We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping! (Did that wake you up!?)

Sleep is critical if we want optimal health and well-being...so why is it so hard for so many of us to get optimal sleep each night--consistently? Are you getting more restful sleep during this pandemic...or is it wreaking havoc on your sleep schedule?

A glimpse into successful leaders suggests there is something to be said for early risers.

Have you ever noticed how many times a day you apologize to someone? The number may surprise you! And how many of us are NON-APOLOGISTS!?!? Let's dig in and try to disarm the deep-down anger of those non-apologists! Learn ways to APPROPRIATELY apologize, and how to stop meaningless apologies from flitting about your day. Social rules versus hurtful behavior is an easy way to categorize the apologies and learn some new words that convey a pardon rather than a full-on-but-empty apology. Release yourself of the extra baggage of saying you're sorry.

TALL GIRLS UNITE! She's here! You will not be silenced after listening to this episode with Keisha Shields...podcast host (and tall girl and over-achiever extraordinaire!) of  the new Podcast: SHE WILL NOT BE SILENCED! Katie and Keisha (wait that sounds too good...will Shannon be replaced !?!?!?)...to talk about the expectations we all somehow get stuck in--how to pull yourself out and be THE AUTHENTIC YOU in work and in your LIFE. The BADASS You. The UNsilenced YOU. The UNAPOLOGETIC YOU.

Keisha Shields is the Leadership & Business Adviser that women executives and leaders turn to when they want to finally let go of other people’s expectations of what their life should be and show up authentically in every way, with zero apologies. (Did you hear that ? Z E R O Apologies!)

Having worked in the C-Suite as both COO in corporate and CEO of her own company, Keisha specializes in how stigmas, stereotypes, grief and trauma can keep high-achieving women leaders from using their voice and their power to build the legacy, success and wealth they want, on their terms. BOOM.

Gaslighting.

Sound intriguing? More like--you need to RUN if you listen to this and think YOU are being gaslight-ed.

Official definition: manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. Yikes.

Listen in as Katie and Shannon help you figure out the signs of gaslighting and how to keep the crazy away.

Katie and Shannon also watched Dirty John (Netflix & USA) to get a vivid glimpse into the mind of a gaslight-ER.

Grit. You've either got it or you don't.  Good news is, we did the research for you and you can always find more grit! Finding your passion, the Law of Attraction, finding your purpose in life--these all require a certain amount of GRIT in addition to the skills and motivation. Do you have the courage and strength of perseverance to achieve your goals and knock down any barriers in your way? Yes?! Then you've got grit! Katie and Shannon discuss the characteristics of grit and how we can all benefit from being a little more gritty. Don't let obstacles or challenges stand in your way - bulldoze them with your character and grit-tendencies! You got this!

Back by popular demand, marriage counselor Sarah McKenzie joins Katie to share the power of manifesting your thoughts and success stories of the Law of Attraction.  Do you have THE LIST? What is it that you really REALLY want--in love, in your career, in your path...? Write it down! Listening to Sarah, we cannot help but embrace and engage the Law of Attraction and the  power (seriously!) of manifesting (i.e. WRITING DOWN) your deepest desires.

And sometimes, though we are given what we wished for, it turns out NOT to be what our soul desires! And that's okay! You can shift your thoughts and edit your list!
