#174: How Your Story Can Become Your Superpower with Anika McKelvey | Founder of LAS Travel & Loungewear

What if your story was the key to your rediscovery and creativity? Whether that means creating or shifting a business or simply rediscovering the joy in your life...

What you experience along the way - in all of it's messy, uncomfortable and sometimes very painful moments can be where you find what will empower you next - and even someone else IF you choose to share it.

In this inspiring episode, I talk with bold entrepreneur and creator Anika McKelvey, the founder of LAS Travel & Loungewear—a brand blending style, comfort, and wellness for travelers everywhere.

Anika opens up about her deeply personal journey of rediscovery, sharing how embracing her truth and telling her real story helped her reclaim her creativity and launch a successful fashion line—while navigating life’s unexpected challenges.

We explore the power of vulnerability, the importance of giving ourselves grace through life’s ups and downs, and how leaning into our authentic stories can spark healing and growth—not just for ourselves, but for everyone around us.

Anika’s story is one of resilience, faith, and transformation—from confronting old traumas to finding her creativity again, and honoring every step of the journey.

Keep listening to discover how the glory is truly in your story.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  •  How to honor your story—including the messy, non-linear parts—as a source of strength and growth
  • The power of giving yourself grace and patience during your creative or entrepreneurial journey
  • Why “the glory is in your story,” and how sharing your authentic truth can ripple out to empower others
  • Finding ways to reconnect with and reawaken your creativity after life changes on the path to bringing your dreams to life
