Pursue You

Leadership is a big word. There are so many types of leaders, levels and styles of leadership. Most of the time these conversations come about with regard to how one might lead other people. Today I am discussing how leading myself first has positively impacted my ability to lead others. I explain how it has shown up in my life and my business with the hopes that you will recognize the power of leading yourself first in your life.

Today we are talking about how to get rid of “Mom Guilt” – Part 2! In Part 1, we discussed why it is a problem. We discussed the impact of social media and the way we consume other’s lives. We also talked about the importance of deep relationships to better and how we define what it really means to be a good mom. Today, I discuss the next step. After we create our list of what things we think defines being a good mom, I share the importance of understanding how that fits into our lives.

Today we discuss “Mom Guilt.” This is the first podcast of a 2-podcast-series on the topic. It is something that ties us together as women and moms in the form of a constant inner monologue. I share tips on how to overcome it.

Today I address a question I have been getting from my community. I am asked what advice I would give college graduates as they transition into the “real world.” Whether you are a recent graduate, transitioning occupations or crafting your “best normal” following a long quarantine, I share six tips to help along the way.

Today I welcome Jay Niblick, the co-founder and CEO of WizeHire and an expert on the DISC profile. In times like these, it is more important than ever to understand one another and how we best interact with those around us. Jay shares his knowledge of the DISC and how we use it to thrive in times of stress.

On Mother’s Day, I was so honored to preach at my local church, Trinity Communion Church in Rochester, New York, where my family and I have been members for over 7 years. Today I am sharing that sermon. I was nervous, excited, honored and flattered…but mostly terrified! I worked hard, I researched, I prayed, and I did it! I realized I want to share this because I said “yes,” even though I felt so far outside my comfort zone. Hopefully it encourages you to do the same thing.

Marriage is especially difficult right now, especially when tackling challenges like the ones we are facing right now, in quarantine. I welcomed David and Laurie Re to the podcast, a beautiful couple that has been married for almost 14 years. They have two amazing boys, ages 9 and 12. They always say, “When opposites attract, they’re right!” We will discuss their challenges over the past decade and a half and how they worked together to overcome them. They believe every single marriage has hope and the ability to thrive.

We have all had our lives impacted in one way or another by this quarantine. However, it has allowed us to see a life from a different perspective. My husband and I chatted about the phrase “new normal.” Instead I want you to think about your “BEST normal.” All the things you are decided to invest your time in become your life. Don’t be a bystander. I want to help you build your best normal.

One of my favorite quotes is “don’t compare your insides to other peoples outsides.” I have always found myself comparing myself to others, not so much in a way of being better than others, but learning from others to be my best. I have always wanted to reach my maximum potential. After a lot of work over the past decade, I have been able to name my never-good-enough feelings and emotions that I was unable to pinpoint before. I have come to accept that the path I have taken in life is that path that was meant for me.
