What does a REAL WOMAN living a REAL-LIFE look like and feel like - no filters, no masks, no personas - just real, honest, whole and alive. What if WHO YOU ARE, AS YOU ARE, is all that’s required - no extra needed? In fact, what if the REAL YOU is the source of connection, love and coming more fully alive in your work and life? The Real Women, Real Lives podcast, is a place where all of you is welcome. A space where we share the TRUTH of who we are - the messy AND the magical. The wild and wise. The imperfectly perfect. We don’t need to hide any of it. As a matter of fact, the more we share about it, the more connected, courageous, and alive we feel. Every week, we will bring you stories, insights, realizations, and experiences from our own journeys on the path to getting more real as we navigate our businesses, our leadership and our lives.

Are there places you've been or directions you might be heading that don’t feel like they line up? Take time to listen to this episode—you may feel differently on the other side of this conversat...

Episode 22: Lean In To Your Imagination
In today's episode, Barb and Melissa explore the expansive landscape of imagination, the fertile ground from which all things new spring forth.

Episode 20: Stop Being Reasonable
In today's episode, Barb and Melissa discuss how perceiving something as unreasonable comes from doubt, especially when we are in uncharted territory. They encourage us to get less ‘reasonable’ and listen to our wisdom rather than preconceived ways of doing things. In what areas of life could you get a little less reasonable?
