Recently, I launched a new product in my coaching business. It was exciting and yet a little nerve-wracking to put myself out there by doing something new. After the launch, I began to get feedback about a typo found in one of my new product emails. It wasn't a big deal, but it did make me stop to think.

It caused me to reflect on how we interact with one another. We often point out mistakes to others because we want to be helpful, but is it really helpful or not?

This experience gave me an opportunity to think about how I respond to others, the feedback I give, and whether my intention is to empower women. I hope this episode gives you the same opportunity for reflection.

With a career background in early childhood education, I feel like I should be able to help my own kids with whatever they need for school.

However, that's often not the case for parents. That's why it can be so valuable to hire a tutor to support your kids. In today's episode, Karima Davis gives us the ins and outs of hiring a tutor for your kids.

As an Academic Success Strategist, Karima has built lasting relationships with students, families, teachers, and administrators, maintaining a focus on providing unparalleled academic support at all times. In teaching students with learning differences, high-achievers, and those in between, she's discovered the magic that happens when students are allowed to embrace their uniqueness and uncover their strengths. Most importantly, her focus is on supporting the "whole child" and balancing academics with mental wellness.

Karima reminds us that success shouldn't take away your children's happiness.

I hope you enjoy this episode and her tips for helping your children be successful AND happy.

It can be easy to get overwhelmed with your health as a woman - especially as you get older. However, I truly believe that women should take an empowered and active role in maintaining their health. One of the important things to understand is the role that your hormones play in your health and energy levels. Today, I am so thrilled to chat with an expert on hormonal health - Dr. Erin Kinney.

Dr. Kinney is a Naturopathic Doctor, coach, and speaker who helps stressed-out women improve their mood, balance their hormones, and increase their energy.

In today's episode, Dr. Kinney and I chat about hormone health and how acute, chronic stress impacts your body.

I learned so much from my conversation with Dr. Kinney, and I hope you will too. Empower yourself to become more knowledgeable about your body to take a proactive approach to your health and longevity.

Social media - especially Instagram - has become such an important part of building a business and connecting with groups of like-minded people. I have worked so hard to build my own online presence as I have grown my business, and there are so many other business owners that I follow and admire.

One person I really admire is Kristin Gulitz from @hapahomecooking. Kristin has built one of my favorite Instagram accounts and foodie communities. I am so excited to chat with her about how she built her engaging social media presence so quickly.

I hope you take away a few social media tips from my chat with Kristin in this episode. I know that I've learned so much about creating an authentic community that I plan to use in my own accounts in the future.

I will be the first to admit that I have always had a love/hate relationship with food. Like many other leading ladies, I have struggled with food and body image for most of my adult life. When I met our guest on today's episode, I was finally able to identify some of my personal blocks and challenges were with nutrition and wellness.

Listen in to my conversation with Elizabeth Harris. 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.

Unlike other nutrition programs that focus on what not to do or which foods to eliminate, restrict, or avoid, Elizabeth highlights all the foods and habits you can ADD to your routines to reach your goals while making nutrition simple, satisfying, and sustainable. She is passionate about putting pleasure and fun back into nutrition and food.

I hope that this episode inspires you to get curious about your nutrition habits and find ways to bring pleasure and joy back into eating healthily.

I frequently get requests in the Leading Ladies Facebook group to do a podcast focusing on mental health. This topic is SO important to me, and I have done my best to be honest about my own mental health challenges. When we talk about mental health, it allows us to normalize the topic and allows people to get the information and help they so desperately need.

In this episode, I'm thrilled to chat with an expert on this topic - Maria Winters. Maria is a licensed Mental Health Therapist with 17+ years of experience in individual and group therapy with adolescents and adults. She is here to chat about ways we can do a quick check on our current mental state and strategies to improve on a day-to-day basis.

My hope in this episode is to show you that everyone has challenges, and you are never alone if you feel like you are struggling. If you need help, there is no shame in that! Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or therapist for support and know that you are loved. Today's episode is one you aren't going to want to miss!
