In this episode, I'm reflecting on the storms—literal and metaphorical—that hit Asheville, and how they are shaping both me and my community. There's no sugarcoating it: resilience and courage aren’t about being invincible. They're about finding the strength to carry on, even when uncertainty clouds every step. And in this uncertainty, I’ve learned that trust doesn’t come easily. It’s built slowly, through vulnerability, reflection, and sometimes painful realizations about what truly matters. It’s okay not to have it all figured out. I sure don’t. But that’s where the beauty of growth comes in—messy, uncertain, and full of possibility. What's next? I'm not sure but thank you for being here with me.

*I totally meant SEPTEMBER not NOVEMBER. Shock brain...

An update after the whirlwind that was last week. This episode is a bit different but, I wanted to share my story of what it was like living in Asheville those first few days after Hurricane Helene decimated our town. I am amazed by the resilience of these people and how this community has come together to support each other during this time. This is a raw and real episode. Thank you for being here.

In this episode, we are taking a hard look at the cultural and psychological minefield of over apologizing.

From its roots in gender dynamics to its impact on self-worth and professional leadership, we dissect why constantly saying "sorry" can erode confidence and credibility.

Whether you’re in a personal or organizational culture, learn how to master meaningful apologies that foster trust and accountability instead of resentment. Tune in for how to make your "sorry" matter—because half-hearted apologies are worse than none at all!
