Best next step: joyful water.
Podcast featuring business professionals, entrepreneurs & leaders about "the work" of creating full lives and redefining success.
Best next step: joyful water.
It’s 9:30
There’s the ding of the clock from Grandma Bloom.
I’m folding pool towels. Or beach towels. Or towels.
It’s Saturday. I’m blurry from a day of living many lives.
I bought my Papa Earl a towel when we moved here.
A house with a pool.
This year I hit his half way mark.
I look at the years thinking I need more than 1/2 more.
A golden dog that marks our years in six years tap shoes around me.
Her tumbleweeds of fur creating the landscape of the corners of my life.
This is home.
With ghosts. With hope. With love.
This is home.
I forgot to charge my phone last night. It was sitting next to the charger. Unplugged. Proximity to charger does not charge the phone, who knew? (If this sounds familar give this post a 👍.)
And it got me to thinking how easy it is to do the same thing as humans.
When do you recharge?
(If this question made you feel big feelings please know that's a sign that you need to create space to recharge.)
Setting the time aside to recharge is important but it's challenging to do when you don't even know what you would do to recharge. Like scrambling to find the right charging cord 5 minutes before you need to leave for a flight.
That's where your Values come in. Your Values create clarity on what charges you (and what drains you).
Not crystal clear about what your Values are? Join me for the free Values Workshop next Thursday, March 24th at 12pm ET. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dwa9VMj
If you do know how you recharge today is the perfect day to decide when you'll recharge this weekend and what you'll do. Head back to your Value aligning actions - pick one, set the time, set the intention.
You'll find, just like my phone, that recharging makes a true difference in how you experience the weekend and the week ahead.
Sometimes we have to slow down to go faster. The saying goes Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast I believe and in this first featured episode today we’re talking to Tutti Taygerlyly about the roll slowness can play in your progress forward. As we’re in the thick of winter this feels like just the right time to go inward a bit.
Next up we’re talking with the incredible Elizabeth Rosenberg about bringing your whole self to your work and the opportunity that exists when we do (even if it’s a bit scary).
Bundle up, take a walk outside or tune in while wandering the corners of your home. Either way I can’t wait for you to hear these two inspiring women share their stories, learnings and gifts.

I am still feeling the energy from this amazing conversation with Michelle Boulé.
Taking the time to center, using movement to create change and reframing how we look at taking care of ourselves are just the tip of the iceberg on this conversation.

I am so excited to share this weeks episode of the Real Women in Business Podcast with Cass McCrory with Communications Strategist Janine MacLachlan.
If you've ever been in a meeting where you're encouraged to share ideas and you've heard this phrase "Oh, we did that before..." you will LOVE what Janine MacLachlan has to share.
In this episode, Janine helps us define what strategy is, the skills we need to develop to grow into our work in the future, where we struggle, and how we can foster cultures that welcome new ideas, in work and in life.

In this week's episode of the Real Women in Business - Podcast we're chatting with Jennifer Helle and it's one of my favorites!
In this episode, we dive into releasing expectations, creating space for things to unfold in untraditional ways, and embracing the unique journey that is your life at this moment.
There's a gift in not knowing what happens next: presence in this moment. I am so grateful to Jennifer for sharing her time, experience, and wisdom.

I love a good list and I'll be honest most of mine are of the to-do variety but my guest on the Real Women in Business - Podcast today has me making a completely new list!
said the phrase "Ta-Da List" and I was HOOKED. Celebrating wins - acknowledging where we're getting it right is hard work and the Ta-Da List delights the part of me that needed a little extra light and love this summer.

Best summer ever! Here’s one thing I know for sure: it is more likely to happen if we make the intention, claim what we desire and take action! Join me Friday May 31 at 12pm et. Sign up link in bio.
@abestnextstep is there for you. Your inaction is a choice too. I hate it. I wish we could just have a pause button alla Zach Morris to give us all the time we need to figure everything out perfectly. But we don’t. We only have imperfect action. So. What are you going to do?
You see what you seek. Deciding on an intention for the week is a wonderful way to seek what you truly desire.
This is where the magic happens 🪄 Spoiler alert - it happens where you are. So here’s my challenge. In the comments I want you to claim one area where you’d like to make forward progress and then see the other comments and suggestion a small tiny possible best next step action that could be taken. We’re all here on our own journeys but we are here together. YOU ARE HERE and THIS is where the magic happens.
