325. Leading with Grace: Making Space for Different Views with Charlotte Reed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when we step toward disagreement instead of away from it? In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead! , Yo talks with Charlotte Reed , a communications professional, community organizer, and candidate for Menlo Park City Council, District 4, in California. Charlotte’s path to public service grew from a lifelong commitment to service—and from seeing what can happen when neighbors who care deeply about their community begin talking past one another. During one particularly difficult City
324. SOUND BITE: Caring for Ourselves: What Can Get in the Way? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it really mean to care for ourselves? This Sound Bite (9:17) was inspired by my recent conversation with Riana Malia , where we talked about love, identity, the patterns we carry, and what can happen when we get clear about who we are and what we want. I initially thought this reflection would be about loving ourselves . But the more I sat with it, the more I wondered whether loving ourselves and caring for ourselves are quite the same thing. We may love ourselves and still push throug
323. Clear the Story, Create the Life: Who Are You Becoming? with Riana Malia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if understanding our patterns isn't the same as changing them? In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead! , I talk with Riana Malia , a Board-Certified Integrative Neurosomatic Practitioner and identity architect for high-achieving women.

As Riana puts it: “We have
322. SOUND BITE: Defensiveness: What Is It Trying to Tell Us? (9:14) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when someone says something about us—and before they’ve even finished speaking, we’re already preparing our defense? That’s not what I meant. That’s not what happened. You don’t understand. Defensiveness can show up quickly. We explain. We justify. We shut down. We counterattack. Or we become so focused on proving that we’re right that we stop listening. But what if defensiveness isn’t simply something we need to get rid of? What if it’s trying to tell us something? In this Sound Bi
321. Hard Conversations: Clarity, Kindness, and Trust with Kerry Siggins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What makes a hard conversation so hard? Sometimes it’s what we need to say. Sometimes it’s what we’re afraid we’ll hear. And sometimes it’s the story we’ve already told ourselves about what will happen if we speak honestly. In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead! , I’m joined by Kerry Siggins , CEO of StoneAge and author of Talk with Trust: How to Own Feedback, Spark Growth, and Build Stronger Teams . And we begin the conversation a little differently—with three deep breaths. It’s a practice Ker
