Welcome back to another episode of Stories Matter! Helping Leaders Transform Lives. In today's episode, titled "Faith & Trust," we have a special guest, Joan Bowling, who will be sharing a personal story about leadership in the business world.

But before we delve into Joan's story, we'll be discussing the importance of support and how it can transform our lives. Support is not just about asking for help, but also about allowing ourselves to receive it.

Cultural factors and unconscious behaviors often hinder our ability to seek or accept support. Our guest suggests replacing the word "support" with "love" to encourage a more vulnerable and open approach to asking for help.

We'll also explore the concept of showing up for others in difficult times, and the significance of knowing when to lead and when to step aside.

So grab your headphones and get ready for another inspiring episode of Stories Matter!
