Today I’m here with my brand new friend, Jennifer Dukes Lee, who just released her newest book called “Growing Slow: Lessons on Unhurrying Your Heart from an Accidental Farm Girl.” She was previously a crime and politics reporter chasing headlines, but found that even when she left her career behind and moved to a scenic farm, her heart was still hurried.

The chances are slim that my quick answer is the right answer, and it stops the conversation instead of taking it to a deeper place. When we take one step back, we enter into a place of humility by assuming we don’t have all the facts. Taking a step back looks more like walking side-by-side with someone, and less like a transactional “bank teller” interaction. A lot of times, taking one step back is asking yourself “what is the nature of this relationship I’m in?” and approaching the conversatio...
In this episode, I share what I believe is the X factor in healing.

When I look back over my leadership and life, there’s just something so sticky about a good analogy. I love a great word picture, and this one has stayed with me for years. It originally came from a 1974 article in the Harvard Business Review which you can read here. It’s about the dynamics in a workplace where managers unintentionally find themselves creating a bottleneck, and taking on all of the problems of their team members. Picture two people coming together to engage a problem. That probl...
What is the difference between production and depression? How can you tell the difference?

You guys, the way you’ve been reaching out lately has been my fuel! It’s been quite the year, and we all need places where we can talk about the real stuff.
