Manage episode 519432144 series 3685263
You don’t need a million followers to make an impact … you just need the courage to speak your truth. Sara Wiles, the ultimate girls’ girl and Founder of The Start And Grow Co., joins this episode to talk about what it really means to use your voice for change. From post election heartbreak to fearless activism, Sara shares her journey from quiet confidence to embracing her truth and making an impact. She opens up about learning to speak out even when it’s uncomfortable, the power of female connection, and why being “palatable” isn’t the goal. The conversation also dives into how privilege, beauty, and authenticity intersect in the world of influence, plus Sara’s advice for getting involved, making a difference in your own way, and showing up even when it’s scary. If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice matters or how to use it for something bigger than yourself, this episode is your permission slip to just get in the arena!
