Creating a personal brand on LinkedIn has led me to meeting some amazing people and invitations to speak on various stages at organizations like and events like the upcoming Level Up Summit.

The Pretty Damn Ambitious™ 2024 Level Up Summit is a transformative two-day virtual conference designed for ambitious female entrepreneurs who are ready to shatter the six-figure ceiling and build lasting wealth.

I’m thrilled to have be invited to speak at this value aligned event led by the incredible !

I’ll be sharing the stage on Day 2, Thursday, March 21st, for the Ambition + Wealth panel. Our mission? Unveiling Strategies for Building Wealth for Women of Color. I’m eager to share actionable insights to help you skillfully manage and grow your wealth, all while navigating the unique challenges we face as women of color.

Let’s face it, in today’s world, hitting six-figures in business is just the beginning, not the ultimate destination.

But how do you transition from being a budding entrepreneur or a business on the brink of closure to a thriving enterprise with an abundance of funds, freedom, and impact?

It’s undeniable that women of color face a unique set of systemic challenges when it comes to wealth creation. But there’s a path to financial liberation, and it’s time we tread it together.

Ready to ignite your growth and level up your wealth game? Head to my bio to register for the Level Up Summit today.

Let’s redefine wealth, together.

None of us run successful businesses alone.

When I first started CONSCIOUSXCHANGE, all I wanted was to find more entrepreneurs who looked like me.

I often found myself in overwhelming white spaces and was often the only person of color, the only daughter of immigrants, the only equity focused coach and consultant in the room… and frankly, after too many conversations explaining what Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is, being the only in these spaces annoyed the s**t out of me.

I deeply wanted to be surrounded by other entrepreneurs of color, as my mentors and coaches, my collaborators and friends, my teammate and colleagues. I wanted to be around people who shared similar values and experiences and missions working towards equity and abundance in a racialized and toxic capitalisitic world.

So in true Carissa fashion, when you don’t find what you’re looking for, you build it yourself.

And that’s what we’re doing here at CONSCIOUSXCHANGE, starting with our team.

I want you to meet the extraordinary individuals who contribute their unique skills, passion, and energy to help BIPOC entrepreneurs thrive in business and life.

Latrice Prater, Kat Yalung, Jessica Velasco, David Ho, Blessing Santoro, Crystal Pope, Su Jane Lim, and Irene Jane thank you for all that you do!

It’s been a wild ride to find the right people who just get it and who are on board not just with helping me build a company but who personally care about the mission and movement we are building towards time, location, financial, and occupational freedom for communities of color.

Bigger things can happen when you do it together and big things are coming…

And now that the team is assembled… it’s your turn!

Drop in the comments, what’s one challenge you’re facing in your entrepreneurial journey that our team could help you with?

You can do all the marketing in the world and STILL not make any money.

Many BIPOC entrepreneurs are exceptional at what they do. They’ve honed their craft for years. But there’s a crucial missing piece that tends to keep them stuck: the skill of selling their brilliance.

And that’s where Conscious Selling comes in.
This 12 week intensive co-hosted with my business bestie, David will help you:

🧠 Shift your mindset from hating to loving sales
💰 Increase your income by $50k (yes, you read that right!)
⏰ Get back the time freedom you’re craving

So, why did I bring Dave into the mix? Well, apart from being my best friend since college (yay for working with friends!), he’s a sales maestro with 30 years of experience. Dave helped me refine my own sales approach, all while steering clear of sleazy tactics. Because in this new business world we’re forming, we want ethical sales that prioritize people.

Our shared mission? It’s not just about sales; it’s about creating movements led by pioneers like you 🌍

We’re smashing systemic barriers, fostering thriving communities, and leaving a mark of social impact. This program isn’t just a sales course; it’s a journey to empower you to build something extraordinary.

The hard sell is out. Making meaningful connections is in.

Imagine if…

❌ Instead of having a mindset of “Ugh, sales”,
✅ You genuinely love sales and eagerly anticipate your discovery calls with joy and confidence

❌ Instead of anxiously waiting and wondering when your next sales opportunity will come along,
✅ You have inquiries coming in regularly, whether as DMs or discovery calls

❌ Instead of worrying about unpredictable income spikes and dips wreaking financial havoc,
✅ You no longer stress about inconsistent income because you have a predictable and reliable sales pipeline

Ready for selling to become fun, easy, and comfortable for you and your dream clients in 2024? Join us for Conscious Selling before the doors close this Friday, December 22. https://www.consciousxchange.com/sales-challenge

Before I embraced a connection-centered approach, my reliance on rigid sales scripts held me back.

I was so fixated on following my script that I often overlooked the genuine needs of those I wished to serve.

As a result, my business suffered, and despite my years of corporate experience + accomplishments fears of not being good enough started to creep in.

Now, my sales process is shaped by the authentic rapport I cultivate similar to how I approach my coaching practice.

This shift has been transformative. Armed with a deep understanding of my offer and key points at my fingertips, I engage in free-flowing, attentive conversations.

I’ve incorporated more discovery questions, strategically guided our dialogues based on their responses, and ensure that my solutions address real problems rather than promoting one-size-fits-all solutions.

The result? My closure rates AND impact have soared!

If you’re ready to move from scripted and sporadic success to consistent sales driven by meaningful connections, don’t miss the replays of the Closing With Connection Challenge.

They’ll only be available for a limited time with a special bonus for those who register for them by today 12/17.

You probably didn’t know this but being confident in sales isn’t an all-or-nothing situation.

The confidence you’re seeking actually breaks down into six key areas. One crucial aspect is having confidence in articulating your offer.

It’s not that you lack the know-how or that your offer isn’t stellar and amazing; it could be as simple as not knowing how to express it effectively. The ability to clearly convey what you bring to the table and how you transform lives through your services is pivotal.

Sometimes, we build up sales as this big, scary thing. But when we break it down, we might discover that we’re pretty darn good at some aspects, and there’s just a handful of areas that could use some focus and improvement.

Explore the other five areas where you can boost your confidence in sales in The Closing With Connection challenge – it’s still going on till Friday, AND you can catch the replays. It’s your time to become unbelievably confident in sales! Details in my bio 😁

So, what am I supposed to say? 😳
Ugh, am I being too pushy? 😬
Wait, what do I do next? 😫

Ever found yourself pondering these thoughts or second-guessing yourself when it comes to sales? Trust me, you’re not alone.

And guess what? It’s not a sign that you’re not cut out for sales; it’s a clear indication that you’re seeking a more authentic approach. One that steers clear of those sleazy bro tactics.

You’re ready to leap; you just need the right guidance to sell your offers authentically, in a way that aligns with your true mission. Ready to learn how?

Join us tomorrow for Closing With Connection, a 4-Day Sales Challenge crafted to help you master the art of closing high-ticket offers with ease AND ethics 💛

I can’t wait to see you there! Join us here: https://www.consciousxchange.com/sales-challenge

More Money! More Impact! Yes, you can have both!

You simply can’t make the difference you want in the world, through your business, unless you can sell like a boss.

Yet I see so many BIPOC business owners shy away from sales due to fear, guilt, and uncertainty. Selling your service doesn’t have to be out of alignment with your mission, AND you don’t have to be forceful or pushy…

You can learn how to be really good at closing sales while keeping your values, ethics, and heart intact—and I’m excited to show you how!

Join me and my go to sales coach, David Ho, for Closing With Connection!

In this 4-day sales challenge designed for BIPOC entrepreneurs, you'll learn how to shift your mindset, create your elevator pitch, understand the sales funnel, and start your sales strategy.

Join us starting Tuesday, December 12th! https://www.consciousxchange.com/sales-challenge

Recently, I embraced a new adventure—rappelling 🧗🏽‍♀️

Picture this: standing at the cliff's edge, intentionally stepping into the unknown. It's a lot like sales, isn't it?

The fear of sales can be daunting. We'll create and share social media posts, wondering why it's crickets, all while avoiding the crucial outreach. Just as I initially stood on that mountain's edge, hesitating, people hesitate with sales.

But here's the thing, just as in rock climbing, sales require trust. I had a guide, meticulously setting everything up. I listened, and what seemed scary turned out to be incredibly exhilarating. As I descended down that cliff, I realized it wasn't that bad—actually, it was quite fun.

Yet, it all starts with a purposeful goal. My aim is to conquer canyoneering and rappel down canyons as high as 200 feet. But I have to start with the 60 and 80-footers, practicing to achieve the bigger goals.

Sales, like rock climbing, can be intimidating at first. But with a goal to make a difference in the world, stepping into the scary unknown becomes essential. It's about taking those leaps, facing the fears, and realizing that the journey, though challenging, is incredibly rewarding.

Ready to conquer your sales fears and embark on a journey of connection? Join me in the Closing With Connection Challenge, happening December 12th to 15th at 8PM EST/ 5PM PST. Let's master the art of selling with ease AND ethics 💛 Head to my bio for details to join us.
