    Optimism Unleashed: How to reinvent yourself any time with two core beliefs EP102

    Optimism Unleashed: How to reinvent yourself any time with two core beliefs EP102

    OK Podsters, today we are diving headfirst into optimism and reinvention.

    Picture this: you, yes, YOU, as the architect of your future, armed with nothing more than the belief that you DESERVE the life you are seeking and a little dash of courage, ready to create that life that says to the world, "I'm here, and I'm fantastic!"

    Let's cut to the chase. Age, background, limiting beliefs, these are barriers (created by you, by the way) simply waiting to be bulldozed by your determination. That's right, whether you're fresh out of college or seasoned like a fine cabernet, the power to reinvent yourself is available to you.

    ON TWO CONDITIONS:

    1: You believe that you can reinvent yourself at any time.

    2: You are willing to invest the time and you have the chops to go after it.

    That’s right, Podsters, stepping into the life you know is out there for you is not only about desire and determination. You MUST tap into some of that mindset magic. Our minds will seek what we think, confirmation bias to its core. What you believe WILL shape your reality as long as you are willing to put the work into making it happen.

    What vision do you have for your future?

    Think of this like a crystal ball that shapes reality itself. Believe in the possibilities, and watch as the universe conspires in your favor.

    Remember, you're not just curating a future; you're crafting a legacy that'll make heads turn and jaws drop.

    REVIVE and THRIVE with proven BURNOUT BUSTERS EP99

    REVIVE and THRIVE with proven BURNOUT BUSTERS EP99

    Hey, Podsters! Today we are talking about a topic that hits close to home for many of us: BURNOUT.

    Now, before you roll your eyes and think, "I've heard it all before," you might want to stick around because you could be in the middle or approaching burnout, and thinking you’re just tired.

    Still doubtful?  Would you be shocked if I told you nearly 50% of women reported experiencing burnout even BEFORE  the pandemic?

    Here’s why I’m bringing this topic to you today and it’s still a little raw for me.  A few weeks back, I hit a rough patch. Despite my usual “glass half full” optimism - I found myself feeling drained, unable to catch up on my energy and walking around with a consistent case of the blahs.  Eventually I realized that I wasn’t simply tired or lacking vitamin D.

    I was burnt out.

    And if it happened to me, I know it's happening to others too.

    Now, burnout isn't just about feeling tired or overworked. It could show up for you as exhaustion, overwhelm, cynicism, lack of motivation, or detachment from the things that used to bring us joy.  Perhaps all at the same time. Yikes.

    What many people like us don’t realize as we “power through” is that is left unaddressed, burnout can last weeks, months and even years.

    So buckle up - as it’s time to check yourself before you wreck yourself!

    The best way to deal with burnout is to avoid it in the first place and here are three things you can do now to avoid or bring f yourself out of this undesirable state of being.




    Boundaries. At work, with clients, at home or wherever you may be: setting clear boundaries is the key. Learn to say no when necessary and prioritize your well-being.  Listen in today for real life scripts.


    Physical self-care. This is not about facials and pedicures. It's about drinking water, getting enough rest, and moving your body.  Doing what you know works for you physically.


    Connection. Whether it's reaching out to a friend, a partner, or a therapist, connecting with another person to let them know what’s going on is not only suggested, it’s necessary.



    So Podsters, if you're feeling the burn, know that you're not alone. With the right tools and support, you can overcome burnout and thrive once again.

    Spring is here—a perfect time for a reset, renewal and self-care.

    Who’s with me?

    Becoming Unforgettable: The Power of Personal Branding Through Style EP98

    Becoming Unforgettable: The Power of Personal Branding Through Style EP98

    Are you ready to step into the spotlight and the power of your personal style?



    Today we're diving into the transformative power of personal style. Gone are the days when fashion was just about looking good. Now, your style is your super-power and a tool to unlock your confidence, live your brand and engineer your own success.



    “When my clothes don’t fit, I feel like I don’t fit”. Nancy



    There’re nothing more uncomfortable than feeling like you don’t fit. Style is not a size and in a world where conformity overshadows individuality, authenticity is the game changer. When you feel comfortable and confident in what you wear, you exude your unique magnetic energy that captivates everyone around you. By staying true to yourself and your personal brand, you become unforgettable, leaving a lasting impression wherever you go.



    You are your brand. Your brand is you. Your brand never sleeps. It's not just about the clothes you wear but also how you carry yourself and the message you convey to the world. On the plane, in line for coffee, picking up your kids – every day you create your own opportunity when you show up on brand, and today we should you how to align your personal style with your brand identity.



    Get ready to unleash your inner style icon and become the unforgettable force you were meant to be.



    It's time to step into the spotlight, Podsters and live your truth, make a statement, and leave a lasting impression that resonates long after you're gone.



    Let's get styled, Podsters!

    Bold Asks and Big Leaps: Navigate your Career, Manage Perceptions and use Feedback as Fuel EP97

    Bold Asks and Big Leaps: Navigate your Career, Manage Perceptions and use Feedback as Fuel EP97

    I got hit with a sucker punch, Podsters and here’s what happened.

    I threw a curveball at a trusted colleague by asking him to share the unfiltered truth with me about how I’m perceived by a specific group of people.

    I asked him, thinking that I knew the answer.  Hey, I’m self-aware.  I know my faults; I know where I need to improve and I’m already working on myself!  Lucky for me, my buddy didn't sugarcoat it.  And while his response was not what I was expecting, he did me a huge favor by giving it to me straight.   I now know exactly what I’m facing as I work towards changing these perceptions.

    Imagine if I hadn't asked.

    I could've been living in la-la land, thinking everything's great, my message is crystal clear, people know who I am and continuing on with that same narrative.  While out there, people were making assumptions about me and my messaging was NOT resonating.   Ouch.

    Think about your career and your goals.  Are you skipping the uncomfortable feedback? Are you assuming (like I did) that you’ve been doing this so long, people MUST know the real you?

    IGNORING YOUR BLIND SPOTS IS A CAREER DERAILER.

    When you receive feedback that’s hard to hear or that you weren’t expecting – two things can happen.   One, you hear a real truth and you can then own it, address it, and come back stronger.

    Or two, what you’re hearing is a perception and they are seeing you through their own reality. Their truth.  Which may be very different than yours.  Manage that perception, and you're in the clear. But remember, their perception is their reality, not necessarily yours.

    Not so easy.  Here’s how you can overcome a perception:

    Debunk the idea or have an open conversation.  Thoughtfully and unemotionally address the assumptions (even if they are incorrect) and if someone's dodging your olive branch, don’t stress. You made the effort. You took the high road.  And if and when that negative feedback resurfaces - you can remain confident in who you are because you know you did the right thing.



    Bottom line? Embrace the feedback, whether it's legit or not, because knowing how people perceive you is your golden ticket to accessing your next level. No one grows by only looking at the good things – we grow by understanding and embracing our imperfections.

Great help to center yourself and your life with practical solutions.

Nancy is so good at breaking down the subjects she chooses to talk about. I find her so easy to listen to and her suggestions are practical and spot on. She personable, smart and very helpful!

Kellyjo7 ,

Great content and practical advice

Nancy and Beth hit the topics that matter to professional women with humor, wit, and logic. They weave their own personal experiences into their shows and keep their audience engaged and interested in what they are going to say next. I’ve enjoyed applying their real-world, straightforward guidance in both my professional and personal life. Keep up the great work, ladies!

AbFac ,

Relevant, real world information

With Nancy, what you see is what you get. While other podcasts bring platitudes and impossibly big tasks, Nancy brings her trademark authenticity and experience to the audience.

Nancy is an advocate for women by teaching us practical ways to advocate for ourselves. She suggests small changes that make a big difference- from eliminating self-defeating language from our business discourse to negotiation skills, and more.

Highly recommend the podcast and her book!
