Lead With Your Light Rasheda Williams on...

Kanika Energy Coach
About this episode

Award-winning speaker Rasheda Williams shares how to lead with purpose, own your story, and shine without burnout. Visibility starts with truth and service.


What if visibility wasn’t about performance but about purpose?


In this honest and powerful episode, I sit down with Rasheda Williams — award-winning speaker, author, and founder of Empowered Flower Girl — to explore what it means to lead with light, own your story, and shine without burning out.


We talk about growing up in instability, starting her business after grief, navigating entrepreneurship as an introvert, and why visibility is about service — not ego. She also shares how she went from undercharging in year one to building a thriving speaking and consulting business and why your founder story could change someone’s life.


👉 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

Why your story matters (and how to share it now — not just in your obituary)


How Rasheda built 15 years of mission-led business rooted in impact and service


Why storytelling is visibility, and visibility is viability


How to stop shrinking and start charging for your energy and value


What to do if you’re introverted but still feel called to be seen


How to use LinkedIn to grow your voice and visibility



👉 WHO THIS IS FOR

You’ve struggled with charging, visibility, or sharing your story


You want to grow without chasing trends or burning out


You believe in collaboration over competition


You’re a lightworker or creative leader ready to show up more boldly
