What’s your devotion? Ours is to choose joy, take risks and repeat #lioness Episode 43

Episode 43

In this podcast, Michele and I offer you a rare peek into how our tribe connects with each other. We talk about how to create and find your true, authentic community. We talk about what it means to be an authentic leader. We explore what it means to have a devotion that transcends emotion. And we also explore what it’s like to continually choose joy while taking risks.

Topics

• Devotion
• Redefining leadership
• Taking risks
• Giving each other evidence that it’s safe to take risks (example: no one died in the process of posting a TikTok video)
• Michele’s risk-taking adventures over the last few years, especially overcoming her fears about showing up in social media platforms
• Michele mentioned Jeff Fay, photographer and storyteller http://www.jefffay.com/
• How we each processed life when we were young, Michele through art and Debbie through reading and writing
• Debbie’s greatest fear prior to a 10 day silent retreat
• PRIVATELY ANNOUNCING Michele’s new art classes, teaching individuals and groups – virtually and globally!
