Leadership = have all the answers and prove yourself over and over. Why is this old thought process still SO pervasive??? It’s not only backwards, it’s outright damaging - to everyone involved. It keeps us stuck and eliminates all possibility. It’s 100% tied to the...

Have you ever felt like you're on the wrong side of 40? Or actually been told that you are? Today Stephanie and Maren interview Dr. Rosie Ross about midlife, transitions and what it means to honor ourselves at every stage of life. Dr. Rosie is not only a woman with a...

There’s a formula for how things are done. At least that’s what we’re told, what we believe. If we just learn, and follow, the ‘right’ formula, we’ll be successful. So we try. We spend our time and money on the next quick fix, the next sure-fire thing, the next “10...

We’re not meant to do it all. Yet society tells us the opposite.  Throughout school we’re expected to do well in all subjects and to work harder where we are weak. At work, the expectation is the same - be good at all aspects, dig in where we’re weak. This...

Have you ever had one of those days, or even weeks where everything goes sideways? You have a plan, you are working your plan and someone drops a ball - the babysitter is late, the meeting gets pushed back, or your account gets hacked. Your carefully laid plan is in...

Our ‘more is never enough’ culture has taken its toll. Personally we are in debt, worn out, overworked and mentally and physically ill. As a culture, ‘quiet quitting’ is rampant, businesses are closing and people are more and more disconnected and polarized. This is...

How do you balance opposites? Especially as a leader. A challenge comes up and it gets polarized. It becomes one of two things, 'push through', or ‘it’s not meant to be’. How do we find the ‘in-between’? Barbara Miller walks that path both personally and as a leader....
