    How I Landed a TEDx Talk and a Forbes Feature (And What They Had in Common)

    What if the biggest opportunities in your career aren't about luck, but about the mindset and actions you take long before anyone says yes? In this solo episode, Jen shares the behind-the-scenes stories of landing a TEDx Talk and being featured in Forbes. Although these milestones happened years apart, she reveals the common thread that made both possible: having a clear vision, taking consistent action, and refusing to let rejection become the final answer. From cold-emailing Arianna Huffington after multiple rejected pitches to applying for TEDx stages over a hundred times before finally stepping onto one, Jen opens up about the resilience, persistence, and belief that carried her through every setback. If you've ever dreamed of speaking on bigger stages, being featured in major publications, or pursuing a goal that feels just out of reach, this episode is a reminder that success is often built long before anyone else sees it. In this episode, we cover:The vision board goals that led to Jen's TEDx Talk and Forbes featureWhy rejection isn't a sign to stop, but an invitation to keep goingThe story behind cold-emailing Arianna Huffington after multiple declined pitchesHow asking for help opened doors Jen couldn't have accessed aloneWhy hiring coaches accelerated her growth and helped refine her messageThe mindset shift that helped her stay committed through countless "no's"How consistency and daily action create momentum toward big opportunitiesWhy becoming attached to the process is more powerful than becoming attached to the outcome Whether you're building a business, pursuing a dream opportunity, or simply trying to stay committed to your goals, this episode will leave you with practical reminders on what it really takes to make them happen.

    Lucelia Nelles on Building Community, Trusting Your Vision, and Creating Meaningful Connections

    What if the community you're searching for doesn't exist because you're the one who's meant to create it? In this episode of What She Needed, Jen sits down with entrepreneur and community builder Lucelia Nelles, co-founder of Coffee & Chill Miami and founder of Community Mastery, to talk about what it really takes to build something that brings people together. After moving to Miami during the pandemic, Lucelia found herself feeling isolated and disconnected. Instead of accepting that as her reality, she chose to create the kind of community she had been looking for. What started as a small wellness gathering has since grown into one of Miami's most recognizable community experiences, bringing together hundreds and sometimes thousands of people through intentional, alcohol-free events. Jen and Lucelia also dive into the realities of entrepreneurship, from taking risks before you feel ready to resisting shiny object syndrome, building systems that scale, and creating space for opportunities to find you. They discuss why consistency matters more than perfection, how community can transform both your personal life and your business, and the importance of protecting your time, energy, and vision as you grow. Whether you're building a business, navigating a new season of life, or simply craving more meaningful connections, this conversation is a reminder that some of the most impactful things we create begin with solving a problem we've experienced ourselves. In This Episode, We Discuss How loneliness became the catalyst for building a thriving communityThe story behind Coffee & Chill MiamiWhy in-person connection matters more than everBuilding a business by solving a real problemThe importance of creating systems instead of constantly reinventing the wheelHow to avoid shiny object syndrome as an entrepreneurMaking space for new opportunities by letting go of what's no longer alignedWhy investing in coaching and mentorship can accelerate growthBalancing ambition, wellness, and relationships while growing multiple businessesThe mindset shifts that helped Lucelia build two successful companies Connect with Lucelia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucelianelles/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucelia-nelles-70aa8412b/Community Mastery https://communitybuildingcollective.com/ Connect with Jen If this conversation resonated with you and you're ready to build a business and life that feels aligned with who you're becoming, Jen has a free resource to help.

    Kyra Yang on Authenticity, Sales Psychology, and Finding the Work You're Meant to Do

    What if success isn't about working harder, but finally finding the work that feels like you? In this episode of What She Needed, I'm joined by one of my closest friends, sales psychology expert and founder of Femme Closers, Kyra Yang Before building a six-figure-per-month business helping women master high-ticket sales, Kira was running a successful hypnotherapy practice. From the outside, everything looked great. But behind the scenes, she knew something wasn't aligned. That realization led her to make a bold pivot, step back into the trenches, rebuild her expertise from the ground up, and ultimately create a business that feels deeply authentic to who she is. Together, we explore why authenticity has become one of the greatest advantages in business, what truly separates average salespeople from exceptional ones, and why mastering a skill will always outperform chasing shortcuts. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a coach, a salesperson, or simply someone navigating a season of change, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and honest reflections about building a business and a life that actually fits you. In This Episode We Discuss: Why Kyra walked away from a successful business to start over The surprising connection between hypnotherapy and sales psychology What "identity-based selling" actually means Why authenticity isn't just a branding strategy—it's a business advantage How to know when you've outgrown your current business or career The mindset shifts that helped Kyra build a six-figure-per-month business Why mastery matters more than quick wins Common sales objections and what they really reveal How limiting beliefs affect both buyers and sellers Why emotional intelligence is one of the most valuable skills you can develop The truth about building a successful career in high-ticket sales Memorable Moments "Everything changed when I stopped trying to be a version of myself and started showing up as who I really am." "You don't hate sales. You hate being bad at sales." "Stay in the game long enough for luck to find you." About Kyra Yang Kyra Yang is the founder of Femme Closers, a sales psychology expert, and a former hypnotherapist who helps women master high-ticket sales through identity-based selling, advanced communication, and human psychology. After successfully building a hypnotherapy business, Kyra made the decision to pivot into sales, where she combined her background in NLP and behavioral psychology with high-ticket sales. Today, she teaches women how to become top-performing closers while building confidence, mastering communication, and creating financial freedom without relying on pushy or manipulative sales tactics.

    Your Bad B*tch Wish List and Living In The Its Already Done Energy

    What if the life you dream about isn't as far away as you think? In this solo episode of What She Needed, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the beliefs that has shaped almost every major decision I've made: living in audacity. Some people call it being delusional. I call it having the courage to believe in a future that doesn't exist yet and showing up as if it's already possible. I'm sharing the mindset shifts, personal stories, and practical tools that have helped me make bold decisions, leave my corporate career, travel the world, build a business, and continue creating a life that feels deeply aligned with who I am. We also dive into the science behind belief, why your inner world shapes the way you experience your outer world, and how subconscious patterns can quietly influence the reality you're creating every single day. And yes, we're talking about the Bad Bitch Wish List. The simple practice that started as a personal exercise, unexpectedly went viral, and has inspired thousands of women to dream a little bigger. Whether you're standing at the beginning of a new chapter or simply need permission to think beyond what's currently possible, this episode is an invitation to trust yourself, embrace your audacity, and believe that the life you're imagining may already be calling you. In This Episode We Discuss: What it really means to "live in audacity"Why belief shapes the way we experience our realityThe connection between subconscious beliefs and the goals we pursueHow your inner world influences your external worldThe power of writing down your biggest dreamsThe story behind my Bad Bitch Wish ListWhy I believe everything always works out—even if it doesn't happen the way I plannedLessons I learned from leaving my corporate job and traveling the worldThe role of faith, intuition, and trust in creating a meaningful lifeHow to identify the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back Connect with Jen If this conversation resonated with you and you're ready to build a business and life that feels aligned with who you're becoming, Jen has a free resource to help.

    Susana Hands on Authentic Sales, Taking Chances, and Building a Business Through Relationships

    What if sales isn't about convincing people… but about genuinely helping them make the right decision? In this episode of What She Needed, I'm joined by franchise expert and entrepreneur Susana Hands for a conversation about business, sales, travel, and the relationships that have shaped both of our careers. Susana has spent decades helping businesses grow through franchising, but what struck me most wasn't her sales expertise. It was her belief that great sales has very little to do with persuasion and everything to do with trust, connection, and genuinely caring about people. We also reminisce about how we first met in Australia over a decade ago, the unexpected opportunities that changed the course of our businesses, and why saying yes before you have everything figured out can sometimes be the best decision you'll ever make. Whether you're building a business, growing your confidence, or simply learning how to connect with people more authentically, this episode is full of practical wisdom and refreshing reminders that success is often built one conversation at a time. In This Episode We Discuss: Why sales is really about serving, not convincingThe qualities every great salesperson has (and they have nothing to do with being pushy)How genuine relationships can open unexpected doorsLessons Susana learned from building—and rebuilding—a franchise businessWhy networking isn't about collecting contacts but creating meaningful connectionsThe mindset shift that helped Susana succeed in businessWhy saying "yes" before you feel ready can change your lifeWhat entrepreneurship taught us about resilience and growthHow travel has shaped Susana's perspective on business and lifeThe power of showing up consistently, wherever you are in the world Connect with Susana 💻 Website: https://susanahands.com.au/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanahands_/ 🎓 Free Franchise Sales Masterclass: http://franchisesales.susanahands.com.au/masterclass Connect with Jen If this conversation resonated with you and you're ready to build a business and life that feels aligned with who you're becoming, Jen has a free resource to help.

    Christina Galbato on Spiritual Awakening, Starting Over, and Trusting What's Calling You Next

    What happens when the life you've built no longer feels like you? In this episode of What She Needed, I'm joined by my dear friend, entrepreneur, and visibility coach Christina Galbato for a conversation that goes far beyond social media and business. Christina spent over a decade building a wildly successful online course business that generated more than $13 million in sales. From the outside, everything looked incredible. But internally, something felt off. What followed was a season of heartbreak, loss, questioning, and what she describes as a profound spiritual awakening. Through the unraveling of old identities, beliefs, and ways of measuring success, Christina found herself rebuilding from a very different place, one rooted in alignment, intuition, and soul rather than proving and achievement. Together, we talk about what it feels like when life asks you to let go of a version of yourself that no longer fits, how relationships and breakups can become catalysts for growth, and why sometimes the scariest thing isn't losing what you've built, but not knowing who you'll become next. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, funny, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from living through the questions. In This Episode We Discuss: How Christina built a multi-million-dollar online course businessThe signs that success no longer felt alignedWhy she walked away from businesses that once defined herHeartbreak, grief, and navigating a dark night of the soulSpiritual awakening and reconnecting with intuitionEgo, identity, and rebuilding from a deeper placeWhy self-awareness without ownership can keep us stuckHow her relationship with money completely changedDating, femininity, and attracting relationships from wholeness instead of needLearning to trust uncertainty when you don't know what's nextWhy silence and solitude may hold the answers we're avoidingFriendship, growth, and navigating different seasons of life together Connect with Christina Instagram: www.instagram.com/christinagalbato LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-galbato-8124a868/ Join The Conscious Creator Membership: http://www.christinagalbato.com/membership Connect with Jen If this conversation resonated with you and you're ready to build a business and life that feels aligned with who you're becoming, Jen has a free resource to help.

    Kendall Strampel on Self-Trust, Taking Risks and Building a Business Before You Feel Ready

    What happens when you stop waiting for certainty and start trusting yourself instead? In this episode of What She Needed, I'm joined by entrepreneur, wealth coach, and founder Kendall Strampel for a conversation that goes far beyond business strategy. Kendall built her first seven-figure coaching business in her early twenties, but as you'll hear in this conversation, the journey wasn't nearly as glamorous as it may have looked from the outside. We talk about growing up as a self-proclaimed tomboy, learning how to embrace femininity later in life, scaling a business faster than her nervous system could handle, navigating burnout, making bold decisions before feeling ready, and why some of the most important lessons come from the moments when things don't go according to plan. This is a conversation about self-trust, identity, resilience, and what it really means to build a life that feels aligned with who you're becoming. In This Episode We Discuss:How Kendall accidentally built a seven-figure coaching businessWhy she dropped out of college and moved across the countryThe surprising role social media played in her entrepreneurial journeyGrowing up feeling more comfortable around boys than girlsLearning to embrace femininity and becoming a true "girls' girl"Scaling too fast and the lessons that followedWhat nobody tells you about managing teams and rapid business growthWhy entrepreneurship requires constant reinventionThe mindset shift that helped her navigate uncertaintyThe importance of self-trust when there are no guaranteesWhy overnight success often comes with hidden challengesHow to know when it's time to pivot, restructure, or start again Connect with Kendall 📸 Instagram: @kendallstrampel 🤍 The Business Blueprint: https://wealthywomensbiz.com/bbp-2025-a Connect with Jen If this conversation resonated with you and you're ready to build a business and life that feels aligned with who you're becoming, Jen has a free resource to help.
