This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Phyllis Dealy. She says - “If you're always thinking about, oh, I could have made that decision or I should have done that, you're gonna miss the moment. So how can you be present for what's possible in this moment? And by holding on to that, number one, you can really tap into joy. Because in this moment, we can all choose to be joyful, and we can embrace what is right in front of us. And we have found a lot of power and clarity in that practice.”

Phyllis Dealy and Meaghan Benjamin are the co-founders of Reinvent the World and Studio Reinvent, where they guide executives and teams to communicate with purpose, clarity, and impact. Phyllis is a serial entrepreneur and creator of The Awareness Factor, having worked with clients like PepsiCo, FridaBaby, Aetna, and Susan G. Komen.

Meaghan is an executive communication coach with advanced degrees in speech and hearing science and psychology. She helps leaders strengthen their influence and connection using science-backed tools like storytelling, brain coupling, and conscious listening.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from my own journey -

“Sometimes it's a whisper to change how you work or how you live. It's not like ambition or ego or what the world tells us we should want. The purpose impulse is something deeper. It's innate. It's the voice of your spirit calling you back into alignment with who you really are. And while it may be quiet at first, it's persistent. If you ignore it, it doesn't disappear. It waits. It returns. It taps you on your shoulder, so to speak, whispering, this isn't it. There's something more.”

You know that moment when everything on paper looks great - your career, your accomplishments, your life - and yet something inside still feels off? In this solo episode, I’m naming that feeling.

I call it the purpose impulse, and I share my own story of how it showed up for me years ago while working in child protective services. It was quiet at first, but eventually, it became impossible to ignore. I’ll walk you through what it feels like, why it matters, and how it could be guiding you toward something deeply real and meaningful in your own life.

I also share a powerful moment that changed everything for me - a moment that helped me recognize that the path I was on no longer fit, even though it looked right from the outside. If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions, even while succeeding, this conversation is for you.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  • You’ll learn how to recognize the subtle signs that you’re out of alignment, even when everything looks “fine.”
  • You’ll hear a deeply personal story that helps explain what the purpose impulse really feels like, and why it matters.
  • You’ll get a simple, reflective question to help you reconnect with what your inner voice has been trying to tell you.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Tara Landes. She says – “I think once you've reached that pinnacle or if you're feeling like it's, it's empty or it's not enough, or even if you haven't reached the pinnacle but you're feeling somewhat unfulfilled, I really think that we're social creatures, and we have to find others to share that journey and passion with. Whatever it is, I just I really think that that's what kinda gets missed. We get so caught up on measuring success in terms of money or promotions. And so, really, I think if you're feeling a lack of purpose and a lack of passion, it's time to reach out into the community and find a way to be of service. You'll get way more back than you ever put in.”

Tara Landes is the founder of BellRock Benchmark Inc., a Canadian management consulting firm that helps business leaders solve their most challenging problems and implement lasting organizational change.

After years of working with small businesses across North America, she returned to her hometown of Vancouver, only to realize that the job she wanted didn’t exist - so she built it herself. Drawing from both psychology and business management, Tara has become a trusted advisor to over 300 small business leaders.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. You’ll hear how one woman turned a career crossroads into a thriving consulting business, without having a “perfect plan” in place.
  2. If you’ve ever felt unfulfilled despite success, Tara shares how finding purpose can come from leaning into your natural strengths, and helping others.
  3. You’ll get a smart, practical take on building community, navigating hard times, and how being curious about what feels fun can lead to your purpose.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Laura Zavelson. She says – “My advice or my thought would be if you have any interest in entrepreneurship or any seed of an idea, honor that and explore it because there are a lot of different paths your life can take, and there are ways to derisk entrepreneurship and make it more of a calculated risk rather than something, you know, you're just jumping into the unknown. And especially if you have experience in networking and you're a natural leader like the women you described. But if there's a group of people you'd like to help and a problem that you can solve, there are ways to explore that that can help reduce the risk. And you might unlock some real freedom for yourself to do something that lights you up.”

Laura Zavelson is an MBA, a self-described corporate finance escapee turned serial entrepreneur, former professor of entrepreneurship, and business strategist. She helps Gen Xers - especially women - who’ve been laid off, pushed out, or burned out, turn their hard-earned experience into thriving coaching, consulting, or expert-based businesses.

With 25 years of entrepreneurial experience behind her, Laura is committed to helping women create financial stability, flexibility, and freedom in their next chapter.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. If you’re a high-achieving woman in transition, Laura shares practical and relatable advice for starting something new - even if it’s been a while since you tried.
  2. You’ll learn why your career experience is more valuable than you think, and how it can be the foundation for a business that supports your life and values.
  3. Laura offers thoughtful encouragement for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Do I really have something to offer?” (Spoiler: Yes, you absolutely do.)

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Sabine Schoepke. She says:

“My biggest advice is don't try to get all of the answers. Like, do one tiny little step at a time. Take inventory of, okay, what's feeling good? What's feeling good for me physically and what's not? Change that. Because I really do believe that our feelings are our superpower, are the greatest power that we have. The feelings that are good and the feelings that don't feel good because they show us what's not right. So check-in. Take little steps into the directions that feel good and take a step back from the ones that don't feel good. And you will see that when you take little steps, the next one is gonna present itself. Things are gonna magically fall into place or show up in your life when it's like, oh, wow. So it doesn't need big leaps, and it doesn't need all of the answers. Don't wait for that. Take initiative, take inventory, and take action.”

Sabine Schoepke is a dynamic entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience now dedicated to helping others redefine midlife and create aligned financial freedom. A trailblazer and disruptor, Sabine sold her latest company and retired at 51, shifting her focus to guiding others. Her journey spans seven businesses, a best-selling book, and professional bodybuilding, all of which fuel her unique, authentic coaching style. She empowers clients to embrace true success, grounded in alignment, purpose, and joy.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. Hear Sabine's remarkable journey from homelessness to building seven successful businesses, and the powerful mindset shifts that made it possible.
  2. Discover the simple yet impactful steps you can take to find greater purpose and alignment in your own life.
  3. Learn how Sabine’s bold decision to leave everything behind and seek clarity on a mountain reshaped her life, and how her insights can inspire your next move.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from my own journey -

“After I made the decision to start moving toward alignment with my authentic self, the world felt brighter, felt lighter. I felt energized because for the first time, I was moving towards something that reflected who I really was. And even though I didn't know exactly what the future looked like and had hope, and I felt excited about what was next, even though I didn't have it all figured out. That's what alignment feels like. It doesn't require certainty, and it brings peace.”

In this episode, I wrap up my special three-part series for high-achieving women leaders who are starting to realize that success alone isn’t enough. In part one, I shared the story of the moment I knew I wanted my work to make a difference. In part two, I talked about the hidden cost of staying out of alignment with your authentic self. And now, in part three, I’m answering the question: How do I even start aligning my success with my true purpose?

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. Learn why you don’t need a five-year plan to start moving toward your true purpose — you just need the next step.
  2. Find out how reconnecting with your authentic self can shift your energy, bringing clarity and peace even when you don’t have everything figured out.
  3. Discover how to begin making purpose-aligned decisions that reflect who you really are, so you can be both successful and fulfilled.

Here is the link to register for my free live online workshop on March 18. I would love to see you there and support you on your journey to your true purpose!

This week’s How She Finds Purpose insight comes from my own journey. I once believed that staying in a “good job” meant I was doing the right thing - even when I felt drained, disconnected, and unfulfilled. But I’ve learned that staying stuck comes at a cost.

"Every day, you ignore that inner voice. Every day, you tell yourself, well, this is just how it is, you are risking more than you realize. You are risking your health. You are risking your energy. You are risking your joy. You are risking your creativity, the spark that makes you feel alive, and you're risking the impact you were actually meant to make."

In this second episode of my special three-part series, I’m breaking down what you’re really risking when you stay in a role or life that no longer fits. If you’ve ever felt the Sunday night dread, if you’ve ever told yourself, “This is just how it is,” then this episode is for you.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. You’ll learn why staying out of alignment isn’t as “safe” as it seems, and what it’s actually costing you.
  2. I’ll share how I recognized my own misalignment, so you can start identifying it in your own life.
  3. You’ll hear how to recognize the difference between exhaustion from overwork and exhaustion from being disconnected from your true purpose.

This week’s How She Finds Purpose insight comes from me, Dr. Robin. I say -

"This is so common. We climb the ladder. We get the quote "good job". We do everything we were told would make us happy. But then when we look around, we feel empty. We feel numb, like we're just going through the motions because we built our success on other people's expectations not our authentic self. And when we are out of alignment with our authentic self no amount of success will ever feel like enough."

If you’ve ever thought, I should be happy - I’ve done everything I was supposed to - but why do I feel this way? then this episode is for you. I’m kicking off a three-part series on why success alone isn’t enough, starting with my own story. I’m sharing how I followed the “right” path, checked all the boxes, and still found myself feeling empty - until one simple question changed everything.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. You’ll hear how I went from a leadership role at a major bank, where I looked successful but felt disconnected, to discovering what truly fulfills me.
  2. I’ll introduce two key principles from my Purpose Maker Alignment Framework that help women leaders align success with purpose.
  3. You’ll get details on my upcoming free online workshop, where I’ll walk you through how to find purpose without risking everything you’ve built.

"Remember that you are the gift. Plain and simple. You are the gift that the world has been waiting for, and all of us are the gift. And when we can see that in ourselves, then we can see it in other people and see where we fit, because I feel like this whole world, I don't know about you, it's like this big puzzle and we're all these little pieces trying to fit somewhere. And when we find where we fit, and if you do puzzles, you know how satisfying it is when you find that one weird little shaped puzzle piece that has all those weird angles, and it snaps right into place. And then all of a sudden, the picture falls into place and you see what it's gonna be, not just because it's on the box. You are the gift. You are that piece, and the world is waiting for you to figure out your right edges so that you snap into place. Know that."

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Leezel Ramos. She says:

"There is no one right way, but there is an intentional way. Right? So sometimes, like, the best advice I like to offer is to utilize a both and approach. Do the internal work of discernment and be in community with trusted mentors and peers who can offer insight you might not be aware of, like when you light up or how you've grown over time. Identify your strengths and understand which of them brings you joy and which don't. Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you want to do it all the time. And be unwavering in your values and honor changes to your life priorities."

Leezel Ramos is the Executive Director of Career and Professional Development at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles. With a deep commitment to career formation, leadership development, and social justice, she has spent her career helping students—especially first-generation and underrepresented students—turn their passions into meaningful careers. Through her work in higher education, she ensures students have the tools, guidance, and support they need to build a future that aligns with their values and aspirations.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. If you’re struggling to figure out your next career move, Leezel shares how to recognize the purpose clues in your life and work.
  2. Learn why career development is leadership development and how to take an intentional approach to your career path.
  3. Find out why your career path doesn’t have to be linear and how embracing change can lead to unexpected opportunities that align with your purpose.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from what I truly believe -

“For many women, these same markers of success can, paradoxically, begin to feel like a cage, trapping them in a life that no longer aligns with their authentic selves. This misalignment isn't a failure. It's a signpost. Recognizing these signs is an important step for moving forward and finding fulfillment and true purpose.”

In this episode, I share a personal story about how I discovered my own misalignment. My body was giving me stress-induced signs, and then my father’s passing brought on a deeper emotional wake-up call. As I reflect on that experience, I talk about how so many high-achieving women, like me, define success by external markers—even when those accomplishments start to feel hollow or out of step with who we really are.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. Discover how to recognize subtle signs of misalignment in your life, from physical symptoms like stress and fatigue to emotional detachment.
  2. Learn actionable steps, like journaling and self-reflection, to uncover areas where you might be going through the motions instead of living authentically.
  3. Find encouragement to prioritize alignment with your true self and embrace a life of fulfillment, meaning, and purpose—without discarding your achievements.

If there’s been a nagging feeling that something is missing—or a quiet sense that you’re meant for more—this episode offers encouragement and clarity for taking the next small step toward living in alignment with your authentic self.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and reflections on this episode! Connect with me over on LinkedIn or at the links below.

This week’s "How She Finds Purpose" insight comes from Lida Lida Citroën. She says –

"So my advice: take a chance. Take a chance. We have to have the courage to speak up and take a chance. Will people judge us? Yes. But that's human nature. They'll judge us even if we don't speak up.

Lida works with leaders in over 30 countries, helping them clarify who they are and position themselves for success in high-stakes environments. Her career journey includes a bold pivot from corporate branding to starting her own company, a move that reconnected her to her purpose. Today, she also serves military veterans transitioning into civilian careers, a calling that she embraced after an unforgettable moment at a football game.

This week’s How She Finds Purpose insight comes from a belief I hold close:

“True purpose isn't about a specific job, a specific title, or career. It's not something you find out there. Purpose is about being true to your authentic self. It's about knowing who you are at your core and expressing that truth through the decisions you make, the work you do, and the life you live."

In this solo episode, I share a personal story about how witnessing my mother’s unfulfilled dreams shaped a lifelong promise to pursue work that aligns with purpose.

That restless search for meaning—so familiar to many high-achieving women—led to a liberating realization. Purpose isn’t tied to a job title or career path. Instead, it comes from staying true to who we are at our core.

Here are 3 reasons to tune in:

  1. Discover why purpose isn’t something to “find” and what that shift in thinking could mean for your life and work.
  2. Find out why so many high-achieving women feel unfulfilled, even with success, and how external expectations can get in the way.
  3. Learn about the PurposeMAKER Method, a practical framework I developed to help women reconnect with their true selves and make decisions that align with what matters most.

If there’s been a nagging feeling that something is missing—or a quiet sense that you’re meant for more—this episode offers encouragement and clarity for taking the next small step toward living in alignment with your authentic self.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say: “True purpose, deep meaning, and profound fulfillment come from living in alignment with your authentic self, expressed through your passions, your values, your natural abilities, in service to someone, or something, beyond yourself.”

In this solo episode, I’m sharing a page from my upcoming book, Becoming a PurposeMAKER, and diving into a topic that’s close to my heart: the myths about true purpose that may be holding you back. For years, I believed purpose was tied to my job, a title, or some external milestone. But after more than 20 years of ups and downs, I’ve discovered that true purpose is so much more than that—and it’s not something “out there” waiting to be found.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. Learn why purpose isn’t a singular destination and how to embrace purpose as an ongoing journey.
  2. Discover why external achievements can never fully define your sense of meaning and fulfillment.
  3. Explore 4 key questions to reflect on as you start aligning with your authentic self.

If you’ve ever wondered if you’re chasing the wrong idea of purpose, this episode is for you. Let’s break down those misconceptions and start living a life that truly reflects who you are.

"You have the right to want more, and you deserve to go after what you want. Don’t let any one culture, any individual, box you into thinking that, 'Well, this is enough, this is enough for you.'

Before publishing her book, Jessica built a successful 15-year corporate career in tech and management consulting, working with world-renowned companies like Apple, Bain, and Siemens.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say:

“If you're afraid to start something new or make a career transition, know that it's okay to start afraid. Do it afraid. Just start. Do something, and it will get you on your way.”

I’m celebrating the 200th episode of Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, and kicking off season 5 with a renewed focus on the stories of high-achieving women who’ve made bold career transitions in pursuit of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. Whether you’re just beginning your career, in the midst of a pivot, or considering a late-career shift, this season is here to encourage and inspire your journey toward work that aligns with who you are.

In this special episode, I reflect on the three biggest lessons I’ve learned over the past 200 episodes. These aren’t just podcasting tips, they’re life lessons for anyone who feels the pull to create a more meaningful career. Here’s what I’ve discovered along the way:

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. You’ll learn how to take action, even when fear tries to hold you back.
  2. You’ll discover the value of asking for, and accepting, help as you pursue your purpose.
  3. You’ll see why real growth comes not from perfect planning but from learning as you go.

If you’re ready to embrace your own journey of purpose, I hope this episode brings you the inspiration to keep moving, keep learning, and keep showing up, even if it means doing it afraid.

And, if you’ve been thinking about starting your own podcast and could use some guidance, my podcast manager, Lynda, has space for one or two new clients. She’s an amazing resource for helping you get started, you’ll find her links below.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Christina Woods. She says –

“Follow your intuition. But you have to have boundaries to follow your intuition. So what I mean by that is if you are cluttered with chaos, you cannot tune into your intuition. So having boundaries, self-care, a little quiet space, practice to allow yourself to let what you hear move through your heart and not your head. Your head doesn’t have a lot of answers. As high achieving women, we tend to think, let me sound smart. Okay? No. The answers come through your intuition, your inner compass. You have known your whole life what feels right and aligned, and your wisdom will guide you.”

Christina Woods is an internationally recognized clinical hypnotherapist who helps smart, spiritually open women tap into their inner strength and wisdom. She empowers them to set healthy boundaries and build purpose-driven, fulfilling lives. In this episode, Christina shares her personal journey, from being a high-powered corporate VP to finding alignment with her true purpose through hypnotherapy and energy healing. She also explains how hypnotherapy can help women shed limiting beliefs and reconnect with their intuition to create lasting change.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. Learn how to quiet the noise of daily life so you can hear your intuition and make decisions that align with your values.
  2. Discover why high achieving women often struggle with imposter syndrome and how hypnotherapy can help resolve it.
  3. Find out how Christina transitioned from a corporate career to a fulfilling life of purpose and service, and what lessons you can apply to your own journey.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Else Johnson. She says -

“I think fundamentally, the first thing that she has to do is accept the fact that she deserves it. So many women, especially high achieving women that I speak with, they're like, yeah. But I should be grateful for what I have. Look at what I've achieved. It's amazing. But it's okay to admit to yourself and the world that it's not enough for you. Nothing you do will feel meaningful if you don't believe you deserve it.”

Else Johnson is a mindset expert and speaker who helps high-achieving executives and entrepreneurs get back on track and reignite the passions they once had so they can experience more purpose and fulfillment in their businesses and lives. Else understands that highly driven leaders often feel they're not fulfilling their highest potential, and she is committed to changing that through her business, Else Johnson Coaching and Consulting, LLC.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

  1. You’ll hear how life’s transitions, both big and small, can carry hidden lessons and opportunities for growth.

When you even talk about it, someone looks at you and says, Wow, you really love doing that. And also seeing where that love and that passion is in your own work currently.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Diana Daniele. She says -

We are helping others and that our words are like pearls to them.

“There's a danger with everyone turning to you where you feel like you're giving, giving, giving, and you're kind of giving yourself away and that you don't have any time just for you because people are kind of knocking down your door, and you have to figure out your own path. But I think if we women see that when someone's turning to us, that that is empowering and that we are helping others and that our words are like pearls to them and they are holding them and they are beholding them and treasuring them, that there's a lot of bang for that buck.”

Diana is a tireless advocate for invisible illness and mental health, and she is a writer and publicist living in Los Angeles. And in addition to writing about mental health and invisible illness, she writes about female friendship and family dynamics for publications like Newsweek and Business Insider.

Diana is also currently writing a book entitled Damn Girl. It's a miraculous memoir of motherhood, migraine, and madness, which was recently long listed in the Tall Poppy Writers Contest.

In this episode we discussed:

  • her miraculous healing of chronic migraines and hearing of her resilience and the power of never giving up on yourself
  • how Diana’s insights about living with invisible illness led to her advocating for mental health, especially among adolescents
  • the importance of women supporting women and nurturing those female friendships that help us through any life challenges ‌

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Andrea Mein DeWitt. She says -

Leap, and the net will appear.

“Leap, and the net will appear. Because if you leap, if you take one leap, and then maybe that leap is to call someone that you know that's doing what you want to do or go to a talk, or buy a book... It signals to the universe you're serious. It also, if you leap with the intent to learn, you can't lose. You can't lose.”

Andrea is the author of the book Name, Claim, and Reframe, Path to a Well Lived Life, which was featured on NBC's Today Show as the best motivational read for the year 2023! The book is a call to disarm metaphorical armour that hides our truth. She also recently released the workbook Name, Claim and Reframe to accompany her book to teach you the system and how to integrate it into your life.

Andrea is also a leadership coach who teaches leaders how to change how they see themselves and how they navigate the changes they want to make in their lives.

In this episode we discussed:

  • Andrea’s career pivot in her early 50's, proving it's never too late to find your truth and live your best life
  • her Name, Claim, and Reframe system which she designed to help individuals navigate life changes
  • the importance of listening to one’s gut or inner wisdom when considering life changes and the significance of taking small leaps of faith ‌

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Janice Litvin. She says -

We just need to stop and listen to ourselves.

“So a lot of times we just need to stop and listen to ourselves and do a lot of writing, speaking with someone we trust, either our colleague, a partner, or friend, or relative, whoever you can really truly trust. And hopefully someone at your workplace, if you're gainfully employed or someone in your community. And really start talking about what's bothering you and try to get at why and what needs to be done to change it. Because a lot of times the answers are in there.”

Janice is an award winning corporate wellness speaker, on a mission to help leaders and teams banish burnout in their organization. She wants to help as many people as possible take care of their mental health, specifically teaching them to manage stress to prevent burnout.

Janice has developed unique strategies to maximize engagement and workplace wellness and has developed a stress management methodology, which you can find in her workbook “Banish Burnout Toolkit”.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Dr Gena C Lovett. She says -

When I discovered the power of my village, the load was shared.

“I would ask myself, what is it that I really like doing? What do I like doing? Not so much a worry of, am I good at it, because it's my belief that if you really like something, if you're really passionate about it, you accomplish that, you find a way to do it. And then the other thing, and they've been very helpful for me, is my village. Who is her village? You'd be surprised, and I was that person for many years that had just myself. When I discovered the power of my village, the load was shared. Because let's face it, a lot of times at work, you know, we're doing well. It helps to have that village around you to understand, you know, and keep you grounded, to someone to have your back, someone to tell you the truth. I cannot stress enough the importance of that.”

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Pamela Thompson. She says:

What I know to be true, as women, it's very important that we support one another.

“Doing more than being and giving more than receiving, and often feeling that you can't reach out for help. And to the women, I would say that it's not a sign of weakness to reach out for support. Because I don't know about you, but the way I was raised, it was like I was meant to feel, it could have been inadvertently, that if you reached out, it was a sign of weakness. Whereas, what I know to be true, as women, it's very important that we support one another.”

Pamela Thompson is the founder of Female Wave of Change Canada, which is a national member based nonprofit and she believes that feminine leadership holds the key to creating a better world.

She's also the author of two best selling books, Learning to Dance with Life, A Guide for High Achieving Women and The Exploits of Minerva, Reflections of a 60 Something Woman, and is currently working on her third.

There is so much you bring already, that you've done already, that you are already.

There is so much you bring already, that you've done already, that you are already, and recognizing that is so much more powerful than focusing on the next mountain and seeing how far it is and seeing what you've yet to learn.

Is that really what makes you whole?

"I think having the intention around, what is it that you want to do, and really being honest with yourself. Are you doing it for this reason, or are you doing it for that reason?

And a lot of times, we compromise to have that image and vision of what we think success is, and that success might not be fulfilling to us."

Cultivate the relationships with women in your life because they will bring you through life.

"We forget that to build and cultivate relationships with women, it's about intentionality. It's about taking time and effort to build relationships, because the women in our lives will see us through our lives. They will lift us up when we need to.

True power is when you are literally able to claim your authentic self.

"Start by thinking about what success means to her and whether that is based on expectations from, say, her parents, from her education, from society in general, from her friends, from her, position that she has now claimed, or whether that is coming from a deeper place where the definition of purpose where when she is expressing truly who she is, her authentic self.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Alida Miranda-Wolff.

"So your advice would be then to make the goal the feeling?"

"Yes, I did not understand that your goal could be how you want it to feel. So a lot of my goals were actually distractions from purpose. And that was why I felt rootless or lost or, like, I wasn't moving in the direction I wanted. And the things I wanted to feel were just not things that my job was giving me. I wanted to feel rooted. I wanted to feel like I could care for others and they could care for me. And I wanted ultimately to feel like I was doing something that made the world a kinder place."

Alida is a diversity, equity, and inclusion, and belonging practitioner, committed to teaching love and cultivating belonging.

And she is also:

  • an Amazon best selling author of 2 books, Leadership Cultures of Belonging, Building Inclusive Organizations That Last, and The First-Time Manager: DEI
  • the founder and CEO of Ethos, a full service DEIB and employee advocacy firm, where she serves hundreds of clients across the world
  • the host of Care Work with Alida Miranda-Wolff, a podcast about what it means to offer care for a living

  • Alida’s personal experiences of never truly feeling like she belonged, and how that has influenced her career

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Dr. Erin Baker.

"We are all taught that if we're not achieving goals and if we're not striving for goals, we're not being productive enough. And to actually go back and find purpose and meaning, go do things without purpose and meaning. Go play. Go make space for joy. Take care of yourself first."

Dr. Erin is an executive and entrepreneur coach, social psychologist, and author of the best selling, Joy-Full AF: The Essential Business Strategy We're Afraid To Put First. They are on a mission to help entrepreneurs and executives in good for the world organizations cultivate more prosperous, difference making, and purposeful businesses and lives by weaving joy into the fabric of their organization, culture, and business strategies.

In this episode we discussed:

  • the differences between happiness and joy
  • how the pressures of society for women affect the ability to keep hold of joy in their work
  • how to incorporate small daily practices to sustain joy in your life.

Hally Brooke is the Founder & CEO of Live Nourished, she is a Certified Functional Medicine Nutrition Counselor, Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Fox 21 Fitness & Nutrition Expert, and a fierce industry advocate.

Her self-education in nutrition and exercise began in 2014 when she battled and overcame her own serious GI issues including IBS and SIBO.

Through her own process of finding wholeness, health and healing for herself, as well as her education and experience with her clients, Hally has learned that living a nourished life takes more than just “eating healthy” or working out. Hally teaches that “true health” is a blend of not only physical health, but also mental, emotional & spiritual wellbeing. And that sometimes “health” looks like enjoying a burger instead of a salad, or taking a nap instead of going on a run.

From that experience, she has built a thriving Functional Medicine Coaching practice that works with clients in ALL the key areas of wellness including movement, nutrition, mindset, resilience, relationships, and self-care.

Her life mission is to encourage, and empower women by teaching healing. Whether as clients, through speaking events, business coaching, or personally with the people she encounters, she lives and breathes this mission day in and day out.

In this episode we discussed:

  • the difference between functional medicine and western medicine and why it matters to you and your business
  • how your gut impacts your energy and ability to work at your best
  • the concept of “always enough and always growing”
  • why healthy business owners make more money over time
  • the importance of not just health, but well being too (and the difference between them)

Barbara C. Jordan (1936-1996) was born in Houston, Texas in 1936. Her father was a Baptist minister and her mother was a domestic worker. In high school and college, Jordan displayed extraordinary orating and debating skills. She graduated at the top of her class at Texas Southern University and went on to earn a law degree from Boston University.

Jordan began her distinguished public service career in 1966 when she was elected to the Texas State Senate. She became the first African American elected to that body since 1883. In 1972, she became the first African American woman from the South to be elected to the United States Congress, where she served as a member of the House of Representatives until 1979.

The highlights of Jordan’s career include her landmark speech during Richard Nixon’s impeachment hearings in 1974, her successful efforts in 1975 to expand the Voting Rights Act to include language minorities, and her keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 1976. She was the first African American woman to deliver that address. From 1979 until her death in 1996, Jordan served as distinguished professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

Ryann Dowdy did everything RIGHT in life. She had her dream job, 6+ figure salary, married, kids, and a nice home... and still woke up one day feeling completely unfulfilled. She knew something wasn’t right. She realized it was because she was chasing a dream that wasn’t hers.

As she found more success on her journey, Ryann realized she still felt alone and misunderstood by her peers. That’s when she realized SHE herself did not have a community to come to as the truest version of herself.

Today, Ryann’s mission is to create a safe space for every woman who has ever been told she’s too much, too picky, too loud, too ANYTHING to come together and be fearlessly themselves. Because when women connect, work together, and harness our power into ONE common mission - we will be invincible.

Ryann has been featured in Forbes, NBC, FOX, Associated Press, Daily Tech Geek, The Daily Dispatcher, International Business Times, Market Watch, Morning Dispatcher, NY Headline, Street Insider, Think Business Today, and hundreds of additional publications.

She is the author of the book - "The $100k Sales Method."

In this episode we discussed:

  • finding fulfillment in work
  • the power of community with other high-achieving women
  • handling the isolation that comes with success
  • why a safe space to truly be yourself is important
  • the vulnerability that goes into writing and publishing a book and what to do about it
  • how to best build a business around your book
  • why purpose is important

This episode was recorded at the beginning of summer and I decided to spend some time during the summer re-reading a few books that have had the most impact on me.

Russell Creed is the founder of Invictus Life Coaching where he helps high-achieving men get unstuck, refocused, and live a life of purpose.

Russell has successfully held positions as Chief Innovation Officer, Chief Actuary, and Chief Underwriter for a major insurance company.

Despite the success, he knows the pain of not living up to your true potential. It was only when he was sidelined with a life-altering illness that his true passion and purpose came into view.

Through targeted one-on-one coaching, inspired group programs, and life-changing adventure retreats, he empowers men to create an unconquerable mindset and live a life of purpose.

In this episode, we discussed:

Hello there! I am so pleased you're joining us today. In this episode, I'm talking with Lisa Morton.

Lisa Morton is the CEO and founder of Roland Dransfield, one of the most established public relations and communications agencies in Manchester, England.

For the last 24 years, Lisa has worked to forge meaningful, lasting business relationships that create both business growth and social impact alongside her team of award-winning strategists, journalists, creatives, digital, and social media specialists. Now with a London office and a partnership with an LA-based agency, of which the founder is a former Roland Dransfield team member, Lisa is continuing to expand Roland Dransfield and explore new paths for growth.

Lisa’s commitment to purpose-driven work is exemplified by Roland Dransfield’s “We Built This City” podcast, a podcast series that hears from Mancunians, born, bred, and adopted, who put the heart into Greater Manchester.

25 years ago, it became apparent to Lisa that the only way to work somewhere that had suitable goals and values as an enterprise was to start it herself. Almost immediately, her talent for creating relationships became apparent when Manchester suffered a devastating bombing. Lisa got involved heavily in rebuilding the city centre and over the years has played a large part in helping to regenerate neglected parts of the city centre to create the new key “pillar” neighborhoods that make up the city.

As a result, Lisa has been at the forefront of the response to crises in her community, and her commitment to social impact amongst the business community has driven her to help others to do the same.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The power you using your leadership platform for good
  • What it means to plant a tree you cannot see
  • The importance of leaving a leadership legacy
  • Why values are important in your leadership
  • The power of leadership purpose
