Many high achievers and busy individuals find themselves running the ultimate "Holiday Race," trying to fit even more transactions into their already packed schedules. As a result, the end of the year becomes a whirlwind of labor and to-dos that can feel overwhelming and stressful.

In this episode, I'm sharing my ten proven and tested strategies to help you adjust your holiday rhythm in a way that truly aligns with what you value. These approaches aren't just about getting things done. They're about ensuring that each moment reflects the essence of what you want this season to mean for you.

Are you at a point where you're questioning everything about your life right now? Maybe you're feeling uncertain, like the ground beneath you is shifting, and nothing feels as stable as it once did. You thought life was headed in the right direction until it didn't. 

Stop for a moment and listen to what your inner shakedown is trying to tell you. Because here's a liberating truth: that unsettling feeling is a sign, a call for change, an opportunity to step into something greater and redefine your next season of shakeup.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I call an "inner shakedown" moment I went through last summer, how it shook things up for me and sparked deep reflection. The thing about our life's unexpected curveballs is that while challenging, they often become powerful catalysts for growth. So, if you're in the midst of your own inner shakedown, or perhaps you've experienced one before. Whatever the case, I hope this sheds light on the purpose these moments serve in our lives and how we can navigate them with greater clarity and grace.

Have you ever found yourself saying, "There's a part of me that feels this or that behaves like this, and I don't know why?" Or perhaps you've reacted in ways that even surprise you, leaving you wondering where those feelings or behaviors come from. If you do, you are not alone.

In this episode, I dive deep into unmasking these patterns of behaviors that up until now may have been viewed as an integral part of your success. I'm sharing more of the common coping mechanisms that many of us use to protect ourselves when we feel unsafe, examine how these mechanisms form, why they persist, and, most importantly, give you a way to begin to address and transform them.

Imagine you're working on a crucial project, and suddenly, your computer crashes, wiping out hours of work, or your best worker quits. Panic sets in, right? But what if you could remain calm, view the situation objectively, and even turn it to your advantage?

When faced with obstacles, many of us crumble under pressure, consumed by stress and anxiety. Yet, our ability to navigate through life's hurdles can be significantly enhanced by adopting a shift in perspective. 

In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful formula for overcoming any obstacle in your life. I was inspired by my recent trip to Italy and the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius. These principles, practiced by great leaders and innovators, can help you not only face the hurdles that come your way but also empower you to find calm and clarity amidst chaos.

Have you ever felt paralyzed by the fear of rejection or failure? These setbacks are universal experiences that often stall us from pursuing our dreams. But what if I told you that rejection could be your greatest ally in achieving your future success? 

Imagine turning every "no" into a powerful stepping stone that propels you forward. By accurately assessing what is holding you back and redefining rejection as redirection, you can unlock new paths to success and embrace every setback as a setup for something greater. 

In this episode, I'm sharing a few ways to reframe rejection and failure, featuring personalities like NFL player Robert Spillane, Jamie Lee McKern, and Taylor Swift to embrace rejections in your favor and empower you to chase your dreams with renewed confidence and resilience.

​​How do you engage in pressured situations while maintaining your best self? What do you do to manage and prevent stressful situations from negatively impacting your behavior?

In an ideal world, we don't feel pressure at all—we hold boundaries, disarm conflict, and let things roll off our back. But we know that's not reality all the time, right? We are complex creatures with emotions and past experiences that can trigger us. Whether it’s deadlines, difficult conversations with colleagues, or even complicated family matters — pressure is an unavoidable part of life. 

Of course, being self-aware is the first and foremost way to decrease our reactivity. By examining what triggers us, shining a flashlight on our blindspots and peeling back the layers, we can unlock our best selves and our best levels of leadership. 

BUT what do you do when the pressureful situation still strikes and you are knee-deep in it? 

In this episode, I'll dive into how we can handle these moments in real-time without losing control and instead become models of the behavior we most want to see in our board rooms, classrooms, and family rooms.

We’re back with Part 2 of the incredibly insightful conversation with Leslie Neugent about The Enneagram! The Enneagram can greatly improve your leadership abilities and your relationships. I always say self-awareness is our greatest advantage and that is on full display in this conversation. As you realize more about yourself and those around you, you are able to easily approach all relationships with a new level of compassion.

I know first-hand—my family and I have been able to leverage this unique personal development tool, which I share more about in this episode. But what makes the Enneagram different, how does it work, and how does it improve our relationships? We’re covering all of that in this episode with Leslie. As we did last episode, we take a look at how our perception in childhood creates our motivations and coping mechanisms that we bring with us into adulthood (and our work).

Leslie is a friend and sought-after relationship consultant and Enneagram expert! I’m so excited to have her join me for this continuation of our in-depth conversation about the 9 Enneagram types, their superpowers (or gifts), as well as blindspots for each one to be aware of.

There is, in fact, so much detail Leslie shares with us that we divided the conversation into two episodes. Be sure to catch Part 1 of this enlightening interview!
