Owning Your Shine

This episode features a recent amiga I made while in Nashville last year on a girls’ trip for my birthday.

One thing that struck me about Nashville was the beautiful, friendly energy the women there emitted. They were exceptionally generous with their smiles and compliments, and my guest Jessica Dinan (and her friend, Alexis) are perfect representatives of that southern charm.

My friend Julie (whom I interviewed on episode 16) and I met Jessica and Alexis at this rad “speakeasy” in Nashville. Get this: to access this place, you knock on the side door in a dark alley, and then wait for a guy to let you in (one person/group at a time). Upon entering, you’re greeted with dim lighting and a cool, artistic vibe. You wait in a lounge area until someone comes and chats with you, asking you questions and getting to know you, to create an artisan cocktail tailored to your tastes and personality (he nailed it, btw - fresh and spicy, just like I like it!).

We ended up sitting next to Jessica and Alexis and forming a fast, easy connection, bonding over girl power and good vibes, and celebrating each other’s accomplishments.

Of course we all became Instagram buds, through which we stay connected, and I was psyched when Jessica agreed to come on the pod.

In this episode, we chat about owning your shine. Clapping for others AND yourself. Realizing there’s plenty to go around. Jessica shares how ambition, action, resilience, and hard work yielded professional and personal success.

It’s a fun, refreshing, empowering conversation.
