Hearing Annie's story will inspire you to think about your own brand and how it can be more inclusive. Lastly, we uncover the power of joy as a beacon of hope, even amidst adversity. Drawing inspiration from Victor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning, we discuss finding joy in the face of oppression, exemplified by a woman taking down a Russian drone with a pickle jar. We reveal how joy can simultaneously be an act of rebellion and a permission slip for others to fight for their rights.

In this week’s episode Minessa Konecky, joins us to share their story and experiences being in direct sales and facing rejection. The secret is that it all starts from within, sometimes we feel like rejection comes from outside when in reality is more of a story we tell ourselves when we feel like we’re in a situation where we are being rejected. It’s all about working in our mindset to finally move beyond rejection. Host of the podcast Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself, Minessa Konecky, has worked in business long enough to know that if you don’t fit into the box society wants you in, you’ll have a harder time achieving your dreams. Creating a community for people who don’t fit in has been Minessa’s passion and calling for 20+ years. Minessa has worked in the corporate world and coached entrepreneurs on elevating their businesses. Empower underrepresented communities and bring them together in a variety of social media spaces including Patreon. They are an expert on how to level up without silencing who you are.
