271: Standing Up for Yourself
In this episode of The Elegant Warrior podcast, we're diving into the importance of standing up for yourself and unlocking your fullest potential. I've learned from my experience as a trial attorney that standing up for yourself goes beyond just avoiding being taken advantage of - it's about asking for what you want in a way that gets results.
I share a story from my early career where I stood up for someone in a tense mediation situation. This experience taught me the power of taking up space in a room and advocating for my own wants and needs.
Standing up for ourselves doesn't mean we are disconnected from others, in fact, it allows us to share our boundaries, our dreams, and our potential. It helps us to navigate challenging conversations more effectively and move forward in our journeys, towards the path of fulfilling our dreams and accessing our limitless potential.
Key Takeaways:
· Discover the profound impact that standing up for oneself has on personal and career trajectory.
· Gain insightful methods on eloquently expressing your needs and desires for more productive interactions.
· Understand the potential drawbacks of avoiding difficult discussions and how they can impede progress.
· Delve deep into the transformative power of self-assertion in reaching peak performance.
· Learn the secrets of successful negotiation for better outcomes in challenging conversations.

270: Burnout, Resentment and Boundaries with Cait Donovan
Today’s guest is Cait Donovan. Cait Donovan is a Keynote speaker, one of New York City's leading burnout experts, host of “Fried – The Burnout Podcast,” author of the book "The Bouncebackability Factor", and an acupuncturist with a master's degree in Chinese medicine.
This was a great conversation about burnout, resentment, and boundaries. We discussed:
* Feeling not good enough. 2:00
* The biggest component of burnout is feelings of not being enough.
* What does burnout mean to you? 4:18
* Burnout is when the pilot light in the body goes too low and there is not enough energy to sustain normal functioning, rejuvenation, etc.
* The feeling of not being enough is part of burnout, and being too much is also part of it.
* The difference between burnout and stress. 9:21
* Stress and burnout are a continuum. Burnout is the far end of chronic unmitigated stress, while stress is healthy and good when it is not chronic.
* Resentment is the number one tool for keeping yourself out of burnout. It is one of the main tools that she teaches people.
* More on resentment
* If you pay close attention to resentments objectively, you will notice that each and every zone of your life where your boundaries are being crossed.
* Boundaries make you more generous and more forgiving. 17:00
* When boundaries are in place, the places that you enjoy being generous are available to you and you can use them.
* What does it mean to honor your calendar? 19:03
* The importance of honoring appointments and paying yourself back
* What resentment feels like to Cait
* How to set boundaries when you feel resentment. 20:48
* When she feels resentful, it is because she is over giving and feeling like she is doing the same thing.
* When there is a mismatch in a relationship and resentment is building up, ask yourself a few questions to sort through what is really going on.
* For some of us and even relationships, we bounce before sending a boundary because we are afraid of setting a boundary.
* How to avoid burnout? 26:04
* Finding the balance between bringing resources in and only releasing the resources that are available.
* If one does not learn in one area of their life, they can leave whatever relationship or job they want and take it with them to another place.
* What is the first step to identifying your resentments? 28:26
* Identifying resentments is one of the first steps when people come to work with you, because they are the signposts.
Here’s a link to Cait’s mini-course on resentments!

269: Boundaries, Confidence, and Empowerment - A Conversation with Sasha Shillcutt, M.D
In this episode of "The Elegant Warrior," we have a special guest, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, an accomplished physician, author, and advocate for women's empowerment. Sasha is the founder and CEO of Brave Enough, a platform dedicated to helping women set boundaries, say no, and take control of their time. In her book, "Brave Boundaries," she shares valuable insights and strategies for establishing boundaries to lead a more fulfilled and balanced life.
Key Takeaways:
* The Struggle with Setting Boundaries: Dr. Sasha Shillcutt discusses the societal expectations that often make it challenging for women to set boundaries for themselves. Women are often seen as caregivers and helpers, making it difficult to prioritize self-care. This tendency can lead to boundary backlash and challenges when trying to set personal boundaries.
* Identifying Boundary Categories: In her book, Dr. Shillcutt outlines different boundary categories, such as professional life, personal life, family, social media, and more. By identifying and understanding these categories, women can take the first step toward establishing meaningful boundaries in their lives.
* Approachable vs. Accessible: Dr. Shillcutt highlights the distinction between being approachable and being accessible. Being constantly accessible can lead to burnout and disengagement. Setting boundaries allows women to control when and how they engage with others, ensuring they can give their best to every aspect of their lives.
* The Power of Compartmentalization: Compartmentalization can be a powerful tool for creating balance and productivity. Dr. Shillcutt shares how she compartmentalizes different aspects of her life, like work and family, allowing her to focus on one area at a time and be more present in each role.
Boundaries are essential for well-being and empowerment. Dr. Sasha Shillcutt's book, "Brave Boundaries," offers valuable insights and strategies for setting boundaries that lead to a more balanced and fulfilled life. By persuading ourselves of the value of boundaries, identifying our priorities, and learning to compartmentalize, we can create a life that aligns with our mission and purpose.
To learn more about Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and her work, visit her website at becomebraveenough.com. Don't forget to check out her book, "Brave Boundaries," for practical tips and inspiration to create a life with healthier boundaries.
Remember, elegance is a choice, and setting boundaries is a powerful step towards living an elegant life. Embrace your power, say no when necessary, and stand strong in setting your boundaries for a more fulfilled and empowered life.

212: Ways to Avoid Being Judged
In today’s podcast, we will discuss judgment. Though it is not always a bad thing, it is frequently held in a negative context. We may even find that our thoughts and decisions are often motivated by it. Most people are not afraid of failing, but they’re afraid of being judged for having failed. With that in mind, we will consider three ways that we can avoid being judged and how we can get out of the habit of judging.

Today, we will be talking about “Making the Case,” so that you can learn to ask for what you want. Living a life that is true to yourself so that you will not have regrets is something that can be done through advocating. Becoming a strong advocate and using the tools that I used in the courtroom such as questions, credibility, evidence, perspective taking, arguments, words, body language, and creativity to name a few is how you can begin to build your case.
Building the evidence for yourself is something that I have my private coaching clients do daily. I will go over how I help them find their evidence and what to do with that evidence to build a case for themselves.

204: “Not This”
It is so important that you realize when you try something new and it doesn't work out, it doesn't mean you have failed. It means that you have just found another “Not this” job or situation. Not this means that you have tried something and it isn't the perfect fit for you. Or, if it’s something that you have been doing for a long time it may not be what you want to do anymore.
Listen as I talk about the many “Not this” things that I have done throughout my life. It has taught me to not be afraid of trying something new, because each thing that I tried that didn’t work out lead me closer to what I currently love to do, which is keynote speaking and coaching people on how to advocate for themselves. Don’t be afraid to try something new. You might find what your “This” is, and you will finally find what makes you happy and fulfilled.

Who is the authority in your life? For a long time, my job was my authority. Being a lawyer dictated my choice, my story, and it dictated the way I saw myself. The character that I was writing for myself was the character of a lawyer. I did things a lawyer would do, and I didn’t do things that I thought a lawyer wouldn’t do. My job as my lawyer started to tell me who I was and what I did.
My biggest challenge over the past few years has been the authority in my life when it comes to my business. This is because I wasn’t sure who I wanted to serve, whether Business to business (B2B) or speak for women I knew were not advocating for themselves (B2C).

I found this book such a good read, because not only is it so useful, it’s also really fun and lighthearted.
Intentioning lays out nine leadership tools that readers can use to get comfortable with being powerful. Gloria and I discussed each of these tools in depth, along with the demons that can undermine us. One of my personal favorite tools is her adage that you should “Research your worth.” Our worth isn’t just limited to fair compensation, although that’s important, but it’s also thinking about your unique qualities and the R…

The journey to start advocating for myself happened after returning from the hospital with a severe allergic reaction, to myself. It was hard to believe and understand because I was consistently named as one of Pennsylvania’s top 50 female attorneys, I had been inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers and I’d also just started a media career as a legal expert making appearances on TV news. But also at the time, I was on back-to-back trials, under pressure, and in a bad relationship.
Anyone looking at me from the outside would have thought I had it all: a great job, six figure salary, a boyfriend, a condo, a media career, but I wanted more. I knew I wanted to write a book, to start a podcast, to use my psychology degree, to have a relationship with someone who was more supportive. It was at this point that I decided that no-one else was going to help me, so I had to help myself and become my own advocate.

186: You Are Capable
On this episode of The Elegant Warrior Podcast, I discuss the simple fact that you are capable.
Recognizing your capability is a key part of becoming your own advocate. It’s also the first stage in being able to take risks, and if you’re not taking risks, you’re not opening yourself up to all the potential opportunities that come with the risk.
I believe in you and your capability, because by listening to this podcast, you’re showing me and yourself that you’re interested in getting comfortable with risk and with seizing opportunities. When you’re doing that, you’re advocating for yourself.
Please reach out to me to let me know how you’re advocating for yourself and how you have discovered your own capabilities; I love hearing your inspiring stories.

185: Courtney E. Ackerman and The Book of Patience
On today’s episode of The Elegant Warrior podcast, I invite special guest author and researcher Courtney Ackerman on to the show to talk about her new book, ‘The Book of Patience’. Courtney has compiled 250 tips, tricks and thought-provoking ideas to help us to become more patient, which is something that is so relevant and necessary as we all wait for COVID-19 restrictions to stop dominating our lives.
I love her book as her advice is so intuitive and it’s the kind of book that encourages you to flick through it over and over again. Courtney’s approach is to give different kinds of advice and to illustrate her point in several ways so that you can find the parts that resonate with you the most. She emphasizes that patience is a choice that we have to make - perhaps we can’t change the situation that we’re in, but we can work on our mindset to change how we feel about it. When we apply this technique, our patience will grow over time, like a muscle.

184: Risk or opportunity?
On today’s episode of The Elegant Warrior podcast, I cover a crucial concept in the process of beginning to be your own advocate: the risk versus opportunity matrix.
Sometimes, some people can be put off from advocating for themselves because they perceive the risk as being too great. When you ask your boss for a raise, or try to lay down a boundary with a tricky family member, you may be worried about risking a close relationship or making a fool of yourself. It’s natural to be averse to risk; in fact, it’s part of the human condition.
However, being averse to risk can mean that you stay stuck in the same place, not getting the things you want for yourself. I know what it feels like to take a risk - and to lose! - and I want you to know that people who take risks are generally more satisfied in life. I explain how to reframe your thinking around risks and opportunities so that you feel ready to take a risk in life and to be your own advocate. Listen to this episode to find out…

On today’s episode of The Elegant Warrior, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jason Harris, co-founder and CEO of Mekanism, a San Francisco-based advertising agency that has shaped the image of brands such as Ben & Jerry’s, OkCupid, Jose Cuervo and Alaska Airlines.

Make sure to stay tuned right to the end to listen to Jason and I discussing skill hunting and how to use your talents to give back to the world around you.

Twenty years as a defense attorney will make you defensive. It’s part of the job after all. But I’ve found the more defensive I am, the worse I do, in the courtroom and also in life.

Deliberately Defining Your Values
What are the deeply held core values that guide you when you are making the hardest decisions? Do you spend your time focusing on those values or floating from idea to idea with no real purpose or end goal in mind?
My guest today is Brant Menswar, the author of Black Sheep: Unleash the Extraordinary, Awe-Inspiring, Undiscovered You. He wrote this book to help people identify what matters most in the moments that matter most, and today we discuss the importance of deliberately defining your values and knowing exactly what matters most to you so that you can take the most meaningful action every day.
Today we discuss —
What are your black sheep values?
* Do you know why farmers don’t value black sheep as much as the rest of the flock?
* Everyone has five black sheep values that should be embraced no matter what.
* Your non-negotiable values have to be separated from your important values — what matters most?
* You cannot find your purpose if you can’t define what yo…

Overcoming Impostor Syndrome with Credibility
Do you ever feel like a fake? That you don’t have the experience or credibility you need to do the work you’re doing and you’re afraid someone is going to find out the truth? We often call that impostor syndrome and I am here today to tell you that it is doing nothing to serve you. The first time I defended in the courtroom I knew I had zero experience but I didn’t let that stop me. I used other experiences in my life as evidence that I could do this new thing well too. You can overcome impostor syndrome by doing three things — believing in yourself, building credibility in yourself, and empowering yourself with the evidence — to help yourself move forward with confidence.
Today we discuss —
Identifying impostor syndrome
* Impostor syndrome refers to high achievers who are unable to internalize their success, resulting in self-doubt
* In order to advocate for yourself, you have to believe in yourself
* If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else is going to b…

She shares the language you need to use when asking questions to get what you want and highlights the importance of asking for more so that you can pave the way for those who come after you.
Today we discuss —
Negotiations and relationships
* Negotiation is so much more than haggling over money or demanding that you get your way.
* Negotiations are conversations in which you are steering your relationships.
* Effective negotiation requires conversations that teach people how to treat you and how to value you.
* Generating trust is key to negotiations in relationships.

Managing O.P.B.
Do you get caught up in what is going on in other people’s lives? I know I do, and it rarely results in anything good. I want to talk to you today about O.P.B. — other people’s business. Too often we allow other people’s business to distract us from what matters most in our own lives. We waste time focusing on what someone else is wearing, doing, earning, or experiencing when we could be spending that same time shaping and benefitting our own lives. I want you to understand the dangers of focusing on O.P.B., why you need to overcome it, and what you stand to gain if you can take that same energy and put it into improving your own life.
Today we discuss —
The danger of focusing on other people’s business
* O.P.B. can be one of the greatest distractions and addictions in our lives.
* Every time you visit social media websites, you are getting into O.P.B.
* O.P.B. can become an addiction if left unchecked.
* Spending time on social media and in O.P.B. takes you away…

Owning and Loving Your Choices
The career you chose years ago was your choice, and what you make of your career today is also your choice. The choices that you make every day about your career, your relationships, your life are just that — your choice. My guest today is author Carson Tate and she’s here to teach you how to master the choices you make in your career. She shares tools to help you own it, love it, and make it work. You will learn that it’s okay to want to be recognized and appreciated, that knowing your strengths will give you the credibility to grow your confidence, and that you always have the power to choose your reaction to the course that you are on.
Today we discuss —

* Admit that you have recognition needs, and communicate those needs to others.

Intentions Versus Goals
The goals that you set for yourself are far more likely to be achieved if you also know what your intentions are. Intentions and goals work hand in hand but they are not the same thing. Today, we are going to discuss the characteristics of goals and intentions and how both are necessary to help you get what you want most. Whether it’s winning a court case, earning a promotion, or getting a divorce, your intentions guide your actions as you work toward your goals. My actions in the courtroom and in my personal life have varied widely based on my intentions, but in every case I have seen this truth — when your goals are firmly grounded by your intentions, the sky’s the limit to what you can achieve.
Today we discuss —
Three characteristics of goals
* Goals are defined as something that you want to reach in the future.
* Goals are easily measurable by other people.
* Goals have an end point — data will prove whether you have met a goal or not.

Choose Your Elegance, Choose Your Life
How often do you hesitate to make a choice because you’re not sure if it’s the right one? Or second-guess the choice you did make because you don’t know if you made it for the right reasons? Today, I want to share with you three ways that you can know without a doubt that you are making the best choices for your life. When you confidently make your choices, you confidently choose your life. I want to help you eliminate the doubt and instead begin to make choices more confidently, more quickly, and more decisively. I can promise you that these three things will help you to make better choices for your life, starting today.
Today we discuss —
Know that you are choosing
* When you know that you are making choices you can do so much more intentionally.
* Even the choices that you don’t necessarily enjoy are still intentional — what would happen if you chose not to wake up on time or not to go to work today?
* Elegance lies in making your choices intentionally.

I want to share with you some of the choices that I’ve made in my life, big and small, that have shaped who I am today.

No matter how uncertain your year or your life has become, resilience is one thing we can all be certain of no matter our circumstances. My guest today is living proof of that fact. Known as the “Queen of Resilience,” Stacey Copas has created a framework of resilience based on the life experience of overcoming the adversity of becoming quadriplegic at 12 years old. I am thrilled that she has joined me today and I know you are going to come away from our conversation ready to take on the world. We discuss simple ways to develop greater resilience, how resilience can change the story of your life for the better, and the one popular piece of advice about developing gratitude that drives her crazy (and what she does instead).

How many of your life plans have changed this year? If you’re like most of my clients and listeners, the answer is a lot. We are all experiencing so much uncertainty right now in work, in school, in the unknown of the future, and in caring and providing for our families and ourselves. And while the world outside of you may feel incredibly uncertain and out of control, I want you to know that you still have so much that you can be certain of. Today, I want to show you how you can find certainty inside yourself, prepare your body and your mind for uncertainty, and make the choices that will lead you to feel certainty within yourself in any circumstance. My upcoming 10-week advocacy course will help you become more certain within yourself than ever before and I would love for you to sign up today.

How to Breathe to Succeed
Today, I am delighted to finally be joined by the author of a book that came into my life at the time that I really needed it. Throughout my life, I have used different yoga and meditation practices to help maintain my mindfulness, and these practices all have one thing in common — a dedicated focus on breathing. I’ve discovered that when I slip in my practice, I have found myself stuck in a pattern of negative thoughts, and this author reminded me of what I was missing out on.
I’m joined today by Breathe to Succeed author Sandy Abrams to discuss the power of your breath. She explains how controlling your breath can transform your emotions, increase your self-awareness and your productivity, and help you stay in control of your life, even in this crazy world that we are living in.

What are you doing today to ensure that you will have self-confidence tomorrow? Do you break the promises that you make yourself, or are you constantly telling yourself that you aren’t capable of getting anything right? As a combination of a confidence coach and a communications coach, I want you to learn how to advocate for yourself with greater self-confidence. Confidence in yourself is so important in today’s rapidly changing world, and I want you to know how to ask for what you want and what you need.
Today, I’m going to share with you the experience I had in high school that taught me just how important self-confidence is.

How do you talk to yourself? Are you as kind and understanding of yourself as you are to everyone else? We know that our thoughts lead to our emotions, but what if you could change your thoughts before they had a chance to impact the way you feel? The conversations you have with your inner jury are the most important conversations you have, and the way you talk to yourself can help or hurt you as you deal with all of the emotions, including anxiety and depression and especially in the current climate of COVID-19. My guest today is full of valuable advice to help you thrive through this difficult time and to recognize the power of truly feeling all of your emotions.

PREVIEW OF THE ELEGANT WARRIOR
I learned how to advocate for others in the classroom (at law school) and in the courtroom. But it took me a lot longer to learn to advocate for myself. When I realized that the tools I used to win in the courtroom could be used to win in life, everything got a little easier. Handling complaints, discovering yourself, knowing when to settle and learning to object are all skills you can master. This week, I give you a little preview of my book. You can pre-order it here.
