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.

Hi guys, welcome back to the show. I am so freaking excited for today's episode. Okay, so you know that I have been talking all about relationships lately.

But you also know that I love business, and I'm an entrepreneur, and if you listen to the show, I know that you are super concerned with your business. You're probably also really concerned with your relationships and the connection between the two, I think, is really undeniable.

And I had a conversation with my girl Victoria Jen Rodriguez, who's with me on the show right now. Say hi, Vic.

Hey guys, so excited to be here. Love your amazing community.

Yeah, so we are here. We're tag teaming this episode. I thought it'd be really fun to bring her on.

And just tell you, well, first of all, we have a surprise announcement, which is really excited, but also really like dive into the connection between business and love, because this started probably last year.

Victoria and I were in a conversation. She talked about a panel that she was hosting called Gender Wars.

We got I was at the time reading a book. I've mentioned it on the show before called the love gap. And it was a book about the connection between men and successful women and how successful women often struggle in the love department.

And I think we can a lot of us can relate to that. And she was hosting a panel called Gender Wars. And I was like, I want to come on and talk and I want to be a part of this.

And that sparked a whole other idea that we're going to share with you today. But before we kind of get into all the nitty gritty.

Victoria, do you want to tell us a little bit about you and what you do and how you and I have connected through the year. So everyone gets to know you a little bit more.

Sure. So I am a master mindset and business coach. So essentially what that means is not only am I going to help you get your business all the way together, but we're going to get your mind right.

Because a lot of everything that we do in life requires us to have the right mindset in order for us to get the hell out of our own way.

And really tap into our badassery and our amazing magic. So Cara and I met years ago through my nonprofit, the female collaborative.

Because we would also yearly event called the woman who wore some and Cara at many of you.

You know, I would girlfriend over her on the gram. And I was like, who is this woman. I'm so gravitated towards her.

I also born and raised in New York. So we had that in common. I'm also a tourist. So we had that in common. And just I was gravitated toward her energy.

And I reached out to her to be a guest at one of our summits. And to my surprise, she said, yes. And I was like super hype. I remember telling my board that, oh my God, I got Cara.
