The Soulful Leader Podcast

This is quite possibly the busiest time of the year. So much to get done. All the end of year wrap up coupled with the frenzy of buying gifts, preparing for guests and doing all the ‘stuff’.

Yet, in n…

Are there advantages and disadvantages of having a perfectionistic outlook on life? On yourself?

Stephanie and Maren argue both sides of this charged subject and share their unique insights on the low…

As leaders, we're confronted by challenges on a daily basis.
We're also looking for opportunities.

What if the very opportunity you seek is seeking for you, and it’s showing up as a challenge in your l…

We are so quick to judge based on the surface, the external. We’re trained to choose jobs, houses and even our mates based on those surface, external metrics. It’s left us feeling isolated, as if we …

Today’s podcast is very different. It introduces a radically different approach to life - from business  to relationships to health and wellness.

What if you could live in flow with 100% absolute cer…

We think of serendipity as luck, chance,and things just happening by accident. 

It’s not. 

Serendipity is actually an art, it’s the art of being such a good detective that you can predict what is comin…

You wake up with a laundry list of things to get done, grab a cup of coffee and jump in. There’s no space to ask the BIG questions like, ‘is this what I’m on this planet to accomplish?’ or ‘Is this w…

Control, where does it fit into our lives? Does it serve us? Or is it holding us back?

In this week’s podcast, Maren and Stephanie have an open conversation about control that will have you looking mo…

A reaction triggers a reaction, which triggers another, and another. As leaders, this can turn into an out of control snowball. How do you get it under control? Even better, how do you keep it from h…

“If I'm still for a moment, I'm procrastinating - and I feel guilty.” How often have you thought that? 

Our culture worships ‘doing’ and ‘being busy’. There are volumes and volumes of books, blogs, vl…

Leadership = have all the answers and prove yourself over and over. 

Why is this old thought process still SO pervasive??? It’s not only backwards, it’s outright damaging - to everyone involved. It ke…

Have you ever felt like you're on the wrong side of 40? Or actually been told that you are? Today Stephanie and Maren interview Dr. Rosie Ross about midlife, transitions and what it means to honor ou…

There’s a formula for how things are done. At least that’s what we’re told, what we believe. If we just learn, and follow, the ‘right’ formula, we’ll be successful. So we try. We spend our time and m…

We’re not meant to do it all. Yet society tells us the opposite. 

Throughout school we’re expected to do well in all subjects and to work harder where we are weak. At work, the expectation is the same…

As leaders we’re expected to be “all-in”, that’s the minimum, so what does that mean in today’s culture and what about the cost(s)? Based on quiet quitting and the proliferation of help wanted signs,…

We all do it. It happens in our heads, it happens at work, it happens at home. Most of the time we don’t even notice we’re doing it. 

Is it hardwired into us? It’s not something we WANT to do, especia…

Have you ever had one of those days, or even weeks where everything goes sideways? You have a plan, you are working your plan and someone drops a ball - the babysitter is late, the meeting gets pushe…

Our ‘more is never enough’ culture has taken its toll. Personally we are in debt, worn out, overworked and mentally and physically ill. As a culture, ‘quiet quitting’ is rampant, businesses are closi…

How do you balance opposites? Especially as a leader. A challenge comes up and it gets polarized. It becomes one of two things, 'push through', or ‘it’s not meant to be’. How do we find the ‘in-betwe…
