Leading Lady Podcast | Coaching and Accountability for Ambitious Women Entrepreneurs

How do you walk away from diet culture when it's all around you?

It's not an easy task, but it's so worthwhile for your long-term health and happiness. I sat down with Elizabeth Harris to talk about how to break the toxic cycle of comparison, negative self-talk, and perfectionism that shows up in food, body image, and leadership. It's a heavy topic, but there's so much joy to be found on the other side of it.

We're talking about things like how comparison shows up in diet culture, ways to shift your thoughts and conversations away from diet culture, and how to maintain a healthier and happier relationship with food.

Elizabeth Harris is a registered dietitian, certified Intuitive Eating counselor, speaker, entrepreneur, and co-host of the Wellness Rebranded podcast.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How to break away from diet culture

• Ways to change the subject away from diet and weight

• How perfectionism shows up in your relationship with food

Join us on our mission to break up with diet culture.

Have you ever felt a desire to serve others but felt lost on how to do it?

Mentoring can be truly transformational for both the mentee and the mentor.

We may not realize it but we all inherently serve others. In fact, a majority of the time we are either in the position of a teacher or a student. We naturally mentor those around us and it can be easy to overlook the huge impact we are making on each other's lives.

In this fan favorite replay episode of the Leading Lady Podcast, we are chatting with Julie Campbell about how and why you should consider becoming a mentor.

Julie is a wife, a mother, and a retired Naval officer. After spending 10 years in the commercial aerospace industry, her passion for mentoring and serving others led her to become the first President and CEO of the non-profit Severn Leadership Group, a movement of like-minded leaders who support leaders of character committed to serving others before self.

So many people have a desire to serve others in their communities and becoming a mentor is a powerful and effective way to do that. You're never too busy to become a mentor.

Tune in to hear how you can use this natural ability to make a huge impact on others!

We're going to shake things up and end Take The Lead at the beginning.

When I started reading Take The Lead here on the podcast, I realized that I didn't want to read the foreword because I didn't write it! My dear friend Jennifer Klepper did, and she has kindly agreed to come and read it for me in this episode.

Jennifer played a huge part in the development, publishing, and promotion of Take The Lead. She taught me so much about the world of publishing and becoming an author, and she filled me with the confidence and encouragement to keep going.

Jennifer is the USA Today Bestselling author of Unbroken Threads and co-founder of Early Works, a tech startup producing solutions in education, health, tech, gaming, and AI. She's worked for Big Law, small law, start-ups, and Google.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Celebrating the wealth and opportunity of a work in progress

• Why perfection is a facade

• Doing the work to discover your truths

Tune in for a short and sweet episode about what it means to be a work in progress, the value of growth, and the beauty of living a life of purpose and truth.

What does it mean to be a leading lady?

Our summer read of Take The Lead is coming to a close and this question is what I'm reflecting on. If you're just tuning in, I've been reading one chapter per episode from my own book for the last 12 episodes, and in this one, I'm winding things down with the epilogue and acknowledgments, plus I'm sharing some reflections on how I feel a year after the book's release.

In this episode, I talk about the value of sharing our stories, what it really means to be a leading lady, and why the world needs you. Yes, YOU! I hope you enjoy hearing my thoughts on the purpose of Take The Lead and what it was like to write it. It's been really interesting for me to reread the whole book a year later and see how much I've grown even in that time.

A leading lady has to learn and grow; a leader can't stay the same forever.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• What it really means to be a leading lady

• How to honor your role as a leader in different seasons of your life

• Navigating seasons of surviving and thriving

Tune in to hear what I think about Take The Lead one year later.

What does it really mean to be resilient?

Over the last 12 episodes, I've been reading one chapter a week from my book, Take The Lead. If you're just tuning in, you can go back to Episode 163 to start from the beginning of the book, or you can listen to each episode as a standalone.

You're joining me now for the final chapter and this one is all about resilience.

The truth about resilience is that it's more complex than just bouncing back after a traumatic event. It's about taking time to learn from your mistakes and building rest and recovery time into your schedule so that you can perform at your best. Resilience is a lifestyle, not a momentary reaction.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• What resilience really is

• The danger of comparison

• The importance of prioritizing rest

• Giving yourself and others space to process emotions

Hit play on this episode and together we'll take a deeper dive into the true meaning of resilience.

You can show up as the person you really want to be.

Topics covered in this episode include:
