Stephanie Paul is an executive coach, keynote speaker, Founder of her own company, Stephanie Paul Inc., AND she is the author of the book: Unlock the Magic of a Story: How to Use Neuroscience Secrets to Engage and Influence Any Audience." But she has also been through her very own "sticky floor" that lasted not days, not months, but YEARS while she navigated a relationship that turned into love during a tragic moment, and then into marriage. As time unfolded, Stephanie realized the man she fell in love with in the moment, was not the man she ended up marrying.
Tune in to hear Stephanies story of sticky floors and starting over!

Should you be hustling? Or is hope enough?
We are assaulted all day - nonstop with social media posts from successful entrepreneurs who tout the benefits of the hustle - making us feel like we aren't doing enough - not working hard enough - that the HUSTLE is the expectation - the baseline - and if we aren't hustling - we aren't doing it right.
That if we want the a life filled with private jets and 6 pack abs, that we have to be waking up at 4am in the morning, doing a two hour workout followed by meditation and prayer, followed by reading at least 10 pages of self-help books, shopping and buying organic foods - meal prepping 6 meals a day - rocking out a 10 hour work day - and then having some sort of side hustle (there is that WORD again) oh - AND finding the time in your day to "disconnect" from the world so you can "connect" with your significant other, do your 8 step skin care routine, and then 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep!
Rise. Rinse. Repeat.
But what about hope? What about the power of manifestation? The law of attraction?
In this Stepping Stone, I examine what I think is the perfect mix. A little hustle... a little hope.
Where do you land?

Lauryn Pregoni found herself swimming against the tide in Corporate America. She was successful, but had this nagging feeling that she just didn't fit the mold - that she wasn't meant to be in Corporate America.
So she busted out!
Lauryn is the owner and founder of her Consulting Firm, People First HR Consulting. She works primarily with small to mid-sized businesses - think early to mid stage start ups, helping to develop their HR Function and being that strategic HR Partner and fractional HR Leader. But she didn't get there overnight - Lauryn and I talk about breaking the mold, and not being afraid to be different!

It is NO secret that the past few years have been hard on us - especially women. We have dealt with loss. We have dealt with COVID 19 - we have dealt with homeschooling our children while going fully remote - we have dealt with the decisions about vaccinations, about change... we DEAL with working like we don't have kids, and being a mom like we don't have a job.
And as of last Friday, we are dealing with the Supreme Court and what that means for us as women, as mothers, as wives and girlfriends and friends - and how it feels to not have control or the SAY in what we do with our bodies.
Our mental health is in CRISIS.
And if it's not dealt with, it can be a MAJOR STICKY FLOOR.
It can keep you reaching your potential.
It can keep you from being happy and finding JOY in life.
It can keep you from being the wife, mom, friend, daughter, that YOU want to be.
It can keep you from being YOU!
Listen in while I dive into the facts about Mental Health and how it affects women, what you can do about it, and THERAPY. (Let's face it... who doesn't need therapy?)
