Episode 40: The Seastar of Business Training for Women & WINC; Myka McLaughlin
Women’s Business Coach & CoFounder/CEO of WINC
Myka McLaughlin is a really powerful business woman who has mastered communicating and leading with softness and genuine care for others. This is no easy feat in life. Myka is a business owner. Her career and her own business is helping other women with rigorous business training and a platform for building a feminine business culture. She helps women survive doing what they love to do. Myka wasn't always sure that this would be her path and it took some trust of the universe and letting go to find her calling. While studying economics she thought she would have a career in other countries working with the UN. But when her two worlds collided, everything changed and she heard a little calling from the unseen world for a more unique path. She discovered that her two worlds actually met at an intersection of purpose right here at home. The first world she loved being a part of was a Yogini and spiritual regular practice honoring sacred female space in her hometown of Boulder. The other was studying Economics and the disparity of wealth in the world. When pondering what to do, she realized that she was surrounded by incredible women hovering over the poverty line doing things they were whole heartedly fueling. In short, these women were business owners who didn't know they were business owners. And because of this, they didn't search out business skills. Myka had the answer...and it wasn't a non profit. It was a viable business that she would grow.
10 years later, she has a thriving business, with a ton of purpose, that is making a difference. She co-founded WINC and has created real impact in her community. Founded in 2011, WINC has taught 15,000 women, especially artists, healers, creatives and women fleeing corporate culture in general. Myka has worked intimately with over 500 women-owned businesses. Her mission is to transform the economic system from the inside out, with women's wisdom. The women in her program utilize WINS's unique process and make it possible to support their families doing things they love to do and have real passion around. If this career interests you OR you are a woman with a business or a business idea, THIS is your episode. Honestly, even if that is not you, it's worth listening to just to tap into some of this goddess' sacred vibes and mindsets. She is a force to be reckoned with.
