    Episode 213: Bonus: Success vs Fulfillment: How To Have It All

    Episode 213: Bonus: Success vs Fulfillment: How To Have It All

    Welcome back, Leader, to the Fierce Factor podcast! I've got something special for you this week – a bonus replay episode where we’re diving into something close to my heart: the pursuit of success versus the pursuit of fulfillment.
    While this episode originally aired in 2022, its message rings truer than ever in today's fast-paced world. In my years of coaching business leaders, I've noticed a troubling trend: burnout, exhaustion, and a pervasive sense of disillusionment with one's own business. But why? It's simple – we've become consumed with comparison, constantly measuring ourselves against others and chasing some ill-defined notion of success.
    Just take a scroll through Instagram – it's all there, the endless stream of accomplishments and happiness on display. But here's the thing about external validation – it's fleeting. And when it fades, we're left chasing after it once more, trapped in an exhausting cycle of striving for more.
    So I challenge you, are you truly fulfilling yourself each day, or are you deferring happiness to some distant 'someday'?
    In this replay of 'Success vs Fulfillment: How To Have It All,' we unpack the dichotomy between external accolades and inner peace. Join me as I explore the pitfalls of constantly seeking external validation and the importance of finding fulfillment in our daily lives. From the pressures of social media to the sobering lessons of palliative care, this episode challenges us to reevaluate our priorities and redefine success on our own terms. Get ready to challenge the status quo and embark on a journey toward authentic contentment. Tune in now and let's redefine what success really means.

    Episode 209: What's Missing for Female Entrepreneurs in Our Space

    Episode 209: What's Missing for Female Entrepreneurs in Our Space

    Welcome back to the Fierce Factor Podcast, you're in for a treat as we dive into episode 209. I'm bringing you something special—a raw and unfiltered interview that captures the essence of our mission at KLC.
    Picture this: After a long day of filming the cameras are being packed away, the hustle of the day is winding down, and I find myself on a couch with my team, casually discussing ALT, our upcoming live event in Newport Beach, CA. Little did we know, my mic was still on, capturing a candid conversation about why ALT came to be.
    The 17 minute conversation that ensued was unscripted, unfiltered, and entirely unprepared for. I peel back the layers of my journey through corporate America, sharing frustrations about the status quo and the need for authentic voices in our industry. We talk about why so many dynamic women aren't seen on the biggest stages and the importance of amplifying their stories.
    I'll admit, my views can be controversial, even costly at times, but I believe in staying true to my convictions, no matter the challenges.
    My hope is that by sharing this conversation, you'll gain a glimpse into the discussions happening behind the scenes and find inspiration to embrace your own truth.
