We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Anastasia Barrett . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Anastasia below.
Anastasia , appreciate you joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
Hello my name is Anastasia Barrett and I am an empowerment coach. I started in 2017 with an organization called “ WOMEN WITH AMBITION” a space for women to learn, connect and grow as entrepreneurs. A year later I went through something very traumatic, feeling defeated & powerless. It was at that moment God revealed to me there was women who was going through similar circumstances that needed a support system. He wanted me to create a platform where I can support and encourage women on their personal journeys. Women in need of encouragement, support, and reassurance; reminding them that they are not alone and that it’s ok to walk in who you truly are barring no circumstance.
So I launched SHE’s UNAPOLOGETIC in 2018 in the midst of my storm and I didn’t understand how I could do this being I was still healing myself. But as time went on I understood why God chose me for this particular assignment and that the storm was my equipping season, he was equipping me to help the women he would send to my organization. At SHE’S UNAPOLOGETIC we believe Showing up as yourself for yourself is the greatest accomplishment you will ever accomplish in life . Our mission is to change the narrative and create an atmosphere where women can genuinely feel supported and encouraged. Each woman should understand their importance and should have the courage to build in their efforts for their own progress. I am only a vessel and I thank God for giving me the the vision to do this .

I also partnered with YouTube, my channel is “Anastasia Barrett” I share lifestyle content and my goal for my channel is to remind my supporters the importance of finding balance in life and how doing so bring a sense of fulfillment and meaning.
I believe that God planted individual assignments over our lives and once we tap into those assignments we begin to flourish in a way that was ordained by him and cannot be stopped.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
Growing up, I’ve always had a passion for fashion it was always an opportunity for me to step out and put my mark on the world. In 2017, I also started a boutique to bring unique fashions to women. After God revealed my purpose was to empower women I parted ways with my boutique and stepped fully into empowerment coaching.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I believe the key to building your audience is being authentic and true to who you are. Just be yourself so that you can build an organic community with people who genuinely connect with you.
