Shameless Leadership — Government & Organizations
Shameless Leadership

Welcome to Shameless Leadership! This show is for women, transgender people, non-binary folks, and allies who are committed to advancing their leadership and the leadership of those around them. In this space, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. Our mission is to help you foster these feelings within your own circles of influence to build trust, psychological safety, and a culture of belonging.
In each episode, we dive into essential topics impacting women in leadership – everything from shutting down your inner critic and imposter syndrome to overcoming perfectionism to using your voice in new ways to advocate for yourself, your ideas, and other folks carrying marginalized identities. You’ll hear practical tips, effective strategies, and inspiring stories that will not only enhance your leadership skills but also broaden your perspective to become a more confident, thoughtful, and empathetic leader.
Our stories come from people carrying identities who are often underrepresented, underestimated, and excluded. By sharing their experiences, we aim to provide you with invaluable lessons that will transform your leadership journey. We are thrilled to have you join this community of Shameless Leaders who are actively creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can intentionally lead through a more curious, compassionate, and inclusive lens.

282: Taryn Perry: How To Be A Shameless Coach And Influencer Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

Taryn Perry is a Shameless Mom of 4 and a 6 figure earner as a Beachbody coach. She became a Beachbody coach 10 years ago to prove the infomercials were a big fat lie and she lost 25 pounds and built a whole new career, replacing her 6 figure commercial real estate salary in just 3 years. Since then she has worked with multiple MLMs and in multiple fitness spaces as a Turbo Kick instructor, a CrossFit coach, a Boot Camp coach and a Core de Force instructor. She recently added nutrition credentials to resume as well. She never stops showing up for herself (at 4am) or her business, which has taken her to the top ranks of Beachbody and landed her on QVC with Tony Horton.

I’ve known Taryn for years and I’ve watched her do more in her MLM than any other woman I know. Given how many moms I know test the network marketing waters, I had to ask Taryn to come on the show and share her secrets.

Listen in to hear Taryn share:

How she built her business on connection and relationships, not through sales
The power of consistency
How she manages the naysayers
What her exact paychecks have looked like over the last 3 years
Her secret sauce to making a magical career in a network marketing business

279: 4 Ways To Make More Time For Yourself Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

A recent conversation in our Shameless Mom #everydamnday Facebook group stopped me in my tracks.

One Shameless Mom posted that she only got a couple hours of time to herself each month. And that her partner thought this was an appropriate amount of time – he didn’t see why she might need anymore.

I found this disconcerting.

But more disconcerting was the chorus of moms who commented saying they too didn’t get much if any, time to themselves on a regular basis.

MAMAS.

This is NOT ok.

Time to yourself is essential. Time spent serving no one but you is crucial.

Sacrificing regular time to yourself is sacrificing your true self and your basic need to cultivate your identity outside of the roles of mother and wife.

Whether its taking a bath, going out with girlfriends, getting a massage, sitting alone reading in a coffee shop, going to book club, taking a photography class, joining a knitting circle – you need time just for you.

And this time should not be a gift from your partner. This time should be a requirement of your relationship.

In this episode, I dig into these 4 steps to getting more time in your life:

Make it a requirement, not a reward
Ask for support, not permission
Work in small doses #everydamnday
Opt out and unscheduled whenever possible

277: 17 Ways To Protect Your Kids From Predators Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

I often tell people that my “mommy podcast” is not about momming. It’s no about how to potty train your kid or get through sleep training. It’s generally NOT parenting advice.

Except now.

Because I will shamelessly declare that there are a few instances in which I will use my platform to give parenting advice. Protecting your kids from predators and sexual violence is one of those instances.

A few weeks ago I released an episode titled, “How To Not Raise A Rapist.” After that episode, I got a number of messages asking, “What about our daughters? How do we protect our girls from predators.”

I immediately knew I needed to create this follow up episode. And this episode is not just about protecting your daughters. It’s about protecting girls and boys from predators.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

17 tools to protect your kids from predators
6 reasons victims don’t report assaults
6 things every parent should know about predators
The reality of people who perp on kids and the exact behaviors they use to build trusting relationships before they victimize

I connected with Katie at an event after some light stalking… She had the most magnetic energy and I knew I wanted to connect with her. We ended up chatting and I immediately felt like I found a new friend. I am so excited to share her with you.

Listen in to hear Katie share:

How motherhood exploded her universe in unpredictable, expansive, dynamic ways
How she created her Mompreneur Mission Statement and what she included in it
How she has reframed and renamed “mom guilt” so it doesn’t exist in her world
Why it’s a myth that you have to make less money in motherhood
When and why you should push pause, get quiet, and take a timeout
How transparency and sharing helps us turn our struggles into strengths

275: 4 Ways To Let Your Freak Flag Fly Oct 15, 2018

Show notes

Like most women, I spent a lot of my life trying to blend in. I wanted to be the same as all the people around me. In fact, I hated that I had red hair and freckles for my entire childhood. I didn’t like looking different.

However, today, as a 42-year-old woman, mom, wife, entrepreneur, I LOVE standing out. I love being my own unique person. I love being recognized for what makes me different. I love my red hair and freckles (and I get super offended with certain skin care companies say they have creams to minimize/lighten freckles – WTF?!? Not cool.)

I’ve come a long way in owning my differences, embracing my oddities, and sharing my true self. And the result has been magical – as now I attract all the best people into my life.

When I was trying to blend in I had a lot of relationships that were NOT satisfying. Sometimes I felt misunderstood and like I needed to hide parts of myself.

No more.

Now I let my freak flag fly and the people I attract people have many of the same values as me, and often the same interests (Real Housewives, entrepreneurship, fitness, personal and professional development, mental health awareness). I actually build friendships around geeking out on common interests instead of pretending to like what someone else likes. And, it’s SO MUCH BETTER. Who knew???

Listen in to this episode to learn 4 ways you can let your freak flag fly and how flying your freak flag will change the dynamics of your relationships.

273: How to Do it ALL FOR YOU Oct 08, 2018

Show notes

I’m guessing someone at some point told you something like, “If you take good care of yourself, you’ll be so much more able to take good care of others.”

Can we just call BS on this?!?

First of all, you are allowed to take good care of yourself because you damn well deserve it, not because you need to serve others better.

AND…

When is the last time anyone ever told a dude to take good care of himself so he could better serve others?

Ummmm, never.

You wear a million hats and serve others in a million ways.

But if you don’t serve yourself first, you won’t see the beauty in any of it.

You’ll be anxious, bitter, overwhelmed, exhausted, and uninspired to use your best gifts to their full capacity.

When you show up in any role do it FOR YOU.

Prove how strong you are FOR YOU.

Show how patient you are FOR YOU.

Let yourself cry FOR YOU.

Be assertive with your voice FOR YOU.

Share your time and energy FOR YOU.

Laugh out loud FOR YOU.

Become an artist FOR YOU.

Run a marathon FOR YOU.

Quit your job FOR YOU.

Go for the promotion FOR YOU.

The idea that you should take care of yourself so you can better take care of others is bullshit.

Take care of yourself because you are a hero, friend, mother, daughter, visionary, QUEEN, ruler, woman who damn well deserves to take care of yourself FOR YOU.
