226: What You Need to Know if You’re Thinking About Publishing Your Book, with Hannah Kates: Fan Favorite Replay

Let’s talk about publishing.    For any book, there is so much that goes on behind the scenes to put those books in the hands of the readers. I got a firsthand look at it while I was working on publishing my book, Take the Lead.    In this replay episode of Leading Lady, I sat down with Hannah Kates, the CEO and chief editor at Lofthouse Publishing. She is my editor and dear friend and the whole reason that my book, Take The Lead, even made it out into the world.    Hannah is passionate about empowering others with publishing in an ethical way. There’s a huge need for better publishing and she is doing what she can to improve it as much as possible.    There’s an impact that needs to be made with publishing. We need to stop looking at books as the product. The product is so much more than that. At Lofthouse Publishing, they strive to publish books that you don’t just read and then put down. They publish books that take you on a journey and change you forever.     Everyone has a story, and your story is valid. Tune in to learn more about Lofthouse Publishing and what you need to know if you are thinking about publishing your book.    Show notes available at www.leadinglady-coaching.com/podcast   Resources Mentioned:  Visit the Lofthouse Publishing website: https://www.authorhannahkates.com/services/publishing/    Have you joined the Leading Ladies Facebook Group yet?!

225: Rejection Does Not Define You; Lessons Learned From Sorority Recruitment: Fan Favorite Replay

In this episode of Leading Lady, I want to share my experience with my daughter who went through sorority recruitment, or rush, as a freshman in college.   People feel pretty passionately about sororities. Some feel it’s archaic and toxic, some think it’s a wonderful experience and really appreciate the community and the opportunities that being in a sorority presents.    My experience with this whole process was a bit of a culture shock, to be honest. However, it’s important to remember that everyone’s experience is unique to them. There is no right or wrong blanket statement when it comes to sororities.    My daughter and I both learned a lot from this experience. One of the biggest takeaways from this is that no one likes rejection, but it is a very real part of life.    As much as rejection hurts, we have to recognize that it’s not our place to determine if we are the right fit for someone else. We should instead focus on looking for situations where we are wanted, celebrated, and accepted.    Tune in to learn more about our experience with the sorority recruitment process and what we learned from rejection.    Show notes available at www.leadinglady-coaching.com/podcast   Resources Mentioned: Have you joined the Leading Ladies Facebook Group yet?!

210: Simple Choices Make a Big Difference: How To Become More Eco-Friendly with Crystal DiMiceli: Fan Favorite Replay

You don’t have to upend your life to make animal and environmentally-friendly choices.    Topics like climate change and deforestation can be really overwhelming to think about. After all, how much of a difference can one person really make? The truth is, we need everyone’s effort. Taking steps to be more environmentally friendly will make an impact. Every small action adds up to big changes.   In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, Crystal DiMiceli joined me to talk about how we can make a difference in our environment even with the tiniest of changes.    Crystal was that little girl who loved animals and brought home strays whenever her parents would allow it (that may still be her M.O.!). She was that teenager who watched a show about pollution and vowed to stop it when she grew up. But, she’s also that woman that loves to travel to far-off places on fossil fuel-guzzling airplanes while wearing leather shoes.    She may not be the perfect example of how to do eco- and animal-friendly 100% “right”, but she makes every effort possible. She does her research, makes conscious choices, and listens to both sides of the aisle. She wants to bring attention to the good things that are happening so that we can elevate and scale up these acts so that they, ideally, become the norm. She understands that nothing is black and white, there are many shades of grey. Although, she prefers to say many shades of green.    You don’t have to be perfect to be environmentally conscious. It all starts with one small change. We are so much more powerful than you may think, especially together. Make sure to tune in to learn how you can start making more environmentally conscious decisions in your life today.    Resources Mentioned:  Follow Crystal on Facebook Follow Crystal on Instagram Becoming a Force for Nature free guide   Show notes available at www.leadinglady-coaching.com/podcast   Have you joined the Leading Ladies Facebook Group yet?!

209: What You Should Know Before Hiring a Coach: Fan Favorite Replay

Have you ever thought about hiring a business coach?    I talk to so many women on discovery calls who are trying to decide if hiring a coach is the right move for them. The decision to hire a business coach or life coach is a big one, so you don’t want to go into this decision without doing your research and knowing what exactly you need and what to look for.    I am a firm believer that everyone needs a therapist and everyone needs a coach. These are two very different things that will help you in different areas of your life. In this episode of Leading Lady, I’m sharing everything you need to know before you hire your first coach.    Not all coaching is equal, and I want you to have the best experience possible.    Tune in to this episode to learn more about what you need to know when searching for a coach, red flags to avoid, questions to ask, and so much more.    Show notes available at www.leadinglady-coaching.com/podcast   Resources Mentioned:  Book a complimentary call: https://leadinglady-coaching.com/   Have you joined the Leading Ladies Facebook Group yet?!

208: Fan Favorite Replay: Tips for Scheduling Time Off as a High-Achieving Business Owner

We all need a break sometimes.    In this week's episode of The Leading Lady Podcast, I am talking about the importance of taking a break. You don’t need to wait for an opening to get a break or a “good time” to take a vacation, you can schedule these breaks or vacations into your life whenever you need them.    I know it can seem impossible to do because, as entrepreneurs and high-achieving women, we are never away or cut off from our businesses, and we are the decision-makers so it’s hard to step away like that, but what you need to do is plan ahead so that you can take a successful break.    Tune in to learn more about my top tips for getting the rest and rejuvenation you need.    Show notes available at www.leadinglady-coaching.com/podcast   Have you joined the Leading Ladies Facebook Group yet?!

207: Why Saying YES to What You Don’t Want Says NO to Your True Passions

Let’s talk about the power of saying no.    By that, I mean sometimes when we say “no”, we are actually saying “yes”. Now I know what you may be thinking- no means no, right? I get that!    By saying no to something, you are often saying yes to something else. In this week’s episode of Leading Lady, I am diving into why saying no to what doesn’t light you up means saying yes to the things that matter.    Oftentimes when I am working with clients, setting boundaries, both personal and professional, is something that they really want to work on. They want to achieve the highly sought-after work-life balance and find more time for their passions, and they know that setting boundaries is the key to making that happen.   Some people just struggle to say no to things that don’t feel right for them. But when you say yes to that thing, what are you actually saying no to? Are you saying no to the time and freedom to do the things that really light you up and fuel your fire?    In order to be your best, most authentic self, you have to prioritize things that align with your mission, vision, and values.
