"We figured out that there’s this whole opportunity for women to see getting older as a positive thing. It doesn’t have to be this negative part of your life. It can actually be super exciting and empowering. It’s about embracing the changes and feeling better, not worse, as you get older."

In this episode of Have a Seat, I sit down with Michele Wispelwey, CEO and Co-founder of FemGevity, to dive deep into the often-overlooked topic of menopause healthcare. 

We explore why it’s crucial for women to advocate for themselves, how to approach conversations with doctors about body changes, and the evolving landscape of women’s wellness. 

Michele’s passion for empowering women through health education and her insights on navigating menopause make this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about taking control of their health.

"When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween."

So in the ghouly spirit of October, I took to the mic to chat about the ways in which we should bring back the more free spirited characteristics of our inner child that honestly, may have been pushed aside as we've gotten older. 

When did we start operating from a place of fear? Fear of speaking up? Fear of being direct? Fear of taking a misstep and course correcting? Fear of learning something new? Fear of being honest? Fear of laughing until our sides hurt? Fear of admitting to what brings us joy? 

Take a quick listen and let me know your thoughts or I invite you to Have A Seat with me to continue the conversation!

"You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the water slide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute." ~ Tina Fey

As an employee of a primarily remote work organization, I am continually impressed by the amount of resources they have  available for their remote teams. One such resource is a brief feel good newsletter with helpful life tips and hacks that make for a light hearted read.

One such newsletter recently shared tips on how to gear up for holiday guests and socializing. The tips they offered were really good, and they got me thinking how great these would work within the office environment as well, whether remote, hybrid or in-office. So I took to the mic and offered my rebooted take on their advice.

Got a quick minute? Take a listen and let me know your thoughts or ideas. Can you relate to any of the tips? Let me know and let's continue the conversation!

“Everybody became a Living Room Leader in the early days of lockdown; depending on your home setup, you were leading from the living room, from the bathroom, from the closet…everyone was forced into this remote work leadership situation."

I was incredibly excited for the opportunity to Have A Seat with Debbie Goodman, author of Amazon #1 best seller, The Living Room Leader: Leadership Lessons for a Hybrid Future. 

As Debbie has stated, around mid-March 2020 or thereabouts, many became Living Room Leaders (or Bedroom/Kitchen/Garage Leaders), having to figure out new ways to manage, motivate, hire and engage their teams with no road map, no ‘best practice’ guidelines, and no ‘how-to-lead-remote-teams-RIGHT-NOW’ training manual.

As CEO of Jack Hammer Global, Debbie understands the shift that many leaders have had to make in record time, in order to lead, hire and engage their people, during what is undoubtedly the most challenging work-life experience that any of us have ever encountered.

Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the cards; it creates new cards.― Theodore Zeldin

Before we dive into this week’s conversation, can I ask you a couple of questions? Have you at any point thought,  “hmmm, I like to talk and share experiences, I wonder if I could create a podcast?” or “I wonder if having a podcast would benefit my business in any way, is this something I should explore?” 

The rumors are true, starting a podcast is simple, yes, but there is also time and money involved, so before you dive into your podcast adventure and get too far down the path, let’s chat! I’m here for you and happy to answer any podcasting questions you may have. I share more about this in this week's quick episode. Listen in!
