Money Stories with Alexandra Taketa EP: 021
playlist_add
We all have money stories. Yet this topic is one that most of us shy away from and are even discouraged from discussing. Whether it’s from being told that it’s not polite to talk about money, or we’re too ashamed to discuss our own financial status, we do not talk about wealth as much as we should. But more than just the amount that’s sitting in your bank account (although this matters quite a lot!), true wealth depends on the mindset we have about money and our relationship with it ...

What It Means to Step Into Your Brave EP: 093
If you’ve tuned in to the news these past few days, then you’ll know how everyone’s divided and has their own opinion on the outcome of the Roe v. Wade case.
No, I am not going to make a commentary on or political analysis of what happened. Rather, in light of what transpired, I’m going to place emphasis on the value of listening to truly appreciate all sides of the stories we hear. I’m going to zero in on why women should let their voices be heard, even in the face of uncertainty and fear.
In this episode, I talk about:
How the recent conversations and events surrounding Roe v. Wade made me realize anew the importance of sharing our stories
Using our stories in a way that bridges the gap between individuals, and doesn’t cause further division among people
The courage it takes and the action needed for you to STEP INTO YOUR BRAVE – which is the theme of the second LIGHTbeamers collaborative book and our upcoming Storytelling Symposium
What I wrote six years ago that means as much today as it did when I first wrote it
The love and gratitude I feel for the work I am able to do, and for all of you who have been part of my journey so far
Our stories are not only important; they are powerful. And the challenge for all of us is to not only share them, but to use them in creating a world that celebrates individuality, kindness, and empowerment. Let our stories inspire hope, bring love, and shine a light where there’s none.
Are you with me? Let’s go.
The Storytelling Symposium is going live and in-person again this year! Be inspired in the company of women who are stepping into their brave and sharing their stories. Join us in San Antonio, Texas on September 25-26, and get ready for your life to be transformed. To know more, click here: www.lightbeamers.com/symposium

ICYMI: The Importance of Feminism Today EP: 092
What is feminism? The definition of the word has become muddled over the years, and I believe there will always be a debate on what it really means. But one thing’s for sure: feminism remains a relevant part of society today, as it was when the ideology started many years ago.
So today, I’m bringing back an episode from the early days of The Inside Story Podcast. In it, I talk about feminism and what it means to me, and how elevating women’s voices can bring about the positive change we want to see in this world.
Join me today as I share with you:
Why I decided to revive this episode on feminism
How I viewed the concept of feminism before, and what I think about it now especially in light of the work I do with the women inside my community
What all of us must do to keep moving forward in our quest to have not just equality, but a balanced collaboration in society
We may have a long way to go before we achieve what the original feminists wanted to accomplish. But there is always something we can do. We can always choose to take a step towards having a culture that empowers everyone, regardless of gender.
I’d love to know your thoughts on this one! Join us over at the LIGHTbeamers Community on Facebook or send me a DM on Instagram and let’s keep the conversation going.

Crabs in a Bucket with Debbie Adams EP: 091
What is it about successful people that sets them apart from the rest of humanity? Is it just plain skill and talent? These help, of course, but I find that it’s their resilience and grit in the face of adversity that distinguishes them from the rest.
And Debbie Adams is no exception. She has taken on every obstacle in her way and made them stepping stones to her success. Her story is nothing short of inspiring, and I truly believe that her journey has just begun.
So I invite you to listen in as Debbie and I talk about:
Her background growing up in Newfoundland and her mother’s accident that changed her life
Joining the military where she found her second family and the devastating reason why she had to leave that structured environment
Separating from her husband and taking her daughter with her, and enrolling in university in the same year
The feeling of not being hired despite her skills, and how she found out that starting her own business was the way out of poverty
The “crabs in a bucket” mentality and why she’s the crab that got out of the bucket
Fully living her purpose today and being excited for what the future holds for her
When you go through setbacks and difficulties and decide not to give up, that’s inner strength. And it is this strength that will bring out the best in you and push you to new heights. So don’t give up. Let Debbie’s story inspire you to always persevere and move forward as you work your way towards the best life that’s meant for you.
