The SHERO Effect Jennifer Perri

Meet my dear friend of over a decade, Mavis Stevens. Mavis is a lifelong Fiber Artist and the newly published author of  Last Chance Trailer Park. During our conversation, she shared her incredible and captivating story of resilience.
Mavis shares the story of life out loud, joy, and challenges that inspired her story for Last Chance Trailer Park all embodied by unique animal characters you can find on her fiber art. We talk about a move that transformed her life forever, her 1st craft show at age 15, her cancer-surviving and thriving journey, and the tragic passing of her husband. In every season of her life, she has lived by a profound quote from her mother: Wherever you go in life, whatever you do, it'll be the same moon, and the same god.”

If you’re entering this episode in a time when things are tight, know you’re not alone. I have been there in times of just getting by. But this is not forever; this can be just a speed bump in life. You can reach a time of abundance and financial security. I want to share with you steps that have helped me move from a scarcity mindset into one of abundance.
Eliminate short term perspective – overspending and overeating are symptoms of shortsightedness.Focus on what you have – be grateful for the things already present in your life Don’t be a complainer - be positive and include positive people in your social circleFocus on what you CAN have - think about and visualize your goalsAvoid wasting time - value your time and you'll have more of itKeep a journal - find gratitude, write about what you have and what you wantGet organized - this can quickly change your mind from scarcity to abundanceBe Generous - the more you share, the more others will share with you
Now, an abundance mindset isn't magic, and abundance is not all about money. You can be the wealthiest person in the world and never live in abundance. But removing feelings of scarcity and shifting into a mindset of abundance will allow you to enthusiastically take the necessary steps in your life to get there.

In this special episode, I am joined by a fairly new friend and colleague, Scaling Strategist Kara Renninger. We connect over the idea that it is up to us to choose something different for our lives and our business. Making a big impact in the world really matters to Kara and to do that, you have to be driven, direct, and honest.
Many people don’t really say what they want in life or in business, but if you don’t get clear, come out and say it. It’s unlikely to happen. In our society, too often, women possessing these qualities of purpose, translate into ‘being bitchy’. But that is not the case. We do not have to use small talk to step around important issues; it’s okay and even admirable to be direct about what you think. The more you are able to use your voice and speak out, the more success you will see, in your relationships and business alike.
We also discuss motivation, and the truth behind staying motivated is peer support and a powerful mindset. You can change your business or your life, but ya gotta get off your couch and get right in your mind. If you’re a woman who knows there is more out there for you, you are absolutely right. And if you don't have the support to push you there, you need to reach out to me, to Kara. You need to have positive advocates in your life.
What’s Inside:
How to make the conscious choice for a different life and business.Direct, honest, and driven are three qualities that don’t equal ‘bitchy’ in women.How to stay motivated by using positive advocates.Speak up and speak out about what you want and what it takes to get there.
