Stop, Drop & R.O.L.E.

What happens when everything you thought you were prepared for falls apart in an instant? In this powerful episode of Stop. Drop. & R.O.L.E., host Jen Caceres sits down with Valerie Probstfeld—pediatric nurse practitioner, author, podcaster, and mother—for a deeply human conversation about pausing, perspective, and choosing love over fear. Valerie shares her transformative story of becoming a mother after her newborn was rushed to the NICU - an experience that shattered her expectations, exposed deep emotional patterns, and sparked a lifelong commitment to mindfulness, self-reflection, and intentional response over reaction. Together, Jen and Valerie explore: The difference between reacting vs. responding How the brain’s amygdala and prefrontal cortex shape our behavior Why the “angry face” shows up in parenting and leadership How mindfulness, gratitude, and body language change communication What Viktor Frankl’s “space between stimulus and response” means in real life The overlap between parenting, leadership, and team culture Why perfection is an illusion—and growth lives in imperfection How slowing down can create freedom, clarity, and connection Valerie also discusses her book, To Mom Is to Love: Pioneering a New Kind of Motherhood, which blends neuroscience, lived experience, and practical tools to help parents—and leaders—lengthen the pause, regulate emotions, and lead with compassion. While rooted in motherhood, this conversation resonates far beyond parenting, offering insight for anyone navigating relationships, leadership, identity shifts, or personal growth. This episode is a must-listen for:Parents and caregivers Leaders and managers Coaches, educators, and healthcare professionals Anyone working on emotional regulation, mindfulness, or personal development Anyone learning how to pause, reflect, and respond with intention 🎧 Listen in to discover how slowing down isn’t weakness—it’s leadership.

If you want to lead with clarity, build trust, strengthen communication, and coach your team more effectively, this episode gives you the practical framework to do it.You’ll learn how to:• STOP and become fully present in conversations• DROP the stories, assumptions, and biases that distort what you hear (or miss)• REFLECT on the listening habits that may be holding you back• OBSERVE your body language, attention, and presence• LISTEN with your head, heart, and gut — not just your ears• EVOLVE into a stronger, more intentional communicator and leaderWe explore real examples from work and home, the dangers of "multitasking", why leaders often listen to respond instead of listen to understand, and how intentional listening improves trust, coaching, team dynamics, and decision-making.If you’re in leadership, management or any role where people rely on you (including being a parent, spouse or friend, too) — this episode will challenge how you show up and how you communicate.Small shifts in listening can create massive changes in relationships and results!© 2025 Perpetual Capacity Coaching & Consulting, LLC.

You also chose to support the company wherever you work from if you believe in the mission and vision of what you do there. The question is - do you know what one other does? Do you support each other? What impact do the silos make on the culture? On your customers? On the relationships that are crucial to business?That's today's episode. How are you intentionally connecting your field to the office? If you're throwing up your hands and saying "that's not my job" - are you really leading?Yes, it takes time. Yes, it takes patience.

You'll have to admit what you've outgrown and where you want to really see change - then commit to it.Join Jen today as a construction professional (in or out of the field/office) and Reflect, Observe, Listen - to Evolve and see where you can make a difference, leader!© 2025 Perpetual Capacity Coaching & Consulting, LLC.

Today on Stop. Drop. & ROLE, we're asking a hard question: What happens when the people we trust to develop and spend time with our young or new talent, mentors, aren't actually equipped to do the job? Maybe they're stuck in old ways. Maybe they’ve internalized poor habits. Whatever the case, the cost is high - for our teams, our culture, and our business.Employees with effective mentors are 2.5x more likely to stay longer than five years. But when mentorship is misaligned, it becomes unhealthy and 43% of employees in a recent survey reported quitting a job due to poor leadership or mentorship.Join Jen today as she explains why a person's manager should not be their mentor as well as the trouble with mentor programs that are mandatory and mentors in a queue, assigned by HR. Without a plan of frequent check=in's, you could be hurting your talent more than developing them. A true mentor program should be seen as "specially selected" - a prestigious opportunity to impact the organization and a chance for development and recognition.Follow along with the important steps to awareness through Stop. Drop. Reflect. Observe. Listen & Evolve - to grow into a intentional, healthy mentorship program.*There is an underlying notation to construction and manufacturing industries here as examples due to Jen's experience and subject matter expertise.© 2025 Perpetual Capacity Coaching & Consulting, LLC.

Advice is everywhere - coming from family, friends, coworkers, mentors, and especially our endless scrolling of social media. The moment people discover you’re trying to make a decision, opinions flood in, often well-intentioned, sometimes insightful, but not always helpful.So how do we decide which advice to take and which to leave behind?In this episode, we explore the reality of "advice overload" and how to filter out the noise.Are you listening to challenge your thinking, or just to confirm a decision you’ve already made?Is the advice meant to support your growth, or does it reflect someone else’s fears and limitations?Jen also discusses how to recognize unsolicited advice that seeps into our daily lives from Instagram posts to random Google searches, and how to critically evaluate whether it aligns with your values and circumstances.We also examine the motivations behind the advice we receive. Sometimes people offer guidance based on their own experiences, but other times, their words reflect their insecurities or even their personal agendas. Some people try to protect us out of love but may not offer the best path forward. Others impose their own fears, limiting beliefs, or expectations.If you’ve ever struggled with knowing whose voice to trust, this episode is for you.By the end, you’ll have practical tools to weigh the credibility of advice, recognize when you’re seeking validation instead of true guidance, and, most importantly, embrace the power of pause before making a decision.© 2025 Perpetual Capacity Coaching & Consulting, LLC.

Boundaries have become a buzzword, but why are they so crucial for our well-being?A boundary is a tool to protect what you care about most. They're not all about saying "no", but also about saying "yes" to what matters most to you in life and at work.In this episode, we explore how boundaries go beyond being just limits—they’re essential acts of self-care that allow us to manage our time, energy, and relationships effectively.
