“Why not me?” asks stay-at-home mother Stephanie Mahoney when evaluating her hesitancy to achieve her goals. After years of believing that being a mom and lacking a degree would prevent her from finding professional success, Stephanie decided to travel outside her comfort zone. After experiencing a difficult postpartum during the pandemic, Stephanie had a change of perspective and began allowing positive affirmations into her life. Stephanie is now a passionate brand ambassador for Monat, a naturally-based skincare and shampoo line. Although she sometimes feels judged for her position in multi-level marketing, Stephanie now understands that she “can’t please everyone” and continues to make a difference in people’s lives.Tune into this week’s episode of Breaking Labels for a conversation on shifting your mindset and speaking your dreams into existence. Through Stephanie’s determination to build a financially freeing career, learn how anything is possible with consistent action and a positive frame of mind.Quotes• “I had to find myself where I was going to go down a very dark hole of postpartum, mother of three, trying to figure that out and I couldn't take the kids anywhere. I couldn't see my family. I couldn't see friends. And to be honest with you, when you get backed into a corner like that, it's either Option A: go down the spiraling rabbit hole, or Option B: get uncomfortable.” (16:41-17:10)• “You're 40% more likely to achieve a goal when you write it down and you speak it into existence. That's why people say speak it out loud, tell people about it. Because your brain is going to start hearing that and now it's going to start finding things to help prove that correctly.” (44:40-44:57)• “Why not me? Why am I limiting myself because I'm a mom, because I didn't get a degree, because I didn't finish? I've never finished anything in my life. Because I've been in relationship to relationship from kid to kid to kid. Like, dang it. I'm going to see something through and if that means scraping myself out of the soil for seven years like a bamboo tree, then gosh darn it. If that's what it takes, and that's what God has for me, then I'm going to continue to do it.” (49:25-50:00)• “My biggest fear was not pleasing people and doing my own thing and not worrying about what other people think. The minute I just changed that mindset and said, ‘You know, I'm gonna put myself out there.’ If I lose followers, that's fine. That means I'm niching down to people who do want to follow me. If you don't want to see what I have to say, that's okay. I can't please everyone, I can't speak to everyone. I can speak to my niche and my people that I can relate with and basically be friends with because that's what this is about.” (1:08:32-1:09:05)• “There's nothing wrong with making money as long as you're trying to serve people. You're trying to send a positive message. I don't think that there is anything wrong with that.” (1:13:16-1:13:32)• “If you're in multilevel marketing or wanting to be a part of multi level marketing, then I would just say choose wisely. Don't just go to your friend who's like, ‘Oh, sign up with me because I love it.’ Find someone who's serious. Find someone who has your best interests at heart.” (1:28:17-1:28:33)LinksConnect with Stephanie Mahoney: https://www.instagram.com/stephlmahoney/* To donate to the production and advertising costs for A Different Perspective, check out this page on Go Fund Her: https://gofundher.com/differentperspective* To donate to the production and advertising costs for Her Time, check out this page on Go Fund Her: https://gofundher.com/hertimeConnect with host Rosanna Gill and Breaking Labels:• https://www.instagram.com/breakinglabelspodcast/• https://breakinglabelspodcast.com/• https://www.instagram.com/rosanna.e.gill/Have a scenario where you asked or said something that offended someone, but you don't know why?

For this episode, I wanted to take the time to talk about the future. Specifically, about this podcast and two new projects that I’ve been working on.Inspired by my desire for a talk about race and ethnicity, I’ve decided to launch a series here on the Breaking Labels podcast called “A Different Perspective”. In this series, I’ll be having really open conversations that get into the questions some people have a hard time asking -- and answering.My second project is a brand new podcast called, “Her Time”, a show dedicated to stories of women who feel that they are meant to do something more and are called to answer that gentle rage within themselves.With so many new things happening, I also wanted to take the time to thank every single one of you guys listening in! I wouldn’t be where I am today if not for the absolutely overwhelming support you all have given me. Episode Highlights:Questions open us to discussions but statements don’tAbout my new series, “A Different Perspective”What the “Her Time” podcast will focus onMy future plans for “Breaking Labels”Links referenced in this episode:Mixxxed Chicks InstagramThe Kinswomen PodcastTo donate to the production and advertising costs for A Different Perspective, check out this page on Go Fund Her: https://gofundher.com/differentperspectiveTo donate to the production and advertising costs for Her Time, check out this page on Go Fund Her: https://gofundher.com/hertimeConnect with host Rosanna Gill and Breaking Labels:Website | Breaking Labels PodcastInstagram | @breakinglabelspodcastInstagram | @rosanna.e.gillHave a scenario where you asked or said something that offended someone, but you don't know why?Share the details and it will be discussed on the Breaking Labels podcast during the 'A Different Perspective' series.

“You can choose to lead your life beyond the predicament you’re in. You can choose to see the light.” This was the advice that jewelry designer Lia Valencia’s mother gave her. At the time, they were living a difficult life in Philadelphia, and Lia was headed down a negative path. However, Lia credits her mother's words for unlocking her life, letting her natural light shine through, and inspiring her to start her joyful jewelry brand, Valencia Key.Lia’s mother also taught her that if you choose something, you should see it through. Lia took this advice to heart through her every endeavor, propelling her to earn a Master's in Education and her Cosmetology Instructor License. Realizing her goal of styling for QVC, Lia spent five years making this dream a reality. There, she met the incredible dream makers who changed her life and gave her the courage to become the designer she is today. Although not all of Lia’s accomplishments have served her long-term, she understands the power of learning who you are and that even if your progress is slow, positive energy will get you there. Tune into this week’s episode of Breaking Labels for a conversation on choosing joy no matter what hurdles come your way. Through Lia’s story of entrepreneurship, learn how to “speak your dreams into the world,” finish what you start, and maintain your enthusiasm for life to achieve your goals.Quotes• “I started in super humble beginnings, and I love sharing that because it shows it doesn't matter where you come from. It doesn't matter what the world says about you. All that matters is what you believe to be true in your heart, and what you decide to do with the power that is you.” (12:05-12:19)• “You can choose to lead. You can choose to lead your life beyond the predicament we're in. You can choose to see the light. You can choose to define that your predicament does not determine your destiny. And then she left it and said, ‘And you choose.’ And that was that easy.” (16:27-16:47)• “One power is really truly understanding who you are, what your strengths are, what you're good at, what works for you, what doesn't work for you.” (22:28-22:35)• “I feel like enthusiasm, energy and light is more powerful than any skill you'll ever obtain. Because you can't manufacture that.” (26:40-26:50)• “But my message that I want to give to everyone now, a key that I'd love to give to everyone now is to speak your dreams into the world. And it's really important, it's served me so well. But what, I must be clear. Speak your dreams without expectation. You're not looking to receive something when you speak it out. You are literally just getting it out of your body to permeate into the world. So that it can land in the world.” (32:15-32:49)LinksConnect with Lia Valencia Key:• www.valenciakey.com• https://www.instagram.com/liavalenciakey/• https://www.instagram.com/valenciakeydesign/Connect with host Rosanna Gill and Breaking Labels:• https://www.instagram.com/breakinglabelspodcast/• https://breakinglabelspodcast.com/• https://www.instagram.com/rosanna.e.gill/Have a scenario where you asked or said something that offended someone, but you don't know why?
