459: 5 Ways To Dream Big When Everything Is Unpredictable

Have you lost your mojo?  The world is so uncertain right now and there is no end in sight.  Around us we see people losing steam and losing hope.  People are sitting down.

I want to lovingly challenge you to STAY STANDING.  Keep moving forward.  Even if your steps are barely measurable.  Any step forward is a step forward, no matter the size.  And a step forward keeps you in momentum, which is key when things are hard.

The world can't afford for you to sit down.  We can't afford for you to quit dreaming.  We need you to keep going.  Our country needs you to keep going.  Your community needs you to keep going.  Your family needs you to keep going.

Keep dreaming even if the dream has shifted.

Keep dreaming even if the timeline toward your dreams is totally unknown.

Keep dreaming even if your dreams feel a little silly or trivial or insignificant. 

It is our dreaming that keeps our spirits up, our heads and hearts engaged, and our souls on fire.

You need your dreams now more than ever before. 

If you're struggling  right now, here are a few steps you can take to keep showing up for your dreams:

  1. Own what is working and what you do have control over
  2. Set some dreamy 3 year goals
  3. Make space to be quiet and creative #everydamnday
  4. Connect with other women who are still standing and in staying in momentum

I’m not going to watch you let your dreams die.  STAND UP.  If you need someone to hold your hand, I got you.

Welcome to Shameless Leadership! This show is for women, transgender people, non-binary folks, and allies who are committed to advancing their leadership and the leadership of those around them. In this space, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. Our mission is to help you foster these feelings within your own circles of influence to build trust, psychological safety, and a culture of belonging. In each episode, we dive into essential topics impacting women in leadership - everything from shutting down your inner critic and imposter syndrome to overcoming perfectionism to using your voice in new ways to advocate for yourself, your ideas, and other folks carrying marginalized identities. You'll hear practical tips, effective strategies, and inspiring stories that will not only enhance your leadership skills but also broaden your perspective to become a more confident, thoughtful, and empathetic leader. Our stories come from people carrying identities who are often underrepresented, underestimated, and excluded. By sharing their experiences, we aim to provide you with invaluable lessons that will transform your leadership journey. We are thrilled to have you join this community of Shameless Leaders who are actively creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can intentionally lead through a more curious, compassionate, and inclusive lens.
