Hey there, Podsters! With the holiday season gearing up, itâs that time of year when the to-do lists get longer than a CVS receipt. Goals, gatherings, gift wrapping, and maybe a touch of seasonal burnout - sound familiar?
So, whatâs the antidote to all this chaos?A strategic pause. Nope, this isnât about dropping everything and running off to an island (though that sounds amazing, right?). This is about intentionally stepping back, not to quit but to realign and regroup.
Think of it as a refresh button for your life and career. Like a solid eight hours of sleep for your ambitions, a strategic pause recharges you. Itâs your chance to recalibrate, reconnect with your purpose, and figure out your next moves - minus the overwhelm.
Letâs talk strategy: My favorite way to do this is with a âlove, hate, mehâ list. Yup, itâs exactly what it sounds like. What lights you up about your work? What drains the life out of you? And whatâs just⌠meh? This exercise cuts through the noise and gives you crystal-clear direction on what deserves your energy and what needs to be shown the door (or delegated, stat).
Athletes donât build resilience by training nonstop; they do it through strategic recovery. And guess what? The same goes for us. Setting boundaries, protecting your mental headspace, and honoring downtime isnât just self-care; itâs smart.And hereâs a big one: revisit your âwhy.â Our motivations evolveâjust like we do. What you wanted three years ago might not be your driver anymore, and thatâs perfectly okay. Priorities shift, and so should your game plan.
So, if youâre caught in a hamster wheel of hustle, this is your sign to take a breather. Hit pause, refocus, and make sure youâre running toward what you love, not away from what exhausts you.Tell me, Podsters: When are you scheduling your strategic pause? Letâs chat, reset, and head into this season ready to thrive.

Todayâs episode is very timely and very personal, Podsters.
Iâm joined today by Cara Houser, a powerhouse advocate for prioritizing what matters and together weâre calling out burnout and digging into how we can take back control.
Forget the endless grind-this episode is all about making room for joy, setting boundaries that work for us, and, yes, taking a breather when life feels chaotic. We are unpacking the reality of balancing big ambitions with the need for self-care, especially when lifeâs a little chaotic.
Boundaries, life-work blending, self-possession: Caraâs practical wisdom shows us why taking care of ourselves isnât just a luxury; itâs essential if we want to keep showing up as our best selves.
So hereâs to blending, not balancing, and setting boundaries that work for us-not against us so we can say goodbye to burnout and hello to a more aligned, joyful life.

Should I stay or should I go?Weâve all been there Podsters, feeling like something's not quite right. Yet not sure if weâre having a rough day or if itâs time to make a big change.For me, this feeling is unsettling - kind of like driving the car when it starts making a strange noise. Uh-oh. Is this bad? Is it nothing? Should I turn up the radio and ignore? Should I take this seriously and pull over to check under the hood?As I said...very unsettling.This happens in our lives as well and here's the thing: If youâre not listening to your instincts, youâre missing out on some of the best advice youâll ever get, from the person who knows you better than anyone - YOU.What if that gut feeling isnât coming through loud and clear? Well then it's time to really listen to your loved ones. They know you well, and sometimes they see things about us that we canât (or wonât) see ourselves. Years ago when I was working in a very toxic, unhealthy work environment, it was a comment from my step-son that got me to stop and truly think.If your warning light is going off, or you're hearing some knocking and pinging in your head; it's up to YOU to figure out if you should stick it out or start making moves. Here are three tell-tale signs that can help you to find the clarity you need:1ď¸âŁ Youâre Constantly Behind-Like, All. The. Time.2ď¸âŁ You Feel Yourself Changingâand Not for the Better3ď¸âŁ Someone You Trust Says, âGet Over ItâNow that you know the signs, hereâs what to do about it:1ď¸âŁ Give Yourself Some Grace.2ď¸âŁ Reevaluate Your Choices.3ď¸âŁ Phone a Friend.When you realize itâs time to go, celebrate that awareness. Take a breath, give yourself grace, and remember you donât need to rush into the next thing. Recognizing the need for change is the first step toward making it happen.

Podsters, today weâre talking about the perils of being "overly agreeable" (a.k.a. people-pleasing) in leadership.
We've all been there, right? That moment when you nod along in a meeting, even when your gut is screaming, "Seriously?!" Itâs called being "overly agreeable" (a nicer way to say people-pleasing), and while it sounds harmless, itâs about as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to stepping up as a leader. And this applies to everyone Podsters, whether you're running the show, climbing the ladder, or running your own business; bending over backward to keep everyone happy can cause more chaos than it cures.
Spoiler alert: it's not your job to be everyone's emotional support person.
So, what's a recovering people-pleaser to do? Here are three ways to kick the overly agreeable habit to the curb:
Keep It Real: Be Authentically You, Even When Itâs Uncomfortable
Know who you are and the kind of leader you want to beâthen stick to it like glitter on a craft project. Someone on your team sending late-night emails like they're auditioning for a role in "Burnout: The Musical"? That doesn't mean you need to chime in at 2 AM. You get to set the tone for your team and you donât have to let someone else's chaos become your status quo.Business Isn't Personal (Unless We're Talking Coffee Choices)
Of course, you want a happy team - we all do! So letâs make sure you donât let your quest for workplace harmony turn into a free pass for bad behavior. One of my clients made the mistake of being overly agreeable with a drama-inducing employee, which basically made the workplace a soap opera. The result? Delays, disarray, and a whole lot of "Why does this keep happening?" IT IS YOUR JOB to address the bad behavior, set clear expectations and then hold people accountable.Rip the Band-Aid Off: Address Issues Before They Get Weird
Yes, those tough conversations are about as fun as a root canal, but avoiding them is like letting a leak drip until you're knee-deep in water. One of my clients learned this the hard way by avoiding a tricky employee. She was worried that calling out the behavior wouldnât seem "respectful." The result? She lost credibility and contributed to the chaos on her team. Respect isn't about making everyone feel warm and fuzzyâsometimes it's about having the confidence to say, "This isn't working, and we need to fix it."At the end of the day, leadership isn't about making everyone like you. Itâs about creating a space where the work, and your team can thrive!

Hey, Podsters! Have you heard the expression, âFeedback is a giftâ? Sure, sometimes feedback shows up at our door as a beautifully wrapped present, but other times... It's more like an unsolicited mystery package that leaves you scratching your head about the sender.
People love to give feedbackâpartners, clients, bosses, even random strangers. And while a lot of it is super helpful, letâs be real: not all feedback comes from a place of positive intent. So, how do you figure out which advice to embrace and which to toss straight into the metaphorical trash?
Today, weâre unpacking how to process feedback without letting it impact your mental health. The key? Understand where the feedback is coming from. First, assess the other personâs values, intent, and perspective. Are they offering insights to support your growth? Or are they projecting their stuff onto you? Because heads up, not all feedback is about you.
Iâll share some personal stories todayâincluding one from my early leadership days that seriously shifted my career trajectory. Spoiler alert: I wasnât always comfortable with not knowing all the answers, but one piece of advice helped me embrace the leader I am today.
Itâs not about growing thicker skin. Nope. Itâs about learning how to process feedback without giving it too much headspace. Youâve got to filter feedback as data pointsâsome are valuable, and others are not so much.
So buckle up, Podsters! Letâs dive into how you can use feedback like a boss, stay true to yourself, and grow into the best version of yourselfâwithout letting the noise slow you down.

Hey there, Podsters! Quick question for you: If doctors, pro athletes, and scientists use visualization to transform health, boost performance, and hit major goals, why arenât we doing the same for our own lives? It's time to change that, Podsters and thatâs exactly what we are going to do today.
Today, weâre talking about the magic of acting as if you've already achieved your goals. Thatâs right - and this isnât just woo-woo âitâs backed by science. Whether itâs performance coaches with athletes or doctors guiding patients to better health, the dataâs clear: When you act like youâre already living the life of your dreams, your subconscious gets on board and starts making moves in that direction.
So, how do you do it? First, get crystal clear on your goals. Donât just say, âI want a better careerâ or âI want to be healthier.â Nope - weâre talking specific details here. Visualize what your day-to-day life looks like when youâve hit that goal. What are you wearing? Who are you talking to? How are you feeling? Get all up in those details, and watch your brain start rewiring itself for success.
Why does this work? Simple: confirmation bias. When you start acting as if youâve already got the job, the lifestyle, the whatever it is youâre after, your brain begins pulling in people, situations, and opportunities that match that belief. You stop waiting for life to happen and start living like it already has. Sounds like magic, but it's science.
Letâs say youâre switching careers. The moment you start âacting as if,â youâll find yourself networking with new people, stumbling on the right job posts, and suddenly, that âimpossibleâ leap doesnât seem so far-fetched. The same goes for health, relationships, financesâyou name it. Visualize, act as if, and your reality will start shifting to match.
So buckle up, Podsters, because today weâre diving into the game-changing mindset shift that turns âsomedayâ into today. Get ready to stop dreaming and start doing by tapping into the power of âacting as if.â
Letâs do this!

Hey Podsters! Ready to level up your public speaking game? Whether it's the boardroom, a client presentation, or even a networking event, owning the room can make all the difference for you personally and professionally.
Today, weâre talking about how to leave a lasting impactânot just with what you say, but with how you make people feel.
Here are three game-changing tips to help you do just that.
Know the Room
I know, sounds basic, right? But this little detail is everything. Knowing the physical space can turn a good presentation into an unforgettable one. Check out the venue online ahead of time. Is it full of windows? You might need darker slides. Is the AV setup tricky? Get there early, do a sound check, and get familiar with where people will be sitting. Trust me, even something as small as a room layout change can throw you off your game if youâre not prepared. Pro tip: Let people know what to expect. If the roomâs cold, remind folks to bring a sweater. Far from the elevator? Tell âem to wear comfy shoes. These small touches matter more than you think!Connect with the Room
And by "the room," I mean the people in it. Send out a quick questionnaire before the eventâfind out who they are, what they care about, or the kind of jargon they use. When you step on stage, start with a story. Whether it's a travel mishap, a funny experience, or something current, stories break the ice and make you memorable. People donât remember bullet pointsâthey remember feelings. So, make them feel connected from the jump.Engage with the Room
Interaction is key. Ask questions like, "How many of you have heard of this concept?" Raise your hand, nodâdo something that gets people involved. If you see them drifting or scrolling through their phones, reel them back in with a phrase like, "I know weâre all busy, but what Iâm about to say is really important." And if all else fails? Mix it up! Have them chat in groups or do something interactive. Keeping people engaged will make sure youâand your presentationâare unforgettable.So next time you step up to present, remember: Know the room. Connect with the room. Engage with the room.
These tips are tried and true, and I promise theyâll help you own any stage.
Until next time, go out there and own that room, Podsters!

Not to mention holding on to past regrets, resentments, and unresolved issues, which also consume mental and emotional energy.
We are also sharing one of my favorites all time Brenda nuggets for how to manage our energy â observe, donât absorb. Yes, itâs that simple and we dig deeper into how to observe whatâs happening around you, without letting the situation occupy your precious mind space!
We share practical tips for energy management, from clearing physical clutter to help with mental and emotional clarity to setting realistic expectations for yourself and for others.
Winter is coming, Podsters and itâs the perfect time to tidy up your mind, the space where you "live 24/7."

This has been weighing on my mind so we are bringing it back and jumping back to episode #1 with debunking imposter syndrome. You are having a feeling, not a medical condition. Feelings are not facts. They are a temporary experience. A feeling. So now that we know this...what do we do?
In this episode, we talk about how to recognize, deal with, and prevent future feelings of being an imposter. Spoiler alert - men feel it too. The difference? They take action anyway.
Ready to move out of imposter feelings, here are the 3 Râs for success:
Remember â Remember that imposter syndrome is just a thought, not reality. Itâs something many people feel, even the most successful. Donât let it trick you into thinking you donât belong.
Recall â When doubt creeps in, recall your wins, the skills youâve built, and everything youâve already achieved. Youâve done it before, and you can do it again.
Reframe â Reframe those negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Instead of âIâm not good enough,â tell yourself, âI bring something unique, and thereâs room for me.â

Podsters! Weâre in the final stretch of 2024 with just four months left, and itâs time to make sure youâre not stressing yourself out.
We need to talk about how to really value your time, make smart trade-offs, and think about how you want to live the rest of this year. Some fine tuning right now could totally change the trajectory of your career.
So, itâs September, my favorite month!
I love those cool mornings where you can rock a sweatshirt with shorts, only to have to ditch the sweatshirt later when it gets hot - classic New England fall vibes. To set yourself up to enjoy these Fall days we must talk about the true value of your time.
As we get back to the grind, whether thatâs school, work, or just life getting busier. Itâs crucial to think about how youâre spending your time.
Are you trading time for money, or money for time?
This is something that changes throughout your life, and today, weâre diving into what that looks like at different stages.
Why itâs so important to get this balance right, whether you're in corporate or running your own show? Because if you donât nail this now, you will miss out on those memorable moments and cause yourself unnecessary stress.
So, Podsters, how are you valuing your time? Letâs figure out how to make the most of whatâs left of 2024!
SIDE NOTE: Do remember that 2015 wife bonus scandal? Letâs unpack this scandal and give you another wild way to think about the value of time and how we negotiate our time with our relationships.

Itâs fall, Podsters! The chill in the morning air, the sweatshirts coming out of storage, leaves falling (yes, my lawn is covered in leaves) all mean one thing â summer is over. And as summer winds down, you might find yourself feeling a bit of that seasonal stress creeping in. You know what I mean⌠the shift from the laid-back vibe of summer to the busyness of fall can be a lot to handle.
Enter, September Scaries.
Youâre not alone Podsters and guess what? This is the perfect time to level up in both your life and business, and this weekâs episode will help you to do just that.
Today Iâm sharing three key tips to help you smoothly transition into fall while keeping your momentum strong. Summer might have been all about relaxing and recharging, but as we move into the last quarter of the year, itâs time to get clear on what you really want to accomplish before the year wraps up.
Right now, is the best time for a re-focus. Itâs like a second New Year!
With shorter days and a busier schedule, itâs easy to feel like there arenât enough hours in the day so we have to curate our commitments.
How? By taking a strategic approach to your calendar. Before committing to new obligations, ask yourself, "Will I want to do this when the time comes?" With the summer freedom feeling itâs easier to say yes to more things, but as we roll into fall we have to manage our energy a little differently.
This means, really asking yourself what you want to commit to and leaving some room in your schedule.
What if you choose one day in your schedule where you donât schedule anything at all and simply let things play out and happen for you!
Life happens, and itâs crucial to create space for those unexpected moments and for times when you just need to pause, play, and regroup. Having this space not only allows you to focus to move your life and business forward and leaves time for those unexpected delightful days of fun with your friends and family.
So, if youâre feeling that end-of-summer stress, Podsters, I got you. Together, weâll turn those September Scaries into the fuel you need to thrive this fall and beyond.

You know when you meet someone and you know immediately that theyâre going to be in your life?
An instant connection - - might be a lighting bolt and might be simply a KNOWING.
Well Posters, thatâs what happened to me two years ago when I first heard Tiffany Carter speak on a podcast. Sheâs a highly successful entrepreneur, host of the #5 podcast for business, multi-millionaire business owner and all around beautiful human being.
Sheâs also my friend, my mentor and my business coach and today we are holding nothing back as we talk about everything: all of the peaks and valleys that come with managing your own success such as:
¡ Managing conflicting expectations and How Iâm managing priorities
¡ About ME overcoming my OWN limiting beliefs
¡ What happens when you really go all in and get what it is you think youâve wanted all along â and the rest of your mind needs to catch up.
¡ Next level success
¡ The reality of running for political office
¡ Really getting to the heart of what you want and the insidious way we hold ourselves back to stay comfortable.
¡ Toe dipping actions and tricking ourselves into believing you are taking high level actions
So buckle up, Podsters as nothing is off limits in this raw, real and hilarious episode that will help you open your mind to what is possible and how your big dreams might be the starting point.

Look around, Podsters - and look closely. Your environment (the people you hang with, the places you go, the information you take in, all of it) shapes your thoughts and beliefs. Your beliefs shape your behavior. And we all know â your behavior shapes your outcomes. So, I askâŚ
Who are you surrounding yourself with?
You know the saying, "your net worth is the average of the five people you spend the most time with"? Well, I'd take it a step further and say your value (which is your currency), is shaped by those same people. How you see and value yourself affects how others do, and if you're not hanging out with people who inspire you, challenge you, and are on the path you want to be on, professionally or personally, it's time to rethink your circle.
Podsters, it's true. You become what you surround yourself with. The people in your life, their energy, their mindset, ALL OF THIS has a massive impact on what you think, your beliefs and how you show up.
And eventually, youâll start to reflect the ideas, thoughts, goals and opinions of those around you as well - so make sure these are people you admire, people whose qualities and successes you want to emulate.
Today, podsters I invite you to take a good hard look around; your friends, your colleagues, your family, your professional networks, how you spend your precious time and who you spend it withâŚ. are these the people who will support you, believe in you and help you get where you want to go?
As we get ready for fall, and the âback to schoolâ frenzy, itâs the perfect time to assess who you're spending time with on the playground of life.
Letâs unpack this in a real, practical way. No cheesy quotes or overused memes, just an honest look at how the company you keep can significantly impact your journey.
As summer winds down, letâs use these quiet moments to re-evaluate and ensure that we're surrounding ourselves with people who are lifting us up, pushing us forward, and helping us to achieve our goals.
If really want to level up, it's time to pay attention to whoâs in your circle.

We're in the heart of summer, and distractions are everywhere, so staying focused and true to yourself professionally can be tough. Today, I'm sharing three steps to get yourself back on track when you're just not that into it.
First, know and leverage your peak productivity.
You know when you're most productive so schedule your most important work during that time. For example, I'm a morning person, so I tackle my big tasks early, and if those âdistractionsâ are calling, I bang out what I need to do a little earlier so I can enjoy whatever it is thatâs distracting me. Figure out your peak performance time and plan accordingly to maximize your efficiency.
Second, sweep your own porch.
This means taking care of yourself and knowing what you need to do to thrive. I keep a âthrive âlist to remind me how simple it is to get back to ME. This list includes things like drinking water, getting some sun, or phoning a friend. Do what you need to feel good and set at the tone for your life (and your success).
Third, step out when you need to.
Sometimes, taking a break is the best way to reset. Whether it's a quick walk, a day off, or just some quiet time, honor your need for a breather. It's important to step away from your day to day so that you can and come back refreshed and ready.
So, there you have it, Podsters! Three steps to help you get back on track when you're just not feeling it.
Remember, it's okay to have off days. Give yourself some grace, lean into that feeling and use these tips to stay focused and also stay true to yourself.
Until next time, Podsters, peace out!

What's up, Podsters? Today, weâre peeling back the curtain TRUE self-confidence. I mean REALLY honoring your decisions, trusting your instincts and the difference between boundaries and simple decisions. In fact, we are adopting a powerful mantra for the weekâŚare you ready?
"You don't get to decide how I react to you."
Partially inspired by recent conversations Samantha Parker and upcoming chat with Tiffany Carter, (spoiler alert⌠both confident and highly successful business women), Iâm shining a light on how freeing it can be to not let others dictate our reactions OR undermine our decisions.
Pretty powerful.
Confidence grows with experience and true confidence is achieved when care less about other peopleâs opinions and more about our own values and decisions. It's about viewing external opinions as simply data points. For example, when someone thinks poorly of you, this is just a fact, not a real reflection of your worth. Or who you are.
Now, letâs talk about the magic phrase: ** "I'm comfortable with my decisions."**
These five words, when you truly believe them â help you to stand in the power of your decisions and your choices. This phrase will end ANY additional criticism, unsolicited opinions or debates and will instantly reaffirm your commitment to who you are. Remember â YOU get to decide how you react to what others are projecting, saying, how they are behaving and what they are doing.
Standing firm in your decisions and not allowing others to derail your own path is game changing.
Iâd love to hear you practice saying "I'm comfortable with my decisions," and then notice the shift in your interactions.
Itâs time to bet on yourself, Podsters. To truly stand in your confidence and stay firm in your decisions. And remember, you get to control how you react.
And until next time, peace out!

Today, Iâm shining a light on a topic that has been coming up in many conversations with my clients but rarely discussed: SELF-SABOTAGE.
Whether itâs in your career, business, health, happiness, or relationships, self-sabotaging behaviors can quietly undermine your success and negatively impact your well-being.
At work, these behaviors might include procrastination on important projects, perfectionism that prevents you from finishing tasks, avoiding opportunities to network, or downplaying your accomplishments to avoid standing out.
Self-sabotage doesnât just affect your career it can also wreak havoc on your personal relationships. Letâs talk about how behaviors like pushing people away, avoiding vulnerability, and fearing intimacy can prevent you from forming deep, meaningful connections.
You might find yourself picking fights over minor issues, constantly questioning your partner's loyalty, or feeling undeserving of love and affection. These patterns can make it difficult to build and maintain healthy, fulfilling relationships.
Your health is another area where self-sabotage can strike. This might be you engaging in unhealthy habits like skipping workouts, overeating, neglecting self-care, or relying on substances to cope with stress. These behaviors often stem from a lack of self-worth or a fear of change, and protecting this persona of who you think you are. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward developing healthier behaviors that nourish your body and mind.
Hereâs the thing, Podsters. We all do it, and we call can stop.
You can change this behavior by recognizing these patterns and allowing yourself some grace; and today Iâm giving you specifics on how you can stop the self-sabotage.
From procrastination and perfectionism to negative self-talk and avoidance, we dive into the various forms self-sabotage and provide real life examples, tactical tools and to help you check yourself before your wreck yourself.
Podcasts, letâs stop undermining our own success and kick self-sabotage to the curb.

Podsters, I'm back and fired up! Fired up about you and the endless possibilities available to you this summer or specifically... how to have fun, level up your career and make a few new friends or acquaintances along the way. Effortlessly and non- sleazily.
If you want to change your life, job, or career, you CANNOT wait until
summer fun is over. I'm all for summer fun, but if you check out, you'll be at the back of the herd come fall. And no one wants to be at the back of the herd.Weâve been talking for the past couple of weeks about how you can have your summer fun while also leveling up your life. And weâll continue to talk about how you can take now so you're ready by the end of summer. Weâve already talked about why you shouldn't wait, and last week, Miranda showed us how to level up our LinkedIn.
Today, let's talk about networking without feeling gross and how summer is the best time to network. I'll give you a boatload of tools and refer you to past episodes on leveling up your network and networking without sleaze.
Remember, networking is simply talking to people. You do not have to go to a BBQ or a pool party or the beach thinking about your next client or who you can meet. Thatâs stressful and we donât do that over here. Instead, think today we talk about how to respond or start a conversation effortlessly and authentically.
And â the secret sauce to these summer conversations? FOLLOW UP.
You must follow up within 72 hours of meeting someone. This is the difference between thriving at work and sitting around hoping for divine intervention to make the change.
Itâs time to think differently, act differently, and follow up.
Here you have it Podsters, the keys to the kingdom. The networking playbook. Use this advice, apply at least one thing from today, and let's make this summer count!

Summer is here, Podsters! No one loves summer more than I do and as a follow up to last weekâs episode, we're diving into how you can make the most of your summer- at work AND at home.
Today we are talking about the âwait until Iâm more focusedâ approach and how this will always lead you back to bring one of the herd. We wonât do that around here at Unmute Yourself the Podcast so today Iâve brought in THE leading authority on LinkedIn and global branding expert â Miranda Von Fricken. This Queen of Cool is walking us through three immediate and actionable steps you can take this summer so that you donât wake up in September and say âoops, should have started soonerâ.
Miranda lives and breathes LinkedIn and today is not about giving you corporate tips and tricks- today is about showing YOU how you are showing up personally, in the professional world.
Many people come to me in May, saying they want to work on their career or business but will wait until after summer. This makes Miranda and me twitch!
So, I invited Miranda today to spill the tea on three things you can do to optimize your LinkedIn profile this summer and trust me, these tips are golden nuggets.
Whether youâre looking to level up your career or turn your side hustle into a full-time job, now is the time to act.
Here's why waiting is a bad idea: to stand out in a crowded market, you need to do what others arenât doing. When people take breaks, like in the summer, you double down. You can still enjoy your summer while being intentional about your efforts on LinkedIn. As Miranda says, "If you're not on LinkedIn, what are you even doing?"
Miranda also just released an incredible book called "Own Your Awesome on LinkedIn: There Are One Billion Members, But Only One You." For those who think LinkedIn is overrated, this book is for you. A few strategic actions can make a big difference in your networking efforts.
So, Podsters, letâs not wait! Start optimizing your LinkedIn profile now and get ahead of the game.
Letâs make this summer count!
