Trust Tree Talks

Wrapping up Season Three of Trust Tree Talks, our hosts, Lisa and Elizabeth, take some time to catch each other up on how they spent their summers, share observations on some of the smaller societal changes they are seeing come out of all this mess and how that’s impacting them moving forward. They reflect on conversations with guests over the course of the season and stories that resonated with them. Thanks for spending Season Three with us!

In this episode, Trust Tree Talks hosts, Lisa Schauer and Elizabeth Holmes, are delighted to be joined by Lacey Pittman who leads Operations and Air Safety for Amazon Air. Our hosts first met Lacey back in 2018 when she was working at Horizon Air as their Managing Director of the Operations Control Center and as a Captain of a Bombardier Q400 aircraft. We loved Lacey’s rich journey from learning to fly as a teenager to navigating humanitarian flights in West Africa to moving through the ranks at Horizon Air. Catching up with her since her move to Amazon Air has been at the top of our lists. Lacey’s approach to leadership is accessible and effective. We believe she’ll have you Thinking Big, as she does, by the end of this episode.

Dr. Cynthia McNally, owner of Evergreen Women’s Health, joins Trust Tree Talks hosts Lisa Schauer and Elizabeth Holmes to talk all things women’s health. Bringing years of experience as an OB/GYN to our conversation, Dr. McNally shares her story of becoming a doctor and her evolution into a medical entrepreneur. The conversation covers topics from how our perception of aging is changing to offering wisdom for women going through “The Change” and we get real about how vaginal rejuvenation can turn your sex life around. It was our delight to talk to Dr. McNally and hear her insight into her personal evolution and the importance of true self care.

Her take on finding the opportunities available in chaos of the last year, cultivating emotional steadiness and the importance of having a plan all resonated with hosts Lisa Schauer and Elizabeth Holmes. We left this conversation with food for thought in how to keep our cups full as we navigate our next chapter.

We hope you’re as inspired as we were listening to Temple talk about how this last year has changed her and her thoughts for moving forward in 2021.
