TLS #130 with Mica May: Living Beyond The Social Media Expectations of the Modern Women

Today on The Lively Show we are having a very real and very inspiring conversation with May Designs founder and mother of three, Mica May. Mica is sharing openly about her journey to grow her multi-million dollar customizable notebook business, become a mother of three – including a son with down syndrome, and grapple with the perceived expectations online of what “the modern woman’s” life really looks like. This chat also explores the two energies we have within ourselves, the yin and yang, or the “masculine” and “feminine” energies — and why I believe that our society has so much to gain from learning how to use both energies simultaneously and interchangeably. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to explore our “masculine” and “feminine” energies (or yin and yang energies) and become the most empowered version of ourselves, independent of gender. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT   Mica tells us how her career evolved from advertising to marketing and into graphic design work for a non-profit before beginning her own multi-million dollar business. She tells us what inspired her to create her notebook product, which was initially based on her personal needs for the perfect notebook. Mica grew her business by word of mouth and describes how being featured on a national morning news show made her business explode exponentially almost overnight. She tells us the story of how the birth of her son Jackson, who has Down Syndrome, affected her family and how raising three kids while growing a business has been one of the most challenging aspects of her life. Mica tells us about the guilt she has from the high expectations that she either put on herself or feels that the world put out there for her. She tells us about the sphere of influence and how she uses that to guide her decisions and direction of her life and business. Mica describes the liturgies of the heart and how the things you believe in at your core are reinforced by the little things you do everyday that are habits.   SHOW NOTES National Stationary Show Good Morning America Robertsonian Translocation Smart Passive Income Podcast with Pat Flynn TLS# 115: Tara Mohr episode about Playing Big Playing Big TLS #121: Alisa Vitti about embodying pleasureAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsJoin us in Welling, an online social club of 222+ inspired souls growing, sharing, and creating more beautiful lives everyday.
