Hurry is one of the most toxic things that will eventually run your life, unless you shut it down.  You may not even notice or realize that hurry has infiltrated your home because it's such a commonplace that the elimination of it might make you feel out of place. In today’s episode, we're talking about what it could look like if you choose to eliminate hurry in your life and in your family as wel...

"I feel spread too thin." This is a common thread that I hear across all my clients, listeners, mastermind members and really just in conversations with my peers and friends. A lot of entrepreneurs believe that with more time and success comes more peace and freedom, but there are people who have had many years under their belts and massive levels of success who still feel like they're being split...

Today’s topic might sound counterculture. Right now we live in a world where we are constantly trying to fill every moment of our own time and our kids' time with another activity, something that we can do with them to keep them entertained and happy. So, today's topic might sound like a counterculture idea, because today we're talking about the concept of enabling boredom. Enabling boredom goes d...

Today, we are bridging the gap between the two worlds - Luminary Leadership and Raising Luminaries.  My guest today is Emily Oster, an economics professor at Brown University, and a writer of books on pregnancy and parenting: The Family Firm, Cribsheet and Expecting Better. Our conversation today is all about the power of giving your kids the space to make their own choices as they develop in lead...

We are living, parenting and raising our businesses and babies in this feel-good culture.  Do what feels good in the moment, self care, self focus, do what's best for you, immediate gratification. These are the things that are being promoted and preached all day, every day on social media. But what if that was the actual recipe to degrade the possibility for the development of true leadership, whi...

I am so excited to bring you this episode! As I record, I am sitting in the most beautiful vacation home on the shore of Lake Michigan with the most incredible view.  Today's episode is all about how to plan for a visionary retreat designed to take you up and out of the weeds of your business and into either a mental and/or physical space where you can dream and envision and create and plan for th...

Today’s topic is near and dear to my heart, and that topic is around the idea of helping our kids optimize their health. This is something that gets overlooked constantly, but it's absolutely critical and directly related to their opportunities to step into their next level of leadership. In today's episode, we're going to go through some basic and simple ways that you can help your kids really un...

Today's conversation is designed to change your life.  Oftentimes, the stories we tell ourselves as leaders dictate where we go next. The good news is that we can consciously choose to identify and change those stories. And my guest today, the amazing Kindra Hall, is here to walk us through a piece of her proprietary process to do just that.  If you're feeling stuck, if you know there's another le...

Today's Raising Luminaries episode is all about helping our little leaders decipher their emotions. This is a key piece of becoming a solid leader and it might sound silly, but most adults can't do it.  So, you might pretend you're listening to this for your kids, but this episode might be for you, too.  Let's raise them up right!

Today's episode is, literally and figuratively, all about stepping into a new season.  We have officially wrapped up season one of the Luminary Leadership Podcast and we are kicking off season two right here, right now! What does it look like to consciously choose to craft a new season for your life, for your business? I believe life happens in seasons, but sometimes we get a little passive and al...

Discipline is such a key component of developing leadership.  Even as adults, we need our own levels of discipline in order to grow, evolve and stay committed to the path that we're on, but it’s especially important for kids. However, they're not going to self discipline in the early stages. They need boundaries and guidance.  When it comes to raising Luminaries, there are helpful ways to discipli...

We are living in a completely divided culture, so how do you lead in a divided world? One of the most common questions that I've been getting lately has been: How am I to navigate my business in such a polarized world? It's a bit of a bummer that we have to have this conversation, but that's just the nature of the world right now. But it excites me too, because I have the joy of leading people wit...

As entrepreneurs, we choose this path because we know that it can lead to a different way of life.  We're called to do more, we have this idea that we want to breathe life into and monetize. But, do you ever wonder whether your kids will choose this path? Will they choose entrepreneurship too? And why is it that some kids choose the same path as their parents while others tend to run in the opposi...

As parents, there's nothing that we want more than to see our kids thriving, to see what makes their eyes light up, what makes their heart beat faster, what are they drawn to.  Sometimes it's really hard to identify those things, and society tells us if those things that they feel really connected to are not aligned with conventional ways in which kids are supposed to operate, then those kids are...

Are you a dreamer and visionary but your spouse is a realist and more detail-oriented? Or vice versa, you are the detail-oriented and task driven one while your spouse is dreaming big? Well, this episode is for you if you want to learn how you can get on the same page and work together! I tend to attract a lot of dreamers, visionaries and thought leaders to my show and my content. So, if you are t...

As parents, we all want what is best for our kids. . . And sometimes, with the best of intentions, we can try to control their sweet little lives in the spirit of wanting the whole world and more for them. Sometimes, we want to hand them everything on a silver platter because we just want them to be happy, fulfilled and healthy. And I think parents who also run businesses can maybe (just maybe) be...

In today’s episode, we are talking about the incredible power of teaching through story.  Now, you might not think this is relevant to raising leaders, but it's incredibly critical in the process of imparting the wisdom that we want our kids to take into their own lives as they step into leadership.  And there's no better way to do it than through story.  So, if you feel like you're banging your h...

Discernment is a key discipline in both leadership and successful entrepreneurship and it requires your next level of wisdom. I think it’s safe to say that this is one of the most important things for you to learn how to discern, as both an entrepreneur and just a person living in our modern world: how do you know what’s a good opportunity vs. a “shiny” opportunity? Everyone loves a good opportuni...

Today’s episode is going to be a little different from our typical Raising Luminaries, but possibly one of the most important ones when it comes to raising up leaders and bringing up children who are going to step into their purpose and their calling in life.  This particular moment in history is one of the most trying, challenging, heart-wrenching divided times that we've ever had to walk through...

Would you believe me if I told you that I have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into masterminds for myself, over the last several years, and it's been so worth it?  Every single time I participate in one, there's a return on investment and that's money I've seen come back tenfold over the years. I sat for years at the same financial plateau, feeling like I was stuck in the same patterns....

Leadership is a team sport and we are committed to raising Luminaries who recognize and embody that.  We want to look at leadership development for kids in our lives from all angles that will move the dial in their development and growth.  Today, specifically, we are focusing on the power of teamwork and how to best teach teamwork to our little and big Luminaries. This is an important skill for so...
