    Mara Smith Female Founder of Inspiro Tequila

    Cheers! Salud! Raise your glass!!! I’m so excited to have Mara Smith on the show today to discuss all things Inspiro Tequila and her journey from work life, home life to becoming a Female Founder. We break it all down from idea to fruition and discuss all the ways we, as bad-ass MOM-CEO’s leverage that experience into what we do as business wonders today. Mara truly leads from her authentic heart - which aligns with what I know is the wave of the future: heart-based feminine leadership, no matter the gender. Mara’s leadership style is a great example of this new paradigm! And a great reminder it’s never too late to pivot, get creative and grow something new! Give us a listen to find out how and why! Mara Smith is a mother of three and a former attorney and corporate strategist. She practiced law at a large law firm in Chicago before transitioning to the corporate strategy team at a Fortune 500 Company. She was put on emergency bedrest while pregnant with her twins and when they were born prematurely, she made the difficult decision to leave the corporate world.   Mara never stopped thinking about what was next and always envisioned running her own company. In February of 2020 she set out on her  journey to create a new tequila brand. Mara started drinking tequila when she was looking for a “better-for-you” adult beverage. She discovered though that all of the tequilas she was drinking contained undisclosed additives, so she searched for a brand that was additive-free with a look, taste and messaging that appealed to her and thoughtful female consumers like her. That perfect tequila did not exist, so she decided to create one. The goal was not just to craft impeccable tequilas, but it was also to bring more female perspectives to the spirits industry by having women involved in every aspect of the company. Inspiro Tequila is proudly distilled, owned and led by women.   As a female founder, Mara saw an opportunity to make an impact and to help elevate other women in business, so Inspiro Tequila became a Certified B Corp to formalize their commitment to social impact.

    Mindfulness Mondays - New Episode Series - My Why and Why #Youmatter

    In this brand new Bonus series, Mindfulness Mondays, Lauri will bring forward teachings, information, and things for listeners to consider about themselves and the world around us all.  In this first episode, Lauri discusses some of the work she does in her business, Custom Designed Wellness. In her work as an Energetic Wellness Coach and Consultant, Lauri offers 1:1 healing sessions, group workshops, and corporate discussions and workshops that all emphasize the importance of understanding one's internal instructions and the opportunities for personal upgrades.  Her signature workshops, "We DO Come with Instructions," helps attendees understand in their own language what Lauri often says, "When you understand how your wheels turn, you can drive the vehicle of your body anywhere."  Considering we each have a body, those of us running businesses and families are also in charge of that "body". Using easy-to-understand metaphors and examples, Lauri illustrates how people often neglect their own instructions, leading to a wobbly existence. Lauri encourages listeners to recognize their worth and the necessity of evolving their personal manuals to live authentically and joyfully.  She wants to always remind everyone: #youmatter Send us a text Work with Lauri: Please visit https://www.customdesignedwellness.com/ to learn about her services for 1:1 and groups: Yoga, Reiki, chakra balancing, workshops, retreats and more!

    Jason Gember-Vedic Meditation Teacher and More

    In this episode I sit down with Jason to discuss his journey to becoming a Vedic Meditation teacher. I had never heard of this modality and am so grateful to learn about it through Jason’s lens.  When we are not feeling our best, too stressed out, too reactive, too anxious, depressed, scattered, overly emotional and more, we rely on trusted professionals to help us if needed, medically as we should! In addition, there are a variety of ways to combat these things through practices like Jason teaches, or through the work I do with clients on their energetic body through Reiki, yoga, chakra balancing and more. It’s important to know yourself, and understand when, where and how you’re feeling off, then seek the help required via traditional medicine if needed and also non-traditional methods if desired. The key is noticing, getting curious and being brave in getting the help you want and need. About Jason: In 2023 he spent 3 months in the base of the Himalaya Mountains in India for his training with Thom Knoles to become a Vedic Meditation teacher. In addition, Jason is a Physical Education teacher for kids K-5 for over 23 years. He’s been married for 23 years and his other hobbies include ballroom dancing with his wife and singing in their family rock band!  Website-     https://www.jasongembermeditation.com/ IG @jasongember Facebook-  https://www.facebook.com/JasonGemberVedicMeditation/ Send us a text Work with Lauri: Please visit https://www.customdesignedwellness.com/ to learn about her services for 1:1 and groups: Yoga, Reiki, chakra balancing, workshops, retreats and more!
