iShft Happens with Leah & Cari: Discover the Leader Within

  Join us today as we have a conversation around conversations.  We’ve all said it—“Communication is hard.” But what if the real issue isn’t communication itself, but the lack of why behind the what? In this episode, we’re breaking down the silent crisis in how we connect. We assume. We react. We hyperlink to past experiences rather than truly listening. And in doing so, we limit not just our conversations, but our leadership, relationships, and growth. But what if we could change that? What if we could infuse meaning into every conversation and create deeper understanding? We’re exploring:The Why Behind the What – How clarifying intent changes everythingHyperlinking vs. Communicating – Why we default to assumption instead of connectionPossibility vs. Opportunity – How shifting your lens changes your outcomesThe Meaning Model – A powerful formula for sucessful communication What if communication didn’t have to feel like a struggle? What if, instead of reacting, we created space for meaning?

In a world where integrity is often just a performance, what does it really mean to live in full alignment with your word? In this episode of iShft Happens, we pull back the curtain on one of the biggest crises in leadership today: the slow erosion of integrity.   Integrity isn’t just about honesty—it’s truth in action. It’s the unshakable intersection of commitment (what we say we will do) and character (who we are when no one is watching). Without commitment, integrity is just an idea. Without character, integrity is just performance.   In a culture that rewards convenience over conviction, what is the real cost of holding integrity at all costs? And more importantly, what’s the cost of abandoning it?   We will unpack these uncomfortable truths:         Why most people think they have integrity—but don’t.         How small compromises lead to the slow death of self-trust.         Why radical integrity is the most rebellious act in today’s world.         The one promise you need to keep to reclaim your power.   This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a wake-up call. If you’re ready to lead with conviction, build unshakable trust, and stand in your truth no matter the cost, this episode is for you.   Listen now and ask yourself: What’s the promise you need to keep today?

We’ve all heard the same old burnout conversation—self-care, boundaries, and maybe a bubble bath. But what if we told you burnout isn’t just about working too hard? What if it’s a symptom of something deeper? Burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s misalignment. It’s not fixed by a nap, a vacation, or another cup of coffee. And here’s the real kicker: burnout isn’t actually the problem—it’s the invitation. In this episode of iShft Happens, we’re tearing up the rulebook on burnout and exposing what’s really at play. What if burnout isn’t a sign you’re doing too much, but rather that you’re doing too little of what truly fuels you? We’re diving into: The dangerous myth of “pushing through” and why it’s keeping you stuck. How burnout is often a sign of playing small—not doing too much. The radical shift from burnout recovery to burnout reinvention—using it as a launchpad, not a roadblock. Why high achievers and visionaries are the most at risk—and what to do about it. This isn’t another “self-care” episode. It’s a launchpad for those who are done with just surviving and are ready to step into their next level. Burnout isn’t the end—it’s your invitation to transformation. Are you ready to shift?   Watch here: https://youtu.be/wfuVUkx6_Jw

 Join us today as we pick up where we left off last week.  We are starting this episode with a very important question:  What if the biggest limitations in your life aren’t real—just beliefs you’ve accepted as truth? We are exposing two hidden brain filters that quietly sabotage what we most desire: the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and the Default Mode Network (DMN).   Watch: https://youtu.be/R7G7Sqi6g6A 

Join us today as invite you into a conversation about TRUTH, and why we are afraid to find it.   We like to think we’re searching for truth—but are we really? Or are we just looking for the truth that keeps us right… or righteous?   This week we’re getting into the justification loops that keep us stuck. We tell ourselves we’re “thinking things through,” but what if we’re actually just confirming what we already believe? What if the subconscious mind isn’t wired to seek truth, but to protect us from the discomfort of change?   Watch here: https://youtu.be/ickWRZdhg5w  

Join us today as we celebrate something BIG. Our manuscript for Return on Life: Unlocking Fulfillment Beyond Success is officially in the hands of our publisher!  In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the journey of writing this book and the powerful insights that will change the way you think about success.   So many of us chase money, time, and achievement, believing they are the ultimate measures of success.

It’s about investing in yourself—your growth, your relationships, your well-being—because THAT is where the greatest return comes from.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re redefining love—beyond romance, beyond grand gestures—to something deeper, more transformative: love in leadership. In a world where hustle culture reigns, where burnout is worn like a badge of honor, have we lost the heart in how we lead? In this special episode, we explore what it truly means to lead with love—with compassion, courage, and connection. We’ll unpack why modern leadership demands emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and a genuine investment in the people we serve. From boardrooms to businesses, from entrepreneurs to executives, we’ll discuss how bringing love back into leadership isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a game-changer. Join us as we challenge outdated leadership models and embrace a new paradigm—one where success is measured not just by profit, but by purpose. One where leadership is less about control and more about care. Because in business and in life, the best leaders don’t just lead—they love. Are you ready to shift the way you lead? Let’s dive in. ❤️ Watch here:  https://youtu.be/gecbAwcIkEw

Join us for what we believe to be a most critical conversation.  February is here, and with it comes a crucial checkpoint—are you still riding the momentum of your goals, or have they started to slip away? The answer has everything to do with alignment. But before we can align, we must first choose what we are aligning with. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the power of alignment—what it looks like when we’re in sync with our goals and values, and the self-sabotage that follows when we’re misaligned. If we don’t recommit to our goals by linking pleasure to what we truly desire instead of distractions, we risk repeating the same frustrating cycles, losing trust in ourselves, and proving yet again that change isn’t possible. We’ll also explore how corporate leaders inspire alignment—not just in business, but in life. The most successful leaders don’t just set goals; they believe in them, align their energy with them, and inspire their teams to do the same. What can we learn from them? How can we apply these leadership principles to our own personal growth? Your relationship with yourself is the foundation of your impact, influence, and fulfillment. If you’re feeling stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from your goals, this conversation is for you. Let’s realign, recommit, and reclaim the year ahead.  Watch here: https://youtu.be/O8lZngZPZwo

Don't miss this episode where we ask the only question needed to best understand your company culture.   Your company culture isn’t defined by the words on your website or the values etched into your office walls. It’s defined by how your people feel on a Sunday night. Are they dreading the week ahead, or are they stepping into Monday with clarity, purpose, and alignment? In this episode, we explore the heart of The Modern Culture movement: closing the gap between work and life. At the core of this transformation lies one pivotal question: How do your people feel on Sunday? Knowing the answer to this reveals more than just morale—it brings massive clarity around your goals, your mission, and the kind of culture you’re creating. As leaders of leaders, the question becomes: What are we asking our people to anchor to? What are we inviting them into? It’s not just about the work they do—it’s about who they are and how they feel. It’s not about passion as a task—it’s about purpose as an identity. Join us as we reimagine leadership and culture through the lens of alignment, exploring how the Modern Culture movement creates workplaces that inspire, fulfill, and energize—not just for your team, but for you as their leader. Because when alignment exists, passion flows, and as the saying goes, you’ll never work a day in your life.

In this episode of our podcast, we dive into the often uncomfortable but crucial topic of saying what needs to be said. Why do we struggle with honesty? Why does it matter? Most of us have been conditioned to believe that if we spoke the truth that it would be mean, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.  The truth is never mean and if your truth is mean, it isn't truth.  It is judgement.   True honesty is about holding your voice and exercising your own agency while supporting others in doing the same. Until we can all speak our truth and support each other in this journey, none of us are immune from this work.    For those in leadership roles, acknowledging and addressing the gaps in your own development is essential. The person you owe this growth to is yourself. When you grow, align, and perform, the challenges and stresses of your business and life become far less overwhelming. You've built the resilience and skills needed to handle them with grace. This episode invites you to let go of unnecessary stress. It’s about learning to navigate your path and advocate for what you truly want. Accept this invitation for growth—because it starts within and radiates outward, positively impacting everyone around you. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Let’s learn to speak our truth, support each other, and create a life of genuine alignment and fulfillment. Tune in to this insightful episode and start your journey towards honest communication and personal growth today.

Join us today as we learn how to change our past.  As we grow older, many of us find ourselves spending significant time reflecting on the past rather than looking forward to the future. When we were younger, the future was our main focus—filled with dreams, aspirations, and decisive actions. We knew what we wanted and pursued it with vigor.

We'll explore why we get stuck in cycles of regret and how our past decisions influence our current mindset. More importantly, we'll discuss strategies to break free from this pattern and embrace the internal arguments we unknowingly have with ourselves.

I hope you will join us today for round two on TIME.  In our first episode, we explored the myth of time and why it is that we feel as though we don't have enough.  Today, we are digging deeper. Ever wonder what's eating up your time? Or how you could actually make more of it? That is what we are exploring in todays episode.  What if there were things that were costing you time?  What if there were things that you did, that created time?  How much time we actually have is the important question and if we can identify the things that cost us time and minimized and/or eliminated them we would have more time. Right? Similiarly if we can identify the things that create time and increase and optimize that we would have more time.  Right?  If we did both, we would have more time.  And what if there was a way to compound time, so that it truly feels as though we had an abundance - more than enough of time.  I couldn't help but create a part 2 as I didn't get to everything I wanted to share in the first episode called - you don't have a time problem.
