How do you remain consistent in your business when life gets hectic and you can’t keep up with everything?

We all go through seasons when life just gets too busy. The more I talk to other women in business, the more I realize how true that is. I have successfully created a business that can continue to thrive with consistency and efficiency when other demands on my attention take me away from it. In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, I’m sharing how I did it.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The number one thing that allows my business to function when I’m busy
• A real-life example of how to step away and show up at the same time
• The dirty secrets of the Leading Lady podcast

Tune in to learn how to be more consistent, save time on business tasks, and set up your business to survive anything.

How do your kids feel about the current crisis and being quarantined at home? What unique challenges do they face with distance learning and the absence of in-person interaction with their friends? As parents, sometimes it's easy to dismiss their frustrations as mundane and their worries as unrealistic.

To give us a unique perspective, I'm interviewing the other Leading Lady in my family, my daughter, Marissa Loftus. Marissa is a sophomore in high school and she is a ray of sunshine! We're going to talk about some of the changes that we've made and how we're adjusting to working and learning at home.

In Today’s Episode We Discuss:

• Marissa’s life before COVID-19 and her passion for sailing
• The pros and cons of distance learning
• The life of an extrovert while on quarantine
• Dealing with the pressure to be productive all the time
• Online interaction vs in-person interaction
• What Marissa looks forward to when the quarantine is lifted

Have you ever felt discouraged by dieting?

Many of us have been there. We are unhappy with the number on the scale so we start restricting and dieting in hopes that we will reach that magical number that will make us feel happy and worthy.

Diets detract from our health and wellbeing in a different way. Instead of being fully present and in the moment with our loved ones, we are in our heads worrying about our diet. There’s a lot of negativity and guilt that comes with that and it makes it hard to just enjoy your life.

In todays’ episode of Leading Lady, I sat down with Elizabeth Harris to talk more about the harmful aspects of dieting and the impact of intuitive eating.

Elizabeth Harris is a dietitian and Intuitive Eating counselor. She’s passionate about empowering women to find food and body peace with Intuitive Eating and body image healing.

By shifting the focus weight to wellbeing, Elizabeth helps women stop dieting and start living. Her motto is “self-care, not self-control.” Because food is meant to be enjoyed, movement should make you happy, and we’ve all got better things to do than count carbs!

Elizabeth holds a Master’s degree in nutrition from the University of Southern California. She loves to hike, garden, read, and travel the world—hitting every farmers’ market along the way.

Don’t accept the premise that weight equals health! That is all diet culture trying to tell you that you need to be a certain way but that’s not what’s important.

We all have difficult body image days, it's totally normal. It’s what you do with those days that’s important. Make sure to tune in to this episode to learn more about why dieting doesn’t work, why focusing on intuitive eating is biologically and psychologically healthier, the benefits of being weight-neutral, and so much more.

You don’t have to upend your life to make animal and environmentally-friendly choices.

Topics like climate change and deforestation can be really overwhelming to think about. After all, how much of a difference can one person really make? The truth is, we need everyone’s effort. Taking steps to be more environmentally friendly will make an impact. Every small action adds up to big changes.

In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, Crystal DiMiceli joined me to talk about how we can make a difference in our environment even with the tiniest of changes.

Crystal was that little girl who loved animals and brought home strays whenever her parents would allow it (that may still be her M.O.!). She was that teenager who watched a show about pollution and vowed to stop it when she grew up. But, she’s also that woman that loves to travel to far-off places on fossil fuel-guzzling airplanes while wearing leather shoes.

She may not be the perfect example of how to do eco- and animal-friendly 100% “right”, but she makes every effort possible. She does her research, makes conscious choices, and listens to both sides of the aisle. She wants to bring attention to the good things that are happening so that we can elevate and scale up these acts so that they, ideally, become the norm. She understands that nothing is black and white, there are many shades of grey. Although, she prefers to say many shades of green.

You don’t have to be perfect to be environmentally conscious. It all starts with one small change. We are so much more powerful than you may think, especially together. Make sure to tune in to learn how you can start making more environmentally conscious decisions in your life today.

What’s the secret to doing it all? Well, the secret is you can’t.

If you see someone who looks like they have it all together and they’re doing all the things, I promise you they have a support system behind them helping them get it all done.

I think it’s important for us to talk about this more so that we can break down the idea that you should be doing it all on your own. In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, I’m sharing some examples of things I have outsourced throughout my life so that I can feel successful as a businesswoman and in my personal life.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why support systems are so necessary
• Identifying where your time is best spent
• Examples of things you could outsource
• Finding and using resources that are available to you

Join me for a discussion about the value of outsourcing and how to find help.
