Ep. 198 - You are not powerLESS, but powerFULL (w. Zenica Chatman)

49m · Awaken The Awesome · 05 Jun 14:00

I find today's episode is incredibly appropriate as for some reason, the very subject matter we're going to touch on happens to be so relevant.

See, I was bullied a lot when I was a kid. Something I'm sure many of you can relate to. I'm from a different time where I was taught to strike a balance between sucking it up to recognizing bullying from just playful schoolyard teasing to standing up for myself even if it meant a bruised lip when other person went over the line.

I however cannot speak to some of the particular traumas that some people have experienced from their childhood and have unfortunately carried on way into their adult life...and sadly, in their workplace as well.

Because truth is, personally, in the grand scheme of things, I'll admit that I never took the time to put a label on it.  But as much as my tendencies would have me believe otherwise, some of the worst bullies can often be found in the very place where you work.

Workplace bullying is a very real thing. There’s an actual prevalence of it in North America. A January 2021 Workplace Bullying Survey survey conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute estimates 30 percent of Americans have suffered abusive conduct at work. That's about 48.6 million Americans.

if this numbers seem unreal. Imagine the stories of the people who have experienced these incidents in the first place. I believe it made for an interesting and educational exchange as today's guest, Zenica Chatman, graced this humble podcast with her insights, expertise, wit and incredible truth. 

I admire people who have tapped into their purpose with a clear sense of direction and drive and Zenica is one of those. 

Zenica is a certified personal and executive coach, workplace trauma expert, trainer and speaker helping her clients rediscover their inner strength and confidence. As a trained journalist and communications strategist, Zenica uses her unique background to help her clients reimagine what’s possible for them and design a career and life they love. 

She decided to take a stand against corporate bullies after she was left emotionally broken by a pair of workplace bullies at the height of her career. Once she realized that too many women (especially women of colour) had experiences similar to hers, Zenica decided to take a stand against workplace bullies and help other women learn to stand up, speak out and be heard in the workplace and beyond! 

This episode is an emotional one. Zenica's story and mission are truly noteworthy and it's an honour to bring you this wonderful exchange. 

On this episode, recognizing workplace bullying as it happens, knowing when it's not , not giving away your power, the importance of guiding principles for finding personal strength...and so much more.

Ep. 210 - On Building Wealth & Living With Confidence (w. Allegra Moet Brantly)

Allegra Moet Brantly is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and founder with the kind of zeroed-in focus that never fails to inspire us always aim higher when it comes to setting goals. She remains an example of incredible drive to achieve as well as an unshakeable confidence to execute on her vision.

But don't be fooled - she didn't start out that way.

By her own admission, Allegra's time in her early 20s was spent more on climbing the corporate ladder and curating her LinkedIn profile than managing her finances.

Then, even though she was making a great salary, she was still living paycheck-to-paycheck...and she had no real savings or investments.

Not to throw in the towel, like so many do, and becoming disillusioned with the corporate world, she committed to putting in the work towards changing her ways and, slowly but surely, embarked on the painstaking and lonely overhaul of her money.

She eventually grew her net worth from -$18K to $1.1M. Not too shabby.

I love it when someone takes the lessons that life and circumstances taught them along the way and not only thrives as a result, but also chooses to generously pay it forward by sharing the wealth of knowledge acquired.

Which is why she set her sights on a simple, focused mission: to lead 1 million women to $1 million in net worth so more women can achieve financial freedom in their lifetime.

To do so, she founded Factora Wealth, an online course & community that educates and empowers women to build real wealth, together.

It was a true honor connecting with an individual with such a powerful message to share and a genuine mission to conquer. And I'm here for it.

On this episode, Allegra shares some wisdom from one of the most important people in her life, the importance of a solid financial education, our emotional relationship with money...and so much more.

You can connect with Allegra via LinkedIn, Instagram or the Factora Wealth website.

Be sure to check out and show love by listening/rating the Coffee & Coin podcast where Allegra welcomes an amazing roster of incredible and accomplished women on the same mission to empower more women towards achieving financial freedom.
