If you've ever faced unexpected changes or struggled with finding your authentic self, this episode is for you.

This week, I sat down with Bonnie Oppenheimer, global citizen, empath, real estate recruiter, executive director of a non-profit, mom, and wife. We discussed the complexities of change, career transitions, and the power of vulnerability.

From her beginnings in non-profit education and programming to her transition into fundraising and now recruiting, Bonnie shares her story of resilience and adaptability.

Together, we talked about:

• Bonnie's multifaceted identity and journey through various careers and industries, from non-profit education and programming to fundraising and now recruiting

• The importance of finding a good fit in your career and trusting your instincts during transitions

• The realization of the value of transferable skills and how they can open doors to new industries.

Whether you're navigating a career transition or dealing with personal challenges, Bonnie's story will inspire you to take action and stay true to yourself.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we dive deeper into Bonnie's personal challenges, her journey through loss and grief, and the importance of vulnerability and gratitude in overcoming adversity.

Through countless conversations with successful women, I've uncovered consistent themes that differentiate high achievers from the rest.

Join me as we explore these transformative insights that can elevate your approach to success and fulfillment.

Here's what I've learned:

1. You Are Enough Right Now: It all begins with embracing your worth and capabilities. Success isn't about waiting for validation; it's about recognizing that you are enough, right here, right now. Let's navigate through the challenges of self-doubt together and empower ourselves to take meaningful action.

2. Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Embracing a growth mindset is crucial for continuous evolution. Successful women see every obstacle as a chance to learn and grow, understanding that failures are stepping stones to success. Let's redefine setbacks as opportunities and celebrate the journey of personal and professional development.

3. Focus on being of Service: Imagine the power of shifting our focus from self-doubt to serving others. When we approach life with a heart of service, we not only enhance our creativity but also build authentic connections. Let's explore how nurturing this mindset can lead to exceptional outcomes in our interactions and endeavors.

4. Take Messy Action: Perfectionism often holds us back from progress. High achievers know that imperfect action is better than waiting for elusive perfection. Let's embrace the courage to take messy, imperfect steps forward, knowing that each action moves us closer to our goals.

5. Ask for Help: Success is not a solitary journey. Building a support network, seeking mentors, and delegating tasks are essential for sustainable success. Let's break free from the notion of doing it all alone and embrace the strength found in collaboration and support.

These are the most common themes and lessons that have come out of the amazing conversations I have had the absolute pleasure to have had so far. If you listen to this podcast, you are likely on a journey of growth and empowerment along with me! These mindset shifts are not just strategies but invitations to embrace your full potential and lead a life filled with purpose. Let's do it together.

Motherhood is NOT for the faint of heart.

Your pre-parent life, which was previously focused on your personal needs and plans, is suddenly focused entirely on another living breathing human being!

While so much of motherhood is rewarding and life-changing, if we are being honest, it is also incredibly hard.

But, who's talking about the hard parts? All we see is blissful family portraits and matching family outfits.

According to Beth Berry, mother of four, coach and author of "Motherwhelmed", if more of us were honest about motherhood, less of us would be struggling right now.

Beth and I talk about how society has set most mothers up to fail and the transformative power of self-trust, community, and authentic connection when faced with motherhood overwhelm.

We also chatted about:

🤱The erosion of community support and its impact on motherhood

📱How social media has distorted our connection to our maternal instincts

🤝How to rebuild self-trust and tune in to our bodies

💯 What it means to embrace "good enough" parenting by prioritizing self-care, and dropping the facade of perfectionism

If you've ever felt like a failure…this episode is for you.

Every part of how we are socialized teaches us to avoid failure. In fact, we hand out participation trophies so no one has ever experienced failure or experience something hard. That leads many of us to assume something is wrong if we fail or if something is hard for us. So, we avoid attempting anything we think will be challenging and if something becomes hard, we automatically assume we are doing something wrong. We are so scared of failure and working through challenges that we forget that it's 'failure' itself that helps us grow. And, we are here for growth.

In this episode, I talk about how:

✨ We must stop avoiding 'the hard work' and start leaning into it so that we can grow

✨ We can normalize getting comfortable with FEELING uncomfortable.

✨ You are fully capable of doing hard things and growing and you learn this by doing hard things successfully

✨ It's okay to ask for help and support from those around you

Xoxo Chana

Is Conflict Inherently bad? What Does Conflict Resolution Actually Entail? Are there Conflict averse personalities and those who are Conflict Loving?

This week on the podcast I had the opportunity to sit down with Susannah Margison, litigator turned CEO of Margison's Conflict Strategy & Consulting.

After realizing that her legal career did not look like the show "Suits" portrayed it to be, Susannah left her 10-year-long career in litigation to pursue her passion; conflict resolution. She now works with clients all over the world, helping them create effective strategies for navigating conflict and resilience from major life transitions. Susannah's clients often refer to her as their "secret weapon".

Susannah walks us through how to constructively navigate conflict while maintaining your integrity and personal brand, how to use conflict to build connections and why conflict is an opportunity to help people feel less alone and take back their power.

We also chatted about:

✨Why people avoid confrontation and conflict

✨Learning to separate problems from the people

✨Taking radical responsibility for your role in the problem AND the solution
