The PurposeGirl Podcast: Empowering women to live their purpose with courage, joy, and fierce self-love.

Have you ever had a perfect "Shark Tank" idea but not known how to do it? A product you want to create but you know nothing about funding or manufacturing? My guest didn't either but she knew she needed to solve curvy busty women's issue with athletic bras! And she did just that! Bloom Bras is the most size inclusive line on the market ranging in sizes 28C -56L designed with NASA, shipping and packaging experts and Oprah's corset maker to bring the vision to life. Now she is part of supporting creative people like you in finding manufacturers and getting your ideas and your products off the ground. We talk about: After running a half marathon with an underwire bra under her sports bra, she had no skin left from all the chafing she know she needed to make a difference for herself and all the other women out there. She had written the business plan 15 years ago and now was the time! Her struggles finding a manufacture to work with a new start up company and worked around this using kickstarter and the massive community she created around supporting other female entrepreneurs. Sustainability in manufacturing, and how Elyse built a factory in Sri Lanka that uses solar power and wind power, and how they use local labor to actually manufacture the product so that they're not having to travel. How in order to be successful you need to step into the discomfort of saying "I have a great idea and I need money and you need to believe in me". How important it is to create a community around supporting other women's dreams and their business.

So often we give thanks for our family, for your home, for abundance but when do you even stop and give thanks for yourself? When do you ever pause and actually look in the mirror and say thank you, when you look at the woman in front of you? When do you actually look at her and say: I love you. I appreciate you. You're amazing. If you're like most women, that doesn't happen. And so today's episode of The Purpose Girl Podcast is all about gratitude for yourself, love for yourself. And I cannot wait to break it down for you and share why you need this self gratitude. In today's episode I talk to you about: How most people express gratitude in a way that loses it's luster over time, and I share with you a more effective way to implement it in your life How gratitude will literally change your life and help you live your purpose and feel so alive by rewiring your thought patterns. This idea of backwards gratitude and what it is. I share an exercise that helps you reframe the negative in your life so you can shift your thoughts and shift your feelings.

Have you ever wanted to ask me questions, maybe get some free coaching or individualized support? Have you ever actually reached out and sent me a question? Well, some of you have through Instagram DM's, FB Messenger, and email, and if I wasn't able to answer at the time I saved your questions, and today I'm getting back to you! This is an Ask Me Anything episode, where I answer questions that some of you have sent me! In today's episode I answer the following: Does your job/business have to be your purpose? What if raising your children feels like your purpose in life, but being a full-time parent isn't an option financially? Do Josh and I go to bed at the same time, and do we have planned date nights? Does your purpose evolve or do we come here with one big purpose? What stresses me out is not reaching my full potential because I'm doing the wrong thing. What do I do?

On October 18, 2021, I held the fourth annual Women's Global Happiness Day, a not-for-profit worldwide initiative to eradicate the women's depression epidemic. We had women from over a dozen countries register for this event, and from their feedback it was truly inspirational and life changing. I want to share what I did that day with all of you, my listeners, who might not have been on the call. And so, in today's episode, I'm talking about: Some of the exercises that we did Why women are twice as depressed as men and what we need to do about it Where and how you can find your joy The power of "I Choose" What it means to be Unleashed The three aspects of being a fulfilled, wise, wild woman I want you know that you are worthy of happiness, that you are deserving of your purpose, that you have power within you that the world needs, and that's why I'm doing this episode!

As women we have so many pressures put upon us from society, from friends or family members or coworkers, from the media, about not being enough… Not thin enough or young enough or rich enough or curvy enough, and so on! At the same we're often afraid of being too much! What will others think if we show up as the big, bold woman we truly desire to be? This fear of being thought of as too much holds so many women back, and there is a reason based in evolutionary biology for why we have this fear. In today's episode I talk about: What it means to be "too much" Why many people feel threatened when a woman is "too much" How I support clients to take up more space and not worry about being "too much" How my new program, Goddess Unleashed, supports women in being "too much" To register for the free 1-hour event, Women's Global Happiness Day, held at noon and 8 pm ET on Monday, October 18, go to: https://carinrockind.com/wghd2021/ To learn more about Goddess Unleashed, and to sign up, please go to: http://purposegirl.com/unleashed

As women we have leashed ourselves to the fear that if we shine too brightly we'll make others feel bad, or that they'll judge us for it, or that we'll fail and look stupid, or that we won't be loved. We've put this leash around our own necks, or we haven't removed the leash that society has put on us, and so we tend to play small. My own leash used to be the belief that if others saw my imperfections, if I didn't have the body or the husband or the job they wanted me to have, that I wouldn't be loved. What is your own leash? I have programs that help women uncover their purpose, and that help them launch a purpose-based business, but what I've learned is that the first step to any of this is unleashing ourselves, setting ourselves free. And so I'm thrilled to announce a new program, Goddess Unleashed, to truly help women to break free of what leashes them and finally live free as the wise, wild goddess that is within them. In today's episode I talk about the four steps to unleashing: Say Goodbye to the Good Girl Rise and Alchemize Claim the Wise, Wild Woman inside Live as Her And whether or not you join Goddess Unleashed, you do NOT want to miss this episode!

Sister, I hate to break it to you but "bad" decisions are just part of life. You dated the person who wasn't good for you. You stayed in the job that you hated with the terrible boss. You got into the numbing out cycle of addiction. You keep looking for something outside yourself for validation and love. Well, Sister, I'm here today with an incredible guest to talk about accepting all these parts of ourselves - and then choosing to shift them into purpose. Melissa Monte considers herself a guinea pig for bad decisions. And today she has a wildly successful business and podcast that helps us to turn our lives around when we tune in and find ourselves in a place we don't want for ourselves. Today, Melissa and I are talking about: How we can find ourselves feeling lost after experiencing trauma, and how when we don't address those things they come out in other ways, and how we can then rewire our brains FOR our own benefit. Melissa's personal story of growth, and how she realized she was in a better place after a series of traumatic events but that she was not much happier. And then, of course, what she did about that! How Melissa turned some of the most traumatic things that have ever happened to her - like going to jail for someone else's crime - into her purpose. What analysis paralysis is and how we can get out of that cycle. How to go inside and investigate the feelings and emotions we have without it being so scary (hint, it's never not scary...) And so much more. About Melissa Monte: Melissa Monte is a mindset coach and host of the podcast Mind Love. After spending a decade being what she calls a "guinea pig for bad decisions," she became obsessed with learning what makes us humans tick. Now she teaches people the tools that turned her life around. Through raw stories and inspiring interviews, her podcast Mind Love highlights the incredible role of the mind in creating a life you love waking up for. Learn more about Melissa and her work here.
