A new system promises efficiency. The person learning it wonders, “What does this mean for my job?” That’s where the human side of technology begins. In Part 2 of this Gathered Glow conversation, Jackie Price and Hope Dunleavy explore how trust, relationships, and curiosity help us navigate AI and change at work. With 30 years of experience spanning accounting, IT, operations, training, and techno...

Most high-performing leaders don’t lose power in a single catastrophic choice. They leak it through hundreds of small, unexamined surrenders—giving someone else’s preference, fear, or expectation higher authority than their own internal signal. In this foundational episode of Gathered Glow, Jackie Price breaks down what human power actually is, how human systems influence your agency, and why you...

Visibility isn’t just about posting on LinkedIn or building a personal brand. It’s about making sure your work, your ideas, and your voice have the opportunity to create the impact they’re capable of creating. In this conversation, Rachel Bolton and I talk about something we’ve both had to work through ourselves: the discomfort of being seen. We talk about perfectionism, self-doubt, the stories we...

What if onboarding isn’t really about teaching tasks? After years of designing onboarding programs, coaching leaders, and watching thousands of employees transition into new roles, I’ve become convinced that organizations aren’t just hiring people; they’re hiring thousands of future decisions.

We explore what it really means to lead through uncertainty, how confidence is buil...

Okay so I cleaned my closet this week. And I know that sounds simple, but honestly? It cracked something open in me that I wasn’t expecting. Some things were easy to let go of. Clearly didn’t fit, clearly not my style anymore, easy. But then there were other things that surprised me with how much emotional weight was behind them. And I started asking myself — why am I grieving a sweater I haven’t...

Someone close to me left a job recently. They weren’t angry. They weren’t bitter. They were hurt. And the phrase they used to describe how it felt has stayed with me ever since. “You mattered when you were useful.” In this episode, we’re talking about something most organizations never think about how they end relationships. And why the goodbye says more about your culture than the welcome ever co...

Humans can survive almost anything. But sometimes we adapt so well that we stop noticing what’s hurting us.

In Part 3 of this conversation with Vascola, we explore what it means to stop shrinking, stop hiding, and fully step into the gifts you were created with. Together, we discuss fear, identity, comparison, scars, spiritual trust, and the tension so many people feel between standing out and staying safe. This episode is a reminder that your experiences did not erase your worth and your power was neve...

Part two of Dare to Believe goes deeper. We move beyond the idea of belief and into the reality of what actually holds people back from living it. This conversation explores the tension between fear and power, the difference between external forces and internal resistance, and how past experiences shape what we believe about ourselves. We talk about: * Why fear isn’t always the enemy, but how it c...

Most people think confidence is something you feel before you act. But what if that’s the reason you feel stuck? In this episode, Jackie breaks down the biggest misconception about confidence and why it often gets confused with certainty, control, and comfort.

They talk about the tension so many of us feel between knowing we are all connected and living in a world...

We’ve all heard “start with why.” And it matters, especially when you’re leading others. But for yourself? That question can keep you stuck. In this episode, Jackie breaks down why starting with what might be the clarity you’ve been missing. From relationships to career decisions to the quiet standards you live by, this is about moving out of overthinking and into direction. If you’ve been analyzi...

“Too loud.”“Too direct.”“Too emotional.”“Too much.” If you’ve ever been labeled like this… this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth:No one gets to define the full scope of who you are from a single moment. In this episode of Gathered Glow , Jackie shares a perspective shaped in real time while traveling through Japan and observing how dramatically context, culture, and environment shape w...

This week’s episode came from a quiet moment on a plane. A woman next to me turned down a cookie because it was “too sweet.”And it stuck with me. Because for most people, that same cookie would have felt like a treat. It made me think about how our taste is trained. Not just for food, but for life. The more we’re exposed to something, the more normal it becomes. And over time, we start needing mor...

They explore why success and self-awareness can sometimes complicate relationships, how leadership skills shape communication in dating, and why authent...

Some of the strongest leaders I meet are also the most stretched thin—not because they’re incapable, but because they’re carrying more than anyone sees: unfinalized decisions, unspoken expectations, conversations that haven’t happened yet, and responsibility that never turns off. In this episode of Gathered Glow, I share a simple leadership energy map: Maintenance, Growth, and Friction—and how fri...

When Calling Turns Into Branding and Growth Starts Costing You More Than It Builds We live in a culture that tells us to build in public, monetize our journey, and brand our transformation before it is even finished. But what happens when your purpose becomes something you curate instead of something you inhabit? In this episode, I talk about the quiet pressure to perform your calling, the exhaust...

Modern life is designed for maximum input. Notifications. Expectations. Noise. Emotional demands. Work. Family. Performance. At what point does it become too much? In this episode, Jackie and her guest explore the lived reality of overstimulation — not as weakness, but as data. Together, they unpack: * What overstimulation actually feels like in real time * Why competent people often receive less...

We’ve been taught to admire consistency at all costs. Show up tired. Show up sick. Show up disconnected. Show up anyway. But consistency without discernment doesn’t build trust—it drains capacity. In this episode of Gathered Glow , we challenge the idea that endurance equals integrity and explore what happens when leaders prioritize repetition over wisdom. We unpack capacity as a real, measurable...

We hear phrases like “listen with your heart” or “let your light shine” and often dismiss them as poetic, symbolic, or inspirational at best. But what if they’re more literal than we give them credit for? In this episode of Gathered Glow, Jackie explores what happens when we live too turned outward — anchored only in what’s visible, measurable, and loud — and how that disconnection affects our ene...

Looking closely can be uncomfortable — especially when what we see doesn’t match the story we prefer. In this reflection, I explore mirrors, proximity, and how my understanding of God has shifted from something distant to something much closer. This episode isn’t about fixing or labeling — it’s about noticing what feels magnified and asking whether discomfort is coming from distortion or truth. Th...
