Today’s theme is all about business — expanding your money mindset, balancing your business and family, and getting the support you deserve as a female entrepreneur!
My guest today, Sandy Connery, is the co-founder of Namastream Software — an online digital platform that enables yoga instructors and wellness practitioners to take their knowledge into the online space by teaching various courses. It’s a user-friendly technology, super amazing, and game-changing for people in that industry!
On today’s podcast, Sandy and I talk about what it actually means to be a woman in business; what it means to think bigger, what it means to set higher standards — and not in the traditional online business way — but to do it uniquely, as a woman. Part of female leadership is being able to step into our role — not to do it like men in a female body, but to do it like women from the values and mindset that women bring to the table.
Be sure to tune in to hear all of Sandy’s knowledge bombs on the types of skills and mindset we need to leverage in order to be able to effectively navigate the entrepreneurial world as a woman!

“It’s life-changing … when women actually act and create whatever they have in their mind for a business or a book or … whatever it is. … We need to act and we all need to be the example so that people can see what’s possible when they start their business.” — Sandy Connery
“I want women to be really confident, have options in front of them, and make a lot of money, so that … no matter what life throws at them, they’re good financially and not dependant on a partner.” — Sandy Connery
“I don’t know why money is so taboo! It’s like this shameful thing to have … or you’re somehow ‘evil’ if you have money. And you just look at the men in the world who have money and … all the things that they can influence, and women need that equal power.” — Sandy Connery
