What IS this Mother Leadership Style that everyone keeps talking about? And how can each person - men, women, physical mothers and not - embrace this Leadership Area today? Join us as we talk with amazing mama and executive coach Lisa da Rocha as we discuss motherhood, the different choices on how to live that out...and why we all need to just get along.
Lisa, by the way, is an AMAZING coach and one of my favorite people out there. Call her up! She's such a great advocate to have at your side. You can find her at https://www.lisadarocha.com/
Y'all. Nebraska girl here. Emotions make me want to dig a big deep dark hole and crawl into it for...well, kind of forever. So why do we talk about emotions? Why do we, actually, have to go there to be successful at this game called life? Dive in with us as we chat today with James Robertson of "The Practice of Happiness" and discuss that e-word, connection...and maybe a little bit of play.
What if...what if we already had all the skills that we needed, we just didn't know it? What if all of our experience up until now has given us the tools to be amazing, wildly successful - in exactly the way that we want? And what if...what if we could pass those on to some other mother leaders out there, too? Well. Let's chat about that. Join us as we chat with hula mama, surfer girl, fellow milspo and entrepreneur Ida Bluhm - and find those tools to bring our own skills into our conscious awareness - and the gift that brings to us all.
How do we navigate toward the helpful, the empowering stories in our lives? You know - the ones that actually get us where we want to go? Well...as coaches, we hold in our heads a firm conviction that every person is naturally creative, resourceful, and whole - which means you got it ALL inside of yourself. So what's the point of coaching? And, oh...that's a fascinating place to go. Chat with fellow leadership coach and colleague Isabelle Lee-Gelard as we discuss finding our own way forward, accelerating that process, and how every parent in the world is actually secretly a leadership coach themselves.
Why do we talk about image SO much?? Why is it a topic that we women, especially, both love and hate? Well...it's all about the company you keep. Join us for a chat with fellow superwoman and DC lawyer Rachel Jennings as we discuss image, who we surround ourselves with, how that impacts us, and why it's important for us amazing servant leaders to get our inspiring images out there into the world.
Join us as we chat with husband and Lt. Col Jonathan Westbrook about stories, using storytelling as a parent, and (GASP!!!) religion.
Why on earth is movement important? And WHY do people that move a lot seem to have more stuff in their life organized and pulled together? Join us as we chat with Movement Coach and Owner of FineStretch Movement Tech Hali Fiano about movement, how it unlocks us, and why it's important.
Join Hubs Jon from Iraq and yours truly from Roma as we discuss Judgement!! And...judgement in marriage. Chat with us as we discuss how we got over judgement (sort of...?) in our relationship, and how we still keep working on it. Judgement! Curiosity! Captains! Shoulds! We're talkin' about it ALL today. Plus...a reading of Becoming Superwoman 1.0, Chapter 10: Judgement (warning: explicit content in that chapter).
Why do we care about our images? And how can we do so in a healthy, not crazy way? Chatting with surfer and hula girl Ida Bluhm about image, it's gifts, and how our image impacts our insides - and our insides impact our image.

I’m of the Christian faith tradition, and I love to think about those stories from a woman’s point of view. Ever visited that Garden of Eden? What, in fact, actually happened there? A fun interlude brain tickler to think about what would Eve do today...
What the crap is going on with commitment in society today? And intimacy? And commitment and intimacy? Struggling with the dragons of partnerships - to include work partnerships, friendships, family, and marriage - and trying to find the path to navigate through.
Sometimes life hands us a fire to walk through - and we get to choose what to do with it. What does that choice look like? And how do we deal with others that are trying to point out that fire to us? Is that abuse - or growth? Walking that fine line...who knows what that answer is?
What are the rainbows that make up our selves? And how on earth do they help us in our lives? A discussion about all of the hidden voices inside each of us - and a reading of Chapter 3 in Becoming Superwoman 1.0
Why why why do we crash up against people around us?? And how do we deal with it? Why leadership does in isolation, and why we need those people around us to help us find ourselves.
