Overcoming Imposter Syndrome & The Struggles We Don’t Talk About with Rashel Hariri | EU 262 02/26/2025

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome & The Struggles We Don’t Talk About with Rashel Hariri | EU 262 Ever feel like you’re in a constant tug-of-war between your career ambitions and your family’s needs? The guilt, the imposter syndrome, the never-ending to-do list—it’s a lot. But today, we’re diving into the real talk with Rashel Hariri, founder of She’s Interesting and a marketing consultant who’s worked with powerhouse brands like McDonald’s and Shopify. Her journey from corporate to entrepreneurship is full of lessons on confidence, self-worth, and defining success on your own terms. Rashel spent over a decade climbing the corporate ladder, believing that stability and security were the ultimate goals. But something wasn’t sitting right. “I was climbing a ladder that I eventually realized wasn’t even leaning against the right wall.” As a woman of color in corporate meetings, she saw firsthand how her ideas were sometimes ignored—until they were repeated by a male colleague. Frustration fueled her ambition to build something on her own terms, and the COVID-19 pandemic provided the clarity she needed to take the leap. "I was so tired of putting on ‘corporate Rashel’ every day. I wanted to be myself, fully and unapologetically.” She quit her job and started her consulting business, building a six-figure income from scratch. But stepping away from corporate security wasn’t easy. If you’ve ever felt like a fraud despite your accomplishments, you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome sneaks in at every level, making you question whether you really belong. “No one in the room, from me to the CEO, actually knows what they’re doing. We’re all just figuring it out.” Rashel had to unlearn the belief that she had to be perfect before taking action. Instead, she embraced the mindset of constant learning and growth. Her advice? Challenge the voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. Confidence doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from showing up, learning, and adapting. /episode/index/show/empoweredandunapologetic/id/34433525

Unlocking the Flow of Wealth: How to Scale Your Business Without Hustle with Stamina Taylor | EU 259 02/05/2025

Unlocking the Flow of Wealth: How to Scale Your Business Without Hustle with Stamina Taylor | EU 259 When it comes to making money, most high-achieving women believe they have to grind, sacrifice, and push themselves to the limit. But what if that mindset is actually keeping them stuck? In this powerful conversation, I sat down with wealth and mindset coach, Shamina Taylor, who went from being an attorney to building a million-dollar business in just one year. Her secret? Shifting from hustle mode to an energy of ease and wealth consciousness. Get ready, because this is about to change the way you think about money, business, and success. Breaking Free from Hustle Mode: How to Shift Into Wealth Energy Most women believe they have to be doing all the time to succeed. But Shamina teaches the opposite: the secret to success is learning how to be first. Hustling, overworking, and over-controlling everything is a trauma response, not a strategy for long-term wealth. Here’s how to break free from hustle mode: Embrace Stillness: Meditation, journaling, and slowing down allows you to access intuition and clarity. “Being busy is often just a way to avoid sitting with ourselves.” Stop Measuring Success in Numbers: If your sense of worth is tied to how much money you make or how many clients you have, you’ll never feel like you have enough. Instead, ask yourself: How do I want to feel? Shift from Hustle to Receiving: Many women struggle with receiving help, support, and even money. Learn to trust your team, delegate, and let go of micromanaging everything. Reprogram Your Money Beliefs: Do you think making money is hard? That rich people are bad? That you have to earn every dollar through struggle? Challenge those beliefs and rewrite the narrative. “Women have been conditioned to believe that success has to be hard. But suffering is not the way.” – Shamina Taylor Join Empower X and Reclaim Your Life If this resonates with you, it’s time to take action.

Prioritizing Yourself (To Save Your Marriage and Career) | EU 258 01/29/2025

Prioritizing Yourself (To Save Your Marriage and Career) | EU 258 Imagine being asked to sit in silence for one hour. No phone, no distractions, no multitasking—just you and your thoughts. Does the thought make you uncomfortable? Maybe you’d negotiate, cheat with a quick phone check, or feel like the assignment is a waste of time. But what’s really going on beneath that discomfort? The truth is, silence often brings up guilt, shame, or fear. You might feel guilty thinking of the “shoulds”—“I should be folding laundry,” “I should be finishing work.” Or maybe silence forces you to confront fears like, What if I realize I’m not happy? What if I don’t even know who I am anymore? As Veronica Cisneros says, “Sitting in silence isn’t unbearable because you’re busy; it’s unbearable because you’re running from the truth.” This discomfort has roots in the stories we’ve internalized. Many women were raised to equate self-sacrifice with love and worthiness. You might have been taught that rest is something to be earned, that putting yourself first is selfish. But who decided that your happiness, your rest, and your needs were negotiable? Breaking this cycle requires a hard look at where these beliefs came from—and challenging them.
