On The Red Bra Project, no story is too little or big. What they all have in common though is that they are stories of overcoming adversity, pushing through, taking a leap of faith, dealing with the tough stuff, the great stuff and everything in - between while rising up and inspiring each other. A story can hold so much hope, wisdom, inspiration and power right alongside of grit, sweat, resilience, beauty and tears. Red Bra Moments is what we have come to call them.

Get ready to feel the energy, motivation and self - assurance to rock your everyday!

Danielle  Chylinski is a Personal Brand Advocate, Speaker, Founder of Chylinski  Media, Consultant and Coach. She has a positive, infectious energy that  is evident in the first few minutes of our conversation!

We  talk about the unknowns of navigating how to decide what to focus in on  for a college degree, truly leaning into your passion(s), pouring into  your strengths and what starting an online business at the beginning of a  pandemic looked like for her.

Danielle helps  small businesses and entrepreneurs in maintaining their positive image  and relevance within their communities by leveraging their social media  platforms with a real, maintainable and affordable approach.

Danielle  keeps it so real sharing the positive(s) of social media, that  perspective has a lot to do with how one approaches social media and a  few tips of how to connect and engage with an online audience.

We've heard it many times before, but once again "Stop Overthinking" so much is a theme here that will lead to growth!

Grab  yourself a beverage, relax and hit play to listen to Danielle's story,  gain so insight into the wild world of social media and find inspiration  in truly living and showing your authentic side!

How to Focus on The Internal Good When Everything External is Out of Control with Katherine Owens

How to Focus on The Internal Good When Everything External is Out of Control with Katherine Owens

This week's Red Bra Guest is an absolute shining light in all she  does! We got the party started with Katherine Owens, Event Producer, CEO  of Endless Events by Kat, graduate from Kean University with a B.A. in  Communication, Podcaster and an all around inspiring and creative soul.

We  chat the impact of a global pandemic on the event business, how Kat  made small daily decisions to find, do and create things that propelled  herself and her business forward during an extremely trying time. Sooo  not easy to do you all, but Katherine did it with a positive perspective  and curious mind.

The perspective that Kat  shares is enlightening as she reminds us all that boundaries are a good  thing and saying "no" should be more of a normal response for one's  personal mental space in a variety of environments. We talk about the  roller coaster of motivation and while friends may come into and out of  your life at different seasons, ultimately, you yourself are responsible  to light your own fire every day and keep going!

Kat  sweetly and tenderly shares the importance of her solid support team  (mom and sisters!) including her older sister who is cheering her on  from heaven now. (Sending so much love)

Tune  IN to Kat's episode for a major dose of motivation and inspiration.  Truly if you are struggling to find your why, to figure out what's next  or how it all fits together, Kat's story may just help to change that.

Please  share with a friend who needs Kat's story in their life. Remember,  stories hold SO much power and can create a positive ripple effect in  other's lives.

We appreciate you!

Thank you for being here!

How Following The Journey of Self Expression Led to Joy and Opportunity with Amanda Cefaratti

We could not get enough of Amanda Cefaratti's incredible perspective on life and her journey of self - expression she shared with us resulting in not only joy and finding her voice, but in incredible opportunity as well.    

Amanda works in higher education has a love for Bullet Journals, Espresso and her most recent love - Digital Art.     

"I love to start something new when in a rut" Amanda shared with us. It  was that exact open mind and leaning into her natural curiosity that  Amanda stumbled into art. 

Through her self - expression in art,  Amanda  shares with us that she can finally embrace the world instead of letting it kick her when she was down.  She says she was never "good" at anything, but knew she could teach  herself almost anything. We laugh at the nickname she has given herself  which is "Amanda of All Trades" LOVE THAT!! 

She takes us back to how she  first started learning how to paint, the calming effect it had on her and how she pivoted to the digital art world.    After filling her family's space(s) with her art work in the beginning  she stages she was encouraged to give digital art a fair try.    

She LOVED It.    

Customer's LOVED It.    

And, boom in the middle of a pandemic Amanda opened up an online Etsy  shop selling her super creative digital art pieces and super fun  STICKERS in which she describes as Instagram Sheek. (They are sooo  cute!)    

You HAVE to tune in for Amanda's full story, gems of inspo and her  incredible Red Bra Moment she shares with us. Hint, Hint: it involves an  orange crop top, kicking the feeling of self consciousness to the curb  and an outdoor summer concert. ;-)

From Dating Ninja to Dating Coach - 45 and Single to 45 and Married with Ebony Hill

From Dating Ninja to Dating Coach - 45 and Single to 45 and Married with Ebony Hill

Who doesn't love a beautiful love story? We know we do and do we  EVER have a special treat of a guest for you this week with just that - a  beautiful love story.


Our guest shares with us how SO much changed in one single year for her and that anything is possible.


Meet  Red Bra Guest: Ebony Hill, Author, Speaker, Dating Coach (yes!!),  Podcaster, Minister and Friend. Ebony shares her story of the single  life, dating along the way, self love discovery, her celibacy journey  and how she went from 45 and single to 45 and married.

Yasssss!!!


For Ebony, she knew she wanted to be in a loving relationship but not just  ANY relationship. She wasn't going to settle because of the ticking  clock and sure as heck wasn't going to risk going all in on just anyone  to say she is "married". She knew and felt her man was out there, she  just had to stay committed to putting in the time and work to find him.  Which meant a lot of kissing the wrong frogs to find her King along the way, she laughs with us and refers to that time in her life where she was a "dating ninja".

Ebony  shares what her deep soul searching, self reflection, getting  UNcomfortable with choosing to make minor adjustments and deciding to  reach out to a dating coach herself looked like for her. While she didn't know who her man was at the time, she knew that at 40 years old  she was feeling a shift and needed to listen inward to do something  different.

And it SURE worked.

Into her life walked her King, Kwa. Like, literally their initial meeting  turned into a 7 hour conversation which led to another one and so much  more from there. We will NOT spoil it all here though - make sure to tap  the link our bio to hear all of the lovely details from the radiant  Ebony herself!

Ebony's story is full of hope,  light, inspiration and yes - even strategy about how to find the right  one for you! Today, Ebony is supporting others on their dating journey,  has made a successful love match and more than anything is sharing how  to find "the one" and to remain determined but not desperate!

"Once married I promised to never forget my single sisters." - Ebony Hill

Resilient. Real. Unfiltered. Life of a Survivor with Amanda DeJesus

Resilient. Real. Unfiltered. Life of a Survivor with Amanda DeJesus

Stop asking "why you?" and instead start asking why NOT you?    

That is the UNSTOPPABLE and resilient mindset of our incredible and  beautiful guest on The Red Bra Project.    

Meet Amanda DeJesus.    Heart transplant survivor of 17 years...and counting.    

Chef.    

Podcast Co - Host of Unfiltered Survivors.    

Lyfebulb Ambassador.    

Fighting for her 3rd chance as she is waiting for a new heart and kidney  -- all during Covid to add another layer.    

Resilient. Real. Unfiltered.     

Amanda shares with us so many tender and honest parts of her story from  what it was like to be a teenager who survived a heart transplant to  friendships, relationships, hopes, dreams and making them all come true.  Including her amazing career, love, support system and even traveling  and walking the Berlin Wall at 19 years old.     

We fell in love with Amanda's positively infectious, real and down to  earth personality. She shines her beautiful light on so many others  every day in the hopes to remind those who are on the national  transplant waiting list and who are transplant survivors that they are  not alone. That their feelings, concerns, fears, thoughts are valid.    

Through Amanda's heart healthy recipes and guidance found on her website  to her podcast Amanda is reminding people that a second and even third  chance at life is possible and that we can learn so much from one another's story - which is why she continues to share hers.

Overwhelmed and Over It, How to Move Forward and Leave the Overwhelm Behind

Christine Arylo is teaching women how to say "no more" to what is not  working and transform their lives in a positive way leaving the  overwhelm behind. The best part is, we already have exactly what we need  right inside of us, Christine is simply teaching us how to harness that  power!    

The power of I N T U I T I O N.    

Christine is a transformational leadership advisor, 3 time best selling  author and recognized worldwide for her work helping women to make SHIFT  happen. Yaaaaassss....   

We dive deep into Christine's latest book: Overwhelmed and Over It.  Embrace Your Power To stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World.    Isn't that just music to your ears? More harmony, less chaos!   

Helping to tackle those "Superwoman Sob Moments" as she explains and  instead learn how to bring awareness to what we can't see but is  ultimately impacting us.     

This episode is packed with fantastic insight into how to hear and tune  in to your intuition, what following it looks like and how we really  need to be taught this at a young age. Christine shares how to recognize  many of the 13 "kinds" of overdoing it (there's a quiz for this, too!).   

Christine recalls a few of her own personal experiences that have led  her to exactly where she is right now and as she reflects it is  fascinating to see how following her intuition was ultimately her best  guide.   

She promises, this is NOT more "to - do's" to add to your daily  schedule. It is all about our very own harmonic superpower and the  magical growth that happens when we give, receive (yes, receive) and not  just hear, but follow our intuition.

EP 73 Secrets To Addressing FEAR and Doing It Afraid with Stella Ihenacho

EP 73 Secrets To Addressing FEAR and Doing It Afraid with Stella Ihenacho

Today we are highlighting our Red Bra Guest, Stella Ihenacho founder of  Women Doing It Afraid - A community of global women conquering their  fears in their business, career, and personal lives.   

Stella shares many parts of her story being a wife, mother, daughter,  sister, business owner and so much more. While she recognized just how  much she would pour into others supporting, empowering and encouraging  them to step out of fear, into faith and rise up she realized that she  hesitated when it came to do the same for herself.  

What was the root cause?

Fear.    

Yes, Fear was the culprit that was lurking underneath her own self  doubts, but yet here she was championing with all she had for others.    Stella shares with us how she turned inward to tackle her own fear  leading to her amazing community being born, Women Doing It Afraid.    

Today she leads women to become the best version(s) of themselves, finding freedom in letting go of perfection to embrace the progress  through life - changing tools and resources that inspire growth, self  confidence and perspective.    

Stella shares with us that FEAR is only as deep as the mind allows, that it is more mental than anything and the insight to how we can educate  fear out of us.

EP 71 How To Clap For YourSELF First with Janelle Taylor

EP 71 How To Clap For YourSELF First with Janelle Taylor

Janelle Taylor is helping us close out 2020 on a high note through her  story of overcoming obstacles, putting a stop to people pleasing and  playing it small for others. J

anelle is an an absolute shining light  touching others with her positive energy, kindness and compassion every where she goes.    A teacher, PHD Candidate, poet, music lover and spiritual soul, Janelle  loves her family and people unconditionally. She is so grateful for her  support system and honors her mother who has been a constant in her life  cheering her own every step of the way.    

Janelle has learned through her own experiences and shares that you have  to always do what is best for you, even if it makes other people  uncomfortable. "It is important to acknowledge that we all have gifts  and a purpose and how our comfort zones are detrimental to our growth as  we evolve. 

Sometimes the person who we need to offer forgiveness to  most is ourselves," she shared.    

We have a candid conversation about what teaching this year has looked  like for both her and her students during a pandemic, the weight of the  year mentally and just how MUCH teachers pour into their students.  (Thank you to all of our teachers, you are so amazing and appreciated).    Janelle's Red Bra moment is a beautiful reminder that we are all capable  of doing hard things. That we are tougher than we think at any given  moment and that in the end, what you are working towards despite all of  the obstacles, challenges and potential set - backs is worth every part  of the struggle.

EP 70 Proof That The Reward is Always Waiting On the Other Side of Fear - with Laura Vaisman

EP 70 Proof That The Reward is Always Waiting On the Other Side of Fear - with Laura Vaisman

In episode 70 on The Red Bra Project we had the privilege to spend some time with Author, Writer, Traveler, Jersey Girl at heart always, Laura  Vaisman. We don't mean the fist - pumping kinda Jersey girl, we mean the no bullshit, tell ya how it is, filter free Jersey girl!   

While Laura like many of us spent the last year at home - this year came  for Laura after a decade of traveling, living out of suitcases and  starting from a new slate with every new adventure. While it was an adjustment of course, Laura was grateful to have a home base for a bit  and for the time to focus on writing and publishing her second book,  Penny Panic A Young Girls Journey with Anxiety.    

This book was written from a place of warmth, love and understanding as  Laura herself used to have debilitating anxiety /panic attacks that she  no longer has. Through her own inner work, therapy and learning experiences from travels over the years have led her to gain the confidence in being authentically her. She wanted to write a relatable and fictional story for teens (and adults) struggling with anxiety that offered a tender story with coping skills. Laura shares with us that she  spent the time to do the research to create a book, a tool like no other one she found out there, less intimidating more supportive with a genuine reminder that they are not alone and get through this too, even when it feels absolutely impossible.    

Laura shares pieces of her personal story with us and we are literally holding onto every word. 

There are so many facets of Laura's life and  story that we are celebrating and highlighting - strength, perseverance,  grit, discovering the belief in herself...so much more. 

This episode is worth every second and packed with inspirational gems from Laura.   

 If you yourself or you have or know a teen that is struggling with  anxiety, Panic Penny could be just the book to add to your / their  personal tool box of coping mechanisms. 

Laura is on a mission to show people they are stronger than they  realize, reminds us all that we are a constant work in progress, labels  should not and do not define us, mental health is so important, the  power of vulnerability and that there is so much reward right on the  other side of fear.    Join us, share with a friend who needs Laura's story in their life.  

Remember, a story holds so much positivity to help and inspire.    

Thank you for being here, we appreciate you so much!   Connect with Laura @traveljerzgirl on IG / travelingjerseygirl.com

EP 68 There is No Such Thing as Can’t – Only Won’t with Metra Rowe

EP 68 There is No Such Thing as Can’t – Only Won’t with Metra Rowe

A natural born leader who has spent most of her life pushing boundaries (especially in gender equality) and defining societal norms of what she was "expected" to look like and behave like, we are so honored to introduce you to Metra Rowe for this week's Women Crush Wednesday!  

Metra is a Middle Eastern woman that was born and raised in the small kingdom of Bahrain. Both of her parents are of Middle Eastern decent, but her step mom is British so she was raised bi - cultural.    

Metra shares her inspiring story of how she moved to the UK in her early 20s, how her career evolved in her life, the impact one of her amazing mentors (Sally Tanski) has made in her life and how she has always known she was meant to lead, not follow - it just took her a little while to figure out how she was supposed to do just that. 

What she did know was that she did NOT have to listen to the naysayers that said she couldn't possibly achieve the same level success as her male counterparts or act / look a certain way in order to be heard. Her response, "watch me!"    

Metra whole heartily feels and believes that ANYTHING is possible if you put your mind to it - a lesson she learned from her father who is also her hero. ;-) Metra's father taught her that if she applied herself, nothing would be out of reach. She discovered he was onto something and she just had to focus her efforts.     

Which is exactly what she does. Metra zones in on a goal, a desire, a dream and goes after it, feeling the fear when it arises and doing it anyway.   Metra has an extensive background in equity, diversity and inclusion initiates within both the workplace and personal development.  

She helps others to become the best version of themselves, build confidence and push through limiting beliefs within her coaching abilities and #Spacetotalk​ an incredible organization she co-founded with James Jackson who are champions of diversity, equity and inclusion for all Ethnic Populations, Intersectionality and Cultures (EPIC).    

Relax, hit play and get ready to get inspired by the beautiful, courageous and kind Metra Rowe - through her story and personal share(s) she will remind you that you CAN achieve whatever you put your mind to, no matter what!    

Then, go check out the incredible place of #Spacetalk​ on LinkedIn and join the conversation.    Thank you fro being here! We appreciate you!

EP 67 Dream Big. Aim High. Soar. flyGIRL with Natalie Kelley

EP 67 Dream Big. Aim High. Soar. flyGIRL with Natalie Kelley

It all started with a love for flying as a child when she was bitten by the aviation bug flying aerobatics with her Uncle Robert.  

In 1999 Natalie created a bucket list and tucked it away to pull it back out 16  years later. The moment she read it, she knew she wouldn't be tucking it  back away anytime soon.  We are so excited to introduce and share Natalie Kelley's story with you  and highlight this amazing female pilot and mentor on The Red Bra  Project!   

When Natalie read "Earn a Private Pilot License" on her bucket list she  was reminded of a passion she had to follow through on and began to move  towards it immediately. Natalie knew that day was THE day. She picked  up the phone, called the flight school she wanted to attend, enrolled  and hasn't looked back since.   

Natalie was at a time in her life when she needed to go after this  dream, for herself. Through it all she rediscovered her belief in  herself, her self confidence and so much more along the journey. She  didn't let fear stop her, she didn't let the fact that she was in her  early 40's when she chose to move forward with becoming a pilot, she accepted that not everyone would understand her why, she did it for  herself.  

Fast forward to today (we chat a lot about the in - between in our convo) and Natalie not only is a pilot, she is on a mission to encourage  and inspire women and young girls to open their hearts and minds to their potential. She wants every girl and woman to dream big, aim high and fly! It is her flyGIRL mission.   After Natalie earned her pilot’s license, with her own money, Natalie launched flyGIRL and self-funded the first $5,000 flyGIRL Scholarship to  finance a portion of the cost to send another woman to pilot training.   

Today, flyGIRL has helped dozens of young women explore their potential  and change their lives through scholarships, a supportive network,  motivational articles and speaking engagements.   

Natalie's story is the ultimate reminder that life is full of  possibilities for EVERYONE and it's NEVER too late to go after a dream!   You will be so happy you hit play! Sit back, relax and get ready to get  after your dreams!   

Natalie has an awesome podcast called: Cockpits & Cocktails that is a  must listen!  Her website is packed with awesome resources, tools, inspo and super  cute flyGIRL gear in her shop. Give it a look and mention you heard  about flyGIRL on The Red Bra Project! ;-)   www.flygirlllc.com

EP 65 How To Thrive and Feel Sassy AF (without guilt) – From Despair to Freedom with Hallie Avolio

EP 65 How To Thrive and Feel Sassy AF (without guilt) – From Despair to Freedom with Hallie Avolio

Meet our vibrant and beautiful Red Bra guest, Hallie Avolio! Hallie is the President & Founder of Sassy Healthy Fit, a lifestyle brand that  empowers in Demand Women to prioritize themselves and UNLOCK their  sassy side without guilt (aka living sassy as f&c*)  

Hallie shared her story of the day she had an epic meltdown coupled with  a tantrum in a dressing room with horrible lighting. (Pretty sure we  can all picture the exact fitting room, been there!) It was in that  moment she said she was sick and tired of fighting off the demons, being  stuck in the destruction & victim mindset mentality and was ready to start making changes to take care of her mind, body & spirit.  (YAS!)  

The two year journey Hallie went on was made up of a lot of personal development reading, major nutritional changes and an absolute 100%  commitment to self love. Hallie recognized a need in that in Demand  Women are often doing, going, juggling, taking care of others and often  forget to take care of themselves. (sound familiar?!) Which led to Sassy  Healthy Fit being born!    

No road map, self talking down those limiting beliefs and a burning  passion to help other in Demand Women learn how to take care of  themselves WITHOUT guilt was Hallie's sole focus. She allowed the belief  and strength in her work to help push her through those uncomfortable  feelings because she knew she had to create a space for women to thrive  and say, "I'm going to put myself first" without any guilt. The positive  impact on women once she took the leap was evident.    

Hallie keeps it fun with her action plan of Simple, Sustainable &  Fun! Yasss, sign us up! She shares her ah - MAZING FB community with us,  the importance of a morning routine (check out her Morning Motivation  Minute on LinkedIn and IG) and more.   

Come hang with us - hit play on episode 65, you will thank yourself!    Thank you for being here - we appreciate you so much!

You are going to absolutely love our Red Bra guest this week and her  story of perseverance, standing up for voices that need to be heard and  overcoming barriers, especially in non - traditional roles.    

Meet Margie Crowe who is a mother, grandmother, educator, advocate,  doctoral candidate and retired military officer. Needless to say, our  Red Bra guest wears many hats. What is evident from the very first few  minutes in our conversation is Margie's passion for her servant  leadership, allowing herself and others grace in figuring out this thing  called, "life" and her genuine authenticity.    

Margie shares with us parts of her journey that have not only shaped who  she is today but inspire us that once again, age is JUST a number, that  it's ok to be imperfect and live a beautiful messy life all while  supporting others in their journey as well. Handing the ladder down to  empower those who have or are experiencing similar challenges is an  awesome philosophy Margie practices that we should all join in with to  help create a positive ripple effect in our world.    

There definitely needs to be a part II with Margie as we just barely  scratched the surface of her work in educational leadership, curriculum  development, student development planning, team building, diversity,  equity, inclusion and so much more. We touched on Covid - 19, the  reality of the mental stressors and what the support systems look like.    

This is an episode you do not want to miss! 

Sit back, relax and hit play. Please share with someone who needs Margie's story in their life.

Episode 63 holds such a special message within Shabnam's story about the power of hope, never giving up, how to let go of other people's opinion(s) and breaking through the silence.

EP 60 Freedom Comes From Within - The American Dream to Federal Prison and the Rise Up with Jennifer Myers

EP 60 Freedom Comes From Within - The American Dream to Federal Prison and the Rise Up with Jennifer Myers

Meet our unforgettable Red Bra guest, Jennifer Myers who is an author,  speaker, federal prison consultant, advocate for women in prison and  youth with incarcerated parents, co - founder of nonprofit R.I.S.E to  Empower, a ghost writer and Ideation Specialist.   

Jennifer shares her personal story of choice(s) that took her from the all - American mid- western girl pursuing big dreams as a performer  & choreographer to trafficking marijuana for a decade and getting  arrested by the Federal Government in 2002. It took 2.5 years to sentence her, in which she served 17 months in Federal Prison out of a 3  year sentence.   

Jennifer shares her feelings, emotions and thoughts behind the decisions  in her 20's that resulted in her getting caught up in something bigger  than herself that disrupted her life in a way she could have never  imagined. Jennifer's story is incredibly compelling from the journey,  downfall, rehabilitation and the rise back up.  

Jennifer chooses to share her vulnerable, powerful and authentic story  to help empower others to learn from her mistakes and because she  understands the magic that happens from sharing our stories with the  world. From inside of prison, while it was extremely tough, Jennifer  created relationships that she valued. Jennifer just KNEW she wanted to give BACK as soon as she was released, which is the exact path she  started on and has carved out every day.  

Today, Jennifer's passion to be an advocate for women (and men) and in  prison and youth with incarcerated parents led her to co - found R.I.S. E  to Empower. In 2009 she founded LA Myers Consulting, a business that  prepares women surrendering to prison and their families. She speaks  openly about the waiting period she personally experienced and how she helps others through that time, now. Jennifer wrote an incredible  memoir, "Trafficking the Good Life", is a Tedx Speaker and helps to guide others who aspire to be a Tedx Speaker to really hone in on their idea and express themselves through storytelling. 

This is really just  the tip of how Jennifer has been continuously working to create positive change through her own adversity.  No, we canNOT erase our bad decisions, but we can own them and DO better  moving forward, which is exactly the example Jennifer is leading by.  

We were honored to highlight Jennifer as one of our Red Bra Guests! Her  story is one of hope, resilience, mental toughness and vulnerability.  About forgiveness, conscious - choice making and surrendering to her  experience.

EP 59 Scientist Turned Musician – How ONE Decision Can Change Your Entire Life’s Path with Lauren Bateman

EP 59 Scientist Turned Musician – How ONE Decision Can Change Your Entire Life’s Path with Lauren Bateman

We had an absolute BLAST highlighting, celebrating & raising up Red Bra guest, Lauren Bateman this week! Talk about how much one's life can change with ONE single decision.   

Music has always been a passion of Lauren's and we are so excited to share her story on The Red Bra Project about how she left her "cushy" job in her late 20's as a Scientist to pursue a career in music. Lauren not only taught herself how to play, but now teaches others online as well as operates three music schools in the Boston area.   

Lauren helps her students to achieve their dreams of learning how to play the guitar in a simple, non - traditional, fun & interactive way from the very beginning, one guitar lesson at a time! Key word, she keeps it FUN, not overwhelming or stressful which is immediately noticeable even when just watching some of her online lessons.   

As a childhood cancer survivor, Lauren shares with us how she completely understands what it means to live in the moment. Her story is absolutely inspiring as she tells us the moment when she knew she had to make the career change, mind you holding a degree in Biology & Archeology and not at all in music.   

"Believe in yourself even when not "qualified" to do what you want, life is all about obstacles and challenges but it's how you will tackle those in your own unique way that makes you successful in life," she said. (We LOVE her mindset!)   Lauren's passion for music and helping others to learn literally radiates as she shares her story with us.

Compromised of strong character, a beautiful soul, and a desire to help people understand how to live in an extremely diverse world while respecting differences, Sejal is truly a genuine gift. Upon our first introduction to Sejal Thakkar it was clear that she is a force to be reckoned with and inspires one to find the “unstoppable” deep inside of you through her story!     

Sejal Thakkar is Founder and Chief Civility Officer of TrainXtra.  Watch episode 57 with us as Sejal shares her story of being a daughter of immigrants in the United States, growing up in a suburb of Chicago where she fought hatred and discrimination on a regular basis. Sejal explains how she came to make the decision that her young experiences impacted her at a very young age.  

Ultimately, she refused to allow ignorance, insensitivity, and the bullying conduct of others to impact her inner “ninja”. She chose not to sit in her suffering of racism and remain a victim to those around her that were being bullies. Sejal, armed with personal knowledge she gained from her experiences seized the opportunity to rise above it and let teaching kindness be her purpose in life. 

Sejal shares with us how she become an advocate for change from her youth that carried into her adult life as an educator, teaching others how to practice civility in the workplace.     

From Red Bra Moments to Inner Ninjas, Sejal's story will leave you inspired, thinking on your toes and ready for change!

EP 55 Marine Corps Veteran, Momma & Skoolie Builder Bringing Art to Veterans – Jessica Rambo

EP 55 Marine Corps Veteran, Momma & Skoolie Builder Bringing Art to Veterans – Jessica Rambo

Jessica is a former Marine having served in active duty for 10 years, momma of two awesome kids, artist, business owner and as of most  recently can add bus conversion guru to her already admirable list of  accomplishments and mountains she has worked to climb & conquer.   

Immediately evident from our conversation with Jessica is that she has  chosen to be a warrior, even when that meant trying and trying  again...she has gained her admirable mental strength through her own  life experiences and is courageously sharing her story. She shares about a life changing vehicle accident on her way to Marine Corps Base Quantico in which her recovery challenged her in many, many ways. 

Candidly talking about her personal struggles, finding a purpose  in civilian life again and working through her issues in a way that was  beneficial to her eventually led her to buying a 1997 Bluebird bus. Why not, right?! The Bluebird previously belonged to a high school marching  band in New Jersey, but was now The Rambo's family project.     

Jessica dove in and converted it from the floorboards up to the ceiling,  including all house systems (ie: electrical, water, plumbing, etc) and a  (well deserved, in our opinion) 4' tub as well (gotta have a lil'  something for herself ;-)!) transforming this ol' band bus into not only  a tiny home for her family, but the Painted Buffalo Traveling Studio.  

The Painted Buffalo, Jessica and her family now travel the country  helping to teach Veterans how to tell their stories through art and grow  from their trauma.    Episode 56 is packed with energy, inspiration and every bit of motivation you may be needing to conquer your own mountain(s)! Jessica  is truly a powerhouse, learning along the way and empowering others.   

Sit back, hit play and be inspired. Please share with someone who could  use this story in their life.     

Thank you for being here, we truly appreciate you!

EP 54 Lighting Her Path Through Darkness…with Heather Carr

EP 54 Lighting Her Path Through Darkness…with Heather Carr

This week we are highlighting and celebrating the courageous Heather Carr and her beautiful family as she shares how their entire life took a  turn and literally changed overnight. We are so excited to share  Heather's story of strength, hope and light with all of you!  Heather is a police and army wife to her amazing husband of 11 years,  raising their three adorable kiddos.  

To say Heather's family has lived a  lot of life in a few years would be just the beginning. Raising a young  family while her husband served his military duties and safely  returning the couple decided to begin renovating their home and working  on their small hobby farm in Washington state on their beautiful  riverside property. 

Heather openly shares what it was like one night in December when the family went to bed after decorating their Christmas  tree to waking up the next day and discovering that they were going to lose their home to the Nisqually river in 2015.  In one night, Heather, her husband and their one & three year old  daughters were homeless.  

The river overflowed her banks, changing her course, undercutting the  Carr home causing the county to condemn and demolish their beautiful  home to keep it from falling into the river. To hear Heather tell her  story from the moment they realized they could be in danger to being  told they had to evacuate immediately to packing an Adidas backpack with  diapers, onesies and a few personal items is heartbreaking...but it  wasn't permanent. 

Heather takes us along her journey from the uncertain moments to the tough times, Heather shares some of the most important  decisions that her and her husband chose to make. Literally re - building a strong foundation from the the ground up and how following an  instinctive nudge to start making soy candles was exactly the healing  process her family needed to move forward.  

Sweet & Wild Farms was born out of hope to move on and keep growing.  It is a tangible way Heather and her family share hope with the world  even when it seems like all is lost. It is all about the dream and  turned out to be the pathway of love the Carr's traveled to get there.  

Tune in with us tonight -- we promise you will  find some inspiration in  Heather's resilient story of grit, faith and immense gratitude for  everyone that helped to lift her & her family up in love &  light.

For that, Heather is forever changed and giving back every chance  she gets, "My hope for this company is more than to sell candles, it's  to be a light in the darkness through love and hope that things will get  better," Heather said.  We will see you there! 

Thank you for being here and sharing / tagging  someone who could really use Heather's story in their life right now. 

We  appreciate you so much!

There IS enough for everyone, together we can rise and just because something is intimidating or you may be thinking there is "too much" of  leaders, that skill set, etc, out there -- remember, no ONE is you and  only YOU can uniquely show up in your way. Don't allow that fear &  excuse to stop you from putting some ACTION behind goals.   

Ready is a lie and you CAN do it!   

Thank you for being here, we know you will be inspired by Heather's  story. Please share with someone who you may think that could really use  hearing her story as well. We appreciate you!

EP 49 Adderall Free and THRIVING After 23 Years – With Audrey Stimpson

EP 49 Adderall Free and THRIVING After 23 Years – With Audrey Stimpson

Launching into 2020 we are SO excited to introduce you to our first guest highlight of the decade Audrey Stimpson on The Red Bra Project .  

Audrey shares a beautifully inspiring, vulnerable and hopeful story  about addiction, breaking it and living life in the most fulfilling way  for her possible, post Adderall.     

At the sweet age of 7, Audrey was prescribed Adderall to help with her  diagnosis of ADHD. Fast forward twenty some years and from the outside  looking in at Audrey's life it would appear as if she reached the  pinnacle of "success" with the Empire State Building view literally from  her window, a successful digital marketing business, a seasoned  photographer working with top brands and living the dream life. To say  she was slaying at being a boss babe would be just the icing on the  cake. On the inside though, she was falling extremely ill, the drug was  taking a toll on her body and truthfully, she was actually using  Adderall to Slay.     

Audrey knew she had to change something as she felt her health spiraling  out of control.     

Audrey's story is so important to share because it deals with breaking  addiction, the habit and how to cope with coming off the drug. She  shares the step(s), methods and life changes that worked for her. 

She needs you to know that IF you are struggling with addiction, it IS  possible to get off of Adderall and not just survive, but to thrive.   

If you yourself are struggling with addiction and yearning for help, support and hope, you have to tune into Audrey's story. If you know  someone who this story will help, please share with them.
