41 | Beauty In The Trying With Shalon Ironroad

WITH SHALON IRONROAD

About This Episode:

As women, we all have a tendency to undervalue who we are and not really play to our strengths. In this episode, Shalon Ironroad opens up about the journey she has been on to be fully present in her life not only as an entrepreneur but as a mother. Shalon gives us practical insight on how to focus on who we are instead of what we do because that is how we can bring our unique gifts to the world.

Shalon is on a mission to help women feel the power and light they already have inside of them. She is the author of The Tale of Little Tree: A Fable About Courage, which is an invitation to understand who you truly are and what you’re capable of and have the courage to choose growth — even (and especially!) with all of its clumsiness and struggles.

A military wife, mom of 3, and business consultant, Shalon has learned how to use courage to find peace and confidence during times of self-doubt, overwhelm, and uncertainty to create success and joy.

She loves teaching young (+ young-at-heart) women about leadership, confidence, and real beauty. She has spoken with both teenagers and adults about faith, leadership, courage, well-being, and motherhood.

Shalon is passionate about helping women feel strengthened and supported in their efforts to shine within their orbits – as wives, mothers, friends, and leaders —  and answer the call every day to “something bigger”.

39 | When Life Hands You Lemons

About This Episode:

Something that I actually learned is that taking some time for yourself, going to bed early or feeding yourself a really healthy dinner that is work as well. Your business has to be healthy and you are your business. - Rachel Kelly

 In this episode of I am chatting with the founder of an all-female co-working space here in Toronto called 'Make Lemonade'. During our conversation, Rachel Kelly shares all about what it takes to have a successful startup, how to create healthy boundaries in life and business and when to say no to opportunities that just don’t work for you. 

Rachel’s first “real” job was a typical 9-5 desk gig where she would spend most days daydreaming how she would redesign the office and where her next adventure would be. When the reality of freelancing with an unstable paycheque hit her hard, she decided to make lemonade. She spent a year researching coworking, studying the market, searching for an office space, battling renovation nightmares, 'till she was finally able to open her very own coworking space, Make Lemonade.
