Let's talk about the labels you trust or think you Let's talk about the labels you trust or think you trust. BPA free? Sure. Sounds great. But did you know that free might just be a marketing spin, replacing one chemical villain with another like BPS or BPF? Going natural isn't about swapping chemicals. It's about ditching them all together, says Nita Tandon @dalcinistainless , Wavemaker, founder and innovator, and our inspiring guest on the YouMeWe Amplified podcast. If you want to make waves and #sustainable impact, this conversation dives deep into #consciousconsumerism, innovation, and how we can demand better for ourselves, our families, and our communities. Catch the full episode now, because it's time to rethink what free really means. Enjoy the episode. #womensupportingwomen #youmewemovement #socialimpact #consciousleadership #womenentrepreneurs #nonprofits #socialimpact #sustainability #familyhealth
What if your brand wasn’t about being recognizab What if your brand wasn’t about being recognizable—but about being real? You know what my hairdresser says? "You’re always changing. Always adapting. And if this speaking thing doesn’t work out, you’ve got a future in the hair biz." He’s not wrong—about the changing part. My LinkedIn profile? A gallery of looks that prove it. But the truth? My evolution isn’t about the hair. It’s about showing up as who I really am—unfiltered, unapologetic, and authentic (I know, I have platinum hair; the irony is not lost on me). For those of us disrupting how we lead, do business, or present our messages, the challenge is this: How do you balance being disruptive, authentic, and still recognizable? 5 Ways to Wave-Make Your Brand Authentically: 1. Expose Your Authentic Self Take off the filter. What do you stand for? Who do you serve? For me, I celebrate wave-making women, conscious leaders, and social impact trailblazers—and I call it like I see it. Your voice isn’t just your brand; it’s your truth. 2. Own Your Evolution Branding isn’t just about logos or taglines. It’s about showing up as you grow. For me, that means being a Wave-Maker—bold, adaptable, and unafraid to challenge the status quo. 3. Embrace Your Disruption Your look, your voice, your message—let them disrupt. You’re not here to conform; you’re here to elevate. Boldly. For me, that means cultivating leaders to own their influence without apology. 4. Lean into Your Edge Don’t dull your shine to be “comfortable.” Your edge draws in those ready to grow, challenge norms, and ride the waves alongside you. Being magnetic doesn’t mean pleasing everyone—it means attracting the right ones. 5. Be Real, Not Relatable Let go of people-pleasing. Whether it’s trying bold new approaches, ditching outdated ideas, or even abandoning your hair color safety net 😂—if it’s true to you, it’ll resonate with those who matter. Here’s the question: Are you ready to shake things up? To show up fully—messy evolution, bold voice, and all? ✅ Take off the filters. ✅ Celebrate growth. ✅ ✅ Challenge the edges of your brand, leadership, and yourself. #womenbranding #wavemaker
Does this sound like you? You're well into your Does this sound like you? You're well into your career. A seasoned leader. A wave-maker. You've inspired your team, crushed goals, and made waves of impact. But then it happens. You’re invited to speak. To share how you led your team to success. The room will be packed with peers, maybe potential collaborators, hanging on your every word. And instead of excitement, doubt creeps in. "What do I even say?" "Do I really deserve this spotlight?" "What if they see through me?" Hello, Impostor Syndrome—that pesky voice in your head whispering you’re not enough when, in fact, you’re more than enough. Here’s the truth: Impostor Syndrome doesn’t reflect your reality—it reflects your fear of owning it. As women entrepreneurs and nonprofit wave-makers, we don’t just lead; we revolutionize. We don’t just contribute; we create ripple effects. But sometimes, we hesitate to stand tall and claim our space. This New Year, let’s rewrite that narrative. Let’s amplify our authentic voices, elevate our conscious leadership, and own our impact. 💡 Here’s the challenge: Instead of letting fear hold you back, let it fuel your growth. Say yes to that presentation, yes to stepping into your power, and yes to showcasing how you’ve transformed lives and communities. 🚀 Imagine the ripple effect of your words—not just inspiring those in the room, but empowering you to lean into the leader you’ve always been. So, what’s stopping you? Let’s start the year by breaking the barrier of doubt and amplifying your purpose. The world isn’t waiting for the perfect version of you—it’s waiting for the real version. ✨ Ready to ditch the doubt and ride your next leadership wave? Let’s make 2024 the year you shine unapologetically. 💬 Drop "AMPLIFY" in the comments, and I’ll send you a gift to save 25% on t𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦: 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘺𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 launching soon. Because your voice matters, and when you use it, you don’t just make waves—you create transformation. 🌊
I wish I had known this when I started presenting. I wish I had known this when I started presenting. #authenticvoice Back then, I would stand in front of a room, hoping no one noticed my hands trembling or my voice catching. Inside, a nagging voice whispered: “What if I’m not good enough? What if they see through me?” Sound familiar? You’ve been leading teams, driving change, and creating impact. But when the spotlight shifts to you—when it’s time to speak about your success or share your expertise—that voice of doubt creeps in. "What if I fall flat?" "What if I don’t live up to their expectations?" Here’s the thing about Impostor Syndrome: it doesn’t just appear. It’s often rooted in those moments when you didn’t measure up, when you stumbled—or worse, when you missed the mark. And oh, I know how that feels. Not just because I’ve been there, but because I’ve coached leaders across five continents who’ve faced those same barriers. But here’s the truth: Your past doesn’t define your future. Impostor Syndrome thrives on old stories, but those stories are just that—stories. They don’t reflect who you are now or the leader you’ve become. To amplify your authentic voice and truly make an impact, it starts with this: clearing the slate. Digging deep to uncover and release those unconscious (and sometimes painfully conscious) experiences holding you back. ✨ Imagine stepping into the room and owning it—silencing the inner critic and speaking with clarity and confidence. 🚀 Let’s get started. Gain access to a Conscious Leadership Assessment—a proven tool to illuminate what’s been holding you back and uncover your full potential. Together, we’ll amplify your leadership, your voice, and your impact. ✨Transform Your New Year—Overcome Impostor Syndrome and release authentic you! 💬 DM me with "Conquer my IMPOSTURE " to get started. This year, don’t just show up—own the room. 🌊

🌊 Feminism. A word that sparks inspiration in s 🌊 Feminism. A word that sparks inspiration in some and resistance in others. But why? It’s not about making women strong—we’ve always been strong. It’s about creating the space for that strength to thrive unapologetically, authentically, and impactfully. Yet here we are, over a century since the term feminism entered our lexicon, still rallying for equal rights, equal pay, equal voice. And not just for some women, but for all women—across intersections of race, ability, identity, and geography. The truth is, when women hold more leadership roles, the issues that matter most to our communities—health, infrastructure, pay equity, representation—are not just heard but acted on. So, instead of banishing the term, let’s embrace the movement it represents. Let’s create space for women’s authentic voices and leadership because when we do, everyone benefits. 🚀 What’s one way you’re creating space for women in your workplace, community, or network? Let’s spark some waves of change together. #WaveMaker #Feminism #SocialImpact #WomenInLeadership #IntersectionalEquality #sheIMPACTLeaders
