102 - Shestainability with Rita Hausken

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I love bringing amazing guests onto She Sells Radio and today I am able to bring someone on who is creating amazing change in the world with her business and brand. Rita Hausken is an unshakable optimist and truly believes that nothing is impossible. In this episode, she shares her inspiring story and how her son’s rare genetic disorder changed her mindset, her drive, and her entire life.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rita is a strategist and leadership coach who has supported hundreds of women to take their seat at the table and speak confidently so their ideas and visions are heard. She comes from a male-dominated industry and through her experiences has realized that the biggest challenge wasn’t the industry, but rather the masculine culture. Rita has since left the energy industry and is the founder of Shestainability through which she coaches other women to truly go after what they want, balance their energies, and work in a healthy and meaningful way that ignites their sense of purpose.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was brought to tears while listening to Rita’s amazing story. Through her tenacity, drive, and love for her son Benjamin, Rita has created something that is not only changing lives, but saving them. Use this example today of what could happen when you don’t take no for an answer and believe in yourself.</span></p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show Notes:</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[2:11] - A background in male dominated industries can make women feel very rigid.
