Show Notes: What’s holding you back from getting exactly what you want? That’s the question I walked away with after talking to Melanie Borden, CEO of the Borden Group. If you’re not asking for it, you’re missing out—CLOSED MOUTHS don’t get fed. Whether it’s LinkedIn, business, or life, being INTENTIONAL is the key. Melanie’s use of AI blew my mind, showing just how much more we can do with the right tools. The truth? You have EVERYTHING you need to ELEVATE, but you’ve got to step up and GRAB IT. That’s exactly why we created the Elevate Your Influence Bootcamp—to help you SHOW UP, be BOLD, and be UNAPOLOGETICALLY yourself. It’s time to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them. Join us and take your career to the next level!If You Liked This Episode You Might Also Like These Episodes:#368: The Top Hacks To Elevate Your Influence, Attract Clients & Crush Your Goals This Year with Heather and Melanie Borden!#411: From Setbacks to BREAKTHROUGHS: Create Confidence In Any Situation With Heather!#402: Conflict into Connection: The Art of Effective Communication with Charles Duhigg Pulitzer Prize-winning Reporter & Bestselling Author

Show Notes: What if success wasn’t about working harder, but working SMARTER? My conversation with Seth Godin completely shifted my perspective. Strategy isn’t about hustling faster—it’s about PAUSING and asking, “Am I headed in the right direction?” Seth made it CRYSTAL CLEAR: you can’t serve everyone, and that’s where your true power lies. FOCUS on who you’re truly here to help, and don’t be afraid to say “no” to the rest. My biggest AHA moment? Fear is ALWAYS there, but it’s not your enemy—it’s your signal that you’re stepping into something GREAT. If you want to learn how to navigate fear, sharpen your strategy, and make bold, impactful moves, Seth’s new book This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans is a must-read. Push through, STAY FOCUSED, and watch the MAGIC unfold.If You Liked This Episode You Might Also Like These Episodes:#79: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice#426: The Secret To Breaking The Glass Ceiling & Claiming Your Spot In The C-suite with Lisa Lutoff-Perlo Bestselling Author, Speaker, & former CEO of Celebrity Cruises#410: What To Do BEFORE You Get Fired: Build Your Brand, Find Opportunities, & Stay Resilient with Heather!

Show Notes: How do you handle the chaos when life throws curveballs your way? This week reminded me that life is unpredictable, and trying to control everything only drains your peace. Instead, embrace UNCERTAINTY—it frees you to stay open to new possibilities. When things spiral, focus on what you CAN control and don’t stress others until you have concrete answers. Rather than apologize, THANK people for their understanding and offer a compromise. Prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s how you show up as your BEST self. Stay flexible, keep moving, and remember—things often work out even BETTER than you expect!

Whether it's pitching a book 15 times or investing in yourself, PERSISTENCE is your secret weapon. Positive prayer, GRATITUDE, and affirming your desires as if they’re already real will shift everything. Stop settling. WORK HARD, invest in yourself, and HOLD THAT VISION. Everything is rigged in your favor, so show up as the BEST version of yourself and watch the universe ALIGN. And remember, don’t be vanilla—you were made to STAND OUT!
