Ever been in a tough conversation with someone that ended up going south? Don't you wish you had known how to calmly stand your ground back then in order to redirect it?

Uhm, yeah me too!

As leaders situations like this are inevitable, and knowing how to handle it is what is going to set you apart as the leader your people actually want to follow. That's why today's episode of The Beyond Leadership Podcast is all about navigating those difficult conversations with the expert herself, Julie Crenshaw.

Julie Crenshaw is a Conversation Coach and author of the book, Navigating & Avoiding Awkward Conversations. She teaches on a wide variety of topics, from basic socializing and small talk skills to dealing with conflict, to having conversations on difficult subjects such as illness and grief. As a doctor of physical therapy and a board-certified specialist in geriatrics, subjects related to healthcare, patient rights, and caregiver burden are close to her heart. Her mission is to empower others to feel confident in their ability to express themselves and their needs/desires more clearly and to be able to handle difficult situations and conversations with ease. She believes that with a strong foundation of compassion, boundaries, and a healthy mindset, anyone can learn to gracefully connect with others, no matter the situation.

What do you want your life to look like in 10 years? Does this vision align with how you are living your life today? or does it not?

It's easy to get derailed as a mompreneur, trust me I've been there. So how do we manage to stay on track? It's by DISCOVERING YOUR PRIORITIES.

Join me as I walk you through the 3 steps to discovering your enduring priorities and how to stay on track. We're diving deep into the best way to determine priorities, how to juggle everything and still make progress, and how to stay focused. Having these tools in your toolkit is going to make you a better leader and get you to achieve your goals with ease -- you with me?

What are you going to start prioritizing today? And what's the reason you haven't been? I'd love to hear your thoughts! If you share on social media, tag #beyondleadershippodcast, and be sure to tag me (I'm @saramaeski on Instagram).

I'll be back next Thursday with another amazing guest but if you're looking for a way to connect with like-minded and like-hearted leaders in between episodes, check out our Beyond Leadership Community on Facebook.

Until next time... LET'S GO!

You are more than just "a mom" or "a wife".

It has become way too easy for women to solely define themselves by labels given once they get married and/or have kids. It's 2022 for gosh sakes, what better time to start pushing past these societal norms of what being "a wife" or "a mom" means and redefine ourselves according to what actually lights our soul on fire.

If you've ever felt like you lost yourself to keep up with how everyone else expects you to act, you're going to want to listen in to today's episode with special guest, Jess Copacia.

Jess is a wife, mother, and pediatric nurse practitioner. After years of checking off all the "life boxes" instead of feeling happy, she found herself overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, resentful, and more unhappy than ever before. Spending years worried about following the expected path and putting everyone else's needs before her own, she lost who she was and what she wanted out of life. It was this ultimate low, she decided to do the hard work, and start questioning the labels that had held her back for so long. Through that journey, came the realization of the power of living a life free of expectations and one aligned with the soul and ignited a passion to empower other women to do the same. In 2020, she started her coaching business and became the host of the 'Mom Guilt Is BS' Podcast.

To connect with Jess, follow her on IG @jesscopacia or check out her website HERE.

How is your relationship with your team? Do you share the same mission? Is communication easy... or do you find yourself repeating the same directions over and over again?

These are questions that we should all be asking ourselves as leaders, and if you have to think about the answers to these questions too hard, odds are these areas could use some improvement!

On today's episode of The Beyond Leadership Podcast, Breanne Surfin joins me to dive deep into leadership mistakes that are so often made, and how we can avoid them.

Breanne has been in network marketing for decades, with multiple companies & teams. No matter where she is, she's always on top. She and her family of four travel full time in an RV, and she still somehow manages to keep a successful network marketing business and help other women learn how to build successful teams themselves. Breanne has had years of experience with many top tear leaders, she's seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to leadership.

My very first BLP SHORT! You're going to be getting two episodes of the Beyond Leadership Podcast every week this year -- a ten minutes or less Tuesday short and a regular 20-40 minute episode on Thursdays.

Today's first short, on my 35th birthday, recaps 34 and the non-goal things I'm doing in 2022 to make 35 my best year yet.

So, you can feel it in your bones that you are meant for something bigger, right? You just know there is more to life... but every time you come close to making a real change you revert back to what you know. Why do we do this? It may all boil down to one limiting belief stuck in your subconscious that's telling you that you're not worthy of having what you desire. Sound familiar?

In today's episode, we're going to bring awareness to and address this belief head-on!

Vally has been on her own self-worth journey for over a decade and recognizes that each day is a work in progress. For the last seven years, Vally has invested countless hours mentoring the women in her organization to believe they can have everything their hearts desire while also immersing herself with like-minded individuals who know and believe we, as women, are meant for more. Vally is the very embodiment of the love and support that we all crave so badly and I know her message of 'you are worthy of everything and more' is going to bless you today.
