On this episode we discuss what I believe to be the common denominator of success. The thing that all the people who make it big have in common. What do you think that is? Hard work? Talent? Passion or great connections? I believe it’s this: They are RESILIENT. Which, for most of us, is a skill we get to build. Here to help us do just that is Erika Rothenberger. She uses her degree in Civil Engineering and Masters in Business Administration in her full-time career as Director of Performance Systems for the large national utility contractor, Henkels & McCoy. She runs two female empowerment networking groups in her community, is the host of the “Grit,Grace & Glitz” podcast, and is a captivating keynote speaker. So she’s busy, but I need you to hear me – she’s resilient.  As she shares, resilience is less about sucking it up or muscling your way through it, and more about adapting, learning, growing and recovering well. It’s about bending, but not breaking. Like what you heard?

This podcast explores the detrimental effects of overthinking on women's confidence and the importance of taking action. It provides examples of overthinking and offers a three-step process to move from worry into action. The host also shares personal experiences of overthinking and the power of action in overcoming it. The podcast emphasizes breaking down big goals into smaller steps and seeking support to break the cycle of overthinking.

“Owners act and think differently than employees.” While that statement certainly applies to career and business, I want to go on record in saying that it applies to life and relationships too. An ownership mindset has advantages, creates success, and transforms your life – in every aspect of it. Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge, Inc. a fast-growing manufacturing and technology company, joins me to talk about ownership mindset and personal responsibility. Under Kerry’s leadership, StoneAge has experienced double-digit growth, year over year, while transitioning the company’s ownership structure to an ESOP, ensuring that all employees share in the success of the company through employee ownership. Kerry is ALSO a dynamic, sought-after speaker, a podcast host, an author, blogger, and contributor to Forbes, Entrepreneur, and other major publications. It starts with you, of course – an ownership mindset couldn’t possibly start with ANYONE else.  First, you get to model it. And like attracts like, so when you choose responsibility and ownership you’ll attract and be attracted to the people who value it (and probably lose patience for those who don’t). While there are many important mindsets, an ownership mindset tops the list! Like what you heard?

We’re a few weeks into the new year, so how are your resolutions going? If the answer is anything but GREAT, this episode is for you. Because there’s a huge segment of people I want to acknowledge – those who make the resolutions and then don’t follow through, for whatever reason. And my concern is less about follow through, and more about the beat up, guilt, and shame that often comes along with it. My theory as to why many of us DON’T follow through is that whatever intention/goal/or resolution that was set was probably too big of a pendulum swing. This episode is for those of you, like me, who have very little “totally figured out”.  May you find YOUR best place for your pendulum to land and may you accept and maybe appreciate all the paradoxes life brings – like less is more, commitment creates freedom, and the more you try to please everyone, the less pleased everyone will be (especially YOU). Some things may be black or white - but in most cases, we live in a world of pendulum swings and paradoxes! Like what you heard?

I don’t think I’ve interacted with a single woman who isn’t experiencing stress at an uncomfortable and unhealthy level. I’ve become so used to being stressed that I’m not sure I even recognize it anymore. I need my Oura Ring to point it out for me, and I have taken HeyFreya’s stress test to get more insight into how my body is managing, or not managing my stress. I don’t think you or I were meant to live with this much stress! I’m joined by Dr. Rebecca Heiss, a stress physiologist who is dedicated to helping us overcome our instinctual limitations, so we can live with less stress and more happiness. Her research has been designated “transformative” by the National Science Foundation and it is waking up audiences around the world. As an author of the acclaimed book “Instinct” and a highly sought-after professional speaker, Rebecca has found her calling in helping others recognize the power of biological applications in their lives. Rebecca’s “fear(less)” message inspires hope and actionable insights to train our brains to work for us, rather than against us in times of change and uncertainty. Fear less. Not fearless. De-stress. Not distress. How about that? Like what you heard?
