We’re all leaders, sometimes we just need a little inspiration! We're here to share our leadership journeys and interview inspiring women that are taking action and leading purposeful lives.
Summer Vacation!
Before taking a short summer hiatus, Natasha & Dee take some time to reflect on lessons learned thus far.
We discuss how the podcast has helped us grow in other aspects of our lives. Some of our key takeaways include:
-
Focus on the why, not on the how.
-
Know what brings you energy and what depletes your energy.
-
Don't let the fear of failing stop you.
This week we talk with Sarrah Beemer all about meditation and mindfulness.
Connect with Sarrah on Instagram @bewellwithsarrahbeemer or her website www.bewellwithsarrahbeemer.com
Key takeaways:
-
Mindfulness is simply about focusing on what is going on in the present moment and experiencing it without any judgement.
-
You only live this one life, don't miss out on living in the moment.
-
You can start a meditation or mindfulness routine by simply paying attention to your breath and how your body feels when you breathe.
-
Meditation is like finding the right exercise routine or running shoes, you have to find the right style that works for you.
-
Try to incorporate meditation into one of your existing routines.

On this week’s episode we talk with Theresa Feaster, who is currently the Director of Hockey Operations at Providence College with the NCAA men's hockey team. Theresa recently won a gold medal with Team USA at the World Junior Under 20 Men's Hockey Championship in Edmonton, Alberta, where she served as an assistant coach, making her the first female member of a US coaching staff for a major men's hockey tournament. We talk to Theresa about what it's like working in a male dominated industry, shutting down naysayers and achieving success. We chat about the importance of surrounding yourself with likeminded people and the value of a great mentor. We also discuss the future of women in professional men's sports and how determined women like Theresa, are knocking down barriers and paving the way for the next generation.
