120. Who Are You Really? How to Reimagine Yourself for Success with Ivirlei Brookes Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

We’re joined by special guest, Ivirlei Brookes, an actress, serial entrepreneur, and business and mindset mentor who helps creatives and entrepreneurs build thriving businesses and master their mindsets for meaningful success. She is passionate about educating and using her voice to empower people to cultivate deeply intentional transformations.

Ivirlei’s entrepreneurial evolution is nothing short of epic. From being the creator of a women’s magazine (that interviewed Drake before he became famous) to starring in a series based on her magazine (which never aired because the production company went bankrupt), and then starting her coaching career as a dating coach for men to now mentoring people in their lives and businesses.

She knows all about loss, rebuilding, and understands that entrepreneurism is the ultimate rollercoaster ride. You must master the mindset of resilience to really roll with the punches and become a success.

Tune in as Ivirlei shares actionable tips on how to hack it when things don’t go to plan and how not to equate your work with your worth. According to Ivirlei, the key to leveling is to constantly be reimagining and redesigning your version of yourself - which takes a lot of deeply transformative inner work.

If you’re looking to trust the process more and cultivate the confidence of a successful entrepreneur, listen now.

118. Why Your Fear of Visibility is Limiting Your Instagram Growth Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

When it comes to showing up on Instagram, which BossBabe co-founder do you resonate with most? Are you someone who’s comfortable on camera like Natalie, or do you prefer to be behind-the-scenes like Danielle? Either way, both Natalie and Danielle have cultivated their confidence over the years to show up on social media.

Having used Instagram to build her first business, Natalie understood how vital it was to show up every day to deliver consistent value for her audience, which is why she appears so natural on social media today. She knew that BossBabe’s audience growth and influence wholly depended on her commitment to showing up daily - rain or shine.

Whilst Danielle didn’t initially have this urgency to be on social media, she overcame her post paralysis by learning to hone in on why it was important for her to show up. By identifying the root of her fears and focusing on her ‘why’, Danielle was also able to build her confidence on camera.

Both Natalie and Danielle didn’t start out as superstars on social media, but with consistency and having a clear, strong ‘why’, they were able to overcome their limiting beliefs and attract an audience by showing up as their authentic selves (which means that you can do it too!).

If you want to stop second-guessing yourself, put an end to post paralysis, and become an expert in your niche that makes an impact, then this episode will show you how.

117. How I Used Instagram to Build My Multi-Million Dollar Food Business Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

We’re joined by Olivia Wollenberg, CEO and Founder of Livia’s Kitchen, a vegan food company that creates indulgent, plant-based snacks. In fact, Livia’s Kitchen revolutionized the sweet snacking market in the UK for being the first of its kind: a sweets brand dedicated to delivering on deliciousness as much as it is nutrition.

Before Livia’s Kitchen, Olivia was studying to become a neuroscientist and had already invested six years into her academic career. A sudden spark of entrepreneurial inspiration struck when she was diagnosed with food intolerances and was unable to find indulgent treats that weren’t packed with additives and preservatives.

Olivia identified a gap in the market for indulgent treats with a nutritional twist. Having the drive and determination to be the first to fill this gap, Olivia embarked on her entrepreneurial journey to finding success by building her food empire.

The road to success wasn’t always sweet, but Olivia’s willingness to learn, openness to embracing criticism, and vulnerability to be transparent about her strengths and weaknesses helped her to build resilience in the face of rejection and objections.

Tune in to hear how Olivia built her business from the ground up, from driving around to drop off products, to pitching her treats to Selfridges (one of the biggest chains of high-end department stores in the UK), and using social media to build her empire. She’s also lifting the lid (and very transparent) on her experience raising money as a young female entrepreneur.

So, if you’re looking to disrupt the market and lead by example, this episode is for you.

116. The Exact Steps I Took to Making My First Million Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

We’re back with another bonus episode with two amazing ladies that were in our Soul, Strategy + Success Mastermind, Olanikee Osi & Liv Conlon.

Both women have achieved what many believe to be unattainable. Before they turned 30, Olanikee and Liv both scaled their businesses to 7-figures. Liv has a service-based business staging homes and Olanikee has two businesses, an app called SelfishBabe and a women’s holistic wellness company.

Join us as we discuss their journeys as young female entrepreneurs and how they were able to make the seemingly impossible, possible. Spoiler alert - they credit their path to profitability all to hard work, committing to their goals, and most importantly, believing in themselves (which means that it’s possible for you too!).

We’ll also touch on the importance of self-education, pivoting with the market changes, investing in yourself, and recognizing that there are a million ways to make millions of dollars.

This episode will definitely inspire you with the self-belief that you can achieve whatever you put your mind to. Both Olanikee and Liv serve as an example of “what’s possible for her, is possible for me”.

Fast forward to now, we’re living in a ‘new normal’, and for some anxiety is at an all-time high.

We’re also touching on how to manage stress, anxiety, and inflammation with all-natural alternatives, including CBD-based solutions, breathing techniques, grounding methods, and so much more.

We’re joined by Heather Monahan, author of Confidence Creator (which held the #1 spot in Business Biographies on Amazon), motivational speaker, confidence coach, and overall business badass.

Before she became the Confidence Queen, Heather struggled to assert her worth in the corporate world.

Eventually, Heather was fired from her corporate career after 14 years but it turned out to be the best thing to happen to her. She quickly pivoted and went full force into writing her book, Confidence Creator, and building her personal brand. The rest is history and Heather is now the CEO of her life.
