Have you ever felt like you're constantly chasing perfection and people-pleasing to the point where it's taking over your life? Kamini Wood, our esteemed guest for this special International Women's Day episode, bravely shares her personal evolution from tackling these very struggles as a mother of five to empowering individuals through life coaching. Her journey is nothing short of remarkable, revealing an intimate look at how her own challenges paved the way for her to support others in their quests for growth and self-improvement. With her company, Live Joy Your Way, and the Rise Up program, she's crafted a haven for those looking to find authentic joy and break free from the chains of 'comparison syndrome'.
Navigating the complex world of teenage self-confidence and social pressures is a task that many of us can find daunting. Kamini and I traverse her childhood experiences, discussing the intricate dance of seeking acceptance as a person of color in a predominantly white community, and how these early life lessons inform her current coaching strategies. Whether you're a parent, a mentor, or someone who remembers the pangs of adolescence, this conversation offers sage advice on fostering self-esteem and identifying the root of happiness within ourselves.
As we wrap up our conversation, Kamini candidly discusses the unique challenges and triumphs of building a life coaching practice, from overcoming skepticism to celebrating client breakthroughs. We explore the delicate dance of mentorship, the non-negotiable need for life coaches to be versed in trauma-informed practices, and how the ripple effects of personal empowerment can extend into corporate well-being. For anyone curious about the tangible steps towards achieving a harmonious work-life balance or seeking a nudge to trust in their path, this episode serves as an empowering guide to embracing life's journey with confidence and joy.
