Why start your year focusing on problems needing solutions, when you could be embracing a mindset of growth and positivity?

Instead of setting New Year’s resolutions, I invite you to go into a more transformative approach on the first day of the year. It's about shifting from 'doing' to 'being'. 

By setting a word of the year, we can break the cycle of forgotten resolutions and start a journey towards true fulfillment and self-discovery.

Tune in now for an episode that could change the way you view the new year. Embrace the power in the pause, and let’s make this year one of intentional growth and remarkable achievements.

Join us in this inspiring discussion: Ditch New Year's Resolutions & Do This Instead

✔️ Reject the notion of New Year's Resolutions. These imply there's a problem needing a fix, starting the year on a negative note. Instead, focus on a positive mindset. Resolutions have a low success rate, with only 9% of people keeping them and 64% quitting within the first month.

✔️ Embrace the concept of "being" rather than "doing." In my 7+ years of entrepreneurship experience, I’ve learned that success is more about who you are than the tasks you accomplish. Select a personal word for the year (e.g., 'faith') and embody this in all aspects of life – relationships, finances, health, and personal development.

✔️ Create a vision based on your chosen word. Envision yourself embodying this word in various life areas, like financial goals, relationships, and personal wellness. Detail this vision vividly, imagining where you are, who you're with, and how it feels.

✔️ Develop actionable steps from your vision. Identify the gaps between your current state and where you want to be. The transition from being to doing, creating actions that align with your vision and word of the year. This helps bridge the distance between intention and reality.

✔️ Set intentions around your goals, focusing on the feelings and states you wish to achieve. This approach can increase your chances of being among the small percentage who successfully achieve their resolutions or goals.

Are you in the midst of a career transition to seek true fulfillment in your professional life?

Join us in this enlightening conversation with Marlo Lyons, a career executive and team coach renowned for her resilience and adaptability. From journalism to law to screenwriting, Marlo’s journey is a masterclass in embracing change and finding fulfillment in life's non-linear path.

If you’re at a crossroads in your career or personal growth, I invite you to this episode and be inspired by how Marlo did it – all through the power of the pause.

Tune in to the full show: Embracing Change: How to Overcome the Fear of Failure with Marlo Lyons

✔️ Embracing life's nonlinear journey can lead to profound growth. Flexibility and adaptability are valuable skills to have in any life aspect. Career and life trajectories are rarely straight and often require pivots and changes.

✔️ Overcoming fear and embracing change are essential in personal development and career advancement. By focusing on what energizes and fulfills us, we can find greater satisfaction and purpose in our work and personal lives.

✔️ The pursuit of a career aligned with one's values and passions leads to a more purposeful life. Seeing the misalignment between your job and what you truly stand for can be a powerful motivator for change.

✔️ Feel the power of presence and boundaries in your daily life. Establish a daily routine that includes dedicated time for self-care, like morning exercises, and ensure that work doesn't encroach on precious family moments. Prioritizing the well-being and needs of children can significantly enhance family dynamics.

✔️ Overcome fear and doubt through self-belief. Self-doubt is the precursor to fear, and overcoming it is key to success. When you properly value yourself and your skills, it boosts your confidence and elevates the quality of your work.

Marlo Lyons is synonymous with resilience. She's a career, executive, and team coach but that is just her profession. When you dig deep into Marlo's life - you realize she lives by her trademarked saying, Life isn't Linear.

We live in a world where we are inundated with noise.

From incessant notifications we get on our devices every day to the perpetual buzz of our busy lives, the skill of attentive listening and pausing takes unprecedented importance.

We need to shift our relationship with silence. It’s not awkward – it’s a powerful communication tool that allows us to foster deeper connections and understanding.

Instead of trying to fill every quiet gap in a conversation, we need to embrace it and benefit from what it’s trying to teach us! In this episode, we’ll explore the reasons why you need to learn the art of the pause.

✔️ Build deeper connections through silence. A pause in conversation is a sign of respect and appreciation for the speaker's perspective. It gives space for their words to resonate and invites contemplation on both sides.

✔️ Reevaluate silence and recognize the weight of unspoken words in conversations. Silent moments are as significant as spoken ones. Embrace the pause not as an interruption, but as an integral part of meaningful communication.

✔️ Reframe your relationship with silence. It should not be seen as a void but as a bridge connecting thoughts and emotions in a conversation. This approach encourages a deeper level of understanding and connection when engaging with your loved ones.

✔️ Transform conversations by embracing the pause. This can significantly transform the dynamics of your relationships and communication style. In a world that often prioritizes speaking over listening, be the outlier and provide a safe, emotional space for the people you love.

Research by The National Council for Mental Wellbeing shows that 70% of adults in the United States have experienced trauma at least once in their lives.

After facing a near-death experience in 2022, author and female empowerment leader Erika Rothenberg made the choice to embrace the challenging path of resilience. Instead of staying stuck in a victim mindset, she fought hard and did the work to reclaim her power and open herself up to a thriving life – all with the power of the pause.

How can you fortify your resilience? We all have it in us. It’s up to us to let it out in the world.

Join us in this inspiring discussion: Having Audacity In Resilience with Erika Rothenberger.

✔️ Embrace the power of resilience in the face of adversity. Life's traumatic experiences present as opportunities to reflect and muster the strength to overcome. Lean into the discomfort, deal with it head-on, and push through.

✔️ The 'power of pause' is integral to resilience. Taking time to process traumatic events is about honest self-reflection. This pause allows for a transformation from merely surviving to thriving and becoming a beacon of hope for others.

✔️ Transformative insights can emerge from challenging times. When faced with trauma, growth, and wisdom often come through reflection and support. 

✔️ Triggers may not disappear, but you can learn to navigate them more efficiently. Every emotional response is a chance to build resilience. The first scars take longer to heal, but the next ones recover more quickly.

✔️ Surrounding yourself with resilient people raises your ability to bounce back. Fostering relationships that elevate you can lead to more lasting connections and empower you to overcome adversity and emerge stronger.

Erika Rothenberger manages a full-time career as Director of Performance Systems for a large national utility contractor, Henkels & McCoy—sometimes kicking off her heels and wearing steel-toed boots and a hard hat in a very male-dominated industry. 

She has started two female empowerment networking groups in her community and is a leader in the Greater Philadelphia area as a mentor and believes in lifting other women as she rises. She is a published author in “You’ve Got This, Boss Mama,” podcast host on “Grit, Grace & Glitz" and a keynote speaker captivating audiences on stages all over the United States in both her corporate and wellness roles.

I invite you to explore the transformative potential of pausing in moments of panic.

Taking a deliberate pause amidst chaos can recalibrate your energy. It also allows you to respond with strength rather than react out of weakness. Pausing acts as an emotional regulator, shifting you from heightened stress to a state of calm clarity. Making decisions after taking a pause can help you see the possibilities previously clouded by panic.

Discover more in this week’s episode – How to Manage the Panic with the Pause

✔️ Harness the power of pausing in moments of panic. By stepping back, you can recalibrate your energy, regain composure, and respond with intention instead of reacting impulsively.

✔️  Make mindful decisions during high-stress times.  The pause provides a moment of clarity, allowing you to evaluate long-term consequences. By using the power of the pause, we reduce stress and anxiety to foster problem-solving and growth.

✔️ Leverage the pause as an emotional regulator. By pausing, you reduce stress and anxiety, allowing yourself to approach situations with calmness and clarity. Pausing helps reveal new solutions and strategies, aiding in problem-solving and long-term decision-making. 

✔️ Turn panic into a tool for growth with intentionality and mindfulness. Ground yourself in the present moment through the pause. Foster a sense of stability and balance, and use mindfulness to navigate challenges.

✔️ Use panic as a cue for self-awareness. When panic strikes, it’s an opportunity to discover underlying triggers and achieve emotional resilience. Recognize the signs within our body and utilize the pause to manage emotions effectively.
