Welcome back, Podsters, and wow, are you in for a treat today?
What if I told you that after today’s episode if you follow the advice from our very special guest, you will have everything you need to guard your energy like a ninja and face each day as if it’s going to be the best one yet?
I’m serious, Podsters. This is the real deal. And if you’ve been with us for a while, you know I have a not-so-secret obsession with Brenda Johnston. And she’s back again today Podsters giving us allllll the tips and practical advice so we can shore up our energy as we head into our busy fall lives.
Brenda is a subconscious mindset coach and energy mentor who helps women break through to the next level in business and in life; and today we are talking all things energy. How to get find, harness and protect your precious energy and in particular - how to identify and stop your energy leaks. This is a crucial topic as we move into fall and the holidays because I know you know Podsters - very soon our energy will start to drain as we manage competing priorities, the holiday season, all of it.
Too often, we ignore the importance of protecting our energy, even though we know how important it is to ensure we have enough left over for our own needs and lives.
Today, we share what creates energy leaks, such as people-pleasing, repeating patterns of behavior that don’t serve us, and having weak or no boundaries. Whether overt or covert, these behaviors can drain your energy, impact your life, and lead to the dreaded burnout.
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 – observe, don’t absorb. Yes, it’s that simple and we dig deeper into how to observe what’s 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 it’s the perfect time to tidy up your mind, the space where you "live 24/7."
Are you ready to manage your energy, take back your life and THRIVE??
Buckle up, Podsters, because this episode could change your life.

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 R’s for success:
Remember – Remember that imposter syndrome is just a thought, not reality. It’s something many people feel, even the most successful. Don’t let it trick you into thinking you don’t belong.
Recall – When doubt creeps in, recall your wins, the skills you’ve built, and everything you’ve already achieved. You’ve done it before, and you can do it again.
Reframe – Reframe those negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Instead of “I’m not good enough,” tell yourself, “I bring something unique, and there’s room for me.”
Are you ready make the bold move, step into who you know you are meant to be and finally DO THE THING?
You know it’s time.
You also know there’s a whole new life waiting for you on the other side of your fear and this powerful, two-day retreat is where transformational coaching meets tactical execution so you can actually DO THE THING.

Podsters! We’re in the final stretch of 2024 with just four months left, and it’s time to make sure you’re 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, it’s 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 that’s school, work, or just life getting busier. It’s crucial to think about how you’re spending your time.
Are you trading time for money, or money for time?
This is something that changes throughout your life, and today, we’re diving into what that looks like at different stages.
Why it’s so important to get this balance right, whether you're in corporate or running your own show? Because if you don’t nail this now, you will miss out on those memorable moments and cause yourself unnecessary stress.
So, Podsters, how are you valuing your time? Let’s figure out how to make the most of what’s left of 2024!
SIDE NOTE: Do remember that 2015 wife bonus scandal? Let’s 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.

It’s 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 – 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.
You’re not alone Podsters and guess what? This is the perfect time to level up in both your life and business, and this week’s episode will help you to do just that.
Today I’m 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, it’s 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. It’s like a second New Year!
With shorter days and a busier schedule, it’s easy to feel like there aren’t 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 it’s 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 don’t schedule anything at all and simply let things play out and happen for you!
Life happens, and it’s 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 you’re feeling that end-of-summer stress, Podsters, I got you. Together, we’ll 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 they’re going to be in your life?
An instant connection - - might be a lighting bolt and might be simply a KNOWING.
Well Posters, that’s what happened to me two years ago when I first heard Tiffany Carter speak on a podcast. She’s a highly successful entrepreneur, host of the #5 podcast for business, multi-millionaire business owner and all around beautiful human being.
She’s 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 I’m managing priorities
· About ME overcoming my OWN limiting beliefs
· What happens when you really go all in and get what it is you think you’ve wanted all along – 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 – your behavior shapes your outcomes. So, I ask…
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, you’ll 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 with…. 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 “back to school” frenzy, it’s the perfect time to assess who you're spending time with on the playground of life.
Let’s 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, let’s 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 who’s 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 “distractions” are calling, I bang out what I need to do a little earlier so I can enjoy whatever it is that’s 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 “thrive “list 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, we’re 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 week…are 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), I’m 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 people’s 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, let’s talk about the magic phrase: ** "I'm comfortable with my decisions."**
These five words, when you truly believe them – 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 – 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.
I’d love to hear you practice saying "I'm comfortable with my decisions," and then notice the shift in your interactions.
It’s 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, I’m shining a light on a topic that has been coming up in many conversations with my clients but rarely discussed: SELF-SABOTAGE.
Whether it’s 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 doesn’t just affect your career it can also wreak havoc on your personal relationships. Let’s 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.
Here’s 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 I’m 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, let’s 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.We’ve been talking for the past couple of weeks about how you can have your summer fun while also leveling up your life. And we’ll continue to talk about how you can take now so you're ready by the end of summer. We’ve 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. That’s stressful and we don’t do that over here. Instead, think today we talk about how to respond or start a conversation effortlessly and authentically.
And – 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.
It’s 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 week’s 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 “wait until I’m more focused” approach and how this will always lead you back to bring one of the herd. We won’t do that around here at Unmute Yourself the Podcast so today I’ve brought in THE leading authority on LinkedIn and global branding expert – Miranda Von Fricken. This Queen of Cool is walking us through three immediate and actionable steps you can take this summer so that you don’t wake up in September and say “oops, should have started sooner”.
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 you’re 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 aren’t 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, let’s not wait! Start optimizing your LinkedIn profile now and get ahead of the game.
Let’s make this summer count!

It’s June, Podsters and who else is here for summer? I am so here for summer. As you know, my summer word is “barefoot” and I’m coming in with a PSA for you…
Every year, I have the same conversation in the spring or early summer. People want to make a move, they want to DO THE THING and the they say, "Let's circle back at the end of the summer." They want to enjoy their summer.
I get it, I do. I love summer as much as you do, and if you’re in a toxic work environment, or you want to make THE BIG CHANGE, taking a break from thinking about it is a bad idea.
If you're in a job or running a business that doesn’t feel good, you have got to take action, NOW.
Here's why.
When you take that break, summer becomes fall, and then it's back to school, busy budgets, travel, and trade shows. Then comes Thanksgiving, the holidays, and you wake up six months later still in that miserable job.
You have to make a change before it changes you.
The three lies I hear us going back to the most are:
· "Summer is not a good time to focus"
· "Summer is not a good for me to network"
· "No one’s hiring in the summer."
None of these are true.
Summer is the perfect time to focus, network, and lay the groundwork for future opportunities.
Take action now, and make a change before it changes you.
You deserve the best because you are the best.

Today, I’m here to close the loop on something I’ve promised to discuss. For those of you who have been following along, you know I’ve been going through some stuff lately, and I said I’d come back to talk about it. So here I am, ready to share why it’s okay not to be okay and why we need to normalize it.
When I was going through my rough patch, it was shocking how often people would ask how I was doing, and I’d automatically respond with, “I’m great, how are you?” even when I wasn’t. It felt so inauthentic, and that’s why I think we need to talk about it, not as a Debbie Downer, but to be honest and authentic and create genuine connections. It’s essential to recognize that it’s okay not to be okay.
We all need help at some point, yet we often say we’re fine when we’re not.
Over the past 12 weeks, I kept telling people I was fine when I wasn’t, and it felt like a narrator in my head said, “She was not indeed fine.” every time I said those words, “I’m okay”.
No one wants to dump their problems on a casual acquaintance, but with close ones, we should be truthful. It’s important to admit when we’re struggling, both to ourselves and to our loved ones.
By pretending to be okay, we miss opportunities for genuine connection and support. When we say we’re fine when we’re not, we shame ourselves unnecessarily.
I learned that lesson the hard way, feeling like I had always to be great. I wasn’t being authentic, and it took a toll on me. It’s essential to be honest and seek help when needed.
Podsters, let’s normalize not being okay. If someone asks how you are, be honest. You don’t have to explain everything, but you can say, “I’ve been better.” Let’s be real with ourselves and each other. It’s okay not to be okay; acknowledging that is a step towards healing.

Podsters, what if I told you there is a way to celebrate joy, focus on your priorities, hold yourself accountable for what matters most, and have a boatload of fun along the way?
Would you do it?
Would you want to do it? I know you would. Who doesn’t want more happiness in their life.
That's exactly what I’m going to share with you today. The why, how, and what to add to your summer bucket list.
This isn’t just another to do list where it feels like work to cross things off. It’s a list that is celebrating, enjoying the moments, and focusing on things that make you happy.
Trust me, making the list will create accountability to keep joy as a focus this summer.
So buckle up, Podsters. It's going to be a fun, whimsical, and powerful conversation.
Who’s READY FOR SUMMER FUN?

Hello, Podsters! I’ve been noticing recently that every woman I’m working with, particularly in Speaker School- EVERY ONE has one thing in common. It doesn’t matter if they want to share their stories on stage, host workshops, write books, or simply live their truth; there is ONE common thread between everyone.
It’s the power of their story.
So today, we are diving in. Head first into the TRUE WHY for your story. Your goals. Your dreams. WHY is THIS THING so important? And why is that why so important?
Today I’m taking you through the “why” exercise which you may remember from several months back. I use this exercise with every one-on-one client and each time – the ultimate result is the same. It doesn’t matter how we get there, or how much resistance comes to the surface – EVERY TIME, we end up with an epiphany which reveals the true “why” behind this desire the change. This why becomes your True North and propels you forward when you consider giving up.
So, Podsters today we will explore your “why” and this new awareness will help you live your truth.
Because once you tap into your “why”, you will NEVER look back.

Hey Podsters, today is about REMEMBERING WHO YOU ARE.
Why is this important? Because when you show up as someone other than yourself, when you lose your way, when you can’t find your True North - you get stuck. You spiral. You show up without joy. And Podsters - that’s not fun for anyone.
Today I’m walking you through an exercise to help you get back to you. To go back to your True North. This exercise will help you find YOU so you can authentically and confidentially show up for yourself and experience more joy.
We start with honing in on your values. Your values are your compass. They guide you back to you when things get uncomfortable or misaligned.
So buckle up, we are going deep into your core values so that you can show up for yourself again and again and again.
GRAB YOUR FREE VALUES EXERCISE HERE.
I walk you through this process today and if you don’t have time to grab the tool - I’ve got you! All you need is a pen and a piece if paper and I’ll take you through finding your True North.
Until next time, keep it real, stay true to you, and Podsters, Peace out!

I’m serving up an oldie, a goodie, and a quickie, Podsters! Get ready for a treat as we revisit one of our most popular episodes: 'Letting Go of What's No Longer Serving You,' featuring the fabulous Beth Knauss, co-founder of Unmute Yourself podcast.
It's a quickie, but boy, do we pack a punch as we dive into the art of purging and letting go—be it people, places, things, habits, or beliefs. Because sometimes, making space for the new requires shedding the old.
I'll be back with a bang next week and in the meantime, I'm taking a quick break to recharge and recalibrate.
Until next, Podsters, remember to let go of what no longer serves you. Peace out!
