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.

Managing your time with constant text messages and emails can be a huge challenge if you're a successful businesswoman. If you don't set boundaries, those distractions will keep you from staying focused at work and present at home.

That's why I'm so excited to share this conversation with my good friend Shelle Vernon because we're talking about how she manages to stay focused and on top of her business ventures while also being a mom to 5 children.

If you're a solopreneur or a mompreneur going through a busy season, this is a perfect episode for you. We're sharing our best tips on how we take care of business when work and family need our attention at the same time, finding ways to fill your cup, setting healthy boundaries, and staying on track with your goals.

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.

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!
