S2 Ep 21: Building Your Resilience
12/22/2021
Light out of darkness: the theme of so many holidays at this time of year.
Know what else is all about light out of darkness?
Resilience
Resilience isn't being impervious to setbacks - it's the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Which is good, because we all deal with disappointments!
Think you're born with a set level of resilience? Nonsense. We can build that skill just like any other. In this episode, we look at 2 ways to start strengthening your resilience muscle today!

S2 Ep 20: Exploring Self-Gratitude (+ group hug!)
11/24/2021
It's Gratitude Time!
Gratitude gives us a different (bigger) perspective on our lives. It can make us feel humble, small, receptive.
That's awesome. Except when it goes too far. Then it's not great. When we have too much humility, we may not advocate for ourselves like we should, whether at work, at home, or with any opportunity.
In this episode, we turn gratitude inward, to discover how to be grateful to ourselves, by ourselves.
Does that make you feel weird or selfish? Oh then you...

S2 Ep 19: Prioritizing - First Thing First
11/10/2021
I’m going to go on record here saying that the word "priorities" plural is just messed up. The word priority (singular) means the thing that goes first.
As in, the singular first position.
Saying that we can have more than one thing in the first position is a recipe for stress and overwhelm and divided attention.
And here's a Big Truth: Our priorities aren't what we say they are, they're what we actually DO. Our priorities aren't defined by our vision boards or the goals we set for...

(Flashback Episode!) Making Friends with Fear
10/27/2021
It's the spooky season and this is a rerelease of a great episode all about Fear! No, it's not scary (I promise!), but we are going to chat about how we can use our fears productively.
Fear is there to help us - it keeps us safe and makes us alert to possible dangers, but sometimes gets so big and so all-encompassing that it holds us back in our lives and careers.
In this episode we explore:
Don't be scared to look your Fear Friend in the eye! You might find you have a lot to chat...

S2 Ep 18 (Mini): The Harvest of Your Choices
10/6/2021
Hot chocolate, pumpkin pie, and those puffy vests that people dig out of the back of their closet as soon as the weather gets a slight chill. Ah yes autumn! My favorite season.
Whenever autumn comes around, it sends me into self-reflection mode. Something about the world shedding its summer glory to rest into winter's chill inspires me to slow down and think:
How has my year gone so far? Are there things I need to change to get better results before the end of the year? What results have...

S2 Ep 17: Courage + Taking Risks
8/30/2021
What if we discovered a switch in our psyches that would turn our fears into courage? What risks would you take if your courage were doubled?
What if I told you that courage is not a prerequisite for taking risks, but a RESULT of taking risks?
Interested in learning more?
In today's episode, we explore a new way to think about courage: instead of an unpredictable emotion, courage is a muscle that we can train and build, so that it's ready to use when we need it.
New learning...

S2 Ep 16: Dealing With Toxic People - Narcissists
8/16/2021
Ever had a narcissist play you like an old ukulele? Not fun.
They can show up anywhere - home, work, social settings, and they're hard to resist (at first, anyway).
We're diving into the manipulative, self-centered world of narcissists today, to learn what they're thinking, how they interact with others, and most importantly, how we can protect ourselves from their wily ways!
Especially if you consider yourself an empathetic, loving person, don't skip this one. You'll find you're...

S2 Ep 15: Doing + Being - A New Approach to Work/Life Balance
7/30/2021
Are you trying to find more balance between your work and the rest of your life?
And does the whole "finding balance" thing just feel like part of your To Do list?
Well in today's episode, we're going to explore a new way of thinking about work/life balance, one that will lift off the ACTUAL cause of work/life imbalance.
Most of the advice out there on how to balance our lives is off the mark.
Instead of giving people the freedom to enjoy the Life part of the equation, we're usually told...

S2 Ep 14: Building Your Personal and Professional Brand
7/20/2021
Ah, personal and professional branding. There's a slew of information out there on creating your brand through your online profiles, your personal elevator speech, etc. The problem? You already HAVE a brand, whether you have a LinkedIn profile or not.
And if everyone thinks you're a pain in the butt, the fanciest elevator speech in the world won't help you.
In today's episode, we're going to look at the way our brands are ACTUALLY built, and discuss how perceptions play into our...

Influencing them, of course!

Conflict is NOT a 4-letter word!
If your reaction to conflict is either:
then today's episode is going to change your perspective (with no anger or yelling at all!) The truth is, most of us don't like the idea of conflict - we think it'll feel messy, personal, and damaging. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Conflict can be a wonderful opportunity to learn about ourselves and others around us, and it gives us a chance to make the world a better place. No really! It can! No martial arts...

S2 Ep 10: Emotional Intelligence 101: What's Love + Hate + Fear Got To Do With It?
5/20/2021
Humans are emotion-driven creatures, whether we want to admit it or not. And many of the most challenging situations that come up for us aren't based strictly on fact - they're based on feeling: managing conflicts, change, influencing others, sales, delegating. Trying to fix a feeling-based problem with a fact-based solution, ain't gonna help.
In this episode we dig into the work of Daniel Goleman, who wrote (arguably) THE book on Emotional Intelligence (EQ). He says:

The world is so much more open to remote work, to being a digital nomad, and that's fantastic! If that way of working is calling to you - great! Go for it! Bon voyage!
But there are some really important things to keep in mind. {Cue sad trombone}
One of the most crucial concerns about remote work is the lack of VISIBILITY that comes with it. And I don't just mean turning your camera off during video calls. We're talking career-stalling, Wonder Woman's Airplane types of invisibility to the...

But hey.
If someone has learned a lesson the hard way, or has figured out an amazing technique for dealing with a situation, why reinvent the wheel?
