When the disquiet and unease of turbulent times weigh heavy on our hearts, can opening ourselves up to joy provide respite from the loads we carry? Ingrid Fetell Lee, designer and author of ​Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, joins Jerry for an exploration of how the experience of joy can serve as a balm in times of crisis. In this episode, Jerry and Ingrid define joy (and how it can be differentiated from happiness) and consider the role it plays in our lives. Ingrid describes how humans are hardwired to find joy and underscores the extraordinary ways in which it serves to combat stress and fortify resiliency in times of adversity. Ingrid reminds us that times of stillness can broaden our capacity for finding delight in ordinary moments, and how those small joys can sustain us in arduous times.

When it comes to confidence, feeling A-Ok with showing vulnerability, and trying to avoid the sneaky snares of Imposter Syndrome, we often feel at odds, torn between the parts of us that say, "Who do you think you are?" and the parts of us who know who we are. Self-doubt and inadequacy can creep in and color the most assured parts of us at times. But, what's really at play here? We know it's an inside job to keep ourselves clear-headed and attuned with our inner knowing, regardless of what the world throws our way in terms of perceptions, biases, and double standards. How do we, as women, stay in our own bodies, hold fast to our own truths, and not view ourselves through the eyes and expectations of others in the world-at-large? Who do you choose to be? What life do you want to lead? In this third episode of our Women Conversation series, Reboot Co-founder Ali Schultz joins fellow coaches Ann Mehl, Heather Jassy, and Miriam Meima for an exploration of how imposter syndrome grips women, the masks they feel they need to wear, and all that gets in the way of women feeling their inherent enoughness.

In this episode, Jerry welcomes fellow author Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler to the podcast to explore her latest book: Optimal Outcomes: Free Yourself from Conflict at Work, at Home, and In Life. In this dialogue, Jennifer shares how tensions in her own life propelled the desire to discern the ways in which emotions like grief, anger, fear, and sadness manifest in times of conflict. Jerry and Jennifer consider how disagreements can trigger feelings of shame, and how attempts to safeguard ourselves from those feelings often get externalized as blame towards those with which we are in conflict. They highlight how turning to wonder (in conjunction with compassion and empathy) when confronted with conflict can bridge the gap of misunderstanding and acknowledge that not all conflicts will come to a resolution, sharing some helpful practices for breaking the conflict cycle.

For our first fresh conversation of 2020 we're releasing the next installment in our Women's Conversation series, a collaborative discussion sparked by our coaches who identity as women, on what women face in work and in life. In today's episode, Reboot co-founder Ali Schultz is joined by fellow executive coaches Heather Jassy and Ann Mehl for a dialogue centered around motherhood and fertility, and working through it all. Together, Ali, Heather, and Ann (who are both mothers of two) address some of the singular challenges women face when it comes to family planning and share their own unique experiences as mothers in the workplace. We hope you'll enjoy this conversation which serves to tackle some of the questions our clients work through such as, "Is motherhood right for me? When is the right time to start a family? How do I manage maternity leave and navigate the return to work?" and much more. *Please note that this episode contains explicit language and may not be suitable for young ears.

Tracy Lawrence, Co-founder and CEO of Chewse, joins Jerry talk about authenticity, leading from the heart and on the power of embracing the lost and disowned parts of ourselves, the parts in her shadow. For Tracy, it's not only about being there for the little girl who was bullied in middle school, but also about owning her very own inner bully. Reclaiming that part of herself will not only impact her approach to the latest company experiment but it also might affect her own leadership and bring her and her company deeper into alignment.

In this episode of the Reboot Podcast, we welcome professional ultramarathon runner Dylan Bowman. After an explosive season of personal successes on the race circuit, Dylan shares how an abrupt series of injuries and unexpected setbacks rattled his perceptions of control and precipitated questions about identity and self-worth. Conversing with Jerry, Dylan expands on how the obstacles he's faced have provided the opportunity for reflection and personal growth. Dylan recognizes that talking honestly and openly about his adversities lessens his feelings of loneliness and opens his heart to the salve of community. Jerry emphasizes the power of wounds and implores Dylan to remember this period of pain and adversity and allow his experience to broaden his capacity to extend compassion to others. As a final offering, Jerry proposes how working with feelings around attachment and grief could benefit Dylan on his journey of radical self-inquiry. Leave us a review on iTunes!
