12. Your Anti-Burnout Strategy

It’s so important for you to understand that you don’t need to run yourself into the ground trying to be successful. It’s okay to rest and feel refreshed! Tune into this episode to learn some very practical ways that you can prevent burnout as a successful leading lady. I recently read In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado . What I loved about this book is that it makes clear that you will never be called upon to give anyone more grace than God has already given you. Isn’t that powerful? As a high-...

11. How to Show You Care

Ready to dive into some listeners’ stories about when people went above and beyond to show that they care? If so, tune in for this amazing episode! You can do for one what you wish you could do for many. I want you to feel confident in your gifts and free to love others, and I think that’s exactly what this episode will inspire you to do! To say that you care is one thing. To show that you care is quite another. With that in mind, I asked my community one simple question about their fondest memo...

10. How cancer created clarity

Has your life ever been interrupted by a tragedy or something that you didn’t see coming? Surprisingly, the most trying seasons of your life can turn out to be your biggest blessings in disguise.

9. How to know when it's time to persist or quit

Today we’ll be talking about winning and quitting. You’ve probably heard that “winners never quit,” but the truth is that the best winners among us quit all the time. Surprised? Ready to learn more? Tune in! Here’s what I mean: winners quit things that aren’t working, that are draining them, or that aren’t in their zone of genius. It’s absolutely okay to pivot. I want you to really think about what you’ll take into the new year, and what you’ll leave behind. You have the freedom to do that, and ...

6. The secret that changes everything

So, what’s my secret? It’s two chairs. If you’re not familiar with the concept already from the excellent book 2 Chairs by Bob Beaudine , this probably sounds a little cryptic, but let me explain. You set up two chairs in whatever place where you have your quiet time. These chairs should be facing each other, as if you’re setting up to have a meeting for someone (because that’s exactly what you’re doing). You sit in one of the chairs, and then you allow the Spirit of God to sit in the other. The...

5. Are you truly a pro?

Are you truly a pro? Your immediate answer might be “yes,” but let’s explore a little more deeply. At what point in your career did you become a pro? I’m careful with that word, because the way I see it, none of us has truly arrived yet. There’s always something to learn, no matter how successful we are and how many wins we have. Instead of saying I’m a pro, I like to say I’m a pro at learning! After all, constantly learning is a requirement of being a pro. I asked this question of my audience, ...

4. Lessons learned from my business journey

Now, today's podcast is super special and near and dear to my heart because about maybe two-and-a-half months ago, I sat down, had some quiet time, and just really began to write down some of my top lessons learned from my business journey. In fact, it was on my birthday not too long ago. I began to write as I celebrated my birthday, I looked back on all the ways that God has protected, kept, comforted, and led me in the way that I should go. I know that's so true for many of you listening. For ...
