The Elegant Warrior with Heather Hansen

The career you chose years ago was your choice, and what you make of your career today is also your choice. The choices that you make every day about your career, your relationships, your life are just that — your choice. My guest today is author Carson Tate and she's here to teach you how to master the choices you make in your career. She shares tools to help you own it, love it, and make it work...

The goals that you set for yourself are far more likely to be achieved if you also know what your intentions are. Intentions and goals work hand in hand but they are not the same thing. Today, we are going to discuss the characteristics of goals and intentions and how both are necessary to help you get what you want most. Whether it's winning a court case, earning a promotion, or getting a divorce...

Today, I want to share with you three ways that you can know without a doubt that you are making the best choices for your life. When you confidently make your choices, you confidently choose your life. I want...

Thought leader and entrepreneurial expert Kris Plachy understands how to manage anyone on anything at any time, and it all starts with o...

You can win just about anything you want. The power to win is all about elegance, and elegance starts with making the best choices every day. You make your choices and then your choices make your life. I know it sounds simple because it really is that simple. I want to share with you some of the choices that I've made in my life, big and small, that have shaped who I am today. I currently live in...

No matter how uncertain your year or your life has become, resilience is one thing we can all be certain of no matter our circumstances. My guest today is living proof of that fact. Known as the "Queen of Resilience," Stacey Copas has created a framework of resilience based on the life experience of overcoming the adversity of becoming quadriplegic at 12 years old.

How many of your life plans have changed this year? If you're like most of my clients and listeners, the answer is a lot . We are all experiencing so much uncertainty right now in work, in school, in the unknown of the future, and in caring and providing for our families and ourselves. And while the world outside of you may feel incredibly uncertain and out of control, I want you to know that you...

Today, I am delighted to finally be joined by the author of a book that came into my life at the time that I really needed it. Throughout my life, I have used different yoga and meditation practices to help maintain my mindfulness, and these practices all have one thing in common — a dedicated focus on breathing. I've discovered that when I slip in my practice, I have found myself stuck in a patte...

Today I'm sharing with you everything that I love about the ten-week advocacy course that I have been thinking and planning and preparing for, for years.

 How do you talk to yourself? Are you as kind and understanding of yourself as you are to everyone else? We know that our thoughts lead to our emotions, but what if you could change your thoughts before they had a chance to impact the way you feel? The conversations you have with your inner jury are the most important conversations you have, and the way you talk to yourself can help or hurt you as...

  Do you know what you want? Too many women don't, and even if they do, they're reluctant to own it. Setting goals is one of the most powerful ways to advocate for yourself and get what you want, but it can be difficult to know where to start. My guest today understands the most effective way for women to get together and not only talk about their goals but also go on to achieve them. Darlene Whit...

Too often we find ourselves waiting for other people to give us permission to advocate for ourselves.  We expect other people to reach out to us, to help us in our careers, or to give us what we think we deserve, but often end up frustrated because we're still not getting what we want.  It's time to stop waiting for that permission from others and to start teaching people how to treat you.  I'm jo...

I want you to learn how to overcome your own doubts and objections an...
