Unleashing YOUR Great Work

Julie Ellis, a co-founder of Mabel's labels and the author of Big Gorgeous Goals, has a unique perspective on success. When she and her co-founders sold Mabel’s Labels to Avery, she felt both proud of the accomplishment and sad about losing what they had enjoyed building. This is a very common but rarely discussed part of Great Work. 

So much of what we talk about focuses on getting started and overcoming hurdles, staying at it, and building toward success...

If you are anything like me, you have a LOT of Great ideas! They flow in while you walk the dog, take your shower, and drive to the grocery store. How do we know which of these ideas are worth pursuing and which of these ideas will be a distraction from what really matters? Tune in as I share my process for choosing the best ideas and moving them forward without feeling overwhelmed...

This interview with Mary Tess Rooney is the reminder that we all need that our joy and happiness matter at least as much as what other people expect of us. Mary Tess is the author of Heart Value, a book that helps us ensure we are making career and life decisions from the intersection of the value we offer the world that also lights us up. What Mary Tess describes as Heart Value is very close to what I call Great Work, which is why it was such an easy decision to invite her to the podcast...

In the United States, we have always lived with the history and realities of racism. Whether we have lived with it as an active part of our life or have had the privilege to ignore it and deny it, it has shaped our understanding of our country and each other. Since racism has always been a loaded, hot-button, triggering topic to discuss, many leaders have flatly avoided talking about it.

Listen in as she unpacks the programming creating this lack of satisfaction and gives us important clues about how to de-program ourselves...

On this episode of Unleashing YOUR Great Work, we are diving deep with Melissa Monte. Melissa is a mentor, speaker, and podcast host of “Mind Love”, where she helps people give their minds a little love (which we ALL need). Melissa believes that her Great Work comes from the evolution of someone she was mentally ignoring and subduing for years: herself...

Over the past five weeks, I have been submerged and immersed in a plethora of ways to rebuild my resilience in my Great Work...

Listen, my passion for Great Work (and the encouragement of ’ Great Work) is limitless beyond compare. Although, I will admit, taking a moment for oneself and stepping away from one’s Great Work is sometimes necessary. That could mean taking an hour to read a few chapters in a book, unwinding with a good television program, or even spending time with Mother Nature herself...
