  Speaker 3: Not at all.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: So my name is Jenny Powers.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I currently live in New York.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: City.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I'm originally from a really small town in Massachusetts.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I am the founder of a company called the Empowered Woman.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I'm an author and a speaker and a transformational life coach.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I wrote a book called Empowered the Woman's Guide to Following your Heart, and I am on a mission to transform this world by awakening every woman to her best self.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So I am incredibly passionate.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: You know, Candice, I know we connected immediately when we met.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: We have a very similar mission and a lot of similarities in terms of, you know, our passion and our desire to help women, to inspire women, to empower women.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of my global mission.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I have a boyfriend.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I have two little boys, and I am just a woman who is 100% committed to living the best life that I can live and to connecting women worldwide and inspiring all of us to live our best lives.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of the quick snapshot of me, my purpose and kind of what I'm here to do.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I love it, you are and for all of our listeners.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Jenny is absolutely amazing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I was blown away when we had the opportunity to connect and it is it's that instant connection that you and I had and it was.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It was awesome, like I honestly thought this is my soul sister and like here we go, let's rock it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Um, you have an amazing program the empowered woman and you had mentioned that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I want to talk more about that because you've got a thing called the 100 Days of you.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Can you share a little bit about that?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I have a transformational program called 100 Days of you, which is basically a three-month program, 100 days.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: So in my book I write about my book is 100 Guiding Truths.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Each page is a standalone page of kind of guiding truths that I feel like I'm 45.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I feel like I wrote it a few years ago.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: But these are things that I've learned along the way as I followed my own heart, and I kind of wanted to put them in a book to share, to kind of help women everywhere.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: You know, hey, if I've fallen down 11 times and I can help you to fall down fewer times, that you'll learn or to thrive or to grow.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I wanted to kind of share from that place.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: So a hundred days of you sort of came from that book.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I then created something called the empowered woman experience, which is a copy of my book.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I created a companion workbook, a journal, inspirational quote cards, pens, the whole thing.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: And then from there, as COVID hit and life became more digital, I decided to pivot, which I think is the word of COVID pivoting and created this digital online course, which is basically 100 days of you.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: It is me as your one-on-one life coach.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: We have a kickoff kind of grounding call where we get clear on what do you?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: want and in a very kind of real time.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I think I created a program which, in a timeline that I think has suited me.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I think sometimes programs that are a year or six months, the goals can feel kind, feel really far away.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I wanted to create something that would be inspiring for women to think, hey, in three months I can have this thing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: We get clear on what you want.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: We have an hour-long coaching call each week.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Between each coaching call, every day, there's a reflective from my workbook.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: There's a reflective workbook page, um, and so I take each of my guiding truths for example.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: One is indoor rejection, and so the workbook page would walk you through.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: You know there are times in your life where you feel like you've been rejected.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: You know what are the first three moments that come into your mind.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: So it's, it's written from a lot of love, you know, with a lot of support, really trying to kind of get into your subconscious, not overthinking, not kind of stressing about the answers, just kind of you know what comes up and then you know how can we work through that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: So you know, do you, do you feel like you carry this thought of rejection with you and then kind of every page ends with a very empowering like what are three steps you can take to kind of move past these moments and redefine that rejection is not an option.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: You know, every door that's closed mean that there means that there's, you know, 10 others that will open to you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: So that's one example of one truth.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: There are hundreds of those kind of lessons and so in between each coaching call, you know you, you have this 10 to 15 minute uh workbook page that you do on your own each day, and then we come back on our call each week and kind of the course is structured where every week has a theme, kind of going after you want, you know, owning your power, creating your mindset, facing challenges and failures, and it's all kind of written.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: You know to tackle each theme.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And then you know each call is just you know, let's work through this, let's go, and I'm very much committed to you know unlocking women's fears, unlocking their dreams, unlocking their desires, and then you know taking them from what they think they want, what they know they want, to having what they want.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I love that and I love that you said it's 100 days.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you because a lot of our listeners are probably wondering okay, why you?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Why did you put this together?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Why was it important to do this?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know I feel like this destiny quite honestly chose me.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, it was probably 10 years ago now.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I used to live in Los Angeles.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I was an actress.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I woke up in the middle of the night and I thought the empowered woman like that's a great name for a company.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: My last name is powers.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: My middle initial is m and I kind of thought the m tower powered woman.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: That kind of makes sense for me, and I was not an entrepreneur.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I was very committed at that point to being an actress that was my dream um but I kind of thought, it kind of stuck in the back of my mind.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I went to look at the domain name it was unavailable.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: The next day I got a notice saying the empowered woman was available to buy, and I kind of purchased it with no real plan.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: So that was kind of the inspiration and from that I think, you know, I really do love helping women, like I love, you know, just in my day to day life, inspiring my friends, being a founding board for them, and I really, you know, I think a lot of it comes from.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I grew up kind of feeling very isolated.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I always felt like I was the girl that was left out.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I was, you know, never a part of the clique.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: So I was, you know, girls were mean to me, like you know, not complaining, just owning that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I think I felt very isolated and very left out as a child, you know, by girls and then you know, sometimes by women, that I think I then, to heal in way, wanted to create something that had the opposite effect on women, that made women feel included and connected and a part of something bigger than just them and their life, and a community to connect and kind of feel supported and seen.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's really important because it's a journey that a lot of us have gone through.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter where you are in the world.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: We've all kind of gone through something that leads us to needing guidance.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I honestly believe that and I want to ask you you've mentioned that you've got this journal, you've got the workbook For any of our listeners is this something that anybody in the world can be a part of?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Because obviously, you know we're in the digital era now and we do a lot of stuff by.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Zoom, so can anybody in the world join you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Anybody in the world can join me.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Um, yeah, uh, it's.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: If you go to my website, which is Jenny powerscom, um, there's information on a hundred days of view.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: There's all the you.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: You know a little bit more, a few more specifics, if you my Instagram is at Jenny Empowered the link is in my bio there and it gives you kind of you know pretty much what I've shared, a little more detail and, yeah, I just think that I wanted something that was universal.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And you know, I think people ask me all the time coaches, other entrepreneurs, you know what.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I think we're all sort of asked what's your niche, what's your avatar, who's your ideal woman?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: And for me.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: You know, I think the challenge for me is that I still haven't been able to kind of narrow excuse me, narrow down age bracket.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: It's this demographic.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: For me.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: That's never been kind of the woman that I am excited to work with.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: For me, it's a woman who wants to make a change.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: It's a woman who is in a place in her life feeling stuck, feeling unsure, feeling trapped, feeling stagnant, feeling like there's more out there for her.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: And so that could be, you know, a 25 year old, that could be an 85 year old, but it's a woman who, you know, is kind of ready to say yes to herself.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And so I think, that, that you know breaks all boundaries in terms of age, demographic, where you live, what you do, who you are.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love everything that you're trying to do with everybody out there.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I know that you do this one-on-one, but do you have like group courses or do you find that it's better to do a one-on-one.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: It's a great question.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So I originally thought that I was going to launch I originally launched a group program and that was kind of the idea of it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: As I said, I'm very big on community and connecting, and the other part that I found in my own personal growth is that I think accountability which can sometimes sound like a very negative word, but this, you know being seen mess I think that in my life that accountability and someone checking in and someone you know having a connection with someone, has been a catalyst for my own growth, and so I wanted to create something within that community where you know you kind of have someone.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Hey, I did the workbook page.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I did the workbook page like how are you doing, how are you checking?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of it's fun to do it with other people.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Having said that, what I found in doing that, that that was successful.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: But I found that you know this work is it's pretty deep, it's pretty vulnerable, it's pretty open.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I think I do, I've done the course, I continue to do the course, I continue to do my own workbook because I find that it's very transformational and I have found that a lot of the stuff that comes up is kind of stuff we don't necessarily know.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: As I mentioned, things in our subconscious fears we're holding, and I found that the you know at least when I start working with women that initial kind of one-on-one, the safety that is created within that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I think it's been very powerful.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I think women feel safe, they feel like it's just you know, this space for them and they're able to share you know kind of unconditionally, without having to filter, and so the way.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I kind of see it now.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: As I look at it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: You know, covid's hopefully at least becoming less of an issue.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: You know, kind of in terms of the group idea, my goal now is to sort of pivot back to events and to have that be kind of my group thing kind of doing an hour and weekend, you know.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I know we talked about potentially collaborating, you know, on an event be it digital kind of or in person, but I think that's kind of the vein that I now see.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: You know how I want to kind of empower and help and serve into kind of a collaborative way to bring women together.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Hopefully you know in person, but you know certainly as a digital option, having more of an event-based thing rather than making kind of 100 days of you a group program.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: You know what and I'm game for being a part of that because I and I feel the same way I really want to go to an event I miss that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I miss being able to interact with others one-on-one and communicating, and just to be able to listen to a bunch of women talk about this would be, oh, I would love to go to an island and just do this, and all these women together, and it's like we're a week together and this is it, and just build um, yeah, build that up within us again, because I think that a lot of us have lost it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: You know, the last two years have really taken a toll on so many individuals and I think we just need to get that energy and those vibrations on that connection, the sisterhood, everything back together again I agree, and that's exactly the word I was going to use, which is energy, and I think that even for me in my life, you know, Zoom has been a great option and having the ability to connect when the world was shut down certainly was a gift.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: But I think that now that the world has opened up a bit more, I thrive on in-person, whether even if it's just meeting girlfriends for a drink or, you know, being around my kids, like I.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Definitely that kind of the energy you get from another human being just can't be sort of transmitted in the same way, you know, through a computer.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And I think that, you know, when I was younger, when I was in my 30s, I hadn't, you know, I wasn't really raised with kind of an awareness of personal development, personal growth, things like that, and I kind of found myself, you know, seeking out those communities and people that were doing.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think I thought at the time I would go on to be one of those people, but I think I was trying to heal and I was trying to understand myself and I attended a lot of those events kind of, you know, a three day event in Miami, a three day event in Las Vegas, a four day event here, and and I found that so much transformation happens in almost a vortex because, you kind of go into this hotel, you go into this event space and you're there, You're forming connections.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: And it's intense right, You're in it all day, kind of every day, and I just think like there's a very brilliant thing that happens.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It's almost like you leave who you are like at the front door when you walk into this.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: You know, event and then you're kind of you're in new teachings and new energy and a new version of yourself, and I found for myself and women that I kind of experienced this with.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: We left different people and I think that though an hour zoom call is great, I think, going into this kind of environment in kind of a compressed and way and exactly to your point, you get a variety of you know in day one you might have.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: You're a speaker, I'm a speaker, I have a friend you know who does money mindset stuff, a friend who does EFT and tapping, a friend who's a stylist and I just envision this you know, very well-rounded kind of multifaceted experience for women to kind of awaken different parts of themselves and kind of all unify us.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I think that you would inspire so many individuals just to come to this event just by you know talking, because that's what you want to do is you want to empower people and others really want to be empowered.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you, jenny, what kind of advice can you give some of our listeners that are just kind of lost, right?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: now.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a great question For me.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: The first thing that came to my mind is to follow your heart.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: And I think that you know it's an interesting niche because people say what are you an expert at?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: And I say I'm an expert at leading women back to their heart, back to their intuition, back to their own inner guidance.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I think that you know, in COVID we've all had a lot of time to reflect.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of things in the outside world were stripped away from us, kind of going out, traveling, getting together.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: We were all kind of, you know, in our homes, in our minds, in our own experience, kind of stripped away with a lot of day to day comforts.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: And I think we've all reflected a lot kind of on who are we?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Are we happy, what do we want.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: And so my advice would be to kind of listen to that inner guidance.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: And that's why I'm not promoting my course, but I do my book.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I really believe in it, I really believe in the tools that I've created to help women, for us to trust ourselves again, and I think that we know what we want, we know what we need and we know what kind of needs to get done to take those steps forward.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And I think that in my life I always want to give, whether it's the people that are closest to me, or women that I meet, you know, one-on-one clients or even people in a group setting.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Like I really want to give women the permission to dream again, to really say, like this is your one life, and like there are no boundaries, there are no limits, like what do you want?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: And I think we all have a very clear understanding of what that is.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: And I think the older we get, the more we're told to grow up and act like an adult.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: We have responsibilities and we have, you know, things that quote unquote need to get done.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: And I think, for me, you know, reconnecting to your own heart, to ask yourself in like a quiet moment, like is this what I really want?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Like what do I need?
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Like what am I missing?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Like what do I want?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: And I think that you know, the thing I love about my book is it is, you know, every page is the standalone page.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: You can open it, read one page and be inspired for your day.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: So it's things like cherish your body, enjoy your curves, make today that day, like do the one thing that scares you, and so it's really kind of it's written from a perspective of I believe in you, I see you and I think there's there's so much inside of you and I think that you know, going back to ourselves and trusting our own instincts would be, you know, kind of my biggest piece of advice.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: What is going to be happening next with you Like do you have something?
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: anything you want to share with us.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: So I'm actually in a very kind of creation mode right now.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: As I mentioned, I kind of am inspired by this idea that events can come back to life.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I'm very much in the beginning stages of that.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of trying to figure out what I envision this event to be.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Do I want to create a digital event, which obviously is a bit easier to put together?
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Do I kind of want to hold off on that and put together, you know, an Empowered you or Empowered Woman, you know, kind of weekend conference, and so I'm very much in a quite a reflective place.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, as I mentioned, I have all these resources right.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: My book, my journal, my workbook are all available on Amazon.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: So you know, that's one quick way to kind of learn more about me or kind of get a glimpse into my content and kind of what I stand for and maybe be inspired.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: You know it's my book.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: People love to throw it in their bag every day and take it out and open it up to a random page and so it's kind of it really is a guidebook, that kind of you know goes with you.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: My 100 Days of you is running that kind of one-on-one coaching.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: So there's that going on.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: And then I think for me you know it's even meeting you was such a gift because you, you know, as we talked about, hopefully we'll be able to collaborate on a lot of things.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: But you know, we really talked about like, okay, what is next, what do I want?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: And I feel, like you know, I really want a bigger impact, I really want to have a bigger footprint, I want to reach more women, I want to expand audiences, I want to connect us all together.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: So I'm trying to kind of read my own book and say, jenny, like, if you know, if there were no limits, then you know what would you create.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: And I think I'm really trying to up-level that.
• 19:27
