    How to Share Your Story with Confidence with Ehmandah Ramsey, Speaker, Well-being Guide, and Podcast Host

    What’s your story? Believe it or not, we all have a story to share. Each of us has had a truly unique experience thus far and you never know who you may help when you share your story.  The thing is, some of us may feel like we don’t have a story to share or if we do, we’re scared to share it. I hope after you listen to this episode today, you feel empowered to share it.  In this episode, I’m chatting with, dare I say, the dopest guest I’ve ever had on the podcast, Ehmandah Ramsey.  Ehmandah Ramsey is an entrepreneur, speaker, well-being guide, and host of the Dope Confidence Podcast. Her entrepreneurial journey began when she became a trailblazer in the coworking space movement. As one of only 100 women to found and operate a Coworking space in the United States in 2016, Ehmandah brought coworking to the Inland Empire and Los Angeles County. This experience exemplifies her commitment to innovation and community building. Beyond founding successful businesses, her true passion lies in empowering women.   More than a coach, Ehmandah is the Gift Investor. Fueled by her journey of overcoming adversity, she sees the potential within every woman and ignites a fire to shatter limiting beliefs. Ehmandah empowers them with the mentorship, support, and unwavering belief they need to build unshakeable confidence and achieve success. Ehmandah’s dedication extends to She Stories, a platform she founded. She Stories provides a safe space for women to share their stories, fostering connection and healing through the power of storytelling. With over 200 stories told, She Stories has empowered countless women to embrace their voices and rewrite their narratives. Ehmandah's journey is a testament to the power we all hold to rewrite our stories.  I am so grateful that I was introduced to Ehmanduh and that she came on my podcast.   She is the real deal and I am very excited for you to get to know her! In this episode of the Contagious Confidence Podcast, we talk about: What it means to share your story Different ways to share your storyHow to create spaces for yourself and others to be heard and seen The importance of sharing your storyHow to figure out what your truth isHow to embrace your truth Finding the confidence to share your storyWhere to Find Ehmandah: Podcast: The Dope Confidence Podcast Website: ehmandahramsey.com Instagram: @ehmandahramsey Facebook: @ehmandahramsey YouTube: @ehmandahtv LinkedIn: @ehmandahramsey Bold Steps Big Dreams Cohort - Join her mailing list.

    How to Heal from Trauma with Rae Leonard, Author, Intuitive Guide & Coach

    Trauma is universal. It’s something that we’ve all experienced to some degree if we’ve lived on this earth long enough.  Over the last few years, people have become more comfortable with sharing their trauma, which is a good thing, I think. But just like a lot of things, it can become watered down and not hold as much weight as it used to. If you’re a loyal listener of this podcast, you know that I like to have real and unique conversations about all sorts of topics and this is definitely one of those.  In this episode,  I’m joined by Rae Leonard who has experienced her share of trauma and addiction.   Rae Leonard is an author, intuitive guide, and coach. Her latest book is titled High Sobriety: A Trip Out of the Bottle Into Your Intuition. She draws on several areas of expertise, including Jivamukti Yoga, VortexHealing®, Conscious Language, and Master cleansing, to help people who are ready for post-traumatic growth. Rae combines her coaching practice with frequency work, biofeedback, and transformation to help her clients intentionally change their deeply rooted patterns and unearth a carefully calibrated inner compass.   Rae is truly a ray of sunshine and I loved our conversation. Rae and I talk about trauma and how we can grow from what we’ve experienced. What I took away from our conversation was so much more than I expected and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised once you hear it. In this episode of the Contagious Confidence Podcast, we talk about: What is trauma? How to heal from trauma The importance of self-loveThe power of our words: words are wandsStepping into the beingness of who you are What is post-traumatic growth?How helping others helps us grow  Where to Find Rae:  Website: raeleonard.me Book: High Sobriety: A Trip Out of the Bottle Into Your Intuition Instagram: @iamraeleonard Stay Connected: Katie’s IG: @katieehawkes Podcast’s IG: @contagiousconfidencepodcast Email: contagiousconfidencepodcast@gmail.com

    Confidence in Your 30s with Melissa Vega-Magbitang, Podcast Host & Brand and Social Media Strategist

    Turning 30 is something that a lot of us dread. It’s as if the age that we thought was so “old” when we were young has finally crept up on us and there’s nothing that you can do about it. A lot of us are scared to turn 30 because we loved our 20s so much. In our 20s we had the freedom to figure it out but once you turn 30, you feel like you should be who you’re gonna be for the rest of your life and that couldn’t be further from the truth.  I couldn’t be more stoked to bring you my conversation with the incomparable, Melissa Vega-Magbitang.  Melissa is a brand and social media strategist who works with purpose-forward organizations, blending storytelling with brand clarity and confidence. After a decade of combined agency and in-house experience, (and a layoff) she pivoted to solopreneurship and opened up her own consulting services. Other titles she's proud of include co-founder and co-host of Piloting, a podcast for those who refuse to live on autopilot, dog mom, godmother, CEO of the Magbitang Gang (aka wife), and connector. If you’re in your 30s or said goodbye to your 30s a long time ago, I hope you are encouraged after listening to this episode. And if you’re nervous about turning 30 I hope this gives you some hope that they’re not that bad.  In this episode of the Contagious Confidence Podcast, we talk about: Shedding previous versions of ourselves Feeling stuckOvercoming self-doubtBuilding confidence in your 30s The fragility and growth of confidenceLiving your life on autopilot Lessons from entrepreneurship Relationship with rejection and failure Where to Find Melissa:  Podcast: Piloting PodcastWebsiteInstagram: @melissa.magbitangStay Connected: Katie’s IG: @katieehawkes Podcast’s IG: @contagiousconfidencepodcast Email: contagiousconfidencepodcast@gmail.com

    Redefining Success & Failure & the Power of Hard Conversations with Doug Wallace, Jr., President & Founder of the Hopeful Elephant Organization

    When I have guests on my podcast, I always like to have a topic, but sometimes there’s beauty in having a conversation with a guest about one thing and it surprisingly leads to something we didn’t even plan for.  What started as an interview about redefining failure and success turned into a really beautiful story of how a former professional poker player left poker behind to pursue a life that provided him with more than he could ever have imagined. And how a set of unique circumstances led him to start a non-profit focused on helping others approach hard conversations.  Doug Wallace Jr. – President and Founder of The Hopeful Elephant Organization (THEO) is a former poker player turned Director in the Health and Fitness industry. Throughout his education and work, Doug has been creative in addressing challenging situations with compassion and professionalism. His approach to building strong relationships centers around open and honest communication. Doug’s simple idea of using a toy elephant to symbolize there is something you need to talk about has evolved into a 501c3 non-profit organization. By making the elephant in the room something you look forward to rather than avoid, THEO is on a mission to make the world a better place one conversation at a time. In this episode of the Contagious Confidence Podcast, we talk about: Definition of failure How to redefine failure How to define success for yourself Why do people feel that they need to put on a poker face?The Importance of having hard conversations Importance of mental wellness How to approach hard conversations Where to Find Doug: Website: thehopefulelephant.orgFacebook: @thehopefulelephant Instagram: @thehopefulelephantorganization Volunteer or Sponsorship opportunities: thehopefulelephant.org/partners Stay Connected: Katie’s IG: @katieehawkes Podcast’s IG: @contagiousconfidencepodcast Email: contagiousconfidencepodcast@gmail.com
