Ellen Dee Davidson: What does it, what does being an influential woman mean to you? Hmm. I think we're all influential women. We all influence other people. And so it's more a question of sphere of influence. And even then, sphere does not determine potency, for example. A loving mother might have a small sphere of influence, but with that child it's so profound, and the way that ripples out into the greater world could have a huge impact. And then there's the sphere of influence where we become more visible in the wider world to a larger population. And I think. That often organically happens when we stay true to our authentic nature. And allow our genuine gifts to arise up from our core hearts. And then There's a way they can ripple out and our influence expands, and that way is so organic. There's not a lot of pressure to it. There's not that exhausting burnout, outward striving where we're always trying to get somewhere else because we never are. It's such an outgrowth from the center. That what happens is. The whole process is full of that vital life force energy, the juice. And so We're in joy, refreshed as we go, and that's what we're rippling out into the world as well, because our gifts are never just our gifts, they come with a spirit, a frequency, a vibration, an energy. I mean, call it what you will, but What we're putting out is multidimensional. It's our energy, it's our spirits, our souls, our creative hearts, our loving, empathetic, compassionate hearts, our insightful minds, and they're full of ideas and visions too. And um the more embodied we get, The more relevant because then we're in our point of power because our bodies pick up trillions of bits of information compared to anything that makes it to our conscious awareness. So when we're operating from that intelligence, then our influence is in harmony with all of nature.

Ellen Dee Davidson: The piece of advice that I would give to younger women chasing their dreams is to know what your deepest, most heartfelt dreams are. There's so many distractions, and there's so many reasons to go this way and that way. And a lot of young women are so good at so many things. There's a lot of different options that can be pursued. So it's important. If Women are not going to be buffeted about from external forces. Um, any more than is inevitable. Sometimes it's inevitable, but. If that's to be avoided. Then that solid core of inner knowing. Who are you? Why are you here? What makes you feel relaxed, contented, centered, grounded, and in purpose? The answers to those questions are going to be different for each person. And A way to get to know your true hearts, wishes and dreams better. Is to spend some time alone, quiet. I highly recommend in nature, if you're lucky enough to have access. Or at least with a beloved pet or a plant, but not talking just Allowing yourself to be and really let go of the false dreams, witness them, let them go by and find what may have been gleaned if those paths have been pursued. But yeah, I guess that's my advice. I just dig deeper into your own heart and soul.
