  • This episode of THIS. with Shauna Griffiths, brings you the incredible Amira Alvarez, Founder and CEO of The Unstoppable Woman, whose work is focused on helping women have it all! Tune in to hear about what she is doing to contribute to the financial success of women, and how she inspires them to manifest their fullest and most fulfilling lives.

    Amira is a visionary leader, celebrated entrepreneur, and a passionate advocate for empowered living. After achieving a fivefold increase in her income in one year and building a multimillion-dollar company, she was led to contemplate the intricate balance between hyper-achievement and genuine fulfillment.

    Refusing to sacrifice her drive for success, Amira realized that pursuing larger goals 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 left her unfulfilled. She, therefore, developed a methodology to craft an exquisite life that harmonizes ambition with profound contentment, enabling individuals to embrace their inner drive while finding space for deep and meaningful fulfillment.

    Her path has become a beacon for high-achieving women seeking to forge a life rich in truth, beauty, and intimacy–one in which you actualize your innermost dreams without diminishing any of your hard-won successes.

    She believes women have been told they can be anything they want to be, but simultaneously warned that they can't have it all. Amira is here to debunk that notion and is on the leading edge of a movement that redefines what’s possible for women.

  • Welcome to the second Business Athlete episode of the show - designed to fuel the pursuit of optimal performance of women in the workplace and beyond. It simply makes no sense to expect women to thrive in environments built by men for men and our guest, Jennifer Wagner - CEO and Founder of PROSPER, is bravely leading the way to change that.

    Jen is a remarkable human uniquely qualified for this feat. She spent the last 20+ years of her life in the human performance and medical space. She moved from being her own high performer as a D1 soccer athlete to working with the best in the world at Stanford Medical School as a Resident and Faculty to bettering lives as an Operating Room Doctor to catalyzing elite performers to reimagine what is possible as the Chief Medical Officer and Director of Operations at Liminal Collective Human Performance. All of these experiences culminated in her uncovering my true purpose- helping women succeed, lead, and flourish. With those goals in mind, she and a powerful team founded PROSPER - a company devoted to women's wholistic performance.
