Welcome to Style Your Minds, the podcast for women who are ready to choose themselves, burn the rulebook, and blaze their own trail in life and in business.

For women who know they are meant for more, and have waited far too long for someone to give them the permission they thought they needed.

I'm your host, Cara Allwell, bestselling author and mentor to women entrepreneurs.

If you're ready to change the world, be inspired, and the other incredible women on the same mission, you're in the right place. Let's do this.

Okay guys, before we dive into today's episode, I want to share a podcast with you that is making waves with women all over the world.

It's called The Selfish Woman, and it's a powerful and inspirational podcast by Val Jones.

Val is a master coach and thought leader who is on a mission to redefine the word selfish and prove that when women make themselves the number one priority in their lives, it catapults them into an adventure of a lifetime.

One that will leave them in awe of what they're capable of and the magic that life holds for them.

Women have been conditioned to be selfless. We're taught that selflessness is noble and it's the worthy path.

However, that has led to so many of us feeling burned out, exhausted, overwhelmed, and ultimately giving away all of our power.

It has kept women settling for less than they deserve in relationships, in career, money, and power.

Selfless means less of self, and as long as women continue to live according to this belief, they will never realize their true potential.

Selfish is not a dirty word, it means full of self. And come on, if you're not full of yourself, what do you follow?

Val birthed this podcast out of her own life experience. After decades of selflessness, she found herself in an emotionally abusive relationship.

She was miserable, confused, and wondering how she had become a shell of her former self.

She decided to embark on what she calls the selfish experiment, where she put herself first and prioritized her wants and her needs for an entire year.

What happened transformed her life on every level and proved that being selfish is the key to not only the life you've always dreamed of, but that being selfish also transforms our relationships and allows us to give to others from overflow, abundance, and joy.

Tune into the Selfish Women podcast to hear more of Val's incredible story and get the support and real life strategies on your journey to burning the rulebook, taking your power back, and designing a life that turns you the fuck on.

And guess what? Val happens to be today's guest. You guys are going to love her. I am so excited to bring her to you. So without further ado, here is my conversation with Val Jones.

All right, ladies, I am so thrilled to bring you a very special guest today. You heard me talk about her in the beginning of the show.

Val Jones, Val was my client years back. Val and I've worked together a little bit and I have watched her just continue to transform and just blow up her brand and her message and just step more and more into her power.

And I love her so much. She's one of the most inspiring women that I've ever had the chance to work with and I know that you guys are going to love her to specifically, because this is a topic that we talk about constantly.
