Do you feel it?  The palpable shifting of our society, our energy, our truth-telling, our growing compassion and caring for one another? Maybe it takes huge change to allow us to deepen into our truth.  To feel ready to speak up.  Speak out. And, I'll be moving my show over to Spreaker as the host as well as SoundCloud for available listening.  We'll also be searchable on iTunes if you like to subscribe there.  And the new name?  No great shock there.  Authentic Leadership is what I do.  Who I am.  And the names of my new businesses, Authentic Leadership Consulting and Authentic Leadership Academy.  Listen in for a brief farewell, then the full message that was pre-recorded for you last week whle at the beach in Manly, Australis is ready for you and following. All the best in this new year...a year of new beginnings and MUCH movement, growth and expansion.  It's been a long time since all our planetary beings have supported us by turning direct!  As Elizabeth Gilbert says, "Onward!"     00:05:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,AuthenticLeadership,AuthenticLeadershipAcademy,NewBeginningsIt's a new year and a new name and we're moving to a new host site...http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/12/14/authentic-leadership--time-for-braveryWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/12/14/authentic-leadership--time-for-bravery/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/12/14/authentic-leadership--time-for-braveryWed, 14 Dec 2016 18:00:00 GMTAuthentic Leadership - Time for BraveryIt is never too late for Bravery says Margaret Wheatley.  To stand, To speak up, To not let the overwhelm take hold. I've been laying low, cancelling events, filling my days with lots of introspection AND lots of diversions and distractions.  There's something being called forward within me, within the collective, and I've been pretending not to hear it.  It's about depression.  It's about feeling everything.  It's about slowing down to actually DEAL with it all. This year is an exceptional one as well.  It's had it's ups and downs, (RIGHT?) and also I've been blessed with the time and resources to lay low, riding the waves, reading the tea leaves, and watching lots of Netflix. That time is coming to an end, in a fantastic and glorious way, as I prepare for my trip on the shortest day here in North America to the longest day in South America.  Flying on the Solstice, my 60th birthday. So, what is in store?  A lot and maybe not so much.  I'm being open to the fullness of this gift of a time away from my home, the winter temps and my push to find clarity on that is coming in 2017.  And, my next steps in crossing that threshold. And - honoring this time of pulling back, sleeping in once or twice this week, going to bed early, eating popcorn for dinner and listening to the sounds of silence.  Preparing for putting on my mantle, pulling on my boots and walking forward...into The Great Adventure of the Unknown. 2017. This will be my last live broadcast of the year, but I will be uploading some thoughts and musings from my delicious time on Manly Beach north of Sydney.  Stay tuned on FB or find me on SoundCloud to catch the recordings. See you on the other side! 00:25:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,WomensLeadershipCatalyst,AuthenticLife,AuthenticLeadershipAcademyIt is never too late for Bravery says Margaret Wheatley.

It's been said, "Nature abhors a vacuum"...and many of us do too.  Notice how uncomfortable it is when the conversation dies down or the movie score goes silent? Even the space between my upper and lower teeth is, too often, closed up, clenched, not allowed to be open, slack.  And, now I have a hairline crack in one of my teeth to show that my unconscious, while I'm sleeping, is constricted, not relaxed, holding onto pent-up energy.  How can we open to allow ourselves to grow, expand and step into new realms of Love, Joy, Good, Magic, Prosperity?  Into our next phase of Be-Coming?  I believe one step is to Create Space.  Just like we clean our homes before inviting friends over, or do spring cleaning (an ancient practice to welcome in the new being birthed at that time of year) we prepare for the new that is coming in, by relaxing, letting go, clearing space (yes, like in Feng Shui) and releasing old patterns to energetically, emotionally, physically and mentally, roll out the red carpet. Let's see what shows up by doing our end-of-the-year clearing and releasing.  00:23:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,AuthenticLeadershipAcademy,AuthenticLeadership,WomenLeadersNature abhors a vacuum...and many of us do too.

First the stoic, "I can handle it."  Then, affirmations of "I can do this!"  "You are stronger than the obstacles!"  "Keep moving!" Until finally, letting go.  Letting God.  Letting it all out.  The Grief.  Anguish.  Acceptance of Failure.  Acknowledgement of Where. I. Am.  Lost enough to see that I've been ignoring the signs.  I KNOW these signs.  My body's signals, my soul's song, my heart's cries.  And, I've only been listening to the louder Ego.  My mind's Critical voice drowned out the others.  And I didn't stop to listen for them either.  I believed the loud noise.  Or turned it off by distractions, Netflix, cooking, cleaning, caring for others.  Well, last night, exhausted, I gave in.  Surrendered literally, spiritually, emotionally.  I'll tell you about it, (not in all the gory details, but enough so you get the picture) and also how the prayers were answered with miracles of music, inspiration and a lighter state of Being showed up for me this morning.  All is well.  Truly, when I allow it to be, All is well. 00:24:00Deborah LeeAnnnoSometimes it's just all we can do, just let go, retreat, fall into total surrender.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/11/23/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authentic-gratitudeWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/11/23/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authentic-gratitude/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/11/23/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authentic-gratitudeWed, 23 Nov 2016 14:30:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Authentic GratitudeThank you. Thank you for being here.  For reading this. For listening in.  Showing up. For your friendship, kindness, connection, referral, support, sharing.  For Being You. And I truly mean it.  Between Thank You and I'm Sorry - How can we express ourselves more clearly?  More authentically, more real, more true. We are in a world where we wear our busyness, our social media connections, our use of technology, like a badge of honor.  I'm taking the day off.  To play, bake, prepare for family feasts and just to be still.  Loving Self, my daughters, whoever shows up today and tomorrow at my home or at my parents.  No matter who they voted for.  No matter their differing views. This week is full of events.  Yet for me it is simple, it's about being in Gratitude.  Join in, take a few minutes to be still, drink tea, or wine, or eggnog or cider.  Really taste it.  Let the pleasure radiate from within for this moment. And, from the bottom of my heart (and my BEing) sending you Grateful Blessings for an Abundant and Pleasure-filled holiday!     00:19:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,Women Leaders,Gratitude,AuthenticGratitude,ThanksBetween Thank You and I'm Sorry - How can we express ourselves more clearly?

(it's at these times that I tend to clean or do laundry, or sort the junk drawer...) In a matter of a few hours, I get to have an important phone call that could result in speaking at a conference AND a video shoot of a speech in front of a live audience, to promote a women's conference. Am I prepared?  How much is too much prep?  Not counting creating this podcast.  I KNOW this stuff.  This is my purpose to share my message on Authenticity and it's importance in leading for change.  We can't create change without changing ourselves...see there I go.  I am ready to teach this.  Or, should I change the story?  The punch line?  The exercise I'm going to faciltate to create an experiential learning? Back and forth.  Heeding my Inner Wise Woman.  Listening to my Inner Child's fears.  My mind's critical commentary and my heart's excitement and expansion.  It's a lot!  Who wins? Over and over, I hear professional women share that they feel they need to:  Wear a mask, hide, pretend to feel confident, play a role to fulfill other's expections, have to be 2 or 3 different people depending on what they are doing and who they are with.  Isn't that exhausting?  Where do we get to BE ourselves? Who knocks you off center (and out of your Authenticity)?  Is it more at work?  At home?  With family and friends?  Is it a big opportunity?  And how do you handle the stress of these situations?  Do you have any practices or prayers that center you? Let's dive in, Sisters.  This is work we all need to do.  00:22:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,WomensLeadership,WomensLeadershipCatalyst,AuthenticLeadershipAcademyWearing masks, hiding, pretending, playing a role, having to be 2 different people...http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/11/09/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authentic-inquiry-to-heal-learn-growWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/11/09/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authentic-inquiry-to-heal-learn-grow/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/11/09/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authentic-inquiry-to-heal-learn-growWed, 09 Nov 2016 20:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Authentic Inquiry: To Heal, Learn, GrowI'm sad.  I'm not ready to be a brilliant example of empowerment today.  I need to grieve.  Heal. Then Heal. Learn.  Grow.  Then Act.  Be The Change. First comes a place of Being Still.  Asking and listening.  Allowing and listening.  Letting what comes up, show up.  Listening more.  Asking more.  No matter who you voted for, to see the popular vote be at 47.5, and 47.7 with 98.8 reported, it means there are a lot of people -- HALF the US-  is unhappy.  And not just a little unhappy. Devastated.  Confused.  Wondering what will happen.  And no matter who won this would be the case. We are divided, literally, and polarized on so many views.  How do we come together? Appreciative Inquiry.  Asking.  Not telling.  Learning.  Listening.  Loving. Let's see where this goes and take an inner journey to Be in Inquiry.  Authenticity begins here.  Love does too. 00:27:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#DeborahLeeAnn,#WomensLeadershipCatalyst,#SpiritOfLeadership,#AuthenticLeadershipI'm not ready to be a brilliant example of empowerment today.

An example is, you want to be a public speaker.  You have a great story to tell, wisdom to share, and it's part of the bigger plan for your life.  Yet...it terrifies you to be on stage.  The thought of hearing your voice amplified.  The fear of looking incompetent, silly, or stupid can keep you from doing what you know you need to and want to. This is an example of letting all of your mind, heart, body and soul may not be in alignment.  Leadership is the same.  We bring our full selves to this role each day: leading intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The Spirit of Leadership brings all of this together in a way that honors all of our parts/selves just as it honors the diverse team or community we lead.  This is a deep and wide theme for our November podcasts ...let's get started in it today and see where we go!

Do you ever feel diminished by another's success?  Or feel a contraction when you see someone else doing the same thing (or a bit similar even or especially superior) to your business or program offering? For so long, we have been pitted against each other, for beauty, yes, but even for brains, for roles in organizations or plays, for being the best ______________.  (you fill in the blank, is it Mother?  CFO?  Community Organizer?  Philanthropist?  Athlete?  Scholar?) This is probably why concepts of CrossFit where you only compete with yourself while receiving support in a community is so popular.  It's becoming very common to see collaborations between different consultants and coaches and trainers as they can offer a blend of their work to appeal to a wider audience (or the same audience on a deeper level).  We all get more when we combine our talents and gifts with another to create synergy.  And celebrate each other's talents and gifts. Yet, with all the work and knowledge I have on collaborating versus competition, why do I still feel that cringe or punch in the gut when someone else is doing what I do, offering a workshop or program that sounds like mine or publishing the book I've got in my head? It's all good.  There's a way to calm yourself (and mySelf) down and laught at it all. It's the topic for today.  Tune in and give it a listen.  If it speaks to you, I'd love to hear your feedback.  If someone comes to mind that might like to hear it, please share. Thanks for doing what you do.  There really is only one of you...own that and trust it. 00:29:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#DeborahLeeAnn,#AuthenticLeadershipAcademy,#Authenticity,#WomenLeadersWhat is it about women competing with each other?

It's taken all my life to build it and perfect it and refine it to fit me perfectly. Protection, as an unconscious behavior, is unfortunately, a necessary one at times.  We women don't feel safe.  Most of the time.  When we do, our truest, most Authentic Self comes out to play. You know, those weekend mornings after a great night of sleep (and maybe more!) creates the space for us to "let down our hair?"  Free from masks, protective barriers, constriction of busy schedules and a prerequisite role to fulfill? I love those mornings...dancing, singing to myself, making and enjoying a leisurely breakfast and cup of tea/coffee...piddling around, cleaning up, digging in the garden.  And, the most amazing stuff comes through then.  What if we create our most brilliant messaging, our most unique offering to the world, our most inspirational writing from this place? This morning, while at an event for fellow entrepreneurs and experts, the messages were true, hit home, were delivered with heart and I got to "see" the person in a new light.  The stuff between our ears, the inner dialogue dominated by a loud Inner Critic, drowns out our Authentic Self.  We hear more often the voice telling us to "Be careful,"  "Don't say that! They'll think you're weird", or "don't know your stuff, or _________" (fill in the blank for yourself.)   What if, our most real, Authentic Self got a chance to speak?  Can we even Hear Her? Let's play in the space where our Authentic Self speaks today.  Yes, I know, it's not the weekend, but we can pretend, right?  00:26:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#AuthenticLeadership,#AuthenticSelf,#DeborahLeeAnn,#WomensLeadershipProtection, it's an unconscious behavior, and unfortunately, a necessary one at times.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/10/12/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authenticity-no-hidingWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/10/12/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authenticity-no-hiding/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/10/12/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authenticity-no-hidingWed, 12 Oct 2016 18:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Authenticity = No Hiding!I've been hiding.  Even with being online, recording a podcast, and doing live interviews with exceptional women leaders. And, it used to serve me but not so much anymore. You see, Hiding is not only being a wallflower (or a lurker) or making safe statements so your voice gets lost in the "noise," it's not takingany risks. It's not showing up.  Not being Real, Not telling the truth...my truth. Why do we strive so hard to fit in?  To not "rock the boat" or to be afraid to speak what's really going on? Remember the children's tale of The Emperor's New Clothes?  In it, the Emperor was tricked into believing he was wearing clothes made of an invisible cloth only able to be seen by those who were smart and fit for their position.  How often do we see the truth of something or know the answer to a problem or have a great idea to share, yet hold back...fearing speaking up and speaking out?  It's time, my lovely listeners.  We are needed to speak up.  Be Seen, Heard, Valued.  But only from our Authentic, Grace-filled Truth.   00:29:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#WomenLeaders,#AuthenticLeadershipAcademy,#Authenticity,#NoMoreHidingI've been hiding.

We have been trained and molded into being such "Good Girls." And, isn't it interesting that the girls who are making waves in our community, nation and world, are anything but Good? They are not afraid to speak up.  Speak out.  Wear different clothes, or different hairstyles.  They SHOW UP, in a way that can not be denied.  And, sometimes we are in awe.  Or envious.  But we can't ignore them they are creating wakes wherever they go.  And, a part of us yearns for a wider reach, or bigger scope of influence.  Yet, are we prepared to move outside of the Comfort Zone?  To create a bigger version of ourselves by sharing a bigger vision, a controversial view, or an unconventional solution to an issue? I've been responding to everyone else's requests of me for a long time.  Now that Motherhood, Partnership and Corporate employment are not defining me, who am I?  The more I deepen in, listening and allowing my truth to come forward, the more I am falling deeper into Love, Self-Acceptance and an IMPLICIT Trust of who I am and what my purpose is.  It's like a gut-rehab of an old house...and seeing the beautiful results that are emerging is So. Very. Exciting. Let's dive in, deepen in, open up and discover with some practices you can use too, to get more clear on who you are in these ever-increasing times of Volatility, Uncertainty, Chaos and Ambiguity.  There's Beauty, Authenticity and Grace on the other side.  All components that feed our Authentic Life and Authentic Leadership. 00:27:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#DeborahLeeAnn,#AuthenticLeadershipAcademy,#AuthenticLife,#OpeningWhere are you hiding?

Slowing down to actually feel what's going on?  We tend to gloss over things, skim over reading, scan emails, barely noticing the glow of other beings, the radiance in nature, the taste of our food, the feel of the material on our bodies...even the solidness of the ground beneath us. And we wonder why we are always wanting for something more. There's this itch to get away on vacation.  Run away to experience something other than our Life. My musings this morning brought up another concept.  The beauty of my life RIGHT NOW.  Yep, it's amazing, when I sit in meditation or with a cup of tea, or just stare out the window and breathe, how I realize how absolutely perfect my ife is in this moment.  If we have all these sensations as Human Be-ings, why don't we enjoy them?  Feel deeply, sense often, bask in the sun or wind on our face, or the water streaming over us in the shower.  While having a facial yesterday I was almost in tears at the decadence of the sensations.  Even during an acupuncture session on Monday, where I was to lie still for an hour, brought to mind how glorious it is being the steward of this body.  Even when there's pain.  It's my body's language asking me to pay attention.  Which brings about the steps to healing.  Which brings us full circle to our Essence.  Joy. Joy, let's savor it.  And anything else that we're feeling, get ourSelves immersed in it.  It all leads us back to Joy. 00:27:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#DeborahLeeAnn,#SavoringSeptember,#AuthenticLeadershipAcademy,#AuthenticLifeMindfullness is a practice yes, can we make it a lifestyle?

We are trained early to see beauty, especially in women, as being small, young, sweet, sexy and similar.  Similar?  Yes, to what we know, what we are comfortable with.  What we've grown up seeing or being told is beautiful.  Each culture has its own Beauty standards.  So, finding something (or being someone) other that what we were trained to believe is "beautiful", makes us feel different from our family, friends, society...Think about all the "beautiful people" on the covers of magazines, on Facebook or Instagram feeds, or TV. So, how can we feel Beautiful?  Truly in love with our looks as well as our Shining Hearts & Souls?  AND, be Unique.  Standing out in our Brilliance?  Authentic Beauty is standing in our Fullness, our Wholeness, in our Powerful Body, while unapologetically sharing our intellectual and intuitive creative selves with the world.  It's knowing, deep down, that we are Enough.  Perfectly imperfect and gorgeous, just by BE-ing Real.  It's caring so much for our inner and outer self that our Radiance glows...we are vibrant, magnetic, attractive and fully Sovereign.  We don't need anyone else or anything else to make us Whole. Let's dive in.  This is a big one for many of us Women.  And, an important part of becoming an Authentic Leader, A Woman of Presence, A Woman of Substance.

How do you savor?  The definitions that resonated with me were: 1. To taste or smell, especially with pleasure: savored each morsel of the feast. 2. To appreciate fully; enjoy or relish: Savoring feels appropriate for this lovely month as the weather is perfect, the food is plentiful, the days are a bit shorter and we head into the final months of the year. Slowing down is not what I used to do in September.  The calendar is full, the days flying by as we head towards the holidays and end of the year. Yet, even though I'm not heading back to school, and my daughters are away with less activities requiring my presence, the pressure to move faster and to get a lot done is palpable! How about you? Are you pushing to get all of your To-Do's, Commitments, Goals and Planning completed in your personal or professional life?  ( I get it, as my year will end even sooner since I'm taking off the final 2 weeks of the year for vacation and play...) Let's see what arises as we s l o w down...retreat if you will, take a look around, and savor these days.  I'm guessing it will be worth every effort to rearrange some things off the calendar and take time to recharge! Need help with clearing your calendar?  To give yourself permission to Slow Down and Savor???

How about being Authentic and True AND being at our most Radiant, Brilliant and Creative? Our AMAZING Self? A challenge I was handed recently while attending Authentic Speakers Academy (sound familiar?) was to "Show Everyone How AMAZING I am."  Yikes! The other challenges I agreed to were not easy, but seemed do-able, for me.  This one?  Not. So. Much. Especially as my topic was Authenticity.  I'll share this story and let's play with this topic more.  AND, add it to our #ArtOfReceivingChallenge.  Are you in???? 00:27:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#DeborahLeeAnn,#WomensLeadership,#TheInnerGame,#WomanLeadershipAdvantageAuthenticity doesn't have to feel so human, messy and scary, does it?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/08/31/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authenticity-in-asking-for-what-we-want-then-receivingWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/08/31/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authenticity-in-asking-for-what-we-want-then-receiving/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/08/31/wednesday-wisdom-radio-authenticity-in-asking-for-what-we-want-then-receivingWed, 31 Aug 2016 20:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Authenticity in Asking for What We Want, Then RECEIVINGIt's the buzz now...all the rage.  Authentic This, Authentic That.  I get it.  And, maybe because we're tired of the IN-Authenticity of our culture.  Our politics.  Our own life, perhaps? When looking at how to announce the new program/offering #AuthenticLeadershipAcademy, I had problems finding the new URL I wanted.  There's even a new coaching program for Authentic Leadership being offered somewhere.  The constant course correction to stay in Authenticty is based in Awareness.  Intention. And Asking.  Tuning into our Authentic Desire (see last week's podcast) and then, Authentically Asking for What We Want.  And, the more I dive into being Authentic, the more I realize it's a CONSTANT Authenticity Authenticity isn't something we "Do"...It's about diving in and Being Who We Really Are. And, knowing that we aren't here to do it all ourselves, we ask for what we want, need and desire. This is not easy for many of us powerful and independent women. Today at a workshop with some amazing NonProfit Leaders and ChangeMakers, we talked about Vision, Voice and Value. And how we are truly tied to what we are here to do.  It shows up in how we lead our lives, our organizations, our families, our communities.  And, it all come from Being Authentic.  Fully in our Power.  And, Fully OPEN to Receive. Authenticity isn't something we "Do"...It's about diving in and Being Who We Really Are. Then asking.  For what we want. Authenticity leads to Asking for What We Want.  And, then Authentically RECEIVING.  Join the Authentic Receiving Challenge with us on Facebook! http://bit.ly/ArtofReceiving 00:25:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,NonProfitLeaders,ChangeMakers,DeborahLeeAnn,AuthenticityAuthenticity involves Asking for What We Want.

Does it truly light your heart and soul on FIRE?  This path of Authenticity has taken me deep within - where each time I'm in a business coaching session or a healing session or an energy session, when I am asked "What is your Heart's Desire?"  I panic. My first several answers are what my mind wants.  What my body/physical self wants.  What my ego-self says I'm only allowed to want...because that is Do-Able.  Realistic.  Safe. Playing it safe isn't the creative, conscious and amazing life I want to live any more.  It's part of the reason why I've been playing so small.  And mostly unfulfilled.  So - here I go, diving deep into Desire.  Feeling into the whimsey (not a mind thing) and wonder of what else is possible? What do I really want?  And letting that fire me up.  It's been more fun than I could have imagined. Join me!  Find your own Heart's Desire, or book a session with me to tap into it.  Often we can fool ourselves.  But having another hold space and give you permission to really go deep?  That's AMAZING.  Life-changing.  And Oh. So. Needed.  Wonder where we would be as a community, nation, world, if more of us were following our Heart's Desire? 00:24:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,AuthenticAugust,Authenticity,AuthenticLeadershipAcademyWho are you?

Showing my insides...the not-so-well-mannered or kept parts. And I've declared (I made a lot of declarations during July's Freedom themed shows) that I'm going to be Real. Yep, like the Velveteen Rabbit.  Worn, shabby in places, maybe in need of some extra stitches to be held together.  But loved.  Yep. It's been a long road.  Why did I make it so difficult?  Maybe that's the piece (peace) I've come to appreciate.  That I don't like to do things the easy way.  The pretty way.  The expected or tame or prescribed way. So, let's dive in.  What has Authenticity meant and how it continues to unfold in all aspects of my life.  And how that's OK.  Because, hey, I'm being Authentic here!  Warts and all... 00:23:00Deborah LeeAnnnoAugust is here, bringing about hot, humid days, less clothing, and makeup.

I don't have time to take a break.  Or, even slow down.  What would happen if I didn't keep all these plates spinning in the air? For decades I prided myself on how much I could handle.  I made sure to keep a full calendar.  And I would hit burnout before making the time to get away for a little "Debbie Time".  But when it came time to return home, the guilt and overwhelm of my husband’s and children’s demands put me right back in the zone…the one I’d created.  The high-adrenaline, cortisol inducing life that many of us still operate in. A Retreat allows us to return to Grace.  What do I mean by a Retreat?  It's a weekend to: Slow down our life, break the routine, be taken care of (no planning activities, caretaking or cooking or cleaning) and to be with our Self.  A planned time to hit the "Refresh" button, Recharge our batteries, Review our Life.  Heal.  Rejuvenate. For many of us, the idea of slowing down seems unthinkable.  Yet, what dis-service are we modeling for others?  For our kids, colleagues and loved ones? We all need to slow down.  Yet, our lives keep getting busier and busier.  And, we keep trying to fit more in to handle it all. Our energy is splintered, our diets rarely supportive of this self-induced stress and lifestyle.  Wait, YES, it is self-induced...no one else is making these decisions for us! Yet we feel out of control, unable to change the pace, even going on Vacation creates stress! So, Let's Declare Freedom to Pause, Reflect, Retreat...We deserve it.  A weekend for just being.  Settling into a gentler, softer, quieter, calmer routine.  One that serves us.  One that allows us to hear our Inner Voice.

Here's the thing, sometimes we wait.  In Fear.  Or, Doubt. Or because we are criticized.  We don't think we are Ready.  Or, we will make up all kinds of excuses or create drama and chaos.   Sound familiar?  Often it follows a great leap forward.  A move, or new love, or that new ideal client. This expansion of our comfort zone is unfamiliar.  It can feel like we've gone off-road.  And, it's exactly where we were headed.  So now what? No idea where this will lead me, or maybe it's just back to being Me.  More of Me.  Join me?  I need and want You to Be All You Are and All You Came Here to Be too! 00:29:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,WomensLeadershipCatalyst,WomenLeaders,AuthenticLeadershipIt's time, isn't it?

What is Fear's purpose?  How can we allow it to be there, feel it, acknowledge it AND not let it keep us from what we most desire?

Today, I'm still depleted of energy.  Have swollen eyes and feel tender and broken.  Like after surgery or a big shock of a car wreck. I had started a daily practice of allowing what wanted to be released to go.  And, declaring it.  Blessing it. Sharing it, declaring it. And then yesterday I couldn't talk to anyone.  No declaring.  No sharing on Facebook or Instagram, barely responding to messages, emails and texts. It was a tough day, beginning with a realization that my oldest cat was dying. (and to be truthful, I never thought it would hit me that way...I started crying and couldn't stop.  Add that to the fact that my family is going to be traveling in New Zealand and Australia for the next few weeks without me.  Making it painfully obvious that our dream of retiring there is not going to happen.  At least together.

When did we learn that the more full our calendar is, the more we work hard, long hours, that we are more worthy, deserving, or even, more important?

To get work done, to connect with others, to solve our problems, to manage our projects?

St. Louis is a tight-knit community.  If you know the right people, have the right degree, or the right last name, you can open more doors than others.  It's all about who you know, right?  What if that is beginning to change? Younger folks, the risk-taking entrepreneurial ones especially, are not asking these questions, they are just going for it.  Some add you to their marketing list, without asking.  Others, ask to join your LinkedIn network. Us older ones, especially women, tend to follow protocol.  And, expect less than we need to as a result. How can we move through the barriers (seen and unseen) to ask more?  Engage more?  Get the appointment or intruduction?  Let's see where we go today...in the broadcast, I'll share what I've done, am doing and what I commit to doing more of in the future.  This is a huge mindset shift, if we want to expand our network, opportunities, clients and community.  Trusting ...join in, listen live or later, and add your commentary and community!      00:27:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,WomenLeaders,WomensLeadershipCatalyst,DeborahLeeAnn,TrustWe're kinda "I'll believe it when I see it" people here - how can we shift this?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/06/15/wednesday-wisdom-radio-owning-our-lightness-darknessWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/06/15/wednesday-wisdom-radio-owning-our-lightness-darkness/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/06/15/wednesday-wisdom-radio-owning-our-lightness-darknessWed, 15 Jun 2016 18:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Owning Our Lightness (& Darkness)This has been a tough week.  On many counts.  And, many levels. As we reeled from the news of the Orlando shooting, and headed into a heat wave here that makes everyone uncomfortable and less pleasant, lots of anger, blame and ugliness has come of it. Pointing fingers and playing the 2nd Amendment argument as well as seeing some people finally realize that all human beings deserve to go out dancing and have a good night - no matter what color of skin, or their choice of sexual orientation or where they live or what religion they espouse (or don't). The “ism’s" that have separated us for so long are beginning to show us how disconnected we have become.  If there were another form of disease, sport or public health issue that was killing so many people EVERY day in our country, while separating our government, political parties, and citizens, it's gun control (or lack of it.) This is a particularly masculine topic.  Yet, as women leaders, are we going to continue letting our brothers, husbands, sons and communities be destroyed by the hands of gunmen?   Sitting still, knowing there is something to be said, some action to be taken, or a vote to be cast, and you NOT taking action?  You might as well be a part of the problem. Time to speak up.  Share your voice.  Dialogue.  Even if it's uncomfortable.  Even if friends decide they can't be your friend any longer.  Even if we disagree with our loved ones.  If it is your truth, no one has the right to take that away.  You, and you speaking your truth, are way more powerful than you know. Let's see where this goes... And, as always, feel free to connect to go deeper.  You receive your first Synergy Session on me to see if we are meant to work together.  Is it time?  http://bit.ly/DeborahLeeAnn 00:24:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,#OwningOurLightness,#MasculineEnergy,#WholenessWe can't be just one side of the coin.

It's a concept that would benefit us all if it was taught universally in our culture, maybe in nursery school, or at least college? Do you  ever catch yourself saying: "It's all their fault." "I'm not to blame" or “They know all the answers."   Or, "It's not up to me" or "I'm waiting for the perfect time/teacher/sign." Each time we look outside of our self we are giving away our own power.  The Blame Game leads us nowhere, yet we tend to want to pass the buck and hold others accountable for stuff that happens we don't like. And, this extends to our waiting around for others to save us.  I was taught that a man would do this for me.  Sweep me off my feet, take care of me, make me happy. OR, to help me have enough money to allow us to live the life of freedom we desire, OR, to support me to the next level of recognition or authority, so I'd be able to create the changes we want to see.   OR, that the next course/guru/book/degree would give us the antidote for the life we dream of... We look outside of our self so then we don't have to be Radically Honest and Personally Responsible.   This Reactive Tendency is based on patterns learned when we were small, and really didn't have the responsiblity or the authority to change what was happening around us. Now that we are older?  Let’s take charge of our own lives and lead by example.   Ready?  Join me, together we can do this.   00:28:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,RadicalHonesty,PersonalResponsiblity,BlameGame,#LeadingByExampleWhy do we tend to feel like we need others to Save Us?

The Masculine energy can be Transcendent, Assertive and creates Outcomes.  It's the Doing energy that allows us Women, as Leaders to create impact and change.  It's the other side to our Feminine energy which is Shadow, uses Attraction and enjoys the Process.  It's difficult and scary to not be in control.  There's a lot of unknowns.  Trust seems to be at a premium.  Yet, by knowing how to tap into and embrace ALL of our gifts, talents, energies and creative competencies, we are stronger, more capable and can face the changing environment with more confidence, clarity, courage and yes, charisma.  We'll be talking about each of these during the summer...stay tuned on a video series to teach exercises to enhance your leadership effectiveness in each of those areas. We need both Masculine and Feminine energy to claim and own our brilliance as change agents.  And to recognize their power in ourselves and in our environment, our culture and our world.  Let's explore in the coming weeks how to find our unique blend! 00:27:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,June,MasculineEnergy,TranscendentJune's topic is all around the Masculine energy, how to honor it, benefit by it, strengthen with it.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/05/25/wednesday-wisdom-radio-the-mother-of-inventionWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/05/25/wednesday-wisdom-radio-the-mother-of-invention/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/05/25/wednesday-wisdom-radio-the-mother-of-inventionWed, 25 May 2016 12:30:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ The Mother of InventionExploring Mother and Feminine Energy, and the Desire to Problem-Solve It's a constant itch for me.  To solve the problem(s) at hand, or search for one in need of solving!  Are you a Fix-It Person too?  When looking for the history of the phrase, "Necissity is the Mother of Invention" Wikipedia showed me this: "the basis of invention is science, and science is almost wholly the outgrowth of pleasurable intellectual curiosity."

She stayed home, cooked our meals and was there when we cried or needed something.  Yet, she suffered in silence, in her own way, living a life that wasn't fulfilled.  I was a stay-at-home Mom for most of my daughters' elementary school years, and I did attempt the SuperHero status but never quite got there.  Not for lack of trying and reading and adopting many parenting books' advice.  Yet other Moms thought I did an amazing job!  They saw the clean house, the smart happy children, the home-cooked meals, lunches and knew about the weekly date night out with my husband and were wowed.  Little did they know what went on behind the scenes. I was overly busy - using a jam-packed social and volunteering schedule to keep me constantly on the move.  Not playing with my children.  Rarely taking the time for my inner musings, creativity or spiritual practices.  And, when one of the girls woke up sick, I was totally thrown off-course, having to rearrange my life to make time for staying home with my daughter.  Where did I learn about the sacrifice I thought my life had to be as a Mother?  Yes, we do need to be caring, available, attentive, nurturing...yet, not forgetting about ourself in the process.  I thought the more I did, the more my children would learn that Moms can do it all.  Is that the legacy I wanted to teach them?  Now, that Iook back, I'm not sure. Let's dive in...looking at Motherhood with a new lens.  Being true to ourSelf first and foremost.  00:26:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWedWisdomRadio,DeborahLeeAnn,Motherhood,SuperMomStatus,MultitaskingThere's a new wave of mothers multitasking their way to SuperMom status, or are they?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/05/11/wednesday-wisdom-radio-when-did-we-learn-to-be-other-focusedWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/05/11/wednesday-wisdom-radio-when-did-we-learn-to-be-other-focused/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/05/11/wednesday-wisdom-radio-when-did-we-learn-to-be-other-focusedWed, 11 May 2016 14:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ When did we learn to be Other-Focused?Every time our mother laughed with joy, we got the benefits of that chemical spreading through out body too!  Her heartburn made us feel some discomfort, and when she experienced trauma from an argument or grief from a tragedy, we got a layer of that emotional wounding as well. It makes sense that we learned to know who we were based on Other's (especially our Mother's) energy or sensations.  Now, I believe it's time to reclaim our own sovereignty, stand in our wholeness, and fully live with our own power. Join me as I unravel some of this for myself and, possibly, there's some wisdom-sharing for us all.

CREATED, yes, those were the beginnings of my creation of new chapters, and although I'm not graduating, moving abroad and not celebrating Mother's Day for the first time, I'm still celebrating all that is coming forth this month.  Mother energy is about co-creating, nurturing, caring for and holding close that which we hold dear...not just our children, but all of our initiatives, enterprises, seeds and dreams. Let's celebrate and co-create and collaborate all of our Mother energy this month!   It's time for a new world where we share the responsiblitiy, joys and successes, and growing pains too!   We need each other to do this and it takes a village...   00:27:00Deborah LeeAnnnoWomenLeaders,MonthofMay,MotherEnergy,ItTakesAVillage,MayWelcome to May, the next 3rd of the year is upon us~ Where are you?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/04/27/wednesday-wisdom-radio-sovereign-boundaries-with-desires-men-money-magicWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/04/27/wednesday-wisdom-radio-sovereign-boundaries-with-desires-men-money-magic/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/04/27/wednesday-wisdom-radio-sovereign-boundaries-with-desires-men-money-magicWed, 27 Apr 2016 20:30:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Sovereign Boundaries with Desires: Men, Money & Magic!I"ve been playing with my own boundaries these past few years and talking about them in these past weeks.  In this last week of April, we explore Boundaries and Desire.  How much do I want to contain?  How much of me do I want to be transparent?  Is it safe to radiate my Brilliance? Energetic, emotional and psychological boundaries are something I experiment with on a daily, maybe hourly basis.  I love discovering what is more attractive and where and when I am repelling - especially around those areas of my life where I am most sensitive...

Boundaries!The more I have learned about Boundaries, the more authentically I've been able to connect.  On video with clients and listeners, in personal and romantic relationships and even with my family!  This is a great way to shine your light with truth and love while not stealing from others or leaking your power.  For women of influence, this is an essential life practice to master! This sounds like the opporsite, doesn't it?  By creating a physical, emotional, energetic and mental separation we create an even deeper, more intimate and true relationship with others...and our self.  Let's begin the month of April with redefining Boundaries and build each week on the symptoms of poor boundaries, what healthy boundaries look like, how to incorporate simple daily practices to support boundaries on all levels (mental, emtional, physical and energetic) to support these for yourself, and the benefits of doing so. Let's get started!  This is Spring, the time for new beginnings right?  00:23:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#DeborahLeeAnn,#WomensLeadership,#LeadershipCatalyst,#BoundariesBoundaries are such a great way to create connection...let's see how!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/03/30/wednesday-wisdom-radio-balancing-our-sources-of-wisdomWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/03/30/wednesday-wisdom-radio-balancing-our-sources-of-wisdom/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/03/30/wednesday-wisdom-radio-balancing-our-sources-of-wisdomWed, 30 Mar 2016 21:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Balancing our Sources of WisdomI love the indigenous concept of 7 Directions:  North, South, East, West, Above, Below, Within.  There is a wonderful story about how Native American children are taught to figure out what to do if they find themselves lost, based on listening to the wind.  Based on the direction, they would: 1.  know to stay put and an elder would find them, or 2.  listen to the other children and together come up with an answer, or 3.  figure it out on their own, 4.  they would ask Mother Earth to guide them back home.   It was a much broader concept of knowledge and wisdom and I love how their bodies, hearts, minds and spirits were all called into play! Do you do this?  Or do you listen only to your logical mind?  How often do you stop and feel into the answer?  Or ask the question and wait for your inspired wisdom to answer?  Or, do you only act based on what others advise?  Maybe it's time to learn to tune in, listen and TRUST your Inner Wisdom! 00:22:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdomRadio,#LeadershipCatalyst,#WomenLeaders,#DeborahLeeAnn,#7DirectionsofWisdomIn this 5th week of March, our final show on Balance has to do with the Mind/Body/Heart/Soul connections.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/03/23/wednesday-wisdom-radio-balance-its-not-possibleWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/03/23/wednesday-wisdom-radio-balance-its-not-possible/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2016/03/23/wednesday-wisdom-radio-balance-its-not-possibleWed, 23 Mar 2016 21:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom Radio ~ Balance, It's Not Possible!However, that doesn't mean we don't strive or dream of achieving it!

We may not know how to define it, but we certainly know it when we see it. In fact, when we are in the presence of an authentic person, many of us can even feel it in our bones. We gravitate toward people whom we perceive as honest, real and sincere. We love women who radiate warmth and that “down to earth” feeling. We gather around the people who can “tell it like it is” and laugh at themselves in the process. Authenticity is something we revere in others and strive to maintain in our own lives. We don’t feel good about half-truths, disingenuous connection and fearful silence. We all want to have a clear sense of who we are and what we believe and to feel confident enough to share that with others. I’ve always liked the saying “We want to feel comfortable in our own skin.” And, as Women who are Leaders and wanting to create a bigger impact, be more successful, and make more money we are struggling with a narrow and confusing list of expectations.  How can we navigate these?  Tune in, let's discuss online and off...this is a deep subject!

It's Wednesday, and I'm due to connect with you, yet I'm running on adrenaline and needing to follow my own wisdom.   The morning hike today up into the foothills in Golden, Colorado was breathtaking, literally and figuratively!   Yet, it took e a while to enjoy it as I was walking fast, looking down at the path so I wouldn't slip on ice/snow and I was annoyed.  My new pair of gloves, bought just weeks ago, now was missing the left hand.  AARGH!  Not the way to start my busy day, retracing my steps and calling the places I'd been over the past 5 days.  Whole Foods hadn't seen it.  The hotel checked their lost and found, 2 other gloves, neither mine. Yet, I breathed deeply, partly because of the thin air due to the elevation, and partly to calm myself. I found my center, felt the Mother Earth magnetic pull holding me and realized that the morning's agenda of packing, eating, showering and dressing, checking out, as well as prepping for my time on stage, was a bit ambitious of a plan.  And, I got the clear message, that this is not anyone else's stress, the day will go just fine, and to be in this moment.  What a gift!

However, if you were to describe your life and how you are living it, would you use the term "Free?"  Most of us feel chained or obligated or committed to some things (our jobs, our businesses, our family, or a role we feel stuck in) that we can't walk away from.  Are you feeling stuck?  Do you feel "at choice" in how you live your life? Join me for a few ways to rearrange your thinking, or to look at ways to feel differently about your choices - or seeming lack of them.  We'll also explore a higher form of Freedom, what I like to call Sovereignty!  00:22:00Deborah LeeAnnno#Freedom,#Sovereignty,#July,#choices,#StLouisFairAs we enter the month of July, here in the States, we celebrate the anniversary of our freedom and birth as a country.  There are lots of family picnics, outdoohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/24/wednesday-wisdom-life-is-full-of-mirrors-how-are-you-showing-upWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/24/wednesday-wisdom-life-is-full-of-mirrors-how-are-you-showing-up/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/24/wednesday-wisdom-life-is-full-of-mirrors-how-are-you-showing-upWed, 24 Jun 2015 14:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom ~ Life is Full of Mirrors, How are YOU showing up?One of my faviorite Tina Turner songs is, "What you see is what you get."  It was a theme for many years while in my 20's and  30's until I realized the Self I portrayed outwardly was not the true Me, leaving friends, lovers, family and work colleagues constantly guessing which version of my Self they would encounter day-to-day!  Not fun for them, nor easy to be in relationship with me.  What I've learned and would love to share with you, are some practices that allow me to show up as ME, authentically, and in all my divine human-ness.  When I do so, Life mirrors back at me the people, opportunities, financials and love relationships that I am broadcasting.  Join me for a 25 minute class to learn these tips and tricks so you can begin showing up as the Light you are, letting your Life mirror back to you what's True for You! 00:22:00Deborah LeeAnnno#WedWisdom,DeborahLeeAnn,Life Mirrors,Authenticity,#DivineHumanityOne of my faviorite Tina Turner songs is, "What you see is what you get."  It was a theme for many years while in my 20's and  30's until I realized the Self Ihttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/17/meditation-and-morning-ritualsWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/17/meditation-and-morning-rituals/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/17/meditation-and-morning-ritualsWed, 17 Jun 2015 14:00:00 GMTMeditation and Morning RitualsEvery successful and influential person I know has a morning ritual...and the discipline of following it is just as easy for us to put into place!  Join me to learn about some of my favorite ones and for a grounding and centering ritual I use almost daily (or sometimes more than once per day) to gain focus, listen deeply to Source and to connect with my body. 00:23:00Deborah LeeAnnnoEvery successful and influential person I know has a morning ritual...and the discipline of following it is just as easy for us to put into place!  Join me to lhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/10/wednesday-wisdom-with-deborah-leeann--ready-to-shineWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/10/wednesday-wisdom-with-deborah-leeann--ready-to-shine/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/10/wednesday-wisdom-with-deborah-leeann--ready-to-shineWed, 10 Jun 2015 14:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom with Deborah LeeAnn - Ready to Shine?Are you ready to be a magnetic and impactful leader?  One who inspires and makes a difference?  Check out weekly wisdom shared by Deborah LeeAnn on how your Presence is your own radio broadcast signal...and how to turn your's up!  00:28:00Deborah LeeAnnnoAre you ready to be a magnetic and impactful leader?  One who inspires and makes a difference?  Check out weekly wisdom shared by Deborah LeeAnn on how your Prehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/03/wednesday-wisdom--starting-with-self-loveWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/03/wednesday-wisdom--starting-with-self-love/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/deborahleeann/2015/06/03/wednesday-wisdom--starting-with-self-loveWed, 03 Jun 2015 14:00:00 GMTWednesday Wisdom - Starting with Self-LoveWe are kicking off the month of June with topics around Health/Wellness and, the importance of Retreat...Yes, a time to go inward especially during the time when vacations with family, extra workloads due to colleagues taking off, heat and humidity are all taking their toll on our sanity!  Come learn about how to make your case to get away, first and foremost, by giving yourSelf permission! 00:28:00Deborah LeeAnnno#women,#leadership,WomeninLeadership,#WednesdayWisdom,#RetreatWe are kicking off the month of June with topics around Health/Wellness and, the importance of Retreat...Yes, a time to go inward especially during the time whe
