As humans, we all are impacted by the societies within which we live. It is difficult enough to figure out who we are and what's important to us, let alone to be a person who wants to build a career in areas traditionally dedicated to certain groups of people. The role of women in business continues to expand but is still limited not only by men who are fearful but women who have not claimed within themselves their right to professional success. For women empowerment to work in leadership, they must start to look inward and claim what they can bring into the business, as well as how to influence the very nature of how the business is transacted. Rebecca Victor explains how women can rise as leaders by dedicating themselves to a single powerful purpose while gathering the courage to fight negativity, discrimination, and ideals that do not serve them or help them grow. 

When times are tough and uncertain, it can feel as if we are being whipped around by fierce winds. By building resilience, we can make it through those times when we feel like we are ready to snap from the pressure or throw in the towel. Rebecca Victor discusses how our inward journey can help us gather the courage and strength to face any obstacle, especially today when the pandemic and political disputes challenge the world. She also underlines the importance of peace in achieving a resilient self, focusing on how a strong person must always aim to live with greater ease, no matter what it takes.

The desire to connect with people is certainly an admirable thing, but the one important thing that we often forget is realizing what we really want to do. The art of understanding yourself does not come that easy. It requires an in-depth exploration of your inner self. Rebecca Victor talks with Mary D. Mohn, LMT to discover how she made her own inward journey that led to discovering what she really wanted to do. She explains how a Mathematics major, who was unable to find her purpose in accounting, took the leap and became a licensed massage therapist instead. Mary discusses how finding her life’s purpose impacted her mission to nurture others and the way she teaches her kids to do the same thing through walking and getting into labyrinths.

As parents, we are learning as much as our children are. What can we do to feel more confident when it comes to our parenting duties, helping them feel empowered and live successfully in today's world, all while we are doing the same? Sharing personal examples, Rebecca Victor talks about honoring the uniqueness of each family and how to trust ourselves as parents, even while we grow alongside our children. She explains how going on an inward journey plays a huge role in this personal pursuit, allowing us parents to understand ourselves better each day as we give a huge chunk of our energy to understanding our kids.

Ever wonder how to enhance your ability to be innovative and to lead with greater conviction and personal authority? Whether you're by yourself or in a group where you're attempting to come up with something innovative, new, and novel to bring to the marketplace and business, there will always be that feeling of loss. It's almost as if we develop a tunnel-like vision about it. And in that tunnel-like vision, instead of seeing possibilities beyond, everything gets locked into where you're at, what you're doing, and the fact that you're stuck. In today's podcast, Rebecca Victor explores how turning inward for wisdom and guidance offers unique perspectives that allow each person to be more creative and to lead with greater effectiveness.
