This episode:
"We have no 100% accurate representation for our own eyes to witness how the rest of the world sees us."
Lisa Haukom is a multifaceted creative. She is championing a self-acceptance movement with the mission to change how people see themselves. Through her Self Portrait Method, Lisa connects individuals through vulnerability, truth-sharing, and the bravery to be themselves. Her approach diverges from the trend of over-edited social media photos, focusing instead on rooted psychology, direct action, and self-love. Lisa's method helps people see themselves with increased compassion, kindness, and love—through the lens of their camera.
Lisa joins me to discuss her approach to empowering entrepreneurs and personal brands to gain confidence in their photos using the camera in their pocket. We also discuss addressing the psychology of self-perception and the impact of societal standards on self-image.

Today's episode:
This Smart Girl Mastermind alum tells her story of manifesting a fashion career and then her faith-based transformation, mindset, and hypnotherapy business.
"I switched careers and it had nothing to do with wanting to do something new. It was one of those seasons of life where life will sit you down to build you up."
Kailani began her career in the fashion industry as a Wardrobe Stylist working with a range of celebrities, TV and Film as well as magazine publications. This was her first experience of “manifesting her dreams, co-creating with God and creating her own heaven on earth.”
But then, a “situationship” with a boy turned her life upside down –– in the best way!
With an intention to get her revenge body and make him jealous, she instead, found herself. She discovered a whole new world of wellness; mental wellness, emotional wellness and spiritual wellness. The question she was faced with was “why am I just learning all of this and how can I get this to more women?” And that was the beginning of everything.
