"Taking Imperfect Action" - 122 Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

In episode 122 of Lead with Love, I'm challenging myself to do something I always tell my community to do.

Take Imperfect Action

I had a summer flu that kicked my butt to the moon and back. Being out of commission for 2 weeks threw the little momentum I'd gained right out the window. Instead of hustling in high gear, I was hibernating with Zicam, antibiotics and fluids.

I felt so guilty, and before I knew it, I found myself in that spiral of badgering myself, overthinking and questioning everything.

Isn't it crazy how a small set back can make you question everything that you're doing?

So to get out of my head and back into motion, I'm going to take my own advice.

What you'll hear (and don't want to miss!)

What to do when life throws you a curveball and you get off track
What can happen when we only present the "polished" version of ourselves to the world
How to truly express ourselves and serve in a bigger way
An example of the way one of my clients recently took imperfect action and a special challenge I have for each of you

"How to Balance Growth and Sustainability" - 120 Jun 27, 2018

Show notes

In today's solo episode, I want to talk about how you can build a business with intention and not just rebuild what you just left.

Maybe you've exited a toxic company culture that was not a fit and you started your own company to lead a team in a new, inspiring way.

Or maybe you're like me and your body of work is evolving into something new. You've had a heart whisper calling you to the next chapter of your journey.

Or maybe you run your own business, but it feels like it's running you, and you know something has to change to reach that next level of growth. Because you are so over the overwhelm of overworking.

I help high impact women grow their businesses in a sustainable way that does not compromise their health, relationships, and sanity.

And what I've noticed with my own clients is they struggle with three things.

1. Clarity. Identifying the direction they're moving in and what next steps to take to make it happen.

Overwhelm. Doing all the things all the time without asking for help.
Isolation. Feeling disconnected from themselves, their vision and a community on the same path.

Some things I talk about are…

:: A trap we can all get caught in when it comes to running our businesses

:: What the first step to balancing growth is

:: Action steps you can take now to figuring out what it is you really want

:: Why working harder and longer isn't the answer - and what to do instead

:: The 3 A's for clarity - are you doing them?

:: What communicating stronger boundaries can do for your life and business
