Episode 9: Overcoming Fear to Create Change with Shani Godwin

G.E.M. Series

“Fear resides in the hearts of women so deeply and it keeps us playing ourselves so small,” says Shani Godwin, Creator of JOY EconomicsSM. As a highly accomplished female entrepreneur, Shani knows too well the difficulties associated with being a woman in the workforce. To increase happiness and productivity, Shani and her team are committed to teaching women in business how to overcome their fears and maintain a healthy work-life balance, so they can be the strongest versions of themselves.

According to Shani, fear is something that everyone encounters regularly. And while it can be difficult to deal with, the best way to overcome fear is to recognize it for what it truly is: false evidence that appears to be real. Once we come to terms with our fears, we can begin to find ways to restructure our lives without them and embrace who we truly are.

Tune into this week’s episode of The G.E.M. Series to learn more about the importance of finding joy in your work, channeling your feminine energy, and being authentic to yourself so you can overcome fear and create generational change.

Quotes

• “Fear resides in the hearts of women so deeply and it keeps us playing ourselves so small.” (30:38-30:44)
• “Regardless of how you identify yourself, if you embrace the feminine part of you, then I really believe we are called to lead differently than male energy.” (32:24-32:36)

• “A lot of times we're not supposed to figure out how, we're just supposed to figure out the what and the why. And with those two things, you can move mountains.” (52:36-52:42)
