A Leader’s Purpose: Navigating Career and Life-Defining Moments with Clarity, Confidence, and Purpose for High-Level Leaders Ready to Lead with Purpose over Pressure

Do I have an episode for YOU!  I have been thinking a lot about time lately. And only part of it is because my oldest is going to be a freshman this year and it hit me HARD!  I know our goal as a parent is to guide our kids over 18 years and then set them free, but WOW it hits you when you really look at it.  Anyway, I digress...TIME! Time is the one resource we cannot get more of. It is the unive...

There is so much BUZZ going around right now about the Enneagram. It's not a new tool- in fact, it has been around for thousands of years. In today's episode, I wanted to share just a few reasons why I use the Enneagram in my life, with my kids, and in my coaching. Personal reasons and ways that my life has been enhanced because of this amazing tool.  Now, it is not used to replace the Bible, God'...

I feel like I make things more complicated all the time. I realized it's part of my way of staying stuck, giving myself justification for not moving forward. What about you? Guilty? In this episode, I talk about why it's worth the effort and we can make things simple. I also talk about how being uncomfortable is not bad. Many times when we are comfortable- that's when we feel stuck or like there i...

From a young age, we talk about what we want to be when we grow up. We talk about what we are going to do and what we want...BUT rarely do we stop to look at who we want to be. As we grow and become an adult we somehow stop dreaming of what drives us. We focus on "adulting" and stop looking at who we were created to be. In today's episode, we dive into what it means to own your space.  What would...

Funks happen. Whether or not there is a trial or hardship behind them. I experience them even when good things happen (why the heck is that? Probably another way the brain is trying to protect me).  When you learn to say yes to yourself every day you are able to avoid a deep dive into funk-ness. When you learn to say yes to yourself you can make progress and move forward when you are feeling a lac...

Hey Hey! Today we are wrapping up our series on Fast Tracking Your Healing. These are proven steps that have helped me and many others really stop feeling overwhelmed with the idea of healing, and helped us get "unstuck" and move forward to what we want. This isn't just for those who are grieving a loss- but for anyone who wants to move forward quickly and with intentionality. In today's episode,...

Wouldn't it be great if we could control our thoughts which in turn would control our actions? What if I told you it was true? What if I told you that you can achieve what you want by renewing and rewiring your brain? In today's episode, we dive into our ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) a little more. We talk about the importance of renewing our minds (you know it's true because it's in the Bibl...

Over the past few weeks, I have been giving you the steps to healing faster. Some say you aren't able to heal on a timeline and though I do believe that is true...to an extent...I do believe you can take intentional steps to speed up the process and craft a future you want. You don't have to sit in the raw pain of a broken spirit. You do not have to sit with your loss and be helpless or even feel...

I hope you are enjoying this series. So many people ask how they can heal faster and stop hurting quicker. These past few weeks I have been diving in to the things that TRULY helped my healing, my purpose, my confidence...all the things. Now in today's episode-I'm being a little tongue in cheek...you'll have to listen in to find out more. BUT it should give you a lot of relief. It should give you...

We all go through things that are really hard. We go through trials, refinement, loss, divorce, separation, loss of a job, loss of confidence, loss of identity...you name it I bet you have experienced it. What if I told you that there is a way to fast-track your healing? To laser focus your core needs and understand how your needs turned into a fear that shades your grief? What if I told you that...

Ok! I know people say (therapists, coaches, friends...all the people) say you can't fast track your healing. But I'm telling you that it's possible. You can take the most direct route through (not around, not under, not over) THROUGH your circumstances and get to the other side of healing faster. I want to share my secrets with you. In today's episode, I give you the first step to fast-tracking yo...

I have been on this grief journey for over 10 years. Actually, my grief story started a lot longer than 10 years ago. My story started well over 10 years ago...and yet I'm still sharing it. Why? Because it matters. Because it gives others permission to share. Because it normalizes life experiences. Because it allows me to understand my needs in it just a little bit more. Are you still telling your...

I think it is safe to say that we all want to heal. We want to feel better. We want to move forward. We want to live. I think it is also safe to say that it is a scary thought to release the raw pain and choose a life of healing, a life of restoration, and a life of joy. But to have what we want we have to take a step. In this episode, I talk about how to figure out what first step to take. How to...

Hey Friend!!!  Welcome back to another episode. I have a good one for you. Today I share some of my thoughts about freedom. I pose some questions for you. I share some of my thoughts on the choice to heal. I didn't do everything right in my healing journey. I struggled a lot (this is hard for the Enneagram 1 in me to admit- not because it's not true- but because before I knew better- I tried to hi...

Life is messy. Lol, I know that if you are listening to this podcast you already know that- if anything you have just been following my messy life journey. I'm sure you can't relate yourself (oh you can...lol ;) ). Anyway, life is messy and we are constantly looking at how to get out of where we are. What if that is the wrong question? What if we aren't supposed to endure it or just get through it...

Today is a really emotional day for me and my family. Today marks the anniversary of my husband's death.  It marks the grief struggle and journey I have experienced is now 10 years old and still going strong. I went with a little different episode today and shared a portion of a coaching session with my friend Lynlee.  She was actually coaching me on a block I have been experiencing. She was helpi...

I am plagued with perfectionism. It's not even like I believe I can be perfect. I know it's an illusion...yet it still stops me. What could become possible if you put down the stronghold that keeps you from your purpose? That's what today's episode talks about...you may not suffer from perfectionism (I'm an Enneagram 1- it's what I do best ok- attempt to appear like I have it all together- when I...

Life is hard! I know I have said that before. Circumstances and trials are the most common mentors in life. We go through what life throws at us...it's freakin hard! So hard! Sometimes unbearably hard! But what if you got to decide your hard? What if you got to decide- or even better today- what if you GET to CHOOSE your hard? In today's episode, I talk about two big choices you have. I talk about...

So many times we categorize who we are by what we do. We label ourselves by the hats we wear and the results we produce. What if your identity was so much more than that? What if your circumstances don't get to determine your identity, but rather YOU get to decide who you want to be in the midst of it? In today's episode, we talk about what helps us create our identity and the choices we have surr...

We are all on a journey whether we are intentional or not. In today's episode, we talk about the journey we are on...how where we are now is probably the most important question we need to answer. You may need to listen to this episode a few times (at least 2 times) to sit with the questions I ask at the end. Don't short-change yourself- commit to answering them and saying YES to yourself. Get vul...

We all do it...ok...I won't speak for you. I know I do it. I give myself legitimate reasons to not grow, to not heal. I give myself legitimate excuses to stay right where I am. I give myself outs.  Well, no more my friends! God does NOT want us to stay where we are. Living "overwhelmed" or "stuck" should not be the norm!  Let's take the brave step to identify what is keeping us right where we are...

There is nothing worse than going through something that really shakes you to your core- and then someone minimizes what you are going through because someone's story is "worse".  I talk all the time about grief- it's what I do. Grief comes with SO many experiences than just loss of a loved one. Losing a love one is SO SO hard for sure.  There is no question. But we don't know what other people ar...

In today's episode I share some stories and personal revelation about gifts of grief. I open up a little about my life and some of the crazy experiences I have had that have been sponsored by grief and how I handled them (some with grace- others not so much!) But we have to get out of our own minds and our own way when it comes to grief.  We have to allow the exprience to shape us, mold us, teach...

Come on now...you know we have ALL said it. "I want to ... and when I get the MOTIVATION, nothing is going to stop me!" "When I FEEL like it, I'll start." We are all plagued with the feeling of wanting to be motivated. We have dreams, goals, desires, wishes, needs...all the things but we stop ourselves because we don't FEEL like it or we aren't motivated. What would happen if we did it anyway? Is...

Hey Friend! Have I told you lately how thankful I am for you? Well I am and I do not say that lightly. I may not have met you but I bet that because you are listening to this podcast you are looking for something. I bet you are looking for possibilities and hope or at least curious about what possibilities and hope could look like.  I bet you know deep down in your "knower" that there is more wait...
