In Episode #83, I had the honor of sitting down with Becca Stevens, a speaker, leader, priest, entrepreneur, and the president of Thistle Farms, a multifaceted, international nonprofit. She founded the organization more than 20 years ago to provide a sanctuary and healing for women survivors of prostitution, trafficking and addiction not historically served. 

Becca shared with us that this is the most important time for community and serving others through small steps that can make a large impact.  

One way she and Thistle Farms are staying connected to one another while serving their community is by participating in a weekly Zoom call where they each light a candle and recite “We light this candle for the woman that is still on the street and the woman that is trying to find her way home.”  

Becca had a strong desire to work with women on the streets all her life, and sought out to create justice work in a non-competitive, lavish way.  Through such, she was able to create a global movement for women’s freedom that serves women who are survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction.  The movement has grown to a national network of 50 affiliated partners and 30 global partners which allows affiliates to take ownership in the movement and collaborate through shared trade fashion.

Becca reminds us that “We are stronger and bigger than a virus, we are going to get through this, and on the other side we’re going to say that we never gave up.”

3 things Becca hopes we can look back and say at the end: 
1.  We feel good about what we went through.

2.  We became stronger, deeper, and more spiritual through the process. 
3.  We were faithful throughout it all. 

Becca reminds us to seek out gratitude every day in the midst of this circumstance.  She encourages us through this daily quote “My glass isn’t half full.  My glass is just too big.  Get small again. Take those few precious drops that you’ve been given today and let it fill your cup.”
 My blessing for the day was being able to finally meet Becca Stevens, and I hope to learn more from her in the future.

Dear 38 Year Old Me

Listen to "Power Project Episode #81: Dear 38 Year Old Me" on Spreaker.

​Thirty Eight, The Year I will never forget. 

I have to think hard as to what I did for my birthday last year.  But, I bet I never forget the year I spent my birthday in quarantine. 

I have been planning this episode all year!  I couldn’t wait to share what all has changed in the past ten years of my life.  I couldn’t wait to tell my network how I had once felt it was too late to step into my purpose, but found out that it wasn't.

This month should be a whirlwind for me right now! And, I should be telling you about everything that I have going on.  It 
hit me last night & I broke down.  Not because of my birthday but because of where I am in life right now with this current situation.  I AM AN ACHIEVER.  And, I’m realizing that I don’t do well with Staying Home and not achieving.  I thrive when I am accomplishing goals! 

I know that we are all going through this together, and everyone is navigating their own trials right now.  No one is truly unaffected, and I’m sure that some of you out there are feeling the same way I am.  I have found myself feeling incredibly aimless right now, and feel like rather than achieving, I am simply floating.  

I realize now why I felt this constant pull on my heart for 10 years as a SAHM.  I was constantly seeking what my purpose was in life. In the past 3 years I have fully stepped into that purpose, and it has felt so fulfilling.  So much so, that I even wrote a book about it.


And now, here I am... floating without direction or an anchor. I have no clue what to do next. Seriously, I’m a podcast host and I am doing good to publish an episode each week and send out a newsletter. Otherwise, I’m basically clueless.  I don’t know if I should move forward, turn left, or sit still.   

So, for this episode, I took a literal page out of my own book where my 38 year old self tells my 19 year old self everything is going to be okay.  Hopefully one day, my 76 year old self will be able to remind my 38 year old self that it all turned out great.  This episode made me feel better about my current feelings of aimlessness, and I hope that you find inspiration from it as well.  

At this time in my life, I have to remember to walk with God.  Trust the path that He is leading me on.  Know that He has gone before to prepare the way. 

Micah 6:8 teaches us how to actually walk with God. 
DO JUSTICE: Living Relationally with God and one another in the natural creation.
  • Reach out to neighbors, friends, and family to see how you can help them.  Maybe they just need to talk, maybe they need groceries or medication, maybe they need help operating an online platform. 

LOVE KINDNESS:  Loving the act of being warmhearted, considerate, humane, and sympathetic.
  • Remember that when this is all over, we are still each other’s neighbors.  There will be differing opinions, theories, beliefs, but we can choose to differ in a kind manner. 

WALK WITH GOD:  
  • How do you walk with someone?  You share conversation that includes your immediate surroundings.  You comment how beautiful a flower or sunset is.  You talk about what is currently going on in your life.  You share your concerns, fears, hopes.  You experience the walk relationally with them.

how to repurpose content

In Episode #74 I’m pulling back the curtain on Marketing on Social Media. 

I know it gets overwhelming, but, if people aren’t seeing the content that you’re creating, you’re literally throwing your time and energy away.  

  1. Your content will not share itself, unless of course it goes viral.  It is up to you to promote the content that you are pouring all the hard work into! 
​
​​​
KNOW YOUR PLATFORMS
  1. Facebook: For friends and family *DON’T do business there or your content will be hidden. Create a Facebook page for all business content where you are going to promote/sell and then boost a post for the most visibility.  
  2. Instagram: For personal branding and marketing, make sure you have a business or creator account.  The amount of your followers is not as important as your engagement rating.  Meaning, gone are the days that you follow/unfollow or buy followers.  IG wants to see that your followers are interacting with your posts by liking and/or commenting.  
  3. YouTube: A search engine: great for service-based providers to be seen and heard:  coaches, speakers, teachers, trainers, etc….  People search How-To videos on these sites 
  4. Pinterest: A search engine, people are looking for How To’s here as well, research keywords and what users are searching for by typing your subject in the search bar and letting it auto-populate key phrases  *10 pins per episode. * Have a business account so that you can track you analytics 
  5. LinkdIn: B2B networking, speakers, authors, podcast hosts: write articles Once week:  Blog Posts, Industry News, How-To & Lists, Quick Tips, Business Event Photos, Updates about your business 
  6. TikTok: the new wild west of social media: remember when you could put anything you want on Instagram and people saw it?  Well, that’s how it is on TikTok. There is no algorithm that actively shuts down your content.  You can have zero followers and go viral.  However, things to know. The majority of users are 12 year old girls…. And they can be ruthless.  That being said, producing as much content as possible on TikTok is key and great fro brand awareness.  You don’t have to overthink what you shoot, 15 or 60 second videos that get your message across.  Make sure that whatever you post either entertains or educates.
For The Power Project Podcast: 
We record on our host platform and schedule to publish on Thursdays at 6:00 am.  
  • A graphic with the guest’s headshot & and a quote are shared on The Power Project IG with my saved hashtags: personal development, women in business, self love, general podcast promotion, etc (keep these in my notes)
  • Show notes are typed up with a summary of the episode and tangible takeaways are listed in clear “how to steps” on the episode page
  • Those show notes are then copied and turned into a blog post on my website with the audio recording (SPREAKER) of the episode embedded in the blog post,  publishes on Thursday.   
  • The show notes are then shortened with key takeaways & turned into a newsletter (FloDesk) as well that is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 6:24 (best time to email in the morning & more emails are read on Tuesdays than Mondays). The newsletter has a link to iTunes episode & Spotify episode (people can listen on an iPhone or samsung/android). Newsletter readers are also pointed to my Facebook group: Power Squad where we can hang out and get to know each other better
  • I then take the podcast episode and create Pinterest pins for it.  I use Canva for my graphics (which has Pinterest dimensions that you need). These pins give a brief takeaway with “3 things to know” “How to” etc…. Just enough to catch the reader’s attention and encourage them to click for more.  The pin then points the reader back to my blog, landing page for my email opt-in, or the episode itself.   Each pin is designed with what course of action I want to guide the audience to choose. 
  • If my episodes are business related, I turn the blog into a LinkdIn article with the How-To steps included and circle readers back to the episode

Listen to "Power Project Episode #73: The Power of Fair Trade with Jackie Costello" on Spreaker.
​In Episode #73 I sit down with Jackie Costello, social entrepreneur,
host of The Fairlosophy podcast and founder of The Golden Rule
Boutique.

Jackie shares with us how she stumbled upon companies with transparency through a
documentary while shopping for Christmas. She then went on to create a boutique
that strives to make an impact in the world by making sure workers in the supply chain
are protected with healthy working environments, provided a fair living wage, and are
not forced to do anything against their will.
The 10 Principles of Fair Trade:
1. Create opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
2. Transparency and Accountability
3. Fair Trading Practices
4. Payment of a Fair Price
5. No Child Labor or Forced Labor
6. Commitment to Non-Discrimination, Gender Equality, and Freedom of
Association
7. Ensure Good working condition
8. Provide Capacity Building
9. Promote Fair Trade
10. Respect for the Environment

She also points out that we can all start to see change in the fashion industry if we
demand the brands and the factories work together to bring about change. Jackie
shared with us how when she realized that she needed to pivot in business, she was
able to create the environment her customers desired.

Jackie has taken everything she learned on her entrepreneurial journey and created a
space for other business builders to join in order to mastermind with on another
and create solutions for each other’s obstacles in business.

Episode #72 The Power of SElf Love with                        Brandy edwards

Listen to "Power Project Podcast Episode #72: The Power of Self Love with Brandy Edwards" on Spreaker.
Picture
The Power of Self Love  

I sat down with Brandy Edwards:  Empowerment Speaker, Founder of the Self Love Challenge, and self-proclaimed self-love expert.  She taught us that self love is a choice, and we get to choose to love and accept ourselves.  She has early memories of struggling with self-worth, acceptance, and her physical appearance as a young child.  
She taught us the women that we are surrounded with growing up have the impact of passing down insecurities and the lack of self-love is often times a learned behavior. 

As she began working with women as an empowerment speaker, she realized that she was not only teaching them self-love but also helping them work through pain from adolescence.  

She shared with us her five steps to self love for teens:
5 Steps to Self-Love for Teens:
  1. Identify your super power (what makes you unique?)
  2. Layer on your confidence
  3. Tone down your inner mean girl  
  4. Build yourself up as an individual 
  5. Create a positive space for brainstorming 
She also shared the steps she personally implements for the Self Love Challenge: 
  1. Realize self-love is a lifestyle and includes everything we choose to do and not do. 
  2. Make empowering choices. 
  3. Take care of yourself mentally: be kind to yourself and retrain your brain to come from a place of love. 
  4. Take care of yourself physically: move your body, make nourishing choices, accept your body for what it can do right now.  
  5. Choose to surround yourself with people that make you a better person
Brandy challenged our listeners to think about what it is about them that people have said was too much and reminds us to ask our selves what is the one thing that we want to accomplish.  She left us with the thought that “It is never too late to start over.  You can start over as many times as you want.  You have to start somewhere to get anywhere and realize that there are so many ways to get better.”

Episode #71  Keeping kids safe online with titania jordan

2/6/2020

Listen to "Power Project Episode #71: Keeping Kids Safe Online with Titania Jordan *Trigger Warning*" on Spreaker.
Picture
In Episode #71, I had the opportunity to sit down with Titania Jordan, Chief Parenting Officer of Bark.Us.  If you’ve been with me for a minute over here, you know that I have been singing the praises of Bark from the rooftops.  I am an avid supporter of this online monitoring app that helps keep track of what my kids are doing on their phones and the internet.  

Titania and I discussed the intersection of her baptist background and tech career.  She shared how the internet and world of tech breached the protective bubble that she had grown up in, forcing her to look at the world through a wider lens.  She talked about her faith and realization that there are questions she will never have answers to.   

At the core of the work she does every day, she sees the worst depravity one can imagine, but she teaches us that when you are faced with seeing bad things happen to children, you can either get bogged down by it, or let it fuel your desire to pursue the mission.  As a survivor of childhood sexual assault, she holds this work as personal and shares with us that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18.  In order to change these numbers, we must shed light on it and fight it.  Titania and her team are optimistic that they will make an impact and fight this tragedy.  

Titania shared with us the importance to lead by example. 
“Your kids are going to learn more by watching what you do than listening to you.” 
And encourages us to take a look at our behavior.  Just like we can ask our kids, Are you in control or is Fortnite, they can ask us, is Mom in control or is Instagram?  
Things you should know about your kids’ online activity: 
  • There is no profile for predators.  They can be the creepy guy in the basement or a trusted pubic servant. 
  • Teach your kids to trust their gut.  If it feels off, it’s off. 
  • Your children’s social media accounts should be private, but know that when not monitored, they can change the setting.  
  • Anyone anywhere in the world can video call your child on Instagram 
  • Check your child’s location settings on Snapchat to ensure they are turned off.  Otherwise anyone they are connected to can zoom in on the map and see minute details about their location. 
  • Teach your children that the amount of followers does not dictate their worth as a human
  • If your children have unfettered access to content that allows pornographic material on its platform, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when they will encounter porn.


Titania gives us tips for teaching our kids Safer Online Practices: 
  1. Decide as a parent when your child is ready for social media. 
  2. Discuss issues with your child that may lead to unhealthy online practices:  Do they have FOMO *fear of missing out* or do they suffer from body issues?  
  3. Explain to your child why you are hesitant.  Discuss the lurking dangers,  Help them understand.  

Titania ends with reminding us of this one simple fact:  “It’s your job to keep them (your kids) safe on this planet: in real life and now in their digital lives.”
“Good Pictures, Bad Pictures” is a book that will help you talk with your children about sex and pornography. 
Parenting in a Tech World is a facebook community that is a great resource for you to learn about your children's online use and ask for advice from other parents.

episode #70                                                                               Elisabeth jordan with the human impact

1/30/2020

Listen to "Power Project Episode #70: The Power of Humanity with Elisabeth Jordan" on Spreaker.
​The Human Impact with Elisabeth Jordan
In Episode #70, I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Elisabeth Jordan of The Human Impact. Before I interviewed Elisabeth, I joined her and her team for street outreach.  I was able to watch her in action as she showed me what it looks like to do what they are doing with the Human Impact. 

Elisabeth grew up in one of the wealthiest zip codes in Dallas, and through her lens of privilege never realized what was happening on the streets just a few miles down the road.  After losing her job in corporate America, she began a quest to find her purpose in life and realized that she most felt like herself when serving the community of people on the streets.  She and I speak about how God can stop us in our tracks in order to truly speak to us in a manner where we are able to hear his call for our lives.

Elisabeth identified friendship as the need that would drive her mission and quickly realized that it would need to be more than just her to really affect change. What started as a volunteer position that fed her soul 7 years ago quickly grew into an organization where she, team members, and volunteers build relationships with people on the streets.  As they forge friendships and learn about their new friends, they work through what issues are keeping them on the streets in hopes of eventually helping them transition off the streets and back into society, a place of their own, and employment.  The Human Impact has been a thriving organization for the past 4 years and has recently created a partnership with Bonton Farms where people can work on an urban farm and live in homes of their own as a first step along the restoration process.  

I encourage you to lean in to Elisabeth’s message of learning to see this population not as “Homeless People” but instead just as people. 
She challenges us to ask ourselves the same question she asked herself in the beginning.  Who are the homeless?  What are my assumptions about the homeless?  How can we serve others when we humble ourselves?

Elisabeth discusses her original thoughts of providing a solution for the homeless community.  
“Coming with a solution to a problem when I had never experienced homelessness was actually pretty arrogant of me.”

She quickly realized that she needed to lay aside what she thought she was going to the streets to do and instead start listening.  She tells us about her friend from he streets that was the first to welcome her into the community.  She shares that he was the first to recognize that she didn’t know what she was doing but that he was going to love her anyway.  After that first bond was formed, she realized that God was using this community to heal her and teach her to love herself because they accepted her for who she was.  We discuss how forging meaningful relationships by sharing our humanity with one another, including our pain and vulnerability is what truly makes us stronger as people.  
“Often times, people of privilege are coming to serve the homeless and we don’t realize we can relate to them in such a human way.”

She and I both found the most surprising part of street outreach to be how most of the homeless community choose to focus on the good and beautiful things that God has for them. 
Elisabeth brings her husband and children along for outreach because they want their family to be in close proximity to people who are different from them and have different needs and different stories because there is so much life to that.  While discussing her children, she tells us that as an Enneagram 1, her greatest desire for her children is for them to remember that they played because it is easy to get lost in the world of perfection and miss those moments.   

She gives us 7 Tips for following your purpose in life
1.  Know that following the purpose that is within in you is worth the risk
2.  Don’t let fear keep you from walking your purpose journey.  
3.  Don’t let the risks outweigh the purpose for which you were made.  
4.  Purpose can be served in both business and the non-profit space.  Neither one is more purposeful than the other. 
5.  Be willing to take chances and continue to pursue the path of purpose no matter what comes.
6. Take small risks so that you’re prepared to take the bigger risks when you’re called to
7.  Change how you view failure, learn from it and grow from it.
  

Elisabeth also shares with us how she has taken lessons from failure and applied them in learning and growing. 
5 Ways to Handle Failure 
1.  Do a post mortum 
2.  Ask yourself what could we have done differently
3.  What could they have done differently? 
4.  Assess what you can do different next time.  
5.  What can you take away from that moment to learn for the future.

episode #69                                                                   Power soul with Brandie Barclay

Power Soul with Brandie Barclay   

In Episode #69, I sit down with visionary and entrepreneur, Brandie Barclay.  Brandie is a fellow purpose driven female in the beauty industry where she has been a licensed aesthetician for 19 years.  

Brandie and I find that we have many similarities in life and both enjoy helping women step into the role that they were created for. 


As a  Faith Trainer, Brandie helps train women for what they were created to do on this planet.  She explains that when we understand faith and God better, we are able to walk in the authority that God has given us.  

We discuss biblical submission and how it’s not a bad thing when we understand God’s divine order.  In submission, we are able to realize that God is God and I am not.  

“We can strengthen our faith to where we can stop second guessing God and start living the life that He has called us to; what a magnificent adventure that is.  If your faith is boring, you’re not doing it right because God is not boring.” 

Brandi also goes on to discuss how women need to focus more on being authentic and less on being the “perfect church lady.”  
“I know I’m not good enough, but I don’t need to be.  If I make room for God to work through me, the best will show up.”

As Brandie spent time working with women one on one, she began serving breast cancer survivors and felt the shift that God wanted her to do something more.  It was at a networking event that she realized the importance of owning her voice and speaking into others.  
She shares with us that there is power and peace in knowing your worth and leaves us with this takeaway: 
Three ways to know your worth: 
  • Surrender your ability to him. 
  • Humble yourself under the Holy Spirit. 
  • Recognize that you are not for everyone.  

I ask every week, and I'll ask again.  Have you written a review yet?  Can you go let Brandie know just how much you loved this episode?

Listen to "Power Project Episode #68: The Power Within with Lt. Kellie Hall" on Spreaker.

In Episode #68, I sit down with Lieutenant Kellie Hall as we discuss what makes us powerful as women.  Kellie is serving active duty and is a top recruiter in the US Navy.  She is not only a woman serving a male dominated leadership role, but she is also a model, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and is competing in the Miss California competition at the end of this month.  
​
​
The roles that Kellie has found herself in place her in the juxtaposition of femininity and leadership and have helped her create the platform that drives her two part mission in life: 
    1.  Empowering and helping women find their power
    2.  Shattering the sterotype of people’s expectations.  
​

Growing up, Kellie was a cheerleader, dancer, did track and field and never saw herself in the navy but did dream of being in the senate.  Inevitably, she chose the navy because of the personal challenge it presented to her. 
“If something is scary, I go for it because that allows the most growth.”  
Kellie shares how in the beginning of her naval career, people wanted to put her in a box telling her not to wear make up because she wouldn’t be taken seriously in her career.  She faced the same push back when she decided on a whim to try out for the Miss Ohio America Competition.  Once again, she saw this as a challenge, but also as a way to connect with likeminded women.  She tells us how she had fallen into these positions along her journey but knew that God had pushed her to take action along the path. 
“I did not recognize that I was powerful or how to use that power.  I kept falling into these areas, and when people told me not to do it, I just said Why Not?..”  She suddenly realized that power is not determined by your stature but in the delivery of your message.  

Kellie says that people can’t be empowered until they know what makes them powerful which is exactly why she has created a three step process for unlocking the power within: 
Three Steps to Unlocking the Power Within: 
  1. Find the Passion 
  2. Protect the Power 
  3. Find a Mentor 
Kellie leaves us with her definition of POWER:  Utilizing skills and gifts that are given to you by God.  

Man!  What a POWERFUL episode!  If you enjoyed it as much as I did, please go write a review now and tell Kellie exactly how much you enjoyed the show!  
Also, tune in Jan. 23-26 to watch Kellie compete in the Miss California USA competition.

EPISODE #67                                                                             life lessons with ASHTON CANTOU

Listen to "Power Project Episode #67: Life Lessons with Ashton Cantou" on Spreaker.

This week in Episode #67, I sit down with  transformational life coach and speaker, Ashton Cantou,. Ashton helps individuals struggling with trauma as well as entrepreneurs get clear on their goals in life, own their power, and take action. She credits her deep understanding of people’s situations and behavior to her personal life lessons and experiences growing up.  
    Ashton shares how as a little girl she dreamt of becoming a veterinarian or a dancer but realizes these goals may have been imposed upon her rather than what she truly wanted to pursue in life. 
​We take a moment here to discuss our parent’s goals for our lives and what that means to us as adults.  She tells us: 

    “Once we can let go of the need to be approved of by our parents, we really have the freedom to go after our dreams in a way that makes sense to our soul.  At the end of the day it’s about love and acceptance and less about validation & approval.”
Ashton discusses with us how she was always passionate about philanthropy and helping others but often times found where her talent would take her, her character could not keep her. She discusses her struggles as a teenager and how she would make decisions that showed that she didn’t truly value her life.  Ashton shares with us how the decisions she made presented her as a failure in other peoples eyes, and in turn, that started to become her identity. She says that she felt as if every time she took two steps forward, she consistently took one step back. 
    "My talent would take me where my character couldn’t keep me I didn’t deem myself worthy.”
Ashton tells us that even in the midst of the fire and turmoil she could recognize the anointing on her life and God‘s work in her journey. Eventually after struggling with her faith for quite some time, she was baptized, left an abusive relationship and began mentoring battered women. She explains to us that this was her point of a literal surrender, and this was where she could see God‘s plan aligning for her life.
     “Finding this place of self love and confidence and tapping into my own purpose is why I went through it all.”
 She took a job in special ed serving special needs children, has become a life coach, is a motivational speaker, and is soon releasing a social emotional book for teen girls that are struggling with identity self-worth, and value.  Having worked with children, Ashton realizes that a young girl’s confidence begins to plummet from the age of 8-14 and hopes that with this book, they can own their beauty and come to a place of self love early in life.  


Ashton shares her 3 Greatest Life Lessons with us: 
  1. When you lose your joy, you are out of alignment. 
  2. Listen to your inner wise woman and quiet the noise. 
  3. When experiencing failure, embrace the power off the pivot.  


I swear I have the best guests!  You can connect with Ashton over on IG @ashtoncantou and check out her LinkTree for her coaching services! 
Have you written a review?  Would you do me a huge favor and go let Ashton know how much you enjoyed this show?  Pretty Please!
