Are the Holidays a time for nostalgia and joy for you or a time of pain and loneliness? While the cultural and commercial experience of the holidays are presented as pure bliss, your personal experience can be the opposite. While this may not be the case for you, there’s certainly someone in your life that it is. We can’t offer a solution to change this, but we can be a voice to say to you or anyone you know - no matter what the holidays mean for you, you’re not alone.

Find a way to encourage someone who is having a hard Holiday season. Let us know how it went! Reach out to us on social media or via our website www.ISWCPodcast.com and submit your stories of courage.

Grief is universal, something we will all experience at some point in our lived. Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing.

We need to begin to see grief not as foreign entity and not as an alien to be held down or caged up, but as a natural process. As the recipient of someone’s grief we also must understand that it is OK for someone to express pain.

In today’s world, most of us carry grief and do not even know it. The consequences are that even with your most intimate and trustworthy friends you might feel like, “I am burdening them.” Crying in front of others is too often a forbidden fruit. We learn to compartmentalize our grief because expressing it in an unwelcoming place will only lead to more grief. We are taught that the people who are closest to us have no way of holding us when we fall apart.

After listening to this podcast, can you relate? Have you embraced grief? Are you prepared to step out of it?

Success- What matters more, talent or hard work?

Have you ever met someone so successful in their field of business that it seems like they were born to do it? Some individuals make the entrepreneur life look so effortless that you start to wonder if it's in their DNA. In this episode Cat & Jen discuss the importance of early exposure as a stepping stone to success.

Success in any field of life is not due to inborn traits. Rather it is achieved through experiences, knowledge and passion. The same goes for business. Entrepreneurs are not marked from birth; they are people who made a series of good decisions in their businesses and lives.

Everyone can lead - yeah, that means you too! You have opportunities to take action and make an impact on others' lives. Being a leader is easier said than done, but it all starts with one small step; having the courage to believe you can! It’s a process of little choices, not one big moment. Leadership doesn’t start when hundreds are following you and it doesn’t need a title or position. Be encouraged as we talk about what leading looks like in your everyday life!

After our conversation, what do you believe is your strongest quality of leadership? Which one do you think needs improvement? Let us know! To do so, visit our website or reach out to us on social media.
