Urmi Hossain, CFA, speaker and mentor for women in finance, joins me on this episode to talk about what it takes to be a woman in leadership. What do we as women want in our professional lives?

Have you ever felt like you are left out of the cool group? Wondered if that group in the other room was talking and laughing about you? Felt silly because you thought so? Let's talk about what to do. First of all, most people are focused on ourselves, not on anyone else. And even if they are talking about you, it's none of your business unless they want to talk directly to you about it. I'm sharing two concepts that help me through situations when I feel like the dorky kid again who worried...

Ok, this week we're circling back to decision making, intuition and human design. And while we do that, we're talking about the power of EMOTIONS. If you are like me and you weren't in touch with your emotions at all for periods of time in your life (or now?), you'll want to hear this. Decision making is one of the most important things we do - because we are making decisions all the time, every day, in small and big ways. See if you recognize yourself in any of the...

This week we're diving into a topic that often sparks debates - body positivity and health. We'll talk through the definitions and misconceptions surrounding body positivity and health.

Compassion. We talk about compassion in terms of helping others and being involved in important causes. Do we talk about compassion in terms of being kind and compassionate to ourselves? Not as often. Holly Zajur, wellness educator, joins me this week to share with us how to switch from self criticism (that is often far more mean than we would ever be to someone else) to self compassion. Holly walks us through why this matters, and the reasons related to hormones and our nervous systems are po...

It's a new year... and we may have overindulged over the holidays. Just me? Let's talk about it.

The end of the year is here! You may already have made some resolutions for the new year, or you may be anti-resolution.

Emotional eating is something that many of us struggle with often. There is a comfort aspect to food that originates when we are babies and often continues throughout life. We also might struggle to recognize, validate or feel our emotions - and turn to things like food to provide the comfort, protection or distraction that we want. We might use food to cope with stress or turn to binge eating to try to cover up other things that we don't want to face. Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin joins me on this ...

The holiday season - and winter in general - can be a tough time for our mental state, stress levels, and attitude in general.

Glimmers are moments of joy that have a powerful effect in our lives. Send lo...

Money doesn't grow on trees. Money is the root of all evil. If you have debt, you must be a bad person or irresponsible with money... We hear so many different sayings and views on money as we go through life, and many of these views get saved into our subconscious as beliefs about money. If you believe deep down that money makes people greedy and bad, you can bet that you won't be able to make much money in life. Your brain will protect you from that. In week 2 of ou...

Working from home in your pajamas? Or making sure to always be "camera ready" no matter what? Let's talk about why it matters whether we get dressed each day. This week we're talking about enclothed cognition and how our minds and bodies react to wearing certain clothes (and to other people wearing certain clothes).

You decide to get in shape, or lose (release) weight, or make a life change... and a few weeks into it you get frustrated. It seems as if nothing is changing, and you find yourself falling back into old habits. Why? Your nervous system is signaling to you that it's not safe to make that change. Let's talk about weight loss and safety. Your nervous system is in control and is working from ideas you absorbed when you were a child - about whether exercise is good or is punishment and about how it...

A gut feeling... a hunch... a thought that comes out of nowhere... a sense that something is just off... We've all noticed our intuition warning us about simple things or major things. It sounds like a good idea to listen to your instincts or trust your gut, but how can we learn to do this better? How can we get better at making sure our intuition catches our attention, and how can we tell whether it truly is intuition or it's just the fear talking in our brains? We're talking about pra...

Our world is rife with political rhetoric and arguments over both the facts of a situation and the solutions. If we know that minimizing stress is a significant part of living healthy, how do we manage our stress while being informed politically?
