Champagne Dreams, Beer Budget? Don’t Let Money Hold You Back from Pursuing Your Passion and Purpose
MARCH 1, 2024 | 12PM ET
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. While you know this, it’s hard to dream big as you balance your checkbook and feel grounded by reality and family responsibilities. In a recent survey, many shared money was the greatest barrier to pursuing their wildest dreams (22%), after not knowing what to do with your life (45%).
It might surprise you, but constraints, even financial constraints, can be a good thing when it comes to re-inventing your future. Constraints can inspire creativity and allow you to avoid your binary thinking approach to problem solving (aka Option A or Option B) and expose you to the entire alphabet of solutions that can help you achieve your wildest dream.
In this 20-minute session, I’ll introduce you to creative problem-solving approaches that will inspire new ideas on how to achieve what’s on your heart and in your mind. Believe me: you can do this. I’m here to show you how.
Session 10

How to Be in a World That Doesn't Look Like You
DECEMBER 8, 2023 | 12PM ET
I’m 5’3”. I’m never the loudest in the room. I’ve been told I don’t look “old enough” to be doing the work that I’m doing.
I used to resent my baby face until I learned how to use my size, presence, and stature to my advantage.
I’ve got a powerful list of do’s and don’ts for anyone like me who’s ever been underestimated.
Session 7
Wait ... Whose Job is More Important, Again?
OCTOBER 13, 2023 | 12PM ET
If you’ve got a partner, and you both have careers, then it’s inevitable: at key points in your relationship one person will earn more, have more responsibility, and have more demands of their time.
During these moments, it’s natural to feel that you need more support than your partner because you’ve got “x” – because of whatever “x” is.
This is when you need a teammate, not a critic who keeps score – I picked up the kids yesterday, it’s your turn today. I make more money, so you need to take the day off to wait for the electrician. I’m working late on a project, so you can make dinner.
Relationships are constant tradeoffs. To ensure the tradeoffs feel fair and allow you both to thrive, they have to feel balanced, respect-based, and ego-free. This session provides ideas on how to make your career success feel supported at home to ensure you curb resentment, the kiss of death in any relationship.
