Do you choose action over reflection, or is it the other way around? I recently stumbled upon a Steve Jobs lecture where he critiqued consultants with one simple, powerful idea: “You have to be doing actual work to make something meaningful.” This got me thinking about the ongoing debate: Are you a consultant—strategic, reflective, and data-driven? Or an entrepreneur—action-driven, fearless, and iterative? In this latest minisode, I explore why the real magic happens when you balance both....
Belonging is a choice, not just a place. As leaders and entrepreneurs, we often get caught up in work, neglecting the very communities and hobbies that bring us balance. In my latest article, I explore the power of finding your "third space" and how it can realign your well-being. Feeling out of sync? It might be time to reconnect with what grounds you. #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Belonging #Wellbeing #Community If these episodes have resonated with you, I've got great news! I've just ...
🚨 Are you running on autopilot? Between meetings, deadlines, and everything else on your plate, it’s easy to fall into “reactive mode”—putting out fires before you’ve even had your coffee. I used to start my mornings in panic mode, jumping from one thought to the next, already feeling like I was behind. But here’s the thing: that chaos doesn’t have to run the show. Here, I’m sharing a simple, 5-minute practice that helped me reclaim my mornings—and my sanity. No fancy tools. No long to-do ...
Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or losing steam already this year? It’s only March, but for many, the excitement of “new year, new me” started to fade, like, yesterday. Whether you’re crushing it or feeling like you’re falling behind, there’s one thing that can help shift your mindset: momentum. In this latest minisode, I share: 👉 Why meaningful change starts with small, intentional actions 👉 How to reframe your goals from a place of identity, not lack 👉 A simple strategy to get back on track (...
Women’s leadership isn’t about playing by the rules—it’s about rewriting them. ✨ In this episode, I read a chapter from my book on women’s leadership, sharing insights for founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders who refuse to shrink. It’s been a while, but we’re back—so whether you’re a longtime listener or new here, welcome. Let’s dive in. 🎙️ If these episodes have resonated with you, I've got great news! I've just opened the doors for my new free membership called Leadership Mastery: Achieve ...
On this week's episode, I mine from my own experience for lessons on what to do when we're feeling like our productivity has plateaued. Otherwise known as "writer's block", this happens to all of us. You may have come from a month where you were in flow and crushing it. You may feel like you've got senioritis - things are on cruise control, and you're finding it hard to find the motivation to get back into it. Or, you've been frozen in time for a while, stuck in a cul-de-sac with no vis...
After a brief hiatus for a health procedure, we're back! On this episode, I share a recent life update and how it's made me reflect on how we make decisions - or don't. Each decision is a choice we make, a choice that by definition means we are cutting ourselves off from other options. In the case of our own growth, how can we get better at noticing that we're stymying our own transformation, and what can we do about it when we do? If these episodes have resonated with you, I've got great ...
On this episode, I dive deep into the concept of "code switching." It's just a fancy way of saying multitasking, but it has a HUGE impact on our productivity and results. If you find yourself in a season where you're running after every shiny object out there, or you're trying to manage every single thing on your To-Do list (and everyone else's), this is a must listen. There are real and painful consequences when we divert our time and energy into distractions and interruptions. And i...
If you've been following this podcast, you know that most of the content that I share is about growth. But sometimes, if we get real with ourselves, growth seems like an abstract thing. Yeah, lots of us say we want it, but do we truly - and are we actually building our growth muscles so we grow intentionally instead of sporadically? In this first episode of a 4-week mini-series, I'll delve into the most obvious habits and behaviors that you'll see when you're on the verge of a breakth...
Clarity comes from action. It's as simple as that. But sometimes, when you're in the fog of growing pains, you can forget that you still have the capacity, the power, to take action. You numb, you procrastinate, you indulge - and yet you keep feeling stuck. On this episode - a post script to Episode 5 - we explore the soft underbelly of growth. What growing pains actually feel like, and what we can do to move out of the messy middle. If these episodes have resonated with you, I've got grea...
Know the old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks?" I think that's hogwash. On this episode, we dive into what makes change possible, and using a case in point that literally showed up the day that I recorded this podcast, I walk you through a simple exercise you can do to learn and imprint new ways of showing up. I said it was simple, but I didn't say it was easy ;). If these episodes have resonated with you, I've got great news! I've just opened the doors for my new free ...
Do you ever have the sense that you’re experiencing opposite emotions or feelings at the same time? Elation and sadness? Excitement and trepidation? Energized and tired? When we straddle the line between sensations for too long, we can get stuck. On this episode - recorded unfiltered with a lapel mic and mobile phone on the coastline - we talk about what it means to embrace this duality, and why (ironically) giving space to it all helps us make choices from a more aligned, easeful, an...
If you’re running a business or an organization, on many days you’re faced with a series of decisions that have a real bearing on your impact. It’s serious work. But that doesn’t mean you’ve gotta be serious all the time. On this episode, I unpack one lesson I’ve learned that’s brought me more joy and delight: how to remember to play again. Not for the sake of accomplishment, skill building, or “winning”, but to tap in to the magic of presence and actually unlock more creativity...
On this week's episode, sharing a rather sticky lesson that perplexes even people who have been exercising leadership for a minute. It's about getting radically honest about ownership and accountability. In other words, getting radically honest about what parts of the work are yours - what you're responsible for - and what you can let go of or empower others to take on. If you're the kind of person who finds yourself driven by high performance and achievement, or who tends to take on m...
On this inaugural episode of Tune Up with The Moxy Gal, I talk about the first of 40 lessons that I've learned at 40. They're each lessons I've learned, but I haven't necessarily mastered. I'm aware of the wisdom that these lessons hold, and how the insights I received from living through each of them have impacted the way I show up and lead. This week's lesson? It's OK to be mediocre. Allowing the space for learning, creativity, and the messy middle? That's often where the magic...
