In this episode, Christina shows up at the end of a long day—post-walk, unfiltered, and debating whether she should even hit “upload.” But the story behind why she almost didn't post this one is worth the listen.She also pulls back the curtain on a behind-the-scenes disaster that nearly pushed her over the edge this week. Let's just say it involves a 35-minute recording, a message from her assistant, and a very real “I might cry” moment. Christina doesn't reveal every detail here… but when you hear it, you'll feel it.From there, she shares how her best podcast ideas actually come together—and why next year's episodes are about to look very different.

There's a seismic shift happening in the online space right now and the women who thrive in 2026 won't be the ones consuming more strategy, signing up for more certifications, or gathering more tools. They'll be the ones who finally integrate the truth they already carry. In this episode I'm sharing the energetic evolution I see unfolding for women in business, why identity and energetic mastery are becoming the true differentiators, and why the deeper work now isn't about fixing yourself. It's about embodying who you already are. We'll talk about nervous system leadership, energetic precision inside business, and what it actually looks like to lead from truth rather than effort.

What if the fastest way to grow your career isn't a straight climb but a series of smart, sideways moves that sharpen your empathy and judgment?  In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Catherine Wong, COO and CPO at Entrata, to unpack how she scales products and people by shaping cultures where every voice is invited, and the best ideas surface early. From engineering during the dot-com downturn to leading global teams through acquisitions and hypergrowth, Catherine shares the habits that turn uncertainty into momentum: practice your voice, ask for real feedback, and reward behaviors that build trust.We go deep on how product and operations intersect when you're building an operating system for real estate. Catherine explains why diverse perspectives improve outcomes and how leaders can intentionally signal what matters by recognizing thoughtful execution, not just loud opinions. Her take on the future of work is refreshingly actionable: AI changes the “how,” not the “why.” Whether you specialize or stay broad, treat curiosity like a muscle. Run small experiments, unlearn out-of-date tactics, and stay anchored to clear business outcomes.You'll hear practical frameworks for deciding under ambiguity. widen inputs, seek data, welcome dissent, and iterate with agility. Catherine also breaks down visibility tactics for women who are competent but overlooked: volunteer for updates, lead slices of complex projects, and request precise post-meeting feedback. Her story of integrating a UK acquisition while battling imposter syndrome reveals a simple truth: courage plus clarity compounds into trust, scope, and impact.If you care about culture design, product leadership, AI fluency, and building a resilient career in tech, this conversation is a blueprint you can use today.

When the newest cohort of the Front Royal–Warren County Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership Program filed into the conference room, they didn't expect their first assignment to involve a radio interview. Yet chamber director Niki Foster insists that discomfort is part of the process. As she tells Valley Today host Janet Michael, leadership requires stepping outside routine—and this program is designed to stretch participants in the best possible ways. A Program Built to Strengthen Community Now more than 25 years old, the Chamber's leadership program remains one of the region's most impactful professional development opportunities. Since 1999, it has graduated nearly 300 people—small-business owners, town staff, nonprofit leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, and engaged residents. Niki explains that the program offers a "wide-angle lens" view of Front Royal and Warren County. Participants explore how local government works, how social services operate, what drives economic growth, how nonprofits collaborate, and what challenges shape daily life in the community. Moreover, she emphasizes that the program serves the community just as much as the participants. Graduates leave with accurate knowledge, real-world context, and the confidence to correct misinformation that spreads on social media or in neighborhood groups. A Class Filled With Motivation—and Curiosity As Janet goes around the room, the class reveals a diverse mix of personal motivations: Nonprofit Leaders Looking for Deeper Understanding Andrea Ross, representing Warren County Habitat for Humanity, hopes to better understand the inner workings of the community she serves. Rachel Ross, newly relocated and working with Warren County Department of Social Services, wants to connect locally and learn the landscape. Doris Lockwood, a 20-year military veteran, appreciates the chance to see "how the community works—and sometimes doesn't." Small-Business Owners Seeking Connection Janet Counts, co-owner of Potomac Plumbing & Gas, supports women in business and wants a clearer picture of how her business fits into the local ecosystem. Jennifer Nicholson, owner of Jennerations Hair Studio & Spa, enrolled because friends raved about the program's impact. Local Government Employees Strengthening Their Roots Eric Jorgenson and Megan Clark of the Town of Front Royal see the program as a way to understand community needs more fully and collaborate across departments. Educators & Workforce Developers Expanding Their View Anna Walton from Blue Ridge Technical Center wants to form informed opinions—not guesses—about local issues. Lisa Mauck, an adjunct professor with Laurel Ridge Community College, completed the program 24 years ago and returned for a modern refresher. A Student With a Head Start Zachary Nicholson, the youngest participant, joined simply to learn about his community—earning praise from Janet for choosing curiosity over obligation. Together, their voices paint a picture of a community eager to learn, participate, and contribute. Evolution in a Growing Region As Janet and Niki reflect on the program's history, they acknowledge how dramatically the county has changed since its inception. Businesses have expanded, new neighborhoods have emerged, and local government has evolved. That's why Niki loves when alumni return; the learning is never truly finished. Importantly, Niki notes that town staff have participated every single year—a powerful endorsement of the program's relevance. Valley Health, too, is a consistent supporter, sending team members annually to strengthen cross-sector understanding. Connecting the Dots Across Sectors Because participants represent nearly every corner of the community—government, healthcare, education, nonprofits, small business—the program becomes a living network. "We all touch different people," Niki explains. The more accurate information leaders share, the stronger the community becomes. From tours of major institutions to hands-on sessions during government and education months, the program forces participants to move beyond assumptions and see the systems they inhabit. Holiday Hustle: The Chamber's Busiest Season In the second half of the episode, the conversation shifts from leadership development to full-blown holiday logistics. And for Niki, December is no small undertaking. The Christmas Parade & Merry Market The Front Royal Christmas Parade, one of the largest annual events downtown, draws more than 7,000 attendees—making it the third-largest community gathering. Interest is so strong that parade applications were requested as early as February. Beyond the parade, Niki outlines a full day of activities: Holiday performances at the gazebo The Merry Market featuring small businesses and seasonal vendors Children's activities Pancake breakfasts, open houses, concerts, and more As Janet jokes, it's the kind of day that makes Front Royal feel like a Hallmark movie—though Niki insists it feels more like the small-town charm of Gilmore Girls. Business After Hours & Community Giving Even with the holiday chaos, the chamber continues its regular programming. December includes: Coffee & Conversation, held the first Friday of every month Business After Hours at Royal Cinemas on December 9, raising funds for Warren County foster care A free screening of Elf afterward Cocoa & Cookies at the Chamber on December 19—open to everyone, not just members Looking Ahead: Education and Local Government As the leadership class finishes its introductions, Nikki previews their upcoming sessions: December: Education — tours, presentations, and immersive learning in local schools January: Local Government — meetings with officials, facility tours, and firsthand exploration of how decisions are made Janet can't resist teasing them about Public Safety Day, warning that Warren County Fire & Rescue legend Gerry Maiatico never misses an audience. A Class Just Getting Started As the conversation wraps, the participants settle into their first day as a cohort—curious, energized, and ready for the nine-month journey ahead. Janet promises to return in June to ask them what surprised them most, what they loved, and how the experience changed their understanding of Front Royal and Warren County. One thing is certain: this group is diverse, engaged, and poised to make a meaningful impact.

What if the way you see things could change everything? This week on The Robyn Ivy Podcast, I'm inviting you into a reflective solo episode about the power of perspective—especially as we navigate the emotional terrain of the holiday season. From delayed flights and feral cats to shifting family dynamics and feedback that stings, I'm sharing real stories (and some laughs) about what it means to see life through a new lens. We talk about the stories we tell ourselves, how to find space between stimulus and response, and why cultivating neutrality is one of the most powerful tools we have. I'll also share how community, coaching, and creative support can help us rewrite even the oldest of patterns—and bring light to the darker seasons of the year. If you're feeling stuck, reactive, or just a little lost in the holiday shuffle, this one's for you. It's full of practical tools, personal honesty, and gentle encouragement to help you shift from reactivity to agency. 3 Key Takeaways from the Episode: Perspective Is Power: When you learn to look at your life differently—even just a few degrees—you open the door to new choices, creative responses, and a return to your own agency.Our Stories Shape Our Experience: You might not be able to change a situation, but you can shift the story you're telling about it. That shift can bring freedom, clarity, and ease.Connection Changes Everything: Whether it's through masterminds, coaching, or asking for feedback from trusted people, surrounding yourself with truth-tellers and kind mirrors will always expand what's possible. If this episode resonates and you're craving deeper support, don't do it alone. ✨ My new mastermind for women in business is now enrolling and 1:1 coaching consults are always open. Let's make this season feel different, on purpose.

Send us a textWhat happens when you look in the mirror and no longer recognize the survivor staring back at you?For many women recovering from breast cancer, burn injuries, or traumatic accidents, the physical battle may be over, but the emotional war with their own reflection has just begun. In this deeply moving and transformative episode, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Yesenia Nissan, a Bay Area-based Permanent Makeup and Paramedical Tattoo Artist who is redefining the intersection of beauty and mental health.Yesenia takes us into the delicate world of Paramedical Tattooing—a specialized art form used to create realistic 3D areolas and camouflage scars. She shares her pivot from a corporate medical career at Stanford to finding her soul's calling: using ink to help women reclaim the narrative of their bodies. Yesenia recounts the tearful, pivotal moment she handed a mirror to a cancer survivor who had lost her brows to chemotherapy, witnessing not just a physical change, but a profound "relaxation of the nervous system" as the woman finally saw herself again.But Yesenia's empathy is born from her own fires.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Allison Williams discuss:Developing business skills beyond legal trainingBalancing legal work with true leadership rolesStrengthening sales and client relationships with structureReducing stress through systems, communication, and metrics Key Takeaways:Law school doesn't teach the core business, sales, and time-management abilities required to run a successful firm. Lawyers must intentionally build these skills to avoid overwhelm and stagnation. Growth begins when practitioners embrace authenticity, process, and systemization.Many lawyer-owners struggle to act as both practitioner and CEO, leading to stress and inefficiency. Strong operational leaders and a capable C-suite can restore focus and improve firm performance. Delegating business responsibilities is essential for long-term sustainability.Sales shouldn't feel like auditioning for clients; the goal is to understand needs and build genuine rapport. Structured processes help qualify leads, nurture relationships, and improve conversion rates. Starting with reliable referral sources and existing channels leads to better outcomes.Systematized communication—from clear policies to automated updates—prevents client-driven chaos. Tools like workflow systems or SaneBox support better task and email management. Tracking metrics such as conversion rates and lead quality ensures informed, data-driven decisions. “Being authentic is the easiest, fastest, most profitable way for you to get to the outcome that you desire.” —  Allison Williams Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?
