Mental Health

Last year, I found myself on a retreat utterly exhausted. I knew I was craving more space in my life and business. So in the fall, I started doing just that. I began shutting down certain lines of business while continuing to do high-quality work with my clients, and after 17 and a half years and over 1000 episodes, I’ve made the decision to hit pause on the podcast too.   Join me this week as I share why my soul is craving space, rest, and even boredom, how I’m creating more space in my life and business by hitting the pause button, and the endless possibilities that I believe await us both on the other side. Until we meet again, stay curious, stay open, and stay true to yourself.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/4a7oRtF

The Pause

 As a child, we had parents, teachers and other authoritative figures to lead the way. But as we make our move into adulthood, it can become difficult to step into leadership roles - in any aspect of our lives. In fact, this is a topic I discuss with my clients regularly. So I’d like to emphasize that leadership is about identity and way of being, rather than titles merely bestowed upon us by others.  Tune in to discover the importance of self-trust, self-compassion, and self-accountability in being the leader of your life. By embracing agency, taking ownership and leading with integrity and compassion, you can make changes in both your personal and professional endeavors.      Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/3xbm4AU  

Being the Leader of Your Life: Owning Your Role

As a leadership coach, one of the things I do a lot of coaching on is communication. Communication can be scary and intimidating. Maybe it’s something you think you should know how to do, but let me tell you, it’s a learnable skill.    In this episode, I share the story of one of my clients from a situation where she was brave and gave positive feedback to someone. Discover what makes you feel safe, and if it involves refraining from clear communication with others, you’ll learn how to cultivate the skillset of communication.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/4cfU5jO

Unlocking Connection: The Power of Vulnerability and Feedback

Sometimes, when you become so anxious about what’s going to happen, you may start to under-function, allowing the unknown to manage you instead of managing it. This week, I’m discussing moving into the unknown, whether it involves performances, events, or waiting for a diagnoses.    Tune in this week to learn how to become a compassionate observer in your life and embrace the vulnerability that comes with uncertainty. I’ll share the challenges I faced in navigating the unknown during my senior year of college and how I had stealth expectations about ending my college career.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/3wKndiT  

Managing the Unknown: Face Your Fear and Anxiety Head-On

Are any of your expectations influenced by fear, shame, and magical thinking? These are called stealth expectations and they will go unnoticed until they resurface when challenges occur. It’s crucial to be aware of them and to know how to recognize if you have stealth expectations.   In this episode, I discuss the impact stealth expectations can have on you if you don’t pay attention to what’s going on inside yourself, and how to start creating self-awareness around the things that you expect.     Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/48AX9UB
