With the state of our country, or better yet, our world, men have to reclaim their power.  Men have begun to numb themselves to certain feelings and emotions and, as a result, are acting in ways that could be detrimental to society.  There is confusion as to their role and place in society, along with men struggling with how to resolve conflict and make peace with themselves and those around them. Can we find an antidote to the numbness and a path to creating wholeness in men? 

In this episode, sought-after coach Stephen Kotev joins us to share his insights and experiences on the troubling aspects of men and relationships, conflict resolution, embodiment, numbness, and becoming whole.  We discuss:

•   If men have become defective 
•   If men are owning their stuff or just numbing the pain 
•   Giving yourself permission to make mistakes 
•   Not getting caught in the trap of perfection and more...

So if you are ready to reclaim your power and understand why emotional fitness is the key, tune in and be ready to take lots of notes. For the women in our audience, you'll want to tune in to understand the men in your life better.

Everyone likes to feel heard and know that their voice matters. It can be in our jobs, careers, relationships, or family. We want to feel heard, seen, valued and understood. But, if we take a hard look, we will see some of the biggest failures or misunderstandings in our work life and personal relationships are because, plainly put, our communications skills suck. We can be saying exactly what we want, but the person we are telling it to, are they really listening? 

A person will hear what they want to hear and act on that. Bad decisions are made, and we stay in relationships we probably should not be in, resulting in an expensive, costly error that can be difficult to recover from or maybe even divorce. All that could have been avoided if we just invested in active listening. 

In this episode, employee engagement and loyalty expert Heather Younger discusses how you can build better relationships and improve communication professionally and personally through active listening. We talk about:

•   The impact of  not listening
•   Saying things just to get along 
•   The cycle of active listening 
•    Listening does not mean agreeing 
•    Unconscious bias and listening 
•    It's more than just listening; you have to take action too and more...

Get ready to build better relationships professionally and personally.

Have you ever worked for a boss who was just a jerk? They were such an inadequate boss; they didn’t even realize the impact they were having on their team. Under their leadership or really management, team members do not thrive; they survive. Turnover is high, morale and engagement are low, and most people do enough to get by. Our guest in this episode, Michelle D. Reines, was once a leader like this. But she was an ass as a boss. 

Michelle did not understand how to lead. But through her thrills of defeat and victory, she learned what it takes to become a true leader, a leader that people want to work for and will give 110% to achieving success. Through her years of experience, Michelle has identified 12 leadership lessons to help you unlock the art of leading like a Badass.

 Michelle is a coach, entrepreneur, founder of MDR Coaching & Consulting, Inc., and creator of the unconventional Badass Leader brand. In this episode, she shares her journey, how you can recognize if you are a Bad Leader, and what you can do today to unlock the Badass Leader within you. The tips you learn will not only transform you professionally but personally as well.

As business owners, one of the main challenges we can experience is knowing how to balance our business and family. It doesn’t matter if you are a single mom with one child or a happily married couple with six children, you may have found yourself wanting to throw in the towel and call it quits. Not because you don’t want your own business but because you are having trouble managing your life. It may seem impossible, but in this episode, entrepreneur Renee Harris joins us to share how she, as wife and mother of nine, created a very successful business with a happy, thriving family. 

Renee has created a 6-figure online business selling a unique handcrafted skincare product for dry, cracked skin. Along with her husband, she raised nine children along the way, teaching them business skills and strategies to develop a marketable talent that earns them a sustainable income. 

Tune in as Renee shares her unique story on how she went from a simple farmer’s market booth to an incredible online business while still being an awesome wife and mother. Yes, it is possible!

I was getting a little nervous again. I had run into another issue with the podcast. How much longer and how many times would I choose to allow this to happen? What should I do?  

February focuses a lot on romance and relationships, so I started thinking about my podcast issues and how it compares to a relationship.  When should we decide to let go and move on?

In this episode, I use what occurred with the podcast to discuss what can happen in relationships when we choose to ignore certain actions that take place. The things we ignore can build up over time and result in a resentful, unhappy, and destructive relationship.  Should we continue to ignore them, or should we approach things differently?

Tune in to learn what happened and how we can decide when it’s time to let go and move on.

The media constantly defines what a man should be and what a woman should be. Men should not allow themselves to be vulnerable with a woman; if they do, they will be seen as weak. Women should accept that most men will cheat, especially if they are a high-value man earning six figures or more. Should a man consider what the woman wants in a relationship? 

In this episode, worldwide keynote speaker, seven-time bestselling author, and Executive Coach Simon T Bailey joins us to discuss how supporting women in deep, committed, focused, and authentic ways can inspire them and create a whole, vibrant, and empowering climate that helps men grow and achieve success. We dive into: 

•   Some painful truths about men and relationships, 
•   The myth is that all men cheat, 
•   If women over 30  are of any value to men and
•   If what a woman feels really matters. 

For all the men out there, tune in and learn if you can ignite the power of a woman, and when you do, what can happen. Women, you’ll want to tune in to understand how a modern-day man thinks.

What would you do if you found out your best friend was sleeping with your boyfriend? We have watched this play out on TV shows or movies and make headline news. Betrayal was even at the center of the storyline in season two of the Netflix hit Euphoria. Watching events like this or other painful events unfold, we don't consider how they impact someone's life. That is, until it happens to you or someone close to you. 

Far too often, we allow the tragedies and pain from our past to prevent us from moving forward and achieving success in our lives. We stay in denial, unconsciously causing harm to others and ourselves. Is it healthy to stay in this space? If so, how long can or should we stay there? What can we do to break free from the pain of our past? 

In this episode, author and coach Ann Papayoti shares how you can break free from the past, create positive change, and unlock your best life. Ann has gone through some painful moments in life, ranging from betrayal by her best friend and boyfriend, marriage to an abusive husband, suicide, and the death of a child. However, through the depth of her grief and honoring herself, Ann was able to bring all her losses to the forefront and rediscover herself. 

Tune in to learn how Ann used the gift of "shift" to transform her life and how you can too. It's time to dance in the rain and love life again.
