Women thrive in community with Raimonda Jankunaite

Are you ready to thrive and help create the domino effect of good in the world? A known fact is that women thrive in community. When they have the support and love they need, when they feel empowered, they create change and empower others. Being a speaker is possible. It may take overcoming fear, and nervousness may prevail, but it is possible to get on the stage and share your story. In addition, speaking on topics you are passionate about helps ease anxiety, fear, and stress around speaking. Listen to episode 206 in which Moira Ni Ghallachoir shares how to leverage public speaking for financial freedom. Raimonda emphasized how challenging it is to become an entrepreneur on your own. A key to success is building a community around you. A community of like-minded individuals. Creating a safe space because women thrive in community Raimonda saw a need that women had. They needed a safe place to share and ask questions. In addition, they needed resources. Building her community to inspire and help others began with a free event. From there, she created a membership. Women empowering women In her 20s Raimonda went through a traumatic experience and as a result, lost her voice. But gathering women in a community helped her realize that she wasn't alone. Many women go through myriad challenges and when they come together they can not only support each other but overcome. Having a safe space to share your story builds confidence and strength while inspiring others to do the same. Stories are connectors When we share our stories, it enables us to connect more freely. Robyn emphasized that any time we share our stories, we provide an opportunity to empower other people. People often don't see their journey as a story that can influence others. When we share our stories, we create a domino effect of good by helping others see the impact that telling their stories can have. Raimonda shared that stories are at the cornerstone of everything she does because sharing stories allows others to know they aren't alone. Shame and fear hold people back from sharing their stories or journeys. As a result, they stay stuck. But once a story is told and someone resonates with it, a new opportunity for inspiration, encouragement, and empowerment is brought to the surface. "It's so much more than sharing a story. Sharing a story can change lives." ~ Raimonda Read the full show notes. Learn more about and register for the Women Thrive Global Summit
