In a recent interview, I shared a bit of my personal story and leadership journey.  I shared the transformation that inspired me to do this work of podcasting and Christian Life coaching on top of my full time role as a leader.  
 
As I talked through my story, I became tremendously grateful for how I feel inside today as compared to how I felt just a few years ago.  The most appropriate word that came to mind was FREE…. I feel a freedom that I had not felt in my entire life.  So today, I want to share my #1 tip when it comes to finding freedom as a frontline leader…someone who leads frontline workers.
 
Both as a frontline leader and now as a director, the thing that, in many ways, is a gifting has also brought me the most angst as a leader.   I care about people.   I care about how people are feeling, thinking, and behaving.   For too long, I cared far too deeply about what people where thinking and feeling about me. 
 
The culmination of years of over-functioning, the pandemic, and the shift we see in the workplace had me in a really dark place a few years ago.  I was ready to hang up my career entirely.  Have you been there, my leader friends?  Do you find yourself feeling anxious as you walk through the door, dreading whatever issues await you?  I feel you at the deepest level of my being!
 
But there is hope!   Tune in to hear more!
 
I hope this episode blesses you!
Xoxo,
Tanya

Today, we're going to tackle a topic that hits too close to home for many of us: fear-based living, thinking, and leading.  
 
You know, fear can be a sneaky little intruder in our lives, can't it? It creeps in quietly, disguising itself as caution or concern, but before we know it, it's taken over our thoughts, our decisions, and even our relationships. Fear-based living is all about letting that anxiety, that need to control, dictate how we navigate through life. It's like being trapped in a never-ending cycle of what-ifs and worst-case scenarios.
 
Sometimes, fear masquerades as practicality or responsibility. It whispers in our ears, telling us that if we just plan a little harder, if we just control a little more, then everything will be okay. But deep down, we know the truth: fear is a liar.
 
But fear not, my friends (pun intended)! There is hope, and there are steps we can take to break free from the chains of fear-based living, thinking, and leading. 
 
Key Highlights:
Understanding Fear-based Living
Recognizing Fear’s grip
The impact of fear on relationships
The impact of fear on leadership
Practical Tips to Break Free
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

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!

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!

Tanya
