The Power of Creating Your Own Table

“If you want to fix the problem, you have to be part of the solution.”-Reese Witherspoon

One of the principles of The Power Of The Only is to own your opportunity. To see that you have value and that nothing is stopping you from taking the opportunity in front of you. You don’t wait for it to come to you, thinking you can’t have it yet. But sometimes you also have to create the opportunities.

“Instead of vying for a seat at the table, you may need to create your own table.” – Angela Chee

That’s what Reece Witherspoon did in 2016 by starting her own media company, Hello Sunshine and in 2021 she sold it for $900 million dollars. In this episode, hear her story and her mission to amplify women’s stories and voices. I also share highlights from Hello Sunshine’s “Shine Away” event in Los Angeles. It was an incredible day filled with powerful, creative, and visionary women joining together for important conversations and connection.

Hear Jennifer Garner’s story about how she built her company with her mission built in. Learn about Mindy Kaling’s secret to success and how she broke through barriers in Hollywood despite growing up a chubby Indian girl from the suburbs with fearful parents and no connections. Discover the four words that changed Tracee Ellis Ross’ whole outlook on life and how Olympic champions Lindsay Vohn and Kerry Walsh Jennings break through barriers and how you can apply it to your life.

“The power of the Only is about seeing, understanding, and feeling what others don’t, leveraging this unique perspective to achieve your goals.” – Angela Chee

I also talk about ways to cultivate the power of the Only, what that power looks like in action and how to step into it. The day served as a reminder of how powerful we are and that all of us have many chapters and seasons in our lives. I hope this episode inspires you to step up and shine.

What will be the next chapter for you?
