Loud Minds

If you're looking to strengthen your relationship with your body and build agency in intimacy, I'd love to partner with you.

Last week, I facilitated a retreat for Beacon Health System, Elkhart General Hospital's (EGH) nursing leadership team led by Candace Andresen. We spent the day deliberating and creating: 1?? A new draft Vision for EGH Nursing 2?? The kind of Culture they want to create by proactively solving for daily dilemmas of their teams 3?? Components of Trust and methods to build trust 4?? Better methods to make and communicate Decisions Thank you all for your active engagement and commitment to lean into all of the above in 2025 for their patients and community!??

Are you feeling STUCK rather than SMASHING your New Year’s goals? Emily Nagoski, PhD, highlights (in her book Burnout) that it's NORMAL to be STUCK if you haven't completed the stress cycle related to prior stresses. Emily introduces a fresh idea found in a remarkable branch of research on body-based therapies. These therapies will remarkably help your stress leave your body. I highly recommend this book to get yourself pulled back together and ready to SMASH 2025! If you've read this book, did it help you?

I have another new Loud Minds service launching very soon... Do you have any guesses on what it may be???

Are you unhappy with your professional life? Make it a priority this year to take full advantage of all the exciting opportunities you can do in your personal life. Doubling down on your personal life will help you feel better about your work situation.

This is an executive mindset.??

When you take PTO this year, make it a resolution to shut down all professional communication platforms until you return. Far too many professionals continue to "work" when they should be resting and recharging. Just a friendly reminder!??

Have you ever asked your employer if they invest in professional development? If your answer is "no," I challenge you to ask the question. Organizations want to retain team members, and part of retaining is investing. Investing in a coach is investing in the outcome. See if your organization will invest in a coach to help you reach your goals in 2025. I'm happy to talk through this with you. Contact me at https://lnkd.in/geRKaw4v.

There's a difference between "spending" and "investing" your time. Spending means your using something up and not getting anything in return. Investing means your engaging in things that bring you rewards. Have you ever looked at what you're doing, personally and professionally, as an investment? I challenge you to do so, especially in the New Year. The first step is to set goals. Once those are set, you'll be able to decide the best investments worth your time.

In episode 90 of Instigating Women + Friends, I share how and why I decided to become an intimacy and sexual health coach. You may be surprised to hear my answer!??
