Connect and Rise with Alesha Brown, CEO and founder of Fruition Publishing. Alesha discusses her personal journey and how she has learned to be resilient in the face of adversity. She explains that “cultivating resilience is the path to fulfillment.” She reminds us that we get to decide what kind of lives we live. Alesha gives profound insight into relationships, explaining how to assess whether a relationship is withdrawing from or making deposits into our internal wells. You will come away not only feeling empowered to take bold action towards your dreams, but also remembering to be joyful  in all things- including the simple pleasure of waking up.

Connect and Rise with Jaqueline Alnes, runner, writer, and author of the recently released book, The Fruit Cure. Jaqueline shares her story reminding us that our value can be found internally and intrinsically and is not based on any external demands that the world may place upon us. She advocates breaking free from an all-or-nothing mentality and invites us to celebrate all parts of ourselves.  Making space for failure frees us to explore, play, and enjoy life. Joy awaits. 
Connect and Rise with Susan Donnelly, minset and strategy coach for ultra runners who has finished 144 hundred mile races!! Have you ever wondered what it takes to finish a 100 mile race? Or to be a finisher in life? Susan tells us that you start by knowing what you are thinking instead of just reacting. You can then ask yourself if you are willing to make a change in your thinking. Susan discusses how women have been socially conditioned in ways that men have not, often keeping them off balance… Women are told to be beautiful, but not too beautiful, assertive, but not too assertive, successful, but not too successful. Women can shift their thinking and train themselves to think bold thoughts. Susan reminds us to be willing to gamble on ourselves and to also develop a relationship with discomfort and pain. Ask yourself: what am I willing to fight for? And remember, you don’t have to be perfect because you learn by failing. Holding yourself to perfection is unfair to you. You will come away from this amazing first episode of 2024 ready to find out what you are capable of and reminding yourself: all things are possible.

We open our discussion on leadership which will be a theme on the podcast as we head into 2024. Jaci talks about how important it is for a leader to be vulnerable and to keep learning. She also shares how life will continue teaching us the same lessons until we listen. Learning from the recurring themes in our lives can be a game changer. Jaci reminds us that the little things make a big difference and that every “race” has a purpose.

She reminds us that emotions are not permanent and that we need to get in the habit of asking if an emotion (or how we are spending our time) serves us. Jessie notes that we are all given a lot of ideas on what we should do, but too often we don’t ask ourselves what aligns with our innermost selves or who we want to be. She reminds us to be unafraid to walk with fear. The point of life is to evolve and to continue becoming whoever we want to be.

She cautions us to be careful about comparing our day 1 to someone else’s day 100 and reminds us that consistency is key.

One cause particularly dear to Heidi is to help more young Black women learn to swim. We need more girls to learn to swim for the health benefits and also to prevent drowning related deaths. Heidi is also an advocate for young people to think of themselves as global citizens. She will remind you: on your journey of development, start by forgiving yourself. Then move forward towards a better you and ultimately a better world.
