Let's meet more of the talented authors from We Lead: Volume 2!

Today I am joined by Erin Harrigan, Julie Blamphin, Gala McCray, and Ellen Lunay. Although they are very different women I just love what they are accomplishing in their lives, in their businesses, and in leadership as well!

In this episode, the women authors share more about themselves, writing their chapters, and what key message they hope readers will take away from each of their unique experiences.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Finding relief in letting go of friendships and other difficult situations we don't see on social media

• Letting authenticity show up in your business and how it can come back to help you when least expected

• How learning to be consistent can make life easier (even if it doesn't solve your problems!)

In this episode, I'm sharing the real reasons women entrepreneurs get discouraged and what you can do to move forward in your business with confidence.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• 5 reasons why women hit the wall of frustration that leads to discouragement

If you feel like you have to choose between running a successful business and maintaining your well-being, this episode is definitely for you!

I learned early on in my career that taking care of yourself is essential to finding success because YOU are the greatest asset in your business! And I've helped so many clients figure this out as well. It's why I started the Leading Lady coaching program.

In this episode, I want to share with you why I focus so much on well-being as a keystone to success and how Leading Lady Coaching empowers women to do just that.

While things like strategy and education are important, they're not everything! If you've been neglecting your own needs for the sake of your business, be sure to tune in!

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why success is more than just strategy and mindset

• What I learned about leadership from starting my first business as a brand-new mom

• My coaching approach to help high-achieving women like you feel both successful and supported

Is it just me, or has January flown by while also feeling 87 years long at the same time?

While fresh and new, the start of the year can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and often without any real direction. I've been reflecting on what I've learned in January and what I'll be doing differently in February to set me up for success for the rest of the year.

In this episode, I'm sharing how to recalibrate your schedule for success, especially in your business when you've had a busy start to the year.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The power of an established structure in your day

• What you should be doing to avoid burnout

• How even simple routines will set you up for success

Let's meet the Leading Lady ambassadors for 2025!

Leading Lady Ambassador Program is a mastermind group curated by me to bring together a select group of women entrepreneurs who excel in their fields and meet high standards of quality.

The world is fueled by competition, and that's why I believe it's so important to have women in your corner to mentor and encourage you!

Topics covered in this episode include:

• What the Ambassador Program is and how it supports women in our community

• The many different ways ambassadors can mentor and encourage women in business

We've all heard that comparison is the thief of joy, but lately, I've realized how true that really is.

All the time I hear women talking about how they should be doing something because they see someone else doing it, and believe me, I fall into this trap too. I get it.

Why do we think that doing something we don't want to do is somehow going to make us feel happier or more successful?

This episode is a replay of the most popular episode of 2024 from the Leading Lady podcast. It is about rejecting comparison and instead celebrating all of our unique qualities and successes. Just because one woman experienced success in something, doesn't mean you have to do it too. You can be happy for her and move on, and that doesn't make you a failure. I'm sharing some of my own experiences with comparison as well as some tips to help you stop comparing yourself to others and start living as your authentic self.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How social media keeps you stuck in the comparison trap

• The negative effects of constant comparison

• Reconnecting with what you really want for yourself

If you often feel like you're behind everyone else, you're not good enough, or you should be doing more, you need to hear this! Tune in.
