Here are three takeaways from the episode:

1.   Naysayers can get in the way and keep us down and the key is to believe in yourself. Sometimes you surprise yourself. The sky is not the limit.

2.   We do make assessments about what we wear and what others wear. It can reflect what we think about ourselves. We need people to believe we are capable. Naysayers are usually people not as successful as us and our cheerleaders usually are.

3.   You’ll find you need help so it’s important to find mentors who know more than us. We need to own who you are, the good and the bad, and acknowledge how far we’ve come. Also important is to avoid comparing yourself to others, only compare yourself to where you want to be and where you are.

This month we’re all about Abundance and this episode

The first is covering the book, The Algebra of Wealth, A Simple Formula for Financial Security, by Scott Galloway. I had seen several posts by Galloway on LinkedIn and thought he had a lot to say about wealth, both from the functional and higher vibrational

And the second thing will be to share some recent learnings about Resilience I’ve had over the weekend when I attended the Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute of Chi Omega in Memphis, TN.

Topics Covered:

Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:

1.   Despite the challenges we face, the future holds incredible opportunities for those who remain focused, adaptable, and willing to invest in themselves.

2.   Economic security isn’t just about how much you earn, but about what you keep and how you use it.

3.   By embracing a mindset of resilience and long-term thinking, we can redefine success and build lives of abundance, free from the anxieties that have weighed down previous generations. Remember, wealth is not just about money—it’s about choices. And when you take control of your financial future, you gain the freedom to live on your own terms.”

We’ve been covering stories about fearless leadership for August and this is our final episode. I know you probably all followed the Olympics in Paris this year and heard a lot about the women who stood out with amazing stories like Katie, Simone, Sha'Carri , but I’m thinking there’s some other stories you may not have heard about and that’s my hope for today. I hope you hear something new and feel inspired learning about these fearless women, moms, and soon-to-be moms.

Kim Dechaine, Gen X, joins us to talk about the fearless face of depression as part 4 of our 4-part series about the book Fearless Female Leaders by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow (Eps, 182, 183, 184).

Kim is a recognized international speaker and facilitator who specializes in empowering professional women to stay in their leadership roles with more ease and joy, by navigating and preventing overwhelm and burnout. Through her journey with depression and suicidal thoughts, Kim has learned one important truth: we are Human-BEINGS, not Human-DOINGS. Her passion lies in providing workshops and leadership programs to businesses and organizations that focus on mindfulness, self-leadership, and productivity.

Topics covered in the Episode:

Here are three takeaways from the episode:

1.    Values in leadership, especially having peace and calm in our heart, when it comes to decision making, it might be a lightness leading to a “Yes”.

2.    Women in leadership have a special gift of intuition – pausing in that peace and calm can help us listen to that intuition. Both are intertwined. We have to learn to

3.   Self-awareness and shifting ourselves is #1 to be fearless leaders – it starts with us. Compassion helps us lead from our heart. We have to be able to listen and to listen we need to pause.

Reminder: No one has 100% mental health. It’s a practice. We need to prioritize it.

Paula is a Pastoral Counselor and internationally known speaker on gender equity and religious tolerance. As Kathy and Rosemary wrote this in their book after interviewing Paula: “She who had been born into a boy’s body and was given the name Paul by her parents knew she was meant to be a girl… After leading a double life he made the fearless decision to move forward with her gender transition... for the first time in her years on earth she was feeling seen, heard, loved and valued for who she truly was. A woman.” 

Topics covered in the Episode:

Transition journey

Male & woman leadership insights

Gender equity

Authenticity

Mary Oliver’s The Journey

Actions to take the deep inner journey

What keeps us from leading

Rejection
