Revolutionary Rising Gieselle Allen

As folks of color, it’s not uncommon for us to start our businesses because we hit (racist) walls in the corporate world.
 
The only problem?
 
Most of the time…we start our businesses being that same shitty boss we tried to escape.
 
In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing the ultimate key to being loud, being real, and being seen:
 
Doing it your own damn way.
 
(Seriously, don’t even do mine!)
 
This is why, when I recorded today’s episode of the Revolutionary Rising Podcast, I gave it a bold name:
 
The Most Important Episode
 
Because the truth is, nothing else I’ve told you throughout this season is going to matter if you’re still accidentally implementing it through this white supremacist, patriarchal lens.



I’ll also be talking about how you: 
Don’t have to hustle to be loud, real, and be seen Can be super private (or shy!) and still be fully expressed Can start implementing YOUR unique way of being loud, real, and seen

 When I met Junielle, she went by “Elle”...
 
…because, you guessed it – she felt like her name was “too difficult.”
 
But lately, she’s been reclaiming her voice…
 
…and as she’s reclaimed her voice, she’s reclaimed her name.



During this episode, we talked about so much, like:
Junielle’s experience growing up as one of the few Black kids in her Canadian town why Junielle had to first feel “worthy” and “enough” to reclaim her name  how getting a full-time job was the best decision Junielle has ever made for her business how Junielle intentionally curates more joy in her day to day, even when she hasn’t met all her “goals”  
I love Junielle so much – and if you love me, I think you’ll adore this episode with her, too.



About Junielle:
She inspires. She uplifts. She is the hype woman to have in your corner. Junielle is a speaker and the founder of the Joy Calendar, a community for millennial women to have fun and schedule more joy in their lives.
 
Weaving her mindset knowledge with her desire to find her authentic self in a world that praises conformity, Junielle is passionate about prioritizing her well-being while encouraging others to do the same.
 
Her circle is grateful for her playful energy, her calm presence and her unwavering commitment to helping women live their best, bold and liberated lives.
 
When she’s not coming up with fun ways to infuse more joy in her community’s lives, you’ll often find her tutoring high school students, or on Instagram, dancing to her favorite tunes.

As a result of “cancel culture,” you might feel pretty damned unsafe showing up boldly in these streets, because you can’t afford to say the wrong thing and have it impact your finances.
 
I used to be terrified that when I spoke up as an entrepreneur and leader, I’d be canceled or called out, too.
 
But I’m over that drama now.
 
In this episode, I’m talking about:
why being called out can actually be a GOOD thing the #1 thing that’ll help you give zero fucks about getting called out how it might be a good idea to care less about harming people (I know, spicy!)   what to do if you get called out

Today I’m joined by one of my favorite people and a former client of mine, Kat Munoz!
 
Kat and I talk about:
Finding herself and actually enjoying being herself The power of asking herself what she needed and honoring what she wants How she created internal safety by accepting herself   
About Kat:
Kat stands for emotional freedom for wives and moms and she empowers them to prioritize what lights them up without guilt. Her holistic approach helps you reconnect to and love yourself deeply, in ways that help you express your most authentic self in the world and also do it in ways that improve your most important relationships. If you want to feel more energized and excited about your life and the people in it, Kat’s your girl.
 
When she’s not emboldening others, you can usually find Kat turning her bedroom into a club, painting with her kids or recording tipsy podcast episodes with her husband.

Today I’m saying something that you really need to hear… you’re not that special.
 
Y’all should know me better by now and I know you that there’s more to today’s topic. 
 
Today’s message is super simple:
There’s a systemic reason that you feel like no one understands you There are so many people who relate to you and your experiences  
Listen in to find out exactly why you’re special but not that special

(And feeling safe being that visible, too!)
 
In this episode, Dalia and I discussed:
How saying “no” is a complete sentence How Dalia got the courage to go for being for “everyone” to being just for queer BIPOC How talking to the wrong people in your marketing can be demotivating The importance of community in Dalia’s journey to showing up and being seen  
The racist af roots of diet culture (this might surprise you! It surprised me!)
