THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:

Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, wondering if your professional life truly reflects who you are? Sarah Moore joins me, Amy Vaughn, to talk about her book "Full of Herself" and share the lessons learned from her own varied career path. As an esteemed women's leadership coach, she brings to the table a wealth of experiences that illustrate the joy and growth found in pursuing a career aligned with your personal values. Together, we navigate through the intricate tapestry of professional endeavors, unraveling how to transform not just your career, but your life.
Embarking on a journey of self-discovery, we confront the shadows of self-doubt and the light of self-confidence. With Sarah's guidance, we tackle the cultural pressures that push us into the comparison trap and discuss ways to step into our own stories with pride. I'll even share my own encounter with self-assertion at a hair salon, a scenario many can relate to, which became a turning point in understanding the profound impact of confidence in everyday life. This episode is peppered with insights on how to cultivate an environment where self-worth thrives and comparison dwindles.
In a world that often mistakes self-love for arrogance, we're flipping the script. We delve into the transformative practices that can lead to a life of authenticity and fulfillment—discussing everything from emotional charts to 'pump up sessions' that rewire our thinking. Sarah and I provide you with the practical tools to navigate life's decisions with a blend of vulnerability and courage, ensuring your actions are in harmony with your deepest values. Prepare to be equipped with the strategies needed to reset your thoughts and live a life that's unapologetically yours. Join us for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is actionable.

Learn how to own the power of your multitudes, act on and embracing your ambition, and find your North Star to guide your decisions.
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:

If you’re a fan of books, or of reading in general, you’ve probably heard of Hitha Palepu. Palepu’s new book, "We're Speaking: The Life Lessons of Kamala Harris" encourages everyone to find their own “north star” and celebrate their multitudes.

We are honored and excited to invite Hitha into our community of women working with passion and purpose.

THIS WEEK'S GUEST:

Hitha Palepu is a woman of multitudes—a feminist, a lifelong politics enthusiast, a daughter of immigrants, and a mother raising feminist sons. These multitudes spill into her multi-hyphenated career as an entrepreneur, investor, writer, and speaker.

Hitha’s passion for the news and politics is captured in #5SmartReads, a Webby-honored social series that shares 5 must-read articles every day to keep her community informed without being overwhelmed. Hitha's longtime blog, Hitha On The Go, established her as an authority on lifestyle topics and gave way to her book and collaborations with leading brands such as Headspace, Google, and Northwestern Mutual. Her book, How To Pack, was published by Clarkson Potter in 2017.

As CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals, Hitha oversees financing, partnerships, and strategy for the company. Hithan also puts her money where her values are through early stage investing. A partner in Adama Ventures (her family office), she has invested in innovative companies primarily founded by women and focused on women (MM.LaFleur, Girls' Night In, Brightland, and Heymama among them). She is a sought-after speaker on politics & the news, investing, entrepreneurship, work-life juggle, and motherhood.

Hitha has spoken at The Riveter Summit, Fohr, Global Brands Group and was selected to speak at SXSW 2020. She is represented by AllRaise's Visionary Voices speakers bureau.

In her most recent book called We're Speaking: The Life Lessons of Kamala Harris: How to Use Your Voice, Be Assertive, and Own Your Story, she connects illuminating stories from Harris’ unique biography with tactical advice on the importance of being assertive and true to yourself in your personal life and work alike.

Learning and understanding cultural norms outside our own can be an effective and meaningful way to evolve our business and lives.
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:

In life and business, learning and understanding cultural norms outside our own can be an effective and meaningful way to expand upon your evolving company culture. The Pandemic has taught us some of this.

For example, we will be discussing with cultural enthusiast Clara Matonhodze Strode the Concept of Ubuntu. Clara grew up in Ubuntu culture and had the lived experience of what Ubuntu systems and culture look like in society. Ubuntu principles operate from our human core, acknowledging and appreciating the dignity in each of us and how it makes us wiser and more robust. In Ubuntu culture, Justice is restorative, and contrary to popular belief, women are exalted as Mothers of humankind. Relationships are on the continuum of humanity, and society is on a journey of constant improvement, love, support, and encouragement.

Listeners will take away:

• The Principles of Ubuntu/hunhu in African Culture
• How Ubuntu/hunhu can be applied in everyday life and business
• Understand the African origins of Ubuntu/hunhu within public and private intellectual discussions and whether or not Hunhu/Ubuntu can compete with other philosophical world views.

THIS WEEK'S GUEST:

Clara Matonhodze Strode has been a Member of Together Digital for the past three years, Most recently serving as an Advisory Board Member.

When she's not active in our community, she is the Founder of The MCS Agency, a digital marketing communications agency that helps clients clearly and effectively communicate their messages to the right audiences by using an integrated mix of tactics, strategies, and SAAS products. Clara proudly employs the principles of Ubuntu in her business.

Before starting her own business, Clara worked at multiple organizations, including The Cincinnati Museum Center, where she directed Adult and Cultural lectures and large-scale festivals. Her roots run deep within the African Immigrant Community, where for years, she convened the Africa Foundation-USA Annual Symposium with Xavier University, bringing together leaders within the African Community. Clara is also a Co-Founder and ex-officio of the Pan-African group - APNET (African Professionals Network). Recently she received a leadership award from Global Diaspora One Voice Consortium.

In true ubuntu fashion, Clara can be found assisting not only African causes but the Indian Film Festival of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Sister Cities International, where she serves as Secretary and was a key community partner for Cincinnati Compass.
