Description
As a Soulful Leader you want your success to mean something. Professionally, you're flourishing. Personally, you're still searching. Deep inside you know there has to be more to life. Acknowledging that your outer world doesn’t align with your inner longings can feel scary and overwhelming. In a world where achievements and accolades motivate us to do more and be more, we’re often left wondering, “Is this really it?” Instead of sticking to the status quo, you’re ready to embrace a new way of being, thinking, feeling, and doing so you can fulfill the deeper life that’s calling you. We’re your hosts, Stephanie Allen and Maren Oslac. We’re both soulful leaders in our own right whose lives have been dedicated to living that 'something more'. We can’t wait to save you time and share the shortcuts we’ve uncovered. By tuning into the Soulful Leader Podcast you’ll discover that you don’t need to sacrifice to find meaning, success or true happiness. Instead, you’ll learn practical solutions infused with a healthy dose of woo for tapping into your Divine DNA. We’ll help you see that going inward is the secret. Each week we break down the barriers that will help you decrease your stress, find that fulfillment, and create the conditions so you can thrive in life.

Think about that time when you were so irritated you could barely see straight. That’s emotional hijacking - it happens more than we notice AND it costs us way more than we realize.It can cost you a client, a team member, a partnership or even your reputation. As a leader, you definitely want an alternative.In today’s podcast, Maren and Stephanie talk about Maren’s personal experience of being emotionally hijacked that led her to almost transfer her emotions onto her husband. This vulner...
You are not the problem. The way you were taught to solve problems is actually limiting you. Rational thinking is inherently limited - mainly because we’re not meant to stop at ‘rational’, we are meant to keep evolving. Einstein said that you cannot solve that problem on the same level that created it. That means traditional problem-solving methods are insufficient for addressing our modern societal issues and personal challenges.It's time for us to go beyond what we currently...
Have you ever wanted something more for someone then they want it for themselves?It can be painful and heartbreaking - for both people. And it can decimate a relationship.Today, Maren and Stephanie dig into every aspect of this from both personal and professional perspectives. They cover control and codependency, arrogance and boundary issues, internal dialogs, the external world as a mirror and how so much of what we say to ourselves is actually not our own voice.Through two personal stories...

By consciously using Halloween (or any time of the year) you can embrace the beautiful leadership gifts that are stuffed in your shadow.In their fun, insightful way, Stephanie and Maren share the deepe...
What motivates you? Does pain and fear get your butt in gear, or is it joy and meaning and purpose? Are ‘mess’ and ‘drama’ habitual patterns in your life?If you are comfortable complaining and don’t get really ‘motivated’ until something breaks or is on fire - then you are familiar with the fear/pain/adrenaline loop. While it works to get where you want to go, it’s exhausting and it’s probably gotten old.The adrenaline motivation loop takes a huge toll on our systems. Plus we end up in a cycl...
“If I just — (fill in the blank) — had enough money, got the promotion, had the right team, was in a relationship, had a better job, lived in a different town… THEN I would be happy!” Right?What if that ‘one thing’ that is eluding you is your greatest gift? And in getting it, you’d be cheated out of all the meaning, and unfolding beauty, of your life?The tantalizing shortcut, the quick fix - what if that is actually just rushing our life away? They say that we get to the end of lif...
Imagine one of those moments when everything in life was clicking. You hit your stride and all cylinders were firing.Your business, and life, can be like that regularly. And it does take an awareness of not only your personal rhythms, but of the rhythms around you as well. Just like a good drummer, you feel it when you are out of sync with yourself AND with your surroundings, you’ve just learned to ignore it …and push through it.To understand and master rhythms, you must be comfortable w...
Leaders who can articulate their thoughts grab attention. Leaders who can articulate their hearts create impact and connect hearts. Both of which are much needed in today’s world. Building that skill is not about talking - the real secret is the effort those powerful leaders put into listening. Listening to what’s being said behind someone’s words. So often, people seem to ramble about nothing for hours. As a society that idealizes the intellect, we live from the head up. We've disc...
Most of the time there’s a mismatch between ‘job’ and ‘person’ - Jobs need to be filled. Finding passionate and knowledgeable help, that’s just a bonus! People need work. Finding something you enjoy at a good company, that’s for the lucky few.Even the best ‘matched’ positions (right person) are usually not quite right (wrong job).It’s crazy that this is the accepted standard!It has a negative impact on the company (customer attrition, environment, co-workers, etc.), the worker (ment...
How would you like all the time in the world to do what's necessary? The mystics say that we have it, so why do we always feel behind? One reason is that we’re out of tune with our own personal rhythm. Being out of rhythm puts us into tension, takes us out of flow, we are out of sync with the timing of things (and people) around us, everything gets crunchy.When we are in sync, time expands. It’s calming, kind, and nurturing. The body doesn't go in a fight or flight. It stays relaxed, so you h...
What if your life, and your business, could go from surface level, average, non-fulfilling to rewarding and filled with substance? Today’s podcast answers that question.Self-awareness and introspection in identifying one's values, as well as recognizing and aligning internal and external values leads to deeper relationships, better decision-making, and a more fulfilling life.Yet, most of us don't even realize what our values are. Our values were adopted, they got layered into our lives f...
For what purpose were you born in this time? In this place? With these people? In this situation? There is a reason.“For every single problem, there is a solution right next to it. And those solutions are us.” - Maren OslacLife is more than meeting, or even exceeding, societal expectations. Ask anyone who has climbed that ladder. As leaders, we often feel pressured into doing all the ‘right’ things and checking off the boxes. And we lose ourselves in the process. Meaning is what we really see...
Perfectionism is rampant in our culture. The pressure to do things right, right now, has induced in us a fear of making mistakes. Ironically, that very aversion is what keeps us from doing things ‘right’. It’s a horrible incapacitating cycle that HAS to be broken.Today, Maren & Stephanie talk about this ‘cycle’ we’ve caught in a fun and engaging way, laughing at their own mistakes (yes, Stephanie really did light a 90 year old man on fire). More than that, they bring perspective shifts AN...
What if the skills you’ll need to retire well are also the skills you need to live well? And to lead well?It turns out, they are. Retirement is not just reserved for a stage late in life when you're not working anymore, it happens throughout our lives on multiple levels. So having some skill with it can literally change your whole world.Imagine a part of yourself that you’d love to ‘retire’. Maybe you’d love to take the complaining part of you and set it aside, or be done with the part of you...
“We're not here just to do what everyone else is doing. There's some puzzle piece that we bring to the whole, that's our gift.” - Carissa KazyssSociety has a way of getting us to try to fit in. It’s built into our school system, it’s pervasive across all ad platforms and, subconsciously, it runs our lives. Today’s guest firmly believes that your unique self is the key - not only to your own personal happiness and satisfaction - but to every challenge that exists on the planet right now.If you...
In a world that celebrates giving and vilifies receiving, how do we learn to receive?

This powerful podcast looks at receiving through the lens of limiting beliefs, definitions of success, agendas, alternative perspectives and more.The good news? Doing a bit of inner work can radically change your outer experience of ...
“How we lead others is how we lead ourselves.”What does that even mean? And how does it help me as a person, and as a leader? We are different with different people - we’re one way with our spouse, another with our boss, another with our teams - we take on different personas. Last week Maren and Stephanie talked about this ‘inner’ cast of characters and this week they share three powerful practices to actually find AND develop those different parts of ourselves.As humans (and leaders), when w...
Let’s step into controversy!In business we’re often told to give more than expected. That’s good business. Yet personally, giving more that someone expects, needs or wants is often a sign of an unhealthy, co-dependent relationship.So which is it?How do we know if we should give more than expected or hold back?This is such a key subject for leaders and businesses that Stephanie and Maren went all in. They don’t hold anything back as they pull it apart and look at it from multiple lenses....

Values are powerful tools, yet most of the time we don’t know what a value is, no less what our particular values are. Today Stephanie and Maren pull apart what values mean to us personally, and in our businesses. Knowing your values (and your business’ values) is one of the single most impactful thing you can do to attract customers and teams, to increase revenue and retention and even to meet Mr. or Ms. Right.
