She Knows the Way

Lara Dalch
She Knows the Way Podcast

She Knows the Way (previously Women on the Rise) is a show about deciding what’s next when doing what’s expected no longer feels right. Through conversations with women at all stages of life and career, host Lara Dalch explores when and how we forge our own path. What we compromise, whether we’re on a new path or an old one. And how we can rewire ourselves to stay awake to our dreams even when it means doing the unexpected. These conversations will soothe, delight, and guide you towards finding your own answer to the question “What’s next for me?” If you’ve always followed the script and suddenly find yourself without one, this show is for you.

    You’re Not a Flake. You’re Living a Portfolio Life.

    Christina Wallace is a self-described human Venn diagram with a career at the intersection of business, technology, and the arts. Through years of trial and error, Christina discovered that her seemingly unrelated talents and interests made her stronger, not unfocused. And she’s here to tell you how to lean into your own “portfolio life.” An entrepreneur, author, and Harvard Business School senior lecturer, Christina shares her career path and life philosophy known as 'The Portfolio Life' (outlined in her book of the same name). Feeling lost after the shutdown of her first startup, Christina found her way forward by applying a diversification model from financial portfolios to her life. Living a portfolio life, she says, offers an advantage in navigating an uncertain and ever-changing world—and allows you to prioritize personal happiness over conventional definitions of success.   Let’s keep in touch!

    How to Make Decisions Now

    Making decisions still feels hard. Not the everyday decisions like do I want my coffee black or with milk (although sometimes even that sends Lara down a rabbit hole). The decisions we still struggle with are the ones that feel bigger. Like do I want to take on this project? Or do I want to move? In 2020, we heard a lot about “decision fatigue.” Our brains were tired because of the constant tiny decisions we had to make about safety. But after two years, shouldn't we be better at making choices after all that practice?  Kimberly Diggles says no. In this week's episode, Lara and Kimberly talk about why decisions still feel hard––and the best way to think about making decisions now, even when the world feels like it’s on fire. Kimberly Diggles is a licensed therapist and mental health expert living in Long Beach and working throughout California. Before she was a therapist, she was a person. A friend. A sister. A daughter. A partner. Rather than use personal challenges as a weakness and an excuse to withdraw from relationships, Kimberly strives to accept struggle as the catalyst that can bring her into closer connection with others.   Let’s keep in touch!
