Meet Gary Noesner - author, instructor, investigator, and FBI negotiator. 

Gary served as the lead hostage negotiator during the first 25 days of the 51 day siege in Waco TX. His book Stalling for Time, My life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator became the framework with the Netflix mini-series WACO. 

In his words, "I've talked about WACO more in the past couple months than in my entire career, but if you don't know history you're destined to repeat it."

We explore what it feels like to be negotiating relationships from every angle in crisis situations, and how the lessons from these experiences can apply to everyday life.

There were so many great parts of this conversation, but my favorite takeaway is this: The best answer you can give is the most truthful - even if it's, "I don't know."

In this episode we're welcoming back an old friend Alex Perry, of Practically Speaking.

Since we first sat down in season 1, Alex has done a Ted Talk, written and published her first book Minivan Mogul, and started a podcast of her own - Practically Speaking with Alex.

We talk about what it looks like to be powerful as a mother, speaker, author and entrepreneur and how embracing her mini-van fueled her creative fire and became her personal super power.

What used to be a form of self-deprecation became the center of her story and the beginning of her next phase in fully embracing herself.

Here's one of her road rules - "It's ok to stop and ask for directions."

We laughed so much in this episode, and it was a true joy to interview her again. I can't wait for you to laugh along with us.

Today's episode is all about healing. Specifically as it relates to -

• emotional healing
• emotional recovery
• emotional work

About a week ago a client that I'd been working with for about 5 months asked me, "How do you know when you're done?"

We explored the question for a little while, and what became clear was that she wanted to know - "...when I've healed what I need to heal, and how do I really know when I've made progress?"

The short answer is that the less activated a painful emotion is in you - anger, grief, worry, sadness, frustration, etc. - indicates how healed a memory, experience, or relationship is within you. 

I this episode I explore the language we use to identify where healing work is needed.

For example - Feeling activated vs Triggered 

I also dig into a recent experience in my life where I had some healing work to do and how I navigated that process. 

I hope you enjoy listening to this week's episode as much I enjoyed making it.

Enjoy!

In 2014, Kris Taylor published her first book - The Leader's Guide to Turbulent Times. She had no way of knowing just how right she'd be about "turbulent times", and 6 years later how much we'd all benefit from her knowledge.

Kris Taylor is a speaker, author, educator and founder of Evergreen Leadership.  

I first met Kris at a workshop she was leading along side of fellow coaches Caroline Dowd-Higgins, and my dear friend and former Don't Cut Your Own Bangs guest Lindsay Boccardo.

It was at this workshop that I first admitted - out loud - that I wanted to make a podcast. The confidence and clarity to go from having an idea to making it a reality came as a direct result from Kris and this workshop. 

This was a wonderful full-circle moment for me. Kris was as gracious and generous in this interview as she was the first time I met her. I know you're going to love her too.

Enjoy!
