Being a female entrepreneur today is certainly easier than it was when our parents (or grandparents) dreamed of starting a business thanks to the abundance of tools and information we have at our disposal.

They say that bad things usually come in threes or when it rains, it pours. So how do you manage to stay positive when it feels like a black cloud is following you wherever you go?

What if you started saying what isn't being talked about?

I am joined today by Laura Richards and we sit down and talk about the conversations that aren't being said. Laura is an amazing and incredible woman who is using her power on the internet to create a space where people can share their dark stories, emotional abuse and narcissism. But it is even cooler because she is sharing how those dark pieces opened up and shed light on the self-love they have for themselves. 

Who is Laura Richards?

Laura is a podcaster who gives women a platform to share their dark stories about emotional abuse, narcissism, and loving yourself. She hopes to bring hope to others, so that they know they are not alone, and help them see healing is possible. She is a mom of three grown children, a mother-in-law, and fur mom to her cat, Peaches. Her life changed in the last few years with the deaths of her mother and sister-in-law during the pandemic. It then changed even more dramatically in 2022 with the end of her 32-year marriage. By this time her self-esteem was low and she was lacking confidence in her everyday life. During her time of healing after her divorce she uncovered the lies that she had lived with being married to a narcissist who was emotionally abusing her. On her journey, she has learned to read the warning signs of emotional abuse, gaslighting, and narcissism, and helps women to understand emotional abuse. Through therapy and other therapeutic practices she has worked on improving her mental health, and helping those around her do the same by speaking about the things she had endured in her marriage. She believes in the power of journaling and has created a line of journals to help others practice mindfulness and heal from the hard things in life.

Surprisingly enough, grief is an emotion that high-performance women tend to have issues with. Oftentimes, women push those emotions aside so that they can “keep on going” and get things done. And today’s guest can certainly speak to that. 

Lacey Pruett is a public speaker and yoga instructor passionate about health and mindfulness. Her take on it is simple: the body doesn’t forget. 

Today, we’re talking about her experience with holding onto grief, the physical toll it can take on your body, and the importance of giving yourself permission to feel again. She reminds us that grief isn’t just losing a parent or family member: it can also be about losing friendships, relationships, ideas, and even yourself.

I’ll take you back to where it all started with my wonderful entrepreneurial family and share some of the pivotal moments in my journey which led to this amazing community of women at the Vixen Gathering.

I enjoyed a lot of success and helped many people along the way, but I knew there was something more that I was meant to do. And when COVD happened and I saw so many women going through a transition of working from home or going off on their own, I knew that I could help coach and mentor women who are pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams. 

I hope this episode will provide you with some tips on starting your own business, navigating change, being authentic and true to yourself. You’ll also get a sneak peek to the "Five Pillars To Solidify Your Foundation" that’ll I’ll be sharing in the weeks to come. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Vixen Voice! This is a podcast for ambitious women entrepreneurs who are ready to move into their feminine essence, live their truth, and unlock their full potential. 

In this episode, you’ll hear why I decided to start the podcast, the inspirational women that you can expect to hear from, as well as my goals, mission and promise to you as we go on this journey together.

My hope is that the Vixen Voice will show you how embracing the feminine leads to more joy and fulfillment, the symbiotic relationship between self-care and self-love, overcoming imposter syndrome, and the path other Vixens took to hit $1M+ in revenue. That and a whole lot more!
