Attention to Intention

You know that endless hustle to achieve the next thing—the one that feels like a drug, always chasing the next high?

It's consuming. It can be crippling. There’s resentment and an exhausting chase that exists.

And yet, we don’t talk about it enough, do we?

Well, today that changes. My incredible friend and true gift to this world, Dr. Erin Halligan Avery, joins me for a raw, vulnerable #kitchentable conversation. Together, we unpack this relentless chase and why it never feels like enough—through story-sharing and deep reflection.

Share this episode with the women in your life. It made me feel seen in ways I didn’t know I needed, and I hope it does the same for the women in your orbit.

As I heard this gift of a human Raj Sisodia at the World Happiness Summit talk about heart & purpose in the business world: I was salivating & hearing content that made me think about a business in a way I never was taught & now I am gifting that man to you.

May you have the same salivation moments & that you bring these nuggets into the rooms you're in because when you consciously find & follow your purpose, the ripple impact to each human in your life is more powerful than you know & I've seen this first hand.

Raj Sisodia says his purpose is to bring heart, courage, soul & awakening to business & leadership so we can build a better world for all. He's a globally acclaimed thought leader, co-founder of the Conscious Capitalism movement, prolific author & dubbed the intellectual shaman. 

He awakens & transforms the consciousness of those in business to curate healing organizations in which everybody matters & everybody wins. (need I say more?!)

Overwhelm, baby, WHEW! I have yet to meet someone (regardless of age, title, money in the bank account, appearance to the outside world) that isn't struggling trying to navigate it.

If you're feeling the weight of too many 'shoulds', feeling like life is loud, endless to-do lists & this constant pressure to do it all: my friend pull up a seat to this weeks #microconversation. 

We're exploring five powerful, awareness-based microtools (all of which I've personally used) to take back control amidst the chaos. 

Whether you're juggling a career, family personal aspirations (hell all three) - this episode is a must-listen for you to put fear, doubt, anxiety in the backseat, put you in the driver's seat to rise up above the overwhelm.

Who are you? Seems like a silly question but when was the last time you ever took a beat & thought about it. 

• Not the you that work wants you to be.
• Not the you that you think to need to be to be a 'good mom'
• Not the you that you grew up seeing your mom be.

YOU.

We're unpacking it, my friends, with my girl & badass human being, Kacy Fleming. 
I've watched her find out who she was, the courage to place herself in rooms that felt aligned (walk out of those that weren't) & gave birth to this beautiful community around menopause designed for women by women. 

Kacy Fleming is an award winning well-being strategist, a two time burnout thriver, life coach with a masters in organizational psychology & is building a tribe baby to build cultures where individuals feel safe & have space to grow & learn. 

This conversation is for you if you've been laid off feeling bull dozed with anxiety, fear, doubt & all the things & how the hell to find YOUR voice & put it out into the world. Shared by two women who struggled to find their own.

You know that feeling when you want to retract from the world? 

• Your exhausted & you want to talk to no one.
• You have the thing in the calendar to go see the friend, do the dinner, the networking event & you start plotting how you can get out of it.

I have felt this the majority of my life & told no one because I didn't have the language or the tools. 

My friends, I'm sharing with you what I know about social anxiety & the microtools that will help you move through it & not let it paralyze you.

Anyone else feel like the unexpected is popping around every corner.
Anyone else like me & HATE what they can't control (hand raised).
Anyone else feeling like they are on an island by themselves? 

In this kitchen table conversation with a dear friend & beautiful bada**, Nicole Cohen, we're talking about the unexpected: how to handle it, how to be human & how to use improv as a way to generate collaboration & creativity. 

My girl, Nicole Cohen, is a managing director in the global consulting world & has been for 25 years. She's also a lifelong student & practioner of the performing arts. She has training & experience in scripted performances & world of improv. 

Nicole & I (in this unscripted conversation) talk about:

• What to do when the stings come & the intention around the reaction (newsflash: we're talking 7 seconds)
• Self Isolation we do (the only person that thinks you need to have it all figured out is you) 
• The power of asking what tools do I need to not only survive but thriving in a way YOU need

There is this self-induced isolation that happens as we try to juggle all the things & you can become so immune to it, you don't even realize it (hand raised).

You know what gave me the courage to start to get to know myself, to have the courage to speak it out into the world, to walk out of the rooms that were no longer meant for me & into ones that were: WOMEN

 This woman, Dr. Brandi, is one of those women & WE are linking arms to bring out into the world:

----UNLEASHED: a 4 week women's leadership accelerator to give you tangible microtools to 
*rewire your leadership
*renew your confidence
*redesign YOUR future all while doing it hand in hand with our curated hype tribe of women on the same mission as you..

When people say 'just be you': what does that mean & how do you bring that to this loud, busy, overwhelmed world.

That is what we're unpacking today, my friends.  

In this kitchen table conversation, my friends & co-authors in the Freeman Means Business anthology: Own Your Story: Empower. Connect. Create. Change: Jennifer Thibodaux & Lesley Marlin & I unpack:

• Loneliness epidemic (how you can be in a sea of people & still feel lonely) & how to curate these micromoments of human connection
• Self-Awareness & how to find yourself in this loud world 
• The courage to bring you to he rooms you're in & how you can do that in micromoment daily decisions

The power of the questions we ask ourselves.

I once heard the brilliant #tonyrobbins say that the quality of your life is a direct result of the quality of your life. 

You want a better life, ask yourself better questions. 

In this #microepisode, you & I are unpacking the top questions you've asked me 

• How did I get here & where did I start 
• How to handle the summer overwhelm 
• Is it the job or is it me

When you think of womens health: if you're like me, I think of the diets & the fads & a 'one size fits all approach'

One conversation with my girl, Kelly Terwilliger & hearing her describe digestion, hormone balance, for the high achieving 40+ year old woman: I said to her, holy sh*t, you have to come on the podcast & share these nuggets. 

In this conversation, you hear Kelly & I unpack:

• the added stress that comes in your 40s & how the same sh*t you did in your 20s no longer works
• how to not feel alone as you navigate through this process
• how to listen to your body & take action on it in a way that feels right to you
