How to Train Your Mind to Create Luck with Kyyah Abdul
3d ago01:04:40Summary readyIn this week’s installment of the Betting on Yourself series, I’m sitting down with Kyyah Abdul to talk about what it actually means to create your own luck — not in theory, but in practice.We get into the mindset behind “lucky” people, and how to increase your odds of luck through how you think, how you decide, and how willing you are to move forward even when you don’t have all the answers.Kyyah brings such a powerful perspective to this conversation. From her background in neuroscience to her lived experiences with loss at a young age, she breaks down how resilience, decisiveness, and self-trust are all things that can be built — not traits you’re just born with.We talk about decision-making as a muscle, why so many of us are stuck in analysis paralysis, and how social media has made us way too concerned with optics.We also talk about boundaries (and why most people misunderstand them), the pressure of being perceived, and how to stop treating your life like a group project.This conversation is a reminder that luck isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you build, decision by decision.This episode is for you if…You keep overthinking your next move and feel stuck waiting for clarityYou want to be more confident but don’t trust your own decisions yetYou’re navigating a transition (career, identity, relationships) and feel uncertainYou struggle with boundaries — especially with family, friends, or people you loveYou feel held back by fear of judgmentYou’re trying to “do the right thing” instead of doing what actually feels alignedYou know you’re capable of more, but something is keeping you playing smallEpisode Links:Follow Kyyah on Instagram: instagram.com/kyyahabdulFollow Kyyah on TikTok: tiktok.com/kyyahabdulRead The Prepared Graduate, a non-fiction career guide written by Kyyah wherever you get your booksTo learn even more, visit Kyyah’s website: www.thekyyahabdul.comSponsors:Cotton: Learn more at TheFabricOfOurLives.com, and follow along at @discovercotton using #ShopCotton.Monarch Money: Use code LUCKY at monarch.com to get your first year half off at just $50.Nutrafol: For a limited time, Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and enter promo code BALANCEDLESKeep in Touch with Les:Ready to apply what you hear?

SummaryIt’s Time to Bet On Yourself
1w ago00:52:22Summary ready#345: In this solo episode, I’m kicking off a brand new series for the month of May all about betting on yourself—what it actually means, how to do it, and why it’s the foundation of creating your own luck.This episode is also deeply personal.It’s been a full year since the show rebranded to She’s So Lucky, and I almost let that anniversary pass without really sitting with it. But when I finally did, it forced me to reflect, not just on how far the show has come, but on how much I’ve changed.What I realized is this: everything we talk about here—luck, success, opportunity, being that girl only works if you’re actually willing to bet on yourself first.And not in a surface-level, motivational-quote way. I’m talking about:Making decisions that don’t make sense to other people. Letting go of identities that no longer fit. Taking risks before you feel fully ready. And continuing to show up, even when the outcome isn’t guaranteedThis episode is about stepping into the version of yourself who plays to win, instead of waiting for permission, validation, or a better hand.This episode is for you if…You feel like you’ve outgrown a version of your life, career, or identity but don’t fully know what’s nextYou’ve been waiting for validation, clarity, or the “perfect moment” to make a moveYou’re tired of comparing your path to other people’s timelines or opportunitiesYou know you’re capable of more, but you’re not fully acting on it yetYou’re navigating a pivot and need permission to trust your own vision.You want to start taking yourself seriously and making moves accordinglyKeep in Touch with Les:Ready to apply what you hear?

SummaryHow to Invest Your Way to a Luckier Life
Apr 700:49:22Summary ready#341: This month on She's So Lucky, we're kicking off Lucky Girls Invest — a full month of conversations dedicated to investing in our luck, and our futures.April is Financial Literacy Month, and I wanted to kick off the series with a candid conversation about investing that I genuinely wish someone had with me when I was younger.In this solo episode, I'm sharing my personal investing origin story — from growing up with a scarce mentality to accidentally opening a 401k at 20 years old as a college intern because someone said the words "employer match" and "free money." That one decision, that I barely even understood at the time, has been compounding for over 15 years and could potentially fund my retirement on its own.I'm also getting into the moment that changed how I think about money, power, and who gets to make the decisions — because there is a fundamental difference between being someone who's always chasing a deal and being someone who gets to write the check. That shift in perspective is why I'm so passionate about this series, why I made my first angel investment, and why I want more of us in these rooms.We're spending all of April talking about the different ways you can invest through conversations that will help redefine what generational wealth means to you. But first, I wanted to set the stage and give you the "why" behind all of it. Because investing isn't just a financial strategy. It's an act of hope. And right now, hope feels like a radical thing.This episode is for you if...You grew up without a lot of financial education and feel like you're playing catch-up.You've been told that a good job is enough — and you're starting to wonder if that's actually true.You don't have a ton of money right now, but you want to understand investing before you do.You feel like certain opportunities — angel investing, venture capital, real estate — are for "other people" and not for you.You've been in rooms where other people were making the big decisions, and you're ready to be the one calling the shots.You want to understand the difference between investing in yourself and investing your money — and why you need both.You're ready to stop begging for someone to give you a shot and start thinking about how to be the one who gives shots.You believe in a future worth building toward — even when it's hard to see right now.Keep in Touch with Les:Ready to apply what you hear?

SummaryStop Taking Yourself Off the Pedestal ft. Essence Iman of Slutty Founder
Mar 3100:57:54Summary ready#339: All month long on The Business of You series, we’ve been talking about building, but what happens when you feel the pull to walk away? That’s what we’re covering in our final installment with Essence Iman, ex-founder, writer, and the voice behind Slutty Founder, one of the most honest and entertaining spaces on the internet for real talk about business.Essence built an award-winning, cult-favorite body care brand from just $200. She gained industry recognition, built a real community around it, and then did something most people couldn't wrap their heads around: she walked away, happily and on purpose.In this conversation, we get into what it really means to trust yourself enough to close a chapter — and why that decision doesn't have to come with a catastrophe attached to it. We talk about the founder mentality and what all of us, business owners or not, can learn from it. Essence breaks down why you should never take yourself off the pedestal, what it means to tell your story like you know how you got there, and why "you know what you’re doing" might be the most underrated piece of advice.We also get into the beauty industry — why it's become so crowded, why it continues to be such a difficult place to build, and where Essence thinks the real opportunities are for women ready to build something different.This episode is for you if:You're questioning whether it's time to walk away from something — a job, a business, a chapter.You struggle with imposter syndrome or have a hard time owning your wins out loud.You've been thinking about starting a business but feel locked into the idea that it has to look a certain way.You want to understand what a portfolio career actually looks like in practice.You need someone to remind you that your success is not an accident.You're building something and want the kind of real, unfiltered founder perspective you're not going to find in a business book.Episode Links:Learn more about Essence & Slutty Founder, go to sluttyfounder.comFollow Essence on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/essenceiman/Follow Essence on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@essenceiman?lang=enSubscribe to Slutty Founder on Substack: https://www.sluttyfounder.com/Sponsors:Free People Movement: Visit fpmovement.com to shop their full line of activewear.Rula: Rula makes it easier to find licensed therapists and psychiatrists who are actually in-network with your insurance.
