    Ep.111-Why I Finally Wrote You Are A Mess, But So Is The Universe
    2025/11/12
    You Are A Mess, But So Is The Universe — The Story I Had to Tell Some stories don’t politely ask to be written—they hunt you down. Mine followed me around for years on a single yellow Post-it note that said just three words: Write the book. It was taped to my laptop, my planner, my fridge, even a random kitchen cabinet during a move. It survived rebrands, motherhood, burnout, and a thousand other seasons. I avoided it, argued with it, moved it… but I never threw it away. For years, I told myself I would write it when life slowed down, when I felt more ready, when I had more time, when inspiration struck, when I knew exactly what I wanted to say. But here’s the thing about waiting for perfect conditions: they don’t exist. Life doesn’t slow down. Confidence doesn’t magically appear. And clarity? That shows up once you start—not before. I started this book at least five times. I have the abandoned Google Docs to prove it. Each version reached about 20 pages before I’d talk myself out of continuing: “This isn’t the right time.” “Who do you think you are writing a book?” “Maybe later.” That Post-it became both a reminder and a quiet weight. Every time I saw it, I could feel the gap between who I was—and who I knew I wanted to become. The Lie I Told Myself This year, I finally decided to get rid of the Post-it—not by finishing the book, but by declaring: I’m not writing it. I said it out loud. Firm. Final. No more mental pressure. No more nagging reminder. No more book. Founder and CEO of Dandelion-Inc And that’s when it happened—the most unexpected thing. By telling myself no, I sparked something I didn’t see coming. It woke up a quiet fire inside me—the part of me that will run through walls if someone doubts me. Even if that someone is… me. Suddenly, I wasn’t avoiding the book anymore—I was being provoked by it. The Flood I didn’t begin writing this book—I exploded into it. I wrote 70,000 words in two weeks. Not at a cozy writing retreat. Not during a sabbatical. Not with a carefully color-coded outline. I wrote: In my car before sunrise In the notes app between meetings During lacrosse practice At 5 a.m. with reheated coffee In emotional avalanches I couldn’t outrun The words didn’t trickle. They crashed through. And for the first time in my life, I understood what writers mean when they say the book chose me. Asking for Help (The Hardest Part) What I had was raw. Unfiltered. Real. But it wasn’t a book yet. It was a mountain. So I did something my ego resisted: I asked for help. I hired a developmental editor—Elise Smith from Wordy Wives (and yes, she’ll be joining me on the podcast soon). She didn’t just edit my work—she challenged it. She stretched it. She asked for more truth, more intention, more courage. I cut chapters I swore I loved. I rewrote entire sections—twice. Then three times. I clarified ideas I thought were obvious. I faced the stories I had been avoiding. I wrote through resistance I didn’t know I still carried. This wasn’t editing—it was becoming. What This Book Is Really About Despite the title, this is not a book about being broken. It’s about becoming. It’s about what it looks like to evolve while still healing. It’s about building a life while you’re still fixing parts of it. It’s about growth that doesn’t fit into an inspirational quote. Lisa Resnick gets real about writing her forst book. This book goes where women silently live: When you’re outgrowing the life you built When success scares you more than failure When friendships shift and loyalty gets tested When you want more—but also want peace When you’re brave but still scared It isn’t self-help. It isn’t polished. It isn’t perfect. It’s honest. Why I Wrote It Anyway Was I terrified? Absolutely. I still am. I worried: What if it isn’t good enough? What if people judge me?

    Ep.110-Joy is Your Job, Leadership is a Verb, and the Ripple Effect
    2025/11/05
    Joy is Your Job, Leadership is a Verb, and the Ripple Effect (with Lisa Even) Joy doesn’t happen by accident—we make it our job. Leadership isn’t a title—it’s a daily practice. In this episode recap, Lisa Even and I dig into practical ways leaders can build teams people want to be part of, create “good ripple effects,” and make room for joy at work and at home.Why This Conversation Matters Around here, we believe growth doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be honest. If you’re building a business, a life, and a legacy that feels aligned and beautifully real, this one’s for you. Lisa Even brings the practical tools and the heart. Joy Is a Job (Not a Reward You “Earn” Later) Lisa and her husband were classic high performers—overscheduled and postponing joy for “after the next project.” Their pivot: hang a whiteboard in the bedroom and list the things they used to do, could do, and want to do. Then start doing them—imperfectly and consistently. Joy isn’t a luxury; it fuels the work. Leadership as Daily Practice: The PB&J One‑on‑One Lisa’s PB&J framework makes 1:1s human and high‑performing: P — Perspective: What’s happening in their world? Try on their glasses before you judge. B — Better: Invite them to spot problems and propose improvements. Give permission to act. J — Joy: Align tasks with strengths and season of life—joy increases productivity. Take five minutes before each 1:1 to jot P, B, and J. You’ll have a richer conversation and clearer next steps. Culture You Can Feel: Building a Team “Ecosystem” Lisa used to cup her hands and tell her team, “This is our ecosystem—build, maintain, and protect it.” That mindset gave everyone ownership. People started solving problems proactively and celebrating each other’s ripple effects. Leadership micro‑behaviors that compound: Tell the truth (even when it’s messy). Trust is oxygen. Praise progress, not just perfection. People need to hear when they’re doing well. Ask why resistance exists (fear, change fatigue, capacity). Then co‑solve it. Make permission explicit: “You have authority to fix what you can see.” A Tale of Two Leaders (and Why It Matters) One of Lisa’s earliest positive experiences: a COO noticed she’d gone on a “smoke break” without smoking. Instead of shaming her, he asked if she was bored and gave her a stretch project. That single choice told her: I see your potential. She stepped up and delivered. Contrast that with leaders who fudge the truth—trust cracks a little each time. Credibility is a leader’s compounding asset. Everyday Leadership (Beyond Titles) Lisa teaches leadership to teens and to teams: it’s the kayaking guide, the teacher, the librarian, the neighbor who picks up trash every Thursday. Macro change is built on micro moments. Start with your square foot. Ask your team (or yourself) this week: What tiny thing would make work 10% better? Where can we create a good ripple today? What joy can we schedule—not someday, but now? Listen to the Episode 🎧 Catch the full conversation on The Seed Podcast.

    Ep.109-From Resilience to Real Impact
    2025/10/29
    From Resilience to Real Impact: Cher’s Journey to CEO at Trinity YouthServices The Seed is about fuel you can actually use—tactics, mindsets, and stories that help you grow. This week, you’ll meet Cher, CEO of Trinity Youth Services (California), whose path is pure dandelion: resilience, transformation, persistence. Trinity operates 24/7/365, caring for children and teens who can’t safely remain at home—through foster care, adoption, residential treatment (mental health & substance use), and programs for unaccompanied refugee minors. On any given day, Trinity serves about 400 youth with support from ~500 staff—and the goal is always the same: safe reunification or a permanent, loving home. What We Cover Becoming the one caring adult: how a high school mentor changed Cher’s life—and how she pays it forward Leading through crises: stepping into the CEO role… then navigating a global shutdown with honesty, transparency, and courage Mission over noise: why Trinity partnered with a back-office aggregator so Cher could spend more time with people and programs Career ladders (not leaps): moving from marketing to HR to operations to the C-suite—supported by continuous learning (organizational & ethical leadership) Culture & courage: how to dismantle “othering,” create belonging, and build trauma-informed teams that don’t burn out Quick, Actionable Takeaways Know your lane, build your bench: if ops/admin are choking your mission, outsource what’s repeatable so you can lead what’s irreplaceable. Communicate like it’s 1:1: in uncertainty, increase frequency, shorten messages, and be transparent about what you know/don’t. Grow on purpose: stack transferable skills; invest in education that maps to your next role. Lead with dignity: every policy is a people policy. Design for safety, belonging, and measurable outcomes. Give back, now: mentor one person the way you wish someone had mentored you. Why It Matters This episode is a masterclass in nonprofit leadership, trauma-informed care, and scaling mission work without losing the heart. You’ll walk away inspired—and equipped. ✨ Listen to the full episode on The Seed Podcast, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share. Want to support?
