Ignite with Jess Soto-Ramirez

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with the incredible Syrian female founder, caterer, and storyteller, Racha Abou Alshamat, to unpack the real story behind building a small business from the ground up while navigating migration, motherhood, identity, and resilience.From growing up surrounded by family, food, and culture in Syria and Saudi Arabia, to starting over in Australia with two young children and no support network — Racha shares the emotional reality of what it means to rebuild your life while holding onto your roots.We dive into:Building a women-led small business from passion, not perfectionThe mindset shifts that helped her keep saying yes before she felt readyWhat it’s really like being a migrant mum in business in AustraliaWhy authenticity matters more than fitting in as a female entrepreneurThe power of culture, storytelling, community, and resilienceHow one school fundraiser turned into a thriving catering business and cooking experienceThis conversation is raw, honest, emotional, and incredibly inspiring for women in business, female founders, migrant women, creatives, and mums building something meaningful from scratch.If you’ve ever questioned yourself, felt out of place, or wondered if you’re capable of creating something bigger — this episode is your reminder to keep going.Because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs begin with one brave “yes.” More About Racha:Racha Abou-Alchamat is the heart and soul behind Racha’s Syrian Kitchen, a catering business and cooking school celebrating the rich culinary traditions of Syria. Born in Damascus and raised across Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, Racha spent several years in Dubai before moving to Australia in 2014 with her husband and children, carrying not just suitcases but memories, traditions, and a deep love for food that runs through her family. From her father, a chef and restaurateur, and her mother, an extraordinary cook, Racha learned that food is never just food; it is love, family, and the way we share our stories.Through her catering, public cooking demonstrations, and immersive classes, Racha brings the flavours of home to the table — dishes layered with history, memory, and identity. Her work goes beyond feeding people; it is about connection. She uses food as a bridge to foster understanding, belonging, and cultural exchange, blending her heritage with an entrepreneurial spirit to create a platform where food becomes not only nourishment but also storytelling, education, and advocacy. With every dish she prepares, Racha proudly shares her culture, turning cooking into an act of resilience, generosity, and meaningful connection.Connect with Racha:https://www.facebook.com/rachakitchen/https://www.instagram.com/racha_syrian_kitchen/https://www.linkedin.com/in/racha-syrian-kitchen-35a8a3250/https://www.rachasyriankitchen.com.au/www.youtube.com/@RachaSyrianKitchenCONNECT WITH JESS:DM me - ⁠www.instagram.com/jesssotoramirez⁠ Let's work together - book a call:https://calendar.app.google/zD3YqMus6HWM9BWY9 Review the Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ignite-with-jess-soto-ramirez/id1650700891⁠

At the start of the Lunar New Year 2026, there was so much hype… “big energy,” “year of the horse,” this promise that everything would just fall into place. But let’s be real, it doesn’t work like that!In this episode, I’m calling out the trap of relying on external timelines, astrology, or “perfect timing” to change your life or business. Because no new year is going to shift things if you don’t.If you’re sitting here in May feeling stuck, in the same patterns, same doubts, same cycles… you’re not alone, and more importantly - ther's a reason.Let's chat about:* Why you’re not moving forward (even when you want to)* The subconscious patterns keeping you playing small* How self-trust becomes your most powerful strategy* And the truth about doing the internal work before the external breakthroughsSuccess is built in your daily decisions.And if you’re in a slower season? It might not be stagnation… it might be preparation.I’ll also challenge you to take bold, uncomfortable action - whether that’s sharing your voice, raising your prices, or finally hitting record.If you’re done going in circles and ready to shift for real — my DMs are open.

Life has been full on! Family, birthdays, work, camping adventures, school holidays… and instead of waiting for perfect, I hit record anyway. Because this is your reminder: your business should fit your life, not the other way around.In this episode, I’m calling out two underrated game changers:* Celebrating your wins (yes, even the small ones)* Acknowledging your steps (because they matter more than you think)I share a powerful personal reflection — sitting by the river, realising I’m living a life younger me once dreamed of… and how easy it is to miss that when you’re stuck in “it’s not enough” energy.We’re breaking the “yeah but…” mindset, the hamster wheel, the constant chasing without ever feeling like you’ve arrived.Because truth?You’re probably further than you think.You’re just not giving yourself credit.This episode will shift how you see yourself, your progress and your business.Your next level doesn’t come from seeing differently.LET'S CONNECT:Grab the freebie - coaching.jesssotoramirez.com/freebieDM me - ⁠www.instagram.com/jesssotoramirez⁠ Let's work together - DM me or book a call:https://calendar.app.google/zD3YqMus6HWM9BWY9 www.jesssotoramirez.com Review the Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ignite-with-jess-soto-ramirez/id1650700891⁠

This episode came straight off the back of a client session... and it hit.We’re talking about the high achiever mindset and the pressure we put on ourselves to be great at everything before we even begin. And babe… that belief? It’s keeping you stuck.I’m calling out the pattern:“If I’m not good at it, I won’t do it.”Yeah… that one.In this episode, I break down:What being a high achiever actually means (your version, not the world’s)How this limiting belief is quietly holding you back in businessWhy you need to get comfortable being a beginnerThe real reason you’re avoiding certain things (fear, judgment, failure 👀)And how to start taking action before you feel readyBecause truth?You don’t get great then start…You start, and that’s how you become great.If you’ve been holding yourself back, waiting to feel “ready” or “good enough”... this is your wake up call.Your next level isn’t in perfection.

We talk a lot about “getting out of your comfort zone”… but no one really talks about what it actually feels like when you do.In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a real stretch moment in my life... speaking on stage at a gala event for I'm Every Woman... and sharing the raw, unfiltered truth. The nerves, the self-doubt, the body tension, the tears in the car park… all of it.Because here’s the truth:Feeling scared doesn’t mean you’re not ready. It means you’re growing.I open up about:What stretching beyond your comfort zone really looks and feels likeHow fear, nerves, and negative self-talk show up (and why that’s normal)The importance of self-awareness and listening to your bodyChoosing courage before confidenceWhy waiting to feel “ready” is keeping you stuckIf you’ve been holding yourself back, questioning your worth, or waiting for the perfect moment… this is your reminder:You don’t need to feel ready.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into self-belief in business! Not the surface level “just believe in yourself” talk, but the subconscious patterns that either fuel your growth or keep you stuck.Self belief is the difference between dreaming and doing. Even Bad Bunny reminded us of the importance of believing in yourself and to never stop at his Half time Superbowl Show! If you’re a female entrepreneur struggling with self doubt, overthinking, visibility fears, or feeling like you’re the bottleneck in your own business... this episode is for you.Inside this episode:Why lack of self belief is the root of playing smallHow subconscious limiting beliefs keep you on autopilotThe 5 practical steps I teach my clients to build real confidenceHow to rewire your mindset for business growthWhy celebration is a powerful tool for subconscious reprogrammingIf you want different results in your business, you need different internal patterns.This is about rewiring self doubt, building confidence, and taking aligned action... one intentional step at a time.You are more capable than you think.

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Maureen Lemalu. Wife, mother of three, and the heart behind I'm Every Woman, to unpack the journey that changed everything.After the birth of her eldest son Caleb, who was born with complex medical needs, Maureen's world shifted overnight. What followed were years of hospital stays, impossible decisions, silent grief, and losing herself in the fight to keep her child alive.But this isn’t just a story about hardship.It’s about identity.It’s about resilience, and rediscovering your spark.From crying every Sunday night before her husband returned to work… to founding a charity that now delivers 50 care bags a month to families in special care - Maureen turned pain into purpose.We talk about:Motherhood in survival modeNavigating epilepsy and life-threatening seizuresThe quiet strength of her husband, VinceRaising compassionate siblingsGrief, faith, and rebuilding identityHow one International Women’s Day dinner sparked a six year movementThis conversation is raw.

If you’ve been doing the work, building the thing, showing up consistently…but still hesitating to fully own your voice, your title, or your authority, this episode is for you.In this episode I’m calling out one of the biggest blocks I see in women in business when it comes to owning your voice and your authority: waiting for permission.Permission to be confident.Permission to be seen as the expert.Permission to take up space.Authority isn’t about being louder, more polished, or more “strategic”, it’s about ownership. Ownership of who you are, what you know, and the woman you’re becoming.We talk identity.We talk imposter syndrome.We talk the quiet self-doubt that shows up even when you’re doing everything “right”.And I’ll walk you through simple reflection prompts to help you start showing up differently - not "one day", but now.Why authority has nothing to do with ego or dominanceHow waiting for external validation keeps you stuckThe identity shifts required to grow your businessWhy imposter syndrome is often a sign you’re expandingHow old beliefs quietly cap your confidenceWhat it actually means to own your titleHow to start positioning yourself as the go-to... without forcing itHere are your journal prompts to sit with & be real...What would help me feel more like the [insert title] I envision myself to be?What makes me feel like I'm not that version of myself? Be specificWhat evidence do I have to prove otherwise?

Amiga, today we’re diving into a big, juicy, uncomfortable but necessary question: Are you actually choosing yourself?In this episode, I’m unpacking what it really looks like when we don’t choose ourselves... in our inner dialogue, our relationships, our business, our decisions, and all the tiny everyday moments where we shrink, stay quiet, or slip back into old versions of us.I share the stories, the triggers, the patterns, and the sneaky ways we abandon ourselves without even realising it… and the powerful shift that happens when we start backing the woman we’re becoming instead of the woman we’ve been.We talk:✨ choosing yourself vs choosing comfort✨ the inner wise woman and why she whispers✨ people-pleasing, silence, shrinking and self-doubt✨ evolving into the next version of you✨ making decisions from self-worth, not fear✨ the business upgrade that happens when you finally say “I choose me”If you’re ready to stop second guessing and start showing up with grounded, rock solid self belief; this one’s for you.And if this hits home?

Queeeeen! Today’s episode is all about that sticky, sweaty, heart thumping space outside your comfort zone. You know the one where your brain screams “get TF outta here!” even though your soul is whispering “go girl!”In this episode, I’m sharing my real and raw experience of walking into a room full of strangers, battling resistance, and doing it anyway. Because here’s the truth, confidence isn’t built in comfort. It’s built in the stretch, in the moments we show up despite the fear, self doubt, or stories we tell ourselves.Here's what you'll take with you:Why your body and mind resist change (and how to move through it)How to recognise your self sabotage patterns before they trip you upThe mindset shift that turns “I can’t” into “watch me”Practical ways to calm your nervous system when fear kicks inHow to strengthen your Girl on Fire mindset — the one that says, “F*** yes, I can and I will.”Growth doesn’t come from staying safe, it comes from showing up when it feels hard. The resistance isn’t a sign to stop; it’s proof that you’re stepping into something new.I want to know... what’s one thing you’re doing this week to stretch out of your comfort zone?

I sat down with the incredibleHayleigh Watson from Hali Helper to talk about identity, healing, and what it really means to rewrite your story.Hayleigh grew up in the foster care system from birth to 18, carrying abandonment wounds, fear of being seen, and a constant need to “be good” just to feel safe. These childhood experiences didn’t just shape her; they followed her into adulthood, relationships, and even into business ownership.But here’s the powerful part, Hayleigh didn’t let her past define her. She’s built a life and a business rooted in helping women rise, not from a place of perfection, but from deep resilience, honesty, and heart.In this conversation we go deep on:- Growing up in foster care and what most people don’t see- The invisible weight of abandonment wounds and fear of being seen- How childhood patterns sneak into business, relationships, and self-worth- Reclaiming identity after shrinking to fit into someone else’s box- Building a business legacy rooted in helping women do the work that lights them up- Learning to rest, set boundaries, and become your own safe placeThis episode is about choosing freedom, creating your own identity, and finding strength in the softness of who you are.Share it with one person today!CONNECT WITH HAYLEIGH:Hayleigh is a passionate entrepreneur and community builder, dedicated to empowering female founders.

You’ve probably heard affirmations and imposter syndrome described as complete opposites, right? One builds you up, the other tears you down. But what if I told you that the way you’re using affirmations might actually be fuelling your imposter syndrome instead of helping you rise above it?In this episode, I get real about:✨ Why “fluffy” affirmations often fall flat (and sometimes make us feel worse)✨ How your mean girl voice interrupts those affirmations the second you say them✨ The sneaky link between generic affirmations and feeling like a fraud✨ Why worthiness and imposter syndrome are so deeply connected✨ The process I use to create affirmations that actually transform, rather than triggerI’ll walk you through how to move from empty words to affirmations that land on a soul level—ones that not only feel true but empower you to finally launch that course, pitch that podcast, press ‘go live,’ or say yes to the opportunities you’ve been holding back from.And because I know how powerful this practice can be, I’ve created a free playbook called Rewire & Rise - your guide to rewriting affirmations that connect with your truth, rewire your subconscious, and help you rise into the next version of yourself.👉 Grab it here: www.coaching.jesssotoramirez.com/freebie👉 If this episode hits home, share it with your bestie (and don’t forget to leave a review!
