023 - Behind the Scenes with Silvana Favaretto CEO at The Tulle Project

Ep. 23
•

My friend Silvana wore tulle skirts for 100 days straight, today she’s here to tell us how this simple but bold project transformed her life and began a movement.


I met Silvana about 6 years ago at a personal development program. From the moment I met her I was struck by her energy, joy and confidence, but Silvana has not always felt that way. As she will share in the interview before doing her work she saw herself as broken. Back then she thought she had to be fixed and she didn’t want to be herself anymore.


Today she’s a woman that loves herself deeply, she knows who she is and what she stands for. She is now the leader of the tulle tribe, a movement for women to reclaim and find strength in their femininity. She’s also the CEO of The Tulle Project a retail clothing company featuring tulle skirts.


As I was editing this interview I was taking note of the many nuggets of wisdom she shared and I recommend you do the same.


There were three lessons I think are worth highlighting:


  1. By getting to know who we are, we increase our self-love and our confidence. That the way to be successful in life is to do the work inside.
  2. When I give myself permission to be, say and wear whatever I want, I give other women permission to do the same. I don’t have to get small to fit in and be liked, on the contrary by being myself I get to meet my tribe.
  3. I don’t have to do it alone. Cultivating friendships with other women is fundamental. We need friends that will celebrate our wins, stand in the fire with us when things get challenging and lift us up when we are down.

    18:50||Ep. 24
    My commitment to this world is to help a million women create extraordinary lives. I believe each of us has incredible gifts to share with this world and that when we share them we open ourselves to the development of powers that we never suspected and the enjoyment of happiness that we never knew it was possible. Yet, so many women are not connected to their ambition. They're choosing comfort instead of true joy or making a difference. It's my intention with this episode, that you re-connect to your ambition. I share 5 reasons why you should increase your eagerness for more and challenge the belief that ambition is superficial.5 Reasons To Increase Your Eagerness for More1 - You're either growing or dying, you're not staying the same. Choose growth.2 - Ambition is at the core of what Positive Psychologist have found is required to reach a life full of happiness.3 - When you follow your ambition, the reward is bigger than what you achieve. The biggest reward is the human you become in the process.4 - We owe it to those less fortunate than us. We get to make a difference in this planet that so desperately needs us.5 - Money allows us to expand our joy and our impact.

    47:03||Ep. 19
    A couple weeks ago I was at an event, when a woman stood up to share her mission. I was moved by her vision of helping women heal their lives through cultivating their authentic sexuality. I immediately knew I’d like to interview her for this podcast. Her name is Kristina Campbell and she is an empowerment and pleasure guide. In this interview, Kristina shares with us her story as well as a beautiful perspective about our sexuality. She shares how we can start healing our sexual traumas and start loving our bodies. She also reminds us that everything that we see that lives comes from sexual energy.PS. A word of caution for those of you who listen to the podcast with little ones. Kristina’s story is honest, vulnerable and raw, so I recommend you listen to the interview alone first and then decide if you want your little ones to listen to it.

    13:37||Ep. 18
    Sometimes we find it challenging to honestly share what we feel, think or desire. We’re scared that others may reject us, mock us or judge us. The problem of hiding who we truly are, is that although we may initially have a sense of belonging, deep inside we know it’s not real, because they are accepting the mask we put on but not our real selves. Also, with time, when we don’t practice expressing our authentic self, we start disconnecting from ourselves.In this episode, I share three steps to be more authentic. Three ways in which you can practice belonging to yourself and expressing your full potential
