If this is the next 30 yrs of your life, is this enough? That's what Genevieve Piturro asked herself and then everything changed!That was the question that started it all for her and it came from her heart. Listen to what she has to say:
Now, everything I do is about empowering you to create a more fulfilling life and be a more purposeful and impactful leader. As I like to say, it starts with FINDING YOUR PAJAMAS!
You see, my life changed forever the day I made it my mission to get children in emergency shelters across New York City a pair of pajamas. Such a simple gesture touched so many hearts big and small, and we expanded across the country! Before I began volunteering to read bedtime stories to these children, I had no idea that tens of thousands of them were going to bed every night without pajamas. You can imagine the trauma, despair, and loneliness I saw in the children’s faces and that broke my heart, over and over again. Once I began my visits with pajamas, my heart seemed to know what to do – I had found my purpose – in PAJAMAS.
Instead of just dreaming about doing something great, I founded Pajama Program, which is changing the lives of children, but also impacting so many of our supporters’ lives too. Learning to listen to the voice in my heart changed my life forever and helped me become the person – and leader - I always wanted to be. And in the middle of it all, I found myself being interviewed by Oprah!
Now, Let’s Talk About YOUR Purpose, Passion, and Leadership!
I have learned that everything begins when we find purpose in our lives. So many of us are re-evaluating our paths because we want more fulfillment. We want the work we do and the people we do it with to make a difference in this world. This kind of thinking can transform how you do your job, how office teams work together, and how leaders at every level lead.
I want to help you listen to your heart voice, honor your purpose and your passion, and FIND YOUR PAJAMAS!You can find her here: https://www.genevievepiturro.com/

Today I'm a guest on Rachel King's podcast Feed Yourself. We discuss how sports had a negative effect on my body image.
“Historically, in terms of gender, I think we would we have seen higher numbers of females with the experience of disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image concerns and thoughts,” says Streno. For some perspective, roughly 80 percent of women in the U.S. reportedly are unhappy with the way they look, and 70 percent of ‘normal weight’ women report that they want to be thinner. Even between the ages of three and six years old, half of girls worry about ‘being fat.’

Dance and Cheer Team weigh-ins made me really self-conscious of my body and weight. I have two girls and don't want to see them go through the same struggles.

Kathy has been excited to start her company, shorten the struggle, to help single moms navigate anything from the divorce process to the new norm of single parenthood. She is a single mom of two children and has raised them on her own for 11 years now. She knows the road to raising kids on your own can be quite challenging and she hopes to help as many single moms as she can realize their strength, power and ability to be their best self not only for their children but for themselves.
She can identify with the struggles of a single mom as she herself struggled with navigating the process of divorce, finding work, finances and trying to stay functioning for her children. It took her about 7 years to get back on her feet. She feels if she had known where to find the right support, she could have shortened that struggle.
She is currently working on her divorce coaching certification to help single moms navigate the divorce process as well as provide support, insight and encouragement to help get them back on their feet.

How do you feel about networking? A good bit of us absolutely hates it. Next time you have a networking event ask how you can make it fun. How can you make a game out of it?
I absolutely love Mel Robbins and she shares some tips for instantly connecting with people which I recap in this episode.
Mel shared her four secrets to creating an instant connection with someone:
1) Proximity. Put yourself directly next to people you’re interested in.
2) Similarities. In conversation, ask questions, find similarities to create instant clicks with people.
3) Physical Touch. Eye contact and friendly touch help you establish a connection with someone.

Complaining rarely solves anything.I walk through life with a heart of gratitude. It is an approach that produces more positive results for me. Complaining is destructive and takes my mind off the blessings that surround me.
Things get tough sometimes, but I have the tenacity to deal with them. Instead of moaning about them, I rise above the negative energy.
Complaining robs me of opportunity. It puts my attention on things that offer little positive input. I prefer to spend time figuring out the way forward. When I see an answer ahead of me, I feel good about myself.
Sometimes, things can feel like a burden but whining about it is fruitless. When something is unfulfilling, I take the steps to move away from it.
I know that I deserve a life that lights me up and caters to my passions. Dwelling in the midst of things that make me miserable is self-destructive. I am committed to putting myself in situations where I grow instead of shrinking.
Today, I choose to alter the things that I can instead of complaining about them. It brings me great peace of mind to put myself in a situation that is fulfilling and rewarding.
Self-Reflection Questions:1. What types of issues do my friends and family complain to me about? 2. Which coping mechanism do I use when I am unable to change my situation? 3. In which situations is it worthwhile to speak up?

I would love to say we decided as a family to do this but I decided that this was needed for me and the kids especially. Instant gratification and impulse spending have gotten the best of us and I'm looking at September as a reset on our spending habits. I have a feeling we'll find half the things we wanted to buy earlier in the month are no longer on our list when October rolls around. We're also heading off to Florida for fall break and no spend September means we can have even more fun while we're there. I also want to use the month to shift our focus from what we want to giving to others and plan to bless our local homeless population as well as our church as much as we can. I think it's going to be a great learning lesson all around.
Here is the checklist for your no-spend month:
1. Set No Spend Rules - you can make this month whatever you want
2. Decide On Your Reason Before You Begin to Keep You Motivated
3. Join A No Spend Community - Join me or other friends to keep you going
4. Be Ready to Face Criticism (But Completely Ignore The Haters!)
5. Allow Yourself An Outlet Or Reward - icecream, please
6. Write A Budget And Meal Plan if you want to save on groceries as well

Blush is a women-focused coworking space with childcare.
Allison and Natasha wanted to create a coworking space with a few key differences and they definitely succeeded! They are open to all, but want to focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for women to work, collaborate, achieve and flourish. Traditional coworking spaces are generally located in city centers or downtown areas, but they chose to focus on coming to their members and making it easy to drop in, whether it’s just you, your team, or even with children in tow. They believe that childcare should not be a luxury, and realize what a huge factor reliable, safe childcare plays in any parent’s potential to be productive or creative.
This is no We Work!
Blush is a safe, empowering space for women to network, learn, create, and join their community through collaborative coworking and events. Their values are to:
- Recognize and encourage the work of all women. What you do is valuable, necessary, and amazing.
- Provide a safe space for you and your work to flourish, and for you to connect with potential collaborators.
- Treat each member and guest with respect and integrity.
- Honor your personal and professional values by providing a space free from hate, abuse, and harassment of any kind.
- Celebrate all of you, including work and life milestones and advancements.

As a Flight Instructor, she is raising up a new round of pilots who are quickly moving from flight school to captain status. She discusses the changes she's seeing in the industry and how grateful she is to be a part of it. The profession of aviation pilot has been historically and still is, a male-dominated occupation. Notwithstanding aviation's history of legendary women aviators, the airline sector of the aviation industry has been slow in recruiting, training and advancing female pilots until now. With baby boomers reaching retirement each major airline is set to bring on 6000-8000 new pilots. There's never been a better time to become a Pilot and Emily breaks down what that career path looks like.

This solo episode is all about confidence. My coaching tackles this subject with people again and again. Average thinking and actions lead to average results. They also lead to average levels of confidence. It would be nice to just have confidence without doing anything to deserve feelings of confidence, but that’s a tough trick to pull off. You can take a few simple steps and be the deserving recipient of all the confidence you’ll ever need. I'll outline those in this episode. Small goals, weak effort, and mediocre results won’t result in high levels of self-confidence. You can only expect to feel as confident as the average person. Set your sights higher.
Instead of setting small goals to avoid disappointing yourself, set big goals that give you the chance to be highly successful. Instead of actions and a level of activity that might lead to success, do so much that you can’t fail. The resulting boost of confidence you receive is well-deserved. Enjoy it and then repeat the process.

Blush is a women-focused coworking space with childcare.
Allison and Natasha wanted to create a coworking space with a few key differences and they definitely succeeded! They are open to all, but want to focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for women to work, collaborate, achieve and flourish. Traditional coworking spaces are generally located in city centers or downtown areas, but they chose to focus on coming to their members and making it easy to drop in, whether it’s just you, your team, or even with children in tow. They believe that childcare should not be a luxury, and realize what a huge factor reliable, safe childcare plays in any parent’s potential to be productive or creative.
This is no We Work!
Blush is a safe, empowering space for women to network, learn, create, and join their community through collaborative coworking and events. Their values are to:
- Recognize and encourage the work of all women. What you do is valuable, necessary, and amazing.
- Provide a safe space for you and your work to flourish, and for you to connect with potential collaborators.
- Treat each member and guest with respect and integrity.
- Honor your personal and professional values by providing a space free from hate, abuse, and harassment of any kind.
- Celebrate all of you, including work and life milestones and advancements.

"For some women, enrolling in an engineering course is like running a psychological gauntlet. If they dodge overt problems like sexual harassment, sexist jokes, or poor treatment from professors, they often still have to evade subtler obstacles like the implicit tendency to see engineering as a male discipline. It’s no wonder women in the U.S. hold just 13 to 22 percent of the doctorates in engineering, compared to an already-low 33 percent in the sciences as a whole." The Atlantic
Beate knows all about this, she's a woman's woman in all the best ways! She has two daughters of her own and is a trailblazer for female engineers.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Roberta Ndlela, a public speaker and coach. She graduated with a Business degree, with Transportation Economics and Planning as a major. Her corporate journey started in 1995, when she worked with engineering companies. Being involved in project teams that incorporated different professionals introduced her to how vital communication skills are, in addition to subject matter expertise.
She started her public speaking career in 2016 and her coaching focus is mainly assisting business owners and career professionals with public speaking, presentation mastery, interpersonal skills, and overall Business English. She shares with us tips to improve our own public speaking. "Brilliant innovations do not serve mankind if hidden on hard drives." She discusses how companies are reluctant to promote project managers who are not able to motivate different team members to work together towards a certain goal. A good percentage of new graduates experience a rude awakening when entering the corporate world. Peer interaction differs from corporate communication. Understanding those distinctions are necessary for being taken seriously and subsequently climbing the corporate ladder. Roberta speaks of all of this in our conversation, if public speaking has ever made you nervous take a listen!

It’s interesting, really, how so many of us live in spaces and worlds that have been built and designed by others. Think of a space you spend a lot of time in. What action, emotion, or purpose do you want it to give? Does it? What could happen, what could you create, what could come into your life if you were the main designer of your world and space? I'm speaking with Allie Waters who is a lifestyle coach for women who want to live a more minimalistic lifestyle and create a home full of meaning and purpose. https://www.alliewaters.com/
