My Innermission

When we are contemplating taking a risk or making a change, our fear about the financial risks can hold us back. But what would it mean if we could unpack our relationship with money to find the root of our fear, so we can step into change with greater confidence? In this conversation with financial coach LeAndra Foster we explore how her own journey in understanding her relationship with money led to her own professional growth and helped her identify tools to help others.
We'll discuss:

• Why is money too often associated with our sense of self worth?
• How can we use curiosity to dissect the root of our financial fears?
• How can considering the "worst case scenario" lead us to greater success?

Halloween is just around the corner and as a nod to the holiday of costumes, I wanted to focus on Imposter syndrome, that pesky notion that we aren't good enough, aren't unique enough, or aren't qualified enough to do something. Often this imposter syndrome holds us back from taking risks or stepping into new challenges with confidence.
On today's show, I talk about combating Imposter Syndrome by creating an Alter Ego. Using techniques and approaches from my own leadership work and Todd Herman's book, The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life, I explore what an alter ego is, how to create your alter ego, and how to use your alter ego to silence your inner critic.

We use the phrase, "stepping outside our comfort zone" to describe challenging and new experiences. Being outside our comfort zone can help us grow, but only if we are ready to step into the unknown. In this conversation with author Anna Switzer, we'll discuss her own Innermission that pushed her outside her comfort zone, and how we can embrace the discomfort that comes with self-awareness and new experiences.
We'll discuss:

• What do we need to move outside our comfort zone in a productive way?
• How do the variables of time and space help us step outside our comfort zone?
• How can we give ourselves License to Learn more about ourselves and explore new experiences?

Before I jump into interviews with other folks who have been through their own change process, this episode is a self-reflection on my own change process, what I learned and what strategies I learned. If the goal of My Innermission is honest conversation about how challenging change can be, but how we can learn more about ourselves and move into the second act of life, then it is time to tell the behind-the-scenes of My Innermission.
