She overcame the odds, put aside what others had to say and got clear with the outcomes of health, fulfillment, and deeper relationships that she intended.

Kathy Miller - author of Steel Toes and Stilettos, A True Story of Women Manufacturing Leaders and Lean Transformation Success - joins us for an informative conversation this week!

Kathy launched her career in Operations as a 17 year old co-op student at a vehicle assembly plant, and progressed through engineering, marketing, lean and operations leadership roles, working for four large publicly traded corporations in executive roles.  Her experience in saying yes, saying no, and being heard shine through in this episode.

One of the biggest take aways you'll leave with is "If you're saying yes to everything, you are saying no to some things - but you're just saying no by default instead of on purpose." Words of wisdom!

Erika and Kathy bring the goods on juggling intense, fulfilling careers, being the only women in the boardroom at times - alongside managing life's other demands as moms and spouses, and making it all work. 

Slowing down to speed up is a thing!

Listen in as Kelly and Erika bring the goods on setting your own pace, why that matters and their own journeys on getting to their personal best.  As an Executive, Business & Life Coach, Speaker, Strategist & Writer Kelly works with high-level clients to break through what is holding them back in order to elevate & expand to their next level in personal power, wealth & self leadership. 

We learn from Kelly that if your win today - the gain - was getting up and taking a shower, you really do win! It's YOU vs YOU and that's all that matters.

The daily practice of staying out of the comparison game is where the victory happens - and this episode teaches you just that.

Join Kelly and Erika for an episode of "we do real" and celebrate your accomplishments alongside them, however big or small.

Listen in as we share tried and true strategies to make speaking to a group easier than you'd ever thought possible - with reassurance that you're not alone.

Have you ever asked yourself near the end of a month, a season or maybe a year – did I achieve more than ever? Did I meet my goals, am I coming out winning on the other side?
 
In today’s episode, Erika sits down with Alexis Ocampo, a renowned athlete with a string of accolades behind her: Senior Athlete and Assistant Coach for the AAU USA National Karate Team, 5-time World Karate Champion and 20-time USA National Karate Champion, just to name a few.

They have a candid conversation around the mental checklist so many of us carry. This list often forgets the more important question – am I fulfilled? With all the work that I put in each day, is there a legacy I will be leaving?

Alexis' openness will help you reframe your conversation with yourself, set you up for perspective on what's to come and best of all - help you redefine what "winning" really means.

Do not miss this week’s episode as we sit down with dynamo Meridith Alexander!

Her life experiences and encouraging storytelling make for a heartfelt episode that will leave you feeling ready to take on whatever your personal “ALL” looks like!

A few minutes with Meridith will quickly show you why she is known for her highest belief in self! As she shares - It's the YOU who says YES to your "impossible dreams," the YOU who commits to an epic destiny rather than letting excuses hold you
back. This journey doesn't depend on luck or circumstances. It requires YOU to commit to taking the first step.

Her take on what it means to shine your light, how to be ready for things you can never really be ready for - and more - are all captured in this enlightening conversation.
