To celebrate 100 episodes of the podcast, I have a very special guest for you. In today’s episode, I have the gorgeous Melanie Ann Layer, the CEO of Alpha Femme, and a multi 8-figure business mentor for luxury brands and entrepreneurs, and as you’ll hear, she has not only made such an impact on my own life but on the lives of many thousands and thousands of women around the world.

In this potent episode, you’ll hear:

• My introduction to Melanie’s work and my honest thoughts from when I first became aware of Alpha Femme years ago [5:14]

• What’s been on her mind the most lately and how Melanie is feeling a “back to basics” energy in what she does [8:23]

• The key lessons that have been showing up for her as she climbs the staircase of life and views things from a new vantage point [12:00]

• What the big differences are in living in the creative versus the competitive plane and the courageous conversation Melanie is encourage women to have with each other [23:13]

• Why she approaches business as an art more so than the traditional logical approach [25:23]

• The incredible story of Melanie and I bumping into each other in Paris, France, and the synchronicities of this event [29:18]

• What Melanie wants others to understand about being “the best” at something [37:08]

• The downsides that exist when you get stuck in that competitive plane and the things that pain her right now about the next generation of women [41:50]

• What is the next version of Melanie’s Beautiful Soul-Led Life that she is feeling into, and why she’s so excited about her new member, We Are Alpha Femme [53:44]
  
  

I feel that everyone needs to hear Melanie’s epic story and know her beautiful story and mission. In this episode, she reveals why as women, we need to be taking the creative path and one of collaboration, not competition, if we hope to all evolve and achieve what it is that we are all meant to be, and have.

Years ago when my husband and I started Elegant Femme, we really grew our social media presence on YouTube. The platforms that are popular today didn’t exist, or in the case of podcasts, were just getting started. Back then we did weekly videos, and one of those videos, Let Yourself Be Skinny, really resonated with viewers with its message of not placing an upper limit on ourselves and allowing ourselves to experience all that we desire. We thought this was a special message and we were inspired to now do a series called Let Yourself Be, and today I’m bringing you the first episode of this series, Let Yourself Be Happy.

In this potent episode, you’ll hear:

• Why we so often resist happiness and the some of the things we might say to ourselves when doing this [7:02]

• How the FemmeTypes can support you when things don’t go the way that you want them to [10:23]

• A couple of gorgeous ways to step into this energy of happiness [12:39]

• An invitation I have for you to dive deeper into this conversation of letting yourself be happy [17:17]

If you would like to see the video version of this episode on YouTube, I strongly recommend you watch it as we’re doing some fun things that we’ve never done with video before, to give you an interactive experience.

You can also go ahead and join us at https://www.elegantfemme.com/let-yourself-be for a beautiful playbook that will support you in integrating each part of this series. I also invite you to our Women Living Fully Facebook Group, where we will be having a deeper conversation.

As you listen to this episode, I encourage you to let go, the best you can, of any preconceived notions of what “happy” means to you and really sit with yourself and consider the very first question that I ask you inside of this episode.

What comes up for you as you consider letting yourself be happy? I’d love for you to join us on YouTube to share your thoughts, and tag us or send me a DM on Instagram, @taraannmarino, or at our new account, @elegantfemme.ef.

Today I want to introduce you to an absolutely gorgeous soul who I can only describe as ‘exquisite.’ I was so moved by this guest’s heart, and she literally is walking love. Sophia Spallino is a dynamic feminine, lesbian business coach, and inter-spiritual advocate. She helps powerful women build profitable brands as a social media strategist, personal brand coach and content creator, but there is so much more to her story that she reveals in this beautiful conversation.

In this potent episode, you’ll hear:

• Sophia’s story of growing up, discovering her sexuality and building her own business from the ground up [9:41]

• The wisdom she has gained and thoughts on staying true to your word and having the courage to be yourself, without putting yourself in a box [17:42]

• How Sophia was able to embody inside of herself and live into the truth of her oneness with Jesus [25:29]

• A look at her morning routine and the three containers she prioritizes her day [35:10]

• What Sophia says should be the non-negotiables that you need to be doing on social media as a business right now [37:46]

• Her expert advice for women who want to work on gaining a bigger presence on social media [42:53]

Sophia not only overcame personal and professional challenges, in the process she embraced her true identity, and she now empowers others to live authentically. I’m honoured that Sophia joined me on the podcast to share her insights on faith, resilience, and the power of self-expression, and I invite you to move into this interview with such an open heart and allow yourself to receive what’s here for you.

Did something Sophia say inspire you to live more authentically, and not inside of a box as well? We’d love to hear your thoughts, so tag us or send me a DM on Instagram, @sophiaspallino, @taraannmarino, or at our new account, @elegantfemme.ef!

I’ve been learning to speak Italian as I not only love the culture, the lifestyle and the people, but also the opportunity to express myself in different ways. In fact, I just had a lesson with my Italian teacher this morning, which made me feel called to have a conversation with you today around this topic and what each of us can do to embrace our heartfelt desires.

In this potent episode, you’ll hear:

• My journey with learning Italian and how it inspired me to bring this episode to you [1:30]

• The way that our egos so often get in the way of what we desire and where this stems from [2:34]

• Protection versus expansion and what we tend to search from when we approach it from an ego perspective [5:05]

• My experience of majoring in French in college plus the lessons I took from this and carry with me today [8:30]

• A final reminder about creation and why we are all here [13:16]

As you listen to this episode, remember that you are a creator, you came here to create, and you came here to experience, so let’s get out there and create.

I’d love for you to share with me what it is that is calling you forward. What is that heartfelt desire that feels like creation energy for you? Are you going to commit and allow yourself to experience it? Send me a DM on Instagram, @taraannmarino, or at our new account, @elegantfemme.ef!
