"I've spent 17 years in technology with most of it in a state of denial, overwhelm and exhaustion. I knew this wasn't the life I wanted. I loved the idea of building things for people. I always have. The engineer in me wanted to use products to make people's lives better. However, I found myself at companies like DoubleClick, Google, DialogTech. All focused on advertising and helping marketers, which wasn't quite hitting my desire to make the lives of people better.

I found myself as the VP of Product Management and failing to get pregnant. I was more miserable and overwhelmed than I had ever been before, even when my health was at its worst in my 20s. I knew something had to change. I knew it was time to follow my heart and go after my dream of being a life and leadership coach.

During one of the women groups at my company, the speaker we brought in kept mentioning her coach. I took it as a sign that I needed to make the step to get into coaching.

And so, I started my journey to becoming a life and leadership coach and changing my life in the process. People now comment on how much more relaxed I am and happy I look. I've found things that I had lost over the years. A renewed connection to the universe and spirit. A renewed appreciation and love of my body. And so much more!" ~ Jamie Martin

Dr. Gretchen Schmelzer, PhD has worked hard for twenty-five years to "change the conversation about trauma, growth, and development for individuals, groups and organizations."

As she says on her website, "Healing From Trauma is Possible - Healing is Brave - No One Heals Alone."

Shannon Giordano https://serendipitysocialmedia.com/ thank you for introducing us to each other!

I consider this interview and conversation to be one of the most important episodes covered in the series I'm doing here, "Women in Strong Leadership."

Visit the episode notes for the link to Gretchen's website, and there you'll find articles, blogs and videos including the March 2020 interview on CNN's Anderson Cooper titled "How to cope with anxiety and stress linked to coronavirus pandemic."

This episode "could" be considered a bit of an update to that conversation.

After listening to this episode, and when you find it useful because I'm sure you will, please share it with others you care about, family, friends, or co-workers. It's important. And please pick up her book: Journey Through Trauma from her website.

Trauma and "What We Can Do Now" is What Has My Attention.

This episode is time-sensitive and is a PSA for Tomorrow's Women, a non-profit organization headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico that empowers young Israeli and Palestinian women to create change in areas of conflict.

So if you like what you hear, on Saturday, July 31st, 2021 you'll have the opportunity to hear directly from the 2021 campers, speaking live from their unprecedented camp taking place in the Middle East near Bethlehem. And if you're so moved and want to support this work, please consider making a donation of any size at TomorrowsWomen.org.

I'm joined today by the Director of Tomorrow's Women, Tarrie Burnett, and two campers from the 2021 camp who at the camp Saturday, July 31st will be joined by young leaders, sharing stories of peace amidst the recent violence.

In this episode, Tarrie mentions my involvement in podcasting the 2006 monologues performed at the beautiful Lensic Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had recorded 6 episodes from that evening.

Towards the end of this interview, and after our goodbyes at about the 32-minute mark, you'll have the opportunity to hear the monologues of several young women leaders from that 2006 camp.

At the time I was working with Tanya Taylor Rubinstein and Camille Adair at Project Lifestories, an organization that was brought into the camps to help the girls write and perform their stories as monologues. I'd been podcasting for about a year and took the opportunity to record 6 episodes of the monologues.

Saturday, July 31st @ 9 am PDT / 6 pm Jerusalem Time.

This virtual event is free and open to the public. Please consider making a donation in support of our fundraising goal of $10,000 for the evening. Proceeds will go directly to the Young Leader program and additional training opportunities for these brave young women.

You may register for the free event here https://tomorrowswomen.org/media-and-events/

Today Rebecca Le Vine will show you as an employee how to move out of "magical thinking" and into action and learn to love your Mondays.

Rebecca and I met at Mary Cravets Watch Us Thrive networking calls which, if you're looking to spend time with quality people, I highly recommend you go to WatchUsThrive.com and sign up to receive notifications.

Now most video versions of the podcasts are in the blog at WhatHasMyAttention.com.

What needs to be different, better or more? To gain freedom, expression, and reward.

Most of us need a plan.

Ask yourself, what have I learned from my COVID experience? Ask:

What did you learn? What do you want? What are you here to give? And how can you make that happen?

And that all comes into strategy moving out of "magical thinking" and into action.

If you've been following me for a while, you know I've been doing a series of conversations with "Women in Strong Leadership." Those conversations will continue.

But today I wanted to share a conversation about podcasting which I had with Sam De Santo, my creative director at my podcast creative agency Imagine Podcasting https://www.imaginepodcasting.com.

I bring this to your attention today because so many people have been asking me about podcasting, what it is, if they're interested, how to get started.

We'd like to share with you "Why Podcast" and 8 points we feel worthwhile to know, and why I continue to produce podcasts for clients even after 16+ years.

You may even experience a few "Aha moments" along the way.

This is the 2nd in a series of Women in Strong Leadership. Here we discuss several enhancements to coaching by leading with love.

It's interesting to me, and there's more on this topic to come, as the ground is fertile here. It has my attention and is important to me and others as the business landscape changes to a more humane business culture with women leading this in strong leadership and coaching often referenced by the work of Brene Brown and Simson Sinek, partners in this revolution.
