“In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, take a moment to pause and appreciate the simple joys. Remember, self-care isn't a luxury; it's a necessity for your well-being.” - Kallai Plummer

Caught between the laughter of my children and the quiet needs of my aging parents, I've come to understand the heart-wrenching beauty of being part of the sandwich generation.

Today, I'm peeling back the curtain on the rollercoaster ride of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for loved ones on both ends of life's spectrum while nurturing a business. We wade into the complexities of setting boundaries, honoring our parents, and recognizing the critical role of self-care.

As we traverse this path together, you'll hear how clarity became my unexpected ally in the chaos and the small moments of joy that provide an anchor in the storm.

The conversation takes a tender turn as we acknowledge the shadow of resentment that can creep into our hearts. This episode is an embracing of self-kindness, an ode to the little breaks that allow us to breathe and find solace in nature's embrace.

Through personal reflections and shared wisdom, we unpack the value of leading with positivity, both in our homes and in the boardroom.

Join us as we celebrate the courage to ask for help, the transformative power of gratitude, and the strength found in life's simplest pleasures—a poignant reminder that in the midst of life's dances, the music of self-compassion is the sweetest tune.

“Boundaries are like these guardrails right on the highway of your business and they're like these lines that you draw to protect your time, to protect your energy and, honestly, to protect your sanity.” - Kallai Plummer

This episode is a masterclass in asserting your personal and professional boundaries to reclaim your time and sanity. I pull back the curtain to reveal how I draw the line on working hours, gracefully decline energy-sapping appointments, and manage tasks without letting them manage me.

It's all about protecting your mental health, and I don't hold back in sharing the honest truth about the times I've had to cut ties with clients who couldn't honor my boundaries.

This episode isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving by recognizing and asserting the boundaries that enable us to lead with strength and empathy.

If you're in the thick of it, wondering how to push forward without pushing yourself over the edge, these insights and anecdotes are tailored just for you.

And don't forget, by sharing this journey, we're building a community that champions well-being and big CEO energy in harmony. Join me, and let's transform the way we work and live.

“If I'm not betting on myself, who's gonna? Why not take a chance to capitalize on the fact that, even though we had a lot of crap that we had to deal with as a single parent, we can channel that energy into propelling it into something positive.” - Kallai Plummer

As a single mom turned entrepreneur, I've grappled with shadows of doubt and carried the weight of past struggles into my business ventures. Today's heart-to-heart is a testament to overcoming these unseen hurdles, where I share my journey and the transformation from a gas station clerk on state assistance to a confident business owner. We're peeling back the curtain on the silent resistances shaped by single parenthood and how they cast long shadows on our path to success.

Joining me are inspiring women in business, who've also navigated the challenges of single parenthood and entrepreneurial hurdles. Together, we're uncovering the unconscious actions that tether us to our past and block that Big CEO Energy we crave.

“Joy is not some destination that you arrive to.It's a daily practice, and it's a choice that we get to make to embrace life with enthusiasm, to embrace it with gratitude and to embrace it with kindness.” - Kallai Plummer

I'll never forget the moment I realized that the thrill of entrepreneurship had started to wear thin, leaving me chasing a high that felt as elusive as the end of the rainbow. That's when the true quest for joy in leadership began for me, a journey that's been as much about personal growth as it has been about guiding my team.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What it means to be a leader who cultivates joy, not just in moments of triumph, but through the trials and tribulations that invariably come with running a business.
• How I faced down technical glitches and a nagging sense of impostor syndrome during a product launch, offering insights into the resilience and self-care strategies that kept me afloat—and more importantly, joyful.

We often talk about joy as if it's a light switch, but I've come to see it as a garden that needs daily tending. This episode is an open invitation to join me in redefining the role of a leader to include the practice of joy, and how this shift can ripple out to benefit our teams, our projects, and even the bottom line.

Episode Chapters:

00:02- Rediscovering Joy as a Leader

09:57- Cultivating Joy and Resilience in Business

22:12- Embracing Joy Through Daily Practice

There's a transformative power in choosing joy every day, and I'm thrilled to share how this has reshaped my approach to leadership and life. So, if you're ready to infuse your leadership style with authentic joy and inspire those around you, let's embark on this journey together.
