Find your power

"Something very beautiful happens to people when their world has fallen apart: a humility, a nobility, a higher intelligence emerges at just the point when our knees hit the floor." Marianne Williamson My knees have hit the floor several times over the past year, and I've had a major realization. On a recent Sunday I afternoon, I revamped my entire coaching business, and I've made it my mission to support other brilliant women to prepare for love. There will be more information coming about my group coaching designed to help you attract your soul partner. Head over to jennerlinden.com to find out more.

I've gotten to know Ivy over the past few years and I'm so excited to share her with my audience. Ivy took a graduate program in development studies in Africa after working for a corporate event planning company. She likes to describe her former job as "babysitting adults in cool places." She eventually found herself aligning with several aspects of the job including the travel and gluttonous nature of the scene. After Ivy's mom was diagnosed with cancer--she passed only two weeks later--she found her life and identity were incredibly shaken. Ivy found her way to non-profit work and South Africa. She did her thesis project in a domestic abuse shelter in the Cape Flats, an apartheid relocation area in Cape Town. It was here that she had experiences that "sewed the seeds" for Find Your Power including a women's empowerment tour that allowed her to shadow a young woman in order to pay her Lobola , or bride price, to her parents. She turned down a promotion in higher education and took a Massive Open Online course in Social Entrepreneurship . She organized a team of fifty people of around the idea of women's empowerment and the course drove her to write a business plan. Ivy learned some valuable lessons about success and failure. She says crowdfunding takes an immense amount of time. She also says crowdfunding is difficult without a lot of media attention or a drive to ask people for money. Another key takeaway from our discussion is her emphasis on needs-based assessments as the foundation of her work before creating an app or resource library. Ivy's largest event of the year Poetry Jam is coming up at Shindig in Minneapolis on Give to the Max Day. You can also find out more on Find Your Power's Facebook Page . Are you loving the podcast?
