How to Keep Your Day Job – Morning Star Consultants

Work is messy. Life is messy. And when sh*t hits the fan, it’s usually both at the same time.

Hosted by Lisa Goss and Staci from Morning Star Consultants, How to Keep Your Day Job is the podcast that strips away the sugarcoating and gets real about business, boards, leadership, and the chaos of everyday life. From communication meltdowns and defensive walls to burnout boards and payroll disasters, Lisa and Staci dig into the breakdowns that derail us — and share the lessons, tools, and resilience strategies that bring us back.

With sharp insights, unfiltered stories, and just enough humor to make the tough stuff easier to hear, this show is part governance clinic, part life coaching session, and part “thank god it’s not just me.”

If you’re a leader, a board member, or just someone trying to survive the juggle of business and life — this is your space to learn how to keep your job, keep your sanity, and maybe even laugh along the way.

✨ Now entering our fifth year, we’re humbled and grateful to have listeners tuning in from 68 countries and nearly 500 cities around the world. Thank you for making this community possible — we couldn’t do it without you.

In this episode of How to Keep Your Day Job with the Morning Star Consultants, Lisa and Staci break down what coaching really looks like at Morning Star—from navigating burnout to restructuring your business with clarity and compassion.

They introduce the Two Lanes Framework—Morning Star’s approach to coaching for life and business—and walk through the SHINE Method, a signature five-step coaching model designed to move clients from stuck to strategic. You’ll also learn how the Pain Points Discovery Tool helps leaders and changemakers name what’s really holding them back.

Whether you’re leading a team, launching a dream, or carrying more than your fair share of the mental load, this episode is a guide to coaching that supports your whole self—because when the business is you, it’s all connected.

Plus: hear how you can work with Morning Star for personal or professional coaching, team support, or become a coach yourself and help others grow.

Recorded on the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year — this episode invites you to reflect, reset, and choose light, even in difficult moments. Lisa shares a deeply personal story about integrity, boundaries, and leadership in the face of harm, and Staci joins to talk about clarity, crisis, and what it means to hold space when the world feels heavy.

From wildfire evacuations to baseboards and paint cans, this conversation weaves the personal with the professional — and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the heart and hustle behind Morning Star’s new collaborative space.

We also introduce our growing community of consultants and what it means to do this work differently — through a cost-recovery model that supports impact over ego.

✨ Plus: stick around to the end for a lighthearted blooper as Lisa and Staci both try to say the name of the podcast at the same time. (Spoiler: we left it in.)

Themes:
→ Solstice & Seasonal Growth
→ Ethical Leadership & Boundaries
→ Holding Space in Crisis
→ Community, Collaboration & Consulting Culture
→ Firefighters, Family, and Fresh Paint
