We interviewed 36 successful women on how to make it to the top.
Here's what you need to know…
When we first started Power in Heels our goal was to uncover what it takes to succeed. We wanted to discover those coveted secrets to success that we all wish we had.
But instead, we learned that there is no one way to achieve success, in fact, we found that there is no real way to define or measure it either.
These secrets to success that we all chase after aren't what we really need. Instead of searching for secrets, we should be searching for the stories behind success.
Hearing women talk candidly about their own failures, successes, and moments of growth showed us that many women regardless of profession or lifestyle face similar challenges.
Maybe you are feeling lost or stagnant in chasing your goals,
Maybe you strive to have it all but are daunted by balancing and prioritizing,
Maybe you find yourself competing with impostor syndrome, or,
Maybe you have a clear dream but you don't know where to start
No matter what it is, don't worry, you’re not alone! There are many others who have faced similar struggles.
That’s why we narrowed down their stories into 3 tangible lessons, to help you on your journey to success:
1. Face It Until You Make It: You Don’t Have To Know It All, Because Nobody Does
“If you don’t ask the answer is always no, and if you don’t take a step forward you’ll always be in the same place, so what do you have to lose?”
“Fear of failing should not be what stops you from trying.”
“Start somewhere, because the one thing you will ultimately look back on and regret is that you didn’t try. As I said before, what’s the worst that could happen?”
2.You Can Fight Imposter Syndrome: Just Go For It
“Focus on being the best that you can be and lead with your purpose. Life gets a lot happier when you aren’t living for other people.”
“I always say yes because you never know where that will take you. Life’s a journey, go for a ride.”
3.Change Is Scary But Your Growth and Perseverance Will Always Win
Go big! If you have a dream or desire, whether it’s a career or hobby, just go for it!
“Self Doubt gets louder the closer you are to your purpose and to what you really care about, but when that doubt comes up it’s not a sign that you should give up it’s a sign that you’re on the right path!”
In one of our favorite interviews, Natasha Koifman (founder of NKPR) taught us about the importance of showing up. The best way to guarantee success and empower women is by supporting each other. And that is exactly what we want to do!
Over these past 5 seasons, we have interviewed everyone from entrepreneurs and CEOs to Funeral officiants and Farming Influencers. And this is just the beginning!
We are dedicated to bringing you more stories, more advice and even more power!
Stay tuned for our Season 6 of Power In Heels coming out on February 21st! In the meantime head on over to Spotify, to stream our past episodes and get your fill of female-led stories and practical advice.
