  • Building A Meaningful Career Path

    We spend about 1/3 of our waking hours at work. And yet many of us don't know how to navigate our careers. While we can allow our professional lives to be molded by the people and environmental circumstances around us, there is a cost. In today's episode we look at how to support ourselves and those around us in building meaningful career paths.

  • Mom Guilt

    Women continue to struggle. Same with our kids. The height of the global health crisis may be behind us, but not its impacts. Families around the world are struggling financially; children are facing increased poverty and anxiety; women and leaving their professional roles at a higher rate than any other demographic.

    What norms do we need to disrupt? How can we bring more equity to the way we support ourselves and others? What's at stake if we don't? These are questions that we explore in this episode on Mom Guilt.

  • Nostalgia

    Can we ever really go home? In a literal sense, maybe. In a figurative sense, probably not. As dynamic human beings living in an ever changing world, there is no going back to what was. We are changing. The places around us are changing. This is the gift of growth. Still it can be a joy to return to a location or experience that holds special memories. It offers a chance to reconnect and reevaluate. Join Sharon in this episode on a trip down memory lane as she shares some personal reflections on the occasion of her 20 year college reunion and invites you to reflect on and connect to your own moments of nostalgia.

  • Living A Creative Life

    We live our lives, one choice at a time. That choice can be conscious, of our own making. And it can be unconscious, left up to the whims of the momentum that swirls around us . What do you wish to express in your own life? What are the brushstrokes and compositions that make your life a work of art? That's what we get into in today's episode on living a creative life.

  • Identity & The Roles We Play

    What you do is not who you are. But left unchecked and unconsidered, our roles become part of our identity. In this way, the roles we play create pathways for what we see as possible - or not possible.

    In this episode, Sharon talks about the impact that roles and identity have on professionals and human beings considering making a change. She also discusses her challenges of answering the question, "Are you an artist?" Finally, she shares a set of reflection questions and invites you to consider the roles you play and how that's working.

  • Ask For What You Want

    How many times have you shrunk behind the weight of your desire and said nothing? A dream that sits only in the quiet of your own heart is just that - a dream. But a vision communicated with curious confidence is something you can move with - something that can come to life.

    In this episode, Sharon invites listeners to ask for what they want and challenges them to get curious about when and how. She then walks through 5 moves to guide you as you give voice to wishes and shares how one client put it all together and did just that.

  • Anxiety

    We are living through unprecedented times. Words like pandemic, recessions, layoffs, hybrid work, and more are part of our everyday professional vernacular. And that's to say nothing of ongoing systemic issues from which there are many to choose. As a result, anxiety has become a necessary part of workplace conversations. What do I do when anxiety strikes - for myself or for a colleague? How can I get out of an anxiety spin cycle and into aligned and inspired actions?

  • Growing Capacity

    The week we explore how to stretch into greater capacity. Both within yourself and beyond yourself. As we age and evolve, we often seek to be able to do more. This desire to grow might be tied to a certain season of life when you are stepping into something new and expansive - taking on a new role, launching a side hustle or creative endeavor, welcoming a child into your family. The need to stretch into a new way of doing things could also be tied to loss - letting go of a relationship, losing a job, grieving the death of a loved one. Or it could emerge from a personal conviction where you declare that you are ready to grow. Wherever the source, asking ourselves maximize our capacity is not an uncommon experience.

    But how? Tune in to learn about pathways to growth from within yourself and when you expand through building out a team of support.

  • Under the Surface

    It is easy to get distracted by what we can see. Or what we want others to see. But what is visible is a small fraction of what is there. What happens on the inside, out of sight, is a tremendous source of wisdom and guidance for each of us. How can we connect to our interior selves? What clues might we find at the surface to help us drop in and see with new eyes? In this episode, we deepen our awareness of what's happening for each of us under the surface.
