rwanda’s only women’s college, leading its strategy, growth, and partnerships. Prior to joining Akilah, Sherman was a senior executive at Women for Women International, an organization that helps women survivors of war to rebuild their lives. She began writing Brick by Brick during the year she spent living in Rwanda with her three sons to oversee the construction of a first-of-its-kind women’s opportunity center.

Sherman is a sought-after speaker on global women’s issues and has been featured on BBC, CNBC Africa, Al Jazeera English, and Voice of America, and in numerous outlets including ABCNews.com, Council on Foreign Relations, Huffington Post, and Africa.com. She served as Executive Producer of The Other Side of War: Women’s Stories of Survival and Hope, published by National Geographic. She serves on the board of directors of Everywoman.org, promoting a global treaty to prevent violence against women.
“There’s two things that make a fundamental difference for women and girls everywhere. One is an education and the second is the ability to earn income.” - Karen Sherman

The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame mission is to inspire by celebrating and sharing the enduring contributions of Colorado’s distinctive women. To achieve this, the Hall educates the people of Colorado about the stories of the women who shaped our state and the nation’s history with courage, leadership, intelligence, compassion, and creativity. Their talents, skills, struggles, and contributions form a legacy that the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame is dedicated to protecting. I invite you to join us at the March 18, 2020, Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame 2020 Inductee Gala by purchasing your ticket here.

Watch for five additional interviews in the coming months of the 2020 Inductee Hall of Famers:

Lupe Briseño – Briseño made waves within Colorado’s Labor Movement after organizing the Kitayama Carnation Strike—the women-led social movement in 1969 at the Kitamaya floral plant in Brighton, which centered on demands for worker’s rights, especially in regard to the treatment of female workers. Her demonstration of leadership in the fight for civil and labor rights, social justice, and feminism played a pivotal role in the Colorado Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and ’70s.
Rosalind “Bee” Harris – LISTEN TO HER INTERVIEW Harris shifted the Colorado media landscape when she founded the Denver Urban Spectrum in 1987 — a monthly publication built to elevate the stories of communities of color and highlight the voices that were not otherwise reflected in mainstream media. Harris also went on to found the Urban Spectrum Youth Foundation in 2000 as a journalism mentoring program for 11- to 17-year-olds.

How women are stronger these days and have learned to speak up
The opportunities for women of this generation
What Guadalupe will tell her 30-year old self

As the organizer of the Kitayama Carnation Strike, Lupe Briseño demonstrated the strength and power of Latina leadership in Colorado’s Labor Movement and set the stage for the Colorado Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 70s. Her story is an essential chapter in the history of Colorado, the evolution of Latina feminist leadership, and the struggle for Chicano civil rights.

The Kitayama Carnation Strike was one of the seminal events in 1969 that laid the foundation for the Chicano Movement in Colorado. The impact of the women-led social movement reverberated throughout the state within the Chicano Civil Rights Movement.

But most importantly, Briseño and the Kitayama Carnation Strike demanded that women, as well as all laborers, be treated with the respect and dignity that they deserved. Fundamental human rights were at the heart of their demands – the same rights that are the foundation of many of the social justice movements today: equal-pay-for-equal work, immigration rights, anti-human trafficking, and the “Me Too” movement.

Lupe Briseño, her companions and their role in the Kitayama Carnation strike empowered Latinas in the civil rights, labor, feminist, education, and social justice movements of the 1960s and 70s. Her actions and leadership are the shoulders upon which current Latina leaders stand.
“The women were very strong. You’ll be surprised when the women make a stand.” - Guadalupe Briseno

We have such a beautiful and fun conversation and Donna shares many of the stories of her life and love-filled thoughts, including:

How she found her passion for storytelling
The important role that stories play in connecting us with the world
How real success comes from being able to share our vulnerability
Donna’s most vulnerable moments and her valuable learnings
What she's most proud of and the legacy she wishes to leave

She also gives some good sage advice on how to start writing your book and get into the flow in writing, as well as more about Indie publishing.

Donna, The Word Heartiste, is an award-winning editor and publisher. Having worked with dozens of men and women as a writing coach and editor, she knows that in addition to a skilled and knowledgeable “wordsmith,” authors benefit from working with someone who uses heart and intuition to help them connect with their core voice. Donna’s gentle, clear guidance and safe, non-critical approach to coaching writers allow people to navigate the places and spaces that can sometimes be difficult to explore.

Donna especially loves working with authors in the genres of memoir, biography, and personal growth and development. She works in a variety of other genres, including historical fiction, fantasy fiction, health and nutrition, spirituality, death and dying, parenting, adolescent psychology, business, entrepreneurship, as well as children’s books that address social and environmental issues.

In 2013, Donna began Merry Dissonance Press, a book producer/indie publisher of works of transformation, inspiration, exploration, and illumination. As of 2019, Merry Dissonance Press has published 20 books and accumulated more than 50 awards. Donna continues to work on her personal memoir, Mosaic Heart: Pieces of an Unfinished Life, which will be released in 2020.

Hear Mary Claire's journey from a high-paying OB-GYN to a successful entrepreneur
How Mary Claire started with a simple Facebook group and an online course but hit 7-figures last year
How to leverage Facebook ads as a core strategy
Do’s and don’ts in doing business in the diet and health space
Learn how Mary Claire’s The Galveston Diet stands out in a competitive industry
The food and health industry and what to watch out for as consumers
How to prepare for the changes brought about by the onset of menopause
The Galveston Diet and what you should be eating

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do.

As her patient population aged, she was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause.

For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn’t until she, too, experienced the changes of menopause that she realized this advice doesn’t work.  This interview is so refreshing!

Mary Claire is the founder and creator of The Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet is dedicated to helping women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition.

In this episode:

Listen in on how Velveta’s path was set out to fight against racial discrimination at an early age of 6 years old
Velveta’s encounter with a police officer that sparked her own  to crusade for equality
Appreciate how Velveta saw individual differences but also saw the equality in people
What continues to drive Velveta to fight for equality and social justice
The achievement that Velveta is proud of the most
Some leadership tips to help you excel as a leader
What we can do as individuals to help the country and make a difference
Velveta’s message to the world

Velveta Howell has made many contributions as a life-long champion for social justice and advocacy. She is known as an exceptional role model for other African American women and girls. She was the eighth African American female graduate of the University of Colorado Law School and the first woman of color appointed as Colorado’s Deputy District Attorney. From her humble beginnings, she has worked tirelessly at the local, state, regional, and federal levels to advance the causes closest to her, succeeding in the fiercely competitive and often brutal world of criminal justice.

Through creative, solid, and sustainable policies, practices, and procedures, Howell designed roadmaps to enhance others’ lives, especially society’s most vulnerable. Her ability to visualize and eliminate impediments to social justice, equipped her to tear down barriers and increase access to social, civil, and criminal justice, quality and equal healthcare, clean water, affordable housing, food, and other critical services for people of all backgrounds.. Howell attributes her success to integrity, compassionfor all people, and an unrelenting commitment to justice. This determination has resulted in a succession of women, especially women of color, following her into this still male-dominated arena. Today, many African American prosecutors, judges, and defense attorneys in Colorado are inspired
and/or personally mentored by her.

Howell has worked to improve access to quality healthcare to all Colorado citizens, particularly under-served populations. She is one of twelve appointees to the Robert Wood Johnson-funded Colorado Healthcare Reform Executive Steering Committee and Turning Point Initiative . She is also the driver behind the committee’s focus on racial and ethnic healthcare disparities. This focus has resulted in the establishment and legislative enactment of the Colorado Office of Health Disparities , only the nation’s second.
“I had a purpose and God has plans that I would live out and that I would be strengthened and supported no matter the barriers.” - Velveta GoLightly Howell

From her humble beginnings, she has worked tirelessly at the local, state, regional, and federal levels to advance the causes closest to her, succeeding in the fiercely competitive and often brutal world of criminal justice.

Through creative, solid, and sustainable policies, practices, and procedures, Howell designed roadmaps to enhance others’ lives, especially society’s most vulnerable. Her ability to visualize and eliminate impediments to social justice, equipped her to tear down barriers and increase access to social, civil, and criminal justice, quality and equal healthcare, clean water, affordable housing, food, and other critical services for people of all backgrounds.. Howell attributes her success to integrity, compassionfor all people, and an unrelenting commitment to justice. This determination has resulted in a succession of women, especially women of color, following her into this still male-dominated arena. Today, many African American prosecutors, judges, and defense attorneys in Colorado are inspired
and/or personally mentored by her.

Howell has worked to improve access to quality healthcare to all Colorado citizens, particularly under-served populations. She is one of twelve appointees to the Robert Wood Johnson-funded Colorado Healthcare Reform Executive Steering Committee and Turning Point Initiative . She is also the driver behind the committee’s focus on racial and ethnic healthcare disparities. This focus has resulted in the establishment and legislative enactment of the Colorado Office of Health Disparities , only the nation’s second.
“I had a purpose and God has plans that I would live out and that I would be strengthened and supported no matter the barriers.” - Velveta GoLightly Howell

The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame mission is to inspire by celebrating and sharing the enduring contributions of Colorado’s distinctive women. To achieve this, the Hall educates the people of Colorado about the stories of the women who shaped our state and the nation’s history with courage, leadership, intelligence, compassion, and creativity. Their talents, skills, struggles, and contributions form a legacy that the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame is dedicated to protecting. I invite you to join us at the March 18, 2020 Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame 2020 Inductee Gala by purchasing your ticket here.

Watch for five additional interviews in the coming months of the 2020 Inductee Hall of Famers:

In this episode:

Listen in on Holly’s dark night of the soul and spiritual awakening experience
Holly’s exploration of the spiritual realm and the Akashic Records
How Holly integrates spirituality in her messaging work with clients
How to confidently reveal your true self through your brand
What it means to reach the upper limit of your business and how to break away from it
Learn to trust yourself again and your seemingly crazy ideas

Entrepreneurial goals can be a moving target, something   Holly Chantal learned firsthand after successfully establishing herself as a business coach and brand strategist that was on track to hit seven figures within her first 5 years. Everything changed however when Holly started a family and she found herself in a deep depression, questioning what she wanted  from life and consequently her business.

This lead to a deep spiritual awakening that resulted in her taking command of her business in a whole new way that suited her life as a mother and allows her to make an even bigger impact on the world. Today, Holly works with experienced service-based professionals who find themselves at a plateau in their business with no clear guidance on where to go next.

Whether her clients have veered off course from their initial goals, struggle with expansion plans or have found their business isn’t working for them on a personal level, Holly helps her clients gain clarity on what is keeping them stuck and what the next stage of their business looks like. She does this by combining her decade worth of experience in brand messaging, design strategy, and copywriting, along with metaphysical tools and intuitive gifts to bring their brand,  business model, and marketing into alignment with their next evolution.

Discover how Gale’s path was meaningfully opened up to politics and law
Gale’s momentous journey as the first woman elected as Attorney General of Colorado
Running for office and how to raise your voice as a woman
Gale’s experience as the first woman appointed Secretary of the US Department of the Interior

Gale become the first woman elected Attorney General of Colorado – at a time when only two women had previously held the office of state Attorney General anywhere in the country.  She achieved another first when she was appointed Secretary of the US Department of the Interior – the first female leader in the Department’s 150-year history.  In that role, Norton was responsible for managing over 20% of the land area of the United States, a Fortune-500-sized budget, and a workforce of 70,000 employees. Norton led efforts that resolved 70-year-old interstate disputes on the Colorado River and instituted a west-wide water conservation program. She championed the President's Healthy Forest Initiative and Cooperative Conservation.

As an attorney, Norton has handled multi-billion-dollar and high-profile litigation, including arguing cases before the US Supreme Court and negotiating one of the largest lawsuit settlements in history.  Norton has a B.A., J.D. and honorary Ph.D. from the University of Denver, and an honorary Dr. Eng. from the Colorado School of Mines.  In 2014, DU Law School honored Norton with the Outstanding Alumni Award.

Norton is now president of Norton Regulatory Strategies.  She serves on the boards of directors of American Transmission Company, which operates electric transmission facilities, and Liberty Oilfield Services.  She resides in Colorado with her husband John Hughes.

As Secretary of the Interior, 2001-2006, Gale Norton played a key role in shaping national energy policies. In the face of crises including the September 11th attacks and the War on Terror, increasing domestic energy production became a major focus for Norton’s term.  She oversaw lands and offshore areas that produced a third of America's domestic oil, natural gas, and coal. She was actively involved in consideration of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, offshore and onshore oil and gas production, coal mine leasing and reclamation, hydroelectric generation, as well as biomass, wind and geothermal development.

Norton was General Counsel for Royal Dutch Shell Unconventional Oil, 2007-2010, and Attorney General of Colorado, 1991-1999.   She is currently President of Norton Regulatory Strategies and serves on the Board of Directors of American Transmission Company, which operates electric transmission facilities across the US.

I’m launching today’s podcast a couple of days early to share the upcoming book launch of their new book: Hollywood: Her Story, An Illustrated History of Women and the Movies.

They are hosting a book launch party at 7 pm on October 24 at the well known Tattered Cover Book Store on Colfax in Denver. It’s going to be a special event, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it!

In this episode we jam about:

How Jill and Barbara decided to write this book
The silent movie era and how women was most involved in it
The women who stood out in the movie industry each decade
What Jill and Barbara hope for women in Hollywood
Barbara’s work through Women+Film – Denver Film Society
Jill’s Her Story books series

This is the second time that Jill has joined us on Extraordinary Women Radio. Jill S. Tietjen is the co-author of Her Story: A Timeline of the Women Who Changed America, which received the Daughters of the American Revolution History Award Medal.

She speaks around the country about women’s contributions to history. Jill is arguably one of the top historians on women across all fields of endeavor in the U.S. She works to bring more visibility to women through her continual nominations of historical and living women for national, state, and local awards.  Her nominees have been successfully inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame, and a number of state Women’s Halls of Fame. Jill herself, is an inductee to the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame.

Barbara Bridges has spent much of her life as an entrepreneur and businesswoman.  In 2006, she founded Women+Film where, with the Denver Film Society, she has been bringing audiences together with films by and about women that ignite discussions around global issues facing women today. The Denver Post named Barbara one of Colorado’s Top Thinkers in Arts and Culture. Her involvement in Women+Film naturally led her to join the Women’s Leadership Council at Sundance.  Barbara has received numerous awards and is a member of the Women’s Forum, a past board chair of the Women’s Foundation of Colorado and a member of the Women Moving Millions’ board

As you can see, these are two amazing women and I’m honored to bring you their stories today!

As an Archetype explorer, she works with individuals to uncover and connect the hidden symbols, patterns and passions that give their lives and work meaning.

In this episode we dig into the stories and wisdom around:

How Christie started her journey as a leadership coach and consultant at 13
How leadership should be about listening and being curious about your people
The in-depth definition of leadership and its transformation to emotional leadership
How Christie incorporates Kundalini yoga and meditation into her leadership work
How to bring more balance and peace into your life

At 13-years-old Christie’s life suddenly and dramatically shifted, when she suffered some devastating losses and was thrust into a leadership position, which subsequently, impacted her relationship to her own emotional growth. She has spent the better part of the past two decades on her own corrective path, and because of this, has a sincere desire to encourage others to have a healthier relationship to their emotions.

She is the creator of The Adventures of Lil’ Sass, a series of personal development books for young people, accompanied by supporting accessories & experiences - a brand that teaches the importance and value of being with our own emotions and shows us how much JOY we can experience when we allow ourselves to be fully self-expressed. She draws inspiration for the characters, stories and accessories from her own life experiences and practices, and is in awe of children’s resilience and emotional flexibility and champions adults’ rights to have and express emotions too.

She is an author, spiritual psychologist, leadership coach, learning consultant, trainer, speaker and Kundalini Yoga & Meditation teacher who designs and facilitates transformational content and experiences for companies, and helps to make our world a happier, healthier and more connected place to be.

I love this interview! I have followed Beth’s inspiration for many years, dating back to my corporate days over a decade ago.

Today we talk about her journey through GE, about leading change, about stepping into our courage and granting ourselves permission to show up in bigger, bolder ways and more!

Beth’s mission is to understand what’s next, navigate change and help others do the same. By cultivating a habit of seeking out new ideas, people and places, she built a career path from storyteller to chief marketer to corporate Vice Chair.

Beth led efforts to accelerate new growth, develop digital and clean-energy futures, seed new businesses and enhance brand value. As President of Integrated Media at NBC Universal, Beth oversaw TV ad revenue and new digital efforts, including the early development of hulu.com.

Beth is a director at Nike, trustee of The National Geographic Society and former board president of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Museum.

Her first book, Imagine it Forward, about working (and living) on the front lines of change, was released September 2018. Her stories are fabulous and vulnerable.

This was such a delightful interview and I was so honored to interview SARK, someone who has provide inspiration to me for over 20 years!

SARK gets vulnerable in personal story and her rich wisdom in this interview. In this episode we dance in conversation around:

Blending and alchemizing the terrible and wonderful to create a brand new healing mixture you can use in your life right now
What the word “succulent” means to Susan
What helped Susan step into facing and overcoming her fears
New wisdom that came to SARK over the loss of her husband
Susan’s go-to ways of taking care of herself when her cup needs filling
And explore the power in the question... “Are you asking enough?”

SARK is now fully engaged in a major brand expansion spearheaded by her new self-help memoir. Like three of her previous 17 bestselling books, Succulent Wild Woman, Succulent Wild Love and Glad No Matter What, SARK’s revelatory new memoir is both prescriptive and reflective of her own life journey which is personal as well as universal. The memoir goes beyond any of her previous books in depth and dimension.

This is SARK as a magical sage, still whimsical while introducing a new kind of elegance into both her content and presentation. This is a book written for all genders and an increasingly wide demographic of new fans. People are hungrier than ever for wisdom that really works. That wisdom requires the kind of magical and practical thinking that SARK unfolds within her own dramatic, inspirational journey.

SARK in her new memoir offers not only a compelling story but also real hope with real “magic” that absolutely works. It not only works for her – she’s been teaching people to be able to create their own magically practical lives for decades.

Born in Minneapolis in 1954, SARK wrote her first book at age 10, going on to pursue higher education in Communication Arts and Radio/Television Production. She is a favorite with both PBS and NPR, and widely touted by print and social media. Some of the luminaries that endorse her work are: Dr. Maya Angelou, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Marci Shimoff, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Neale Donald Walsch, and Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen.

SARK’s purpose is to be a transformer, uplifter and laser beam of love, and she does that through her art, words, and spirit.

AND A record number of women won their races, and as we look forward to the 2020 presidential elections – currently, there are six women stepping up to the podium claiming their desire to be president… That makes me excited.

I was honored that my newly elected representative to the Colorado House, Lisa Cutter joined us at my Extraordinary Women Connect gala in May – and I’m thrilled to have her join us today on Extraordinary Women Radio.
“I was in a position to help change the world, and if I didn’t use that, what kind of a role model or what kind of demonstration would I be? For that also was really a driver for me.” – Lisa Cutter
No matter your party affiliation, If you are being called to make a difference in your communities, in your state, our nation, our world – I invite you to tune into this episode!

Lisa shares her story of how the seeds of the idea to run for office came to her… what she did with those ideas, and what she’s learned in her inaugural year in office.

She talks about what we can do as ordinary… or dare I say extraordinary women, to impact change in our society, and also, what we can do if running for office is a seed waiting to be nurtured. I love this interview!

Happiness is grounded in relationships of all kinds. The ways we connect with others at home, work, school, in business, as parents, educators, employers and mentors.

How the topic of "empathy" chose Dr. Riess
The decline of empathy in the healthcare section and how the power of empathy is very essential today more than ever
Helen’s description on how we mirror each other’s feelings and emotions
The shared neuro-circuits between people and animals
How we can learn more empathy

It was such a delight to speak with Lissa. I’ve been reading her book the The Daily Flame – a daily inspiration book – and I have to say it’s one of the best I’ve ever read! The Daily Flame is all about connecting to our inner pilot light –That sparks of divinity within. It’s been a wonderful addition to my daily rituals, and I’m grateful for Lissa.

In this interview we talk about:

The transitional journey and calling of Lissa Rankin
Listening to your inner inner pilot and how it would help you along the way
Healthcare, trauma healing, and self-healing
Why does healing stop and how does deep connection to the Earth helps a person heal?

Lissa Rankin, MD, is a physician, speaker, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute, creator of The Daily Flame, and mystic.

Passionate about what makes people optimally healthy and what predisposes them to illness, Lissa discovered that connecting with your “Inner Pilot Light” is not only essential to optimal health, making your body ripe for miracles; it’s also the golden ticket to finding and fulfilling your calling, nurturing healthy relationships, being a loving, responsible, ethical Soul Tribe member, downloading creative new ideas from the muse, and restoring peace on earth. Bridging between seemingly disparate worlds,

Lissa is a connector, collaborator, curator, and amplifier, broadcasting not only her unique visionary ideas, but also those of cutting edge visionaries she discerns and trusts, especially in the field of her latest research into “Sacred Medicine.”

In 2012, Lissa founded the Whole Health Medicine Institute, where she and a team of luminary faculty like Deepak Chopra, Rachel Naomi Remen, Bernie Siegel, and Joan Borysenko train physicians and other health care providers about “Whole Health” and the “6 Steps to Healing Yourself.” Lissa has starred in two National Public Television specials, her TEDx talks have been viewed over 4 million times, and she leads workshops, both online and at retreat centers like Esalen, 1440, Omega, and Kripalu.

This interview was a fun one! We did it at the Holidaily Brewery in Golden, CO with a flight of beers in front of us! And how this came about was equally as fun!

I belong to a secret Facebook group of about 20,000 women called the FEMPS… you have to get invited to this group by someone already in the group… and it is therefore, the most extraordinary group of women!

Last month, there was a post from Manouschka Guerrier. 
Hey Femps I’m heading to Colorado May 25th for about 10 days shooting my docuseries #FaceReality & looking to interview women in the cannabis, brewery & food industry. Anyone down to meet & share your story or know anyone in these industries to link me up with?
Well, anyone who knows me, knows I’m a connector – and so within minutes I had connected Manouschka up with half-a-dozen different women, including Karen Hertz, the founder and Chief Brewista at my favorite gluten-free brewery – Holidaily!

I had a blast interviewing Manouschka and Karen at Holidaily! Manouschka is personal chef to the stars, owner of #SingleServe, Chef at Foodnetwork and #RecipeHunters, co-star of Private Chefs of Beverly Hills and creator of her new docuseries called Face Reality! In addition, she has been a chef at NBC and Oprah Winfrey Network.

And Karen Hertz of Holidaily is an inspirational story herself! I actually interviewed Karen in one of my forth episode of Extraordinary Women Radio, where she told her start up story. Today we dig into the mega growth Holidaily is doing, and Karen shares the story of how they just grew their production capability by 5 times! On top of that, I love Holidaily beer! It is so good!

This might have been the most fun I’ve had interviewing – and special shout-out to my good friend Tahverlee Anglen of the podcast Grit and Grace, who brought out all her fancy portable podcasting equipment for me to use this day, which enabled us to record right in the brewery!

Now let’s dive in and meet Manouschka Guerrier and Karen Hertz – recorded at Holidaily Brewery!

Pam is one of my favorite authors of all time! I read Pam’s book, Cowboys Are My Weakness, many, many years ago. Her books a series of short stories about her life – so many which mirrored my own life at that time – and her fun writing style made me feel like I was in the room with her.

Fast forward all these years later, and one of my clients casually asks, "Have you ever read any Pam Houston books? She has a new book out that made me think of you."

"OMG – yes I know who she is! I love her writing!" And I instantly proceeded to order her most recent  book, Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country.

Deep Creek tells Pam’s story of finding her ranch in Creede, CO. At 31 years old, she was fresh off a tour promoting her book, Cowboys Are My Weakness. ,She had “no job, no place to lie except her North Face tent.” On an impulse and a good instinct, she spent her royalties on a 120-acre ranch near Creede, Colorado. It was more than she could afford, and required more maintenance than she could manage. And yet, 25 years later, it’s the piece of land that’s defined the largest part of her life. Deep Creek tells the remarkable story of “that girl who dared herself to buy a ranch, dared herself to dig in and care for it, to work hard enough to pay for it, to figure out what other people mean when they use the world ‘home.”’

So you can imagine how excited I was when I reached out to Pam as I was reading Deep Creek, and said – hey can I feature you on Extraordinary Women Radio – and within minutes she emailed back and said “Sure!”

What’s really fun for me, is I’ve trail ridden in the mountains above Pam’s ranch. This is deep high country, and it is where my father’s ashes are spread, high atop a mountain range, 16 miles from any roads. This country is wild, rugged and magically spirit-filled. I feel Pam’s love for this land.

It truly was a delight to feature Pam in this interview. She is also the author of Contents May Have Shifted, Waltzing the Cat, the novel, Sight Hound, and a collection of essays, A Little More About Me. Her stories have been selected for volumes of Best American Short Stories, The O. Henry Awards, The 2013 Pushcart Prize, and Best American Short Stories of the Century. She is the winner of the Western States Book Award, the WILLA award for contemporary fiction, The Evil Companions Literary Award and multiple teaching awards. She co-founded the literary nonprofit Writing By Writers, is a professor of English at UC Davis, teaches in The Institute of American Indian Art, and at writer’s conferences around the country and the world.

To learn more about Pam, follow her on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

It is my pleasure to introduce you to one of my sheroes, Pam Houston.

In this episode, Lily shares the story of how she and her husband build the Chinese Children Adoption International to create a ripple effect of change around the world.

Lily is a prominent leader and orphan advocate in international adoption and children service community.  As a co-founder of Chinese Children Charities/CCAI, Lily has saved lives of over 12,000 abandoned Chinese children since 1992, mostly girls, by placing them with loving and secure American adoptive families.

Two books have told Lily's stories: Love without Boundary, 2002 by Li Chun Xiu and Bound by Love, 2010 by Linda Droeger. And Lily has been featured on media from around the world, including: ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox, China Central TV, KUSA, KCNC, WHDH, KWGN, Rocky Mountain News, Denver Post, Daily Camera, USA Today, China Daily, and more.

In this episode, Lily shares the story of how she and her husband build the Chinese Children Adoption International to create a ripple effect of change around the world.

Lily is a prominent leader and orphan advocate in international adoption and children service community.  As a co-founder of Chinese Children Charities/CCAI, Lily has saved lives of over 12,000 abandoned Chinese children since 1992, mostly girls, by placing them with loving and secure American adoptive families.

And on top of that, Lily has impacted over 70,000 Chinese orphans’ lives by bringing them over ten million dollars’ worth of food, clothes, medical treatment and education support in the past 27 years.  She has made it possible for thousands of adopted children and their families to receive post adoption cultural and emotional support through Joyous Chinese Cultural Center she established in 1996.

Two books have told Lily's stories: Love without Boundary, 2002 by Li Chun Xiu and Bound by Love, 2010 by Linda Droeger. And Lily has been featured on media from around the world, including: ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox, China Central TV, KUSA, KCNC, WHDH, KWGN, Rocky Mountain News, Denver Post, Daily Camera, USA Today, China Daily, and more.

We Rise Up premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and brings together some of the most brilliant, accomplished & high-impact leaders of our day. It’s about redefining a new model of success to uplift & empower people to live radically fulfilled, purpose driven lives.

You’re going to learn more about it in today’s interview, but first, let me tell you how I met Kate.

Five years ago I said yes to a conference on the spur of moment knowing that I was meant to be there. That decision forever changed my business and my life. We had to apply to attend this conference – as the speaker list was stellar: the CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Lynne Twist , Ken Wilbur, Blake Mycoskie – the CEO of Toms Shoes, Allanis Morsette, Michael Franti, Tom Chi – the creator of Google Glass, Jack Canfield… and many, many more.

The lineup was incredible. The message was powerful. "It’s time to redefine what success means."

The woman who directed and produced this conference was Kate Maloney, and I knew the moment I met her that she was a woman I needed to know more. Kate is a visionary… a movement maker and a woman with a passion for changing the way we looked at success!

Over the course of the 4 days that I spent at conference, I was inspired to #RaiseUP how I was showing up the world. It’s where the seeds of my Extraordinary Women Connect & Extraordinary Women Ignite events were planted. It’s where the seeds of the podcast first gave birth. Shortly after, I wrote my own purpose statement that said… “I want to help 1 million women step into their passion and purpose and make the impact that they desire in the world."

Kate had seeds planted at this conference as well, although as she shares in our interview today – the vision would come to her very organically in the years that followed… A movie… a movement… We Rise Up – because our world needs us.

Kate did a premier showing of We Rise Up at the Sundance Film Festival and also in Boulder this year. The official launch of We Rise Up will be this Fall… and I am thrilled to share that we’re going to have a private showing of We Rise Up at my Extraordinary Women Connect event November 7, 8 and 9th in Golden Colorado and that Kate will be joining us as one of our keynote speakers.
"Business is perhaps the most profound change agent on the planet. It's a powerful force." ~Kate Maloney
In our interview today, Kate shares more about the We Rise Up movement and how it came to be. You will be inspired… be sure to go out to the We Rise Up The Movie on their Facebook page or on their Web Site. Facebook page and join in the conversation. Then join us in November at Ignite and apply some of Kate’s magic to your world.

In our interview today, Dr. Grandin tells her own personal story of finding the boldness and guts to do the great things in her life.

We talk about how horses saved her life and how horses can impact our society, especially our kids - something that is so important right now.

She shares her wisdom on the different spectrums of thinking that people have, and how labeling our in kids so quickly can be harmful.

Dr. Grandin shares her story of how she led change in the very male dominated world of agriculture and how she overcame her fear of speaking, as she speaks all around the world today.

Dr. Grandin is a legend in her own right.

More than half the cattle in Colorado, the United States, and Canada dwell in humane livestock-handling facilities designed by Colorado State University (CSU) animal sciences professor Temple Grandin.

Grandin’s extraordinary relationship with animals began with horses when she was a girl. During summers on her aunt’s cattle ranch, Grandin’s interactions with farm animals taught her lifelong coping skills that helped her overcome difficulties in communicating with people. For example, she invented a machine for calming herself that resembled squeezing systems used to calm cattle during branding. Her mother and aunt pushed her to develop her special talents despite the conventional wisdom in the early 1960s that autistic people could not lead mainstream lives.

Grandin has shared her vast expertise in livestock handling in hundreds of industry publications, book chapters, technical papers, and scholarly journal articles. Her best-selling Animals in Translation is one of seven books she has authored on animal behavior and autism. Thinking in Pictures and Other Reports from My Life with Autism describes her unique thinking process, which is based more on visual images than on words and language. Grandin argues that many animals share this perspective, enabling her to foster practical approaches to human-animal interactions that have revolutionized the cattle-handling industry.

Grandin generously supports graduate students at CSU and offers individual advice to young people on a daily basis. Time magazine listed her as one of its 100 most influential people in 2010, and the national media have interviewed her extensively, including on 60 Minutes, in The Wall Street Journal, and on National Public Radio. As a female trailblazer in an all-male industry, Grandin has used her well-known reputation to help others break through barriers of sexism and prejudice against persons with autism and bring about a fresh appreciation for all people.
"Autism is an important part of who I am, which I don't want to change. But this is not my primary identity." ~ Dr. Temple Grandin

Honeybee is Spiritual Psychologist, a Ceremonialist, a Mystic and has traveled the corners of the world in search of the greatest tools to align to the true Self.

I personally was excited to hear more about Honeybee's pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. As she shares with us, "the Camino is only one piece of the puzzle. Over the last 4 years, I have been plucked from my home, and sent around the globe on a mission to empower women.  I never know exactly where I am going next, or what waits for me around the corner.  This is how I have been thrust into flow."

And so we jam about being in flow. We jam about the value of being a woman and of learning how to relax the mind, the control mechanism, the nervous system… to allow more energy to move through us!

If we, as women, start learning how to listen inwardly to that small inner voice, called intuition, each woman will be able to live a life on purpose.  This is Honeybee's dream.

Honeybee blends over 20 years of ancient practices with modern-day science to support people in attaining and maintaining alignment, a state of consciousness that allows connection to Flow. She is an active seeker and student of shamanic traditions, yoga, tantra, NLP and Spiritual Psychology. She draws on the wisdom collected from saints and sages, Mother Nature and mystics, science and technology to support full activation of the human potential.
"If you're a 'yes', go on full YES and you don't need to worry about it. If you're a 'no', it's simply a no. It doesn't mean it's bad or it's wrong for you. It just means simply it may not be the right time." - Honeybee Henderson

Currently, there are only 2 women for every 10 board seats sitting on corporate boards across the US and Canada.

Michele is on a mission to change this – to bring that ratio into a 50/50 balance, and to do it in a much faster timeline than that of our current trajectory of change… which, as she shares with us in this interview, would take 70 years! I believe in her work.

We talk about her personal journey to public boards – working in two male-dominated fields – mining and finance.  Michele has served on six corporate boards over 18 years and is currently an Independent Director for McEwen Mining Inc., MUX:NYSE, and MENE Inc., MENE:TSXV, as well as a subject matter expert on corporate boards, a key note speaker and an executive business consultant.

She interviewed 200 women over 18 months and has found the gaps that can keep women from achieving board status, and this research became the foundation for her ACE Board Training For Women – with the goal of  training 1000 women for corporate boards  and the Corporate Directors Int’l Board Certification Exam,  which certifies candidates for Corporate Board service.

Her program teaches women how to get on boards, how to behave in the board room and financial and legal acumen. It also teaches women how to build their board resume – which is very different than a traditional resume, translating your experiences into the executive vernacular.
"Stand out - by how you work and what you do for people." ~Michele Ashby
Michele is an author of 3 books and a former ultra-athlete. Michele is the first woman in North America to row 24 hours on a Concept 2 rowing machine – a total of 211,036 meters in 24 hours. Most recently, Michele was named as one of the Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Business in Colorado for 2019 by the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce.

Ms. Ashby has extensive non-profit and trade association board experience. Michele also founded Dani's Foundation, in memory of her daughter, Dani Stell, which contributed over $1 million for Ewing’s Sarcoma cancer research over 15 years. She has also served as a Board member and Chair of the Board of the Oncology Board at the Children's Hospital Colorado.

This conference is for women in their 40s and 50s who are wanting to start their second… third or even fourth act in life and business. There’s going to be all kinds of stories being told on women stepping into their own second acts – the conference includes high-level breakout tracks, panel and audience discussions, deep dives, hands-on workshops, and socials with like-minded GenX and boomer women. I can’t wait!

In our interview we dive into a topic that we’re both passionate about – Your Next Chapter! We talk about how to take courage to step into your next career shift and embrace the fear that is there in when you're starting all over again! (and why it's so amazing when you do!)

Barbara is a a 28-year company marcom aficionado turned accidental entrepreneur. She’s a powerhouse community leader, a dynamic speaker and a die-hard philanthropist living the next phase of her life with purpose and vision. Yep – my kind of woman!

Her mission is to authentically inspire women to win big and boldly at work and everywhere in between.

Her career spans the shopping center and broadcast industries – winning several awards for her work as a senior-level marketer and business development manager. She oversaw business growth and sponsorship sales of regional and super-regional malls and a downtown shopping and entertainment district spanning from Texas, New York and Las Vegas, Nevada to Denver’s own, Park Meadows Retail Resort. Seeking change, she took a detour into broadcast business development for I Heart Radio (formerly Clear Channel), CBS Radio and Gannett Broadcasting.

Starting her ‘second act’ at 51, her new multiplatform communications agency, BloomCo Presents produces women’s business education and social programs with flair and savvy. Delivering on women’s advocacy and community, the two-pronged approach focuses on the newly coveted woman over 40 years-young and it’s all starting with her #SecondAct BizCon coming to Denver, March 21-23, 2019.

If you’ve been thinking about your what’s next in life and business… and really ready to #RaiseUP how you’re living life out loud, then you’re going to want to join us next week at #SecondActBizCon on March 21-23 at the Art Hotel.

I loved Nicole from the moment I met her several years ago, shortly after I had read her book Women of the Wise Earth. Nicole was one of the first women I reached out to blindly on the internet saying, “I’d just like to know you more.”

We Skyped and it was the beginning of a dear friendship.

In that call I shared my own poem that had been inspired by her book - Circle of Sisters. And I shared a seed of an idea that came to me in writing that poem. What if... we took the principles of her book Women of the Wise Earth – women connecting in circle, in nature, in ritual – grounded in the chakras – and created a global movement. And we both said yes.

Together, we wrangled up women from around to world to join us in a series of circles over a 7 month period over multiple continents. I wrote about it in my blog "Walking a Life of Empowerment and Possibilities."

After we hosted each circle, all the women from around the world would share whatever came from those circles – photos, poems, writings, artistic creations. It was so much fun and the energy that we all created together was magical.

It was one of my favorite projects of all times. So it is with great honor that I get to feature Nicole today, and her newest book, The Power of NOTEs: Non-Ordinary Transcendent Experiences Transforming the Way We Live, Love, and Lead.

Nicole has spent over two decades actively exploring human potential. A near-death experience and sudden loss of several family members as a teenager initiated her journey into the  non-ordinary realms and into seeing how ordinary people deal with extraordinary experiences. She’s made it her life mission to help other experiencers navigate their NOTEs so they can make the most of these exceptional events, live their most desired life, and share their gifts with the world.

Her books have been featured in leading Australian wellness magazines and inspired people around the world to dive deep and take soulful action. She combines her experience in teaching, international development, healing arts, counselling, Eastern philosophy, depth and transpersonal psychology, sacred ceremony, and creative expression to inspire grounded personal transformation and intentional collective action.

Carla believes that one person can make a difference to protect, preserve and improve life for people, wildlife and communities in need – and she wants to be that person.

She is involved in many social upliftment and conservation awareness projects across Africa.

In 2016, Carla led South Africa’s first all-women expedition to Kenya, and more recently a second all female expedition called the Rise of the Matriarch in 2018.

She’s creating experiences that have women falling in love with Africa, connecting them to nature and community. She's helping them slow down to the pace of Africa and at the same time bringing more awareness to important conservation issues associated with the wildlife of Africa.

Carla’s passion is inspiring. Her tenacity is powerful. She shares how the poaching crisis in Africa guided Carla to start leading these expeditions. The stats she shares in this interview are astounding. Two park rangers are killed by the poachers in Africa every week and they are slaughtering elephants for their ivory at the rate of one every 15 minutes. She shares the story of some of the brave women on the frontline, and the power and dynamics behind women traveling together with a cause in mind. These expeditions have changed Carla and many other women's lives.
“I just decided that I couldn’t sit back and do nothing about it.” - Carla Geyser
Carla has a passion for making a difference in not only wildlife conservation, but also drives humanitarian efforts for the people she meets. She's is brave and courageous and I can't wait for you to meet her!

She’s one of my very extraordinary clients and she’s doing important work in a field where there aren’t many women. She’s a trailblazer showing up on big stages leading important conversations, and I’m so proud of the work she is doing.

Arezou grew up in Iran amidst the Iran-Iraq war, and she shares her story on how this environment shaped who she is today. During that trying time as a young girl, she discovered her own resiliency. A valuable gift that she counts on in her life today.

"You learn to survive. You learn not to get traumatized by these things." ~ Arezou Zarafshan

Today, Arezou runs the Startup Fundraising Academy, helping companies raise capital efficiently and effectively.

The stats in startup funding are a bit daunting:

Only 2% of the startups that are reviewed by investors get funded
90% of entrepreneurial businesses that do not attract venture capital fail within three years
More than 60% of startups stall in their fundraising

Arezou is on a mission to change these stats and shares some of her wisdom with us today. In our interview, she shares three success factors that helps company succeed in their fundraising efforts, and so much more!

If you are thinking about raising capital for your company or are already doing so, without the success you have desired - I encourage you to check out her new online course, the Startup Fundraising Academy. In this 10-module course, Arezou shares the steps from pre-investment through post-investment stages and teaches the pros and cons of raising funds versus bootstrapping, and covers the various sources of funds. She shares her own regimented process to target and pitch to the right investors. As an Extraordinary Women Radio listener, Arezou has generously extended a 10 percent discount to this course and any of her offerings, simply by using the promotional code Kami. Thank you Arezou!

Arezou is the Managing Partner of a boutique investment firm based in Denver, Colorado, and also on the advisory board for two Colorado startup companies helping them with fundraising and business strategy. She is a passionate and charismatic leader with a reputation for delivering game-changing business results of monumental magnitude. She has over 20 years of experience leading marketing and product development functions for a number of global and national companies. Arezou is recognized for her ability to drive rapid growth for companies that desire to reach the “next level” of scale.

Prior to her current role as an investor and startup advisor, Arezou was the Chief Marketing Officer and Cofounder of Bold Betties, Inc., an early stage startup with minimal presence in the market. Arezou expanded the brand to gain national recognition across a variety of mediums, led the company to scale to 39 chapters across the US and Canada and secured a 300% revenue growth in 12 months. Arezou also was the defining element in raising the Seed capital for the company at its entirety.

Arezou has held critical roles in multinational private, public, and private equity backed corporations such as Hewlett Packard, ACCO Brands, Crocs and Otter Products. In every role and every company, Arezou has driven transformational changes that "moved the needle" for the company, measured in revenue, new customer acquisition, marketshare, category velocity and capital expenditure. Her breadth of influence has varied from early-stage startups to a $2B product portfolio.

Michelle Hoglan is a Breast Cancer survivor. Her journey with cancer - from the initial diagnosis to treatment and beyond – prompted her to start a new organization called the Boob Report.

She shares this story with us today. And she shares how a breast cancer journey can be overwhelming… the fear… the pain… the unknown. Michelle wanted to try and make the journey a little more manageable with a resource that women could turn to when they are going through breast cancer.

The Boob Report guides breast cancer warriors to local doctors, support groups, and general information that she found useful during her journey. But it’s much more than a resource of information… it’s a community. And you know.. I believe in the power of community.

Two years ago as the seeds to this podcast were being planted, I made a list of about 20 women I’d love to interview on Extraordinary Women Radio. Rising Appalachia was at the top of my list. There's something to be said for writing down your goals, my friends!

The harmony of Leah Song and Chloe Smith, the founding sisters of Rising Appalachia, has a sense of deep rootedness, playful exploration, and inspired action.

Their sound and message, suggest that voices and traditions, brought together through song, may be one of the saving graces to a world in distress. As someone who loves music - is touched by music - I feel their work is so important.

In a time when the fabric of our communities and culture often appear to be unraveling, their interweaving of music and mission, old traditions with new interpretations, creates an atmosphere of contagious hope and bliss.

Leah tells so many wonderful stories in this interview! She shares how she and her sister Chloe created an album as a gift to their parent as teenagers, which would unexpectedly launch their career. We talk about how folk story and folk music has shaped the soul-touching songs of Rising Appalachia.

We jam about going slow amidst the growth, and Leah shares for the first time behind the mic, the meaning behind her spiral tattoo. You know I had to ask! I love this interview and felt so blessed to get to interview this soulful sister.
“It feels really like the fabric of our lives to put together stories through all these different tapestry of songs.” - Leah Song
And a big surprise in the end! Leah shares a small snippet of a song that is going to be on their new album! Enjoy!

How often do you have that inner critic voice show up - you’re not enough… smart enough… thin enough… strategic enough… whatever enough…?

Petra is on a mission to help us all remove the idea of our not enough-ness - because we are enough!

One of the pillars of the work I do with my clients is to help them master their mindset. To recognize what’s stories are showing up ... what fears are stopping us … how are we playing small. Petra’s work on detoxing from perfectionism is brilliant.

When we’re stretching into a bigger presence in our brand and visibility, we want to show up at our best – and perhaps what we perceive as our perfect best. But as Petra so eloquently shares with us in this interview, is that people are attracted to our imperfections, not our perfection. Our imperfections make us real. It makes us relatable.

She’s currently helping lead the startup of Skillful, a non-profit initiative of the Markle Foundation, dedicated to enabling all Americans to secure good jobs in a changing economy.  Shannon has been Chief Executive Officer of multiple organizations including World Forward, The Denver Zoo and the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center. Prior to that she was the chief business development officer for Denver Health.

Shannon has moved through lots of change over her career.  The question she asks herself, when she starts to hear a call for change is "What conversation do I want to have with the world?"

I love this question - and it was this question that led her from daily conversations around baby zoo animals to conversations centered around the future skill needs of our nation's workforce.

We talk about her current passion around creating more opportunities for Americans to thrive in the digital economy.

As technology increasingly influences the way we work, Shannon's focus today is to help employers focus on finding the right people faster and keep them longer by changing to a skills-based approach in hiring.
"Technology is changing so fast - we have to remind ourselves to focus on the problem, instead of being so tied into our particular solution. In the future world, we're going to need to iterate a lot and allow ourselves to fail fast." ~Shannon Block
We talk about #MeToo and what male execs might need to do differently today, what it takes to become a woman CEO and why women in STEM is so important! AND we jam on our shared passion for women uplifting women. I love the depth of this interview and you will too!

Shannon currently sits on a number of boards including: Young President’s Organization (YPO) Executive Committee Board as Regional Director; Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center Advisory Board; International Women’s Forum of Colorado Board as Chairman & President; and Children’s Hospital Board, Quality and Safety. In addition, Shannon has won countless awards including being nominated as Entrepreneur of the Year by APEX Technology Awards this year, Outstanding Women in Business Nominee, Denver Business Journal 2017

I love this question - and it was this question that led her from daily conversations around baby zoo animals to conversations centered around the future skill needs of our nation's workforce.

We talk about her current passion around creating more opportunities for Americans to thrive in the digital economy.

As technology increasingly influences the way we work, Shannon's focus today is to help employers focus on finding the right people faster and keep them longer by changing to a skills-based approach in hiring.
"Technology is changing so fast - we have to remind ourselves to focus on the problem, instead of being so tied into our particular solution. In the future world, we're going to need to iterate a lot and allow ourselves to fail fast." ~Shannon Block
We talk about #MeToo and what male execs might need to do differently today, what it takes to become a woman CEO and why women in STEM is so important! AND we jam on our shared passion for women uplifting women. I love the depth of this interview and you will too!

Shannon currently sits on a number of boards including: Young President’s Organization (YPO) Executive Committee Board as Regional Director; Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center Advisory Board; International Women’s Forum of Colorado Board as Chairman & President; and Children’s Hospital Board, Quality and Safety. In addition, Shannon has won countless awards including being nominated as Entrepreneur of the Year by APEX Technology Awards this year, Outstanding Women in Business Nominee, Denver Business Journal 2017
CEO of the Year Finalist, Colorado Technical Association 2016, Top 40 Under 40, Denver Business Journal 2016 and VISIT Denver Tourism Star, 2016.

Geil’s life work has focused on helping people celebrate who they are and recognize the brilliance of their gifts. You can tell why I’m a fan! And I love the Emergenetics work that Geil developed, and will tell you more in the interview.

Emergenetics is the merging of two ideas - our behavior emerging from our life experiences and our genetic traits. Emergenetics provides a clear way to understand this intersection of nature and nurture through the Emergenetics Profile, built on four Thinking Attributes and three Behavioral Attributes that every person exhibits.

Geil’s passion for education led to the creation of the Emergenetics Profile. In our interview today, Geil shares how her passion and early experience as a teacher led her to founding Emergenetics. She thought her passion was teaching, but she realizes now is that her passion is all about helping people understand their gifts.

"We have to educate ourselves about that which we are passionate about." ~Geil Browning

But more important than this, Geil shares her story of resiliency. In 2003, at the height of her career, Geil had a stroke. This set-back ended up teaching her a lot about herself, her company and her relationships, and she shares this journey with us in the interview today. It was this personal growth that led to her latest book on leadership Work That Works.
"Leadership Is An Inside Job - Know Yourself. ~Geil Riding
Dr. Browning has been recognized as Colorado’s Outstanding Entrepreneurial Woman of the Year by the Women’s Vision Foundation. In 2003, The Denver Business Journal honored her as one of Colorado's Outstanding Women in Businesswoman of the Year. In 2014, Emergenetics International was named one of the top 50 Colorado Companies to Watch by The Denver Business Journal. Emergenetics has been recognized by Inc.

Ceal has been a figure here in Colorado for all of my adult-life! I watched her career, cheered on her winning women’s teams and generally been in awe of her. She is one of the most winning coaches in women’s NCAA history, and it was an honor to get to spend time with her. In our interview, we talk about leadership, life and the importance of having a set of guiding principles in our life.

Bringing over three decades of leadership and guidance to the CU Athletic Department, legendary women's basketball coach Ceal Barry is in her fourteenth season as the school's Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Women’s Administrator.

In her 36th year overall at CU, Barry's Deputy AD duties include sport oversight for all sport programs and Title IX/Gender Equity responsibilities for the Department of Athletics. She began the administrative chapter of her illustrious career on April 1, 2005, just one month after completing a storied 22-year coaching career (1983-05). Barry retired having coached the most games, matches or tournaments (669) and the sixth most seasons of any sport in Colorado athletic history. Her 427 victories are also the most by any coach at the school.

Barry logged a 427-242 record at Colorado with 12 NCAA tournament appearances, including six times in the Sweet 16 and three times in the Elite Eight, 13 20-win seasons, four conference championships and five postseason tournament titles.

She became just the 24th coach in women's NCAA history to reach 500 career wins-hitting the plateau in February 2004-and her all-time record of 510-284 and .642 winning percentage remain among the all-time best. Her teams posted a 191-134 record in conference play, as 13 of her teams finished first, second or third in the league standings for the regular season. Off the court, Barry graduated all but two four-year players (well over a 95% graduation rate) and has coached 85 Academic All-Conference student-athletes.
"You have to be who you are every day." ~Ceal Barry

Alyssa Mathews is a lifelong equestrian and adventure addict, and in 2017, she set out on an adventure to ride every breed of horse in the world, in her quest: Discover the Horse. And so far, she’s ridden over 50 different breeds in seven different countries, and she’s being recognized across the globe for her passion and her pursuit.

She has been planning this quest for over a decade and if you love beauty and passion, like I do, you’ll want to check out her Discover the Horse website or her Facebook page which is full of video and story, as she’s meeting the extraordinary horses and their owners along the way.

As moves through this journey, Alyssa is working with a non profit rare breeds organization to promote and bring awareness to several of the endangered breeds. When the project is finished, it will be the largest equine education project of its kind.

Alyssa’s hope is that this project will show the world what our amazing horses do for us. Many of you know that I lead equine vision journeys – retreats to help women discover their passions, their purpose and raise up how they’re showing up in the world. The horses provide such a magical way for people to expand their dreams – as our mirror, as our guide and providing space for our own inner work.

And over the years, I have seen the horses transform my clients lives… to bring the biggest ah ha moments that would forever shape their what’s next in their life and business… to uncover the thing that’s been keeping them stuck… to break through an underlying fear that has had them playing small… My coaching work has always been powerful… but the retreats… are breakthrough experiences. There is so much magic and wisdom horses can bring to us. To learn more visit Equine Vision Journey Retreats or meet my own herd here.

Jayne’s story of transition from over 25 in the corporate world to doing the work she does today is awesome. She shares how scientific hand analysis was the catalyst that helped her find clarity - helped her find her purpose. And her life hasn’t been the same since!

Hand analysis you might ask? Well, let me tell you this isn’t the palm reading of yesteryear. This is a field of scientific study that is growing in use and regard by therapists, counselors and even neurologists and geneticists. It’s fascinating.

Hand analysis can bring meaningful insight into our emotional health, our innate life purpose, our outlook, and our overall tendencies, all which can be found in the prints of our hands. The lines in our hands mirror the neural pathways in our brains.

How powerful is Scientific Hand Analysis, you might ask? It is so accurate, profound, and life-changing that FORBES wrote an article about Jayne and her work.

In our interview today, Jayne tells us more about scientific hand analysis and why it’s so accurate!

And Meghann – I’m thrilled to say is on fire right now in her business and her life. She’s in the flow. She made some pretty big shifts in her life in the past year though – she had to let go of the things that weren’t serving her - the things, as she says, “that had to be left behind” in order to get to her BHAG – her big hairy audacious goal.

Meghann is vulnerable in sharing her story today.

Nine months ago, she felt called to leave alcohol behind – for her life, her relationships and for where she wanted to take her company.

And when she made the decision – life shifted, her business shifted and she shifted. Her raw story of struggle opened the door to huge transformative expansion. I love sharing her courageous story with you.

What I particularly love about Meghann’s story is how she totally trusted her inner guidance – the universal clues that were guiding her. It was in this trust that the flow came for Meghann.

Meghann is a marketing and branding expert who specializes in helping companies led by female industry leaders leap over revenue targets. Meghann is also the founder of The Dames, a national community that celebrates high-level leaders in nonprofits and corporations. Meghann is a champion of connection, and believes that anything can be accomplished through fearless collaboration and laughter.

What I particularly love about Meghann’s story is how she totally trusted her inner guidance – the universal clues that were guiding her. It was in this trust that the flow came for Meghann.

Meghann is a marketing and branding expert who specializes in helping companies led by female industry leaders leap over revenue targets. Meghann is also the founder of The Dames, a national community that celebrates high-level leaders in nonprofits and corporations. Meghann is a champion of connection, and believes that anything can be accomplished through fearless collaboration and laughter.

To learn more about Meghann and her work, visit her Meghann Conter website or follow her on Facebook or Twitter. You can also check out the Dames website or Facebook group.

Let’s meet Meghann Conter!

Her journey to break barriers, as a first-generation high school and college graduate – is filled with stories of mentors and others who reached out to help raise her up. Today, at the pinnacle of her career as a judge, Christine makes the space and time to raise up others with her non-profit, Law School…Yes We Can (Sí Se Puede), a law school mentoring program.

Prior to her presidential appointment to the bench, Judge Arguello’s career included partnership at two private law firms, Holland & Hart LLP and Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP – and she also served as Chief Deputy Attorney General of Colorado.

In our interview, Christine shares that it’s our responsibility to reach out and help another climb the next mountain before them, and shares a stanza from a poem called Success, “To know that one life has breathed easier – this is to have succeeded.

My invitation to you… how will you help raise up those around you in the coming months? Make space to ponder this question as we start to embark upon the Fall season that will upon us soon.

After being on the talking circuit for her book Stand Out, speaking around the world on how to become a thought leader and recognized expert, Dorie had an epiphany that led to her next book, Entrepreneurial You. She realized that being a thought leader wasn't sufficient - you have to learn to monetize that high repute.

While she still believes that it is essential in today's modern economy to build a brand as a recognized leader in our field so that we're not a commodity, she knew there was more to building a successful business. So she set out to talk to 50 leading entrepreneurs on the subject.

What Dorie learned from those interviews, was there's not one way - people are succeeding in a lot of ways. The key, however, is that they have multiple income streams. The entrepreneurs that she spoke to had mastered the skill of managing multiple income streams, which provided resiliency in the downturns, and provided much more upside.

As Dorie shares in our interview, "If you want to solve a problem, ask a lot a people." Dorie did that, and then she applied that to her own business. By applying the techniques she learned in writing Entrepreneurial You, Dorie brought an additional $193,700 of revenue in the same year she wrote the book.

This interview is a must for entrepreneurs interested who are ready to take their business to the next level. We talk about building a business aligned to who you are, best practices in building online courses, transition and more. Dorie has so much wisdom to share.

Dorie is an adjunct professor at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and the author of Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You and Stand Out, which was named the #1 Leadership Book of 2015 by Inc. magazine. A former presidential campaign spokeswoman, the New York Times described her as an “expert at self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives.”

A frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, Dorie consults and speaks for clients including Google, Microsoft, and the World Bank. She is also a producer of a multiple Grammy-award-winning jazz album. You can download her free Entrepreneurial You self-assessment workbook and learn more at dorieclark.com/entrepreneur.

Joanne shared, “In general, I’m looking for really smart, scrappy founders that have tenacity, that are out of the box, and are survivors.”

Joanne has had many careers before she found her way into angel investment, and she shares some of her reinvention stories in our interview today. She believes that necessity is not only the mother of invention but also of constant reinvention because as an individual, a company, or brand, you have to be able to think ahead to stay ahead of the curve. Sometimes, what you think of as a misfortune, like losing a job, is actually a blessing in disguise.

Joanne co-founded the Women’s Entrepreneur Festival in 2011 which is a conference for a community of women entrepreneurs. While the Festival was put on hold for a few years, she's currently working with Brazen to bring it back in 2019.  At the end of the day, what she hopes for women is equality in consideration of your unique multi-layered dimensions.

She has maintained her very popular blog, gothamgal.com for over 13 years and has recently taken her talents to the airwaves on her podcast, Positively Gotham Gal, as another medium for having profound conversations with women. And if there are three pearls of wisdom she wants to impart to women, it would be self-awareness, trusting your gut, and following your heart.

Michelle and I have known this for some time. We love to get together over a cup and jam on our passion for doing business in a different way! I always leave these conversations feeling jazzed and I think you will fill into this today!

We have a passion for creating business that is in the flow and not in the hustle. As she shares in the interview, Michelle believes that you do not need a break down in order to have a break thru, but instead she chooses ease and grace and flow vs. struggle.

She acknowledges that growing your business takes effort and focus BUT it can be way easier if you show up differently. It’s all about being energetically aligned with what you want. When you devote time and energy to what matters most to you, the universe aligns to meet you.

She shares her story of how she really listened to the answers that came to her in a journaling exercise back in 2008, and dramatically shifted what she was doing in her profession. She courageously stepped into doing things she had never done before because she trusted the wisdom the Universe flowed to her. It's a brilliant story and it took her down her own pathway to her purpose.

Michelle also shares her work around the Twelve Energetic Relationships that we can incorporate into our lives to play with the energy of the Universe and Source in our life. It's good stuff!

Michelle is a Business and Branding coach who marries strategy and spirituality. She is the founder and creator of the Be365 Body of Work, The creator of The Authentic Signature Style and Vision Process.

As I look at all Michelle stands for – I catch myself saying… Yes… Yes… Yes!!!

And today she shares some of her brilliant teachings on how you can manifest more in your life! I am thrilled to introduce you to Michelle and all her wonderful wisdom. Let’s meet Michelle Vos!

And on top of all of this - Her work has been the center of peacemaking efforts in some of the most challenging war-torn regions of the world.

The principles that Jamie shares with us in this interview – about becoming centered and aligned helps us find a peaceful inner power – one where we’re completely present in our body, our head and our voice. Her work helps people discover the body-mind keys and tools to work, play and be their best – for their own peak performance. Making the world a better place for everyone. Yes, Jamie is certainly a changemaker.

Known by her clients as Jamie Sensei, Jamie is a pioneer in blending ancient eastern wisdom with modern western disciplines for self-mastery and peak performance in all things life, leadership and even golf. This interview is rich with somatic wisdom and how you can apply it in your own life and business.

And what’s really extraordinary, is that Jamie has brought her teaching to the Middle East Aikido Project to help unite Israelis and Palestinians through the Martial Art of Peace. Arabs and Jews are now meeting on the mat to explore non-violent conflict resolution and possibilities for peace.
Jamie Sensei brings a rare combination of knowledge, insight and creativity to sports, business, personal growth, and to learning itself. She is acclaimed worldwide for her dynamic teaching style and unique gifts in guiding people to newfound well-being and success.

In this interview we talk about energy and how important (and sometimes difficult) it can be to truly be IN our body, despite the fact, that our body is the one thing that is with us from the minute we are born until the minute we die.
We are energy. We are the stewards of our energy. We are in charge of our energy. ~Jamie 'Sensei' Leno Zimron

Krystal was on my Extraordinary Women Connect stage last Fall, and I'm on a panel at Krystal's Women of Denver Quarterly Networking party this coming Saturday evening, which I understand brings 150 women together in a single evening. And then I speak at her monthly Women of Denver meeting on June 21 on "The Brand of You: Igniting Your Presence, Purpose and Profile as a Change Maker." You can learn more about both of these events here. Come join us - it would be great to see you there!

Denver is such a happening place for female entrepreneurs with several growing and collaborative groups like Women of Denver, my own Extraordinary Women Connect, The Dames, eWoman Network Denver, FemCity Denver and others. I'm in awe of all the collaboration and ways Denver women entrepreneurs are coming together to uplift one another! It's a pretty cool energy of incubation and support.

As a PR and branding expert, Krystal has a strong passion and belief that now is the time for women to take the lead! We dig into how women can make an impact in the world, Krystal expressed, "Go speak it. Put yourself out there right. Put it in words." In our interview, she drops all kinds of tips on getting into the media, including how important it is to build a story that links your philosophies and ideas to what is going on in the world right now - make it newsworthy. She tell us "That's what will get you interviews!"

She shares her story of starting Women of Denver in 2014, just jumping in and doing it! As she shares in the interview, "I had to let go of the idea that THEY had all the answers for me, and that only I had the answers for me." She's a risk taker, a doer and a bright and shiny young star in the Denver community. And she's so full of wisdom! Here are a few of her insights:

When you are doing the things that feel good, time feels different, you experience life with more fullness, you are just energized
Believe in the changes that you want to see happen
Life goes in waves, just like sounds and just like water. There will be ups and downs, and be sure to have a plan for the lows in life.

Krystal is a TEDx presenter, a national speaker and trainer and a regular Forbes contributor.

This may be my first podcast interview that I have ended up in tears. Her stories are truly heart touching, and it is within these stories, as Hope shares – that yoga found her – and transformed her life to finding her purpose.

The pillars of Hope's mission are Breath, Body, and Belief. In our interview today, Hope shares her wisdom on how the mind operates, how the body works, and how our beliefs can affect our mental health and our wellness overall – and the success we find in life.

I think Hope and I were meant to meet, and in the midst of this interview the idea drops in that we should be planning a retreat together, and I’m just going to say I’m all in! We’re so aligned in so many ways – even our written purpose – which I’ll leave as a surprise to come out in the interview.

Some of the key insights Hope shares includes:

Breath is the first thing your given in life and the last to be taken away and you only get one life
Whatever your next thing is, just do it, get out there and do it
Turn off headphones and walk each day
Ideas come better if you slow down and listen, let nature in
Step out but also step inward

Wendy is a friend of my son Josh, who I had the opportunity to meet last summer when I was visiting. I fell in love with Wendy the moment I met her, and you will too!

In our interview, she tells the story of how she and her brothers started this company from the seedlings of a dream, and what’s it’s like to be a woman in the very male dominated steel industry.

If you drive around the thriving city of Portland, many of the rising skyscrapers you see are being built by Mt. Hood Steel & Wood. And not only is Wendy a make-it-happen business owner in the steel industry… She’s also an incredible rock climber and we dig into some of the lessons that climbing teaches her, and how they parallel running a $1 million+ steel company!

Wendy is an advocate for more women stepping into the construction industry! She shares, "Women can make a really good living being a welder, electrician or plumber with great benefits. Women are strong enough and tough enough to be out there. And from my experience, women’s pay in the construction world is equal to men's." That was exciting news to me!

Wendy's story from humble beginnings to all she's doing today is inspiring and uplifting!

For those of you tuning in – from Portland – mark your calendars and come meet both Wendy and I on July 18th, when I’ll be speaking at the Portland eWoman Network monthly meeting.

In our interview today, Michelle shares how her life experiences as a former international runway model and former Ms. Colorado shaped her passion for helping women of all ages find their inner beauty – a mission she carries out in her model-coaching and confidence building company - Positive Presence, LLC.

Suffering from anorexia, bulimia and living through an attempted suicide as an international runway model, Michelle hopes to use her experience in the modeling industry and her passion for philanthropy to simply make a positive difference in the life of others.  She combines these disparate worlds—modeling & philanthropy.

In our interview, we dig into how to break through fear (false evidence appearing real), the not enoughism that we all can run into on a daily basis, leading change in in an industry that isn't necessarily looking for change and the power of positivity. Michelle’s mission is to masterfully motivate all ages to lead a positive life and inspire others to do the same! I’m smiling through this whole interview – because we are so aligned in what we’re putting into the world. A bit of a soul-sisterhood I believe.

In her career as a model, philanthropist, emcee, spokesperson and public speaker, Michelle has appeared on radio, television, billboards and in print in over 10 different states.
Be unapologetically authentic. Find what makes you happy and do more of that. Your authenticity is directly correlated to our happiness. ~Michelle Marie King

Haley started her first global non-profit and wrote her first book at age 18, and is in the midst of starting her second non-profit – Her Big IDEA Foundation. She also will be a key team member on The Next Gen Summit - leading a community of 2000 entrepreneurs to their success. Her second book Her Big Idea will launch on June 11 – shortly after she graduates from Brown University in May.

At Brown, Haley studied how women develop their sense of self agency in entrepreneurship and venture capital for her honors' thesis. She also created the first-ever women's entrepreneurship incubator to help female students bring their ideas from concept to reality.

Haley's research around the impact of women in leadership, on boards and in venture capital firms was recently published in Forbes. She has huge passion for shining light on women's presence on a board boosts the bottom line. She shared the  research from the venture capital firm, First Round Capital who did a 10-year study on all the companies they invested in during that time period. The research showed that the companies with at least one woman on the board generated about 65% more ROI than companies with no women on the board.

Haley has a passion for opening up opportunities for other women and helping them find the partnering and resources to launch their own companies. This is a rich delightful conversation of courage and bravery, self love and vulnerability, success and 'perceived' failure, and getting up and doing it all over again anyway.

"You don't learn anything from success." ~Haley Hoffman Smith

Haley is dynamic and there is no doubt in my mind that we need to take note of her name – because there will be a time when we say about Haley Hoffman Smith – I remember her when. She’s got an impact to make – I promise!

Kate shares what it was like to raise $2.2 million in the tech world as a woman, and gives some good advice to my listeners who are raising capital. We talk about marketing that creates real connection and community in business. Kate shares how she listens to her intuition and how important it is to just show up as ourselves. It’s a fun interview and I know you’re going to love this!

As a former marketing agency owner, Kate, initially created the idea for Lately out of spreadsheets for then-client, Walmart. Well, not just Walmart. It was a partnership between Walmart, United Way Worldwide, National Disability Institute, and tens of thousands of local, small business and nonprofit affiliates who were all using her spreadsheet system – because they all had the same problems: a lack of coordination, widespread redundancies, no visibility and no organization. With Kate’s spreadsheet system, they achieved a 130%, three year, year-over-year ROI.

In fact, Kate found similar success with all of her clients, regardless of industry or company size. So, along with one heck of a superhero team, she created Lately to organize the mess, automate repetitive processes and eliminate the "overwhelming" feeling that every marketer she'd ever met had complained about. As a former VP of marketing - I get this. As a CEO of my own company - I really get this. I love Lately.

Prior to founding Lately, Kate served 20 million listeners as Music Director and on-air host at Sirius/XM. She’s also an award-winning radio producer, engineer and voice talent with 25 years of national broadcast communications, brand-building, sales and marketing expertise.

Dr. Gail Schoettler has been a U.S. Ambassador, Colorado’s Lt. Governor and State Treasurer, Douglas County school board president, and a successful businesswoman.

She narrowly lost her race for governor of Colorado in 1998.

That was the same year Dottie Lamm ran for US Senate. Since that time, not a single woman has run for governor or US senate in Colorado until this year... Listen to what Gail has to say about this. It's a great interview.

I think this is going to change. As I was preparing for this interview, I ran into this statistic... "During the full 2016 election cycle 920 women contacted EMILY's List, an organization that recruits and trains women to run for office. And that was a record year. Since Election Day 2016, more than 34,000 women have reached out to Emily's List about launching a campaign." Hmmm... do you think times are a changing?

Gail shares advice on how women can get involved in politics, about her lessons that she learned in her many years of politics, and why it's so important right now.

She is particularly passionate about women running for governor and US Senator across the country, strongly believing that when women support women, women win. She co-founded Electing Women and the Electing Women Alliance to get women involved in raising money for women running for governor and US Senator across the country, strongly believing that when women support women, women win.

I love Gail's perspective on our current political environment.
The only way to be successful in politics, is to look for ways to be inclusive and find compromise and begin to listen to one another. There's too many people saying, 'it's my way or no way.' That's really scary. You can't solve problems with that. ~Gail Schoettler
In 1976 Gail joined the organizational group which would file for a National Bank to be located in downtown Denver to serve the needs of small businesses.  After raising the $2 million capitalization required, in 1978, she helped found the Women’s Bank in Denver. She was also one of the founders of the Colorado Children's Museum.

Let’s meet Gail Schoettler, a 2018 inductee to the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame!

"During the full 2016 election cycle 920 women contacted EMILY's List, an organization that recruits and trains women to run for office. And that was a record year. Since Election Day 2016, more than 34,000 women have reached out to Emily's List about launching a campaign." Hmmm... do you think times are a changing?

Gail shares advice on how women can get involved in politics, about her lessons that she learned in her many years of politics, and why it's so important right now.

She is particularly passionate about women running for governor and US Senator across the country, strongly believing that when women support women, women win. She co-founded Electing Women and the Electing Women Alliance to get women involved in raising money for women running for governor and US Senator across the country, strongly believing that when women support women, women win.

I love Gail's perspective on our current political environment.
The only way to be successful in politics, is to look for ways to be inclusive and find compromise and begin to listen to one another. There's too many people saying, 'it's my way or no way.' That's really scary. You can't solve problems with that. ~Gail Schoettler
In 1976 Gail joined the organizational group which would file for a National Bank to be located in downtown Denver to serve the needs of small businesses.  After raising the $2 million capitalization required, in 1978, she helped found the Women’s Bank in Denver. She was also one of the founders of the Colorado Children's Museum.

Let’s meet Gail Schoettler, a 2018 inductee to the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame!

So many extraordinary women. So many extraordinary conversations. So much wisdom they shared. In every interview this year, our conversations have been rich, the stories shared…  deep and wisdom filled. My guests have opened their hearts and shared their most vulnerable moments. They’ve shared heart break and they’ve shared success. All of them have been inspirational.

At the end of every episode, my 43 guests brought three pearls of wisdom. Their responses have been profound, thought provoking and foundational principles that can truly shape our journeys, if only we apply them.

This week, my team compiled these pearls of wisdom into a single document that you can download. That is 129 pearls of wisdom gathered from some very extraordinary women. You will want to grab this one. It’s something that you’ll be able to turn to again and again. I’m going to keep a copy of this in my journal for reflection on a daily basis.

As I sat down to start to reflect on all the amazing gifts and great wisdom that flowed my way as a result of the 43 interviews I’ve done this year, I was filled with gratitude and appreciation that this actually has come to be a part of my own journey.

Today I’m going to do things a little differently. I felt like it was important to slow down and reflect on what I’ve learned in this first year of wisdom-filled interviews.  I’m going to share it with you today. AND Within this list, I’ve woven in some of my favorite quotes from my guests.

I have this passion women sharing their voice. Your voice matters and you need to step up and do the work you are meant to do on this earth. Make a commitment to yourself that there will be no playing small in the work you do… that you’ll find the clarity in what you stand for… and the courage to really matter.

And then let’s all join arm-and-arm and step up together, because together we are stronger.

So you see why I’m so passionate about this podcast - what a gift! Thanks for celebrating with me today. I’d love to hear your favorite episode or lesson you’ve learned this year from Extraordinary Women Radio.

She’s changemaker, a doer – and makes things happen – all while moving across the country with her wife and starting a family!

In this interview, we talk about how she grew the company so quickly, about life and family. She shares how the "the second that I was real and raw about who I was as a human, everything started to take shape for me. Its amazing what you get back, when you show up as your true authentic self."

Paige founded her company on a philosophy that people are the center point of all successful missions and programs.  Point Solutions Group provides innovative solutions in information technology, engineering, and professional services for government and commercial organizations on issues of national and global significance.

Paige and I met at a leadership conference last Fall, where we were fortunate to get to sit next to one another. Since then,  we’ve shared multitudes of connections, Paige participated on my Circle of Inspiration Panel at my January Extraordinary Women Connect event – with two other CEOs of rapidly growing companies, and the collaborative relationship continues.

It epitomizes a win:win connection and collaboration of what can happen when women support one another. There is so much power in this my friends.

This is a perfect interview to share on International Women's Day - because today, we celebrate how women can uplift one another. How together, we are stronger. As Leslie Foster said last week in her Extraordinary Women Radio interview, "One women is strong… two women is like three … three women are like nine." Yes, we are strong and so much better when we work together.

Today, I invite each of you to connect with the strength of women in your community. Uplift each other and then get out and do the work you're meant to do on this earth!
All we have is now. There is no better time than now.

Leslie has been helping women get off the streets of Denver for 30 years. She has passionately worked to influence local decision-makers’ conversations about the homeless population in Denver and how organizations provide services to women and children experiencing poverty or homelessness. Leslie is being inducted into the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame this year and for good reason.

In this interview, we talk about the strength of women – and how our strength multiplies exponentially – one women is strong… two women is like three … three women are like nine. Yes, we are strong and so much better when we work together.

We talk about women in the homeless population and how we can best lend a hand to make a difference.

Leslie was named the 2010 Community Leader of the Year by Community Shares of Colorado, and in 2008, she received the Swanee Hunt Individual Leadership Award from The Denver Foundation and Hunt Alternatives Fund. She has also received the "Woman of the Year" award from the Colorado Business and Professional Women, and the "Foremother of the Year" award from the Colorado Women’s Agenda. Leslie currently serves on Denver’s Mayor Hancock’s Commission to Address Homelessness and was the chair of the Committee on Youth and Families.

And it wasn’t all a simple and easy path to get there. Heidi has faced extraordinary adversity in her life. Beginning with the loss of her husband at the age of 27, to losing a million-dollar insurance settlement, her entrepreneurial spirit helped her pick herself up and build a $100 million brand in the pet and franchise industry – Camp Bow Wow.

In fact she’s well known for her Ted Talk called the Art of the Comeback, where she shares this powerful comeback story.

Today she shares this journey she took and the lessons she learned along the way. In fact one of the things that struck me in this interview – was the most timely wisdom I’d heard all week – if not all year!

“Be the best you can be at what you’re doing at the time, and forgive yourself for not being the best at everything all the time. You’ve got to let go of that.”

The next day I wrote about this wisdom in my blog "Yesterday I broke."  Such timely words for me on that day.

Camp Bow Wow was named to the Inc 500/5000 fastest growing company list five years in a row. Heidi has been named one of Fortune Magazine’s 10 Most Promising Entrepreneurs and Parade magazine called her one of the top women entrepreneurs in the country.

And she’s not done yet! She’s about ready to launch her next entrepreneurial venture the She Factor - which is all about women and dreams! Heidi shares more about this in the interview!

This interview is filled with so many great bits of wisdom, including:

To comeback giveback
On Passion: If you don’t absolutely love what you’re doing and jump out of bed every morning to get to work, it’s not worth doing. This is the difference of being a huge success and just getting by. But... you can’t just be passionate about something – you have to solve a problem.
Stop apologizing for capitalism and free markets and embrace it. Fall back in love with what makes America an incredibly cool place.
We're going to fail - brush it off.
In the world of fake news, the only one you can trust is yourself and your intuition (she jokes).

Sounds True started out as a project with Tami – and her tape recorder thirty years ago. Since that time, Sounds True has grown into a multimedia publishing company with more than 80 employees, a library of more than 1500 titles featuring some of the leading teachers and visionaries of our time.

Tami has interviewed leading teachers such as Michael Bernard Beckwith, David Whyte, and Geneen Roth—delving deep into their beliefs, teachings, and personal experiences on their own journeys for many years.

And like so many of the interviews I get to do on Extraordinary Women Radio, Tami’s interview divinely occurred at a time when I needed her flavor of wisdom most. This week, I posted a blog called “Yesterday I broke,” which described a difficult day earlier this week, but more important, the important life lesson that unfolded in the perils of that day.

In that day, and in my reflections, I leaned back into the wisdom Tami shared in this interview. I practiced some of her teachings from her audio program Being True: What Matters Most in Work, Life, and Love, that I’d been listening to these past few weeks – in preparation for this interview.

And yes, I did break on that day. My heart cracked wide open. And in the multitude of breaks in the perfect storm that occurred over the day, I remembered the practice of the pause, of slowing down, of writing. In that pause, I had a discovery. I learned an important thing:

"That in the very cracking open of my heart, love filled in the crevasses."

I was so grateful to have some of Tami’s practices so top of mind and heart these past few days.

My hope is that the messages Tami shares in this interview are as divinely delivered to you, in perfect timing, as they were for me.

I love how she’s weaving research into her work – and she shares some really interesting insights throughout our interview how research is guiding her work. She believes that through everyday acts of courage, we can learn how to develop a new relationship with power, get comfortable with fear, and step into our authentic leadership.

And in fact she’s so passionate about this – she’s in the process of co-developing a school called the {Re}Finishing School for Brave Women. Yes, this is a twist on the antiquated view of the old finishing schools. Alexis brings this concept into the modern-day age of empowering women with courage - helping women let go of belief systems that no longer serve us. Thus the {Re}Finishing concept.

Alexis has a brilliant way of understanding what the research shows – how we limit ourselves, how we perceive language – and her work helps women step up and lead in bigger and bold ways. I love this.

Alexis Kanda-Olmstead is the founder of AKO Collective and co-architect of {Re}Finishing School for Brave Women. Outside of women’s development, Alexis is the lead for talent management at Colorado State University, a wife and partner, mother of two, and social activist.

Susan is part of my series featuring the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame 2018 Inductees.

This is an interview full of stories of space travel and the lessons that accompanied it. Apparently, you can learn a lot about life when you spend nearly 5 months aboard a space station with only 3 others aboard the international space station. There's lots of time to ponder the wonders of the world and the wonders of the Universe. We talk about humanity, life, following your dreams, working hard, training hard and being ready.

Here are a few of the golden nuggets from Susan:

"Humankind is really all one family as opposed to different countries."
"Confidence and competency goes such a long way, as a currency, especially for women struggling with biases."
"Payoff comes from the journey, not the destination."

Susan was a member of the first class at the Air Force Academy to include women. Lieutenant General Helms was commissioned from the US Air Force Academy in 1980, the first class to admit women into the ranks of the cadet corps. Upon graduation, she served as an F-15 and F-16 weapons separation engineer and a flight test engineer. Following completion of her Masters of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, she served on the Faculty of the US Air Force Academy in the Department of Aeronautics. She was subsequently selected to attend the USAF Test Pilot School, Flight Test Engineer Course, Edwards AFB, CA, completing the year long school as a Distinguished Graduate. After graduation, she served as project officer on the CF-18 aircraft as a U.S. Air Force Exchange Officer to the Canadian Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment, at Cold Lake AFB, Alberta, Canada. As a flight test engineer, Lt Gen (R) Helms has flown in 30 types of U.S. and Canadian military aircraft.

Selected by NASA in January 1990, Lieutenant General Helms became an astronaut in July 1991. On Jan. 13, 1993, then an Air Force major and a member of the space shuttle Endeavour crew, she became the first U.S. military woman in space. She flew on STS-54 (1993), STS-64 (1994), STS-78 (1996) and STS-101 (2000), and served aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as a member of the Expedition-2 crew (2001).

After 12 years at NASA, Lieutenant General Helms transferred to Air Force Space Command in 2002. Over the next 12 years, she served in numerous staff positions and commanded the 45th Space Wing at Cape Canaveral AFS, FL. Her staff assignments include tours at Headquarters Air Force Space Command, Air Education and Training Command, and U.S. Strategic Command, where she was the Director of Plans and Policy (J5). Upon promotion to Lieutenant General, she commanded the 14th Air Force (AF Space Command) and the Joint Functional Component Command for Space (US Strategic Command), in a dualhat position at Vandenberg AFB, CA. As the U.S. Air Force’s operational space component to USSTRATCOM, Lt Gen Helms led more than 20,500 personnel responsible for providing missile warning, space superiority, space situational awareness, satellite operations, space launch and range operations. As Commander, JFCC SPACE, she directed all assigned and attached space forces providing tailored, responsive, local and global space effects in support of national and combatant commander objectives. Lieutenant General Helms retired from military service in 2014.

Helms - the first U.S. military woman in space! Susan is a retired Air Force lieutenant general and astronaut who was a crewmember on four...
Susan is part of my series featuring the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame 2018 Inductees.

This is an interview full of stories of space travel and the lessons that accompanied it. Apparently, you can learn a lot about life when you spend nearly 5 months aboard a space station with only 3 others aboard the international space station. There's lots of time to ponder the wonders of the world and the wonders of the Universe. We talk about humanity, life, following your dreams, working hard, training hard and being ready.

Here are a few of the golden nuggets from Susan:

"Humankind is really all one family as opposed to different countries."
"Confidence and competency goes such a long way, as a currency, especially for women struggling with biases."
"Payoff comes from the journey, not the destination."

Susan was a member of the first class at the Air Force Academy to include women. Lieutenant General Helms was commissioned from the US Air Force Academy in 1980, the first class to admit women into the ranks of the cadet corps. Upon graduation, she served as an F-15 and F-16 weapons separation engineer and a flight test engineer. Following completion of her Masters of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, she served on the Faculty of the US Air Force Academy in the Department of Aeronautics. She was subsequently selected to attend the USAF Test Pilot School, Flight Test Engineer Course, Edwards AFB, CA, completing the year long school as a Distinguished Graduate. After graduation, she served as project officer on the CF-18 aircraft as a U.S. Air Force Exchange Officer to the Canadian Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment, at Cold Lake AFB, Alberta, Canada. As a flight test engineer, Lt Gen (R) Helms has flown in 30 types of U.S. and Canadian military aircraft.

This book is a treasure trove of how to live a life full of joy. We talk about mindfulness, meditation and intimacy with your SELF. We talk about the importance of knowing yourself from that deep inside place, and how the Universe can get all in behind you – and open all kinds of doors when you have that knowing of who you are.

Agapi has a wise approach to life and we’re so aligned in our own inner truths and perhaps, even how we are both meant to making a difference on this earth!

Agapi is a best-selling author and speaker who has inspired audiences around the world. In her previous book, Unbinding the Heart: A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love, she shares the wisdom from her life’s adventures and experiences. I love this book – there are so many beautiful, funny and memorable stories that teaches us so much about life!

Agapi was born and raised in Athens, Greece. At age 18, she entered the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and later moved to the United States to do film and television. In her books and in our interview, Agapi shares that acting didn’t quite work out the way she wanted it to – and in hindsight now, it’s pretty easy to see that the Universe had other plans for her.  The Universe kept dropping in the clues and pathways that led her to a different journey. I love stories like this.

While her sister, Arianna Huffington, was doing research for her book about Greek mythology, Agapi’s love for the gods and goddesses was ignited and led to Agapi’s own first two books—Conversations with the Goddesses and Gods and Goddesses in Love. In addition her journey led her to creating a one-woman show and a PBS special – Conversations with the Goddesses.
"Joy is an inner stream that is bubbling all the time" ~Agapi Stassinopoulos
Agapi has been featured on Oprah.com, HuffPost Live, CBS’s The Talk, and The Martha Stewart Show, among many others. She has spoken at conferences for the American Heart Association, The Spirit of Women, the Whole Foods Leadership Academy, Time Inc., the Girl Scouts of America, TEDx, Wisdom 2.0 Conference, Nike, Starbucks, Kaiser Permanente, and many more.
"Inhabit your heart." ~Agapi Stassinopoulos

If you'd like her 68 Tips of Agapi for Joyful Living and her free guided meditation, email Agapi her at Agapi@unbindingtheheart.com. In addition, Agapi mentions a video in our interview of her speaking at the World Domination Summit and you can watch it here. And if you're in New York City on February 1st, join Agapi at Love Who You Are, Create What You Want: an interactive workshop with Agapi to awaken your joy and set your intentions for 2018.

Fay wakes up every day and looks at a sticky note in her mirror that she’s written to herself: "You have to be the change you want to see in the world.”

And in fact, she often tells herself, "If not me - then who!?" Such an important question for each of us to ask ourselves when we declare that something needs to change in our world. Fay lives by this concept: Be the change we desire in the world!

From the beginning of her career, Fay worked in a male‐dominated field as a woman of Asian descent and faced the daily challenge of proving herself as a professional and as an equal. She was inspired by these challenges to start charitable foundations that are so well funded to this day they provide annual scholarships and other charitable contributions to women and individuals of Asian descent.

Fay is an accomplished attorney with a reputation for professionalism and integrity who has dedicated her life and career to furthering the interests of women and those of Asian Pacific descent.

She is a founding member of the Colorado Asian Pacific American Bar Association, founder of the Colorado Asian Pacific Bar Foundation, and was instrumental in forming the Colorado Women’s Bar Association Foundation - all with a focus to promote gender and race equality through mentoring, granting scholarships, fighting discrimination, training and education.

Today, Fay practices law at the Doida Law Group. She is one of the few female subject matter experts in securities law with her level of seniority and experience. Her civic engagement, humility, courage under adversity, work ethic, and her contributions to the Colorado community exemplify the values of the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame – and I’m honored to get to interview Fay today on Extraordinary Women Radio.

Some key words of wisdom that Fay shares in this interview:

"Sometimes we are led to difficult situations, because that is the only way we grow."
"Don’t compare yourself to anyone else."

Lets meet Fay Matsukage!

I love this interview – we talk about success and courage and leadership and transformation. Dorothy tells her story of growing up on the plains of Colorado and finding her way to live in China for 8 months as a young woman. She shares the story of why she chose to come out of retirement to lead University of Colorado at Denver, and why she said yes. And in one of my favorite questions toward the end of the interview we talk about holding principles that we learned in 4H programs as young girls – around head, hand, heart and health – and how they shape our lives today. Dorothy and I shared a number of intersecting threads in our lives – and I think we both loved these connections. So much fun to discover!

Dorothy leads Colorado’s public urban research university: CU Denver which educates over 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students annually in over 100 bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and professional degree programs. Dr. Horrell brings an extensive background in higher education, having served as president of the Colorado Community College System , president of Red Rocks Community College , and as a governor appointee to the Colorado State University Board of Governors. From 2001-2013, she was president and CEO of the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Colorado’s leading foundation supporting the arts and nonprofit leadership.

Passion, commitment, spirit, grit and grace. These are some of the characteristics shared by the women that will be enshrined into the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame in March 2018. These characteristics: Passion, commitment, spirit, grit and grace – are so aligned with what I want to share here at Extraordinary Women Radio. So you can see why I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame to be able to tell these stories!

In March 2018, Colorado will induct 10 new women into their Hall of Fame – something that is done every other year… six contemporary honorees and four historical, into an exclusive class that has now grown to 152. My friend Beth Barela, who is the chair of the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame says, “These women are unsung heroes who have endured with superlative strength, beauty and love. They deserve to have their stories told and to be honored as shining examples of the potential of all women.” Over the next few months, I’ll be bringing you the stories of the 6 contemporary women who will be honored at the March 28, 2018 Induction Gala.

Today’s guest, Gerie Grimes is the first inductee that I’m featuring. Gerie is an early childhood education activist and leader of Colorado’s nonprofit the Hope Center. She has dedicated 36 years of her life to Hope Center and to creating the opportunity for all children to have a better early childhood education experience. She has led Hope Center for the past 12 years as President and CEO.

Her leadership, intelligence and expertise has made Denver’s Hope Center a model for how all children deserve the best education – no matter race or level of capability that society has labeled them.

We talk about how important it is to be a voice at the table – even when the conversations are hard… leading change when we want to make a difference, the importance of reaching out and helping others, and of course we end with three pearls of wisdom from Gerie, which are particularly rich. I’m excited to be learning from these trailblazing women!
"If its not me, then who?" ~Gerie Grimes
Gerie is very active in the Denver Metro community serving presently and in the past on many boards and committees, such as, Center for African American Health, Denver Early Childhood Council, Colorado Association for the Education of Young Children, National Black Child Development, Denver Affiliate, Transforming the ECE Workforce (National efforts), Denver Preschool Program advisory board, Holly Area Redevelopment Project (HARP), East5ide Unified Leadership Team, North Park Hill Collaborative Impact, Mayor’s Head Start Policy Council, Mayor’s Early Childhood Education Commission, Metro State Board of Trustees, Metro State Alumni Board, Colorado Black Women for Political Action, Colorado Black Roundtable, Falcons Youth Organization (Founder and President for 27 years has volunteer with the Falcons for 42 years) and the Police Activities League. Mrs. Grimes has received numerous awards for community service over the years, some awards are: MLK Peace Award, 2013, Minoru Yasui Community Service award, 2011, Mary McLeod Bethune Award of Achievement, 2013, Juanita R.

A rising of more conscious beings. A rising of a more gentle, softer side of humanity. A rising of more awareness in how we show up and connect in the world. And yes, if you’ve been listening to me for any length of time, a bit of Yin Rising.

I’m super excited to host Cindy Powers Prosor – a dear friend of mine from New Zealand – who is a wise woman making huge ripples of impact around the world. Cindy’s work is revolutionary. In fact, she is often referred to as a "Soul Midwife,"… Cindy is here to help usher out our "dying world" while educating and celebrating the awakening of a "new world."

Cindy is a speaker, an author and intuitive. As a mentor and founder of Opening Doors Within, she helps clients around the world drop out of their heads and into their hearts -transforming fear, doubt and struggle into confidence, trust and love.

We talk about this and so much more in today's Extraordinary Women Radio interview! Cindy and I are so aligned in our work, our passions and our beliefs.

Cindy shares how we can nurture our intuitive wisdom, and why it's so important right now. She talks about the our changing world, and how there is a new paradigm being born: one where masculine and feminine energies find new equilibrium of balance. We've been a paradigm of domination - of hard straight lines and driving ways of doing things, but we're moving into a new paradigm of more collaboration, synergy, exposing the best of ourselves, and thus, creating a better world. That excites me!

You’re going to love Cindy’s youthful energy and positive enthusiasm. Let’s meet my dear friend, Cindy Powers Prosor of Opening Doors Within.

I've been looking forward to this interview with Lauren Casteel, the President and CEO of the Women's Foundation of Colorado since the day I started Extraordinary Women Radio. For Lauren is the epitome of an extraordinary woman. In those early days of planning my podcast, when I was thinking about the women whose stories I would like to tell, Lauren certainly was at the top of the list.

I can easily name Lauren as the best leader I’ve ever had an opportunity to work with in my life. She's a changemaker, a trailblazer and a woman who can move mountains. Lauren is the first person in Colorado to lead three foundations and possesses more than 20 years of philanthropic leadership as well as a dedication to inclusiveness across gender, racial, economic, ethnic, military, abilities, and  sexual orientation perspectives in Denver and throughout Colorado.

I’ve had the pleasure of serving on the Board of Trustees of the Women’s Foundation for the past 2 years under Lauren's leadership. The Women's Foundation of Colorado is a unique community foundation that creates more pathways to economic security for Colorado women. We use the power of community, philanthropy, and impact to help women thrive, which builds a more prosperous state for all of us. I passionate about this cause, and I think our tagline says it all! Women Thriving. Colorado Rising. 

In our interview, we talk about what it means to lead now, in whatever role we each have. This is a very important time for all of us. Lauren shares her philosophies on leading change and what it means to lead with substance and not just symbols. She shares her perspectives around how creating more pathways for economic security for women, builds a more prosperous state for us all. Lauren tells her own personal stories of growing up in a household with her civil rights leader father, Whitney Young and how that has shaped her life. Her wisdom is rich and deep.

Throughout her career, Lauren has gained numerous accolades. In 2014, Lauren was inducted into the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame. She has been named as one of the 25 most powerful women in 2015 by the Colorado Women’s Chamber; one of the Denver Business Journal’s 2015 Nonprofit/Foundation Newsmakers; a “Timeless Legend” by Denver’s Urban Spectrum Newspaper; received the “Trailblazer Award” from the American Association of University Women, Denver Branch; received the Girl Scout’s “Woman of Distinction” award; and in 2016 she was honored with the Monte Pascoe Civic Leadership Award, to name a few.

So let's talk about how the Women's Foundation has thrived under Lauren's leadership, for it's been an incredible year for us! Here's an overview of  this year's journey!

We launched our five-year strategic plan focused on creating a livable wage for women and their families. What does a livable wage mean, you might ask? When a woman earns a livable wage, she escapes the fear that one car repair will mean she can’t pay the electric bill. She can invest – financially and with her energy – in her family’s future. She has the freedom to make choices for her family that are less about surviving and more about thriving. As a former single mom, raising a young son - I am so committed to creating this type of future for the women of our state.
In July, we hosted former First Lady Michelle Obama for her first publicly ticketed appearance since leaving the White House. More than 8,300 community members gathered with us at Pepsi Center, drawing inspiration from Mrs. Obama’s vision for “a world that values its women,” and helping us net over $1 million for WFCO’s work.

I love this interview. We talk about women CEOs and leadership, and what it takes to break the glass ceiling. What Claudia shares is brilliant. And while she attributes her success to perseverance as many male CEOs might – she puts even more emphasis on something that may surprise you: mastery of self… to leading with a great awareness, to stillness, to the openness of exploration. For her, it’s never been about power over others. Instead it’s about doing her own deep inner work, and letting it flow from a deep grounded space within.

This is the kind of leadership that I love to write about, talk about and am passionate about – the kind of leadership that I believe is going to change the world and the companies in which we work. I believe that this is an evolving style of leadership – that women leaders are being called to step up and lead with all of their beautiful, feminine essence of internal knowing  - all their female essence – making space for that softer, knowing, intuitive side of us to rise up. And let me be clear: there is nothing weak about this softer, knowing, intuitive side of us – it is the inner strength that has always been there, and just needed to be set free. It’s Yin Rising!

And an important part of this story is that Claudia’s results speak for themselves – she outperforms every market around the world – and she’ll share more about this in our interview.

At 85 years young, Elinor shares lessons she’s learned over her change-impacting life. She shares the story of how she became an activist as a momma with a baby on her hip, and how she lived by the mantra, “Go where no one else will go. Do what no one else will do.” She loves being her current age and offers third-life wisdom. She’s got grit, she’s got grace, and she’s certainly made an impact on our world.

I especially enjoy our conversation about how she has built friendships across political lines, with people she has been friends with for over 50 years. An important lesson for all of us in today’s modern age.

Elinor has an impressive list of accomplishment in her lifetime. Here are some of the highlights!

As a national leader in adult education and adult development, Elinor has worked with the major colleges and universities in Colorado and was also a guest faculty member of the Harvard University School of Education Institute for the Management of Lifelong Education. She has authored, co-authored, and edited nine books and more than 200 papers.

Greenberg was one of the first to create learner-centered educational programs in Colorado, heading University Without Walls, an individualized bachelor’s degree program for adults utilizing resources from the community. She served as the national coordinator for the program and later was the regional coordinator for the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning and founding director of Project Leadership. She created the first BSN weekend college for rural nurses in Colorado, established a bachelor’s degree program in Colorado prisons, developed degree programs for Native American mental health workers, and founded a prepaid tuition program for US WEST employees in 14 states. At the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, she established the Mountain and Plains Partnership to provide access to online master’s degree programs for nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants in underserved areas of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Greenberg came to Colorado in 1954 to work as a speech therapist and quickly became a community activist, finding ways to provide access to opportunity for women and minorities. She has been in the forefront of the fair housing effort for more than 40 years and served on numerous commissions and boards, including the Colorado Women’s Economic Development Council, the Colorado Women’s Leadership Coalition, Women’s Forum, State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education, the Anti-Defamation League, the Colorado Board of Continuing Legal and Judicial Education, the Colorado Judicial Institute, and MESA. As a nationally known public speaker, writer, and consultant, she founded Colorado-based EMG and Associates, a consulting and publishing firm specializing in adult education and distance learning.

You will love this interview with Elinor’s deep wisdom. Let’s meet Elinor Miller Greenberg!

At 85 years young, Elinor shares lessons she’s learned over her change-impacting life. She shares the story of how she became an activist as a momma with a baby on her hip, and how she lived by the mantra, “Go where no one else will go. Do what no one else will do.” She loves being her current age and offers third-life wisdom. She’s got grit, she’s got grace, and she’s certainly made an impact on our world.

I especially enjoy our conversation about how she has built friendships across political lines, with people she has been friends with for over 50 years. An important lesson for all of us in today’s modern age.

Elinor has an impressive list of accomplishment in her lifetime. Here are some of the highlights!

As a national leader in adult education and adult development, Elinor has worked with the major colleges and universities in Colorado and was also a guest faculty member of the Harvard University School of Education Institute for the Management of Lifelong Education. She has authored, co-authored, and edited nine books and more than 200 papers.

Greenberg was one of the first to create learner-centered educational programs in Colorado, heading University Without Walls, an individualized bachelor’s degree program for adults utilizing resources from the community. She served as the national coordinator for the program and later was the regional coordinator for the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning and founding director of Project Leadership. She created the first BSN weekend college for rural nurses in Colorado, established a bachelor’s degree program in Colorado prisons, developed degree programs for Native American mental health workers, and founded a prepaid tuition program for US WEST employees in 14 states. At the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, she established the Mountain and Plains Partnership to provide access to online master’s degree programs for nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants in underserved areas of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Greenberg came to Colorado in 1954 to work as a speech therapist and quickly became a community activist, finding ways to provide access to opportunity for women and minorities. She has been in the forefront of the fair housing effort for more than 40 years and served on numerous commissions and boards, including the Colorado Women’s Economic Development Council, the Colorado Women’s Leadership Coalition, Women’s Forum, State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education, the Anti-Defamation League, the Colorado Board of Continuing Legal and Judicial Education, the Colorado Judicial Institute, and MESA. As a nationally known public speaker, writer, and consultant, she founded Colorado-based EMG and Associates, a consulting and publishing firm specializing in adult education and distance learning.

You will love this interview with Elinor’s deep wisdom. Let’s meet Elinor Miller Greenberg!

This interview is a delight - and I thoroughly enjoyed making space to hear Rita's wisdom on how to bring more mindfulness in our day-to-day lives, and why it's so important to our world right now. She shares her personal journey of growing up in India, the challenges of arriving in the US as a young woman, and how the ancient ways and wisdom of meditation helped her rise in up in ranks as a female leader in tech, and eventually to starting her own company Deva Seed. The threads of her life have led her on a journey to doing the work that I believe, she was destined to do in this life.

Mindfulness—both the formal practice of meditation and the moment-to-moment life application--teaches us to be resilient. It reframes our thoughts toward positivity and productivity, and helps us build a deeper sense of empathy, curiosity and compassion.

In the late 1970’s and early 80’s, M.L. Hanson observed that the professional lives of contemporary women were changing. Women wanted to and expected to be treated equally to men in their professional lives.  Ah – what a concept – right?!

As Assistant Vice President at the United Bank of Denver, M.L. found herself in the role of a trailblazer. She was impressed by the vitality of the women she met and inspired by the pioneering accomplishments of women in Colorado’s history. She began to dream of a platform where great women could be recognized.

M.L. shares more about how the story unfolded in the interview – so I won’t spoil it here. But suffice it to say – that M.L. went on to found the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame in 1985. And since 1985, the Hall has inducted 152 visionary and trailblazing women from the past and present who have a connection to Colorado.  The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame inductees includes: teachers, doctors, scientists, politicians, social activists, bankers, newspaper publishers, philanthropists, aviation pioneers, humanitarians and authors.

So many women in the Hall are unsung heroes, “hidden figures” who have endured with superlative strength, beauty and love.  They deserve our respect and acknowledgment as shining examples of the potential of all women.  Their accomplishments are a strong legacy, as tall as the Rocky Mountains they stand beside… and as broad as the plains they look out upon, and have shaped history and transformed lives.

M.L. certainly fits in this group of extraordinary women! Today she shares her journey through her incredible career. We talk about following your dreams, leaving legacies and the importance of bringing women's stories into our history books!

Let’s meet the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame founder, M. L. Hansen. You can learn more about M.L. on her company web site at www.mlhanson.com. In addition, M.L. is President of Idyll Cravings, LLC a small batch specialty food producer she started with her entrepreneur husband.   www.idyllcravings.com.

Dottie is a Colorado Women's Hall of Fame Inductee, an organization that I'm pleased to partner with - helping tell the stories of women who have really made a difference in Colorado!

I love this interview - Dottie's delightful storytelling is filled with humor and wisdom! She gives great advice on lighting up our courage (hint: it starts with jumping in and just getting active!). We chat about surviving success and surviving failure, philanthropy, feminism and the biggest challenges women are facing today.

Dottie shares how important it is to engage in the courageous conversations we need to be having now and give voice to what we care about.  Dottie has taken a stand and stood up for so many causes in her lifetime. I’m so inspired. Her writings, her teachings, her stories – have made a difference and helped shape opportunities, guide policy and open doors for women and others for many years.

She marched with Betty Ford and other first ladies on the national Equal Rights Amendment; and worked to help pass Colorado’s Equal Rights Amendment. She marched in Selma for voting rights for African-Americans. In the mid-nineties, she was appointed by President Clinton to the U.N. Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, and to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.

Dottie helped found the Women’s Foundation of Colorado and became its first President.  The “Dottie Lamm Award” given each year to a high school sophomore girl (or girls) in Dottie’s name has developed into the Girls’ Leadership Council. This Council consists of a number of outstanding girls from around the state who become a granting organization in their own right for that year

She has a long, long list of awards that have been granted to her over the years for civil rights, women’s empowerment, leadership and more, including:

The Big Sisters’ Contributions to Women Award.
The Women’s Foundation Scholarship award given, in her name, to two high school students each year who “share Dottie Lamm’s compassionate values.”
The Colorado Black Women for Political Action Award.
The Anti-Defamation League Civil Rights Award.
The Occidental College Gold Seal Alumni Award for Community Service.
The Monte Pascoe Civic Leadership Award
The Volunteers of America Empathy Award
The Colorado League of Women Voters Leadership in Democracy Award

Dottie is a legend in her own right and let's just say, I’m a bit-awe-inspired to share this interview with you! I hope you enjoy it as much as did getting to interview Dottie!

We dig into her stories of:

Being the only woman in the room and acknowledging that the glass ceiling is real - and what choices she had to make for her own career
Her all important mentor who taught her that extraordinary leadership means modeling our own lives well - taking time in life for what is important and treating others with respect
The importance of seeking criticism on your work and understanding that criticism is not about YOU
Having the courage to say yes to the new, even if you don't know much about it
Bias - ageism, gender or any number of other biases that exist in our journeys - and how she managed it by believing that people are good and being open to the heartfelt conversations that can unfold if you give people the opportunity to dialog.

One of the things I really love about this interview is Karolyn's passion around the importance of questions. Did you know that young children ask 300 questions a day  - that moms field 100,000 questions in a year... but by the time the child reaches middle school, the question asking is almost extinct? Karolyn shares why she instills the importance of question asking into her company's culture. She takes us through a quick exercise on this episode to help you open your question asking powers!

Karolyn is the COO at inspireHub Technologies, where Karolyn oversees marketing, communications, sales, licensing and operations  and the development of the inspireHub technology platform.  I love Karolyn’s stories, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and how it impacts the way she leads today!

I love Karolyn’s spicy energy and her rich life insights. And you will too. She's a dynamo woman who shares her...
We dig into her stories of:

Being the only woman in the room and acknowledging that the glass ceiling is real - and what choices she had to make for her own career
Her all important mentor who taught her that extraordinary leadership means modeling our own lives well - taking time in life for what is important and treating others with respect
The importance of seeking criticism on your work and understanding that criticism is not about YOU
Having the courage to say yes to the new, even if you don't know much about it
Bias - ageism, gender or any number of other biases that exist in our journeys - and how she managed it by believing that people are good and being open to the heartfelt conversations that can unfold if you give people the opportunity to dialog.

One of the things I really love about this interview is Karolyn's passion around the importance of questions. Did you know that young children ask 300 questions a day  - that moms field 100,000 questions in a year... but by the time the child reaches middle school, the question asking is almost extinct? Karolyn shares why she instills the importance of question asking into her company's culture. She takes us through a quick exercise on this episode to help you open your question asking powers!

As Carrie says, "This is where the essence is - in the work!" Carrie shares her secrets about playing with our inner critic and how to tame her!

Carrie’s artwork depicts the traditional icons of the Western landscape with a thoroughly modern twist using vibrant colors and fluid forms.  Her work is free spirited – her paintings and designs offer a sophisticated, yet fresh, style that appeals to the maverick within each of us – and certainly within me!

She took the leap from a corporate job to start her own company, Insight Consulting & Coaching around the same time that I launched Syzygy, and she shares her stories of making the big transition in our interview. More importantly she talks about the important work she's doing in our world today!

This is an interview about leadership! It’s about changing cultures! Renelle and I share a passion to change the world by helping people develop into the best version of themselves – and in Renelle’s case, she starts in the work place.

As Renelle shares, “Many people spend half their waking life at work, yet work is a place where a large number of people don’t want to be. What if more people could bring their whole self to work and what if that led to not only greater personal fulfillment… but to more organizational success?"

Our world is in transition. Many people can feel it, but not all can truly understand the shift in consciousness that is happening. Renelle shares how she’s helping people evolve themselves, and how organizations benefit! It’s an inside-out approach to leadership and cultural transformation that I love. If we start from the inside-out, what might that do for us collectively? As a family? Within our organizations? Within society? This is Renelle’s work and I’m thrilled to share it with you!

I invite you to tune in to Renelle’s great wisdom around the pioneering leadership work she’s taking into your clients around the world. To learn more about Renelle and her work visit http://www.insight-cc.com/ or follow her on Twitter at https://twitter.com/renelle_InSight.

 ]]>http://syzygy-co.com/?p=4613Wed, 03 May 2017 22:30:43 +0000BizTalkRadioI'm so excited to share this episode of Extraordinary Women Radio featuring Renelle Everett Darr - an innovative and cutting-edge thought leader who believes that emotionally intelligent workplaces and leaders can change the world. And of course that...
She took the leap from a corporate job to start her own company, Insight Consulting & Coaching around the same time that I launched Syzygy, and she shares her stories of making the big transition in our interview. More importantly she talks about the important work she's doing in our world today!

This is an interview about leadership! It’s about changing cultures! Renelle and I share a passion to change the world by helping people develop into the best version of themselves – and in Renelle’s case, she starts in the work place.

Talk about a trailblazing woman doing epic things in her life. In this fabulous interview, Jackie shares her stories of grabbing the threads of opportunity as they show up in our life... we talk about friends of the heart and friends of the road, following your passion, red suits and believing in people, believing in yourself and believing in the power of love.

As a civilian equivalent to a 3-Star General in the US Airforce, Jackie has an extraordinary career path to share with us that has taken her from a teacher at public schools to top ranking positions in the US government. She advocates and mentors women to choose STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) pathways.

She is a retired member of the Senior Executive Service, and currently is an independent consultant and advisor in the areas of professional and educational development, applied analytics, risk management and STEM opportunities.  She retired from the US Air Force 2014, where she was responsible to the Secretary and Chief of Staff. Over the course of her career, she served six USAF Chiefs of Staff as the principal advisor and leader of Air Force Decision Support Analysis.  Jackie focused on helping senior leadership "fireproof" their decisions with a solid analytic body of work, grounded in scientific fundamentals.

Her expertise and knowledge lent quality to a span of areas ranging from Nuclear Deterrence, Joint Warfighting Assessment, to Risk Management. Over the course of her career, she received two Department of Defense Distinguished Civilian Service Awards in 2001 and 2009. She also received the Meritorious Executive Rank Award in 2005, and was recognized with the Presidential Distinguished Executive Rank Award in 2012.

Enjoy!
