  • Special Edition: One More Trip Around the Sun with Dr. Mary Meduna-Gross

    In this special birthday edition of In Flow With Soul, I am joined by my good friend and fellow coach, Monica Edwards. Our roles are reversed, as Monica graciously steps in as guest host, and I am now on the "other side." From this perspective, I was able to pause, reflect and share my life's journey giving special attention to this past year.

    During this episode, I dive deep into the lessons I've learned along the way and those I continue to learn and understand as time goes on including:

    1. The power and beauty of coaching

    -Through coaching, I have realized no one is broken, including myself.

    2. The sun comes after the storm

    -By staying in the storm, I open myself to the light that follows.

    3. Good leaders vs. Great leaders

    - Ask yourself, "Whose show is this?" (I'll give you a hint. There's no I in team).

    4. Assessment leads to opportunities

    -Although it's uncomfortable, sometimes you have to take a good, hard look at your life, your business and your relationships.

    5. The story you tell yourself

    -and others...because ultimately what you tell yourself becomes the story of your life.

    I hope you enjoy and celebrate with me!

    Thank you Monica for being a part of this!
