Why Women Have To Be Hard-Ass | S2 : Ep6

05/12/22 • 25 min

Tune in today for our Sixth Episode of Season 2 when Petula Sankarsingh, VisionReady CEO and Disrupt Your Day Host, chats with Michelle Harthill, Founder of Meeschell, a marketplace e-retailer for natural, organic, and eco-friendly brands created by women entrepreneurs.
Twenty years prior to Meeschell, she founded Harthill Marketing Services offering full-service marketing to CPG clients.
"During my CPG days, I found several men in corporate America to be narcissistic, thinking that they were a higher authority than me or other women," recalls Michelle. "Because I’ve been regimented all these years to be a hard-ass—I’m really not, but I can be—I try to be very giving and open-minded."
Now she aligns herself with organizations that support women and children such as Network of Executive Women, Girls for Greatness, Child USA, Laura's House and more!
"When I first joined the Network of Executive Women, there were no men," says Michelle. "Fast forward eight years later, men are getting involved. It seems many of them realize that women bring certain skillsets to the table as leaders that men need to have on their team."

Draw Your Power from Adversity and Loss | S2 : Ep 5

Draw Your Power from Adversity and Loss

Tune in today for our Fifth Episode of Season 2 when Petula Sankarsingh, VisionReady CEO and Disrupt Your Day Host, chats with Amy Jorgensen, Founder of Blocked Emotions Energy Healing where she imparts her strength, wisdom, and knowledge to guide others through hardships in life.

Following the conventional college education path to the most enthralling job as a pilot in the Air Force, Amy was raising the bar for women wanting to pursue their dreams fearlessly.

"Joining the military was my first taste of getting into a gender-oriented field," recounts Amy. "When you show up and the others realize that the person in charge is female, they expect you to prove to them that you can run this crew. If you’re a guy, they don’t care if you’re incompetent, but if you’re a woman, you’re held to a higher standard."

On her journey, Amy learned firsthand how gender bias shows up in all aspects of life, how to stand up for herself, how to survive the pain of loss, and how to rise above the artificial standards that society imposes on our true nature. It was a journey that eventually helped Amy to awaken and celebrate her authentic self, and it aligned her with her purpose and passion.

"Our biggest trials and our most difficult suffering bring us the greatest growth," says Amy. There’s so much to unpack from this podcast and we’re sure it will be one of your favorites from Disrupt Your Day.

Don’t Leave Money on the Table. Get Certified! | S2: Ep7

Tune in today for our Seventh Episode of Season 2 when Petula Sankarsingh, VisionReady CEO and Disrupt Your Day Host, chats with Liz Coalts, Owner of The Anxious Adult, LLC helping smart and overwhelmed adults manage the anxieties of business and life. "Let me help you manage the logistics of your business so you can focus on the parts you love," is her business tagline.

As an experienced vendor and contract manager working in the public sector for over 15 years, Liz has deep perspective on the challenges that diverse owned businesses face in trying to level the playing field for equal access to contracts.

"For private corporations, change has to happen from within," says Coalts. "They need to understand that they should be trying to diversify their supply chain and give more opportunities to small businesses owned by minorities, women, LGBTQ, disabled veterans, and other diverse segments of the population."

Liz encourages small businesses to take advantage of the fact that local governments have been mandated for some time now to diversify their supply chain. The key for a business to gain an edge over the competition is by becoming certified.

"Although the procurement would be an open call, most public agencies and some private corporations prefer to work with companies that are certified in at least one diverse category in order to meet the agencies’ diversity goals," points out Coalts. "Being certified makes you the preferred vendor in any opportunity. When the competition gets heated, you need every advantage you can get!"
