Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Orisha Lampkin. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Orisha, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
My name is Orisha Re’ and my passion is sharing and empowering. I’m proud of the opportunity to bring you into the Fearless Revolution community.
I know what it’s like to feel busy and not in my body. 10 years ago, I had a wake-up call – My career was going very well, working as a GM with a day-to-day staff of over 16, overseeing massive renovations, and working with multiple vendors and contractors.
I’m sure you know the drill – long days, big meals at the desk in front of a screen, sitting. Sitting some more. Stress, long nights, and more sitting. Suddenly, (or at least it seemed that way) I gained ten dress sizes, broke an ankle, and had foot surgery. I no longer felt feminine or sexy, and I didn’t know my own body.
I found myself on top of the world when I was behind my desk and through emails, but the second I was standing in front of groups during meetings, all the confidence disappeared. I did not feel like my outside matched my inside. I knew what I could do at work and got it done, but I realized I wanted to bring that energy to my own body. I didn’t want to spend my adult life reminiscing on how good I felt in the past, physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically. I wanted that in my life now, and I want to bring that to every age I am.
So, I figured it out. I danced, I found a personal trainer (yes a trainer sometimes needs a trainer), and I returned to eating healthy. When this happened I cleared a space for mindful thinking. I became quiet inside and that rush to rush began to slow down. Not only did I see my goddess I felt it!
And through all of this, I created a space for women to tap into their own divine feminine energy while becoming strong on every level.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I teach women how to embody their femininity to become a leader, not a boss, and embrace power with, not power over. Through this, they not only can show up stronger and more effectively in the workplace but be empowered and deeply enjoy every aspect of their life – their relationships, their bodies, and day-to-day interests.
I learned that these results can’t just be from “working” on one part of yourself – a holistic approach is needed for actual transformation to take place, so we work with the body, the mind, and the soul. My unique signature program, Fearlessly Sexy, blends
Animal Flow, which includes elements of Yoga and Capoeria, improving your range of motion, and coordination and increasing your flexibility, mobility, and stability. I use my Level 1 Animal Flow certification to get you comfortable on your hands and feet as you move across the floor.
and StripXpertease – exotic, sensual dance movements and strip tease elements. I use my master StripXpertease certification to teach you low-flow floor work and standing movements. We tap into your sensuality and sexuality to bring out your divine feminine energy.
Body
There are a lot of buzzwords out there like “mindfulness” “just breathe” “slow down” and “getting into your body” – if you don’t know what those even mean, welcome. This is my specialty. You will actually feel these things in your body instead of trying to conceptualize them and getting frustrated with no results.
We will correct and heal by slowing down breathing, slowing down movements and applying corrective exercises.
Once you begin to feel your body and get to know it we can correct imbalances. Applying my Corrective Exercise Specialist certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine I help any healing & strengthening to become more impactful.
Soul
We work with mindset by getting to the roots of your why, and digging into self-awareness. Through my approach of self-inquiry, a true sense of inner trust is established. This allows more freedom and the ability to step outside the comfort zone. This is where embodied power and confidence start to unfold.
You start to establish a sense of power and magnetism that is powerful without needing to prove it but by letting your energy and actions speak for themselves
I apply my certification of Health & Wellness from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to help nourish the areas of your life that feed your soul, such as finding joy and purpose and enjoying self-care.
These are the baselines to becoming fearlessly sexy. This is where your magnetism, strength, and impact come from. This is how you will start to move through the world differently, but you need to FEEL it and not just THINK it.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
That in order to be successful and professional, we have to follow the roadmap that has been presented to us. Look at many movies about a successful businesswoman – they are usually cold, stern, and giving up all of their pleasure to be taken seriously. They work constantly and burn out all of their energy, leaving no room to enjoy life or be in their bodies. For a long time, I thought that had to be me. But I have learned through experience that the most long-lasting and deep success is through being in your body, being both soft and strong, and feeling good and confident in yourself. And that came from embracing the exact thing that we were all taught, either directly or not, to abandon.
As soon as I embraced all sides of myself, I realized it opened up a space for long lasting relationships. More trust was built, I had more resilience and more of an ability to move through difficult tasks or days, and the energy was infectious.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
In 2019 my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. At the time she was all of 65 years “young”. I started Fearless Re’volution in 2020 because I knew that I had to take my passion, make it a reality, and share it with others. I want to help as many women as I can find their own divine feminine energy and strength. This requires a healthy mind and spirit.
It would have been very easy and comfortable to stay within the corporate 9 – 5 medium so that I would have financial security. I chose to take a leap of faith!
I had to take over my mother’s estate and medical treatments all while starting a business. In doing so I’ve learned a lot about my mother and myself.
I stare at my mother sometimes and wonder if she ever really felt fearlessly sexy. I always thought she was but I don’t know that she ever really believed it. That makes me sad.
With every new business challenge and personality shift in my mother I could have easily returned to the corporate world. I don’t want to do that. I want to invest all of myself into Fearless Re’volution so that I can continue to open up a space to share and empower.
Join the Re’volution.
