A passion and an area of study of mine over the past 10 years is positive psychology. It has many definitions but it's NOT positive thinking or law of attraction. Listen into a great conversation I had with Seph Fontane Pennock as we talk about PP and leadership.Seph Fontane Pennock started PositivePsychologyProgram.com in 2013 as a personal blog.

On today's show with Marisa, we talk about being honest about the barriers that exist in our world/workplace to help prepare our girls for their future, the importance of “little moments”, and about practicing the art of speaking up, asking, and negotiating.Dr. Marisa Porges is known for her work on gender and education, leadership, and national security and is the author of What Girls Need: How to Raise Bold, Courageous, and Resilient Women (Viking Press, 2020). She is currently the eighth Head of School of The Baldwin School, a 130-year-old all-girls school outside of Philadelphia, that is renowned for academic excellence and preparing girls to be leaders and changemakers. She is an alumna of Baldwin and personally understands the power of its approach to educating girls: it provided the foundation for her own military service and work on national security and foreign affairs.Prior to joining Baldwin, Dr. Porges was a leading counterterrorism and national security expert. Most recently, she served in the Obama White House as a senior policy advisor and White House Fellow at the National Economic Council, where she oversaw the development of domestic cybersecurity and consumer protection policies. She also has served as a research fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and at the Council on Foreign Relations, where her research focused on counterterrorism. In these roles, she traveled alone throughout the Middle East and Afghanistan to conduct research, interview former members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, meet with Syrian rebel fighters in hiding, and serve as an embedded civilian advisor at NATO military headquarters in Afghanistan. She also worked as a counterterrorism policy advisor in the U.S. Department of Treasury and as a foreign affairs advisor in the U.S. Department of Defense. In all these roles, she stood out as one of a few – if not the only – women present, at any given time. Dr. Porges started her career on active duty in the U.S. Navy, flying jets off carriers as a naval flight officer on EA-6B Prowlers. Ten years after the Navy first allowed women to fly jets into combat, she pursued her dream of being launched off an aircraft carrier while serving her country. She earned a B.A. in geophysics from Harvard, an MSc from the London School of Economics, and a PhD in war studies from King's College London. Her awards include the National Committee on American Foreign Policy 21st Century Leader Award and the NATO Medal for service in Afghanistan. Dr. Porges lives outside of Philadelphia, with her family.You can get a copy of Marisa's book and connect with her here:http://marisaporges.com/book/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marisaporges/

For years, Carol didn't know what she wanted to do. Her personal life had not only left her broken-hearted and mistrustful of others, but worse— she was mistrustful of her own instincts.She had been working in the corporate world for over 20 years, most recently in a leadership role at a Fortune 10 company. Although she worked hard and was consistently recognized and promoted, she somehow knew that she was meant to do something different. She felt stuck in a life that didn't fit, yet she had created it. What was her purpose? She had no idea.Finally, she left her corporate job and made the leap into the unknown. After doing months of intense inner work, she discovered that she could combine her life and business experience with her soul-aligned interests. She knew she had a talent for building thriving, productive teams and helping people to see their unique strengths and gifts, but it took a while for her Soul-aligned purpose to emerge.She is the creator and Co-founder of The Divine Breadcrumb, a global online community and podcast, which showcases amazing people shining their light around the world. She started writing a blog to share her own story, things she didn't even imagine doing a few years ago. But as often is the case, the Universe had an even bigger plan for her than she had for herself.Carol is now now a certified coach, focusing on awareness, empowerment & transition. She helps clients to energetically heal emotional wounds, clear patterns & beliefs, connect to their heart intelligence, cultivate self-love and discover meaning and purpose. It's when we do this inner work that we're able to move towards our goals with confidence. Her Soul knew what she would be doing long before she did, and she's grateful, as am I, that she followed the Divine map that was laid out before me!Carol loves traveling, exploring new cultures, being in nature and helping people on their own paths. She holds a B.A. in Communications and lives in Massachusetts with her rambunctious and hilarious cats.You can connect with Carol here:https://carollcampos.com/

Let's explore the significant mental health challenges that are arising at this time; not just the isolation and distancing but even moreso the expectations we put on ourselves to hyper perform.

Melanie Perry is a Canadian military wife, trained elementary school teacher, and entrepreneur. In 2014, Melanie and her husband were eagerly awaiting the birth of their second son AND another military relocation. It was then that she decided that although she had dreamed of being a teacher since her own childhood, teaching in a conventional classroom wasn't what she wanted for herself anymore. Between many more future moves and raising her two young sons, Melanie set her sights on something out of the box that would allow her to be a constant for her family in a life of change while still fulfilling her own professional goals. Since then, she has dabbled in network marketing, worked as a civilian for the Department of National Defense, volunteered with the Canadian Military Wives Choir and, most recently Ability Dogs Canada, and begun her own work-from-home Virtual Assistant business. But Melanie's newest and arguably most exciting journey is the launch of her own one-of-a-kind business, “This Dandelion Life” – an online space and mentorship program for other military spouses and Moms. Combining her passions for teaching, personal development, mindfulness, and the power of “intentional optimism”, Melanie is linking arms with as many incredible women as she can. She is passionate about sharing the lessons she has learned in her 15 years as a military spouse and helping others learn the power of mastering their own mindset.Learn more about Melanie at www.thisdandelionlife.com, Mel Perry, or on Instagram @ThisDandelionLife!
