Today, we’re getting practical.We’re talking about the skills that will future-proof your career.Because let’s be honest — the world of work is changing fast.AI, automation, remote work, shifting industries… it’s a lot.

Last week we talked about the habits that hold us back — the ones that quietly keep us stuck. And you know me, I believe every coin has two sides. Which means… if there are habits that drain us, there are also habits that can lift us up.So today, we’re flipping that coin. I’m sharing seven super-simple habits that can transform your day — not months from now, but in just a matter of days. Think of these as micro-shifts, not major life overhauls. Habits you can weave into your routine without adding extra hours, but that create real clarity, energy, and momentum.Join Thrive 2025: https://leadingyourself.my.canva.site/thrive2025
Today, I want to talk about something we all wrestle with — habits. But not the good ones like drinking water, moving your body, or journaling. I’m talking about the sneaky habits that keep us stuck.And here’s the tricky part — these habits don’t always look ‘bad.’ Some of them masquerade as hard work, high standards, or just being realistic. But if you zoom out, you realize they’re the very things holding you back from growth, peace, and progress.So today we’re going to unpack 8 habits that keep you stuck — and more importantly, how to start breaking free from them.Because here’s what I know: your future doesn’t change until your habits do.Join Thrive 2025: https://leadingyourself.my.canva.site/thrive2025

Today’s episode is a really special one because I get to share something new and exciting with you: I recently became a certified productivity coach!Now, I didn’t go into this certification because I wanted another title or to check another box.

We’re going to bust some myths, rethink productivity, and I’ll walk you through the practices and mindset shifts that have transformed how I work, lead, and live.Ready?

Quitting your job might feel like freedom, but if you do it for the wrong reasons, it can become one of the biggest regrets of your career. Before you hand in your resignation letter, there’s something really important you need to think about.Because here’s the truth: A lot of people get this part wrong. And it costs them. They leave one job only to recreate the same problems somewhere else: the burnout, the boredom, the feeling of being stuck, the resentment, the identity confusion.Before you quit, let’s pause. Let’s talk about what’s really behind what you’re feeling, and what you need to look at first.
I want to talk about questions—not the ones other people ask you, but the ones you ask yourself.You see, I’ve always been someone who reflects. But I haven’t always been someone who asks better questions. For a long time, I asked myself things like:“Why can’t I figure this out?”“What’s wrong with me?”“Why isn’t this working?”And you know what those kinds of questions get you? Shame. Frustration. Stuckness.But when I started learning how to ask more empowering questions—curious questions, compassionate questions, honest questions—things began to shift.Because here’s the truth:❝ The quality of your life is shaped by the quality of the questions you ask yourself. ❞So today, I’m sharing with you the 10 best questions I’ve ever asked myself.These are the ones I return to, time and time again. The ones that helped me pivot careers, launch this podcast, leave jobs, take risks, say no, say yes, and become more me in the process.So grab a journal if you want. Or just sit back, listen in, and see which one lands for you.Let’s dive in.Join Thrive: https://leadingyourself.my.canva.site/thrive2025

This week I want to walk you through something that I do every single year and that I actually just did a couple of days ago for myself. It's something that I always share with my clients and community, and I’ve found it to be super helpful: a mid-year check-in and reset.If you’re someone who starts the year with a lot of motivation, goals, resolutions, and intentions, but somehow halfway through the year, you’ve lost sight of them—or you’re not where you thought you’d be—this episode is for you.Even if you’re making great progress, this is a good opportunity to pause and ask yourself: Are these still the right goals? Are they still aligned? Is my energy and time being invested in the things that truly matter to me today?Let’s be honest, six months into the year, we’ve evolved. Life has happened. We’ve changed. And with that, our priorities may have shifted. It’s okay to pause, reassess, and realign.So in this episode, I want to walk you through what I personally do as part of my mid-year check-in and reset. I’ll break it down step by step. You don’t need to follow my process exactly, but I hope it inspires you to do your own version and helps you move forward with more intention.I’ve created a free workbook to go along with this episode -download it here: https://leadingyourself.myflodesk.com/mid-year-rebootLooking for book recommendations?

Today’s episode is a bit of a reframe.You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Get 1% better every day.” I’ve said it. I’ve believed it. I still do in many ways.But lately, I’ve been thinking… what if instead of trying to get better at everything, we tried getting 1% more curious?Not just about our goals, but about ourselves. Our thoughts. Our patterns. Our choices. Our joy.Because in my own life, curiosity has been one of the most powerful forces for growth. And today, I want to invite you into that shift.
What happens when you hit the goals, earn the title, and check every box… and still feel like something’s missing? In this episode of Leading Yourself, I share the personal journey that led me to question the definition of success I had followed for years—and what it looked like to start rewriting it on my own terms. We’ll talk about the difference between achievement and alignment, the uncomfortable “in-between” season, and how to start designing a life and career that actually feels like yours. Whether you’re feeling burnt out, restless, or just ready for more meaning—this episode is your invitation to reflect, realign, and redefine what success truly means for you.
If you’ve been feeling a little stuck lately... a little disconnected from your energy, your motivation, or your joy—this episode is for you.This month, my word is Reignite. And it’s been speaking to me on so many levels—my routines, my relationships, my creativity, and even how I see myself.So today, I want to walk you through what it means to reignite your life, your career, your habits, your joy. We’re going to talk about:Why feeling "off" is more common than we thinkWhat reigniting actually looks like (hint: it's not about huge transformations)And five areas where you might be ready to light the flame againLet’s get started!
Today’s episode is extra close to my heart. It’s Mother’s Day—and whether you’re celebrating with your family, remembering your own mother, or navigating this day with mixed emotions, I want to hold space for all of it.As for me? I’m the proud mom of two incredible humans—one is 16, navigating teenagehood with curiosity and confidence, and the other is 8, still in that magical age where hugs are frequent and giggles come easy.Being their mom has been the most transformational role of my life. More than any promotion, title, or accolade. It’s challenged me, stretched me, broken me open—and rebuilt me, wiser and more whole.So today, I want to share 10 lessons motherhood has taught me—about love, identity, resilience, and what it truly means to grow.
Today, we’re diving into a topic that we all struggle with at some point—change. Why does it feel so scary? Why do we resist it, even when we know deep down that it could lead to something better? And most importantly, how do we shift our mindset from fearing change to embracing it as an opportunity for growth? Let’s get into it!
I’ve always believed that our careers aren’t built in isolation. Behind every milestone, breakthrough, and bold move, there are people who’ve guided us, challenged us, and lifted us higher—mentors, sponsors, and leaders who’ve left a lasting imprint on our journey.In this special series, I’m sitting down with some of the most influential voices in my own career—the mentors who’ve offered wise guidance, the sponsors who’ve opened doors, and the leaders who’ve shaped how I think and lead. Together, we’ll explore the conversations, decisions, and pivotal moments that made a difference—both in their careers and in mine.From navigating change and growth to finding your voice and building influence, these candid conversations are filled with practical wisdom and powerful takeaways to help you lead and design a career you truly want.Today my special guest is Charlie Ackerman, former CHRO for Bosch in North America.Connect with Charlie in LinkedIn HERECheck out Charlie's webpage: https://www.cac-global.net/
