Beginning Again: The Return

from How She Really Does It

I'm back. After more than two years away, I'm returning to the podcast I've been hosting since 2006, and I'm not pretending the time away was tidy or planned. This episode is an honest look behind the curtain at what really happened, what kept me from returning sooner, and what I've learned about leadership, resilience, and beginning again. If you've ever had a project, dream, or part of yourself that you've struggled to return to, this conversation is for you. WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER • Why my pause lasted over two years instead of the two months I originally planned. • What a series of starts and stops really looks like behind the scenes of a long-running podcast. • How Parkinson's Law has shaped the way I work, travel, and create space for myself. • The identity I am letting go of and what it feels like to figure out who you are in your fifties. • What I have been doing professionally during the pause, including leadership resets, business infrastructure immersions, and company offsites. • The invitation to be gentle with yourself when something you meant to do keeps not happening. RESOURCES FOR YOU • Make sure you subscribe to never miss a show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-she-really-does-it/id307368679 • If you're interested in working with me, reach out at [email protected] • Share this episode with a friend who needs permission to be gentle with herself.
