So today is a short solo episode… and maybe the beginning of a mini-series.

I’d genuinely love your feedback.

So many leaders (often introverts) have asked me about difficult conversations…. and I’ve seen so many get nervous, emotional (or AVOID THE CONVO!) … and that could be costly, risky, loses trust with our teams ... and so I am thinking of putting together a short (secret) podcast series for free that might help leaders, introverts, like you, to shift a difficult conversation to an empowering one!

• Would this be of interest to you?
• Would episodes like this support you?
• Would you value practical conversations around communication, leadership, emotional intelligence, boundaries, expectation-setting, or navigating tension with more calm and confidence?

Send me a message on Instagram or LinkedIn and let me know.

Would you value more mini episodes around empowering conversations and the human side of leadership?

What does it really mean to build a business that nourishes people not just through products or services, but through culture, leadership, and purpose?

You’re invited into a powerful and honest conversation with special guest Stephanie Solis, Founder & CEO of Little Mushroom Catering, community advocate, mentor, and values-based entrepreneur. In this episode of OVERFLOW with Kimberly Snider, we’re talking about the human side of leadership the part people don’t always see behind the success.

Together, Kimberly and Stephanie explore what it takes to build a company rooted in integrity, trust, sustainability, and genuine care for people. From creating opportunities for the next generation to leading with intention in the hospitality industry, this conversation is filled with thoughtful insight for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone navigating growth with purpose.

We’ll also dive into the realities of entrepreneurship:

• How do you stay aligned with your values while growing a successful business?
• What kind of leader are you becoming through the process of building?
• Are you creating a culture people want to belong to or simply a business that performs?
• What happens when purpose becomes the foundation instead of the afterthought?
• And how do we continue leading with humanity in industries that often demand burnout?

Stephanie shares her journey from launching Little Mushroom Catering in 2010 to becoming a respected voice in community leadership, mentorship, sustainability, and ethical business practices.

Tune in and discover how Stephanie Solis is redefining leadership through purpose, people, and community and how you can begin building a life and business that truly overflows.

Let’s talk about leadership… the kind that feels real, grounded, and aligned with who you truly are.

In this episode of Overflow with Kimberly Snider let's sit down with Emma Marriott to explore authenticity, intentional communication, and what it actually looks like to lead with clarity and connection—without losing yourself in the process.

Together, they open up a conversation around presence, energy, and the small but powerful shifts that can transform how we show up with our teams and in our lives.

Along the way, you might find yourself asking:

• How am I really doing… and do I give myself space to answer honestly?
• What energy am I bringing into my conversations each day?
• Am I leading with intention… or reacting in the moment?
• What would it look like to bring more adventure, creativity, and even “magic” into my leadership?

It’s about how you show up ... moment by moment, ...conversation by conversation.

• Authentic leadership starts with self-awareness and honest check-ins
• Clear intentions create clearer conversations (and better outcomes)
• The energy you bring is felt before your words are heard
• Leadership can hold both pressure and self-compassion
• When we allow space for creativity and “magic,” connection deepens

This is a conversation that reminds you:

you don’t have to lead louder… just a little more intentionally!

Before the words… before the structure… before the “say the right thing”… There’s your energy.

I think, people feel your energy. The hear the words and sense the frustration or calmness you bring to the conversation.

If you walk into a conversation:

• rushed
• frustrated
• defensive
• or in “gotcha mode”

…it doesn’t matter how perfect your script is. The bridge won’t hold.

What if you chose to slow down with:

• curiosity
• calm
• care
• intention

Then, I think you create something powerful, space to build a bridge, and space for an empowering conversation. ...a..n..d.. from there everything shifts.

Ready to shift how you show up in your next conversation?

• Prepare with intention and the right energy
• Communicate with clarity (facts + impact)
• Build solutions together, not alone

This episode is another solo-soapbox moment on language and let's think about the power it holds.

Because the words you use are never “just words.”

They are signals.

They set tone.

They shape energy.

They build or break momentum before anything else even happens.

So today, we’re talking about what your language is actually doing in your leadership, your conversations, and your self-talk.

Listen closely… because the difference between stuck and moving might just be the sentence you keep repeating.

...a loving nudge, a friendly reminder, empowering you today...

You are not here to get everything right.

You are here to be here.

To laugh in meetings that feel too serious.

To breathe in moments that feel too heavy.

To remember that ambition and joy can exist in the same body.

This is your permission to stop tightening your life into something “acceptable.”

And start expanding into something alive.

You're welcome!
