Ignite with Jess Soto-Ramirez

Let's talk about change baby!! [*cue salt n pepa*] Really though! Change is part of life, it allows us to grow, shift and create So we are we resisting change? We are fearing, doubting, questioning and getting stuck. Space and change go hand in hand - something I learned when I made the big decision to close my first business, Jnr St. The ability [but more importantly the permission to myself] to...

How often are we telling ourselves we "should" do or feel this or that? This word just sits in our vocab as an anchor to living a life that has been expected of us or dictated by society.  I feel as female entrepreneurs, we step into this with a desire to create something different and not necessarily conform to all the "should's" - what do you think? Add to the "should's" the blurred boundar...

Just so you know, you are not less than anyone else. Read that again.  Having these thoughts will only hold you back from doing things in your life that you are made for. If the dream or thought is in you; it's because it is made for you. Problem is we often define ourselves based on society's standards and we bump and grind with the dangerous comparison which leads us to feeling shit about o...

Where are YOU on your list? As women we get sold a story that the more we sacrifice ourselves, and put others first, the more loving, caring, nurturing and giving we are. I'm not buying it... anymore! I bought it for long enough, until I had to stop. First of all I had to stop buying into this for ME but also for those around me. Ironic right? If you and I don't start challenging this, then who wi...
