• 209. Power: What it *Truly* Is (Plus a 10-second Practice to Help You Get It) with Kasia Urbaniak

  Have you ever wondered what “real power” looks like when it isn’t tied to manipulation or the patriarchy’s playbook? In this eye-opening episode, I sat down with Kasia Urbaniak, former professional dominatrix, long-time Taoist practitioner, and women’s empowerment coach, to reveal the subtle ways we give up our power—and exactly how to take it back. We’re talking about personal agency, unapologetic desire, and how to step into every room—boardroom or bedroom—with the kind of confidence that amplifies your voice and serves your well-being. If you’ve ever found yourself holding back from asking for a raise, a favor, or even a simple upgrade because you fear rejection or being labeled “too much,” this episode will be your game-changer.  Kasia’s Links:  Website: https://www.kasiaurbaniak.com/ Unbound Book: https://www.kasiaurbaniak.com/unbound-book Read transcripts, learn more about our guests and sponsors, and get more resources at https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-show-notes/209-power-what-it-truly-is-plus-a-10-second-practice-to-help-you-get-it-with-kasia-urbaniak/ Not sure where to start on your financial journey?

• The TikTok Ban: What It Means for You + A Guide to Building An Audience OFF Social Media

  TikTok is (maybe) shutting down. The app I used to grow an audience of over 2 MILLION followers is likely disappearing this week –– but I’m not afraid, and you shouldn’t be either. In this episode, I’m breaking down how my team is preserving my data on TikTok and planning for a future without the app that brought us SO much. I’m also getting into how I got followers off of social media and onto my own land and how you can do the same as a business owner.

  Forget everything you’ve been told about reaching for your dreams, because in today’s episode, we’re busting myths and revealing the evidence-based secrets to setting and achieving big goals—without relying on the decades-old (and often ineffective) SMART framework. As we kick off a new year (and possibly a whole new you!), I'm excited to welcome Caroline Adams Miller, a globally recognized authority on positive psychology, grit, and the true science of goal-setting. We cover everything from mastering the difference between performance and learning goals to building a supportive community that actually cheers you on. If you’re done playing small and ready to step into your power, this conversation has your name all over it.
