The Balanced Lady Boss

There are many aspects to our wellness that get public attention. The one area that doesn't is our sexual wellness and how this affects our ability to lead. Why do we shy away from this conversation?

We explore this as well as what its like to lead a company that focuses on this. In this epic, I talk with the CEO of adult sexual wellness retail stores Lovers. She talks with us about her journey as a woman in leadership and different experiences that she's learned from. 

Join us as we explore an important conversation about sexual wellness and how persons are coping during the pandemic.

It's such a relief to know that we can have it all! This is one of the values of the Balanced Lady Boss movement; sharing tools and resources with our community so that we can all create the life of our dreams in every area a.k.a. having it all.

In this reflection, I share the gems that will undoubtedly get you looking at your life and celebrating all the ways you have it all!

Dona Sarkar is your all around badass lady boss! Not only has she had a successful career at Microsoft, but she's also mastered the stage at the Tedx level, published a few books AND designed her own line of clothing! She shares her secrets to living, loving and leading well with very specific things that work for her time and time again.

Proven methods not enough? Well Dona also shares some of the low points of her life, the epic fails (as we like to call them) that she overcame through using her personal mantra and having her textable tribe on speed dial... among other genius tools.

There is magic and clarity to be found in catastrophe and chaos. These things don't seem to go together, but in the stories that provide us with the most insight and inspiration, we often find that they co-exist. In this reflection episode, I share a method you can use to create this clarity for yourself without having to necessarily go through a major conflict or catastrophe.

Achieving epic #success and living a fully expressed life does NOT have to look like climbing a corporate ladder that's been placed in front of you by an archaic process or person. Nor does it have to mean all work and no play...even if while you're at play, you end up with a brain injury. 

My conversation with Kristina was both inspiring and thought provoking. We explore how she has created and climbed a lattice of success as her boardroom journey evolved from a variety of experiences that seem totally disconnected.

It only gets better when we delve into Bedroom and Bliss where Kristina openly shares how her brain injury allowed her to more fully access her authentic power and lean into living her life on a deeper, more soul-filled level.

For the season kick-off we're joined by our certified leadership development and energy mastery coach. Stacey talks about the three guests who used the catastrophe or conflict they experienced as catalysts for their greatness. She also compares this to things in her life that she struggled with that could have derailed her also but instead set her up for Epic success.

With Coach Marlon, Stacey vulnerably shares her most current anxiety challenges by taking the couch to discover what shifts she needs to make so she can let go and access peace of mind.

For this Women's History Month I am highlighting the unsung heroins that make up the majority of what we consider ordinary life. In this episode, I talk with Kamilah Broomfield, a single black female executive who lives and works in Atlanta with her teen daughter... that she parents on her own. She shares the defining moment that shifted her life and also some tips on how other women like her can navigate the space that she occupies.  

We may not and like it but we all have to do it at some point in our careers. Working with persons that we don't trust or like. This is an often times challenging area for many people and for women, something that may be an emotionally challenging thing to experience everyday. In this episode, I offer 15 different #bossmoves you can try to deal with mistrust in your work environment. Just doing the episode was therapy for me! I hope it helps you in some way to find a place of compassion for those you work with who may have hurt you or may not share the same values that you do.
