094: How the Enneagram can increase our self awareness to help us get out of our own way with Tracy O'Malley

I have a confession to make: I’m kind of a sucker for personality tests. I’m definitely the person who will take the bait and click to see what Disney princess I am, if the link pops up in my Facebook feed. About a year ago a friend recommended that I take the Enneagram test, and I can honestly say that this particular test has been the MOST helpful in understanding how I’m wired, and how to leverage my gifts to make the impact I know I’m meant to make. Today’s guest is my dear friend and expert...

Developing a healthy awareness of how you’re wired and strengthening your emotional intelligence are in my opinion two keys to being truly unstoppable in business or in life.

I was teaching a group of fellow entrepreneurs about the strategy we have used to completely sell out the PW event every year for the past th...

084: Why age is irrelevant when chasing your passion and how sharing our stories with others can save us with Fitness Pro and Podcast Host Helen Fritsch

I believe that our age isn’t so much a number, it’s a MINDSET. I haven’t talked a lot about this topic on the podcast before, but I’m always looking for and surrounding myself with examples of women who are challenging what society wants us to believe is possible in our 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond--women who are reinventing themselves, starting new businesses, going back to school (or performing hip hop choreography at NBA games...if you’ve heard me talk about my love for the Golden Grannies) When ...
