Powerhouse Women

Oftentimes, it's hard for us to notice the villains we are living with everyday who are breathing negativity into our minds. But once we do, then we have the opportunity to "fire" them from our lives, opening new doors and leaving space for more positive people and possibilities to enter our lives. Today, I am joined by two-time author, keynote speaker and podcaster, Heather Monahan, to talk about her new book, "Overcome Your Villains" and the moment in her life that sparked the concept of this book. She educates us on the three types of villains, how to define them, identify them and fire them from your life. In this episode we talk about: The pivotal moment in Heather's life that sparked the idea behind her new book, "Overcome Your Villains" Identifying the 4 types of villains Firing the toxic people in your life to make room for those who are more aligned with you Persevering through constant rejection About Heather Monahan Heather Monahan is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, TedX speaker, podcast host and Board Member of Healthlynked Corporation.

While we may sometimes forget it, women are just not wired like men––I'm talking hormones and menstruation! These two things can seriously throw us off of our game, but instead of struggling through it, let's understand how it all works so we can use our cycles and hormones to our advantage. Today, Dr. Erin Ellis joins me to help educate us females on how female cycles work and when to know if it is time to rest, or time to get those creative juices flowing! Dr. Erin Ellis is a cancer survivor who learned through her health journey that you shouldn't take your health for granted which inspired her to pursue her dreams and she became a Naturopathic Doctor. She now empowers women to be their best versions because she learned through her journey that life is too short to feel sub-optimal and given the right tools, your body has the innate ability to heal itself. In this episode we talk about: How mentorship scaled her from an underpaid female with a medical degree to a 6-figure self-employed physician How you can use your menstrual cycle for productivity in business and in life!
