The secret ingredient to empowerment? Purpose-driv The secret ingredient to empowerment? Purpose-driven action! 💡 Join me on the YouMeWe Amplified Podcast for an inspiring conversation with Rebecca Sherbino, founder and Executive Director of @rawcarrotsocial Raw Carrot. Rebecca's journey of transforming a side hustle into a social movement is a testament to the power of mission-driven entrepreneurship. The Raw Carrot is a not-for-profit social enterprise that’s stirring the pot—literally and figuratively! Through gourmet soup creation, they provide meaningful employment and dignity to individuals with disabilities and mental illnesses. Rebecca and I dive deep into the highs and hurdles of building a supportive work environment, the evolution of The Raw Carrot, and the balancing act of generating income while driving social outcomes for sustainability. Tune in to uncover Rebecca's insights on operating like a business, the social franchise model, and impact measurement—essentials for any leader looking to make waves in social enterprise. Ready to be inspired? Let’s make waves. https://podcast.youmewe.ca/rebecca-sherbino-the-raw-carrot/ (visit profile) #SocialImpact #Leadership #PurposeDriven #TheRawCarrot #YouMeWeAmplified #SocialEnterprise #women #womenentrepreneurs #nonprofit #socialenterprise #mentalhealth #disableempowerment --- 🌊 I'm Suzanne F. Stevens, your Wave-Maker at the YouMeWe Social Impact Group, empowering a WE Culture by cultivating conscious leadership. I amplify the voices and impact of sheSocial•IMPACT Leaders through coaching, training, speaking, events, and on the YouMeWe Amplified Podcast.

The teacher becomes the student. As Wave-Makers The teacher becomes the student. As Wave-Makers and social impact leaders, we’re here to lift others. But how often do we pause to consider that the people we help might need to offer something in return—not for our sake, but for theirs? This week, the importance of dignity took on a new meaning for me. My 90-year-old neighbor, having just lost her son, found herself facing deep loss, confusion, and an uncertain future. After expressing my condolences, I stepped in—organizing meals, clearing her son’s apartment, coordinating with doctors and lawyers... On day two, she tried to give me a gift as thanks. I declined. By day three, she insisted, handing me a small token from her birthplace in Germany. It struck me that accepting this gift wasn’t about me at all; it was about her (I don't even know if she is aware of how much I like beer!). In the midst of chaos, this was one thing she could control. This was her way to maintain a sense of dignity and purpose. As conscious leaders, the question isn’t just about what we can give but also how we receive. Allowing others the opportunity to reciprocate—even in small ways—gives them a sense of power, a chance to feel needed, and ultimately, dignified. So, as you make waves of change, remember this: Accept what those you serve may offer, however small. In doing so, you’re giving them back a piece of their own strength. Are you creating space for others to give back? Let’s empower with reciprocity. #SocialImpact, #WaveMakers, #consciousleadership #socialenterpreneurs #weculture #youmewemovement
Did you know that October is not only #WomensHisto Did you know that October is not only #WomensHistoryMonth in Canada, but it’s also: Small Business Month Breast Cancer Awareness Month National Disability Employment Awareness Month Autism Awareness Month Dyslexia Awareness Month Yet, amidst all this vital awareness, Women’s History Month in Canada seems to have slipped through the cracks. I’ve heard mention of every other cause in the media, but the celebration of the incredible contributions of Canadian women? Crickets. Why is that? This year’s theme is "Through Her Lens: Celebrating the Diversity of Women"—spotlighting the unique perspectives of Indigenous women, 2SLGBTQI+ communities, women with disabilities, newcomers, and more. It’s a moment to reflect on their struggles, triumphs, and the impact they’ve made in shaping a more inclusive Canada. But without recognition, how do we fully honor this diversity? This silence is concerning, especially when we know that parity still doesn’t exist in Canada. And the silence surrounding Women’s History Month only underscores how much more work we need to do. As a Wave-Maker, I’ve been celebrating Women’s History Month in my way—by interviewing extraordinary women who aren’t just talking about change but are living it, catalyzing sustainable social solutions in their communities. These women are making waves. 🌊🌊🌊 So, who’s your Canadian woman making a difference? Who inspires you, your community, or your business? Let’s shine a spotlight on the women transforming Canada today. Add their names below so we can celebrate them! #WomensHistoryMonth #CelebrateWomen #CanadianWomen #WaveMakers #SocialImpact #DiversityMatters #WomenEmpowerment #youmewe

Does their body language scream ‘leader’ or ‘liar’? Conscious leaders know that communication is more than just words (because let’s face it, political debates often say nothing). What truly speaks volumes is body language. By observing the non-verbal cues of US presidential nominees during the debate, we can learn a lot about who we’d want to follow—or even emulate as leaders. Body language cues from each candidate offer insights into their leadership style. These observations hold lessons for Conscious Leaders aiming to inspire, influence, and drive action. Let’s break it down: Donald Trump: 1. The Power Pose Perch – Standing wide, elbows out, and chest puffed up like he owns the room. Lesson: Confidence is key, but overdoing it creates barriers. Balance presence with approachability. 2. The Pinch-and-Point Parade – His go-to thumb-to-index-finger gesture, often evolving into a point. Lesson: Precision reinforces authority, but overuse can be abrasive. 3. The Leaning Tower of Trump – Forward-leaning into the mic, hammering a point home—subtlety not included. Lesson: Leaning in emphasizes a point, but leaders must also lean back and listen. 4. The Shrug of Shrugs – A quick raise of the shoulders when cornered, as if to say, "What can I tell ya?" Lesson: Shrugging off challenges sends the wrong message. Own your positions with confidence. 5. The Chopping Block Chop – A swift, downward hand chop to slice through conversation or cut off an opponent. Lesson: Sharp gestures can signal urgency, but overuse makes you appear dismissive or aggressive. Kamala Harris: 1. The Raised Eyebrow Remix – One eyebrow slightly up, a hint of skepticism with sass. Lesson: Use sparingly to communicate awareness without seeming overly critical. 2. The Tilt-and-Talk Tactic – Tilting her head while speaking, signaling empathy and understanding. Lesson: A tilted head connects on a human level but, for women, be cautious—limit use to avoid looking like you’re seeking permission. How well do you know your body language 1 - 10?

How is your follow-through? We talk a lot about a How is your follow-through? We talk a lot about authenticity, alignment, and purpose—but let’s get real for a second. How often do we actually follow through on what we promise, not only to others but to ourselves? Recently, I wrapped up a coaching series that focused on reaching a client’s full potential. As excited as I am about her transformational journey, I was honestly taken aback by one thing she said. For over a decade, she had been seeking a coach—filling out intake forms, sending emails, following up after a speakers' offers, only to be met with... crickets. No follow-through. Ten years. Can you imagine? When she finally found me through a conference, she almost hesitated—after all, follow-through had been a foreign concept in her experience. But guess what? I showed up, and we did the work together. Here’s what she said: "It was one of the single best things I’ve ever done for myself. Suzanne walked me through uncertainty, helped me correct my path, and guided me toward something better than I could’ve imagined." Why am I sharing this? Because my client could have been living a more fulfilled life years ago. Follow-through is everything. It’s not just about what you say you’ll do. It’s about showing up. Showing up for your clients, your team, your mission—but most importantly, for yourself. So, how is your follow-through? Are you walking your talk? Are you committed to seeing it through, even when life throws curveballs? Your authenticity isn’t just in the grand gestures—it’s in the details, in the follow-up, and in the consistency of your actions. Ready to reach your full potential and follow through? I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s make it happen. If you want to transform your life and live your potential, DM me, and I promise to send you the assessment that started my client's transformational journey. #AmplifyYourVoice #ConsciousLeadership #WomenLeaders #SocialImpact #FollowThrough #founder #nonprofit #womenentrepreneurs 🌊 I'm Suzanne F.
