30:35

9d ago50:48

50:48

You feel the pressure to excel and exceed and yet you don’t feel connection or support. You start to feel isolated and want to give up. Where do you turn? How do you bring out the best in yourself?

The Treasure Under the Bed 28:49

16d ago28:49

28:49

Negative emotions in our culture are something to be “fixed” and are usually pushed away, blocked or ignored - shoved under the bed of our lives. Just because we've blocked or ignored something doesn't mean that it's gone away, which is essential for leaders to understand. All those things that are pushed aside still take up time and energy, and th…

23:06

You’re pedaling away in your business and a car goes by at top speed, you pedal faster not knowing how to switch vehicles. Like does attract like, so your life of pedaling attracts more of the same, gurus teaching how to pedal more efficiently, partners, employees and friends, all working hard and pedaling away. All this work means you are not in t…

Purpose and a Paycheck w/Trina Clarke 36:51

2M ago36:51

36:51

“My mindset has always been, we have a finite amount of time on this earth. And I don't want to get to the point where I look back and feel like I've wasted my entire career time, doing something that didn't make me happy, or didn't make me fulfilled, or for me, didn't make me feel like I was impacting my community in a positive way.” ~ Trina Clark…

Own Your Flow: Break Out of The Box 31:47

2M ago31:47

31:47

Do the right things, hold the right job, make the right amount of money, be self-reliant - this is how we get accepted, be lovable. Stay in the box, or you get shamed. This is the narrative of our culture. We are immersed in it and don’t even realize how much it runs our lives. Today, Stephanie and Maren share a few of the ways they are transcendin…

14:24

Season Two of the Soulful Leader Podcast has officially begun! Season One spanned 144 podcasts - one podcast every week for almost 3 years.

Soulful leaders have a deep-seated…

Stuck? Elevate Your View & Step into Flow 21:34

4M ago21:34

21:34

Do you wake up to a to-do list already waiting for you? Do you ever feel stuck in the life you’ve created? It’s possible that you are not in flow. One of the quickest ways to step into flow is by starting to live questions instead of answers. This seems counter-intuitive. It’s not. As a child you knew this - your natural state was asking questions …

Finding Your Flow- Steel Energy 14:04

4M ago14:04

14:04

Did you know that asking the question ‘how?’ can be dangerous? It’s probably the most common question we ask, especially as leaders, and it can destroy the very things we seek to create. How will he get that done? How do we find more clients? How will I make 7 figures? All great questions, and it’s essential they are asked in the right timing. When…

Finding Your Flow- Tempo Energy 13:23

4M ago13:23

13:23

You are MORE than you believe. We know it. You don’t realize how much of your self image is based on conditioning, based on your past. There are BRILLIANT aspects of you that you’ve squashed and put aside, because you were conditioned to fit in, you were told you were ‘too much’. It’s time to retrieve those parts and step into your shiny, amazing, …

Feeling Stuck? Lead from Your Future Self 27:09

5M ago27:09

27:09

Is your future filled with infinite possibilities? Or are you creating a future based on your past? What is the difference, and how can you know? So often we have an ideal, a vision of how our lives could be, and we wake each morning into the hamster wheel that is our lives. No space for that big goal we set at the beginning of January, no time to …

Beyond Resolutions: Breaking the Blame-Shame Game 23:56

5M ago23:56

23:56

This time of year feels like a fresh start, a reset, an opportunity to recreate ourselves, and then we hit a wall, make a mistake or get side swiped by life and everything slows down (or comes to a screeching halt). We start doubting ourselves, shaming ourselves and blaming ourselves, our situations and others., As with all things, there is another…

Planning with Your Inner GPS 27:40

5M ago27:40

27:40

What is a plan? A way to make God laugh? A way to ensure you won’t fail? We have so many contradictory thoughts (and sayings) about planning it makes us wonder, is it important? And is it possible to create a plan that doesn’t come from a figuring, forcing, or fixing place? This is the rich, and timely topic that Stephanie and Maren discuss in toda…

The Magic of Integral Goal Setting 20:39

6M ago20:39

20:39

Goal setting is top of mind for everyone right now. Are you inspired or a bit jaded? What if you could do it differently? Integrating (verb): To make into a whole by bringing all parts together; unify. Goals have traditionally been about achieving something 'out there'", something separate from us. The catch is that whatever we're seeking 'out ther…

Perception: Your Path to Getting Unstuck 32:26

6M ago32:26

32:26

What if you could be done with dramas of misunderstandings? What if you could make your invisible filters visible? Perception shapes your entire world, from how happy you are to how much you feel valued to what job you have. That may seem like an extreme, and it’s true. And the thing about perception is that it’s SO EASY to believe that everyone ex…

Harmony Amidst the Hustle: Unwrapping Inner Peace 21:09

6M ago21:09

21:09

This is quite possibly the busiest time of the year. So much to get done. All the end of year wrap up coupled with the frenzy of buying gifts, preparing for guests and doing all the ‘stuff’. Yet, in nature everything has gone still, gone inward. This sets up an automatic stress on our systems. We're a part of nature and feel called to take time and…

The Perfection Paradox: Constriction vs. Flow 31:57

7M ago31:57

31:57

Are there advantages and disadvantages of having a perfectionistic outlook on life? On yourself? Stephanie and Maren argue both sides of this charged subject and share their unique insights on the lower vibration and the higher vibration of perfectionism. In the lower energy of perfectionism we’re constricted, like ice (the lower vibration of water…

That Challenge is Your Opportunity 20:00

7M ago20:00

20:00

As leaders, we're confronted by challenges on a daily basis. We're also looking for opportunities. What if the very opportunity you seek is seeking for you, and it’s showing up as a challenge in your life? This is not how we’re taught to look at problems and challenges. We're taught to avoid them, stuff them, ignore them, plow through them or overc…

Beyond Imposter Syndrome 25:11

7M ago25:11

25:11

We are so quick to judge based on the surface, the external. We’re trained to choose jobs, houses and even our mates based on those surface, external metrics. It’s left us feeling isolated, as if we are not enough and needing to always do more. It’s taken a massive toll on us, both as individuals, and as a culture. In today’s episode, Stephanie and…

End the Forcing, Fixing and Figuring - Step into Radical Flow 26:48

What if you never had to force, f…

Serendipity, The Lost Art of Discovery 24:19

8M ago24:19

24:19

We think of serendipity as luck, chance,and things just happening by accident. It’s not. Serendipity is actually an art, it’s the art of being such a good detective that you can predict what is coming, the future before it’s happened, and be prepared. In this week's podcast, Stephanie and Maren talk about this lost art and how to start developing t…

Your Soul Is Calling, Are You Too Busy 31:16

8M ago31:16

31:16

You wake up with a laundry list of things to get done, grab a cup of coffee and jump in. There’s no space to ask the BIG questions like, ‘is this what I’m on this planet to accomplish?’ or ‘Is this why I’m here?’ You’ve just got to get through the day. What if we keep ourselves busy and distracted so that we feel important and don’t have to go any …

Questioning Control, Life Beyond the Reins 32:24

8M ago32:24

32:24

Control, where does it fit into our lives? Does it serve us? Or is it holding us back? In this week’s podcast, Maren and Stephanie have an open conversation about control that will have you looking more deeply at these questions in your own life. We’re taught that control is the answer to all of our problems. If we could just get control over our l…

Stop Reacting, Own Your Zen 29:02

8M ago29:02

29:02

A reaction triggers a reaction, which triggers another, and another. As leaders, this can turn into an out of control snowball. How do you get it under control? Even better, how do you keep it from happening in the first place. Problems, attacks and blow ups often end with blaming, shaming and an adrenaline fueled internal running commentary. All t…

Procrastination: The Hidden Gem 27:47

8M ago27:47

27:47

“If I'm still for a moment, I'm procrastinating - and I feel guilty.” How often have you thought that? Our culture worships ‘doing’ and ‘being busy’. There are volumes and volumes of books, blogs, vlogs and more on how to beat procrastination. You can’t turn around without bumping into one. What if they, all those talking heads, aren’t quite right?…

Beginner’s Mind: The Path of Mastery (Challenging Old Leadership Beliefs) 27:35

9M ago27:35

27:35

Leadership = have all the answers and prove yourself over and over. Why is this old thought process still SO pervasive??? It’s not only backwards, it’s outright damaging - to everyone involved. It keeps us stuck and eliminates all possibility. It’s 100% tied to the ego and excludes all the latest, amazing research on what great leaders REALLY do or…

Our Process: An Ongoing Co-Creation 36:42

9M ago36:42

36:42

There’s a formula for how things are done. At least that’s what we’re told, what we believe. If we just learn, and follow, the ‘right’ formula, we’ll be successful. So we try. We spend our time and money on the next quick fix, the next sure-fire thing, the next “10 steps to…”. As leaders, this is exponentially true for us because we’re expected to …

Burdens to Blessings 23:08

9M ago23:08

23:08

We’re not meant to do it all. Yet society tells us the opposite. Throughout school we’re expected to do well in all subjects and to work harder where we are weak. At work, the expectation is the same - be good at all aspects, dig in where we’re weak. This training has created a siloed and separated society where asking for help feels, at best, tabo…

All-In AND Completely Detached 26:35

10M ago26:35

26:35

As leaders we’re expected to be “all-in”, that’s the minimum, so what does that mean in today’s culture and what about the cost(s)? Based on quiet quitting and the proliferation of help wanted signs, the business pendulum seems to be swinging in the opposite direction. Is there a middle road, one where ‘all-in’ isn’t a recipe for burnout and illnes…

Using Complaining as Opportunity 30:51

10M ago30:51

30:51

We all do it. It happens in our heads, it happens at work, it happens at home. Most of the time we don’t even notice we’re doing it. Is it hardwired into us? It’s not something we WANT to do, especially as leaders, yet it’s pervasive. What if it was actually an ‘opportunity’ sticking its head up? Stephanie and Maren start this enlightening conversa…

When Life Goes Sideways 28:15

28:15

Have you ever had one of those days, or even weeks where everything goes sideways? You have a plan, you are working your plan and someone drops a ball - the babysitter is late, the meeting gets pushed back, or your account gets hacked. Your carefully laid plan is in the trash and most often drama ensues. What happens next is up to you, yet so often…

Hustle Culture: The Never Ending Consumption Binge 30:20

10M ago30:20

30:20

Our ‘more is never enough’ culture has taken its toll. Personally we are in debt, worn out, overworked and mentally and physically ill. As a culture, ‘quiet quitting’ is rampant, businesses are closing and people are more and more disconnected and polarized. This is the cost, the backlash, to the rampant ‘more more more’, ‘push push push’ that has …

Intentional Leadership: Shaping Future Generations w/Barbara Miller (& Zeffy) 35:44

11M ago35:44

35:44

How do you balance opposites? Especially as a leader. A challenge comes up and it gets polarized. It becomes one of two things, 'push through', or ‘it’s not meant to be’. How do we find the ‘in-between’? Barbara Miller walks that path both personally and as a leader. She holds a fierce intention and shows up very gently, with curiosity and space. I…

'Being the Change' as a Leader 30:06

11M ago30:06

30:06

We want something to happen “out there”, in the world. We want to change another, we want to change our circumstances (partner, job, finances, etc.), so we get busy DOING - fixing, forcing and making something happen in the world - and it rarely works and often creates more stress for everyone involved. There is an alternative and it’s encapsulated…

Trust and Flow 23:41

11M ago23:41

23:41

We’ve all had those moments in our lives when everything feels ‘right’, we are totally engrossed in what we are doing and completely in sync with life - it’s magical. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls this the flow state, the optimal experience in life. Our challenge is two fold. One, how do we create this state of flow ‘at will’ instead of stumbling a…

Leadership that Blooms: Nature’s Metaphor 31:13

11M ago31:13

31:13

We all want to be accepted, to be included and to feel safe. We most often find that security and belonging with people who are like us. It’s where we’re comfortable and it’s easy to be ourselves. The challenge, especially for leaders, is that this creates a ‘monoculture’, and it comes at a cost. Creating a world of people who are like ‘me’ means w…

Redefining Resiliency 24:57

12M ago24:57

24:57

Resiliency is a buzzword. It’s everywhere these days - all of it focused on conquering obstacles and getting back up - all so that we, as leaders, can get back to business as usual and stay on track. What if it’s not about getting back to business as usual? What if true resilience is embracing and moving through our challenges so that we emerge a d…

Shadow in Leadership 25:43

12M ago25:43

25:43

What is “shadow” in leadership and why is it important? Anything that we don’t embrace, anything we shove into the corners of our minds and our lives, becomes our shadow. So the shadow part of leadership is really the shadow in ourselves, because when we don't look inside, we put it outside on the people around us. That’s the what. Why it’s importa…

Beyond Manifesting - the Real Power of Inner Leadership 20:28

12M ago20:28

20:28

“My whole life looks pretty dang good. Why do I still feel like shit?” Have you ever felt like that? What if the answer was not about manifesting MORE in your life? Achieving "next". What if we are given our dreams, our desires and our wants so that we keep diving deeper and deeper and deeper and start to awaken? What if there’s that one thing in y…

Is Control Killing Your Flow? 31:53

1y ago31:53

31:53

The opposite of control is not chaos, it’s actually flow. How backwards we have it. We’re taught that control is the ideal. ‘Be rational’, ‘don't bring your emotions to work’, ‘control yourself’. And it’s one of the biggest lies we’ve been fed. Control is a closed system and kills both creativity and flow. As a culture, we're actually experiencing …

“It becomes a co-creation instead of a manipulation.” ~Stephanie Allen Imagine a world in which everyone is empowered and co-creating. This is Soulful Leadership, and it’s what we stand for.

WOW! This is the beginning of the third year of the Soulful Leader Podcast. It seems like we started yesterday, and yet we’ve both changed SO much.

Too often a…
