EPISODE SUMMARY:
In this episode of "How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy," I dive into the transformative concept of feminine soft power and how it can significantly enhance business results for women entrepreneurs. Fresh off my sister's wedding weekend, I share my excitement about the new AI workshop I'm hosting on creating SVGs for Etsy, as well as the launch of my coaching group designed to foster community and support among Etsy sellers.
Our guest today is Ariel Xenia, a feminine soft power coach and creator of the Goddess Blueprint. Ariel brings over 15 years of teaching and coaching experience, along with a celebrated career as a professional dancer. She empowers high-achieving women to embody elegance, confidence, and a magnetic presence. Together, we explore the importance of authenticity and the need for women to reconnect with their feminine energy in order to thrive in business.
Ariel shares powerful examples, such as Vera Wang's disruption of the bridal industry by focusing on how brides want to feel rather than adhering to traditional norms. We discuss how soft power—leading with presence and emotional connection—can create a more inviting and successful business environment. Ariel emphasizes that many women often lead with masculine energy, which can lead to feelings of burnout and imposter syndrome.
Throughout our conversation, we touch on the significance of being in tune with our bodies and how this connection can enhance our confidence and communication. Ariel shares insights from her own journey, including her experience with an eating disorder and how she learned to rewire her beliefs through neurolinguistic programming.
We also discuss the importance of community and the shared experiences of women in various fields, highlighting how feminine energy can lead to better outcomes in business and personal relationships. Ariel's approach encourages women to embrace their unique qualities and to lead with their authentic selves, rather than conforming to outdated expectations.
This episode is a call to action for women to explore their feminine soft power, dissolve resistance in their lives, and ultimately create a more fulfilling and successful business journey. Join us as we unpack these concepts and inspire you to step into your true power.
EPISODE DETAILS
What if we trade out hustle culture for using our soft feminine power to attract the results we want? Does it still require hard work? OF COURSE! But we often undervalue how our energy can change how the world perceives us (and our products). Join me and soft feminine power coach Ariel Xenia as we explore how a subtle and authentic shift can actually get women better business results.
