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.

What if your brand wasn’t about being recognizab

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. 🌊

🌊 Here’s another word that’s lost its luste

🌊 Here’s another word that’s lost its luster.

Why is it that when a word, an idea, or even a revolution makes certain people uncomfortable, it gets weaponized into a slur? #WaveMaker #StayWoke #SocialImpact #ConsciousLeadership #WomenEntrepreneurs #NonProfits

🌊 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.

🌊 With all this talk about big biz pulling DEI

🌊 With all this talk about big biz pulling DEI initiatives (I see you, Walmart 👀), I can't help but think, "What are you thinking?"

𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁—i𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

When we build equity into our businesses, teams, and communities, we're not just leveling the playing field; we're creating waves of innovation, inclusion, and long-term success. 🌱

Let this be a reminder: choosing equity isn’t about losing power—it’s about amplifying it. It’s about reshaping systems to empower every voice, because when one of us rises, we all rise.
