Jun 30, 2022•21 min•Ep 244•Transcript available on Metacast Some of you know that I was a reproductive rights activist, advocate, litigator, and academic before I became a coach.

This ruling is a violation of the rights of...

Jun 02, 2022•47 min•Ep 240•Transcript available on Metacast It would be nice to think we can leave capitalism at the office when we go home for the day.

Apr 07, 2022•46 min•Ep 232•Transcript available on Metacast We often hear platitudes like if its meant to be, it will be easy, or if it feels hard, maybe its not meant for you.
