    Finding Your Purpose and Fulfilling Your Mission with Dr. Nadine Collins

    Finding Your Purpose and Fulfilling Your Mission with Dr. Nadine Collins

    “When you understand who you are, and why you're here, you will recognize that you have no competition. Because there's nobody in the world like you but you. And whatever you've been divinely called to do. There is nobody in the world who can do it like you but you because it's your assignment.”  

    Dr. Nadine Collins has a vision for the world where every woman connects with her unique purpose and in turn, is free from the spirit of comparison. Where we can learn from each other without the impulse to photocopy while striving to be or have or do what’s meant for anyone else other than you. After helping women all over the world discover their mission in life, Nadine says almost 98% of them had what they were meant to do right in front of their faces. It’s funny how that works, doesn’t it? In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Nadine Collins, a prolific writer, international speaker, and Women’s Leadership Expert, who is on a fearless mission to help coach and empower women to develop mastery and confidence in their calling to rise above the status quo and live fully liberated in their God-destined purpose by building their speaking platforms and writing and publishing world-class books. Find out why Nadine always says “nothing goes wasted” and hear her share advice on navigang feelings of unworthiness around the work we do, how our negative experiences can ultimately serve us, the story around the moment of clarity that put her path into perspective, and so much more!   

    We talk about: 

    Imposter Syndrome + Rewriting your story 

    Coaching + mentorship 

    Stepping into your purpose

    Balancing relationships + business life 

    Overcoming indecision + taking action

    Creating The Perfect Ecosystem For Your Business with Carly Stein-Kremer

    Creating The Perfect Ecosystem For Your Business with Carly Stein-Kremer

    Carly was living the LinkedIn dream as a financial analyst for Goldman Sachs until all-nighters at work with no time to truly nourish her mind, body, and spirit became the new normal that doubled as a wake-up call. As someone who navigated the difficulties of an autoimmune condition from a young age, Carly created the product she couldn't find but needed the most. Carly believed in her unique vision so fiercely, it led her to discover the key to experiencing a full recovery using the very product that would facilitate the growth of her now booming business. Not to mention, she did it all while saving the bees.

    “I had to keep building myself up because I didn't really have anyone that totally understood what I was doing. I think that skill set of just cultivating resilience and leaning on yourself. That is what carries me today. It carries me through fundraisers, and it carries me through any challenges I have.” - Carly Stein-Kremer

    Our favorite quotes: 

    “I didn't have a lot of support that I could turn to, which meant I had to lean on resources, like podcasts and books, and I found so much support and there was so much information accessible. “ - Carly Stein-Kremer

    “As the company scales, our supply chain scales, and we've really championed this regenerative beekeeping industry. So it's a really cool thing where, as we grow, do-gooder beekeepers get to expand and we get to build the market for pesticide-free and humane beekeeping practices.” - Carly Stein-Kremer

    “I never no matter how many mistakes I made, I never tried to cover it up or blame or push people off. I was just always like, Hey, this is what happened, I was super direct, let's deal with this head on. And, you know, this is on me, and whatever consequences there are, I will receive them.” - Carly Stein-Kremer 

    “It was an interesting path. I was really solving my own problem before I even thought about starting a company.” - Carly Stein-Kremer
