Leader Nourishment

I set out to make 2020 the year had my roar heard for more people in different communities and audiences. And as part of that, I recently sat down with other female leaders and entrepreneurs to record five different podcast episodes to share my story and what I know about leadership development. It was incredibly fun and I can’t wait for you to hear those podcasts. Keep an eye on my social media feeds so you won’t miss them as they are released over the next couple of weeks and months.

Specifically, what does it mean to choose from our feelings versus to choose from our commitments?

This is a really appropriate topic for me, this week, since I almost didn’t write anything because of how I'm feeling. I’m going to use myself as an example to talk about feelings and commitments and where we choose from. We’ll also talk about applying this concept to yourself.
