Today, we're diving deep into a topic that I know many of you can relate to: feeling exhausted, grumpy, and bitter because there never seems to be enough time for yourself or your family. But fear not, because today, we're going to explore how to shift from that draining victim mentality to a mindset of empowerment that can help you reclaim your joy and energy.
 
It's time to get real about what's been weighing you down. Feeling tired, grumpy, and bitter is often a symptom of a deeper issue: the constant pressure to do it all and be it all. But here's the thing – you were never meant to carry that burden alone. We'll explore why adopting a victim mentality only adds to your exhaustion and how breaking free from it is the first step toward renewal.
I hope this episode blesses you!
Xoxo,
Tanya

Today, I'm excited to delve into a topic that was inspired by one of my listeners: letting go of the need to control (in our lives and in our leadership).
 
Imagine standing in the middle of a turbulent sea, surrounded by crashing waves and swirling currents. That feeling of vulnerability, of being at the mercy of forces beyond your control—that's the essence of the human experience. It's like navigating through life's storms, desperately searching for an anchor to hold onto.
 
But here's the paradox: the more we grasp for control, the more it slips through our fingers like sand. It's like trying to capture the wind—we may temporarily contain it, but ultimately, it's bound to slip away. Control becomes a mirage, always just out of reach, leaving us trapped in a cycle of anxiety, frustration, and isolation.
 
But where does that need to control come from, and how do we break free and embrace the sweet surrender of trust? Today I share some practical tips to guide you on your journey.
 
Key Highlights:
Understanding the need to control
The roots of control
Lack of trust
Practical tips for letting go
 
I hope this episode blesses you!
Xoxo,
Tanya

As I recorded this episode, it was at the tail end of a week that was a roller coaster as a leader.   What was supposed to be a really great week because my team was being honored for something really special turned into one that also included some really difficult people situations.   
 
The unfortunate truth is, I allowed what was the negative minority (in terms of people involved) overshadow the very positive majority when it comes to my thought patterns and emotional energy.  It led me to consider the parable of the good shepherd in Matthew and in Luke.  
 
I began to wonder why I tend to focus so much of my mental and emotional energy on the 1 vs. the 99.   Reviewing the context and meanings behind the parables of the lost sheep helped me to understand myself more as a leader.  
 
Today I want to talk through the parallels of Jesus’ teaching in the parable of the lost sheep, and how that might show up in leadership.
 
Key Highlights:
The parable of the lost sheep
A modern day analogy
Application to servant leadership
The reason we go after the lost
The difference between being a pushover and a pursuer in leadership
Sometimes the lost don’t want to be found
I hope this episode blesses you!

Do you ever find that the more you have to do, and the more overwhelmed you start to feel, the more distracted you get and the less productive you are?   Chances are, that is because you do not have an effective system for tackling your projects and tasks.  Today I am going to share my secret to limiting distractions and getting more done in less time.
I have spent a fair amount of time gaining self-awareness and observing other professionals.  I see the entire spectrum from people who function in complete “fight or flight”, fire-fighting, chaotic and reactive styles of leadership to well-oiled machines who are extremely prepared, proactive, and productive. 
I started to pay more attention to the common traits among professionals who seemed to balance a lot of responsibility without being overwhelmed as compared to those who function in chaos.  I began to adopt strategies that have progressively gotten me further away from a reactive state and more into a proactive state.
Tune in to hear more! 
I hope this episode blesses you!

Yesterday we talked about choosing whether it is more important to be right or to get results.  We talked about it mostly in the context of leadership and team dynamics.   Well, it got me thinking about another area of our lives when this shows up and it is in our relationships.  It is a painful lesson that has become one of the themes by which I am more intentional about living, especially in my closest relationships.  
 
Have you witnessed or found yourself choosing to be right rather than building, maintaining or restoring a relationship?  Let’s talk about it…

Key Highlights:
Assess the principles you “stand” on.
Inauthentic relationships.
Parenting on principle.
Fear-based living.
Valuing relationship over “rightness”.
 
I hope this episode blesses you!
Xoxo,
Tanya
