Here’s what you can expect: Confidence gets DEFINED (and it’s probably not what you think it is) We debunk the myths and misconceptions about confidence I share some example of where and why YOU being confident will matter - to your life, your work, your relationships, and so much more!

On this episode of TIWW we talk about how to recognize the busyness trap for what it is, so we don’t get lured or accidentally fall into it, AND about getting ourselves out of it once we’ve fallen in.  I’m doing this episode for YOU, but I’m also doing it for me so I can listen to it those couple times a year when I forget everything I know and revert back to those “busyness”, “do more” tendencies of mine. I’ve invited Teresa Vozza, leadership expert, certified executive coach, former HR Executive with over 20 years of corporate experience, and 2023 Women of Influence nominee, to join us. Teresa is a passionate advocate for leading authentic, drama-free, and resilient lives and teams, as she works with leaders in the executive ranks. As you might imagine, she knows a lot about that busyness trap. What if all people want is more of YOU? What if the way to BE more is to DO less? Woman’s work is NOT about busyness, it’s about recognizing and sharing YOUR gifts – and you can’t do that from inside a trap. Like what you heard?

Is productivity just about getting as much done as possible, or is it about getting the right things done in the best way? HOW do you KNOW when you’re being productive? Maybe a better question is how do you differentiate from being productive vs. just being busy? I’m excited to have Amber De La Garza on the show to help us answer these questions! Amber has more than a decade of experience helping small business owners maximize profits, reduce stress, and make time for what matters most by elevating their productivity! Amber is a sought-after coach, trainer, speaker, writer, host of the Productivity Straight Talk Podcast and creator of Leverage Lab® and she’s here to help us choose productivity over everything else. Others will always have advice about what you should and shouldn’t be doing, what’s the most valuable use of your time, and where you should be spending it… But there’s a difference between an expense and an investment. Like money, you can’t get time back once you’ve spent it. But also like money, you CAN invest your time into things with the greatest ROI, with the hope that it will appreciate and generate something even greater. Being busy (but not productive) is an expensive way to live. Being PRODUCTIVE is an investment in YOU, your future, and what matters most. YOU ARE THE ASSET.

(To take advantage of the FREE opportunity to give and get support on social media thru 12/31 click here: https://nicolekalil.com/apply and make sure to choose the “Likes Only” option) It took me a long time to not only understand my introversion but to appreciate it. To stop trying to be like the extroverts around me and recognize that being an introvert not only was part of who I am, but it’s actually one of my superpowers. And because somewhere around 40-50% of the population identify as introverts and close to 60% PREFER introversion, you either ARE an introvert too, or you love or work with one. So, we’re going to love on some introverts on our podcast today. Andreea Sandu is a Certified High-Performance Coach and author of  “The Introvert Who Could.” She currently splits her time between writing and helping creatives achieve their goals and considers herself a “visible introvert” on a mission to change how others perceive this personality type.  It’s my belief that the world needs more listeners than it does talkers, it needs more deep connection than surface level, it needs more thoughtful than it does charismatic, it needs more pauses than full steam ahead, it needs more 1:1 than social media posts, and it needs ALL of us, connected to our authentic selves, bringing our unique gifts to the world- REGARDLESS of whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, ambivert, omnivert or I-don’t-give-a-fuck-vert. Know who you are, own who you’re not, and choose to embrace all of it. Like what you heard?

In this episode we’re going to take a close look at the actions, inactions, distractions, decisions, indecision, negative self-talk,perfectionism, imposter syndrome, ALL the stuff – and ask, “WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO OURSELVES”? We’re going to get curious about all of our self-sabotaging ways. Here to help us make sure we don’t turn into self-sabotage hoarders is Kamini Wood, who helps high-achievers heal their relationships with themselves by identifying limiting beliefs and reasons for stagnation, as well as overcoming self-doubt in order to live a fulfilling professional and personal life. She is the creator of AuthenticMe® and CEO of Live Joy Your Way - a coaching company serving those who have seen success through old-rooted, traditional metrics, reestablishing their relational self-awareness. A best-selling author, Kamini holds certifications in a large variety of modalities including high-performance coaching, conscious uncoupling, breath work, meditation, and belonging, just to name a few. As always, you are the decider of what you do with your life – and I mean that in EVERY way. All I want is for you to make sure you’re not the one getting in the way of your own goals. Here’s what I do know – self-sabotage will only ever be unpaid work and we’ve been doing it for far too long – sabotaging YOURSELF – is most certainly not woman’s work. Like what you heard?

We’re going to talk about LOVE today, and I think it’s important that I tell you I might be a little jaded. Do I believe in love? YES. Do I want all of us to experience more of it? HELL YES. Do I think love is patient, two become one, it excuses and justifies everything, all decisions should be based on it, and that it needs to be romantic love that results in marriage in order to be considered real love? Absolutely not. Given that I clearly have some energy about the topic, I’ve brought in an expert for all of our benefits. Arielle Ford is a celebrated love and relationship expert, author, and speaker whose mission is to help people Find Love, Keep Love, and most importantly, Be Love. An award-winning author of eleven nonfiction books, including the international bestseller, THE SOULMATE SECRET: Manifest the Love of Your Life with The Law of Attraction, Arielle has been called “The Cupid of Consciousness” and “The Fairy Godmother of Love.” Her debut novel, The Love Thief, is a roller-coaster ride of love, betrayal, and unexpected transformation with a juicy revenge sub-plot and a surprise ending. And she’s here to talk with us about love. I think we’ve received enough messaging about finding love, what love is and what it isn’t, so I’ll say this: Love YOURSELF, so you know what it feels like to love and be loved, and so that nobody can come along and offer you less and trick you into thinking it’s more. Knowing what it is to BOTH love and be loved. That is woman’s work. Like what you heard?

We’re going to talk about some of the big compensation myths that might be holding YOU back and share some alternative approaches. I’ve invited Kelli Thompson back to the show, as she shares my passion for confidence, and is focused specifically on how confidence impacts your paycheck. She has coached and trained hundreds of women to trust themselves, lead, and create a career they love. She is the founder of the Clarity & Confidence Women’s Leadership Program, a Stevie Award winner for Women in Business—Coach of the Year, and the author of Closing The Confidence Gap: Boost Your Peace, Your Potential & Your Paycheck. Determining your compensation almost ALWAYS involves more than just one perspective. It’s a discussion, a negotiation, an agreement.  But ADVOCATING for what you believe you’re worth just takes YOU.

You likely know that October is breast cancer awareness month, and I’d be shocked if you don’t have someone you love, whether it’s YOU or a sister, mother, family member, friend, or colleague that has faced it. And like so many things in life, unless you’ve experienced it personally, at a deep and intimate level, it’s hard to know what to do, where to turn, and how to get the help – both medical, and otherwise – you need. It’s also hard for loved ones to know what to do, what to say, and how to support. I’ve invited Virginia Carnesale, breast cancer survivor and founder and CEO of Stage to join us today. In 2018, Virginia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through her 18-month journey to wellness, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was an opportunity to better serve other patients and their loved ones with the knowledge, sisterhood and style tips that can only come from those who have walked this road. So in 2022, with her very successful 20-year marketing and merchandising background with companies like Nike, Gap, and Saks Off 5th , she put her ideas into practice and launched Shopstage.co, a resource, support system, shopping and wellness destination to see women all the way from breast cancer prevention to deep inside her experience, with respect for, and recognition of, this uniquely personal journey. Prioritize your health above your busyness, get your mammograms, encourage the women you love to get theirs, support the research, volunteer, donate, do the walks, wear all the pink, and BE THERE for your people. Most importantly, let’s make sure NO woman ever has to face breast cancer alone. Like what you heard?
