We talk about developing yourself as a leader, doing so with great intention and purpose, really identifying the season that you’re in, and having focus and dedication to it. And, finally, we get into the very specific work of making jam.

Bridget Perry

There are some episodes that really stick with you. This is one of those episodes for me. We meet Bridget Perry mid-career transition; over the last 18+ months leading Adobe Marketing in Europe and deciding that despite a move to London for this role the unexpected shifts weren't in alignment with her biggest gifts as a leader.  I want to just pause there for a moment because this awareness is AWE-inspiring.We also talk about leading lives of great partnership and community. Being a Mom that created huge opportunities for adventure in moving from the West Coast of the US to London. Running and finding community. Sharing this time with Bridget left me feeling more comfortable with honoring my own authenticity - that's what being around strong women does. Join us.

The end of a decade brings up some things doesn't it? Am I living the life I want to live boldly? Am I taking care of what's most important? Do I feel like I'm being intentional and making a real difference? Am I listening to myself? In this podcast with Ariane Baer-Harper we talk about all of this. Ariane is inspiring on a level that I *knew* but couldn't really know until this conversation. We talk about moving to Africa with her family to be the Head of School and then advancing to be the Country Director, we talk about making that huge leap, being brave and modeling that for our kids. We talk about running and cozy pajamas and embracing giving our bodies what they need! Since recording this podcast I have thought of Ariane EVERY SINGLE DAY, that is not hyperbole. How her language brought out my own desire to experience life through more senses was everything.Connect with Ariane on LinkedIn

Ilise Benun

Friends, today we’re talking to Ilise Benun. She’s the founder of Marketing Mentor, a firm that specializes in helping creative professionals take their work to the next level, as well as an author, speaker, and teacher. I’m really excited to share this one -- Ilise taught us a lot in this episode. We talk about the creative life, doing creative work, and how we can position ourselves to keep doing this work without falling into the feast/famine cycle, which many of us in creative or client-based work have found ourselves in. We talk about discovering who we are and trusting our intuition, and Ilise asks us some really powerful questions: What would be the best thing for me to take in right now? What would it look like if I were ready? Am I learning anything? Is what I’m doing reinforcing the beliefs that are holding me back? What would be beautiful in this moment?This is a really juicy conversation -- you’re going to have notes from this one.Where you can find Ilise:Website: https://www.marketing-mentor.comTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/ilisebenunLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilisebenun Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ilise.benun References mentioned:The Most Human Human: What Talking with Computers Teaches Us About What it Means to be Alive by Brian ChristianThank You for Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations by Thomas L.

Whitney Sabins

On the episode of Real Women in Business, we meet Whitney Sabins, a woman who’s always on the move. She’s a mom of two, a business development consultant and entrepreneur. In this episode, we cover the internship that launched Whitney’s career, her journey to find her purpose, and balancing work and family. After graduating from FIT, Whitney began to build a career in the fashion industry, but after deciding to leave the workforce to raise her first child, she found herself in a new role. A pivotal conversation with her husband inspired her to re-enter the business world, launching a fashion consulting business, and caused her to realize that the path to success is never linear. “Your callings,” she says, “change in every season of life.”Whitney shares the importance of vulnerability and self-care in the age of social media, the wisdom she’s learned from her parents, and what she wants her daughter to know. We cover the importance of communication in marriage and the challenges that come with being a working mother. You can find Whitney on Instagram @wsabins, connect with her on LinkedIn (Whitney Bragg-Sabins), or reach her via email at whitney.sabins@gmail.com to book a consultation.
