The Edges of Mighty Women with Lesley Michaels Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

Lesley was one of the first women to break through the glass ceiling in the “old boy” industry of oil and gas. How did she do this and what did she learn as a result. What is feminism in today's world? How are women lifting each other? How is the structure of patriarchy slowly being dismantled?

Lesley Michaels was born to feminism. Lesley’s body of unique life experiences has provided her with a first-hand understanding of the daily struggles faced by women of every race, culture, and sexual orientation. Her recent book, On the Shoulders of Mighty Women, is a tribute to the power and grace of those who came before and the ones who will follow, the warriors and the fallen. This book is one more way Lesley chooses to amplify the voice, energy, experience-based understandings, and compassion of women fighting for equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Lesley facilitates virtual programs on topics ranging from Build a Success - Mindset with Unwavering Clarity, and Building Strategic Alliances of Women. Lesley also hosts the weekly podcast; Women We Should Know, and she will be delivering her TED talk in 2022, Lift One With You, As You Rise.

GO THROUGH SOMETHING TO GET SOMETHING WITH EARL B. HUNTER JR. May 30, 2022

Show notes

We are talking about - breaking down barriers to create more inclusive communities and stronger relationships, having difficult conversations and what the current industry and lifestylers can do to help create more unity. All this and so much more.

Earl B. Hunter, Jr's story is powerful. After a high-flying career as an executive in global sales, Earl went camping for the first time in Western North Carolina and was suddenly “all in.” He took a cross-country camping trip with his son + after 20 states and 49 campgrounds, Earl was shocked (and a little appalled) at having encountered only ONE other black family camping. Black Folks Camp Too was launched on October 10th, 2019, on stage at the Outdoor Economy Conference in Asheville, North Carolina where Mr. Hunter was the event’s Master of Ceremonies.

The mission of BLACK FOLKS CAMP TOO is to remove fear, add knowledge, and invite MORE Black families to the outdoors to build memories and strengthen family bonds. MORE folks in the outdoors mean more folks accessing greater health, both as consumers and participants of the outdoor lifestyle, AND, a growing community for land and water preservation.

The creation of BFCT was not only to inspire more Black folks to get outside but to bring awareness to the reasons why more Black folks have not been participating in the outdoors.

Show notes

Rick is an outstanding storyteller and his insights and vulnerable presence will inspire and uplift you!

Rick Prashaw is the quintessential example of "don't judge a book by its cover". Talk about the edges he has and continues to walk and the boundaries he has pushed.

Rick Prashaw has had a diverse career as a journalist, Catholic priest, (left to marry, divorced), executive director of the Church Council on Justice and Corrections in Canada, and Author. (and so much more!) His son Adam inspired him to be an advocate for transgendered human rights and organ donorship.

His first memoir, Soar, Adam, Soar is based on the life journey of his remarkable son, who tragically passed away in 2016. His latest and second book, Father Rick, Roamin’ Catholic, a faith memoir, was published by Friesen Press in February 2022. I could NOT put his book down - Father Rick, Roamin' Catholic - exquisite writing, storytelling, and finger on the pulse inspiration! (I'm not even an ex-Catholic!)

Impact Vs. Adoration. What do You Want Your Legacy To Be? w/ Jen Szpigiel May 16, 2022

Show notes

Do you know what you want your legacy to be? What steps can you take to feel fulfillment today rather than chasing future happiness?

Becoming Iconic is the invitation to step into the new paradigm of leadership and empower women who are ready to revolutionize the way they show up in their lives and businesses forever while welcoming in pleasure, joy, and abundance.

In this episode, Jen and Amy discuss:

The shift in leadership and what it looks like now.
How play & rest have an important role in your legacy.
Why looking inward can make you a better leader
How making little shifts in your daily routines can have an impact on the things that truly matter.
Shifting from doing all the things to taking a step back and truly enjoying all that life has to offer.

Quote from the show - ''What if legacy was how we lead today and how we felt today and the way we greeted people today and the way we cared for ourselves today? And that was in fact what it was meant to be all along?''
