• Fall. Learn. Rise. Resilient Leaders Get the Real Results
    2025/08/12

    Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!

    1 BIG IDEA
    Setbacks don’t sideline real leaders—they shape them. If you want results that actually last, resilience isn’t optional—it’s the edge.

    4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Stop glossing over failure—name it, and let it teach you.
    • Audit your last flop: What part of you was missing from that moment?
    • Reconnect with your Core Values before you “try again.”
    • Reset with one move that honors who you are—not what they expect.

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • What’s one setback I’ve been avoiding—and what’s it still trying to tell me?
    • Did I lead with integrity in that moment, or just survive it?
    • Where have I already proven I’m resilient—and how can I build from there?

    • Let your Core Values shape the way you pursue those results
    • Celebrate the small wins—they’re the real building blocks of legacy

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • What result from the last 6 months am I most proud of?

    2025/07/29

    Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!

    1 BIG IDEA
    You can’t reach bold goals alone. Empowered teams are how leaders multiply their impact—and that means creating the systems, structure, and trust they need to succeed.

    4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Clarify mid-year goals with your team—not just for them.
    • Equip your team with tools and encouragement to own their part.
    • Let go of control by modeling ownership, not micromanagement.
    • Shift your mindset from solo operator to system builder.

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • What team-level goals need to be clarified or re-committed to for the rest of the year?
    • How might I shift from doing for my team to building with my team?
    • Where might I need to trust more—and control less?

  • Set Bolder Goals: Why Women Leaders Must Stop Playing Small
    2025/07/22

    Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!

    1 BIG IDEA
    Bold goals aren’t just strategic—they’re sovereign. When women leaders own bold, measurable goals, they don’t just reach new outcomes—they transform how they lead, influence, and thrive.

    4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Challenge the inner critic that says “just be grateful” or “stay quiet.”
    • Recognize where you’ve softened your goals to stay safe or likable.
    • Use the B.O.L.D. Framework to test if your goal is Brave, Owned, Leading, and Defined.
    • Revisit your midyear goals and ask: do these stretch me into who I’m becoming?

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • Where have I been playing small in my business or leadership?
    • What is one bold, measurable goal I’ve been afraid to name out loud?
    • What would be possible—for me and for others—if I committed to that goal?

    2025/07/15

    Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!

    1 BIG IDEA
    Resilient teams don’t happen by accident. They’re built—on purpose—by leaders who understand that the culture they create directly impacts whether their people thrive or burn out.

    4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Create space for reflection—individually and together
    • Normalize asking for help and naming limits
    • Build in recovery rhythms after high-output seasons
    • Foster peer-to-peer support and shared ownership

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • What signs of team burnout am I seeing right now?
    • Have I created enough space for recovery and cohesion?
    • How does my leadership model resilience—especially in high-pressure seasons?

    2025/07/08

    Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!

    1 BIG IDEA
    You don’t have to choose between being authentic and getting results. When you lead from your values, your goals become more sustainable—and your leadership more impactful.

    4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Reframe goals to reflect how you want to show up.
    • Use the HIPE Framework to assess what’s working.
    • Reflect on where performance has outpaced integrity.
    • Align goals with Core Values to reduce burnout.

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • Where in your leadership are you performing well… but not feeling connected?
    • Which part of the HIPE Framework might be missing from your current goals?
    • What’s one small shift you could make today to better align your results with your values?

    2025/07/01

    Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!

    1 BIG IDEA
    Mid-year isn’t a crisis point—it’s a leadership checkpoint. Recommitting to your goals isn’t failure—it’s growth in action.

    4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Reflect, refine, and recommit with purpose
    • Use SMART or HIPE goals based on your season

    3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

    • What have I accomplished so far—even if it wasn’t what I originally planned?
    • Where do I feel out of sync with my goals—and what is that telling me?

    4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

    • Use AI to clarify your next step.

    • Where do I most need clarity right now—in my strategy, communication, or creative flow?
      Feeling brave? Share this episode on social and tag me with your answer. Let’s get the conversation started.
