The balancing act between career, family, and self-care has taken on a new set of challenges in this current, blended world. Carving out time for ourselves is next to impossible.

Are you the fixer, the provider, or fearless leader amongst your tribe, caring for everyone else and ignoring the warning signals of your body? How is that working for you? Featuring Stephanie Sinkfield, Author, Entrepreneur, MarComm Expert, and a Strong Friend who knows this Life all too well, learn unique insight into maintaining your BOSS moves while keeping your self-care and wellness intact. You will also hear Stephanie's #selfishmoment story of rebounding from loss, which leaves many of us stuck and unmotivated.

There comes a time when you look around at your life and realize that something must change for a better outcome, but for many, that’s easier said than done. In this episode, you’ll hear from Vildana Sunni Puric, aka, Sunni And The City, author and radio personality for one of Washington D.C.’s hottest radio and television stations, who will share her personal story of overcoming poverty, hunger, and an escape from a refugee camp to seek a more fulfilling life of endless opportunities. You will also hear some of her #selfishmoments, as she explains the mindset shift that she had to take to shine amidst the turmoil around her.

Self-doubt is a prominent behavior that sometimes rears its’ ugly head and prevents us from leveling up in our personal lives and within our careers. When we look at the characteristics of many great leaders, there is a healthy dose of bravery that reigns supreme, but where does that motivation come from? My special guest, Amy DuBois Barnett, Senior Vice President and General Manager, BET Digital knows this concept all too well. As an award-winning content and branding expert for major media brands, you will learn what it takes to get out of your own way and start living your life on your own terms.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes? How did it make you feel? Did you feel anything at all? My special guest on this episode is none other than the conjurer of learning innovation and talent development guru, Elliott Masie who is a leading advocate of Empathy, in which most of his work is centered around. My sit down with him was uniquely insightful, as we went beyond this new buzzword and unlocked the root of what it really means to be an empathetic leader.

For many, a life-time can be spent going down the purpose-finding journey and oftentimes, fear of the unknown and acceptance of our inner talents are the culprit. You are what you believe and what you believe will be the foundation for the decisions you make....and don't make. So, Do It Scared!

My special guest this week, Sonya Lowery, Founder & Chief Adventure Officer, World Next Door is the epitome of "living on your own terms" and shares unique insight into her #selfishmoment story of self-discovery that turned her passion for adventure into a business that has given countless others an experience of a lifetime.

Today’s economy has its’ own unique set of challenges and while the way we work and conduct business has changed significantly, the demand to stay relevant in this ever-changing job market has many professionals struggling to find the time to put the period at the end of each day—and ultimately, are getting burnt out. Special guest, Walt Sanderson, VP, HR Business Partner & Diversity Officer, SiriusXM + Pandora provides key insight into wellness in the workplace and how businesses can adopt an empathetic culture.

There’s good enough and then there’s Badass! And the process in between takes a relentless mindset and a solid motivation shift that doesn’t quit. On this episode, my special guest, Emilie Aries, CEO & Founder of Bossed Up, knows this concept all too well and has worked with leaders across multiple industries to level up in both, their careers and personal lives. Aries will share her #selfishmoment story of staying resilient through a toxic relationship, which was the turning point that started her Bossed Up journey and propelled her work in empowering others.
