Setting goals that stick: New Year, new YOU! (Episode 133) Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Happy New Year! Setting goals and good intentions for the New Year works best when you take some time to reflect on the previous year and progress you’ve made. The year 2020 presented some obvious challenges, but that doesn’t mean you should toss it out as a lost cause. Check out Episode 133 for some perspective, including a two-part strategy that works for me and for many of my students in setting goals that stick, and that helps you fully own your personal development. Also, don’t miss the most important question to ask yourself as you set new goals!

As we launch this new season of She Said/She Said Podcast, I’ll be talking to guests about how they set their intentions for the New Year, and what helps them stick to their goals. Until then, have a great start to the New Year! No matter what life throws your way, I’ll be here working to share thoughts and perspectives to spark your curiosity, leave you more engaged, and hopefully even more ready to tackle the world in your own unique and wonderful way!

Mindset: the power to bounce back (Episode 132) Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

The year 2020 has reminded us of the need to try to make the best of things. For many people, the year has meant tremendous loss and setback, not to mention tremendous stress. As I reflected on the year and on some incredible conversations we’ve had on the podcast, one of the themes that jumped out was this idea of “growth mindset.” In Episode 132, I share some perspective around the idea, attributed to Professor Carol Dweck, Ph.D., Stanford University psychologist, researcher and author of “Mindset,” along with a couple of great examples from my conversations earlier this year. How we approach setback, and disappointment, can directly impact our ability to bounce back and to tap into the creative resources needed to continue moving forward.

As we look to a new, but still uncertain year ahead, I hope the lessons in all our episodes will provide you with insights and perspective to tackle whatever lies ahead.

Tips on time, and making the most of it (Episode 131) Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

This week, I’m thinking a lot about time. How to finish all the last minute holiday planning and gift buying/giving, while also trying to make sure that gatherings — even if they are virtual — are special and memorable. Every year, including this one, I struggle with a to do list that seems to stretch for miles. Couple that with my own — often unrealistically high– expectations and it can be a bit overwhelming. I suspect you can relate! As I was thinking about all of this, I was reminded of a conversation I had back in March 2020 with time management and productivity expert Laura Vanderkam (Episode 93).

Because Laura’s advice remains incredibly insightful, I’ve pulled some particularly valuable excerpts from that earlier conversation — tips and perspective that really resonated with me, and I hope will with you too!

I know your time is precious, but I think you’ll find this conversation and investment in YOU worth it! Let me know what you think. If you are listening on Itunes, please be sure to click “review” and leave a review. I’m always so grateful for your input, suggestions, and constructive feedback.

Until next time, take care!

Show notes

Ever feel like the success or accomplishment you’ve worked for and achieved might be due to nothing more than luck? You are not alone. That feeling is called “imposter syndrome,” and some of the most successful women on the planet admit they struggle with the tendency.

In today’s short form episode, I share my top five tips to help you conquer imposter syndrome, but I also provide some context for why this happens to so many of us. Hint – it’s isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

I’d love to hear any tips you have for countering this feeling, and for keeping your confidence strong! Be sure to share them with me on Instagram and tag @LauraCoxKaplan and @SheSaidSheSaidPodcast with #impostersyndrome. Take care! xo

“Love is the cure:” Dr. Donna Marks (Episode 128) Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

For many families, the holidays will look and feel very different this year. The added stress of coping with a pandemic that will either prevent us from seeing relatives, or will present difficult social situations. Not to mention the added challenges some families face navigating political divisions following a contentious election year. All of this can add to an already healthy level of stress.

My guest in Episode 128 is Dr. Donna Marks, a therapist and an expert on addiction. She’s the author of 2020 International Book Award Winner “Exit the Maze: One Addiction, One Cause, One Cure.”

When you hear Dr. Marks’ perspective on the topic — including her own story about addiction — you may see addiction (and a number of other societal problems) in a different light. And more importantly, gain a deeper understanding of what are often misunderstood underlying causes of so many of the challenges we face.

Dr. Marks’ message is one of love, hope, optimism, personal responsibility, and, most importantly, self compassion. She provides great food for the soul and at a time when many of us could really use the extra boost.

For more information about Dr. Donna Marks and for additional resources related to treatment for addiction, HERE.

**Political innovator Katherine Gehl says elections should align with free market principles (Episode 127)** Nov 16, 2020
Show notes

Corporate CEO turned political innovator Katherine Gehl tells me how growing her family cheese business — $250 million Wisconsin-based Gehl Foods — turned into a passion for political innovation. It’s an incredibly interesting story!

“Democracies have to deliver results. You can’t sustain generations of freedom without results…..when they don’t, people will reach for something else,” she says.

Katherine talks about her “light bulb moment,” and how that changed the trajectory of her work and fueled a new passion. What’s most fascinating about Katherine’s approach is the emphasis on free market principles and the value of competition, including in politics.

Katherine developed the “politics industry theory” on which her work today and her book “The Politics Industry” are based. But there is so much more to this conversation. Typically, my interviews are not as long as this one. When you hear it, you’ll understand why I thought Katherine’s thoughtful perspective was worth the additional time.

In addition to her work on “political innovation,” she also talks about her career and a topic that can be particularly difficult to navigate — taking credit for your work. Katherine says when we don’t do so, it can have a direct bearing on future success, and on the work itself. Listen to the episode to hear her incredibly powerful, thoughtful, and practical perspective on this topic. She’s also quick to reinforce that it is our own responsibility to take credit when we’ve earned it!

Let me know what you think of the episode! I would love your feedback on this or any of our She Said/She Said Podcast episodes. And, please be sure to send along guest ideas! I’m grateful that you joined us today and hope that we have given you new insight to create opportunities for yourself and others.

A quick favor, please consider leaving us a nice review on Itunes! It’s a great way to share your feedback on the content, and to help others find us. Another great way to help others find us is to share us with your friends and on your Instagram stories! I’d be so grateful! As always thanks for tuning in! xo

**Making the world a better place one “little word” bracelet at a time! Adriana Carrig, CEO/Founder, The Little Words Project (Episode 126)** Nov 09, 2020
Show notes

It’s often the simplest ideas that have the most inspiring impact! Adriana Carrig, the founder and CEO of The Little Word Project, took an idea she had for inspiring kindness and created a pay-it-forward jewelry company one kind, thoughtful word at a time.

In this episode, Adriana and I talk about how being the target of bullying actually inspired the original idea, and how she has scaled the business from a dorm room operation of one, to a full-scale direct-to-consumer and B2B company of 25. We also talk about weathering covid, how to pick partners and influencers, and what she learned about herself from the business and customers’ stories.

We also talk about plans currently underway for expansion including a non-profit she launched called The BLOCK, and the impact she hopes to have more broadly.

There is much to love about Adriana’s incredible energy and passion for helping and inspiring others. If you think nice girls don’t finish first, think again!

As always, I’d love to know what you think of the episode, so please be sure to let me know! And, please be sure to take a quick screen shot from your phone and share it to your Instagram stories with a tag to: @lauracoxkaplan @AdrianaCarrig @sheSaidSheSaidPodcast and @littlewordsproject
