Her Leadership Coach Rochelle Marie | Founder, Her Leadership Way

"This focus on externals means our happiness and sense of value are always dependent on things outside our control." ~ Rochelle Marie

In today's episode of "Her Leadership Coach," we dive deep into the second face of disempowerment: Lack.

Last week, we unpacked the crippling effects of shame. Today, we explore how operating from a sense of lack impacts our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Joined by insights from Buddhist scholar David Loy and one of my mentors Dr. Claire Zammit, we discuss the unsettling feelings of instability, emptiness, and reliance on external validation that stem from lack.

And of course we dive into practical steps on how we can move towards a state of fulfillment and stability.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Understanding the feeling of being ungrounded and how it contributes to a sense of lack. The deeper sense of emptiness that goes beyond material needs. The dangers of basing self-worth and fulfillment on external factors. Practical strategies to ground yourself, fill the emptiness, and shift focus from external to internal drivers.

 "You are really important in your own life story; you're the most important person in your own life story." - Geraldine Sloane

This week is a throwback to an interview Rochelle had on a previous podcast on which she was the host -  50 by 50 but relevant to the theme lately around over-working.

In this episode of the Her Leadership Coach podcast, Rochelle talks with Geraldine Sloan about the challenges of overwork and finding work-life balance. Geraldine opens up about her journey as a single parent of three, working tirelessly without realising she had other choices. They explore the importance of prioritizing personal well-being and living a fulfilling life beyond career success. Geraldine shares her daily practices for intentionality, such as morning pages and meditation, and her excitement for the future. The episode is a heartfelt discussion on self-care, empowerment, and embracing life's possibilities, inviting listeners to reflect on their own paths.
