	Can Your Strengths Actually Hold You Back? S6E7	01 Jun 2026	00:21:14
What if the very talent that makes you successful is the exact thing holding you back? You’re invested in personal growth and leaning into your CliftonStrengths. From the outside, your high responsibility or strategic thinking looks like a massive advantage. But underneath, you might feel overwhelmed, stuck in perfectionism, or carrying burdens that were never yours. In this episode, we explore the concept of dialing up and dialing down your strengths, and why every CliftonStrengths theme is actually neutral. If you’ve been feeling: Stuck in an endless loop of consuming information without actually implementing it Exhausted by carrying responsibilities and guilt over things that were never yours to own Paralyzed by perfectionism while endlessly tweaking a project This conversation will help you use your talents as a strategic toolkit rather than an automatic default. What You’ll Learn Why the biggest misconception about your natural talents is that they are always helping you succeed. How to visualize your CliftonStrengths like a sound mixing board to adjust your approach for any situation. Real-world examples of dialing down the Maximizer and Learner themes to finally activate execution. The danger of the high Responsibility theme and how to recognize when you are carrying too much. A three-step framework: knowing your talents, intentionally using them, and recognizing when to rein them in. Key Insight No theme is inherently good or bad—it's all about how it's being used, the situation, your awareness level, and your energy. Quick Self-Check Is your current top strength helping you in this specific situation, or is it getting in your way? Are you taking on something right now that isn't even yours to own? Do you need to dial down a thinking or learning theme so you can finally take action? Next Steps Book a 90-minute Start with Strengths debrief session to discuss how your specific themes show up in real life, where they help you thrive, and where they might unintentionally be getting in your way.

What if your career is not a mistake, but simply preparation for what comes next? Episode Summary You have built a career where you are successful and well-respected. From the outside, it seemed like the perfect role that you would eventually retire in. But underneath, something has shifted, and you are starting to wonder if you are in the wrong job.

	Burnout or Just Ready for More? 3 Ways to Know What You’re Really Feeling S6E3	07 Apr 2026	00:15:49
Burnout or boredom? What if the reason you feel “off” isn’t burnout—but a sign you’ve outgrown your current season? You’re showing up. You’re doing well. From the outside, everything looks good. So why does it feel… flat? In this episode, we unpack a common but often misdiagnosed experience for ambitious, mid-career women: the difference between burnout and boredom—and why what you’re feeling might actually be something deeper. If you’ve ever thought: This should feel more fulfilling than it does I’ve worked hard to get here—so why does something feel off? Do I need a break… or do I need something more? This conversation will help you find clarity. What You’ll Learn Burnout vs. boredom: how to tell the difference Why high-achieving women often feel “off” even when things are going well The hidden cost of staying in a role you’ve outgrown What “divine restlessness” is—and why it matters How to respond without making impulsive or drastic changes Key Insight Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re overwhelmed… it’s that you’re under-challenged. Quick Self-Check Do I feel better after rest—or still off? Am I overwhelmed… or under-stimulated? Have I outgrown this version of my work or life?

	Feeling Stuck in Your Career? The Reason May Not be What You Think S5E12	16 Feb 2026	00:20:21
In this episode, you will find out that the real tension making you feel stuck is not just about overwhelm at home or being in the wrong career. It could be that you are staying in a career you already know isn't leading toward the life you actually want. If you have been feeling restless, frustrated with yourself, or irritated with everyone around you, this episode is for you. We explore the "secret tension" that no one is talking about: the conflict between your current role and your future vision. In this episode, we cover: The 3 Reasons You Feel Frustrated: Why feeling stuck usually comes down to undefined career seasons, overloaded life capacity, or a misaligned direction. The 4 Career Seasons: How to identify if you are in the "Stay and Strengthen," "Adjust and Realign," "Explore What's Possible," or "Ready to Take a Strategic Leap" phase. Capacity Reality Check: How to ask yourself if you are truly maxed out or if you are actually hiding behind your busyness. The Vision Question: The one critical question to ask yourself: "If I keep giving maximum effort to this current life for the next 3-5 years, will it move me toward the life I want or further from it?". When your career season aligns with the life you are building toward, even a full season feels manageable and meaningful.

	Fearless Career Change: How Faith, Courage, and Clarity Lead to Your Next Step S5E10	02 Feb 2026	00:17:21
If you feel God nudging you toward a new path but fear is louder than your faith, or if you are waiting for a guarantee before you take the first step, this episode is for you. Today, I am sharing a special message from my recent visioneering workshop for the Discovering Your Calling alumni. We explore three specific Bible stories that reveal a hard truth: often, the miracle only happens after you take the risky step. I discuss why we often hesitate to act because we do not want to look foolish or fail. We look at the stories of Joshua and the widow to see why obedience often defies logic, and why your "jar of oil" is already enough to start. You’ll learn: ✓ The "Flood Stage" Faith: Why you must step into the water before the river stops flowing (Joshua 3). ✓ The "Jericho Strategy": How to move forward even when the plan seems illogical or embarrassing to others. ✓ The "Empty Jar" Lesson: Why you need to ask for help and use the resources you already have right now. ✓ The Art of "Shutting the Door": How to block out distractions to focus entirely on your assignment. ✓ Reframing Success: Why God meets obedient action rather than waiting for perfect faith.

	Unlock Your Potential: How Vision Boards Transform Work & Life Goals S5E9	19 Jan 2026	00:29:50
Have you ever wondered if vision boards are just a fun craft project, or if they actually help you achieve your dreams? In this episode, we move beyond the "woo-woo" and get into the practical reasons why a vision board is one of the most powerful tools for your career and life. If you have ever bought a specific car and suddenly started seeing it everywhere on the road, you already know how this works. It is about training your brain to notice the opportunities that matter. I break down the critical difference between a "Goal Poster" (your checklist) and a "Vision Board" (your emotional anchor) and walk you through the exact steps to create one that pulls you toward your future. In this episode, you will learn: The Science of Focus: How the Reticular Activating System works (and the "Red Mustang" example) to filter reality in your favor. Vision Board vs. Goal Poster: Why you need both in your office but why they serve two very different purposes. The 5 Essentials: The specific items to include on your board, from emotional images to symbols and affirmations. The Guardrails: 5 rules to follow to ensure your board is for you, not for Instagram. The Vision Statement: How to write a present-tense story for your life that helps you internalize your success before it happens. Mentioned in this episode: Discovering Your Calling (Book) The concept of "Fearful Fred" vs. "Ready to Go Ruth" Action Step: Once you listen, gather your supplies (magazines, stickers, photos) and block out time this week to build your board. If you feel brave, snap a photo and DM it to me. I would love to cheer you on as you set the direction for 2026. Love this episode or have questions?

	Leading Through Change with CliftonStrengths® & Vision Crafting — A Conversation with John Hildebrand S5E08	12 Jan 2026	01:02:47
If you’ve set big goals for the year but they already feel like a heavy obligation... or if you’re a leader trying to fix team problems but only finding more frustration... this episode is for you. Today, I sat down with organizational change strategist John Hildebrand to explore why traditional goal setting often fails without a "magnetic vision." We discuss the science behind why goals can become "negative emotional attractors" when they aren't connected to a larger purpose, and how to shift your brain into a state that sustains long-term growth. John shares his personal journey from a status-driven definition of success to one of deep self-discovery. We unpack the difference between "fixing" and "visioneering," the hidden power of Empathy in leadership, and the specific questions you need to ask to bypass your inner critic. You’ll learn: ✓ The "Magnetic Vision" Secret: Why setting goals without an inspiring 10-year vision is a recipe for burnout and failure. ✓ Vision Crafting vs. Problem Solving: How to use the "Positive Opposite" approach to focus on what you want to see, rather than obsessing over what’s wrong. ✓ The "Lottery Question": A powerful exercise to silence your practical brain ($500 million tax-free!) and discover what truly lights you up. ✓ Empathy as a Hard Skill: Why this talent is often misunderstood and how it serves as a direct line to building trust in teams. ✓ Living the Questions: Wisdom from poet Rainer Maria Rilke on how to be patient with uncertainty and "live your way" into the answers. Mentioned in this episode: The Science of Change Book by Richard Boyatzis: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=science+of+change+boyatzis&adgrpid=185684972785&hvadid=779615795428 Connect with John Hildebrand: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-hildebrand/ John’s Website: https://johnhildebrand.com If you’re ready to stop striving and start aligning with your God-given talents, let’s connect.

	The Simple 3 Step Framework to Achieve Your Work & Life Goals in 2026 S5E07	05 Jan 2026	00:22:18
If you looked back at 2025 and realized you drifted, got distracted, or missed the mark on your biggest dreams, you are not alone. Even after years of personal development, it is possible to slide into a spiral of doubt when the results don't match the effort. In this episode, we strip away the complex workshops and "louder" goal-setting tactics that often overwhelm ambitious women. Instead, we focus on a simple, proven 3-step framework to move from confusion to clear, directed action. We explore why "insight" alone isn't enough to change your life and how to create a strategy that actually fits your season of life.

	Thriving Again: How to Rebuild Your Career without Exhaustion S5E06	15 Dec 2025	00:22:23
If you feel exhausted by your business even though you’re doing everything "right"… this episode is for you. Today, I share a powerful case study from a recent client session that reveals why following "expert" advice might be exactly what’s draining you. It’s not about working harder. It’s not about time management. It’s about the subtle but dangerous misalignment between your natural strengths and your daily tasks. I unpack the "24 Hours" myth, the difference between pruning and harvesting seasons, and why clarity often comes from quiet confirmation rather than fireworks. You’ll learn: ✓ Why doing "everything right" on paper can still leave you feeling wrong inside ✓ The "24 Hours" Myth: Why you need to stop comparing your day to someone else’s ✓ How to identify if you are relying on your "lower talent themes" and why it causes burnout ✓ The critical difference between a "Pruning Season" and a "Harvesting Season" — and how to accept where you are ✓ Why your strengths don't replace discernment, but support it ✓ 4 specific questions to ask yourself to move from hustle to alignment Mentioned in this episode: The Only 2 Tips You Need for Success and Balance in 2025: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2081544/episodes/16360443 If you’re ready to stop striving and start aligning with your God-given talents, let’s connect. I invite you to dive into your CliftonStrengths report, as I did for my friend, so you can find the peace and clarity you deserve. Love this episode or have questions?

	Unleash Your Potential: Conquering Fear to Achieve Career Success S5E05	01 Dec 2025	00:16:35
If you feel stuck, scared to make a change, or frustrated that you’re not following through on the ideas and dreams in your heart… this episode is for you. Today, Sheri unpacks the real reason ambitious, successful mid-career women freeze when they feel called to something more. It’s not lack of clarity. It’s not motivation. And it’s definitely not time management. Using research from Harvard Business Review, Duke University, McLean Hospital, and the KPMG Women’s Leadership Study, Sheri reveals what’s actually holding you back — fear, doubt, emotional avoidance, and the confidence gap. You’ll learn: ✓ Why 95% of ideas never make it past the starting line ✓ The Attitude Wheel: the cycle every woman hits when starting something new ✓ What really happens at 6:00 — fear, freeze, distraction, and self-doubt ✓ The difference between clarity and confidence (and why clarity alone isn’t enough) ✓ Why successful women avoid career-changing risks (KPMG study) ✓ How to move from 6:00 to 9:00 faster, with less spiraling ✓ What Sheri sees in her clients at the end of her 10-week program — and why most stall ✓ The new Calling Creator Collective™ and how it supports you through fear and follow-through If you’ve been feeling called to a new direction but can’t seem to take the next step, this episode will help you understand why — and give you the pathway to move forward with confidence.

	Find Your Calling: What Your 3 a.m. Wake-Up Call Is Trying to Tell You S5E02	20 Oct 2025	00:17:07
Find Your Calling: What Your 3 a.m. Wake-Up Call Is Trying to Tell You Have you ever woken up at 3 a.m. with your mind spinning — questioning your career, your purpose, or whether you’re meant for something more? Those quiet middle-of-the-night moments aren’t random. They’re often the truest whispers of your calling… showing up before the world gets loud again. In this episode, Sheri explores why these 3 a.m. wake-up calls happen, what they’re trying to reveal, and why so many successful, high-achieving women end up hitting the “snooze button” on the very thing they’re being called to do. You’ll learn how to separate fear from truth, calm from chaos, and calling from noise — and how to begin answering that nudge without burning your life or career to the ground. ✨ In This Episode, You Will Learn: 🌙 The Power of 3 a.m. Thoughts Why those early-morning ideas often hold deeper wisdom — showing you who you’re becoming before you fully see it in the daytime. ⚔ Fear vs. Faith How to tell the difference between the quiet, sacred whisper (“I’m meant for more”) and the loud, fearful voice (“What will people think?”). 🦈 The 3 Saboteurs Meet the “sharks,” “danger buoys,” and “anchors” that keep you stuck, uncertain, or second-guessing your next step. 🎨 An Introduction to the Portfolio Career Why building multiple streams of work aligned with your strengths can give you the freedom and security to answer your calling with peace instead of panic. 🪜 A Simple 3-Step Action Plan A practical, strengths-aligned way to capture your next 3 a.m. idea and turn it into confident forward momentum — without quitting your job or blowing up your life. If you’ve been feeling restless, craving more purpose, or sensing a shift you can’t quite name… this episode will help you understand why — and what your next right step might be. 📝 Resources Mentioned Feeling called to something more?

	How to Navigate the Emotional Rollercoaster and Achieve Your Goals - Even During Chaotic Times S4E65	23 Jul 2024	00:22:46
Is summertime chaos throwing your goals off track? You're definitely not alone! Even the most motivated among us can struggle to maintain focus when schedules get disrupted and routines fly out the window. In this episode, I shared a powerful concept called the Attitude Wheel that perfectly illustrates the emotional ups and downs we experience while working on a new project. “The Attitude Wheel… helped me always realize, one, my feelings are normal, and two, how to get out of that dippy dump area, that dip where we might want to give in and say, I'm not supposed to be doing this, I can't do this." The Attitude Wheel breaks down this emotional journey into four distinct stages: Excitement (12 o'clock): You're brimming with enthusiasm and feel unstoppable. Doubt (3 o'clock): The initial excitement wanes and the finish line seems miles away. Fear and Procrastination (6 o'clock): Self-doubt creeps in, and you start questioning your abilities. Procrastination becomes your best friend (or worst enemy!). Renewal (9 o'clock): You remind yourself of your "why" and refuel your motivation. The key takeaway? These emotional shifts are totally normal! The important thing is to recognize them and have strategies in place to move through the inevitable dips in motivation. This episode equips you with 7 actionable tips to navigate the Attitude Wheel and stay on track, including: Revisit your "why": Reconnect with the core reasons behind your goal. Remember the reward: Focus on the positive outcome and how it outweighs the challenges. Create mini-habits: Break down your goals into small, manageable tasks. Schedule breaks: Avoid burnout by incorporating dedicated rest periods. Work with your energy: Match your activities to your natural energy levels. Seek support: Don't hesitate to ask for help from others. Take action: Commit to a single step within 24 hours to keep the momentum going. Ready to conquer your summer goals?

	What Your CliftonStrengths® Report Reveals About You (It Feels Uncannily Spot-On) S4E54	29 Apr 2024	00:30:11
Have you ever read your CliftonStrengths® report and thought, “How did they know this about me?” In this episode, I break down why your CliftonStrengths report can feel uncannily spot-on — and why that’s not an accident. If you’ve ever: Wondered what your report is really telling you Felt seen (and maybe a little exposed) by the language in it Struggled to translate your strengths into real-life direction Or felt successful but still misaligned or drained This conversation is for you. I walk through: What CliftonStrengths actually measures (and what it doesn’t) Why we often underestimate or misunderstand our own natural talents How strengths can be misread as weaknesses — by others and ourselves Why skills ≠ strengths, and how confusing the two leads to burnout How to use your report as a decision-making compass, not just a personality profile You’ll also hear real examples from client reports that show just how personal and specific this assessment really is — and why guessing your strengths will never give you the same clarity as seeing them in black and white. If you’re craving both success and fulfillment, this episode will help you understand why everything truly does start with strengths. 🔍 Ready to Go Deeper?
