127 Transform Overwhelm into Taking Action with Corrie LoGiudice

15m · Published 12 Sep 10:00

Corrie LoGiudice is a business strategist, coach and a professional keynote speaker.

And when you hear her story you’ll understand why she is helping audiences activate extraordinary action in their business and life, no matter their circumstances.

A 4th generation entrepreneur, Corrie spent over 15 years as SVP of her family’s regional distribution business. Following a series of traumatic, pivotal life events over a span of 5 years including miscarriage, abuse, divorce and suicide loss, she made the difficult decision to step down from her role and go into business for herself.

After starting her company Corrie Lo & Co LLC, within weeks she landed paying clients, and in less than a year she was a TEDx speaker.

No one should feel like a failure for not keeping up. Overwhelm is actually a positive sign. It means your strategy needs to be pivoted to accommodate your current reality.

Remember this if you’re constantly stressing yourself out over every decision

Aside from the decision to become a parent, no other decision you’ll ever make in life has to be permanent.

It's safe to trust your intuition, the timing doesn’t always have to be perfect, and it’s always better to have tried something and it not work out than having not tried and regretting it forever.

  • How do you push past fear of failure (and learn to enjoy it!)?
  • How do you deal with analysis paralysis?
  • Why is it so difficult to recognize your own talents.?
  • What are the most effective ways to motivate someone to make a change?

125 How to Write Compelling Non-Fiction to Expand Your Business with Nancy Erickson

27m · Published 29 Aug 10:00

Before becoming a book coach and award-winning publisher, Nancy Erickson had a wide array of business expertise. She formerly worked for both IBM and Oracle Corporations, selling high-end software solutions to Fortune 500 businesses. Faced with a family crisis in 2006, she changed her career direction, went back to school to get a Masters degree in Writing, taught at the university level, and started the award-winning nonfiction publishing house, Stonebrook Publishing.

In 2011, she developed a step-by-step process to help entrepreneurs, business owners, coaches, and speakers expand their business by writing a nonfiction book that can be repurposed into other revenue-producing products. The book establishes that person as an expert in their field, increases their credibility, helps attract a following, and is the launchpad for expanding their business. Since then, she's helped hundreds of authors achieve their dream and grow their business.

How do we show up in the world? How can I be a mentor when my own life is not where I want to be?

121 Taking a Break with Carol Clegg

10m · Published 08 Jun 10:00

What does nurturing your own wellness look like? I wanted to take a moment to remind you about the importance of nurturing your own wellness. It is essential to explore what self-care means to you and find ways to incorporate small, loving steps into your daily routine.

 For me, I'm taking a well-deserved break to recharge and hit the pause button on both my coaching business and podcast. My family and I are so excited to be preparing to celebrate the marriage of our daughter and her fiancé in Portugal this July.  I want to be fully present in the moment and want to cherish the weeks leading up to it. (along with not getting overwhelmed with the preparation!!)

As I temporarily step away, I encourage you to reflect on your own self-care journey . Remember to be kind to yourself above all else. Take this time to prioritize self-care.

I will be back in August with new episodes and as well as with an exciting new coaching package designed to help you overcome over-striving and find balance in your week.

So until August, I'm wishing you an incredible period of reflection, growth, and success while I'm away. Above all make sure the person you are the kindest to is yourself! May you find the balance and happiness you seek. 

New episodes in August will be published weekly on Thursdays.
