Welcome to Week 2 of my special series with Krystalor Crews, CEO of Crews Beyond Limits Consulting! This week, we dive into a conversation that touches on the intersections of health, wellness, and career challenges.

After a particularly stressful career event last week, I found myself grappling with lingering emotions. Krystalor introduced me to the concept of an emotional hangover—a powerful way to understand the emotional aftermath of intense situations. She helped me unpack why this happens and how to move forward.

Krystalor also shared a personal story about a time when a leader dismissed her efforts and told her to “get bigger elbows.” Together, we explore the deeper meaning of this analogy and why it’s crucial for women to carve out their own space at the table.

We didn’t stop there—this episode also tackles the role of nutrition in supporting overall well-being and how it can empower you in moments of challenge.

This uplifting conversation is packed with insights and tools to help you navigate the intersections of health, wellness, and career. Don’t miss it!

Join me over the next six weeks as I embark on a holistic "shred" journey with my coach, Krystalore Crews! In this series, we’re diving deep into how shifts in health, nutrition, and mindset can positively impact every area of life. I’m excited to share both the highs and the lessons learned along the way.

In this first episode, I’ll walk you through my week, rating it a 3 out of 7 based on key areas: workouts, nutrition, tackling my to-do list, and discovering where my energy (not just calories!) is going each day. Krystalore brings valuable perspective, encouraging us to "flip the switch" on mindset and celebrate progress, even when the week isn’t perfect.

I hope you’ll follow along as we strive to finish the year strong, learning and growing together in this transformative journey!

Today is Day 3 of my strategic planning weekend and I spent sometime reading, digging into podcast analytics and reminiscing about times whereI’ve done this exercise for other companies. And, you know what, I’ve had somereally, really horrible bosses in my career.

Within I share a story about one of the worst I ever had …someonemy hubsters still refers to as the ‘used car sales guy’ and the way he treatedme vs. younger females and men. And, upon this reflection, I really rememberwhy I strive to be a much better leader each and every day…because I wouldnever want someone to feel the way that this ‘sales guy’ made me feel.

I hope you enjoy and only one more day here in paradise!!

Today is Day 2 of my strategic planning weekend and, well, I spent the day trying to close some loose ends and make new introductions.

I’m very real in this podcast with activities that I neededto get done to prepare for next week, follow-ups I’m behind on and, well, everything in between. Getting to the next level takes time and care …and, I’m not ashamed to admit when I get behind and need to spend part of my focus on follow-ups.

Please let me know if there are specific items you’d like tosee in this series. Only two more episodes to go !!

Thank you.
