Women of Impact

Change is “wildly complex!” It’s exciting, it’s inspiring, it’s also nerve wrecking, anxiety inducing and scary as hell. Some people do extremely well with change while others have meltdowns and can barely handle the stress of change.The thing we’re diving into in this episode is not just the external side of dealing with change, but the internal state of change. Whether you’re moving, taking a new job, ending a relationship, dealing with the loss of a loved one, or trying to adapt with polarized political wins and losses, your identity is being challenged at the core of everything.Maya Shankar is the host and executive producer of, Slight Change of Plans, a podcast about, “who we are and who we become in the face of a big change.” She is a former violinist that was accepted into Julliard who underwent a massive change of identity. Maya later found herself leading as the founder and lead of the White House Behavioral Science Team under President Barack Obama.Let’s talk about the tactics you need to let go of the identity you’re holding onto in the face of life’s major changes. As Maya points out, some of the changes you experience are willing and others are unwilling changes, but in both cases the value is placed on detaching your identity from the pursuit of a specific thing, and deciding on purpose who you are in the face of change.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Maya Shankar0:25 | How Change Threatens Your Identity10:32 | Grieving The Loss of Identity27:02 | Recreate Habits for a New Identity39:20 | Find Meaning In SufferingFollow Maya Shankar:Website: https://mayashankar.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/MayaUmaShankarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmayashankar/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maya.shankar.14Podcast: https://mayashankar.com/podcastGo to https://www.radicalconfidence.com to get your copy of my book Radical Confidence!

Comparison doesn’t sound super threatening. It’s easy to tell someone to stop comparing yourself to others. It’s even easier (and cheesier - although true) to say, comparison is the thief of joy. Who really wants to be reminded of that when they;re looking at the mess or their best next to someone else.The scary thing about comparison is the connection it has to low self-esteem, depression, and mental health issues. Not everyone copes with comparison the same and it can really affect yur quality of life and the quality of your relationships.Melissa Ambrosini is a best-selling author, “queen of mastering your mean girl,” dancer and former actress. She’s learned how to work with your inner critic and allow the energy of your emotions to go through you instead of fighting and suppressing them.Lisa is speaking with Melissa to understand how comparison is a disease that impacts self worth. As important as relationships are to us all, whether you admit it or not, accepting that the relationship you have with yourself is the most important relationship you’ll have in your lifetime.Regardless of the trauma you’ve experienced in your childhood, awareness about what you’re saying to yourself about yourself is critical, and so is the story you’ve been carrying with you since then. Melissa wants to remind you to embrace your uniqueness and know that you are the best in the world at being you.Melissa’s 4 Steps to Feeling ACE!A - awarenessC - choosing a different pathE - eliminate exit or exhaleS - shift your state“Make no mistake, comparisonitis is a toxic disease that’s eating us up and spitting us out leaving paralyzed with fear, crippled with guilt, and our confidence in tatters” - Melissa AmbrosiniGet Melissa’s new book, Comparisonitis: https://amzn.to/3Q0Nfn4Lisa’s episode on the Melissa Ambrosini Show: https://bit.ly/3Q4MGZjSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Melissa Ambrosini0:38 | Body Comparison Tearing Us Apart7:40 | Careful What You Say to Yourself11:34 | 4 Steps To Feel ACE18:21 | Not Getting What You Want26:05 | How to Park Your Emotions35:12 | Use Self Sabotage As Fuel41:34 | Stop Rejecting Your Emotions50:53 | External ValidationGo to https://www.radicalconfidence.com to get your copy of my book Radical Confidence!

When you think of makeup what comes to mind? Are you excited and ready to contour and beat your face to the gods? Do you feel like it takes away and diminishes the natural beauty of a woman? Or do you see women in makeup and feel critical, like she must be hiding something, she’s being phony or superficial?When it comes to being confident, looks do matter, but maybe not for the reason you think. Mally Roncal is an entrepreneur and celeb makeup artist that exudes levels of confidence and beauty anyone would want. She touches on why embracing what makes you different, what makes you unique, and sometimes what makes you feel the most uncomfortable is a power only you can harness.There is a connection between our inner beauty and the physical. You are not defined by one or the other, and there is no shame in celebrating yourself the way that makes you feel most confident.Beauty isn’t about other people, it’s about you and feeling good and dressing up and highlighting your beauty in the way you choose to feel and look your best.At this Rad Con Live event Lisa is joined by incredibly confident and strong women such as Danielle Canty of Bossbabes, Nicole LePera, and Eve Torres Gracie from Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The conversation gets open and extremely vulnerable. Discussing aging and insecurities around beauty, scars, and self-worth isn’t easy to do openly, but as women we need to be able to have these conversations.If you struggle with your appearance or catch yourself judging yourself and other women for the choices they make and don’t make in relation to beauty and living above the standards, this is a must watch!SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction Mally Roncal0:19 | Badass Inside and Out4:13 | Embracing Your Differences11:43 | Be Your Own Beautiful28:02 | Ditch Your Inner CriticFollow Mally Roncal:Website: https://mallyroncal.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mallyroncal/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mallyroncalTwitter: https://twitter.com/mallyroncalGo to https://www.radicalconfidence.com to get your copy of my book Radical Confidence!

It is beyond disheartening that it’s believed that 90% of sexual abuse victims never say a word about their abuse to anyone. According to NAASCA.org, 50-60 million American adults have been sexually abused in their childhood.Unfortunately, the emotional trauma inflicted upon us as children doesn’t magically disappear. If you or someone you know has been a victim of childhood abuse, or any kind of abuse, our hearts are with you. If you are here, hopefully it means that you are on a journey seeking healing and ready to claim your power.Anne Heche is an Emmy Award winning actress that has been in more movies that we can name such as Donnie Brasco, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and even Dancing with the Stars! She’s brave, she’s bold, and so beautiful. She’s also a woman that learned to stand up and tell her truth, live her truth and take back her power from the abusive and traumatic childhood she experienced.In the conversation with Lisa, Anne shares the wisdom and hard lessons she’s learned from getting up and taking responsibility and taking action on the things that gave her the power she needed to reclaim her life and start loving herself.

Confidence is something too many of us struggle with. Tragically, lack of confidence impacts the quality of life for many of us, and the lack of confidence isn’t necessarily a reflection of the things you have and don’t have.

Being confident today is an ongoing process, and Lisa is stepping into her Bad B*itch Boots to get vulnerable and share with you the hard road to Radical Confidence.Admittedly, it’s been a heck of a rollercoaster ride.
