Stressed out? Who hasn’t been?! Stress seems to be an accepted penalty for the pursuit of anything worthwhile. But what if you could learn to identify the distinct types of stress – and how to respond to it in a way that works for YOU? Join me and Dr. Crystal Frazee as we explore how conditioning and role models set us up for unbearable stress and how getting back in tune with our bodies is the key to stress resilience. Listen in and let us know what resonates!

Best-selling author Matt Schlegel is committed to developing highly effective, style-diverse teams and giving them the tools and strategies to tackle challenges that are seemingly impossible. Principal of Schlegel Consulting, Matt started his career as an electrical engineer and soon realized that successful project outcomes depend more on leading people than leading electrons. Matt discovered a powerful system called the Enneagram and used it to develop a novel set of tools, strategies, and applications for team effectiveness that he uses in his consulting practice and shares in his book Teamwork 9.0.

In this final episode of the 3-part series on the Human Project Framework, I share the “Reflect” phase of the framework. I discuss how reflection is so much more than a replay of things you’ve done, and I outline the benefits of intentional reflection. I then discuss, step by step, a reflection approach I use when looking at the progress of my own human projects. Finally, I walk you through what’s next. Reflection has its greatest impact when it arms us with information to adjust our plans and ignite our continued action. If you’re feeling a little scattered or uninspired, reflection might just be in order. I invite you to get curious!

The Human Project Framework consists of three areas – Plan, Act and Reflect. In this episode, part 2 of the 3-part series, I walk you through the “Act” phase of the framework. I share how to establish the big goals that lead to the vision you created in the planning phase. I then walk you through what it means to take conscious, aligned action by building habits. Finally, I share mindset shifts to consider as you create momentum. If you haven’t moved on your vision since you outlined your plan, this is your sign (along with the tools) that you have everything you need to act. Let’s go!

I sat down with Dr. Nicole Garneau to talk about the pings she’s followed that have led her to a new career, a clearer purpose and even to better mental health. Listen in and let us know what resonates!

Dr. Nicole Garneau: Named one of the top five most influential young professionals in Colorado, Dr. Nicole is a scientist, entrepreneur and keynote speaker who uses a marriage of science and soul to explore the human condition. True to her motto, “No shame, no guilt, just more good days,” Dr. Nicole’s goal is to demystify and destigmatize mental health through speaking, online courses, social channels, and her weekly mental health boost.

In this episode, I renew my promise to continue being a light, and I have the privilege of introducing you to an amazing light in this world, Christina Heath. Christina is a strategic alignment coach for project managers, Christina Heath helps PMs approach work and life holistically, so they can be happier, healthier, more strategic leaders, and develop the lifelong skills needed to create (and maintain) an energizing, inspiring career.

At some point in our lives, we each will be in a position to lead. Leading others starts with leading oneself. And no matter whether you consciously choose to follow a leader, or you ultimately choose to lead others yourself, there are 4 pillars that will help you remain true to yourself and create the greatest connection with others. Listen in, and share your experiences with us!

This episode is a slightly different groove than what you may be accustomed to from The Encourage Project. While there is definitely a story of someone with a vision to take impactful action, the story hits so close to home (literally), it might shock you. I encourage you to get curious about where you live – and what else might be “living” with you. Listen in!

Kathi McCarty is a mom, activist, and founder of Meth Toxins Awareness Alliance. After experiencing a serious health issue, Kathi could not return to her position leading a large bank branch, so she decided to rent her family home as a means to offset her medical costs. What seemed like a sensible solution turned into her worst nightmare when her beautiful home was rented to a meth head by an irresponsible and unethical property management company. The tenant turned her house into a meth lab, contaminating her home while putting her neighbors and her entire community at risk. Kathi has turned the mess into a mission to raise awareness and educate people about the insidious presence of meth toxicity in our homes and lives.

Have you ever felt that something in your body wasn’t quite right? Maybe you went to a doctor and were told you needed to make lifestyle changes, or you would wind up needing medication. If you’re like I am, getting curious about what you could possibly do to help yourself didn’t immediately cross your mind. Join me as I talk with Liz Morgan about how we fill our bodies is so much more than quieting our stomachs. It has the potential to heal us – and the planet.

Liz Morgan is a functional nutritionist on a mission to transform the food culture into one that makes people and ecosystems vibrant and healthy. As an environmental lawyer, Liz realized that policy solutions for healing the planet would be doomed until we learned how to heal ourselves first. Liz is the founder of Liz Morgan Nutrition, a nationwide tele-wellness clinic, and she educates and empowers her clients to understand and honor the true needs of their bodies and brains.
