    Have you ever wondered how someone can overcome the deepest scars of their past to become a beacon of hope and strength for others? In this episode of the Women Thrive Podcast, we talked with Kim Blythe, a successful businesswoman, author, and advocate for breaking the stigma around sexual trauma. Kim shares her profound story of awakening to repressed memories of childhood abuse, her journey through therapy, and her motivation to help other women heal. She introduces her platform, Strength and Voices, aimed at eradicating stigma and empowering others to speak out. This heartfelt conversation covers Kim's experiences, the impact of trauma on her life, and her new mission to inspire and support others.

    What steps can you take to start breaking the stigma around personal challenges in your own life or community? Join us in this powerful episode to gain insights and inspiration from Kim Blythe’s journey.


    ✨ Exceptional Highlights

    • The Awakening: Kim Blythe’s story took a profound turn at the age of 49 when she began to recall repressed memories of sexual trauma from her childhood. This awakening led her to seek professional help and start her healing journey. "The awakening was repressed memories that I had stored away, or my brain had the power to store away to protect me… I just couldn't function… I had to get professional help." This turning point led Kim to confront and process the memories that had impacted her behavior and relationships throughout her life.


    • The Power of Voice: Kim Blythe speaks about the inherent power our voices hold and why it's essential to use them to eradicate stigma. With the aim of inspiring and empowering women, Kim shares her personal journey of awakening, healing, and transformation. “This is where the strength in voices came from,” she says. Kim's primary focus is to eradicate stigma, especially surrounding topics that are taboo and uncomfortable, such as sexual trauma.


    • The Healing Process: Kim's dedication to her healing process was unwavering, although initially challenging. She describes her initial therapy sessions as dutiful yet detached, with her therapist patiently working to break through her defenses. "I couldn't connect with the little girl that was abused at six years old… The details were horrifying, and I didn't want to go in there and talk about that." Despite the initial resistance, Kim eventually embraced the healing journey, which allowed her to uncover and address deeply rooted pain and trauma.

    About Stephanie Myers

    Stephanie Myers aka Bias Breaking Beauty, is a seasoned advocate and change-maker with over two decades of experience working in male-dominated industries. As an advocate for gender equity globally, Stephanie believes that exposing and challenging the biases women face is essential to the fight for gender equality.

    Raised in an environment that often relegated women to second-class status, Stephanie was inspired by her mother, Mary, a resolute and competent woman who taught her to value her own strengths and individuality beyond societal expectations. This foundational belief fueled Stephanie's determination to alter the narrative for herself and other women striving to make their mark.

    Her work serves as both a testimony and a guide, helping others recognize that women are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to and should be afforded the same privileges—recognition, compensation, and opportunities—that their male counterparts often receive.

    Stephanie extends her advocacy through books, coaching, consultations, and speaking engagements designed to provoke thought, inspire action, and fuel movements toward gender equity. Her efforts are driven by a vision where the strength of one's character, rather than the gender assigned at birth, defines success. This clarion call for systemic change aims to empower women to assert their worth, demand their rightful place, and foster environments that value diversity and equity.

  • From Fashion to Legacy with Diane Gilman

    ✨ Sign up for the Women Thrive Vol. III Book Launch and Authors Summit here: https://womenthrivesummit.com/authors-summit/ ✨

    📘 Grab your book copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7K68BVV 🛒

    Join Raimonda Jan as she chats with the incredible Diane Gilman, a fashion designer who revolutionized jeans for women over 50. At 60, Diane found remarkable success in an industry often focused on youth.


    But Diane's story goes beyond fashion. She's also an author and podcaster who overcame personal challenges, including breast cancer. Through her journey, Diane shares powerful lessons about reinvention, embracing aging, and the importance of perseverance.


    Get ready to be inspired by Diane's resilience and vision, and discover how she continues to empower women worldwide. Tune in now!



    ✨ Exceptional Highlights

    • A Late-Blooming Success: Diane’s journey in fashion didn’t follow the conventional path. It wasn’t until she was 60 that she found monumental success. Despite being in the fashion industry for decades, Diane only reached the pinnacle of her career later in life. Her story serves as a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to achieve greatness. As she puts it, “So when everybody else had dropped out of the industry fashion, which is youth-obsessed, I was just getting successful.”


    • A Journey Defined by Resilience: Diane speaks candidly about her life’s ups and downs, including her battle with breast cancer. Diagnosed at 72 on Christmas Eve, Diane faced the disease head-on. She took time off but returned to television just eight and a half months later, ready to face new challenges. This battle, while deeply personal, became a broader lesson in resilience and determination.


    • The Birth of a Dream: One of Diane's most revolutionary ideas was born out of personal need. Finding herself unable to find jeans that fit her middle-aged body, she designed her own. Her middle-aged jeans quickly became a sensational hit, selling over 23 million pairs. This endeavor was more than a business success; it was a societal breakthrough, acknowledging and addressing the needs of an often-ignored demographic.

    This Women's Thrive Podcast episode features Linda Clarke, a speaker, author, and finance expert. Linda shares her inspiring story of overcoming personal challenges, including divorce and suicidal thoughts. She discusses how she transformed her struggles into strengths and built resilience.


    The conversation dives into Linda's impressive career in finance, her passion for running, and her experiences with Toastmasters. Linda also offers a glimpse into her chapter in the upcoming Women's Thrive book, where she opens up about her battles with depression and the turning points that shaped her into a powerful and inspiring figure.


    This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing adversity. Raimonda and Linda's conversation offers valuable insights on personal growth and empowerment.

    • A Story of Overcoming Adversity: One of the most touching aspects of Linda's story is her ability to overcome significant challenges. From struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts to the devastating loss of her mother, Linda's journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Yet, it is through these deeply personal experiences that she has grown and found strength.


    • The Challenge That Changed Everything: A significant turning point in Linda's life was when she was given a challenge by her therapist: to create a list of things that excited and passionate her, excluding her roles as a wife and mother. This exercise forced Linda to rediscover herself and her passions outside of the traditional roles she'd been confined to.


    • Embracing Emotions as Superpowers: Linda's journey has taught her that emotions are superpowers, not weaknesses. She now openly shares her feelings and encourages others to do the same. Her experience in Women Thrive has allowed her to break down barriers and find a healthy version of herself, unencumbered by past emotional restrictions. As Linda eloquently puts it, "There is not a person on the planet who has it together 24/7. And I realized that there were some unhealthy traits and habits that I really had to unlearn."

  • Thrive in Business Through Emails with Julie C Butler

    This episode of the Women Thrive Podcast features Julie C Butler, a successful businesswoman, author, and branding coach with over 15 years of experience. Julie talks about the significance of lead generation in building a business, through strategies like using a lead magnet to attract an audience and building an email list.


    Julie highlighted the necessity of having a back-end tech system in place for any business which involves automation. She discusses creating a streamlined welcome sequence that nurtures a potential customer and continuously engages them. She also emphasized not overthinking what to offer in a lead magnet, as long as it provides quick, relevant value to the audience.



    Exceptional Highlights


    • Building a Solid Email List: Why it Matters: As Julie divulged in our conversation, the concept of an email list acts as a business's backbone. Whether you're prepping for an elaborate website or just starting, growing an email list should be a top priority. From playing a decisive role in business promotion to fostering community building, an active email list can be your secret weapon to success. 


    • Tips for Creating an Irresistible Lead Magnet: Creating a compelling lead magnet can prove instrumental in growing your email list. It typically involves a minimal time investment from your end and promises quick wins for the consumer. Offerings such as templates or systems that promise quick solutions often enjoy high conversion rates. Remember to appeal to the pain points of your ideal customer and offer a solution that aligns with your overall business structure. 


    • Keeping It Personal: During our conversation, Julie underscored the significance of a welcome sequence. Often, we go overboard with our lead magnet only to leave our audience hanging post initial interaction. Having a welcome sequence, no matter how short, can help reinforce your brand's identity and keep your audience interested.
