Have you ever woken up feeling like your life doesn’t fit you anymore—even though, from the outside, everything looks “fine”?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Lisa McGuire speaks directly to the soul of the high-achiever who is feeling disconnected, foggy, and flat. If life has started to feel like a copy-paste routine and the spark is gone, this isn’t a breakdown—it’s a breakthrough.

Lisa introduces the concept of identity evolution, a sacred invitation to leave behind the version of yourself built on expectations, and step into the version you were always meant to become.

You’ll learn why overthinking may be blocking your clarity, how to interpret emotional signals as allies, and discover tangible grounding techniques like breathwork, nature immersion, and somatic awareness to help reconnect with your true self.

This episode isn’t about performance, hustle, or more doing—it’s about remembering who you are at your core. Tune in, exhale, and prepare to come home to yourself.

Key Takeaways: * Identity evolution is not a crisis—it's a sacred call to realignment. * Feeling numb or foggy is often a symptom of energetic overload, not personal failure. * Overthinking isn't always the answer—sometimes, the mind is the noise. * Your emotions are messengers, not enemies. * Grounding techniques reconnect you with your body, intuition, and truth. * The life that once impressed others may no longer inspire you—and that’s okay. * “More” isn’t about status, it’s about being fully alive. * Transformation begins with honoring rest, presence, and emotional truth.

The Story That Changes Everything

Picture this: You're in yet another meeting running too long. One person won’t stop talking, tension is building, and no one addresses the elephant in the room.

Then someone speaks up:

“I’m feeling overwhelmed because I need some clarity. Would you be willing to give us a two-minute summary?”

No blame. No drama. Just clarity and connection. That’s the transformational power of what Clarice Belcher calls the language of compassion.

Why You Need This Episode

Leadership isn’t just about metrics and meetings—it’s about human connection. Clarice Belcher, a master in nonviolent communication, shares how unmet emotional needs—not failed strategies—are often at the root of disengagement, burnout, and conflict.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Lead with emotional fluency using a proven 4-step framework
  • Distinguish between feelings and judgments (“I feel that was unfair” ≠ a feeling)
  • Make clear requests without micromanaging
  • Build cultures of “power with,” not “power over”

Clarice’s insights—drawn from her decades of work and real stories from Microsoft, IBM, and beyond—show how empathy and emotional intelligence create workplaces where people want to show up and contribute.

The Takeaway

This isn’t “soft” leadership—it’s smart, human-centered, and effective.

If you’re ready to shift from pushing harder to connecting deeper, listen in. You’ll walk away with tools to create more trust, more engagement, and more aligned action—starting with your next conversation.

You've been there—that moment after a sales call when you realize you've done all the talking. You've shared your expertise, pitched your solution, even offered to "follow up" (again). And somehow, you still feel like you're the one chasing them.

What if that feeling isn't just in your head? What if you're actually giving away your power in these interactions without even realizing it?

In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, host Lisa McGuire sits down with sales powerhouse Amy Sulka to uncover the hidden mindset traps that sabotage your success long before any negotiation begins.

The Truth No One Tells You About Sales Amy doesn't mince words: "No one is taking our power. We're giving it away."

This isn't just another tactical sales conversation about closing techniques or objection handling. It's a wake-up call about how the subtle language we use, the desperation we carry, and the assumptions we make silently undermine our authority with every interaction.

Amy reveals how saying things like "I'm just following up" or "Thank you for your time" aren't harmless pleasantries—they're unconscious signals that diminish your equal business stature and position you as a vendor rather than a trusted advisor.

Whether you're a solopreneur trying to land your next client, a sales professional hitting roadblocks, or a business owner tired of working "in" rather than "on" your business, Amy's perspective provides the permission and pathway to step into your power.

Listen to this episode if you're ready to transform not just how you sell, but how you show up in every professional interaction. As Amy reminds us, "Until you think of yourself as a trusted advisor, your prospect never will."

KEY TAKEAWAYS * In what situations do we stop qualifying and start pitching and hoping. * What's behind our avoiding tough money conversations * How chasing unqualified leads creates a self-fulfilling prophecy * The real reason prospects "ghost" us after meetings * The "pattern interrupt" technique that immediately elevates trust in sales conversations * Why qualifying out is more profitable than chasing every lead * How the subtle word "just" is costing you authority and deals * The three questions that qualify any opportunity properly

Ever feel like you’re crushing it on paper but quietly burning out behind the scenes?

You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not broken.

In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, Lisa McGuire welcomes Aaron Morrison, a straight-shooting performance and mindset coach who helps high-achieving entrepreneurs uncover what’s really driving their stress, procrastination, and emotional exhaustion.

Together, they explore what happens when outward success masks inner burnout—and how to shift from high-functioning survival mode to sustainable, emotionally aligned performance. You’ll hear about Aaron’s unique approach to emotional regulation, how subconscious patterns create sabotage loops, and the truth behind the “never enough” mentality so many top performers silently carry.

This episode is a soul-level reset for anyone who's outwardly successful but inwardly stuck. Tune in for a candid exploration of what it really takes to align your inner programming with your goals, regulate your emotions, and finally stop running from your own success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Burnout isn’t a badge of honor—it’s your body sounding the alarm. High performers often push through exhaustion, mistaking it for drive. But burnout is your signal to pause, recalibrate, and realign.
  • The “never enough” mindset is a silent thief of joy. When your ambition is fueled by fear or unworthiness, no amount of success feels satisfying. Recognizing this trap is the first step to freedom.
  • True transformation begins with radical self-awareness and ownership. Nothing changes until you take responsibility for how you show up—internally and externally.
  • Procrastination isn’t laziness—it’s fear in disguise. Whether it’s fear of failure, success, or visibility, naming it gives you power over it.
  • Emotional regulation isn’t soft—it’s your strategic edge. The ability to manage your inner state directly impacts your decision-making, leadership, and long-term performance.
  • Sustainable success requires more than strategy—it requires emotional alignment. You don’t need another course or checklist. You need to align your beliefs, behavior, and nervous system with the future you’re building.

Are hidden money beliefs holding your business back? In this transformative episode, we uncover how financial anxiety might be the invisible barrier between you and the business you're meant to lead.

In this powerful conversation, Lisa McGuire is joined by Brian Rump – a former commercial banker turned business coach, certified hypnotist, and expert in financial trauma. They dive deep into how inherited money stories shape our business decisions, why financial anxiety keeps entrepreneurs playing small, and the practical steps to rewrite your relationship with money from the inside out.

If you've ever felt that knot in your stomach when talking about pricing, investing in your business, or making financial decisions, this episode offers the clarity and permission you need to transform fear into confidence.

Key Takeaways * Why every business problem is often a money problem in disguise * How financial trauma gets passed down and shapes your business decisions without your awareness * The surprising connection between marketing blocks and money fears * Why shame around money is learned—and how to unlearn it * How hypnosis can rewire deep-seated financial beliefs * The freedom that comes from questioning "shoulds" in your business * Why hustle culture formulas don't work for everyone * The difference between having money and having financial confidence

The stories you tell yourself about money aren't facts—they're just stories. And like any story, they can be rewritten. Awareness is your starting point, and from there, you can begin building a business—and a life—rooted in confidence, abundance, and truth.

Don't stay stuck in outdated narratives. Rewrite your money story. Your future self will thank you.

Hold on tight—because the future of leadership is being redefined, and the evidence is undeniable.

In this captivating second part of Lisa McGuire’s conversation with Dr. Don Barden, globally recognized behavioral economist and author of Here Come the Girls, we dive into the real, data-driven reasons why women are not only rising in leadership—but are poised to take the global lead by 2028.

Dr. Barden unpacks four years of scientific research that reveals the “secret sauce” of female leadership and why it's not about gender politics—it's about better leadership, period. From empowering workforces to driving economic innovation, women embody a leadership style that aligns with what employees, consumers, and organizations need most in today’s fast-moving world.

This is more than a movement—it’s a celebration backed by metrics, market shifts, and undeniable momentum.

Whether you lead a business, support leaders, or simply want to stay ahead of the curve, this conversation is the compass you didn’t know you needed.

🔑 Key Takeaways: 1. Women are projected to dominate global leadership by 2028. 2. Female leaders outperform male counterparts 3:1 in profitability, retention, and culture. 3. Empowerment—not fixing—is the new leadership superpower. 4. “Seen, heard, and understood” employees drive higher engagement and results. 5. Women’s humility is their strength—unlocking trust, loyalty, and performance. 6. Leadership today is less about ego and more about collective intelligence. 7. HR and C-suite roles are evolving—get ahead by embracing empowerment. 8. Fair > Win-Win: Female leaders prioritize what’s fair for all stakeholders. 9. Men are embracing these principles too—it’s not a gender war, it’s evolution.

Data over dogma: this is about facts, not feelings.

💡 Personal Advice: This episode isn’t just information—it’s an invitation. The future is already happening, and it's fair, empowering, and collaborative. If you're a leader—regardless of gender—who wants to thrive in the next evolution of business, now’s the time to unlearn the fix-it mindset and embrace empowerment.

Start asking, “What do they need from me?” and you’ll unlock more than productivity—you’ll unleash potential.

"Work is love made visible." These words have always inspired host, LIsa McGuire, except when she was buried under deadlines and staring at a to-do list she wanted nothing to do with.

This episode asks you to consider - What if our relationship with work isn’t supposed to be about grinding and obligation... but about devotion and love?

In this episode, Lisa shares the moment everything shifted. It was the day she stopped seeing work as a burden and began viewing it as a sacred expression of her identity. This wasn’t about quitting everything or starting over; it was about changing how she showed up for the work already in front of her.

You'll hear how culture has shaped our beliefs around work—from the survival-driven hustle to the deeper call for fulfillment, impact, and authenticity. You’ll learn how to shift from resistance to inspiration and how to identify that zone of genius where your natural gifts and joy collide.

And we’ll go even deeper. You'll be introduced to the transformational lens of Human Design—your energetic blueprint for how you’re meant to work, thrive, and serve. When you understand how you’re designed, clarity comes rushing in, and alignment becomes possible.

Whether you’re burned out, uninspired, or simply craving a more meaningful connection to your work, this episode is your invitation to reconnect to the truth:

Your work is not separate from your purpose. It is the canvas for your soul to be seen. Your gifts matter. Your presence matters. And the world is waiting for your love to be made visible—through the work only you were born to do.

What if the key to becoming a more impactful leader had less to do with strategy—and everything to do with presence?

In this powerful episode, Lisa McGuire is joined once again by Jim Huling, executive coach and co-author of the best-selling book The Four Disciplines of Execution. Together, they explore what it means to lead with humanity, especially in a time when workplaces are craving connection, meaning, and authenticity more than ever.

Jim breaks down how leadership has evolved—from the old days of command-and-control to today’s growing need for purpose-driven, human-centered leadership. With four decades of experience, he shares real stories, thoughtful insights, and practical ways leaders can begin to build trust, foster engagement, and create meaningful cultures—starting now.

From the power of a handwritten note to the simple question every team member is asking (“Does what I do matter?”), this episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about authority—it’s about impact.

Whether you lead a team of five or five thousand, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to lead in a way that’s not only more effective—but deeply human.

Key Takeaways * The best leaders connect before they correct. * “No involvement, no commitment” — people support what they help create. * Trust and psychological safety drive real performance. * Small gestures, like handwritten notes, leave lasting legacies. * Authentic leadership is about being, not just appearing. * Every employee wants to feel like they matter—and that someone cares. * Culture lives in daily behaviors, not in a framed mission statement. * Your energy and rituals set the emotional climate for your team. * Leading others well starts with leading yourself well. * Your legacy will be defined by how you led, not what you achieved.

Ever feel like you're drowning in your own success? This week, we feature Leah Marone for a conversation about what every overwhelmed high achiever needs to hear right now.

Leah isn't just a psychotherapist and corporate wellness consultant – she's been in the trenches herself as a former Division I athlete who understands what it means to push beyond limits.

In a heart-to-heart chat, she opens up about her journey and shares wisdom from her upcoming book "Serial Fixer" that will leave you nodding in agreement and scribbling notes frantically.

We dive into the real struggle of perfectionism (hello, inner critic!), why so many of us can't stop fixing everyone else's problems, and how the boundaries we think we're setting might not be working at all. Leah's approach is refreshingly honest – no corporate jargon or empty promises, just practical wisdom for people who are tired of burning the candle at both ends.

One of your favorite moments may be when Leah explains why saying "What are your options?" to your team members is infinitely more powerful than swooping in to save the day.

Whether you're feeling the weight of leadership, struggling to turn off "work mode," or simply wondering if there's a better way to achieve without the constant exhaustion, this episode feels like permission to breathe again – while still crushing your goals.

Leah's insights have been featured everywhere from Psychology Today to The Atlantic and Newsweek, but there's something about hearing her passion directly that hits differently. Her upcoming book, "Serial Fixer," needs to definitely be on your pre-order list.

This is the conversation you’ll wish you would have heard years ago – before learning these lessons the hard way. Don't miss it.

Key Takeaways

  • Why your perfectionism might actually be protecting you (and when it's time to let it go)
  • The real reason setting boundaries feels impossible for high achievers
  • How to empower your team without micromanaging them to death
  • A refreshing take on women's leadership that doesn't involve pretending to be someone else
  • Simple daily practices that help quiet that nagging voice in your head

What if the secret to a thriving workplace wasn’t just about teamwork — but about boundaries? In this episode, we’re joined by Amy Armstrong, a Conflict Resolution Specialist and Coach, to explore how setting healthy, respectful boundaries is the key to a positive, sustainable workplace culture.

Too often, we associate boundaries with rejection or negativity. But Amy introduces a radically different perspective: "Pro-Me, Not Anti-You." This approach empowers individuals to honor their own limits while maintaining collaboration, trust, and respect within a team.

If your workplace feels stressful, chaotic, or overwhelming, this conversation will give you the tools to reshape your culture—without conflict or guilt.

Key Takeaways: ✔️ Why boundaries aren’t selfish—they’re essential for a strong workplace culture ✔️ The ‘Pro-Me, Not Anti-You’ mindset—what it means and how to use it ✔️ How weak boundaries lead to burnout, micromanagement, and disengagement ✔️ The neuroscience behind stress—and how boundaries improve well-being ✔️ How leaders can foster an environment where employees feel safe to set boundaries ✔️ Simple scripts to set limits without creating tension

Is your company saying all the right things to customers while silently pushing away your best employees? In this eye-opening episode of Your Passion, Purpose and Personal Brand, we sit down with Nader Safinya, known as The Culture Branding Guy, who reveals the dangerous gap between what companies say and what they actually do.

After an incredible journey that included applying to 460 jobs in just six months, Nader developed a revolutionary approach to branding that focuses on the alignment between internal culture and external messaging. He shares how this disconnect is costing businesses both talent and customers and provides a practical framework for building brands people actually trust.

Whether you're a business leader struggling with retention, a marketer trying to build authentic connections, or someone interested in workplace culture transformation, this conversation will change how you think about branding forever.

Episode Highlights: * The two fundamental questions every company needs to answer honestly (and why most businesses get at least one of them wrong) * Why your job descriptions might be sabotaging your recruitment efforts before candidates even apply * The surprising connection between how you treat employees and how customers perceive your brand * A counterintuitive approach to transparency that prevents culture breakdown during major transitions * The systematic problem Nader discovered in workplace culture * The "Inside-Outside-In" method for creating alignment between what you say and what you do * How to tell if your company is truly "people-first" or just using it as an empty marketing slogan

Listen now to discover why the most important branding work happens long before your marketing team creates a single ad campaign!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or stuck in survival mode? In a world that constantly demands more from us, the secret to personal and professional growth isn't doing more—it’s doing less. In this episode, Lisa explores the transformative power of boundaries and how they can help you reclaim your energy, creativity, and purpose.

Many of us believe success comes from hustle, grit, and saying yes to everything. But what if the key to unlocking your true potential is actually removing what no longer serves you? Boundaries aren’t about shutting people out—they’re about making space for what truly matters.

Redefine what it means to set boundaries, protect your energy, and step into the best version of yourself. This isn’t just about personal growth—it’s a movement toward collective evolution.

Key Takeaways: ✅ The myth of "more is more"—why success isn't about adding but about subtracting ✅ How boundaries act as a fortress for your nervous system, protecting your mental and emotional health ✅ The difference between walls and boundaries—one isolates, the other empowers ✅ How to identify the areas of your life where you need stronger boundaries ✅ Practical strategies to set boundaries without guilt and stick to them ✅ Why saying no to negativity creates space for clarity, creativity, and growth ✅ The hidden cost of ignoring boundaries—and how it keeps us stuck in burnout

In this episode, Lisa sits down with Eileen Nebhut, a highly sought-after image consultant and entrepreneur, to uncover the secrets of executive presence, personal branding, and the psychology of style. After years in leadership roles spanning publishing, energy, and fintech, Eileen took a bold leap into entrepreneurship—helping high-performing professionals transform their image into an asset.

But here’s the truth: personal branding is not just about fashion. It’s about showing up in a way that aligns with your goals, communicates authority, and fuels your confidence.

Through personal stories and hard-won insights, Lisa opens up about her journey with AI – the fears, the excitement, and yes, even the mistakes. What makes this episode special isn't just the practical advice. Lisa connects with what we all feel: that mix of wonder and worry about where technology is taking us. She gets it. She's been there. And she's found a way forward that doesn't require sacrificing who we are.

You'll hear Lisa share insights about:

  • The delicate dance between embracing AI and protecting our creative spirit
  • Why your lived experiences and human intuition are irreplaceable
  • How to use AI as a partner in your work without letting it take the wheel
  • Finding the courage to stay authentically you in a world pushing for automation

"AI might mimic style, but it can't replicate connection," Lisa reminds us, in one of many moments that will have you nodding in agreement. Her message is clear: Your humanity is your superpower – with all its beautiful imperfections.

This isn't just another tech talk. It's a heart-to-heart about staying true to ourselves while embracing the future. Whether you're excited about AI, terrified of it, or somewhere in between, Lisa's wisdom-filled perspective will help you find your footing.

When asked to share their “why,” many people reach for the easiest answer—their family. While family can be a powerful inspiration, defaulting to this response often overlooks the unique talents, passions, and values that drive our work. In this episode, Lisa explores why falling back on such answers may shortchange your ability to connect authentically and stand out in a competitive world. Inspired by Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle, we’ll discuss how starting with your “why” can transform not only how you communicate but also how you live.

Finding your true “why” is a journey that requires intentional reflection, vulnerability, and honesty. It’s about moving beyond surface-level motivations and discovering the deeper purpose that informs your work and your life.

Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of transactional work or feeling disconnected from your passions, uncovering your authentic “why” can create a sense of clarity, connection, and contribution that resonates with others.

Key Takeaways

  • Family as a default “why” might miss the deeper story. While family can inspire, the “why” that drives your work is often rooted in personal passions and unique values.
  • A popular framework can help reframe your narrative. Start with “why” to create more authentic and memorable connections.
  • Transactional work leads to disconnection. Understanding your deeper motivations can transform your career into a calling.
  • Your “why” is the connection point. It’s the story that makes you memorable and allows others to resonate with your message.
  • Reflection is key. Ask yourself questions like: What ticks you off? What breaks your heart? What big problem are you trying to solve?"

In today’s episode of Your Passion, Purpose and Personal Brand Podcast with Lisa McGuire, we challenge the belief that there’s one fixed life path we must all follow.

Instead, we uncover what happens when you recognize your own power to choose—and how it transforms your life for the better.

You’ll learn why personal autonomy can be both thrilling and unsettling, how looking back at past experiences can shape (and sometimes limit) your present, and why it’s crucial to design a future based on your unique values and desires.

The common belief that there is one path to success can be limiting. The fear of what others will think or breaking the rules can keep us playing small. It's only one version of the narrative.

Key Takeaways:

  • Recognize the Myth: A “predestined life path” is only one version of the story you can write.
  • You Are the Author: It's your story. You get to be the author.
  • Honor the Past, But Don’t Dwell: Reflect on past experiences to learn and grow; don’t let fear of repetition keep you stuck.
  • Small Steps, Big Shifts: Making small, intentional decisions in alignment with your values can lead to transformative change.
  • Create Your Future: Start focusing on what you do want rather than what you don’t—let your imagination and passions guide the next chapter of your life.

What do you think of when you hear the word "networking?" Whether you like it, love it, or see it as a necessary part of a professional career, there's a way you can be successful at it, and grow your business too.

  • Lead with generosity can range from offering help, sharing knowledge or a kind gesture to pave the way for powerful connections.
  • Digital spaces need human connection, too. Sincerity and care should always be at the forefront.

Communication is rarely easy, especially when you are speaking across generational divides. In this episode, internal communication strategist and SXSW speaker, Scott Waldron, highlights the importance of communication and building influence within organizations.

We use communication to drive more influence as our companies respond to the fluctuating expansion of the marketplace. We also feel the rising pressure to have influence when very few jobs are considered "safe" any longer. The problem is when companies focus more on external communication and neglect prioritizing internal needs.

Skot also shares his insights on generational differences and the benefit to our companies when we can create mutual understanding by bridging the gap to create cultures where people want to work.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Communication skills can improve when you start with self-awareness to recognize your strengths and areas for improvement.
  • The reasons behind companies prioritizing external communication over internal and the impact this has on your people.
  • How people are using communication to gain influence
  • Areas in which imposter syndrome shows up
  • The source of generational differences in the workplace and what can be done about it

When a term has multiple meanings it's not unusual for another word to come in an take it's place.

That's what's happened with the term "Personal Branding". We've tried to distance ourselves from the carefully crafted and less than truthful image and replace it with the word "authentic."This replay episode is the final in the bridge series to season three.

In this episode you'll learn,

  • People may be hesitant to be authentic for fear of judgment of what others think.
  • Being authentic does not require you share every detail of your life.

  • True authenticity requires self-awareness and deep introspection to understand who you really are at your core.
  • Authencity executed for the purpose of serving others can allow for deeper connections, builds trust, and attracts like-minded individuals.

After wrapping up 100 weekly episodes, Lisa is on hiatus until the start of season 3. To prepare for the new season we've curated a series of previous episodes as an onramp to help you step more fully into your purpose in the new year.

It's at this time of year we often reflect on what we were able to accomplish. What if, instead, we took this time to consider who we became as a person? How did you invest in your personal development? In what ways do you relate to others differently? How do you pay it forward by being who you are?

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is we become more valuable the more that we do.

We get caught up in the race to nowhere with our to-do lists that are never done.

Why do we hide? It's because we feel unworthy.

We glamorize being busy. If we are so busy then we must be important too.

In this episode, you'll learn...

  • How we create a gap and judge those who prioritize their human being-ness first.
  • The impact on our self worth based on our accomplishments.
  • The value of accepting imperfections and embracing humanity
  • 7 ways to change from a human DO-ing to a human BE-ing
  • Letting go of the need for a never-ending to-do list
  • Lightening up and finding more joy and humor

Take a look around at what the world often defines as "success." It's often presented as a 7- or 8-figure business. While that may be the destination some want, there are few people who talk about what it requires of us to get there.

It wasn’t that long ago that the busier you were, the more important you felt. We glamourize grinding it out by working long hours and getting lots done. The dirty secret was those 12- 14- or 16-hour days caused relationships to break, our health to fail, and put us on the road to burnout. The conversation has shifted to the importance of mental health and prioritizing what’s truly important. Freedom to live how you want is the new definition of success.

Kris Ward is a strong voice in that conversation as the leading authority in leveraging your time and scaling your business. She helps entrepreneurs change the landscape of how they spend their days by helping them save up to 25 hours a week from the first month of working with her.

Our time is precious and while we may want success, perhaps what we want is freedom. Join Lisa and Kris for today’s conversation to think differently about how you can operate while scaling your business.

Steve Reiter is a 25-year internationally syndicated broadcasting professional who worked on a Radio Hall of Fame show before founding Right Turn media.

He’s also the founder of The NEVER Alone project. It’s a non-profit that was born as a result of the forced isolation his wife endured during the pandemic when hospitalized for a non-covid-related illness.

Her death after 21 days prompted him to launch this organization to create national legislation for the purpose of supporting a patient’s right to at least one screened visitor per day with no time limits.

This is a story of how the power of healing through another’s presence was ignored by thousands of people. Steve is a changemaker who is compelled to do something about it.

Not only is this a celebration of 50 weekly episodes, but it’s also the end-of-the-year episode for 2022.

It's not unusual for people to reflect on the year and take away meaningful lessons. Lisa shares her thoughts on looking back to measure progress and how it can connect you to others. 

Those we choose to surround ourselves with can be one of the reasons for our progress. They can also be one of the reasons why we stall out. The people you spend your time with shape who you are. Be intentional about choosing who that is.

Entrepreneurs are known for going “all-in” on their business. This effort often comes at the expense of others who are left behind to get the scraps of their energy and focus.
