​John Murray, Positive Self-Image Educator and Headshot Photographer, is today's podcast guest.

Sharing stages with people like Deepak Chopra, Marshall Goldsmith & Kingsley Aikins, John travels the world and shows how we have a "gap" between how we think we look and what we think the rest of the world expects us to look like.

The aim of John's work is to close this "gap."

He shares his personal story with vulnerability and reminds us that when we tap into our "selves" we can begin to live our dream lives.

To continue the conversation with John you can check out his LinkedIn profile, visit his website, or find him on Oxygean, the new social media app.

Jessica Harrington is a stress management and self-love coach and she speaks to us today about coffee.

Yes, coffee.

Well, not just about coffee but how coffee fits right in with how to better manage our stress.

It's just a matter of paying attention.

This takes practice, my friends, and being able to practice awareness is the best practice we get at taking better care of ourselves.

You don't want to miss this one.

One year ago today, I hit "publish" on the trailer for my podcast.

It's been such a fun ride and I'm so very grateful for all of you and your support.

It's no surprise to me that the top three topics relate to mental health, culture, and of course, my personal favorite, stepping into your power.

I also talk about my "fake commute" and what brought me to create a podcast of my very own.

The top episodes are listed below and are the best of the best. I extracted short clips from each episode. So, rather than highlight three takeaways, I leave you with a challenge for the week:

CHALLENGE: We’re half-way through the year, use this time to review how far you’ve come not just in the past six-months but also the past year. Celebrate yourself and your successes. Looking how far you’ve come is a key part to our growth – as individuals in our professional lives and our personal pursuits. Even if what you’re doing is really hard – it’s great to pause and look back. It's time to CELEBRATE!!

PODCAST RESOURCES:

Episode #19: Culture:  Meet People where They Are with Craig Loundas

Episode #2:  Step into Your Power: Dress for Your Audience with Cate Heaman

Episode #20: Mental Health: Let's Talk About It with Lauren Welkie

We don't talk about servant leadership enough; the importance of it all and how lifting others is truly how we lift ourselves.

I've had the honor to interview incredible guests this past year and I approached this interview differently.

I asked my guest: "What do you see missing in leadership today?"

Candida (Toccia) Seasock is a priceless gem and the finest example of selfless leadership. She's created a life journey unlike any other; guiding, leading and supporting everyone in her path.

And, after 55 years you would think that she would be calling it a wrap.

Quite the opposite, my friends; she's going for her PhD.

To continue the conversation with Candida, you can find her on her LinkedIn profile, where you'll see her limitless generosity.

How are you seated right now? Are you leaning on your desk or hunched over your phone?

Did you know that how you're seated can cause your body to fatigue a lot earlier in the day, essentially decreasing productivity?

Efrat Cohen, Owner of ProPostureUs shares why it's important to pay attention to your posture to avoid fatigue, discomfort, and pain.

Perhaps you haven't thought about how important your posture is until one day you feel pain in your wrist, neck or back and just thought that you were getting "too old for this." Well, perhaps we can now try something different and shift our perspective.

If you had spinach in your teeth, would you want someone to tell you? Of course you would.

Here's the real question, though: Would you return the favor?

Let's take it one step further: If someone was getting the wrong kind of attention at work, would you let them know?

You may recognize today's guest -- Joyel Crawford. She was on the show last week and she's back today to share her personal Office Flip Flop story.

Joyel and I discuss the (one) time she was written up for inappropriate "attire" and how simple it could have been for someone to just tell her.

You don't want to miss this one.

Joyel Crawford grows leaders for a living with her company Crawford Leadership Strategies.

Joyel embraced her journey with alopecia areata and most recently shared it on the TEDx stage.

She paid attention to the fire within and her calling to talk publicly about her private story. By paying attention to her message, she embraced her authenticity, which ultimately led her to feel more confident.

Isn't that interesting? We often hide behind our stories and yet when we embrace and share our authenticity, it helps us become more confident.

To continue the conversation with Joyel and to learn more about her, check out her TEDx talk and her website.

(Please note that as of the date of this episode release, the TEDx link for Joyel's conversation is not yet public -- that's how fresh her appearance is. I will update the show notes within the podcast app. Please check back and don't miss her amazing presentation on the TEDx stage!)

Jennifer Lynn Robinson, CEO of Purposeful Networking, is a resilience connoisseur. In 2008, she was involved in a near-death accident and has had to reinvent herself several times.

Her TEDx talk speaks to getting back in the ring -- she uses boxing as a metaphor and that's what grounds her. It's a beautiful story of resilience and determination.

Time after time after time she was told to try something new, to reconsider something else, to move on.

Jennifer's story is not about rolling with the punches. It's about creating a life on purpose.

You don't want to miss this one.

To continue the conversation with Jennifer, check out her TEDx Talk: "From fighting for breath to fighting for life", check out her website, or connect with her on LinkedIn or Twitter.
