In today’s episode, I will let you in on some of the  paths to embracing personal growth and business transformation.  
On my journey of becoming single after 40 years of marriage, I learned the importance of self-love, identity shifts, and creating a supportive social life. 
Initially uncomfortable, I challenged societal norms and expectations, emphasizing the need to honor my emotions and create a healthy relationship with myself. 
This practice of honoring my real felt experience applies to how ALL OF US experience life and growth.  
As a business owner, being single brings its own challenges. The remedy — you guessed it — self-love and compassion.  Transitions that are tough, yes, offering yourself grace, self-love and compassion are so. powerful and effective for your growth of stepping into what is next.

Welcome to our first REAL episode of the Leader's Table. Bonnie and I have a lively conversation with all the why's & how's of creating great connection with simple loving gestures. And why this can be so important for healthy leadership.

Learn how investing in loving gestures and creating small moments of connection with a loved one ARE the key to:
Supporting your well-being as a leader. Helping with the guilt of those long work days and business trips. Building a routine that supports you and helps you to process work related stress. In this interview with Bonnie Daneker, author of the book: Stoplights are for Kissing we discuss how these small gestures between you and your partner can be just the connection you need right now.
The inspiration for Stoplights are for Kissing came from The Book of Awesome (by Neil Pasricha) meets1000+ Little Habits of Happy, Successful Relationships (by Marc and Angel Chernoff) and Bonnie's beautiful research.

Diana mentions the resource of following @yungpueblo and his recent book around relationships and healing: The Way Forward.

___________________
Whether we’re together as a new couple, in a seasoned partnership, or
looking for that special someone, we want to feel good about our intimate
connections. Too often, work, kids, family, and community obligations
threaten that private, inner space.
 
In Stoplights Are For Kissing: 52 Small Gestures To Sustain Love In Your
Relationship, author Bonnie Daneker addresses intimacy with her collection of
simple, shareable ideas to keep romance alive. The gift book, beautifully
illustrated by Eevie Lanier, offers easy, repeatable ways to grow closer to your
partner. These gestures of affection, some planned and some surprising, pay
back in multiples over time – unlike a single expected gesture per year – to
create a fulfilling, sustainable marriage or relationship.

This podcast introduces a fresh way of doing business for me. I’m bringing to the table conversations to inspire, clarify and embolden you to do what YOU know you’re called to do in the world. Yes, your business is a calling no matter what your actual business is. 

And Leadership is brave…….welcome to the party!

In this podcast:

I will cover that one of my sources of shame growing up is actually around one of my biggest gifts and strengths-conversation.

What to do if some parts of your business don't fit anymore.
A conversation about why I'm bringing this new format to you now.
Questions to ponder:  
Is there a part of your life that doesn’t fit? 
If so, can you give that some attention?  No big changes are required, giving yourself permission to entertain a change or a shift can give you the clarity you need to say Hell Yes I’m doing that or no not now but if I shift this….that could change everything. What got your attention as I shared this journey of doing something new?  Is there one desire you can honor by just admitting that you want it? Is there something you do that actually brought criticism before in your life?  Interesting, isn't it?     These were some of the questions I was asking as I grew through this recent journey in my life.  I hope you’ll be encouraged to honor your heart here as well.
