    More Than Your Business Card with Carley Crose

    Remember your first business card? Carley Crose handed hers to everyone, including the waiter at Chili's. Years of chasing titles and promotions later, a job where she could name her own title led to a revelation: all of this is made up. In this episode, Casey sits down with Carley, a program manager at an incentive meeting planning agency (and Casey's cousin), to talk about why so many of us tie our worth to a title and what opens up when we let that go. Listen for: - What Carley did when she got to write her own job title - Why "I'm so busy" became the brag, and what it costs the people around you - How little girls and little boys describe themselves differently - The great aunt whose titles nobody in the family can name, and why she's still the one they want to be like If you're a high-achieving, impact-driven woman who has ever measured yourself by the next title, this conversation is for you.

    Interrupting Contagious Narratives

    When Casey showed the women she interviewed for her upcoming book its table of contents, almost every one of them said, "I would open up to the chapter Interrupting Contagious Narratives." In this solo episode, Casey shares why negative narratives spread so much faster than positive ones, and how to keep from catching them. Two types of contagious narratives: 1. Projections: borrowed beliefs about who we are or how things have to be, passed on by others and carried as if they were our own 2. Echoes: gossip, grievances, and complaints that get repeated until they shape how everyone sees the people and the work Listen for: - What a measles model taught Casey about how fast negative narratives spread - Three response stems for when someone projects their fears onto your next move - The three reasons we nod along in conversations we know feel wrong - How to vent without handing your baggage to everyone around you If you're a high-achieving, impact-driven woman who wants to protect your integrity in every room you're in, this episode is for you.

    The Control Trap

    When things get messy, do you tighten your grip? Karla Reinhardt, principal and author of From Control to Connection, knows that instinct well. Early in her leadership she planned every meeting, printed every step, and answered every question, until she noticed her team had stopped bringing ideas to the table. In this episode, Casey and Karla talk about what control costs us at work and at home, and the three-step Triage Leadership Model Karla uses to slow down before she decides: 1. Stabilize 2. Diagnose 3. Connect Listen for: - What a goalie's penalty-kick dive teaches us about action bias - The one-word question that changed a policy for an entire paramedic team - How Brazilian jiu-jitsu became a lesson in failing forward for Karla and her kids - Why "just make the call" from your team can be a sign of trust If you're a high-achieving, impact-driven woman who tends to jump in and fix, this conversation offers another way forward.
