Podcasts about Showing Up

In today's episode, we're talking about the role men play in fertility and women's health. Too often, the fertility journey places the burden entirely on women, physically, emotionally, and medically. Dr. McCarthy unpacks why that's both inaccurate and damaging, and shares what true masculinity looks like during this chapter: support, presence, and courage. From hormone imbalances and sperm health to the overlooked emotional toll men face, this episode is a candid call for men to stay in the room—with their partners and with themselves.

In today's episode, we dive into part two of the human side of leadership with Angelee, who shares her journey of balancing her leadership role with vulnerability, self-doubt, and authenticity. As a leader in her business, she explores the challenges of showing up fully human, accepting both the strengths and weaknesses that come with it, and how emotional transparency can lead to greater connection and candor with others.This conversation is packed with deep insights on leadership, personal growth, and understanding how to truly show up as yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable. We also get real about the struggles of people-pleasing and the desire to be seen as strong, and how those desires can sometimes conflict with being authentic.About AngeleeAngelee is a Dallas local with a deep passion for intentional living, storytelling, and cultivating genuine connections. With a background spanning retail visual merchandising, marketing, and photo production, her career has always been rooted in creativity and collaboration. These days, she works closely with Le Social, a boutique creative and marketing agency, helping brands bring their vision to life through thoughtful strategy, impactful content, and client engagement. A lifelong hustler with a heart for creative communities, Angelee thrives at the intersection of artistry and entrepreneurship. Always energized by the opportunity to build something meaningful alongside fellow dreamers and doers.Angelee's Leadership Journey: Showing Up as YourselfI start the conversation by asking Angelee about a recent business venture she's embarked on with a close friend. She reflects on the challenge of stepping into leadership, managing a team, and accepting the responsibility of guiding others. However, as an emotionally-driven, empathetic person, she finds it difficult to show up as a strong leader without fearing that her emotions might make her appear weak.Angelee gets candid about her internal battle of wanting to be seen as strong, composed, and in control, but struggling with the reality of her emotions often spilling out in ways that feel beyond her control. She wonders whether showing emotion is a weakness in leadership, but also recognizes that it's part of her authentic self.The Battle of Being Strong vs. Being RealI challenge Angelee with a simple question: What does it mean to be a strong leader? Angelee admits that for her, strength means having the ability to control her emotions, even when she feels overwhelmed or vulnerable. But as she reflects on her own experiences, she realizes that true strength in leadership might not lie in suppressing emotions, but rather in embracing them while staying grounded in the process.I push her to think about whether this perception of strength is truly what makes a great leader or if it's merely a self-imposed expectation. Angelee realizes that strength might look different for everyone, and for her, it's about leading with vulnerability, knowing that it's okay to not always have everything under control.People-Pleasing and the Cost of SacrificeAngelee opens up about her history of people-pleasing tendencies and how they've shaped her as a leader. She talks about how she often finds herself doing things for others out of a desire to be loved and appreciated, which can sometimes lead her to sacrifice her own needs.I help her distinguish between service and sacrifice, pointing out that sacrifice often comes from a place of needing validation, while service comes from a place of abundance and love. Angelee acknowledges that she often confuses the two and that this confusion impacts her ability to lead from a healthy, grounded place.Desire for Individuality and the Fear of Losing ControlThe conversation then turns to the idea of individuality in leadership. Angelee shares her internal struggle of wanting to stand out and be memorable, while also desiring to blend in with the group. She admits that she wants to be seen and appreciated for her uniqueness, but also wrestles with the fear of being too much or too different.I encourage her to embrace her individuality without feeling that it takes away from others. I remind her that being memorable and unique doesn't mean overshadowing others, and that leadership is about finding the balance between standing out and bringing others along.Creating Safe Spaces and Setting BoundariesAs Angelee reflects on her leadership journey, she talks about the importance of creating safe spaces, both for herself and for her team. She shares how, over the years, she's become more intentional about the people she surrounds herself with, focusing on relationships that are built on trust, respect, and emotional safety.She recognizes that setting boundaries is crucial for protecting her own well-being and ensuring that she can show up fully without burning out. I remind her that boundaries aren't about keeping people out, but rather about preserving what matters most so she can continue to serve others from a place of overflow.The Power of Being Human and VulnerableOne of the key themes in this conversation is the power of being human and vulnerable in leadership. We talk about how embracing vulnerability not only helps leaders connect with their teams but also allows for deeper, more authentic relationships. Angelee reflects on how, in the past, she's avoided vulnerability because it felt like a weakness, but now she sees it as a strength that leads to greater candor and connection.I emphasize that being human doesn't mean being perfect. It means showing up with your full self, emotions and all, and allowing others to see you as you are. This kind of transparency creates an environment where others feel safe to do the same, which fosters trust and collaboration.Resources Mentioned Angelee's website: https://www.his-and-her.com/ Follow Angelee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hisandher___ Join my upcoming free LIVE leadership training at rockygarza.com/confidenceKey Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Unfinished Leadership00:33 Meet Angelique: The Real Story Behind Leadership01:15 The Emotional Journey of Leadership02:52 The Struggle with Emotions in Leadership04:26 The Importance of Being Genuine07:11 Balancing Candor and Control08:54 The Power of Human Connection17:55 Reflecting on Personal Impact21:35 Defining Service vs. Sacrifice22:21 The Struggle with People Pleasing24:08 Desire to Be Memorable24:53 Balancing Individuality and Inclusion27:03 The Importance of Setting Boundaries28:26 Showing Up as Your True Self32:16 The Power of Human Connection42:19 Final Thoughts and EncouragementTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

More than 20 years ago, my wife Beth and I volunteered to take on a Little Brother from our local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters. We thought we would be helping a child who needed something we could give. What we didn't expect was how much we'd grow—and how much that little boy would change our lives. You see, at the time, I was busy, distracted, stretched thin. But that small, consistent commitment turned into a life-giving friendship. And Beth and I learned an important lesson that still guides us today: that stepping outside your comfort zone isn't about doing more—it's about becoming more. I was reminded of that lesson when I read the nomination for this month's On Fire For Good honoree, Aimee Risser. Let me explain.

In today's episode, I'm joined by my good friend, Angelee Fortuna, for a real and candid conversation about leadership, emotions, and the power of showing up as your true self. Over the years, Angelee has been an incredible example of leadership, not just through her achievements, but through her willingness to show vulnerability and authenticity.We're diving into how she balances being emotionally present and being a leader. We talk about people-pleasing, the struggle with finding your voice, and the power of being memorable without diminishing others. I also challenge Angelee to think about how she shows up fully in her life, both professionally and personally, and how to do that without feeling drained.About AngeleeAngelee is a Dallas local with a deep passion for intentional living, storytelling, and cultivating genuine connections. With a background spanning retail visual merchandising, marketing, and photo production, her career has always been rooted in creativity and collaboration. These days, she works closely with Le Social, a boutique creative and marketing agency, helping brands bring their vision to life through thoughtful strategy, impactful content, and client engagement. A lifelong hustler with a heart for creative communities, Angelee thrives at the intersection of artistry and entrepreneurship. Always energized by the opportunity to build something meaningful alongside fellow dreamers and doers.Angelee's Journey: Awareness and ImpactAngelee opens up about a conversation she had with her husband, Eddie, where he helped her realize the impact she has on those around her. Through their 20 years together, she's learned how her words—both positive and negative—cut deep for people. She struggles with finding the balance between wanting to be understood while also not wanting to overwhelm others with her intensity.Angelee reflects on this realization and how, for her, expressing herself honestly isn't about being aggressive; it's about being clear. This part of our conversation reveals how often we don't realize the weight of our words until someone else brings it to our attention.The Struggle with People PleasingA huge part of Angelee's journey has been tackling her own people-pleasing tendencies. She admits that while she's always eager to serve others, she's also battling with the feeling that it's often at the cost of sacrificing herself. We dig into the difference between sacrifice—losing yourself to gain approval—and service—giving freely from a place of overflow and love.Angelee admits she struggles with this, and we both share how easy it is to confuse the two. It's a conversation that's so valuable because, in the pursuit of serving others, we often lose sight of our own needs.Defining Service vs. SacrificeThis conversation led us to a critical reflection on how we define sacrifice and service. Sacrifice, in this context, isn't about selflessness—it's about losing yourself to gain approval. On the other hand, service comes from a place of abundance and a desire to support others without depleting your own energy.This shift in perspective has been an important lesson for both of us. We discuss how we've both, at times, sacrificed our own needs for others, and how, with growth, we've learned that service should come from a healthier, more sustainable place.The Desire to Be MemorableWe dive deeper into Angelee's personal desire to be memorable. But what does that truly mean? She recognizes that her instinct is to blend in, to be part of the group, but also feels the pull to stand out in a way that's uniquely hers. She grapples with the idea of being memorable without taking away from others.I challenge her with a tough question: Can you be memorable without overshadowing others? The answer is a resounding yes, and we talk about how embracing your individuality doesn't need to be in conflict with others doing the same.The Importance of IndividualityAngelee shares how, as she's grown older, her circle has gotten smaller and more intentional. She reflects on how important it is for her to be surrounded by people who make her feel safe, accepted, and in control—not in the sense of dominance, but in the sense of emotional security.It's a beautiful reminder of how essential it is to surround ourselves with those who help us grow, while also allowing us to maintain a sense of safety and belonging.Creating Safe Spaces and BoundariesIn this segment, we explore how creating safe spaces is critical for healthy leadership and personal relationships. We discuss boundaries—how they're not just about keeping people out, but about creating room for the things we love to thrive.I encourage Angelee to think about the boundaries she's setting in her life, both personally and professionally, and how they enable her to serve from a place of overflow instead of depletion.The Power of Human ConnectionWe dive into the concept of human connection and how showing up as your true self, with all the messy emotions and imperfections, can create deeper, more meaningful relationships. Angelee reflects on how showing up as “herself” allows others to feel more comfortable doing the same.The vulnerability and authenticity that come with this approach lead to more real conversations, better leadership, and deeper trust.Embracing Emotion in LeadershipAngelee has learned to embrace her emotions in leadership—understanding that they don't make her weak, but rather make her relatable and human. We explore how allowing ourselves to show emotion as leaders actually strengthens our connection with those we lead, rather than diminishing it.This was such a powerful part of the conversation because it's often hard for leaders to admit that they are emotional beings, and yet, that's exactly what makes us great leaders.Show Up FullyAs we wrap up, I encourage Angelee to continue showing up as her full, authentic self. The more we lean into who we really are, the more we can give to others without depleting ourselves. And when we embrace the full range of emotions, we create an environment where others feel safe to do the same.I'm so grateful to have had this conversation with Angelee.

Flute 360 | Episode 333: “Silence, Resistance & Showing Up Anyway” In this solo episode of the Flute 360 podcast, Dr. Heidi Kay Begay opens up about a quiet but powerful force many musicians face: resistance. Whether you're a flutist, music educator, or multi-passionate creative, this conversation invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and name what's keeping you from your next breakthrough. Heidi shares reflections on her own creative process, including the internal blocks that surfaced while writing her upcoming book on holistic healing for musicians. Through stories from her coaching work with professional flutists, she reveals how even the most accomplished artists wrestle with fear, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism—especially when launching a new project. You'll also hear about how silence and intentional listening can be a transformative practice in your personal, professional, and musical life. From overcoming performance anxiety to reconnecting with your artistic calling, this episode provides encouragement and practical insight for flutists navigating resistance in all its forms. To access your free guide and join the next live session, see the links in the show notes. Thank you for listening to Flute 360—the podcast where flutists rediscover their voice, their joy, and their God-given calling. This conversation is for you if… You've been putting off a project like a course, book, recital, or studio launch. You're feeling stuck in your flute career or unsure of your next step. You're navigating burnout, doubt, or creative blocks as a musician. You're seeking a more holistic and faith-centered approach to artistry.

Send us a textAre you stuck in the endless cycle of trying to find the perfect niche, create a stunning website, and develop a flawless business strategy before you feel ready to coach? It's time to break free from this trap.After guiding thousands of coaches through the early stages of their journey, we've discovered a powerful truth: the very things most coaches obsess over—niches, websites, business plans—are often the exact things holding them back from making the impact they're meant to make. This obsession with strategy isn't about confusion; it's about fear. Fear of being seen, fear of failing, fear of not being good enough.The transformational shift happens when you realize that you don't become a coach by building a website; you become a coach by coaching. When you focus on what we call the "Three S's of Starting"—Service (practicing coaching through free conversations), Showing Up (creating visibility), and Specialty (speaking to real pain points)—everything changes. Your confidence grows with each person you help, and suddenly, the path forward becomes clear.What's particularly fascinating is how your specialty or niche emerges organically from the work itself. As you coach more people, you'll notice patterns in who gravitates toward you and what problems you're especially adept at solving. This organic discovery is far more powerful and authentic than trying to force yourself into some predetermined box based on market research.Ready to stop overthinking and start coaching? Our mini action plan will get you moving: message three people offering coaching, go live offering free clarity sessions, and record a video sharing your core message. Because remember, clarity doesn't come before action—it comes from action. What's really holding you back? And what impact could you make if you started today?Subscribe now and join a community of coaches who are done with perfectionism and ready to make their unique impact on the world.Want a personalized strategy session for free?

Some people talk about discipline. *Alison Douglas lives it.*In this raw and unfiltered episode of *I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman*, Luis sits down with CrossFit Games athlete and founder of *Nutrition Kitchen*, *Alison Douglas*—a certified force of nature who went from getting fired from her 9–5 to becoming one of the top 30 fittest women in the world… all while running a meal prep company that's redefining what "healthy" actually tastes like.Allison doesn't just lift weights—she lifts people, businesses, expectations, and herself every damn day. She's built a life around showing up, pushing through discomfort, and calling out the B.S. that keeps people stuck. This episode isn't just about fitness. It's about doing hard sh*t and realizing you're capable of way more than the world—or even you—give yourself credit for.Whether you're an artist trying to eat better without giving up flavor, a creative drowning in self-doubt, or a business owner wondering how the hell to scale without burning out, Allison drops nothing but straight-up gold.*We get into:*- How getting fired turned out to be the greatest thing that ever happened to her CrossFit, nutrition for athletes, meal prep, artist podcast, creative discipline, entrepreneurship, fitness journey, wellness, small business, healthy eating, macro tracking, imposter syndrome, personal growth, overcoming failure, food as fuel, fitness mindset, strong women, podcast for creatives, CrossFit Games, nutrition tips, health and hustle, evolving as an artist, goal setting, motivation, mental health, Allison Graddock- The very real connection between food, fitness, and identity - What it really takes to qualify for the CrossFit Games in the 40–44 age bracket (hint: no off days) - Her journey from "just good enough" to "I want more" — and how that mindset changed everything - The business side of *Nutrition Kitchen*: why quality wins over quantity, and why she refuses to mass-produce trash food - Why your food shouldn't be punishment—and how joy, flavor, and health can absolutely coexist - The importance of evolving, even if it means leaving people behind - Her experience battling an eating disorder in college and what finally snapped her out of it - Going through divorce, losing her brother, and deciding to take her life back—on her terms - Why being "too honest" gets her labeled a bitch, and why she's okay with that - The mental game behind pushing yourself when nobody's watching, when you're tired, and when quitting would be so much easier - How to stop settling for "good enough" and build a life that actually feels like yours You'll also hear Luis open up about his own fitness transformation, what it means to carry momentum, and why comfort zones are basically quicksand. This episode goes deeper than macros or muscle—this is about facing your sh*t, owning your truth, and raising the bar, even if it pisses some people off.Because the truth is, not everyone wants to grow. Not everyone wants to evolve. But if you do? If you want more? If you're sick of half-assing your goals or talking yourself out of greatness, then press play.Allison's story isn't clean. It's not curated. It's not some Pinterest version of wellness. It's real. It's hard. It's messy. And it works.She didn't get here by playing it safe—she got here by showing up, doing the damn work, and refusing to settle. If you're ready to eat better, train smarter, and live louder—this one's for you.*Follow Allison on IG* → @allison.nutritionkitch *Check out Nutrition Kitchen* → @nutritionkitch *Order meals, change your life* → nutritionkitch.com *Follow Luis + the IAANAS journey* → @imanartistnotasalesman Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or wherever you tune in.*Rate it.

When your habits upgrade but your self-image stays stuck, it creates a kind of internal tug-of-war. You can push forward with new behaviours, but deep down, you're still wired to believe you're the “old you.” That conflict? That's not laziness. It's identity resistance. And identity always wins... until you rewrite it.This isn't about trying harder. It's about becoming HER. Letting go of the outdated version of you isn't optional. It's the price of lasting change.Join the Bombshell BlueprintGet the Free Weight Loss Course

When you are building a new business and marketing yourself, you will be networking with other business owners quite frequently. In these encounters, it is so important to present yourself as professional and prepared.    In this episode of the Leading Lady Podcast, I discuss a business call that I had and how it left me feeling sour and disappointed. I share this conversation not to rant, but to share an example for any aspiring entrepreneurs about how to show up and share your best abilities.    After listening to my experience, I hope you understand the importance of showing up with professionalism.

If something is suffering, what can you do to shift your alignment so you show up as your best self in any situation?    Show notes available at www.leadinglady-coaching.com/podcast   Have you joined the Leading Ladies Facebook Group yet?!

This one's for you who's longing to be known. Today, we are joined by dear friends of The Grove— Rachel Baldwin, Kerri Stanfill, and Susan Robinson— for a vulnerable conversation about what it really means to be seen, loved, and surrounded by a real community.  But where do we begin? How do we create a space where people feel safe to be known — not only when we win, but also when we ache?Through wisdom and practical encouragement, Rachel, Kerri, and Susan invite us to go first — in vulnerability, in confession, in reaching out, in showing up. They discuss the power of presence, the courage it takes to initiate, and why we don't have to have it all together to start forming or maintaining our meaningful relationships. For the woman longing for deeper friendship but unsure where to begin, this episode is filled with grace and guidance for taking that first brave step.Whether you're flourishing in community or feeling forgotten on the sidelines, you'll leave this conversation reminded that you're not alone.
