Leading Lady Podcast | Coaching and Accountability for Ambitious Women Entrepreneurs

Are you able to lean on the other leaders on your team?

Brianna, Whitney, and Aubrey make up the admin team for my private preschools in Maryland, so they are joining me to talk all about leadership and working together as a team in leadership.

We discuss how leadership presence evolves over time, the benefit of individualized coaching when becoming a leader, why you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help, and most importantly, how to empower future leaders and the leaders around you.

Regardless of what industry you are in, I think you will really value this conversation with Brianna, Whitney, and Aubrey. They are giving such great advice on how to really build and nurture a strong leadership team!

Have you ever had a cake pop before? Chocolate is my favorite!

I am such a big fan of Lisa's Cakepops in Severna Park, Mayland, so I decided to interview Lisa Schneiderman in this episode!

Not only did I want to hear all about how she makes the most delicious and creative creations, but I also wanted to hear how she was able to turn a passion into a business later in life!

While Lisa and I definitely touch on the flavors and designs of her cake pops, we mostly chat about how she started a new career after the age of 50, how she knew she could pursue her passion, and the many ways that we can all support a small business like hers.

Lisa is so in tune with her purpose and passion, and I so admire her bravery and dedication to it. I know you will too while you listen.

This conversation will inspire you, motivate you, and of course, make you want to order from Lisa's Cake Pops yourself, so don't miss it!

Do you know what executive functioning is?

In this episode, I am joined by two women who have totally changed my life and have helped my family in the most incredible ways, and we are talking all about executive functioning.

Executive function is a set of mental skills that include working memory, flexible thinking, and self-control. We use these skills every day to learn, work, and manage daily life.

Karima Davis, the owner of Tutor Partners, offers online tutoring and coaching, educational coaching, and parent support. Michelle Porjes is an educational school psychologist who also focuses on executive function coaching.

We cover when executive functioning is fully developed, what parents can do to help their children, making sure your children have the tools they need, and so much more.

I have worked with Karima and Michelle and so have my children. I can't say enough good things about them and how important this work is.

Tune in to learn all about executive functioning and how you can support yourself and your children!

I don't believe that makeup is meant to hide our faces. It's meant to enhance the features we already have. Don't you agree?

Some people might have the understanding that makeup is used to hide features, but I don't look at it that way! My guest, Samia Freeman, doesn't either!

Samia Freeman is a makeup artist, skincare consultant, and beauty educator who is passionate about empowering women through their own inner beauty. She educates women on product knowledge as well as skincare and makeup application so they can feel confident incorporating the techniques into their everyday routine. Her approach is always client-focused, engaging her clients throughout the process as they prepare for their special events, so they feel comfortable and confident in their own skin.

Samia and I explore the idea that beauty is so much more than makeup. We cover the importance of taking care of our skin, where to start if you don't have a skincare routine, the effect of chemicals in skincare and so much more.

If you are interested in skincare, makeup, and enhancing your natural beauty from the inside out, you will absolutely love this episode.

Do you have a side-hustle?

A lot of women that I have talked to have day jobs and a side-hustle! There are so many different reasons why, and my guest today is talking to us about hers.

In today's episode, I am joined by one of my (and my dog's) favorite brand owners, Kelsey Holden to talk about how her day job pays the bills, but her side-hustle fulfills her creative passions.

A devout lover of all puns, Kelsey Holden is the owner and embroidery artisan of Good Dog Designs, a machine embroidery company based in her home studio of Baltimore, MD. During the day, Kelsey works in event marketing for a digital health startup company.

We are talking about all of the different ways that we can fill our buckets, why our careers don't have to be the be-all and end-all, how leaning into creativity can be an outlet for grief, and more!

This episode is a great reminder that your career does not have to be the only thing that you do especially if it doesn't bring you joy and fulfillment. We are all multi-faceted and can do so much! Listen in to hear advice from Kelsey on this and the motivation you might need to start your own side-hustle!

Do you want to take the LEAD of your life?

If you listen to this show or you follow along with me, I am going to guess that you do! Lucky for you, I am talking all about the Leadership Masterclass I offer in this episode.

The Leadership Masterclass is a 6-month group coaching program with an in-depth focus on mission, vision, and values that align with your goals both personally and professionally enabling you to lead authentically and at your BEST!

I created a safe space where women work together to identify their own unique leadership presence while focusing on the strategic objectives needed to keep businesses/organizations moving forward.

The power of group coaching is invaluable as we are either the student or the teacher in every experience, and when we can combine our experiences, share our resources and connect in meaningful ways, we truly live the motto "Empowered women, empower women."

There are hundreds of high-achieving women who have been able to take the lead of their life because of this, and I want you to be one of them!

For more information about the Leadership Masterclass and an inside look into what the masterclass can offer you, tune in!

Do you ever feel the weight of food stress and diet culture? Do you struggle with body image? Do you want to feel empowered to nourish and listen to your body rather than restricting your food intake?

I know that myself and so many other leading ladies are nodding our heads yes to all of these questions.

In today's episode, my intuitive eating coach, Elizabeth Harris, is back to talk more about using intuitive eating as an empowering approach to food, nutrition, and well-being.

Elizabeth is the owner of Elizabeth Harris Nutrition and Wellness, a registered dietitian and certified dietitian nutrition coach. She helps women choose nourishing foods and build lifelong healthful habits so they can never diet again. Her goal is to help women feel good about their wellness choices and their bodies and show up like an energized superstar for everyone and everything else they care about.

We are talking about the many benefits of intuitive eating, how empowering it is to switch focus from weight to well-being, why restrictive habits don't work and more.

Elizabeth has changed my entire mindset around health, wellness, and food, and I know she can help you too if you find yourself in this same mindset as I was once in.
