In With the Podcast (with Jenna!)

32. In With...A Guest: Laurie Jerger-Johnson

It's your lucky day! You get to hear from Laurie Jerger-Johnson!
Laurie shares her journey stepping into an executive leadership role and the important decisions she made to do leadership her own way. She tells us the four things you need to get comfortable saying as a leader (which she learned from a detective novel.) Plus, she teaches us how to grow confidence in our team members so they trust themselves more and ask you for advice less.  
Laurie leaves us the most simple, but most critical action we can take to regulate our stress and show up as the best version of ourselves. And Jenna challenges us to take it one step further. Because that's what she does. 
For real though, you don't want to miss this episode.

31. In With...The Discomfort

We're taking stuff out of our backpack and figuring out what we don't need to carry!
In this episode, Jenna shares the top five challenges she encounters in conversations with new leaders. We look at the stories we might be telling ourselves and how they're keeping us stuck. 
Jenna reminds us if you want to grow as a leader, doing easy comfortable things is NOT going to do much for your growth. And then she pulls a real dick move by forcing us to sit in our discomfort to see what we learn.
For real though...take care of yourself this week.

30. In With...The Baggage

Welcome to season three of In With...The Podcast <insert air horns here!>
Jenna explains the inspiration behind the new season, including illuminating conversations with smart people, and imaginary arguments with jerks in her head at night.
We start to explore the unique challenges of high-achievers and big dreamers, and how stepping into leadership roles can be especially tricky when we have a long track record of being awesome at life.
Plus, we open up our backpacks to see what kinds of heavy baggage we're carrying around. We'll unload our heavy bags a little more each week. Your chiropractor will be pumped.

29. In With...Season Three Trailer

Does this sound like you? Your life has been marked by one remarkable achievement after another. Your sights are always set on the next big thing - whether it’s at work or in your personal life. And honestly, all of this stuff has always come pretty easily to you. 
Then, you get promoted into a leadership role. You think, "Easy peasy. I can do this. I can do anything!"
When you’ve spent your whole life as a badass individual contributor, your transition into leadership or managing people might not come as easily as you imagined. The skills and tools you need to be successful will probably look a little different.
In Season Three of In With...The Podcast, I’ll break down frequently discussed topics I hear in coaching sessions with new leaders.
Plus, we’ll hear from leaders and experts who have made the leap from kick-ass achiever to leader or manager.
Consider this the leadership manual you desperately need that HR isn’t going to give to you.
Stay tuned for Season Three later this October!

28. In With...The Feathers

Jenna emerges from a summer incubation where she was inundated by feathers, dimes and synchronicities. So much so, that she consulted a psychic to understand what the heck is going on. Jenna shares highlights from her session that might help you understand yourself better, too.
Jenna reminds us confidence comes from taking YOUR next step, regardless of whether it's the "correct" step. In fact, there might not be such thing as the correct step. Unless you're building an airplane. 
Plus, stick around for a sneak peek into Season Three of In With...The Podcast!

27. In With...The Prime of Life

Jenna shares highlights from her birthday week (yes, she gets a whole week). Plus, she shares realizations and lessons that came from this epic celebration. Most notably,  that "prime of life," isn't so much an age as it is a mindset. 
After seeing a meme that tells her to "breathe and remember who the f&ck you are," Jenna reflects on who the F she is and asks us a couple questions to ground ourselves and become more of who we are.

26. In With...The Joy

Jenna takes "retail therapy" to a whole new level when she bursts into tears in her favorite store. What the heck is joy and what can we do to choose it more regularly? And what happens to the people around us when we take these intentional steps?
Jenna encourages us to choose compassion - not just for others, but even more importantly for ourselves. Plus, she implores us to start complimenting strangers. We're going to start a movement for her birthday month.
