**1. Introduction - In this competitive job market, one soft skill that will set you apart from your competitors is PASSION.

Assisting 27 of my clients with doubling their salaries over the past 5 years, they were able to passionately articulate what they wanted, could see toxic jobs a mile away and confidently ask for what they wanted to fit the lifestyle they desired. They aren’t working harder, in fact they work 50% less because they aren’t doing 20 good things trying to feel successful, they are doing 2-3 right things.

In today’s episode, I’m going to provide you proven strategies for manifesting your dream job.

To Better Understand Manifestation

The Law of Attraction works whether or not you know….
Many times you focus on what you don’t want instead of what you do want.

1. Set Clear Intentions

What does your dream life look like? That’s the equation to solve for. Many times people think the dream job will give them the dream life, but that’s putting the cart before the horse.

Define your dream life and how you want to feel everyday and then attract the job opportunities to give you what you clearly defined.

2. Redefine What Success Means to You Today

Old way is based on societal expectations, if you had certain things you’d be happy. Now you have what you imagined in your 20s but you’re using the old data and that’s why success may not feel like success How do you want to FEEL in your life is the equation to solve for.

3. Be Specific on What You Desire

Are you more clear on what you want instead of what you don’t want. Instead of saying I don’t want to work in a toxic job, say I want to be respected for my value. Instead of I don’t want to go into the office, say I want a flexible work schedule or 100% remote
Write the Vision and Make it Plain (Chipotle Menu)

4. Look For Opportunities that Align With What You Clearly Defined In Interviews you’ll be passionate because it’s what you want. While others are just looking for a job, your passion will be attractive to hiring managers.

E77 How To Set Boundaries With Family

Sat, 22 Jun 2024 10:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Christy Rutherford discusses how to set boundaries with family for people who struggle with people pleasing and sacrificing themselves to make others happy. Christy argues that most people have difficulty saying "no'' because they want to avoid hurting others' feelings and desire approval. However, this often leads to feeling used, overwhelmed, and miserable as they continuously say "yes" to things they don't truly want to do.

Christy advises us to consider who really benefits from our "yes"- are we enabling toxic behavior or sacrificing too much of ourselves? She says saying "no" often means people pleasing less and respecting ourselves more. Christy suggests asking two questions before saying "yes": Do you want to do it? How will you feel when you do it? If the answer to either is negative, it's best to just say "no." Serving others out of obligation plants a "negative seed" that brings negative returns, while saying "yes" from a place of genuine willingness brings positive energy.

Christy encourages everyone to own their value, claim the gifts they already have, and take credit for the work they've done. She argues that companies are eager for harmonious, high-achieving women on their teams.

Overall, the episode emphasizes the importance of self-love, self-respect, and truth-telling to overcome people-pleasing tendencies and gain the clarity, confidence, and peace needed to say "no" in an authentic and impactful way.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

How women are often conditioned at a young age to please others and surrender their joy.

Why serving out of obligation is not a "good seed" and does not bring positive returns.

The importance of owning one's values, gifts, and achievements in order to command what one deserves.

How resolving one's own "baggage" helps avoid triggering others' trauma at work.

The value harmonious, high-achieving women bring to companies.

E76 Why Am I Here?

Sat, 15 Jun 2024 10:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Christy explores why we are here and how to reach our full potential. She explains that you came into this life to be great but childhood experiences can shape who you become and cause you to forget your true self. Through personal development, renewing your mindset, and forgiving the past, you can transform and reconnect to the light within you.

Your light, peace, and love already exist within you. The shift begins with accepting that this is possible for you. When triggered at work or in conflict, the root issue may lie in unhealed trauma from your past. Forgiving those who hurt you can help avoid reacting from a wounded place.

It's a lifelong process of renewing your mind through reading, listening, and applying information. Mastering one book that you read again and again will have more impact than reading a thousand books superficially. This inner transformation is how we reconnect with our true selves and rediscover our purpose in life.

Ready to blaze your trail and get closer to achieving the life of your dreams? Ready... Set… GO! Denise Felipe-Adams is here on Why She's Winning with valuable insight into how you can take control, set yourself up for success, and move toward manifesting everything that sets your soul ablaze.

Denise felt stagnant and at a loss before connecting with Vision Finder International.

Friendships built through connections with like-minded individuals allowed Denise to understand more about herself than ever before - inspiring growth from within. She further encourages all people by emphasizing spiritual intentionality, believing anything is possible if you focus your energy positively – joy awaits us around every corner waiting for our embrace!

No matter the obstacles, Denise has proven that it is possible to find strength within ourselves and create a life full of joy.

Today on “Why She’s Winning”, I talk with Mitchelle Pierre-Poinsette about how you can get promoted by unlocking your executive presence. Join us as we talk about how to get paid what you’re worth and do what you love.

Here’s a snippet of this episode:

“It's not a good scenario where you're looking for others to tell you what your worth and value is. So stop accepting the roles, but start setting goals and move towards them.”

—Mitchelle Pierre-Poinsette

Show Notes and Youtube Description

Hey there! This is Christy Rutherford, your host for Why She’s Winning. Today, Mitchelle Pierre-Poinsette and I talk about getting promoted by unlocking your executive presence.

Mitchelle Pierre-Poinsette has spent 15+ years advising health plans and a range of health care professionals on strategies to improve health outcomes while developing infrastructure to comply with applicable laws. She is detailed and research-oriented with a gift for simplifying complex issues for senior leadership to understand and make informed decisions.

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

Mitchelle’s Challenges That Made Her Reach Out & Change

At first thought, Mitchelle’s wanted to get help with advancing her career as an in-house lawyer.

But after our first conversation, she walked away thinking she might need a little bit more help. Cause I had her thinking about some internal work that she needed to do.

She realized that it wasn't just executive presence, which she thought was what she needed to advance. She actually needed to do some internal work within her, which in turn would allow her to show up differently for those opportunities that would unfold on their own, as opposed to chasing after something.

What Mitchelle Thought Executive Presence Was & It To Be

Initially, Mitchelle thought it was showing up to meetings prepared to put on a show. To put on a show in a way that appealed to the individuals that were at the table. She thought she needed to know how to show up in a way where she can be seen and viewed as an effective leader and not an angry black woman.

But after the work we’ve done so far, she realizes that It's really not about how she shows up, but how she determines her worth. Before she was allowing others to determine her own worth as opposed to her knowing her worth and just showing up as a person that needs to be valued.

Sat, 16 Mar 2024 10:00:00 -0400

I have been coaching for a loooooooooong time, long before social media was created so I have been in the game for over 20 years...

And I have NEVER seen so many women collectively suffering... 😳

Women finding comfort and commonality in suffering.

Women complaining about their coworkers while suffering mental and physical destruction.

IT IS ABSOLUTE MADNESS!

Only because I self-destructed 10 years ago and somehow thought it would be better for us. 🧐

It's better for some and worse for others.

And the difference is DECISION on which one you're going to be.

Join me and let's unpack how I dug myself out of a hole after catastrophic burnout and losing everything.

AND I MEAN EVERYTHING.🤯

Don't be like me.

Your life will NEVER be the same for the best.💙

E44 How To Choose Joy Daily With Jennifer Meyers

Sat, 19 Aug 2023 10:00:00 -0400

In this insightful episode, the discussion revolved around the journey of personal discovery and the essence of self-acceptance. While many individuals are on a constant quest to rediscover themselves, the true endeavor should be in remembering and embracing who we truly are. Authenticity plays a pivotal role, and the conversation touches upon the significance of being genuine without suppressing one's true nature.

A major highlight of the episode was the emphasis on personal well-being and its ripple effect on those around us. When individuals neglect their personal happiness and health, it not only affects them but also creates a negative ambiance for their loved ones. This discussion segued into the critique of popular terms like "high functioning anxiety" and the potential dangers these normalized terms might bring, especially in the realm of social media. The digital age has both its advantages and pitfalls, with the unchecked consumption of content being one of the latter.

Diving deeper into mental well-being, the discourse emphasized the power of positivity, self-awareness, and the content we expose ourselves to. By being more conscious of our actions, thoughts, and the media we consume, we can steer our mental health in a more positive direction. This led to the crucial point of taking responsibility for our circumstances. Recognizing that we are both the creators and solvers of our challenges encourages proactive action.

To cap off the episode, Jennifer shares her personal daily mantra, a series of affirmations that she believes enhances self-belief and propels her forward. It serves as a reminder of the importance of self-affirmation, living in the present, and drawing constructive reflections from the past.

Listen to Episode 44 entitled “How To Choose Joy Daily with Jennifer Meyers” and reignite your own passion, purpose, and authentic self.

E40 Ask and It's Given with LaNelle Owens

Sat, 22 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0400

The truth LaNelle teaches us is simple yet transformative: ask boldly for what will truly fulfill your soul, and believe you deserve to receive it. For years, LaNelle defined her joy through job titles that left her feeling "blah" and unfulfilled.

Through Vision Finder International, she learned to stop seeking completion outside herself. She focused instead on how she wanted to feel - joyful every single day. And she started acting as if she'd already received the life that matched that joyful state. LaNelle asked while believing she'd be given. And suddenly, a dream job appeared offering that daily fulfillment she'd envisioned.

LaNelle's story reveals an exhilarating truth: true abundance comes from within. When we ask from that place of inner fullness, believing we deserve to receive, the outer circumstances mysteriously reshape to match our elevated vibration. But first, we must give ourselves permission to boldly ask for - and receive - the life that lights our soul on fire. Only then can we truly win.

Listen to Episode 40 entitled “Ask and It's Given with LaNelle Owens” and discover the power of asking for what you want and then truly believing you will receive it.

Key Points from this Episode:

Move and Don't Die in the Fire, that is, coming up with decisions and putting into action things that must be done to reduce anxiety and depression.
Anxiety is a Man-Made Condition; it isn't natural but considered to be man-made, and that this is adapted by people from their environment.
Get Off of Social Media is one of the five key points if one wants to reduce anxiety, including its negative impact on mental health.
Stop pouring and fill your cup, emphasizing the need to take care of oneself first and fill your own cup before thinking of others.

Changing your number is a good way to disconnect from people who are using and draining one's energy.

The Importance of Meditation, ways on how to do it, and the benefits it can bring to your life, like happiness, joy, and peace. Guided Meditation, in particular, helps one's mind, removes negative energy and reduces anxiety.

Letting Go of Negative Habits, including its patterns, can prevent high-achieving women from accessing their full potential and eventually can lead to success.

The presence of supportive people is essential because they are genuinely supportive of you rather than just interested in what you can do for them.

Tweetables by Christy Rutherford:

"I'm frustrated from listening to women talk about ending up in the hospital having blood transfusions being in the hospital ICU for two weeks because they were unwilling to do anything about what they have been complaining about for years. This is a life and death situation."

"Get off social media and save your own mental health first. Because you're looking at everybody, you're comparing yourself to other people, and you're not being who you are."

"You're not in alignment with who you are, the great woman that you are, and you're pretending to be somebody else so you can be liked."

"Depression is when you relive your past more than you focus on where you're going in your future."

"Those same people cared about me; a hundred people cared about what I could do for them. They didn't look for me past outside of what I could no longer serve them in. So are y'all only giving away your gifts and what you can do for other people, and you leave nothing for yourself?"

Join Elizabeth Adams of Why She's Winning for an insightful exploration into the meaning behind blazing your path and understanding its power!

E26 How To Release Control With Aleeta Gardner

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 10:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Why She's Winning, Aleeta Gardner sheds light on how to navigate the uncertain waves of life. Learn valuable insights into identifying when it’s time to let go and trust that everything will unfold in its own divine timing.

Aleeta learned a powerful lesson, that the world would rather keep her conforming than allowing her to spread her wings and pursue what she was meant to do in life. Her realization of this issue helped open her eyes and allowed her to release control from the negative thoughts that were taking up too much space in her head. She soon understood the battles she faced were mainly manufactured in her own mind.

She then began focusing on parenting herself in ways that pushed her beyond a life of conformity, understanding that success does not have to be monetary-based; one can acquire joy, peace, and freedom without money through reclaiming control.

In Aleeta's case, learning about releasing control enabled her to understand why she was constantly being told to be quiet rather than challenge the status quo.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

Aleeta shared the biggest lesson she learned from Earl Nightingale, which is “Whatever is planted in your mind, it will grow, especially, if you water and feed it”.
She also talked about how her friend helped her to take on a mantra of "Greater is Here" instead of "Greater is Coming."
Then, Aleeta talked about one of her realizations, which is, it's okay to ask for help when needed, as well as, to be open to receiving what God may have planned for them.
Lastly, we discussed the importance of recognizing the role that one plays in their own misery, rather than blaming others.

E25 Getting Your Family To Support Mom’s Self-Care With Tasheaya Ellison

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 10:00:00 -0400

As a mom, carving out “me time” can be daunting - especially with all the daily demands of balancing family and work. On this episode of Why She's Winning, Tasheaya Ellison reveals her secrets for making it happen while also maintaining healthy relationships with those closest to you! Tune in as she provides invaluable advice on creating meaningful self-care moments within an often chaotic life.

Through her journey of self-discovery, Tasheaya realized the expectations she had been placing on herself were only of her own making. She learned to seek out support from her family and discovered the importance of cultivating a healthy daily self-care routine beyond just traditional forms of relaxation like running or going to the spa.

In addition to proper nourishment and sleep, Tasheaya highlighted that women often feel like hostages to their family obligations and don't make time for self-care. Self-care also involves extending positive messages to oneself which helps foster long-term happiness for both professionals and parents, thus helping prevent cycles their children could potentially follow.

Seeking joy without disregarding our current reality is key, and by recognizing it and dedicating enough time to nurture ourselves, we become better equipped to find such balance.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

Tasheaya shared how women often feel like hostages to their family obligations and don't make time for self-care.
She also suggests women should recognize that they are worth investing in by dedicating five or ten minutes every day for self-care activities.
Lastly, Tasheaya shared her thoughts about work-life balance and uses the scales of justice as an illustration.

Dana's midlife crisis was a wake-up call for her. She realized that how she managed her brokenness wasn't enough to heal it; instead, she needed to take steps toward actively healing it. To do this, Dana focused on self-care practices that brought joy and comfort to her soul, as well as learning to say no when necessary.

Through reflection and introspection, Dana also acknowledged the baggage she had been carrying around for years and worked on forgiving herself in order to let go of it. These processes were instrumental in awakening her soul, helping her finally overcome her midlife crisis, and emerge with a newfound sense of purpose and clarity.

Her story is an inspirational example of how taking the time to nurture oneself can have positive effects that reach far beyond expectations. Soul awakening through self-care practices can be transformative, helping us gain clarity and purpose even in times of difficulty.

E23 How To Achieve The Pie In The Sky Life With Kaphesia Jones

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 10:00:00 -0400

Ever feel like you're treading water in your career? Struggling to see a future, much less one that's filled with fulfillment and success? Kaphesia is here to help. Tune into Why She's Winning for practical advice on how to reach those pie-in-the sky goals you've been dreaming about!

Kaphesia had been conditioned to believe that success was only achievable through hard work and sacrifice. Pie-in-the-sky dreams were just a fantasy and not something she ever thought would be attainable, that is until she had a life-changing conversation with Christy about trusting people and believing in the possibilities.

This realization allowed Kaphesia to take ownership of how she showed up at work and opened her heart to rekindling bonds with family members who had grown distant due to the pressure she put on herself to succeed. This shift in mindset enabled Kaphesia to become more present in moments with her loved ones and appreciate these special times together.

Though Pie In The Sky Life was what she thought was out of reach, Kaphesia now knows it's attainable through trust and belief. She encourages women of color to embrace these lessons in order to create the lives of which they have always dreamed.

Kaphesia is living proof that Pie In The Sky Living isn't just a fantasy - it can be your reality! With a little bit of faith and hard work, you too can make your dreams come true. So why wait? Start believing and see what happens! Who knows - you might surprise yourself with the outcome.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

Kaphesia shared her initial intention for joining the Vision Finder Masterclass program, which was to level up her career confidence that she found was held back by negative self-talk such as "I gotta work harder" or “that success would be hard to achieve”.
We talked about Kaphesia’s realizations doing her meditation and paying attention to her thoughts, feelings, and moods.
Kaphesia also shared how marriage takes intentional and deliberate work; being able to break away from action-reaction cycles can create harmony within families.
Lastly, Kaphesia shares advice for women who feel they don't have time to make themselves a priority: take a deep breath, sit in silence and get comfortable with being present and hearing their own thoughts.

E21 Find Your Freedom and Flow with Celestine Pressley

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 10:00:00 -0400

Find out how Celestine Pressley slays barriers to unlock freedom and flow. On this episode of the Why She's Winning, we chat with Celestine Pressley about how you can discover a sense of freedom and flow by getting clear on what matters most- tune in now!

Celestine Pressley teaches us how to find Freedom and Flow by first starting with the willingness to forgive and understand yourself. As Celestine says, “Forgiveness allows us to acknowledge how we got here, identify our strengths and weaknesses, and decide what is best for ourselves moving forward. Freedom comes from knowing ourselves on a deeper level.” By understanding your worth and having an open mind toward exploring new opportunities, you can start living a more fulfilling life.

Celestine encourages everyone to be intentional about the opportunities they entertain in order to help create Freedom and Flow. She believes that true freedom comes in being able to distill what matters most in your life—whether it's relationships, career choices, or goals—and being able to make decisions that reflect those values. Freedom also comes from having the courage to take risks and trust in your instincts, even when it feels uncertain.

She provides an invaluable resource with her work on Freedom and Flow. Her teachings empower individuals to break out of patterns of old behaviors and into a life that is full of freedom, flow, and fulfillment. By helping us to forgive ourselves, understand our worth, and be intentional about the opportunities we entertain, Celestine truly helps unlock Freedom and Flow for every person she touches.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

We explored how flexibility and adaptability are essential components in helping us reach our ambitions.
Celestine showed us that true peace and joy can be ours if we're willing to put in the hard work.
She also mentioned that “Self-acceptance and self-love were resonating themes for many of the women”.
Through the program Celestine realized that she had been trying to live up to other people's standards instead of her own and that perfectionism was just a mask for her insecurity.

In this episode of The "Why She's Winning" Podcast, Raquel Naranjo shared her story about how she overcame the challenges and struggles of being an illegal immigrant in the United States and the impact it had on her mental and physical health.

Raquel discussed the importance of acknowledging our emotions, as well as, taking time to reframe negative thoughts into a positive light. She explained that although it may not always be easy to create a change or allow others to help you, it is essential to stay true to yourself and your ambitions.

Raquel offered advice for those who may feel frustrated or stuck in their current situation. She suggested keeping an open mind and being coachable while also trusting that there are people out there who can provide helpful guidance and support.

Raquel highlighted how women often lack executive presence because they haven't taken the time to celebrate their accomplishments, so it's important to take care of your emotional well-being by talking back to negative thoughts and celebrating your successes.

Finally, Raquel pointed out that everyone has a dysfunctional family dynamic, yet emphasized that it is important to be mindful of who you let into your inner circle. Taking control of your life can be difficult but necessary if you want to experience success. Through her story and advice, Raquel reminds us all to stay focused on our goals no matter what challenges we face along the way.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

We talked about how Raquel realized she needed to make a change when it became apparent her anger might lead to health problems down the road.

We spoke about her many challenges as an illegal immigrant in the US and how that affected her career.
We also examined how women often face imposter syndrome or lack of executive presence because they haven't taken the time to celebrate their accomplishments.

Join in and listen as we dive into the essential mental wellness topics that will help grow your business or achieve more career success!

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

The Reason Behind Being Resistant to Change

We discussed Christina’s resistance to change. She mentioned “Commitment” as being the main problem before completely pushing through the program.

Stepping back and asking herself about perspective and mindset to move forward was the greatest mind shift she had to undo. She had to stop negative thinking, having limiting beliefs, and pessimism.

Identifying Blockages

We talked about “group dynamics”, encountering other people. How you limit yourself to them, and having similar or different stories. You should not close your door to people encountering problems. You must listen, and understand their situation.

Perfectionism, Suffocates your Dreams

We have shared experiences about perfectionism and how “procrastination” is tied to perfectionism. People who are very well accomplished try to do everything right, but it might delay them instead of helping them enjoy and make things easier.

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

The Power of Special Gift

We talk about the power of your special gift and the difference between “being the gift” and “being the vessel” through which God brings your gifts to the world. Understanding this difference will allow you to bring your best self to anything you do.

Importance of Being Intentional

We really dive deep into “intentionality” and how you can find and follow your purpose. This starts all the way back with your childhood traumas and other root causes of difficulty and shortcomings in your life. When you find these root causes and problems and work to fix them, you can start living your life’s purpose.

Shifting from Fears to Solutions

We discussed the importance of learning to “Toot your own horn,” so to speak. It’s not cockiness but authentic confidence. The kind of confidence that comes from recognizing your gifts and really owning them. This shift allows you to change the focus from your fears to the solutions you can provide to your company, customers, or clients.

Join in and listen to the core essentials for your business growth and success!

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

Rochelle’s State of Mind Before Pursuing Change

Before pursuing change, Rochelle was not in a good state of mind. She was facing many different challenges in her professional and personal life. At that moment, she turned from a woman who had never experienced an anxiety attack to someone who was experiencing two in the space of three weeks. She knew she needed to do something different to better care for herself and be happy.

Managing the Dynamics of Being a Mom, Daughter, and Wife

Through the program, Rochelle recognized she had zero boundaries. She had not set any boundaries in her personal and professional life, and since she worked from home during the pandemic, everything merged together.

She continued by saying, "When you don't have those boundaries, of course, it gets overwhelming very quickly, and being high achieving women, we want to be there for everyone to do our best all the time. And oftentimes though it's in spite of ourselves, it's not managing what we are dealing with and how we are taking care of ourselves".

Join in and listen to the core essentials for your business growth and success!

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

Joaquina’s Revelation

Joaquina's revelation for herself was about being selfish and utilizing self-care without really knowing how to deal with it.

Pushing through the program, she knew she needed someone to align with a level of accountability to move forward in spaces of self-care and being selfish for herself in terms of mind space.

The Aha Moment

Part of Joaquina's “aha moment” was that she could easily guide others to certain precepts of the importance of meditation or a healthy lifestyle, which she was not doing.

Through that, she realized she could never deliver on being responsible for her own hopes, dreams, and aspirations. She had come to a point where she didn't even know her dreams. She was so far down and away from being in tune with herself that she could not clearly articulate her dreams.

Being Assessed in About 10 Minutes

Debra intentionally intended to receive coaching for her career, but during our initial call, I discovered that was not the real problem.

After our call, Debra started thinking differently, and was surprised at my astute ability to hit her in the head with what was going on in her mind, life, and history.

The Real Challenge

Debra's biggest challenge was forgiving herself. At first, she did not realize that being unable to effectively and successfully forgive herself was hindering her from doing a great job in her career.

Now, going through the process has helped her realize that without forgiving yourself, you will not be able to progress in life like you want to.

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

Digging a Little Deeper

Kendra first joined the three-day event, where she was surprised by how many professional women were there. The event was one of the first pieces where she honestly said to herself, "I need to be around this coaching. This sisterhood really feels good."

The other piece was delving through some great modules, on which she felt she wanted more and was getting insights she had never gained elsewhere.

The other piece was through my coaching, where I called her on it and forced her to look at it, which made her feel different. That sense of newness made Kendra dig deeper into the program.

Being Called Out

There was a pause when Kendra heard about the role she was personally playing and how she was showing up. She felt there was tension between the roles she was playing.

She thought she was showing up in a way that would allow her to be successful, showing up how people wanted to see her. Not knowing that, at the end of the day, what people wanted to see was the real Kendra.

Another thing she felt called out on was having a quiet rage or anger underneath the surface.

A Point to Pursue Change

Before deciding to do something different Jalisa was at a point in her life where she had no clarity about her future and felt unsettled. She was also questioning a lot of things in her life.

The Resistance to Change

Jalisa's resistance was being vulnerable and talking about uncomfortable things with other people. She felt like she needed to talk, needed some coaching, needed some direction from other successful people, but that comes in a box and she is in a box.

It's not that it was hard, but she sees herself as a problem solver and she didn't want to feel like she was being solved or someone was trying to fix her.

The Power of Saying NO with Ingrid Jones

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0400

Hey there! This is Christy Rutherford, your host for Why She’s Winning. Today, Ingrid Jones and I talk about the power of saying NO.

The Need to do Something Different

When Ingrid felt the need to do something different, she was at the point where she felt stuck. She grew up following what the world tells us to do: go to college, get a great job, have 2.5 kids, etc. Ingrid checked all of the boxes but still felt unhappy.

She knew there was more and knew the only way to get to the more was to talk to somebody. She has no shade on therapy, but she didn't think it was for her. What she needed was a coach on a professional and a personal level.

Learning to Say NO

When Ingrid started to say NO, most people around her were taken aback. The process was difficult, but she had to wean herself off it. After a while, she stopped getting as many phone calls and realized people mostly ask for her help because she makes it easy for them.

The Power of Taking Breaks with Crystle Johnson

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0400

Hey there! This is Christy Rutherford, your host for Why She’s Winning. Today, Crystle Johnson and I talk about the power of taking breaks.

Crystle Johnson is a data-driven, organizational architect who leverages equitable process design to create spaces where underestimated talent can grow and thrive. Going beyond traditional, superficial means, she is laser-focused on building relationships across diverse communities, intentional career pathing, sponsorship, and removing barriers in everyday processes.

She founded The DEI Coach to create a safe space for black women who serve as DEI professionals, as she understands firsthand what it means to DO and BE the work. It leads to stress, burnout, and the loss of YOU. So, she is creating curated spaces where black women can show up authentically, cultivate community, and thrive through self-care and rest.

Join in and listen to get the core fundamental essentials for your business growth and success!

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

The Need to Change and do Something Different

One thing that pushed Crystle to do something different was being raggedy. Most people see her as someone who has it all together and has all the answers, but behind the curtain, it was raggedy, stuff was everywhere and it was not good.

For Crystle, perfection was real. It was possible, and it was just something everybody chased. Coming into coaching, she didn't have the self-awareness she needed for coaching, until her leader referred me and gave me a call right away.

The Thing Crystle Felt She was Called Out on

Over the years, Crystle had taken the messages she received from her parents about being perfect and working hard, but it seemed no matter how hard she worked, she was not having a lot.

She ended up working hard and working herself into the ground so much I called her out because she felt like she didn't have enough and was not going to have enough, and she felt she was going to lose everything she had. That was the driving force behind why she was so raggedy and behind, why she just kept trying to chase perfection, do everything and reach everyone's expectations, whatever they were, even if they were unrealistic.

A Journey to Self Discovery

Kathy's search for change started when she was in a space where she felt confused and scared. For the first time in her entire career, she wasn't able to give concrete answers and solutions to the community she serves.

Being at that point in her life she prayed and asked God to give her signs.

At some point, she was watching one of her friends who was thriving despite the chaos the world is facing. Kathy asked her friend and told her she got a coach. Just after that conversation, Kathy gave me a call and that's when everything changed.

Confronting Your Fears to Re-Discover Yourself

During our call, I told Kathy that she was the most misplaced woman I have ever met in my life. She's like, “But I'm really good at my job and really happy about it.”

Then, I gave her a number she should be making and asked me if that was a real number. At that moment she realized she should dig deep and own the fact that she could do much more. That moment led her to confront her fears and re-discovering herself.

The Power of Forgiveness

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Hey there! This is Christy Rutherford, your host for Why She’s Winning. Today, Thuli Selepe and I talk about the power of forgiveness.

Thuli Selepe was born and raised in South Africa. She spent most of her time in Soweto, one of the most prominent township locations with diverse cultural backgrounds and notable historic events, such as the June 16th uprising.

Thuli relocated to the U.S as a part of her work assignment, and is operating within the HR space of a multinational company. Besides her professional title of an absolute rockstar, Thuli is a mother, daughter, grandmother, and sister.

She is family-oriented, passionate about life, traveling, impacting those around her, and, in general, spreading her love and light. Thuli's greatest virtues are her kindness and strong belief in imparting knowledge on others.

Join in and listen to get the core fundamental essentials for your business growth and success!

Here’s Just a Taste of This Episode’s Talking Points

Deciding to do Something Different

Seeing she was loosing herself was one of the things that drove Thuli to seek support in terms of coaching.

She said, “Sometimes in life, we can be in a situation that may shake our core foundation and end up losing who we are as an individual. Due to that, we may start developing other patterns or habits that would allow us to start doubting ourselves, or negative internal dialogues within ourselves”. This was one area Thuli knew she needed to start working on, which pushed her to be coached.

Doubting our Capabilities

Thuli mentioned that sometimes women really aspire to take leadership positions, but when we are faced with a lot of pressure and not understanding how to navigate some of those political dynamics within the organization. As well as how to make your voice heard in those spaces, it becomes difficult for you to be able to sustain yourself in that particular environment.

She continued on to say, “I think, also one other thing that we tend to struggle with, I would say myself as well, is that as women, we tend to want to be validated. We have the belief that in order for us to be seen, we have to prove ourselves to show that.” "I deserve to be in this particular role, and that's how we want to earn that respect."

“When we don't get that validation and that respect, we tend to doubt our capability.”

How to Live a Great Life After 60

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 04:22:00 -0400

Hey there! This is Christy Rutherford, your host for Why She’s Winning. Today, Kelley and I talk about how to live a great life after 60.

Kelly Sexton is a nationally recognized leader, keynote speaker, and mentor. She helps to foster a culture of progress and not perfection. Be better today than you were yesterday by continuing to move forward.

Kelly believes it’s never too late for anyone to live their best life. You can start at any point along the way. After being married four times, Kelly finally learned the love she was seeking was for herself. She invested considerable time and money into personal development and learned to embrace her spiritual side.

At 62, she is finally living the life she had always envisioned for herself. She has written for a national trade magazine and spoken at numerous conferences around the country. Kelly was also recently featured in the documentary The Miracle Morning about Hal Elrod.

It’s Never too Late to Live a Life You Desire

For Kelley, the reason why it's important for women to know it's not too late to live the life they desire is because we're only given one day, and that's today.

Kelley's question is, what are you waiting for? You have today.

Years ago, Kelley read the book titled The Four Agreements, which she modified into five. The first one she says is, "Be better today than I was yesterday", so therefore she's the best she can be. The others as follows: "Be impeccable with your words", "Don't take things personally", "Don't make assumptions" and go forward from there.

The Catalyst & the Desire for Change

Kelley and I met during the darkest time of her life. She saw me over some media platform to sign up for group session. However, the event was canceled due to some sickness I had and graciously offered her a one-on-one session.

After that, it took her several months to push through the program. Her catalyst for change was seeing a specific pattern in her life too many times.

How to Feel Better as a Busy Mom

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Hey there! This is Christy Rutherford, your host for Why She’s Winning. Today, Lauren Hawekotte and I talk about how to feel better as a busy mom.

Lauren Hawekotte is a certified financial planner and founder of Plan Well Be Well, she has a deep passion for financial literacy and believes that creating financial wellness is a critical component to overall wellness, which provides a foundation for you to shape your future and be well.

This passion for helping people become empowered to shape their future coupled with her own experience of divorce inspired Lauren to co-found The Graceful Exit which is an online platform for women considering, or going through a divorce with the goal of educating, empowering, and supporting women as they navigate the process.

Lauren is also the co-host of the podcast Life Rebalance, where she focuses on providing resources for creating wholeness and wellness to other highly driven women who are also in pursuit of continued personal and professional growth. Together they navigate the constant rebalancing of priorities and focus that is required to reach your goals without sacrificing your quality of life.

All she does is centered around a singular purpose—to provide women with the practical tools and resources they need to create their intended life and to truly be well.

Getting out of Alignment for Change

For Lauren to get out of alignment, she instead makes herself happy rather than making other people happy. As a working mom with young children, she realizes that self-care is the last thing on the priority list. And at the end of the day when you always focus on others, it's hard to try to refill your own tank while you're running on empty.

Lauren learned that the reverse is what should be true. You have to shift your mindset to allow more and more demands of your time by other people to take the driver's seat of your life. And if you are not consciously aware and making an effort not to do that, it is going to happen.

The Shift into the Positive Voice

The thing that Lauren did to consciously shift into that positive self-talk was becoming aware of that negative voice and recognizing that she isn't the person that voice used to describe. And to maintain a positive state, she constantly fills her mind with uplifting thoughts.

The Challenge & Deciding to do Something Different

Before our paths crossed, Ashley was at a point where she feels frustrated with her career, the environment she was in, and the walls she was running into. In short, she wasn't happy.

She was also angry to the point where she could pinpoint and finger point to who was preventing her success. She wakes up every morning and all she does is fight. Seeing where she's at, made her realize that she needs to change.

How Breathing Exercise Helped Control Anger

When Ashley became aware of her anger triggers, she started practicing breathing exercises during meetings by herself or with a group. When she does that, he notices that people began to respond and react to her differently.

Breathing has helped her to step back and listen for what is there and not for what she expected it to be. At the end of the day, she was not exhausted. And she wanted more of those days.

The Challenges Chrystin Experienced

Before Chrystin Started working with me, she had experienced some challenges. One of those challenges is letting other people tell her what success should look like, which is more about helping his boss and other people look good so they can achieve their goals.

She then realized that doing such doesn't make her happy. Because she would end up standing in the crowd, watching somebody be acknowledged for the work that she has done. This was very demoralizing for Chrystin, thinking that she would always be that person in the background.

The Point of the Shift

Chrystin's point of shift started when she attended the women's leadership conference at which I'm one of the speakers. She met me there and thought that I went some really great stuff.

She felt inspired and joined a group of women from the conference. Then, sharted working with me and talked about the challenges we were facing. Such as not asking for things that you want, not living up to your full potential, and letting other people tell us that this is what your success should look like.

During the sessions, Chrystin realized that she doesn't want to live working for other people's success and just always be in the background. Then, comes real change.

E2 Get Promoted by Unlocking Your Executive Presence Part 2

Difficulty Showing Authenticity

For Mitchelle being professional has been part of her life. Because as a person of color, she wants to make sure that people would take her seriously. That kind of mentality didn't give her permission to experience the joy that she sees in her colleagues.

She realized that it was her fault for thinking that if she showed up as herself and were authentic it wouldn't be enough. She knew that authenticity has become a big cliche these days, people talk about showing up authentic. But she doesn't know if people really understand what that means.

A Thing that Mitchelle Needs to Accept

When we first started Mitchelle was clueless. She thought I was going to tell her to figure out how to get her out of her job. And I’m like, no, let's try to be happy where you are.

She’s not sure how this is going to work out, but it eventually turned out well. She now feels that her future is definitely bright and the different perspective she now has will serve her better.

She says, “It doesn't have to be that hard and it doesn't always have to be painful”. And that's what she needed to accept. It's living a life of joy as opposed to feeling like she needed to live a life of pain.
