And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery

For so many modern, driven women, life is about being more than one thing. We’re multidimensional—and so are our conversations. We carry multiple identities; we can be both mother and artist; both attorney and entrepreneur. Both clinician and CEO. Both humble and proud. Life for women like us is about both. About...all of the above. It’s about the “and”...

Break the Good Girl Myth + Unleash Your Power With Majo Molfino

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

09/25/20 • 37 min

For thousands of years, women have been taught to be good above all else.

You know... follow the rules, trust our logic over intuition, keep the peace, make everyone else happy, and sacrifice ourselves to achieve our goals.

Whew... glad those days are over... oh wait...they’re not.

Being the ‘good girl’ holds us back from our true potential. It keeps us from being POWERFUL.

On today’s episode of “And She Spoke” we get to the root of what’s really holding us back with the 5 good girl myths women believe and live by every day from Majo Molfino.

You have to follow the Rules
Strive for Perfection
Trust Logic over intuition
Maintain the Harmony
Sacrifice yourself for others

By examining the ways in which your beliefs and behaviors drive your life and cause you to self-sabotage, you open up space to create better habits.

Whether it’s fear of taking time and energy away from our spouse or kids, concern over everyone else’s contentment, or any other conditioned belief -- it takes a concerted effort to break free from those thought patterns.

And every time you choose yourself first, you reinforce your worth.

Let’s ditch ‘good’ and embrace ‘powerful’ because the world needs our voices now more than ever!

Here’s a peek at what else we discuss:

Why you’re still trying to prove yourself and fit in
Deconditioning prototypical good girl behaviors
How girlhood affects us as leaders, contributors and entrepreneurs
Learning to redefine our understanding about patriarchy
Making conscious sacrifices for our goals
Designing the life you want

How to Survive Cancel-Culture with Kelly Diels

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

01/16/24 • 61 min

There are far too many women today who won’t make themselves visible due to a fear of visibility itself — a fear of being targeted, trashed, and taken down.

Joining us today is return guest, Kelly Diels, who always brings new and insightful ideas to the conversation. Kelly is a business teacher for Culture Makers where she helps socially conscious entrepreneurs achieve, not just financial success, but critical gains for social justice.

Hear us unpack the intricacies of cancel-culture and public trashing, the fears that stop women from putting their work out into the world, and what can be done to address this.

You’ll hear personal insights from both Jeni & Kelly about their experiences, the key lessons they took from it, what this type of targeting demonstrates about society’s treatment of women, and why communal action is essential if we want to change these cultural trends.

To learn more about the forces behind these movements and the antidote to online trashing, be sure to tune in to the important conversation!

Here’s a sneak peek of what we discuss:

Detailing the fears Kelly’s clients have around being targeted online.
The cultural shift from being targeted by your ideological opponents to your peers.
Why being targeted by your peers is more harmful than being targeted by your opponents.
Mainstream culture’s expectation of women and what happens when they deviate from it.
Unpacking what incentivizes people to initiate trashing campaigns.
The impulse to level women who are considered to have too much power and resources.
Historical teachings on (and examples of) trashing and what we can learn from it.
Why it takes a community, not an individual, to stop the trashing trend.
Kelly’s experience of public shaming and her advice to others going through it.
How to put up boundaries when it comes to trashing and canceling.
Bearing people’s humanity in mind when you are being trashed.

Beating Perfection Paralysis

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

03/03/20 • 31 min

Remember when you’d work your tush off just so that you get handed a shiny gold star in front of the whole class?

Yeah, us too.

Our theory is that this behavior is why so many women in business identify as perfectionists today.

When we had a show of hands in our community, there were SO many of you who identified as loud and proud perfectionists.

And, we can definitely relate.

But, perfectionism has a dark side. And that’s what we’ll be exploring in today’s episode. Tune in to learn more about how to reign in your perfectionism and find the courage to fail (with pride).

Here’s a peek at what else you can expect:

Our own struggles with perfectionism
How the quest for perfection can damage your business

Top Online Business Trends In 2022

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

03/08/22 • 30 min

Running an online business can be draining.

Especially in a global pandemic.

If you spent most of last year glued to the screen, working 13 hours a day, and wading through digital noise, you aren’t the only one.

2020 and 2021 were not kind to entrepreneurs.

But with a new year comes a fresh perspective.

And one big trend that we stand behind for 2022 is digital minimalism.

Digital minimalism means taking the time to look at how you’re running your business and think, “How can I best deliver to my clients/students?”

The “best” could look like rethinking your offers and seeing if they make sense in the context of your current clientele, clocking how much time you’re spending in front of a screen (and minimizing it), or simply ensuring that you’re making your processes cleaner, simpler, and more accessible for both you and your clients.

As female creators, our instinct is to add as much value as we can, create more and put as much out to the world as possible.

But today, the narrative is different.
Audiences now are all about quality over quantity.

And scaling back your digital elbow grease is one of the easiest ways to execute top-quality services daily!

So, if you want to hear our in-depth takes on the trend (and how you can apply it to your own business), as well as our input on several huge 2022 business trends, this episode is for you!

This is what we’re jumping into for this one:

4 Marvelous-approved trends that’ll make you rethink how you see your online business in 2022
The big content shift: working on creating better, not “more”
What the online teaching model is evolving into
The wonders that effective advertising + your organic content strategy can create
SLOs and how they can essentially save your ad cost
The audio trend (and why it’s not going anywhere)
Exploring the metaverse and Web 3.0
The great rise of the Female Creator Economy

We’re looking at a big year for online businesses (especially the creator economy) and we can’t wait to learn more and explore as we go.

If you’re interested in shaking things up in your own workflows and trying something new and different this year, this is the perfect episode to get started!

The Three Most Common Pricing Mistakes

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

05/09/23 • 28 min

Finding the ideal pricing for your offer can be a fraught process, riddled with stress and self-doubt. This is especially true for young entrepreneurs who don’t yet have the confidence that comes with repeatedly demonstrating the true value of their product. It also strongly applies to women, many of whom have been conditioned to undervalue themselves and prioritize the needs of others.

That is why today’s episode is all about cultivating the right mindset for pricing your offers. We break down how the wrong mindset can lead to key missteps in pricing, the consequences thereof, and what you can do to find your pricing sweet spot. We unpack the many pitfalls of undercharging, why overcharging usually comes down to confidence, and the reason why most of us can afford to be more strategic with our discounts. You’ll also hear us share details of our own pricing journey and the transformative power of confidence.

Here’s a sneak peek of what we discuss:

The anxiety that many entrepreneurs experience around pricing.
Learn about the classic pricing mistakes that most entrepreneurs make.
How needing to be liked and accepted can lead you to undercharge.
Some of the societal programming that prevents women from charging more.
An overview of the rhetoric around making money in the wellness space.
The negative consequences of undercharging your clients.
Why focusing on making money is much more productive than being frugal.
The subjective nature of pricing when it comes to overcharging or undercharging.
How well-meaning encouragement can lead to overpricing.
Why you need to be confident in what you’re selling and the amount that you’re charging.
How to find your pricing sweet spot and why coaching can help.
The preparation work you need to do before you increase your price.
Tactics and strategies that elevate your offer and give you added confidence.

Finding Your Community and Discovering Where You Truly Belong with Emilia van Hauen

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

04/13/21 • 33 min

The event of the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the way in which many of us interact with each other, including finding a sense of belonging in our communities. Many people are feeling isolated, lonely, and depressed.

Today’s guest is Emilia van Hauen, a Cultural Sociologist, Author, Marketing Expert, and International Keynote Speaker on modern ways of life and social trends.

During our conversation, Emilia sheds light on how communities have changed in modern times, and people now have the freedom to create their own identities and find specific communities where they belong. She also explains how, paradoxically, this freedom creates a sense of pressure for people to succeed, which can have negative consequences. She goes on to explain how COVID-19 has affected our ability to engage in healthy relationships, and how things may be different in the post-pandemic world.

This episode provides fascinating sociological insight for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider (which is apparently 99.5% of people), so don’t miss it!

Here’s a peek at what else we discuss:

The prevalence of people feeling disconnected from their communities in today’s world.
How being an outsider can be a positive thing.
How society is moving away from the ‘bound communities’ that we are born into.
How COVID-19 and living life online has affected one’s sense of community.
The importance of good relationships in living a happy and healthy life.
How relationships have been affected by the physical distance created by COVID-19.
How relationships and communities may be different after the pandemic.
Thoughts on whether or not the trend of digital nomadism will affect one’s sense of community going forward.
How a sense of belonging, or being ‘owned’, is often more important than a glamorized sense of freedom.
Being in a relationship and being independent doesn’t have to be contradictory.

This week’s Joy:

Emilia’s joy is a symbolic dragon sculpture which she bought not only because of “Game of Thrones” but also because of a conversation she had with a friend of hers about dragons — that they are free, creative, and strong. She shares that the normal story we hear about dragons is that they have to be killed by a prince in order to save the princess from the tower. But what we need to understand is that instead of killing the dragon, we have to tame it and then we take flight with it. Every time she meets a problem, she thinks about it as a dragon that she needs to tame and it can take her on a flight.

This week’s Hustle:

Emilia’s hustle is watching a lot of TV series because they tell a lot of stories about different people — about how we live and how we live together. By watching a lot of stories, she is able to understand all kinds and ways of living together, and it’s fun, too!

Claudia Chan and Lessons in Leadership

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

07/15/20 • 54 min

Who is a leader? What is leadership?

Can you only lead if you’re an owner, founder or a C-suite executive?

According to today’s guest, Claudia Chan, absolutely not.

And as a leadership and culture change expert, she’s made it her mission to provide the world with a more holistic, inclusive, and purpose-driven definition of leadership.

One that doesn’t discriminate against gender, race, economic background, or even your job title.

In the cut-throat world of business, entrepreneurs are taught to be ruthless, cold, and enigmatic to be successful. In the white male-dominated view of leadership, there’s no room for spirituality, empathy, or humility.

Clearly, in our present day, these definitions just don’t work. Businesses all over the world are learning the importance of inclusive workplaces and empathetic messaging.

And leaders simply cannot thrive by embracing outdated ideals and definitions of ‘effective’ leadership, taught by an overwhelmingly male and caucasian demographic through books, TV appearances, and conferences.

In today’s episode, listen in as Claudia describes how opportunities to lead are all around us, why women need to embrace their intuition in business, and why it’s so important to change the definition of what makes a good leader in our society.

Claudia’s message is an important one right now. We NEED new forms of leadership in a world that’s going through metamorphosis.

And we hope this episode might steer our listeners to it.

Here’s a peek at what else you can expect:

Why 2020 is the year of innovation
How current definitions of leadership can be rectified
Why analyzing your past is important to be a good leader
How being aggressive in internal growth helps
The people who are most affected by the pandemic
Why intuition and ‘gut instincts’ aren’t poor business decisions
How to relabel mistakes
