The Power of Sisterhood in Personal and Professional Growth | Ep. 186

Season 4, Ep. 186

Welcome back to a special episode of Cuppa Chels! Today, I’m sharing an interview I did with my soul sister and dear friend, Carissa Wolkiewicz. Carissa recently had me on her podcast, Carissa Explains It All, where we explored the power of sisterhood and more!


We discuss the significance of community, mentorship, and the incredible impact of taking small, 1% improvements to step outside our comfort zones and making friends with fear to foster personal growth and evolution.

There is so much magic in this conversation, and I cannot wait for you to give it a listen!


"I've experienced so much magic and growth in my own life just by being in community and in connection with you."

— Carissa Wolkiewicz 

So grab your favorite cuppa, sit back, and join us for this enriching conversation on the power of love, community, and self-evolution. 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Making Friends with Fear: Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and making friends with fear can significantly promote personal growth and evolution.
  • The Role of Community & Mentorship: The importance of community and mentors in offering support, building confidence, and providing accountability. 
  • Balancing Act: Carissa adds her expertise on understanding one's nervous system and the importance of taking gradual steps to avoid burnout, while continuously striving for personal improvement.
  • The 1% Rule: Small, consistent actions can lead to substantial growth. The hosts stress not waiting for the "perfect" moment to start making changes but rather, embracing the journey and making incremental improvements every day.
  • Upcoming Events: This free challenge kicks off in mid-July, designed to help you confront your fears and make positive changes in your life, be it giving up drinking or committing to a workout routine. Don’t miss it!
