#8 Alexandra Elle on the Avenues of Healing and the Beauty of Messing Up Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Alex Elle is the author of multiple books and journals including “After the Rain”, “Neon Soul” and “Today I Affirm: A Journal That Nurtures Self-Care.” Alex provides a safe space for healing and understanding through writing retreats and workshops and has built a social media community of nearly a million followers.
To deal with depression and explore healing, Alex found writing as her refuge. Now a mother of three children, Alex continues to use her vocation to help people find their voices through self-care practices that involve storytelling, poetry and narrative writing.
In this episode, I talk to Alex about my own pluck ups, particularly with the issue of equity and diversity. We go deep into what makes a real leader, reacting versus responding, and how to release some of the shame that comes with stumbling and messing up -- because let’s face it, we don’t always get it right.

#7 Alli Webb on Shifting From an Ego-Driven Mindset and Coming Into Your Own Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

Ten years ago, Alli Webb, took on a mission of providing blowouts in beautiful spaces — and being the best in the game! Alli founded Drybar, a salon that didn’t do cuts or color and only offered blowouts. From its first salon in Brentwood California, Drybar is now a multimillion-dollar business with a hundred locations throughout the US and Canada.
While you might be more familiar with Alli’s trailblazing success, that's only a fraction of what you'll hear in today's episode. On the show, Alli and I talk about her past insecurities as a businesswoman, dealing with imposter syndrome and how she overcame personal challenges to continue building her empire.

#6 Morgan Harper Nichols on the Perils of Comparison and Living Out Your True Purpose Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

We have often villainized social media, but knowing the artist, poet, and author Morgan Harper Nichols is an honest testament to the power of the platform to be used for good. “All Along You Were Blooming,” is an illustrated collection of poetry and prose from Morgan who has collaborated with brands like Coach, Adobe, LiveNation, and Aerie. Her MHN stamped poetry and art continue to get shared by her 1.4 million followers and beyond.
But before she found her footing, Morgan had to deal with what most of us might have experienced at some point in our lives: insecurity and thinking we’re never good enough in comparison to our peers. In this episode, Morgan talks to me about her very raw pluck ups, like not getting the songwriter career she wanted, and how she’s impacting the lives of young people through her creative work (which also involves turning DMs into profound art!)

#5 Sadie Lincoln on the Downside of Success and Becoming Better Leaders Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode shares the first(and only) interview I was able to record in person, right before the world was turned upside down by COVID-19. I look to today’s guest, Sadie Lincoln as a kindred spirit. Sadie is a Portland success story who co-founded barre3, a fitness company focused on teaching people to be balanced in body and empowered from within. In the months since we recorded this episode, Sadie has become a dear friend and trusted advisor.
In this episode, Sadie and I talked about a myriad of topics, from Sadie’s incredibly fascinating upbringing to mommy guilt and how people see and treat you differently once you’ve become a celebrated entrepreneur. We also talk about what steps Sadie took alongside her husband, who’s also her business partner, to become better leaders of their company.

#4 Ben Higgins on Turning the Spotlight Around and Doing What Matters Aug 03, 2020

Show notes

The Bachelor star and host of iHeart Radio’s "Almost Famous" podcast Ben Higgins joins me this week to talk about life post reality TV (including getting a legit award for being the ‘Most Googled Breakup’ in 2017!) More than the fame he acquired, Ben has been able to leverage his platform and recognition to do humanitarian work.
As president and co-founder of Generous International, a ‘for-purpose’ company known for its specialty coffee and merchandise, Ben is able to help fund partner nonprofit organizations. In this episode, Ben shares with me some of his anxieties and fears running his own business, the value of honest conversations amongst men and how he’s finding other financial resources to keep doing good in the world.

#3 Randi Zuckerberg on 90% Failing and Cultivating Vulnerability Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

Today’s guest is entrepreneur and investor whose last name you might recognize, Randi Zuckerberg! Creating Facebook Live and winning two Tony Awards as producer of Hadestown and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! are among Randi’s many accomplishments.
In this episode, Randi gets honest about her failed ventures after leaving Facebook. She’ll also talk to me about cultivating vulnerability, her unlikely journey in entrepreneurship and how she’s pursuing her calling to inspire the next generation of business leaders as CEO of Zuckerberg Media.

#2 Jo Saxton on Evolving Faith and Getting Unstuck Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

Jo Saxton is an author, leadership coach and the host of the podcast “Lead Stories: Tales of Leadership and Life.” Jo was born in London and is the daughter of Nigerian parents.
In this episode, Jo shares how she went from aspiring journalist to pastor -- and how her evolving faith led her to what she is doing now. She talks about how her multicultural upbringing shaped who she is, and how she’s now raising her biracial children. Jo is effervescent, warm and honest — and if you’re feeling a little stuck, I hope Jo’s wisdom and energy transcends and gives you the nudge you need.

#1 Elizabeth Gilbert on Breaking the Spell of Fame and Trusting Your Own Intuition Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

On our first episode, I talk with a personal hero and truly an icon in the literary world, Elizabeth Gilbert! "Eat, Pray, Love", the # 1 New York Times bestseller that catapulted Elizabeth to success, sold over 12 million copies and was adapted into a film starring Julia Roberts in 2010. In our conversation, Elizabeth and I talk beyond the accolades she's received and the dizzying fame she found herself in. In fact, that's only a fraction of what Liz openly talks about in this episode. We discuss her unique childhood, the heartbreaking rejection and crippling self-doubt she experienced and the power of trusting your own navigation system.
