    The Return Reset Day 2: Release | What Are You Carrying?

    ✨ Continue the full experience and download your Mid-Year Reset Journal: Access the reset journal  Welcome to Day 2 of The Return: A 5-Day Mid-Year Reset. Yesterday, we paused and noticed where we are. Today, we're exploring a question many women rarely stop to ask: What am I carrying? Over time, responsibilities, expectations, emotional labor, pressure, and obligations can become so familiar that we stop noticing their weight. We become accustomed to carrying everything. Holding everything together. Meeting expectations. Managing responsibilities. And somewhere along the way, we stop asking: Is this mine to carry? In today's guided reflection, we'll explore what you've been carrying, what may no longer belong to you, and how awareness creates the possibility for release. Because before we can return to ourselves, we often need to acknowledge what we've been carrying. In This Episode • The hidden weight many women leaders carry • Why awareness is the first step toward release • Exploring expectations, obligations, and emotional labor • A simple reflection practice to help you carry things differently • Creating greater freedom, capacity, and self-trust Journal Prompt What am I carrying out of obligation rather than alignment? Continue the Full Experience The Return is a free 5-day guided experience designed to help women leaders pause, release what no longer serves them, reconnect with themselves, and move into the next season with greater clarity, alignment, and self-trust.

    The Return Reset Day 1: Pause | Before You Plan the Rest of the Year, Notice Where You Are

    ✨ Join The Return: A Free 5-Day Mid-Year Reset Download the Mid-Year Reset Journal and access the complete experience here: The Return: Mid-Year Reset Welcome to Day 1 of The Return: A 5-Day Mid-Year Reset. Before you create another plan, set another goal, or focus on what's next, I want to invite you to pause. Today isn't about fixing, improving, or figuring everything out. It's about noticing. Noticing where you are. Noticing what you've been carrying. Noticing what this season of life and leadership has asked of you. So many of us have become incredibly skilled at moving, accomplishing, producing, and holding everything together. What we often don't do is stop long enough to ask: How am I really doing? In today's guided reflection, we'll create space to slow down, check in honestly, and begin the process of returning to ourselves. Because sometimes the clarity we're seeking isn't found in doing more. It's found in creating enough space to hear ourselves again. In This Episode • Why pausing is often the most courageous thing we can do • The hidden cost of constantly moving toward what's next • Reflection questions to help you assess your current season • Creating awareness before creating a plan • The first step in returning to yourself Continue the Full Experience This episode is part of The Return: A 5-Day Mid-Year Reset — a free guided experience designed to help women leaders pause, reflect, release what no longer serves them, reconnect with themselves, and move into the second half of the year with greater clarity, self-trust, and intention.

    The Return: Before You Plan the Rest of the Year, Return to Yourself

    Sign up here:  The Return: Mid Year Reset What if the clarity you're seeking isn't on the other side of doing more? What if it's on the other side of returning to yourself? After taking a step back from the podcast to reflect on the next evolution of my work, I realized something unexpected: I wasn't searching for clarity. I was returning to myself. In this deeply personal episode, I share the journey that led me to uncover the deeper thread connecting leadership, nervous system regulation, self-trust, capacity, and sustainable growth. I also share the realization that has become the foundation of my work moving forward: A woman's power isn't found in doing more. It's found in returning to herself. And when she returns to herself, her presence becomes her power. If you've spent the first half of the year carrying a lot, pushing through, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode is an invitation to pause before rushing into what's next. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why I stepped away from the podcast for a seasonThe deeper questions I've been asking about leadership, growth, and alignmentThe thread connecting everything I've taught over the past several yearsWhy more effort isn't always the answerHow self-trust is built through returning to yourselfThe importance of creating space to reflect before planning the second half of the yearThe inspiration behind The Return: A 5-Day Mid-Year ResetJoin The Return: A Free 5-Day Mid-Year Reset The Return is a guided experience designed to help you: ✓ Pause and reflect on the first half of the year ✓ Release what you're no longer meant to carry ✓ Reconnect with yourself and your truth ✓ Create more clarity, self-trust, and alignment ✓ Move into the next season with greater intention and presence Connect with Glory Website: Elevate Beyond Boundaries Instagram: glory.lichon LinkedIn: Glory Lichon If This Episode Resonated Please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another woman who may need the reminder that her power isn't found in doing more—it's found in returning to herself.

    Sign up here:  The Return: Mid Year Reset This season of growth may not require you to do more. It may require you to let go. In this guided reflection and grounding practice, Glory invites you to slow down and honestly examine what this next level of expansion is asking of you—not just in your business or leadership, but in who you are becoming.

This episode is a space to pause, breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself without pressure, urgency, or self-abandonment. Inside this episode: Why expansion always requires releaseThe identity shifts that happen during seasons of growthLetting go of overworking, control, and people-pleasingThe difference between pressure and true capacityReflection prompts to help you ground into your next season with intentionIf you’ve been feeling stretched between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming… this conversation is for you.

    From Corporate Leadership to Aligned Leadership: Redefining How We Live and Lead (with Maggie Perotin)

    Sign up here:  The Return: Mid Year Reset This conversation isn’t about building a business the “right” way. It’s about what happens when what works… no longer feels aligned. In this episode, I’m joined by Maggie Perotin for a real conversation about her transition from corporate leadership into building a business that actually reflects how she wants to live and lead. We talk about the moments that don’t always get shared— the pressure, the burnout, the internal shifts that happen when success stops feeling sustainable… and what it takes to lead differently. This is also a meaningful conversation for me personally. Maggie was part of my early leadership journey—supporting me as I stepped into the CEO role, moved through limiting beliefs, and expanded what I believed was possible in my business and impact. This isn’t about adding more strategies. It’s about simplifying, trusting yourself, and creating a version of leadership that supports your life—not just your results. If you’ve been feeling the tension between what’s working… and what actually feels right, this conversation will land. In This Episode, We Explore: The transition from corporate leadership to aligned, self-led leadershipWhat burnout reveals about misalignment and capacityMoving through limiting beliefs when stepping into bigger leadershipBuilding a business that supports your life—not consumes itWhy simplicity is a powerful leadership strategyThe difference between external success and internal alignmentSelf-trust as a daily leadership practiceIntegration vs. “work-life balance”Creating sustainable growth without self-abandonmentKey Takeaways Success that isn’t aligned will eventually feel unsustainableLeadership requires identity expansion—not just strategyYou can build something that works… and still need to redefine how it feelsSimplicity creates clarity, consistency, and follow-throughSelf-trust is built through real decisions, not just mindset workYou don’t have to choose between your business and your life—you can build both in alignmentNotable Moments Maggie’s burnout in corporate leadership—and the turning point that changed everythingThe moment I realized I was holding myself back from growing my teamHow leadership expands your impact beyond what you can do aloneThe shift from doing everything → leading with intentionWhy reflection is necessary for staying aligned as you growSimple practices that help you come back to yourself in high-demand seasonsConnect with Glory:  Instagram LinkedIn Connect with Maggie Website: https://stairwaytoleadership.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/maggieperotin Explore her work, including her journal and podcast, to support your leadership and growth. Final Reflection If something in this conversation made you pause… pay attention to that. That’s usually where your truth is. Your presence is power. Come back to yourself—and lead from there. Share & Support If this episode resonated, share it with someone who’s navigating their own shift in how they lead. And if you haven’t yet, follow the podcast so you don’t miss future conversations around regulated, aligned leadership.
