You’ve probably heard “it’s not how you start, but how you finish” and as cliche as it has become, it is such a powerful statement. Just because life starts out rough and harsh doesn’t mean it remains that way. Vanessa Lachey is a wife, mother, actress, model, and so much more and yet having her mother leave at the age of nine has not held her back. She shares with Lisa the perspective she’s developed over the years that has lead to her success and the release of her first book, Life from Scratch. Vanessa wants everyone to know that “creating your own happy ending,” traditions and happiness is always possible and within reach. If a life of shame and darkness or a string of failures and mistakes make it difficult to see how, she urges you to simply start with a time when you were your happiest and recreate from there.

We strive to be women who stand up for themselves, who walk into any room with total confidence, and who never allow excuses. Becoming that kind of woman takes a lot of work, but the more women we surround ourselves with that remind us of who we want to become, and the more examples of women we see like this, the easier it becomes for us. When you think of badassery at a level that leaves NFL Hall of Famers like Dione Sanders and Michael Strahan nodding in approval, this woman has to come top of mind, Constance Schwartz-Morini. She’s been holding her own, rising to the top, and commanding respect in the sports entertainment industry where men dominate for decades. Constance oozes authentic badassery and beautifully embraces her confidence and vulnerability even when things are uncertain. This episode is dedicated to helping the 20 somethings find their way to more confident 30 something, and to helping the 30 and 40 somethings realize their time for confidence and releasing a victim mindset has come. “The main challenge was what a lot of young women still face, guys getting brought in above me because they have connections. That happened three times. Instead of quitting or giving up I worked ten times harder, it put the battery in my back.” -Constance Schwartz-Morini ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 9-28-22 SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Constance Schwartz-Morini 0:46 | Make Them Respect You 10:14 | Vulnerability Can Boost Confidence 15:43 | Girl, Lose Your Ego 21:40 | Lose The Victim Mindset 27:52 | Badass Leaders Need Support Too 32:16 | High Achievers Can Find Love 42:03 | Find the Right Partner For You 48:20 | Hustle Hard or Quiet Quit? 1:03:00 | Don’t Get Boxed Into Being Arrogant CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Audible: Sign up for a free 30-day trial at https://audible.com/WOI Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code WOI at check out.

Aileen Xu, creator of Lavendaire, describes herself as an “artist of life.” She helps people design their dream life and embody their best self. And she knows all about how difficult the process can be, given that she had to embrace her own creativity over the objections of a family that desperately wanted her to pursue a conventional life of middle-class success. On this episode of Women of Impact with Lisa Bilyeu, Aileen Xu explains how to find your passion if you haven’t discovered it, how to deal with other peoples’ criticisms and negativity, and how to rewrite the negative voices in your own head so that they become more compassionate and empowering.
