| 11 Apr 2023 | Ep 13: Economic Justice and Building an Economically Just Business Model with Kelly Diels | 00:40:21 | |
When Kelly Diels, a feminist entrepreneur, faced an internal crisis of having to use business tactics in direct conflict with her principles, she had to find a creative way to do business in a way that honored her values, her team, and the collective.
Kelly is a feminist educator, writer, and coach specializing in feminist marketing for culture makers. She works to raise awareness about how business-as-usual formulas reproduce oppression and develops alternate feminist marketing tools to help us do better.
A feminist since she was eleven, Kelly went on to study political philosophy, so when she became an entrepreneur, she immediately realized the conflict between her personal beliefs and the business tactics she was being taught. After a personal breakdown and going through a start-stop cycle of trying to build something that was in conflict with her values, she realized that economic justice meant everyone in the equation needed to be flourishing. She now works with people who have non dominant identities to help them understand and navigate the conditioning and trauma that comes up when challenging the status quo. Kelly believes that tending to one's emotions and nervous system is essential for success.
In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How to Balance Principles and Business Tactics to Achieve Success 2. What is Economic Justice, and How to Create It in Businesses 3. How Economic Justice Helps Everyone Thrive 4. Kelly’s Three-Part Framework for Economic Justice 5. What Strategies are Needed to Create Demand and Generate Leads as Culture-Makers
Quotes "If you have a non-dominant identity and you're supposed to be signaling authority, you're going to get punished for that online. So what I think economic justice is, is that every human has the resources they need to flourish."
“Vulnerability is the opportunity for relationship. We have to show each other our needs to actually be in loving relationships.”

All change requires some level of courage, confidence, trust, and faith. But not all of us naturally feel confident.

If 82% of people feel it, it's impossible to believe that it's about individual inadequacy. I think it has much more to do with structural inequality. - Amina AlTai We are enough. Focusing on our own alleged inadequacy is a distraction from the broken system. We need to focus less on fixing ourselves and more on shifting a broken world. Please let this be your invitation to galvanize your courage and confidence for something that lifts us all. - Amina AlTai

| 18 Jul 2023 | EP 27: The Courage to Unleash Your Creative Potential with Liz Moody | 00:45:18 | |
This week's episode is with my (and the internet's) favorite lifestyle journalist—Liz Moody. Host of top health and wellness podcast, Healthier Together, Liz is a seasoned writer, podcaster and entrepreneur who shares actionable, research-backed advice about gut health, hormone health, longevity, finances, relationships, mental health, and more. She is also a bestselling author, online creator with a social media following of over 900k, and the founder of Healthy Convo Co, a conversation game company designed to facilitate fun and life-changing conversations. We talk about how she had the courage to leave her full time role and start her business (at the top of the pandemic, no less), how she creates content that connects with people’s hearts and minds, and how she’s found happiness at work.
We talked about:
Quotes “Taking action is the thing that builds the confidence for us. If you want to start any creative endeavor, just start it today. What is one step that you can take to do it today?” - Liz Moody “Know that it's not going to live up to the version in your head, but that doesn't matter because you're going to refine and make it better over time. That is how it is for every single person on the planet who is embarking on a creative endeavor.” - Liz Moody “It's so fucking brave just to start. You can pat yourself on the back, applaud yourself just for taking those first steps, rather than berating yourself for not being as good as someone else.” - Liz Moody

In this episode, Khadijah, a grounded soul with energy and vivacity for life, must confront her deep-seated people-pleasing tendencies and accept her self-worth in order to level up her business and achieve her goal of shifting culture.
Khadijah is a multidisciplinary creative and brand strategist from Erbil, Iraq. She is a Visual Arts graduate of LaGuardia High School in New York City, a Barnard College alumni in Middle Eastern Studies, and a graphic design student from Shillington College.
In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. Turning Chaos Into Order: How can we use our creative energy to level up, transform our lives and businesses, and find stability in the midst of chaos? 2. Redefining Identity: How can we explore and celebrate our cultural identities and create meaningful representations of ourselves in the world? 3. Money Mindset: What are the deeper issues behind money mindset, and how can we redefine our value and worth through our daily routines?
Quotes “People pleasing is often a trauma response. It's what we've done in the family system to stay safe, to stay lovable, to not be abandoned. And you and I are both Arab. A lot of Arab cultures are collective cultures, right? Collective culture and codependent culture can sit side by side because oftentimes, we are told to defer to our elders or it's really patriarchal. So we're taught oftentimes to abandon ourselves or to put others first. There's this big, huge reclamation that's happening for you that's saying, no more.”
“87% of women actually ascribe genius, brilliance, ambition to men, and think of it as a male trait.”
“What I'm hearing is breaking the cultural stereotypes in design. And you know how big that is? There are stereotypes everywhere in design. You get out on stage or on Instagram, and you talk about that, your books will be full.”

Are you a career changer who feels lost in the process of pivoting your career? Have you heard these common myths that are holding you back?
Let’s debunk those right now. In this episode of the Amina Change Your Life podcast, I explore the principles of a powerful career pivot. I stress the importance of living directionally (a la Megan Hellerer), seeking clarity and information at each step of the journey. I highlight the significance of making small changes every day to avoid overwhelm and impulsivity. I encourage listeners to examine their fears and not let it hold them back from taking action. By taking things step by step and seeking clarity and information along the way, we can overcome barriers and move in the direction of personal and professional fulfillment.
In this episode, you will be able to:
The key moments in this episode are: 00:00:05 - Choosing Your Career Consciously 00:06:33 - Taking One Aligned Action at a Time 00:08:52 - Don't Get Stuck in the Planning Phase 00:11:59 - Atomic Habits 00:12:44 - Gain Clarity 00:13:48 - Examining Fears 00:14:36 - Cognitive Distortions
Quotes “We are always right on time for our lives.” - Amina AlTai “Before you leap into something entirely new, I want you to go inward and start to follow the breadcrumbs of your purpose.” - Amina AlTai “Most of us have not chosen our careers consciously. We choose them based on the imprints of families, of cultures, subcultures, media, or sometimes even reactions.” -Amina AlTai “I just want to underscore that you are absolutely not a failure. You have not gone down the wrong path. You are not off track. I don't believe that we're ever off track. We're simply clarifying our next move.” -Amina AlTai “I find this whole judgment about where individuals should be at a certain stage of their life ridiculous. Only the soul knows the path it's here to walk, what it has to overcome, which achievements to measure its progress by. Nobody knows why we're here except you. You're the only one that can find that. People judge as though they have it all figured out, but their judgments are often just a smokescreen for their own confusion. Are we late bloomers or on time growers? This is a personal decision. The important thing is that we keep on walking towards a place that feels like home.” - Jeff Brown
