Women Warriors: Breast Cancer Was Not Their Death Sentence (Part II)

Women Warriors: Breast Cancer Was Not Their Death Sentence (Part II)

 

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We remember and honor all the women who fought and lost and we celebrate the millions who fought and conquered.

 

Two brave, courageous women with unwavering faith; Ramona Kies and Sima Hovannessian, each share their unique story of their journey battling breast cancer from its inception to treatment, victory and where they are with it today. We celebrate these brave women and aim to raise awareness about breast cancer and stress the importance about education, prevention, screening, early detection and treatments.

 

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer became the most common cancer globally as of 2021, accounting for 12% of all new annual cancer cases worldwide.

 

Today’s episode is for every woman, mother, daughter and friend. Every woman needs to know the facts. And the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk.

 

Breast cancer screenings can save a woman’s life and mammograms along with consistent monthly breast self-exams are the best way to detect breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat. As we bring awareness to this issue, we’re urging women to make time for their health and to get screened regularly.

 

Ramona and Sima’s stories exemplify the warrior each woman has within. We are victors, not victims. Each and every single one of us has the same unconquerable spirit we see in these two amazing women. Let us always remember and celebrate that spirit.

Stories of Success: 4th in a series of female entrepreneurs.
Andrea Thiele: Creative Force, Filmmaker, Visionary, Entrepreneur

From fashion model turned Entrepreneur, Andrea’s a creative force of nature with
a huge purpose.

We all know that women have great powers of creativity and resilience. In these series
we speak with women who have identified their purpose and have extraordinary faith in
their dream.

From ordinary 9-5 jobs that no longer fulfill purpose and ignite passion, these tenacious
female entrepreneurs have made their move: some bold, some strategic and calculated
but always with that one common ingredient uniting them all...the LEAP. The leap they
all had to take: The Leap of Faith.

Andrea Thiele is a feature documentary filmmaker and multi-passionate entrepreneur
on a mission to help women access their creative power, craft their signature stories
and walk their authentic path to success. She’s found what’s often holding women back
is thinking their story doesn’t matter, their capabilities are limited and therefore, they
stay caged in old identity patterns.

As a Director for Television documentary series, Andrea has worked with hundreds of
people and professionals over the years. She uses the wisdom and knowledge gained
from her experiences to give her vision a voice, that as women, we must evolve and
expand our identity and radically follow our calling.

Andrea is currently shooting a documentary about childfree women and the stigma
attached to them in different cultures around the world. She continues to direct
advocacy movies and PSAs in disasters zones like Haiti, Nepal and the Bahamas.
Andrea enjoys surfing in the winters in California and hiking in the summer in Germany.

Stories of Success: 2nd in a series of female entrepreneurs.

We all know that women have great powers of creativity and resilience. In these series we speak with women who have identified their purpose and have extraordinary faith in their dream.

From ordinary 9-5 jobs that no longer fulfill purpose and ignite passion, these tenacious female entrepreneurs have made their move: some bold, some strategic and calculated but always with that one common ingredient uniting them all...the LEAP.

The leap they all had to take: The Leap of Faith.

Today we hear the story of Deenie Leon Robbins. Deenie suffered for many years from chronic illness. After 7 long years of excruciating pain, fatigue, nausea, convulsions and weakness, Deenie found her healing in colon hydrotherapy and detox. This healing experience caused Deenie to make a promise to herself that she would never let another person go through the same turmoil she had faced. She has dedicated the last 26 years of her life to educating herself and others about holistic wellness and full-body detoxification. Since beginning this journey, she has accumulated thousands of clients from all over the world. 

Today, Deenie has a thriving practice in Tarzana, California as a Holistic Health Practitioner, I-ACT certified instructor for colon hydrotherapy, and a QRA level 2 Practitioner. Deenie believes all challenges should be met with care, consistency, and knowledge.  Her mission is to educate and empower all about their health, especially women. “Life is very short and we only have these bodies and this chance once.”

Females are working tirelessly to structure their thoughts and use their superpowers regardless of any struggle they may have to meet and fiercely create history for themselves, for others and even within a community of cultures.

 

From ordinary 9-5 jobs that no longer fulfill purpose and ignite passion, these tenacious female entrepreneurs have made their move: some bold, some strategic and calculated but always with that one common ingredient uniting them all...the LEAP.  The leap they all had to take: The Leap of Faith.

 

Let's hear their unique stories, one woman and one story at a time.  Today we hear the story of Risper Wangari, born and raised in Kenya who took that leap of faith in America.  

Women and Entrepreneurship 3rd in a three-part series: Support and Accountability

In the last few episodes, coach Rayana explained what it means to be an entrepreneur, the science of entrepreneurship and 3 fundamental elements and characteristics every entrepreneur should nurture and develop to be successful. 

 

We learned about the first two; Mindest (how everything starts with and is influenced by your mindset) and, Habits and Routine.

 

In this 3 rd and last episode of the series, coach Rayana, founder/CEO of Catalyst Coaching Solutions, talks about the unparalleled importance of Support and Accountability. Entrepreneurship can feel like a lonely business but we must remember, no one succeeds alone and we all need help. We need support to get us to the results we want faster and easier.

 

As an entrepreneur, we start off as being solopreneur slaves- we have to master every role. In order to move up, there comes a point where we have to trust other people to do the work for us. Coach Rayana believes we must get over limiting beliefs and surrender control to free up our time so we can work on our business and not in the business.

 

When we are accountable she says, we rise to the occasion and we shine the best version of ourselves. Accountability brings out the best in us. We rise to occasion when someone else is watching. Every time we stretch ourselves and do what we say we’re going to do, we boost our confidence. Accountability boosts confidence and breeds success.

 

Listen to coach Rayana explain the various types of accountability and support and the different techniques used to achieve them.

Women and Entrepreneurship 2nd Episode in a three-part Series: Habits and Routine

Habits and Routine are core elements every entrepreneur must master on their journey to success.

 

In this 2 nd in a three-part series episode, business coach, Rayana Starre, dives in deep and explains the anatomy of habits and how using triggers/cues lead to behavior and action. She believes in befriending your calendar and using it as a tool to be your boss; if you make this a routine she says, you’ll see that it is a very effective method in building a habit around. No wonder highly successful entrepreneurs rave about their specific daily habits and routines and credit them for their success.

 

Coach Rayana also believes in the Power of Small. Focus on one small change at a time until it

becomes automatic. On this journey, make sure you track your progress and reward yourself.

 

She reminds us that ‘Habit’ formation is a journey and not a destination. It takes 66-67 days to

form a habit. Don’t try to be perfect she says, just be consistent.

 

Finally, coach Rayana emphasizes that Knowing your “Why” is extremely important as it lays the groundwork for you to plan out on. A mentor and a coach are instrumental in this process to keep you on track and moving forward – this is why we see most highly accomplished and successful entrepreneurs having their personal coach or coaches.

Women and Entrepreneurship 1st episode in a three-part Series – MINDSET

Everything starts with Mindset. Perception is projection. What you perceive and believe is what you will see in the world.

 

In this episode, Rayana Starre, founder/CEO of Catalyst Coaching Solutions, LLC explains why mindset is one of the most fundamental elements to work on and refine on our journey to success. Fears and limiting beliefs will unequivocally impact our reality. Rayana shares one of her techniques she uses as a coach, and she calls it: Chase the Fear by having a dialogue with it!

 

Her message to fellow women entrepreneurs: Fear, Frustration and Failure are part of the entrepreneurial journey. Make peace with that ladies! Befriend your fears and make them your allies!

 

Rayana advises all women to stick together and help each other out, inspire and support each other rather than compete.
